He stared across the table at the dealer. Looking at his hand he cracked a grin for an instant. He didn't have a very good poker face. He laid down his hand with a triumpant humph. Unfortunately... the House always wins. A perfect hand. Jorgi got up a bit humphed. So much for having some money to waste. He swigged down his free drink, tossing the glass into his basket. He knew he really shouldn't take things like that but a lot of people did and he could probably get a fair return for it. Nowhere near what he'd just lost but something. He sat down at the Roulette table and put some of his money on Red. Come on red.

Damnable pigs.... She padded across the floors with a satchel of chips in her jaws. She'd spent the last few months laying low after winning much of her current funding in a suspicious game of knuckle bones.... Well, he shouldn't trust a dog if he doesn't wanna get screwed over. The question now was what to play. Blackjack? No..... I get too excited. Slots? What am I? 86? Roulette? ... So long as it isn't the Russian kind. She made her way over to the table and jumped up onto the table edge. The man currently being robbed seemed quite excited to lose. "S'gonna be black...." Dandie murmured, taking her satchel in one paw and pulling a cigarette from her bouffant with the free one.

He sputtered out a short string of curses under his breath as he downed another glass of whatever they had given him. Wine I think... He peered at his empty cup. Jorgi looked at Dandie for a moment then said, "If you need anything I'll sell it to you cheap." It certainly couldn't hurt to try to sell stuff to someone who was winning. "I have smokes for less than this place charges at the very least." This got him glared at by a few of the casino people but the fact that he put his money down again, on red still, stopped them from getting riled up.

As she stuck the cigarette between her teeth, a waitress appeared with match, "Light, sir?" Dandie narrowed her eyes and snatched the match from the girl's hand, making sure to catch the soft skin of the girl's knuckle with a stone sharpened claw, "That's Ma'am, ya doxy! A shameless little hussy like you should know the difference 'tween a madam and pander!" The waitress let out an indignant cry and dashed off. The poodle grinned and struck the match, "Someone's gotta set these tramps straight!"

I can sell you a nice beef liver though if that'd interest you," What the hell do you do with a kidney... He thought irritatitedly. So the lady thought she was a he. Did the woman honestly expect people to know at a glance. "Ma'am." It wouldn't hurt to tack it on. Jorgi watched as the man span the wheel again. Just land on red. I want to win at least once today...

Got any goat�s heart?� The roulette wheel spun round and the cute little ball went with it. Dandie took a single long draw on her cigarette and held it in, only letting it out after her face turned grey from lack of oxygen. She began to jitter along the table edge like a bunny on steroids as the wheels turn slowed.

He had already concluded his own loss and was now trying to sell some of the fresher meat he had before it spoiled. He didn't like carrying perishables. It was usually a bad deal but he'd gotten a good deal on that cow.

He was grinning as he spoke. Jorgi's cold eyes cutting at Dandie. That sort of callous overreaction was unexpected and Jorgi would probably regret it later.

Advanced Member Posts: 52 Group: Members Member #72 Joined: January 13, 2009	Dandie met his gaze and grinned wolfishly, "Honey, you ain't ready to gamble with me, and you're definitely not ready to go up against my group." She paused, and formulated a plan. The grin softened, "On second thought... Ever play knuckle bones?"

"Demonstate for me so I know what we're doing." He clasped his hands together. "Though I suppose if you don't even want to play with a complete beginner..."

She walked over to the tallest patron (a great dane chimera), and he lifted her onto his shoulders. She climbed up onto his head and called out: "WE GOT US A PIG, BOYS!" The majority of the casino noise disappeared. After nearly a moment of silence, there was a cry of joy from someone playing slots. The first cry was answered with more, and a great many poodle chimeras gathered around, all hooting and chortling. A portly man came padding through the circle, and he pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his dripping face with it before speaking. "I take it you all want the private room?" A large male chimera stepped up,quickly identified as the pack's temporary leader, "Yessir. And we request Mrs. Rew's rules." The sweaty manager sighed and nodded, "If the party will kindly follow me..." The gruop followed the man, still full of glee. Dandie climbed down and grinned at Jorgi, "Let's go...!"

Wll that was quite something. Certainly seemed impressive if nothing else he had to admit. He hadn't really expected it but he supposed that the lady wouldn't want to be in the middle of the casino for a private gamble. He didn't particularly care for the way he was being reffered to but he supposed he'd be able to deal with it.

Beyond the door was a floating patch of earth. There was a concrete floor, and it was circled by stone platforms. An iffy iron staircase connected the casino to its tiny private area. The poodle chimeras climbed down it and onto the island. Dandie shrieked with joy and pranced down after her brethren. The manager looked to Jorgi with look that said 'you poor bastard.'

He followed down the iffy staircase and followed he chimeras. "Well then, care to tell me our terms?" He said it with a calm and even vice that didn't show a hint of the strain he was starting to feel.
