Cards sprung up in front of each better, two fir each one. The dealer however would only attain one card. A series gold poker chip sprung out from each of their bodies and rolled upon their smooth edges until abruptly coming to rest at a pile bewteen their source and gambler, each one physically representing thier precious bets. Oh, I did forget to mention the deck format.The dealer adjusted his coat's cuffs before continuing on. There are an infinite number of cards within the deck. You cannot count the cards!Megami - Queen of Clubs, 6 of Diamonds. [10 and 6 for 16] Merrill - 3 of Hearts, Queen of Hearts [3 and 10 for 13] Rosario - 5 of Hearts, 2 of Spades. [5 and 2 for 7] Gambler - 10 of Diamonds [10]
In addition to your normal turn, you must use one of the following.
Hit: Draw a card. Gambler will grant you another turn unless you go over 21. Turns gained this way are processed as normal.
Stand: You get no more cards.
Double Down: Double your bet, draw 1 card and stand.
Surrender: Forefit your bet. You must have less than 3 cards. You are invincible until bets are placed again.
Split: Only avaliable when your starting pair are of the same value. Bet same value and a hand will be processed for each card. {Ex, 2 Aces. Each ace becomes its own hand and are played normally}. Busts in this method will count for each hand.

__________________________________________________
"This is bad..."
"Huh?"
Xenneth had looked to the table as Megami took notice to the words. This was not a good situation at all! He was not good at playing games or anything of that sort, but he was good enough to actually do numbers in his head. He knew, of all people, when the odds were not in his favor. This was usually the time he would choose to run away, but yet, he had this unsettling feeling when he looked at Gambler; as if sometihng told him not to cross this figure.
"I mean...I just am not sure if this is a winning situation. If we are playing Blackjack and the deck is an infinite format, then, that means, almost anything can happen with our draws. Plus, if we're using your energy...I am not sure how long we can hold out against this guy. He looks...strong."
One glance, Xenneth and Megami both could see that Gambler seemed formidable with his customized designs. Sure, it did not take away from the other guest NetNavis around them, but just his mere presence seemed to convey more hidden.
"Will we...maybe we should use Dark Chips this time, too?"
Xenneth's eyes closed, if only for a second. He dreaded the thought that the female NetNavi had to even suggest that.
"We will see down the line," he continued, "Until then, we will have to surrender our bet."
"Surrender? But wh-"
Megami stopped.
She was not very smart for a NetNavi that still had a personality that lingered as if she was born yesterday. However, she caught on quickly to Xenneth's feelings. Looking at the table, the hand she had herself, and the dealer; she felt very threatened just by seeing the card he had. Her instincts played off her Net Operators as she reached out her hand, flipping all the cards she had face down one by one and then slid them to Gambler along with the single poker chip that came from her body.
[Megami Surrendered her bet]
"I understand, Xen-kun."
She waited patiently.

Finding a comfortable spot in his chair, Rosario checked out his cards. Not a bad start, anything he got he could use. It may be risky, but he could gain a high hand with these. Looking over to his acquaintances, Megami seemed to already surrender her bet, meaning she must have had something to high to risk. Merrill was still thinking intently on what to do, so for now Rosario would make his move. "Hit, please."This is a strange way of Blackjack having infinite cards, but this is the Cyberworld, and it does prevent any methods of counting the cards, yet in turn makes it all the more riskier. This should be enjoyable.|Defense Phase|

Merrill Stared at his cards. An interesting Start, to say the least. Not strong enough by any means to make a safe bet on though. Dispite the fact this was a "game," He took it seriously.
"I too, shall Hit."
Two of three playing this hand... This would be interesting.

With an inward wave of his left hand, Gambler collected each of the chips that Megami had generated with her bet, all 120 of them. The coins then rose into the air and upon their own accord, took off in random directions. On the inside, Gambler thought about the hands played, specifically Megami's. Had he actually been playing and not the dealer he would've at least let it play out. But since he's on this side of the 'table'... Alright then, it's down to you two!And up came 2 more cards. Megami - Queen of Clubs, 6 of Diamonds. [10 and 6 for 16] (Surrendered) Merrill - Ace of Hearts 3 of Hearts, Queen of Hearts [3,10, 1 for 14] Rosario - 9 of Clubs 5 of Hearts, 2 of Spades [5, 2, 9 for 16] Gambler - 10 of Diamonds [10] In addition to your normal turn, you must use one of the following.

Merrill again stared at his cards, this time with the third card. That put him in a tight sport, for certain: Do nothing and he had a very high chance to get beat, But Draw too high of a card and go over... He sighed. But Then he had an idea. It was a long shot, and by no means without some serious risk. But if they could start out with guns blazing and a good win, That would help boost morale, and hopefully allow the others a shot at winning too.
Risk early? Or wait? Merrill reached out and touched one of his chips. Seeing Megami surrender made him question how well she would fair. But Rosario seemed to know what he was doing. He did realize that they did have a small advantage, even if no one else did yet.
"Screw it."
Merrill slammed his hand down, hard.
"DOUBLE DOWN."
He spoke with confidence. Play To get the upper hand. If they could get at least one or two early wins, to make sure they had some chips to play with down the line, that would be in the groups best interest. If his plan did fail, Merrill would be putting himself in a tight spot and way behind. Who knows, Maybe things would work in his favor? Maybe it would Help Rosario?

"How brave!"
"How insane!"
Their opinions differed in their minds, but still, they had to admit that Merrill made a gutsy, confident move. The violet haired boy stared with high hopes, for the NetNavi's sake, that Merrill could pull off such a gamble while Megami felt confident that he could. The Goddess had felt a powerful tension that made her question Merrill's actions. Was he arrogant or confident? A lesson that she had to learn herself when it came to her belief in just what she could do. She had limitations on her caused by her worrying nature about how she could make Xenneth feel if she made the wrong choice.
"Perhaps his Net Operator believes in what he is doing?"
That was Megami's best guest as she stared at the NetNavi who was doubling down on his own vitality as if he had nothing to lose. It made her stroke her right thumb into her palm, questioning if she was being a fool just clinging so hazardly on to her life. Her lip pressed, quivered, and then it folded with her cautious logic that went out the window. It was decided!
Next hand was theirs! Her and Xenneth both!

Hm, seems my luck is dry right now. A 16 with three, talk about a bad hand. Standing here would guarantee me no safety if Gambler were to total above 17. The Gambler does have a 10 to start, so the chances will be likely. Well, either way, wether by busting or by the Gambler, it looks like this bet is gone, so I'll fight through the rest of this hand.
"Hit please."Looking over Rosario saw Merrill as he lead our charge full steam ahead. He must be trying to boost our morale higher for this battle. An effective strategy indeed, but one thing bugs me, what exactly is our objective here? Suddenly entering a vault of gambling, playing Blackjack with a high-roller, and betting our own life essences to stay in the game. Could something more be going on?|Defense Phase|

Two more cards were presented by the dealer. Gambler swept away Merrill's portion of his coins, as he announced his total hand score.
That's 22, thanks for playing!
Merrill's cards dissolved into motes of the suits of his hands. They hummed briefly before converging in on him. He gestured toward Rosario, as it was still his turn.
Megami - Queen of Clubs, 6 of Diamonds. [10 and 6 for 16] (Surrendered)
Merrill - Ace of Hearts 3 of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, 8 of Spades. [3, 10, 1, 8 for 22] (Bust)

Hm.. this is a tight rope to walk. The dealer can steal easily beat out my hand with his, but it would be stupid to continue with this hand. It's good enough, and I'll have to take what I can for now and study more into the game.

Well, his gamble did not pay off in the slightest. Losing that much energy early on hurt and set him back. He sighed, and placed his head in his hands at first. But he then realized that there was still hope in the hand as Rosario still was in. He gave the navi a nod. They needed to take away something more from this than just lost energy. Merrill waited, crossing his arms and studying both Gambler and Rosario intently.

Alright then! I'll take by draw! Remember, I must draw until my hand is 17 or greater.
Gambler's card appeared. He shrugged as the Queen of Clubs revealed itself, giving his hand a sum of twenty, just enough to match Rosario. Without his command, the coins that represented Rosario's dissolved away into a cloud of golden powder that drifted into his general space and vanished, restoring what was wagered.
Unfortunately for Merrill, his cards erupted in silver energy, searing him and the very air around him in a contained burst.
That's the power of luck!
A swipe of his hands and there were no obstructions between them, and once again, it was time to place bets.

"His cards exploded!"
It was a good thing they surrendered.
Just by watching, Megami finally understood what was being betted and just how dangerous this gmae was. Apparently, this was not an ordinary game of Blackjack. Based on the descriptions she had read about in her book, the loss meant an agonizing loss of wealth and a type of mental ruin that stressed the topic of money. Never did the cards explode and threaten to incinerate a NetNavi! After seeing this, the female NetNavi now had an idea of how to go about this game.
...carefully.
"Allow me to pllay another hand, please?" A question that might of as well been retorical with how Megami placed her hands upon the table once more. Her palms produced her own life force as she attempted to convey her wager. "Seven-Hundred." she said.
All the while, she had a confident smile that went from cheek to cheek. The female NetNavi knew nothing about having a Poker Face, but she was starting to learn.

The cards exploded right in front of him, and he had just enough time to raise his hands to cover his face. the energy went over his body once, leaving a small mark on the side of his face. The few marks on his body vanished, leaving no trace.
"My bad. That didn't work."
Lowering his hands, Merrill noted that Megami had bet again, and that Rosario had tied. He was the only one to lose. Well, while the hand had been lost, it served a purpose to at least explain what happens when you bust. He noted, as well as Megami, that that was an unpleasant experience. Time to play another hand. He wasn't going to get pushed away so easily. This was not just a game, and Merrill knew that. But the powers here had plenty going on, and he wanted to know what. He was here to win, as per the next step.

Rosario let out a sigh. So that hand ended well. I hope Merrill is alright, though. The cards exploding were definitely something I did not account for. Nonetheless, I will continue to play this game. If anything else is fishy, I will find an opening, and try to alert Merrill and Megami as soon as possible.
