Title: Keep Your Cool
Style: Onshot
Characters: Olivier, Roy, Riza, Miles and Jean
A dim light casted menacing shadows on the faces of the occupants of the small, dark room. Their eyes blackened, their mouthes caught in the light; two in a playful smirk, three pressed in thin lines of concentration.
Jean Havoc shuffled in his seat breaking the stiff silence, all eyes darted towards him. A bead of sweat rolled down the side of his cheek; a cigarette in his mouth burning away, forgotten. He sighed as they turned their attention to the small rectangular papers in their hands.
Roy pushed a heap of metal and paper to the centre of the table, a smile playing on his lips. Three leaned back surprised, then proceded to follow his lead. A soft yet intimidating chuckle enamated from a certain blonde, she put forward the rest of her heap, challenging Roy. The man gulped.
With reassurance, Roy set down his cards revealing a Four of a Kind hand. The rest threw their cards with losing grimaces. Olivier's light chuckles evolved to full blown laughter as she stood and pushed the large heap of coins and notes into a large tote bag, dropping her cards on the table revealing a Royal Straight Flush.
The look on Roy's face was priceless, and Olivier made sure to keep that image for as long as she lived.
Author's Note: Originally written for a contest on dA (supposed to have suspense... I put in comical suspense, hahaha, so yeah), thought I'd finally post it here, so here you go! They be playin' pokah, yo.
