Everyone didn't bother asking Finitevus to play because he was either A. To Busy, B. Hates us or C. Too creepy. But of course I not like everyone else.
"He Finitevus!" I called and everyone gave me a look. Finitevus stopped walking to where ever he was heading and turned to us. I smiled and asked "You want to play a round of Mobius Fold? Or are you too Chicken and afraid to get beat by all of us?" Finitevus looked the group over and then turned back to me.
"Alright." He said and everyone's eyes widen and I felt weird. I really thought he would just walk off and then I could shrug and play with everyone but no, looks like my Full House idea came true. Because Lightning and Flying unfolded a part of the table and it was made a little larger and Finitevus came over and sat in the empty chair that was next to me. Again all eyes were on me except Finitevus.
I gingerly passed out the cards and gave some chips to the new players including myself. "Okay, we are going to keep this game going until the final two face off and we crown a winner." I said and placed the first cards out for everyone to see. There was a silence in the room until I passed and Finitevus threw a blue chip in and we all fallowed with Scourge raising it by two more blue chips. While everyone went off and thought of strategies, I did my own and looked around at everyone's faces.
Fiona looked pissed so she had a bad hand, Scourge looked smug…too smug. Could be a bluff. Flying looked confused so he might fold. Simian had a faint smirk so he had a good hand. Predator had a worried face so he was most likely to fold in the next turn, Lightning looked happy so good hand and Finitevus had no expression at all witch made me mad, and people will now think I have a bad hand. Which was good so I settled down and focused back on the game.
In the end Fiona got knocked out first. We were playing my vision where the loser gets knocked out and we continue to the last two. The Scourge fallowed his girlfriend, Flying and then Simian. Then when we played with just four left, Lightning took the loser spot and as he handed in his chips to be divided by the winners, I smirked because it was getting harder now. We played and all of us, being Me, Predator and Finitevus, played a well fought game. Bye bye Predator. He had played a bluff and it was a little hard to tell but…okay I didn't know he was bluffing.
Now it was just me and Finitevus. It was a little awkward for me, One. I am going up against my favorite sonic character in a game of poker. I mean, who many people get to do that? And Two, I went through his stuff an saw that locket…THAT I STILL HAD! I gulped and felt the side of my pocket and felt the bumps of the chain and heart. I am so screwed if he finds out. I shook my head and got up from my seat and sat across from Finitevus who still had no expression…he reminds me of Shadow right now.
I passed out the cards and got right into the game. If I lose it will be the first in a long time. We started the game and it was long and quiet. Everyone went off to do something but we didn't care. This was a game that I had never played before. I mean I never felt so calm and…and I felt something else…something that I hadn't felt in a long time. I put the thought away and just when I was about to pass, my Aura whatever acted up and I got a vision through my head. It was blurry so I closed my eyes and made it look like I was just planning out a straggly. But I was using Aura spread.
I focused it only in this room and then around me and Finitevus…there! There was a disturbance in the Aura field and it turned out to be a warp ring opining up and Finitevus reached into it and pulled something out. I couldn't tell because it wasn't alive but I had a pretty accurate guess on what it was. Maybe…an Ace? I opened my eyes and threw a chip in. two can play that game. While Finitevus threw in a chip I pulled out a king from who knows where but I got it out of m warp ring.
Soon me and Finitevus where trading cards here and there. Basically cheating but I was only doing it because he was. I could tell when he opened a warp ring, but he didn't notice when I opened mine. When it was time to see who one we both placed our cards on the table at the same time and what do you know…both a Flush!
"Well…" I said not knowing who won. Finitevus looked confused and shocked and inside I was smiling and laughing, but on the outside, I looked confused and determined to win. I looked around the room and spotted Predator and called "Yo Predator! We need you over here for a sec!" That got the others attention and everyone gathered around and then predator looked at both the cards and then said "Looks like two situations happen here. One, this just happened to be a one in a million coincidence, or someone cheated."
Finitevus and I had a stared down to see who would break first and admit they cheated. He had a huge advantage because it was awkward for me to even talk to him, now we have played a game of poker and are staring each other down. But it looked like he didn't enjoy this stare down either. I tapped my finger on the table and held my head with my free hand. He just sat there and slowly everyone started to feel awkward and slipped away, still watching us.
"Want to try again Finitevus?" I asked and then added in a whisper "Without warp rings?" he narrowed his eyes and smirked and then asked back "Yours or mine?" so he knew? I wonder how he knew. Oh well. I shuffled the cards and then started another game that ended with him bluffing and me falling for it…and me smacking my head against the table in defeat. When I did that Finitevus chuckled a little too loudly and Scourge leaned against a wall with Fiona and they started to gossip about who knows what. Stripper and Green Bean…perfect match in my eyes.
Finitevus stood up and then said "I enjoyed the game Celty. We will have to play it again some time, but I must get back to work." Then I watched him walk away and I cleaned up the mess and left the game on the table and as I past Lightning I said "Got farther than you so yah, I did do better." He muttered something but I ignored him and headed upstairs and into my room only to find it still in ruins. I sighed and then closed my door and slid down to the floor out in the floor. I had this coming for "Kicking" Scourge and then Aura Blasting him. And god knows that the last place I want to be right now is Finitevus room…and I still have the damn locket…
