01: Jeri. 7500 Yen. Wearing: Skirt, socks, bra and panties.
02: Rika. 5600 Yen. Wearing: Shirt, jeans, bra and panties.
A few pointless hands later, Jeri had the Ace of Spades and Ten of Clubs, whereas Rika had the King of Hearts and Queen of Spades. (Jeri: 7400) (Rika: 5400) (Pot: 300)
"500," Rika said. (Rika: 5100) (Pot: 600)
"Call," Jeri replied with a grin. (Jeri: 7000) (1000)
The brunette turned over the Ace of Diamonds, Jack of Hearts and Seven of Diamonds, giving her everything she needed to win, and giving the red-head almost everything.
"500," Rika smirked, hoping that the right card came along. (Rika: 4600) (Pot: 1500)
"Call," (Jeri: 6500) (Pot: 2000)
This time, Jeri turned over the Ten of Hearts, much to Rika's elation.
"1000," Rika grinned, almost inhumanly, both the gesture and her sudden bet serving to deter Jeri from calling. (Rika: 3600) (Pot: 3000)
Despite what her common sense was telling her, she called the bet. (Jeri: 5500) (Pot: 4000)
For the final time in that hand, she placed a card, the Ace of Clubs.
Both checked, and revealed their hands. Rika grimaced when she saw Jeri's Full House. With no way out, she removed her shirt, exposing her deep-red bra, and perky C-cups.
"I'll say 'hot', but that would just be ironic," Ryo grinned, earning an annoyed glare from Rika.
...
...
...
Several hands later, the game was over, concluding, to no-one's surprise, in Rika's victory.
"This was fun," Jeri smiled to the others. "Maybe we can do this again, sometime?" Before they could reply, Calumon floated into the room, merrily humming a tune. Then, for some reason, he gave an uncharacteristically serious scowl, clapped his paws together, and pressed them to the floor.
He seemed confused when the gesture seemingly didn't yield the intended result, or even any result at all, though Calumon shrugged it off, before flying up to a spot in the air, somehow pulling a soundly asleep Suzie and Lopmon from it, before flying off with them.
How Calumon could hold both of them, Rika had no idea.
Henry was the first to speak. "Did... Did that seriously just happen?" He whispered, shaken to his core by what he had just witnessed.
Rika was at a loss as to how to explain it. "Yeah..."
"Meh, we've seen weirder..." Takato shrugged.
Yes, I know I said that the running gag of Suzie showing up inexplicably was gone.
However, there's a simple for how it came back; I lied. Or, more bluntly; I'm full of what amounts to ratshit in a pit. Got it?!
