Mel approached a table and took a seat, wary of the attendant nearby the dealer. She set her bag of coins down right beside and blinked a bit before regarding the dealer again. "Uhm.." she started to say, then had to clear her voice so she could speak a bit more clearly. She was...nervous, clearly. "Deal me in?"

That was how they said it right? At these card game tables...

[ Game 1/3 ]

The dealer dealt out her two cards and she looked down at them, frowning. The goal was 21, right? She seemed awfully close...was it worth a shot to hit the deck? She wasn't entirely sure...so she looked up at the dealer, then back down at her cards. Then up again, then back at her cards. She repeated the motion several time, in the end chewing on her lip as she came to a decision.

She drew and sighed, dropping her hand and a coin on the table for the dealer to collect. She kind of sucked at gambling, apparently. She hoped this wouldn't set her back too much...

[ Game 2/3 ]

She stayed at the table long enough for the dealer to deal her in again, and Mel looked at the cards warily. She'd already lost five of her coins, setting her back a decent number...was it worth risking the same number once more? She wasn't sure...but she needed more coins, so it was worth a shot. The prize was double that, so maybe...

When she finally picked up her hand she was relieved to see that it was a bit safer of a number than what she got earlier. The decision to draw again was a bit easier this time.

She hit and drew a 6, which caused her to smile to widen and a bit of the anxiety to ebb away. That was a win, right? She dropped her hand and the dealer allotted the coins accordingly, and she gathered them up and dropped them in her bag. She sat there and thought about playing another game.. maybe it would back her another win, right?

Blue eyes narrowed at the dealer, who was still busy arranging the cards.

[ Game 3/3 ]

"One more game," she said slowly to the dealer, who acquiesced immediately and dealt her two more cards. Upon looking at her new hand she sort of just sank back into her chair. It was high, almost as high as her first hand...she did some quick math to calculate her odds at drawing a 6 or lower and sighed.

Math was never her strong suit, and she certainly didn't find any comfort in it now.

"Uhm..."

A 7.

Really?!

She was back to where she started. Great.

Mel dropped her hand and coins to pay the penalty for her bust, then left the table. No sense in losing more coins. Apparently she really did just suck at gambling. Next time hopefully she'd know when to hit and when not to hit...but for now, she would move on. There were other games to be played, right?
