Round 2: The Triad Player With A Mouth

[iknowtheconsequences]

Open: Allows opponent to see the cards being used.
Kaji's hand: Iron Giant, GIM47N, Tonberry King, Abadon, Trauma.
(Please reply with random number to determine order, and your character's hand.)

Same: When a card is placed touching two or more other cards (one or both of them have to be the opposite color), and the touching sides of each card is the same (8 touching 8 for example), then the other two cards are flipped. Combo rule applies.

Plus: Similar to the Same rule. When one card is placed touching two others and the ranks touching the cards plus the opposing rank equal the same sum, then both cards are captured. Combo rule applies.

Combo: Of the cards captured by the Same, Same Wall or Plus rule, if they are adjacent to another card whose rank is lower, it is captured as well. This is not a separate rule; any time Same or Plus is in effect, Combo is in effect as well.

Odd as well! You first!

"You're not going to go easy on me, are you? I left all my toys at home." Deadpool said, approaching his chair and swinging his leg around it to sit down. "And these sorts of events also usually mean we're gonna be ambushed."

What's Deadpool's Hand?

[iknowtheconsequences]

Kaji chuckles at the idea of going easy on anyone. "Of course not. Would hardly be any fun if I did." Especially not after Shinji's very long pep talk about 'stomping that jerk who cheated in the Moogle election.' He's got to win this one for the fluff-ball.

Kaji opens with the same move he did in his last match: The Tonberry King card in the Top Left corner.

Oops, sorry, shouldn't of tagged that at work :P

[unalive_them]

It took a moment for Deadpool to make sure everything was set up, laying out his hand: Gesper, Ochu, Tonberry, Wendigo, Elastoid.

"Good, because the last time I tried this, it was quite messy!" he said before setting up the Wendigo card at the bottom right.

Not a problem at all

[iknowtheconsequences]

That actually gives Kaji pause. "How did you make a mess playing a card game? Or, do you mean, the last time we did a big public event like this?" His opponent is just as paranoid as he is. Good.

Kaji's response is to put down the Abaddon card in the Bottom Center. 8 versus 6, Kaji captures Wendigo.

[unalive_them]

"Uh, the last one. All these children's card games are all the same! At least it's not Serious Business!" Deadpool replied before noticing what Kaji did, letting out a shocked screech.

"You took my monster!" He glared at him before putting Elastoid in the Center Right.

[iknowtheconsequences]

Kaji ponders that for a moment, before nodding. "Fair point. I did have to keep you all from making too big of a mess of the Observatory last month."

Kaji keeps up the aggressive pacing of the match. "And I think I'm going to take this one, too." The Trauma card goes in the center space, 8 against 7, Kaji also captures the Elastoid.

[unalive_them]

"Oh, it wasn't that bad - I mean, we didn't suddenly sink into the depths of despair and all! Or was that the month before? Oh, who does it matter, it happens all the time!" Deadpool said... before noticing another monster being taken.

"Augh, no!" He slumped down, head in hands. "I'm losing! Me!" With a grunt, he put the Tonberry on the upper center spot.

[iknowtheconsequences]

Kaji tilts his head to the side as he looks at the cards. "Darn, nothing that can take that one. I kind of like the little guys, spooky as they are. They're here, they're real. I know someone had to have captured one for the Monster Arena if you want to see."

Eeney meeney miney, Kaji selects the GIM47N card to go in the Top Right corner.

[unalive_them]

"Ah-ha! A chance to counterattack!" Deadpool declared. looking at what was left. Tonberry King at top left, Wendigo at bottom right, Abaddon at bottom center, Elastoid at center right, Trauma at center, Tonberry at upper center, and GIM47N at Top Right. That just left center left and bottom left. Deadpool pondered and pondered... and noticed his counterattack.

"Ah-ha!" And he placed his Ochu beside the Abadon. "6 greater than 5, it's mine!"

At least he hopes so!

[iknowtheconsequences]

Correct, the Ochu takes Kaji's Abaddon, but if anything, it makes Kaji smile more. He puts down his final card, The Iron Giant card in the Middle Left space, its 6 takes the Ochu right back, ending the game.

Final score is 7 to 2, Kaji.

There is an excited burst of cheering from the audience behind him. "Ku-kupo! Go, Kaji!" A moogle with a Scholar mortarboard hat handing off one ear is whistling and cheering as if he just saw the final of a blitzball game.

Kaji laughs and shakes his head at Shinji. He offers a hand to Deadpool. "Good game, thanks."

[unalive_them]

"Aaaugh, no! This wasn't supposed to be! I'm a main character! We're supposed to win!" Deadpool griped before he dropped his head onto the table and extended his hand to take Kaji's and shake it. "Just tell your Moogle to calm down or he'll be learning to fly out of that cannon!"

[iknowtheconsequences]

"Shinji can be a little...easily excitable." Which is a strange sentence for Kaji to be saying, all things considered.

Kaji picks his last card back up, the Iron Giant, and looks at it carefully. "Where do they get the ideas for these things? I know some of them are real. But I wouldn't want to come across one of these." Giant metal man with a sword as big as a building? It'd be like trying to fight an Eva on foot.

[unalive_them]

"Heck if I know!" Deadpool said, lifting head head up once more. "A video game? But, who'd make a game out of this?" Oh, he resisted the urge to chuckle. HE KNEW.
