"Damn..." Vincent said.


"How did she play us like this?..." Ares added.


After a couple hands of poker I had already won almost all of the chips though I think I just had uncanny luck this particular game than legitimate poker skills.


"Well you win some you lose some I guess." I said looking at my hand which consisted of the ace of spades and the ace of diamonds. "Your move Ares."


"I know, I know.... Fuck it all in."


"All in then." Vincent replied.


"Guess everything is on this hand, all in." I said.


"Show em', pair of kings." Ares said with a smile.


"Well I'm out then, two jacks." Vincent said leaning back in his chair.

"Aight, I'm a black bear type. As you experienced first hand I'm pretty much a walking bulldozer and it takes a lot to take me down when I get really into things. Alright now you." Ares finished.


"Well I'm Artemis and I'm a cat type I think it doesn't say exactly what I am an-" I said


"Wait, wait, wait. Your saying you don't know what type you are?" Ares questioned.


"Yeah here I'll show you." I said pulling out my card and opening up my info.
