Heart of the City by Steenz for September 28, 2022

Welp! Charlotte’s right on the “fast” part.

Apples to oranges, I bet those little twerps ratted themselves out to the teachers because Dean was too close to winning that card.

Dean resigns. game over, done. Pay up!

Just play it cool. You don’t have to tell them you’re gambling.

Reminds me of when me and my friends used to sell drugs*cough cough* did i say drugs? I meant pokemon cards. Right. Anyway then, we would trade pokemon cards with each other and then our parents would catch us and we would run away. Very nostalgic.

…and there you have it—the whole thing is taking place in their school.

Will the tournament be in the newspapers and/or on the news? Inquiring minds want to know.

So this is emulating an illegal cräps game, like in Guys and Dolls?

The game is afoot now, Watson.

The Black Lotus card will turn out to be a fake. Calling it now.

And the funny thing is, this is actually a pretty believable storyline. I remember Pokemon cards having to be banned from school because of gambling problems.
