The House always wins (Private)

The festival of rebirth was in full swing here in the Moon village, with the entire village enjoying all of the activities and festivities it had to offer. Colorful streamers, banners and lanterns littered the entire jungle village, hanging from trees, buildings and cords that dangled them over the village square. It was a wonderful time of the year for those who called this place home, a time to come together and celebrate such an important time of year. The sun had already set on Gekkousato, with both moon and sun shinobi enjoying the night life the village had to offer. While there were plenty of things to do, such as restaurants, bars and dance halls, the village had just recently received a new attraction in the form of blinsky's gambling hall. Blinsky's was a well known set of betting halls and casinos through out the world, but had never been established in the shinobi villages, until know. This excited many people as it was a world renown brand, and the moon village people loved their gambling.

None as much, however, as Seraphina, the Moon kage. She was a rare sight to see, often locked up in her office doing the work of the nation. In fact, many of the villages thought of her as a cold, stoic person who never really got out to enjoy life, she was seen as a dud. But that was the furthest thing from the truth, as she was in fact a very lively and out going person. The unfortunate part was that her job took up all of her free time, and the pale slender woman never really had time to enjoy the little things in life anymore. Tonight was going to be different though, as the itch to play cards had been creeping in. After a long day of paperwork, Seraphina decided to take the evening off, and made her way to Blinsky's. She removed her traditional leader outfit, donned an elegant evening gown and stacked her coin purse full of Ryo.

It was much easier to pass through the crowds of the village than she thought it would be. Since it was a rare thing to see the woman out in public, many people simply glanced pass her, the thought of it really being their Gekkoukage did not even sit in their mind. Her tall, thin form pushed through the crowd, her long white hair tied together, flowing down the flat of her back. She wore a very light, violet colored dress, and did not look like the normal cold leader people knew her as. She managed to get to the gambling hall with ease, and saw that it was indeed packed to the brim, like she had expected it to be. Sliding her way through crowds of patrons, Seraphina found a dark corner that held a cards table, one that currently had no other gamblers at it. She took a sit on the red velvet stool, lifted her pouch up and noticed that the tables game was a very old card game, The Ninjas Gambit. It was a hard but fun game, and one she was ready to enjoy.
