{Poker Face}

**Keep in mind that I do not play poker, so I won't be too educated on the game. My family members play sometimes but not me or my dad, so yee. Just letting you know.**

Karl's POV~

"Quackity, come on! You know I don't know anything about Casino games!", but he didn't listen and dragged me in anyway,"Aw, come on it will be fun!", I groan. . . He's up to something. . .

Inside, it was nice, although there were a lot of Casino things and. . . Well. . . Alcohol. . .
I noticed Jschlatt, Charlie, Fundy and. . . Foolish? I walk over to him,"Foolish?", he groaned and nods,"Yeah, I'm here. I was forced to be here.", I frown,"By who?", "Quackity.", I nod,"Same. So you just standing till you can leave?", Foolish shook his head,"No, not till someone beats Quackity in a game of poker.", "Hey, Karl, nice watch!", I froze. . .
What.
I immediately turn to see Charlie holding it then throwing it on the gambling table,"Wait, no! That's mine!", Jschlatt picked it up and dangled it,"Hm. . . This would be worth a pretty penny. Although, you do seem to care about it.", I nod anxiously, Quackity then smiled,"How about this; If you can beat me in a game of poker, you can have the watch back and the money I bet.", I stared at him,"I-What. . .?! I don't know to play!", Jschlatt rested a hand on my shoulder,"Don't worry, Poker is an easy game to play, I'll give you a rule book if you'd like.", I groan as he handed one to him. . .

I sat on the bathroom floor and was ready to just die, it all looked so complicated to me!
I leaned back and just felt like crying. . .

"Karl?"

I look up and saw James appeared,"Oh, hey. . .", "Why the sad face, friend.", I sat up more and showed him to book,"Charlie threw my watch on the table, now I have to play poker against my husband if I want it back.", James looked shocked,"The watch? But, Quackity is your husband, he should have just given it back.", I nod,"I know! But he makes a game out of anything. . . And I'll have no chance at getting it back. . . I've never played. . .", James then smiled,"I have! I use to play Poker all the time, on Saturdays at the Old Casino back home.", I look up,"You did? Can you teach me?", James looked nervous,"I don't know if I could teach you in that short time.", I groan,"I'm gonna lose my watch. . .! And then the worst could happen if it works for anyone. . .!", James then titled my face to meet his eyes,"Karl there is a way I could win the game, but I'd have to control your body.", I was in shock,"Ghosts or spirits do that??", he nods,"Yes, we just never told you incase you got scared. . .", I nod,"So, can I control you? Just to win that game?", I sighed,"You. . . Have my permission.", James nods. . .

"Goodnight, Karl."

That's the last thing I heard before falling into darkness. . .

James's POV~

I woke up again, this time. . . Feeling different.
I then remembered, I looked at myself and realised. . . I was controlling Karl.
I then realised how tired his body was or how sore he was. . .
I slowly stood up and opened the book Jschlatt handed him. . .

Guess they made it easy enough, the game is easy it depends on chance and finding out if someone is bluffing, let's just hope I can not only fool them and win back his watch, cause only the Lord would know what Quackity would do. . .

I came back out and saw Quackity playing with the watch, I take a deep breath and walk over, feeling pain. . . I might need to have someone check his injuries. . .
I sat down with the book, Quackity smiled,"Good Luck.", he put the money in the middle and Karl's watch. . .
Jschlatt then took out a fresh deck of cards and we were given our chips for the game. . .
"Alright. 1 round, you have 1 round to win your watch Karl."
I nod, I left the book open on how much chips were to not make it too obvious. . .

Jschlatt then started to shuffle the cards, I noticed the way he shuffled them, it was weird. . . He'd flip them, shuffle and then snap his fingers. . .
He then gave out the first 3 cards, I checked them and I made sure to not show any emotion. . .
The cards I got were decent start, I could Quackity looking uncertain and trying to read my face, eyes or my body language, but I kept a straight face.
"Alright.", then Jschlatt put three face up cards on both of our sides. . .
Charlie and Foolish were watching, but I didn't mind it though. . .
Jschlatt then gave out faced down cards again, I checked them I was taken it back but kept my face straight. . .

I have a Full House!

I looked at the chips we bet, obviously he was bluffing about his cards, he had high bets but I kept my act up as best as I could. . .
Soon, it was time to show our cards, and Quackity showed off his and I was right! He didn't have anything!
I smiled and showed mine,"Full House, as it's called in the book.", Quackity was in shock, Foolish was even impressed and Charlie was in awe as he saw the cards,"Ooooh~~!!", "Woah, Karl! Not bad for a first game!", I then reached for the watch,"Does this mean I win, and I can have my watch back? My dear, fiancee?", Quackity growled but Jschlatt nods,"Yep. Both the watch and money is yours for the keeping, Karl.", I smiled. . .

So, after I got his watch back, I put the money in Karl's bag and the watch inside as well. . .
Guess, I still got it in me. . .

Jschlatt's POV~

I watch as Quackity threw the cards in anger,"DAMN IT!!! I WAS SO CLOSE!!!", no, you weren't. You have terrible cards. Although. . .

"Karl!", I went after him, luckily I caught up,"Oh, Jschlatt Hi. What's up?", I smiled and held my hand out,"You did great for your frist game.", he smiled and shook my hand,"Thanks Jschlatt.", I then smirked. . .

"Although, I'm not sure possessing Karl's body is against the rules, Sir."

His eyes widened,"What?!", I chuckled,"I-. . . You knew!? And didn't say anything??!", I nod,"Yes. I'm also a ghost, Sir. I could see it wasn't Karl. I must say, you did well.", he smiled,"Thank you again, you won't day a word, correct?", I shook my head,"Nah.", I then turned to leave,"Hey, wait!", I turn back,"Why were shuffling the cards like that?", I smirked,"Don't worry about it, Sir.", he frowns as I walk back inside. . .

"Sam, you know how to move the cards in a deck right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Can you teach me a few tricks?"

"Sure! ^ ^"

Ran's POV~

After James let Karl have controlled, Karl was asleep as it was a side effect from possessing a human, so James immediately lay him down on the bed. . .
We put the bag under the bed and I began to check the injuries on Karl. . .
It was weird, some were from his adventures and some looked like from. . .
