Lucan lifts his fingers in a gesture of copasthetic agreement.  "Pocket them if you wish.  Or... add them to your stack.  The choice is yours."  He tosses out the next series of cards in an articulate spiralling flip... the cards whirling in complete rotations vertically and end-over end before landing, face up, next to each player's hand.<br/><br/>Faintly smiling, Lucan takes a moment to review each hand as it is shown...<br/><br/>CHAIR 1: Sally..........XX Qs Kc 4h<br/><br/>"Aw, drat... that blew your possible straight... No straights for you, darling."  There's a mischievous lilt in 'straights...'<br/><br/>CHAIR 2: Andi............XX 9d W! 2d<br/><br/>"Wild cards turn the tide, do they not..?  Andi, you're showing us a possible flush... is she holding all the diamonds..?"<br/><br/>CHAIR 3: Cynthia.......XX 4d 3s 8h<br/><br/>"Again, the straight doesn't favor you, Cnythia... but beware, children, she might have three of a kind."<br/><br/>CHAIR 4: Jim..............XX 4c Jd w!<br/><br/>Jim's Wild card lands on its long edge, flopping down gently to a face-up position after the briefest of perfectly-balanced pauses... sloppy dealing, or genius?  It depicts a rose spiral that blossoms and wilts at the same time, and the caption reads, "Name YOUR FIRST lover, and you may choose a new seat.  Describe your first LOVER'S CHARMS, and receive your ante in bonus."<br/><br/>Lucan quirks a brow at that, once the cards have all fallen, but he leaves it to others to comment.<br/><br/>"That could come in handy..."<br/><br/>DEALER: Lucan...........XX 5d 7c Ks<br/><br/>The suicide king of Spades has a cigarette dangling from his lips, a pistol to one temple, and a lovely woman on one arm.  "Smoke if you got 'em..." Lucan jokes.  "But no help."
