Who: Gil and OPEN
Broadcast: Network-wide
Action: On the Blameless for in-person interaction
When: Nowish

[When Gil appears on the network he has a deck of cards that he's shuffling as he speaks. The way he handles them shows that he's very comfortable with them, the movement of his hand almost fluid.]

You know what's a great game? Poker. Poker is a fantastic game, and a good way to get to know someone.

What do you fine people say to a regular game meetup? If we could get a group together, it could be a lot of fun.

'Course we'll have to hammer out the rules, even in the Milky Way not every planet or every casino on the same planet play by the same rules. We'd also have to find a place to meet to play, but I think that will be the easy part. Plenty of tables and chairs around.

Yeah? The other bar offered space too. We could alternate to give them both business?

[That was hardly surprising with Crowly.] Think that will work, 'specially if held on certain days, some can make it one day, others the other. [Remy would hate to miss out on it because he was working, even if he was sure he could sneak a hand in between orders now and then.] All depend what the 'nterest is like for it.

That's a good point. We'll see who all wants to join and go from there?

Not a bad idea, really, 'nd hell, can change up what type we playin' dependin' on the numbers. Set someone up as the dealer 'nd go Hold'em. Prefer Five card m'self, but takin' a guess may have a few variations considerin' the whole universe 'nd time differences we got goin' on here.

Oh, I hope there are different rules I've never heard of. Could use a challenge.

Very true, though depends on what ya playin' for. [Hell, Remy had lost all his items since he had vanished from the Fleet, it wouldn't be bad to pick up some more credits to start replacing stuff, not that he wouldn't take the chance to lighten some pockets once they were plantside again. Though he felt he was more than skilled enough with the 'normal' types of poker he knew that picking up another game wouldn't be a bad thing.] Though if we start mixin' other game elements in 'nd needin' dice or chess pieces or something, not sure we can still call it poker.

Isn't there a rule about not betting what you can't afford to lose? [He asks it in a tone that implies he's not very good at following that rule - but then he rarely loses so he hasn't had to really worry about it before.]

That all 'ssumin' ya losin' something of ya's. [Eh, Remy was mostly over covering up the fact he was a thief to others on the Fleet. Sure, some may not take well to it, but what did it matter? Secrets didn't hold much power here, not when everything was being shown off via reality tv and at any time their sponsors or hosts could drop the ball on what was really happening via strange gifts or weird happenings.]

Though it does take 'way some of the risk when ya doin' that, 'nd where's the fun in that?

The fun of watching other people lose it all instead? [His voice is very light, making it hard to tell if he's just joking or if he actually does enjoy that kind of thing]

Ahh, only those who deserve to lose, [There was no fun in seeing someone suffering from loss, someone who couldn't really afford to lose or had an issue with gambling. But there were others who needed to be taken down a peg or too.] 'nd hopefully don't have 'ny like that 'round here 'nd we can keep it all fun. Don't want to go killin' the mood with people who take it all too seriously.

[He really can't help but smile at that. It's nice to talk to decent people who want to make sure people don't lose things they can't afford.]

That's the whole point. A friendly game.

[A sly smile that widened to a wide grin pulled at Remy's face, a chuckle joining it before it ended in a sigh.] We'll see if things stay friendly after a few hands have been played, hein? Never count that out too soon, 'specially after a few drinks too.

Let me know when ya get others set up, sure I can pull some credits together to join in the fun.

Will do. It will be good to play against someone who can give me a challenge.
