Poker Night!

[ecclesiophobic]

Who: Four Merry Mutants (And you?)
Broadcast: Nah
Action: Space Bar!
When: Evening

Sometime in the evening, the Space Bar plays host to a very interesting poker game; Kitty, in her infinite wisdom, having chosen that activity to keep their hands busy while they joke, catch up, and possibly scar poor Billy’s mind (Kurt).

The poker game isn’t closed to the four of them, however; anyone who wanders over will be offered a seat and the chance to be dealt into the game. So come! Pull up a chair and be dealt in, or just wander over and socialize. Distract the players. Just don’t set anything on fire that isn’t made to be.

[Billy's pretty resilient, at least in general, so he'll probably live. Social situations - or parties, or whatever - aren't his strong suit, but the benefit here is that at least he's spoken with everyone already. With Kitty being the one he knows the most of the group, hopefully she'll forgive him if he lingers around her for a while at the start.

It's also been a long time since he played poker, so he spends a lot of time squinting down at his cards.]

Um... I think I'd better fold.

[She doesn't mind at all. She wants him to feel included and welcomed and probably best she do that before Kurt or Remy come on strong. She loves those boys, but they can be a handful.]

Live to fight another hand?

[selfhelp]

Tragically, there's nothing alive about what I've got here.

[He tosses them to the table, facedown. It's such a useless hand he doesn't even want to show it. He doesn't look all that disappointed in his loss, though- it's what he'd expected when he came into this.]

[passingthrough]

Just always blame the cajun and assume he's cheating in these situations. It helps save face.

[selfhelp]

Is he cheating? I can't tell.

[he wouldn't notice any rules being broken, that's for sure.]

[passingthrough]

I always just assume, but no, I can't tell either. Not yet. I have a bet going with Kurt about it though.

[selfhelp]

Hmmm. I'm not a fan of cheating... we could make it interesting, if you want. He's not the only one who can do weird things with cards.

[A little enchantment can go a long way.]

[passingthrough]

Vash mentioned helping me cheat too. I feel like I'm being a bad role model somehow. Although this is pretty low stakes. [It's just money. That's pretty meaningless to her.]

What kind of weird things are you talking?
