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.

[Kitty is passing on the alcohol tonight. She feels like she might still be a little hung over from her New Year's Day meltdown. But she's still here to enjoy herself. She and her friends used to play poker in her last interdimensional prison and that was fun. She's surprised it took her this long to think of it. And she wanted to get to know Billy better. There aren't many mutants left in the fleet and when she was in the prison it was almost never unless she counted her other self and it's very hard to bond with another version of yourself. Of course she probably should have prepped Kurt not to be...himself? Oh well, it'll work itself out. Probably.

Welcome to mutant bonding times, Billy! Hope you survive the experience!

Of course, she won't spend her entire night at the table. Sometimes you have to get up and stretch your legs. Maybe talk to the staff and other customers. Or at least she wouldn't be hard to catch away from the game or in a quiet moment at the table either.

She's dressed very casually in jeans and a t-shirt and don't be surprised if she decides to sit on that table, back of the chair, or bar top. She doesn't use doors and sometimes she doesn't use chairs!]

[Kurt has procured a bar stool to perch on that isn't terribly higher than the other player's chairs, because unlike some people he doesn't cheat at cards. He seems a little more relaxed than he did this time last month, although that might be due to the beer his tail spends half its time curled around. The company doesn't hurt.

When he's not crouched at the table, Kurt can be found at the bar fetching more drinks for the table, or a non-alcoholic one when he forgets that Billy isn't old enough for booze and has to make another run. He still seems relaxed, though he always looks toward the door when it opens or closes. Most people will be greeted with a half-smile that softens as the night and booze go on.]

Remy LeBeau | OTA

[Poker night? Of course he’s drinking, and maybe a casual smoke or two. It had taken a lot of effort (even if it was brought on by a shortage of cigarettes) to stop smoking that Remy didn’t want to get fully hooked again, but he wasn’t going to turn down the chance considering his beloved trench coat was returned to him full of it’s normal goodies, including said smokes. He was also spending most the night drinking something equivalent to whiskey, having stolen a bottle of it from behind the bar to slowly work his way through. It took a bit to get him drunk now days, thanks to his powers no longer being limited, but he was certainly going to try.

Most the night he could be found at whatever table the mutants are using for cards, maybe moping a little that he is not allowed to deal or have any extra decks to keep his hands busy between rounds, settling for playing with a coaster instead most the time. If not, he is doing drink runs as much as Kurt is, though normally going behind the bar to pour them himself, despite being off duty from the place.]

Vash the Stampede | OTA

[Vash promises that he's not stalking half of his crew. He's here to work like a good employee.

He spends most of the time back in the kitchen doing his job as the place's chef. Although he pops out if things get too busy at the bar to help make drinks. He'll even bring any food that was ordered over to the table so the game doesn't have to stop too much.

Okay, and he might linger to watch a hand or two when there's nothing to do in the kitchen. Poker is like a little reminder of home for him.

Feel free to boss him around, have a chat, give him a food/drink order, or tell him to get out of the way.] How can I help you?
