[There's a strange sound coming through the comm's speakers when Odette switches it on. It sounds like...she's shuffling cards, oddly enough.]

Would anyone like to play poker?

If you don't mind betting, I'd be most pleased.

I'm afraid I don't have anything to bet with.

I'm sure you must have something. Gambling is a good part of the fun of poker.

I'm afraid I don't.

[thenotmagician]

I'm in.

[aswanbyday]

Great. I'm in Sergei's.

[thenotmagician]

Be down there in a jiffy.

Might I play? I have never been very good, but, if we are not betting much, it is always fun!

[aswanbyday]

I'd love if you played.

With... a lady? Why, how absurd! A woman could hardly keep herself from cackling on about the contents of her hand, let alone mask their implications from her face!

After all, a gambler isn't made, but is born- and always as a man. It is part of what makes us what we are. Is there anything more masculine than a number of men sitting together, swilling rye and throwing money away? Other than Papercraft, of course.

Now if you'll excuse me, this mâché Michelangelo's David will hardly finish it's own bottom half! I've been looking forward to the next few starchings...

[aswanbyday]

...

I can play just fine. Why don't you come find out?

[tachikhromatic]

Ooh! Oh! Pick me!
