Wednesday Night: Poker.

[medusae_x]

Duce heads down to the casino. She's not 18 and even her emancipated minor card won't cause them to cough up the chips so she can gamble.

Scowling, she goes over to watch a round of poker.

Anakin turned from the table and smiled. A respectable but not unlikely stack of chips were lined up with anal-retentive precision in front of him.

"Hey," he greeted her.

"Anakin," she greeted cheerfully, heading over to watch him play, "How's the game?" A sheepish look crept over her face, "We haven't forgotten about your books, by the way. Just.. uh.. kinda hectic life over the last week or so."

"Easier than the games I'm used to," he said, grinning as the pile of chips in front of him grew. "Don't worry about the books." His face went flat for a moment. "The last week I hadn't been in much of a mood to read."

He looked at his cards and shifted a few chips forward into the pot. "Thanks again for getting us here. I really needed the break."

"I rather like it," Duce notes. Scrutinizing Jonathan's face, she shakes her head, making a Mr. Yuck face. "Facial hair will not suit you. I vote against it. Anakin might look ok with a moustache and goatee, but you? No."

"Plus it'll ruin the utterly androgynous look to my face," Jonathan teases, "and where would I be then?"

[medusae_x]

"You know, if you remove them now, it'd probably keep that from happening.." Duce muses, her face speculative. Most people would probably not consider what she's speculating on to be any sort of favour to them.

She gestures with her chin at the dealer, "Are you going to play another hand? This is kind of fun, watching. I always have to use the cheat sheet when I play."

[master_of_fear]

Jonathan hopes he's hearing what she's saying wrong.

"I think I'm kind of going to need it," he says, giving her a weird look, "I mean, I hope I'll need it again sometime soon. And yeah, definately play some more, that hand was just unbeleivabley sucky."

He doesn't entirely believe that she's no good at cards, not for a second.

Thursday Night: Roulette Wheel

[emo_padawan]

Anakin was concentrating very, very hard on the little spinning ball. One could say almost more than strictly necessary.

He had a tidy pile of chips in front of him and a light in his eyes. Anakin liked winning.

"Red Ten man," Jonathan whispers into his ear, "Red frakking Ten, please I'll split the winnings with you."

Jonathan's also starring at the ball, hoping if they're both doing it it'll look less suspicious.

When the roulette finally stopped spinning, the silver ball was resting on top of Red Ten. Huh. Imagine that happening.

Anakin turned to Jonathan. "The luck you have," he said with a grin.

Jonathan smiles as he collects his chips, "I'm thinking it's you man," he tells Anakin, "you're like my good luck charm!" He decides to bet on something inocuous this time around, so as not to raise suspicion. he still doesn't bet nearly as much as he did before.

"So Anakin, I feel like I should be getting to know you," he says as the little ball moves around. he closes his eyes for several minutes as if deep in thought, "I know! THis is an important and personal question her, okay? Now, if you could be any flavor of ice cream, which would you be?"
