What kind of cards?

[ten_ofspades]

[... Yeah, probably should have specified.]

Playing cards. You know, for poker. [Or whatever other game suits your fancy.]

[mikangirl]

Mm. Keep an eye out on the journals. There's a guy called Smoker who's organising a regular poker night.

[ten_ofspades]

[Huh. Must have missed it.]

Really? Guess I'll have to pay more attention in the future.

[neoslaying]

Not my strong suit.

[But. Well, this chick she did work with for part of the draft. Consider it a backhanded check in]

[ten_ofspades]

[Ah, yeah. Melanie recognizes her.]

It's not for everybody, but it's a decent way to waste some time.

[neoslaying]

Bet it is. Can't help much for a spled game though.

[ten_ofspades]

Don't have a very good poker face?

[immamartillo]

Got a particular game in mind?

[ten_ofspades]

Poker. Though at this point I'd even settle for a game of Go Fish. [Because a distraction is a distraction, damn it. She'll take what she can get.]

[immamartillo]

[ After the events of the Draft, he's also in sore need of a distraction. ]

I don't know about Go Fish, but poker's right up my alley. It'd be nice to have a good game with someone here.

[ten_ofspades]

Definitely. I can't remember the last time I had a good game with someone. [It was far before she was brought to Luceti, that's for sure.]

[kineticcajun]

[Melanie, you have summoned the ragin' Cajun with that question.]

Cards're my specialty, petite. What kinda game you got in mind?

[ten_ofspades]

[Two thieves that specialize in cards. What could possibly go wrong?]

I'm good with just about anything, but poker's probably best if you want to keep things interesting. [She's a former member of the Royal Flush Gang. Like hell her family would let her be a part of it without making sure she's damn good at the game the whole thing is based off of.]

[kineticcajun]

[It's probably a good thing there isn't any money here for this to get too out of hand.]

Poker it is, then. Gotta say, it's been way too long since I had anybody to play against.

[Charles Xavier doesn't count, because he's still suspicious that telepath cheated.]

[ten_ofspades]

[Definitely a good thing.]

You and I both.

[ten_ofspades]

I'm best at poker, though honestly I'm good with just about anything. [Not to brag, but... well, it's true.]

[ten_ofspades]

No harm in taking pride in one's skills. [Buuuut his next question will be met with a less enthusiastic answer.]

My family taught me. It was kind of a tradition for us. [... Yeah, sure, that works.]
