(Open Log) You gotta know when to hold 'em
Who: George Milton, Nick Valentine, and anybody who shows up
When: April 22, starting around 6 PM until
Where: Apartment A-3
Summary: A night for playing cards, drinking beer or b.y.o.b. if harder, snacks and unwinding. Feel free to thread jack and jump all around, at least in my threads. This is just for some relaxed down time and catching up or introductions in a smaller, casual space.
Warnings: None expected. If your characters get to discussing anything triggery or get up to anything spicy, please CW in your individual threads.
Over the past week or so, hand printed signs drawn in sharpie on plain paper have shown up taped to walls around the apartment complex and on any easily accessible bulletin boards at ADI. A couple of them were also delivered to the flophouse with the request they be displayed somewhere the residents might see them.
They read:
Cards and Beer
Friday April 22 6 PM
Apartment A 3
George and Nick's place
You want more than beer
or chips and popcorn
bring your own.
Extra decks appreciated.
The night of, the door to A 3 is propped open. In addition to the dining table, a couple of card tables and cheap folding chairs are set up for games. Two bowls on the coffee table contain chips and popcorn respectively. There's a cooler on the floor in the kitchen filled with ice and cheap beer.
George or Nick will greet people as they come in and tell them to make themselves at home.
((OOC: Feel free to top level with your own character and make whatever prompts you like. George is generally easy-going, but if he catches anyone stealing, getting too hot and heavy in a bedroom, or otherwise being a general jerk about the apartment or the other guests, he will try to throw the offender out. If you want that kind of thread or want to succeed at something nefarious, let me know so we can work it out.))

Senku Ishigami | OTA
A party was not normally Senku's idea of a good time but he was suddenly alone in a strange place and he needed to meet the people around him that he was expected to work with. Sounded like a lot of work to him, but that was neither here nor there.
A community event was not unfamiliar. He'd attended many over the years, and was used to some level of interaction. Cards was fun, on top of that.
He had in his hands a tupperware container, not for his benefit but to offer the hosts. He'd picked up on some social norms over the years. Also cooking had been relaxing. "I brought mochi. It's just filled with fruit though."
II. Card Shark
Senku was definitely a card shark, and while he could cheat rather blatantly if he wanted to, and with the right opponent he definitely would, he actually wasn't cheating.
Well, outside of card counting, but he couldn't help that. His memory just worked that way, it made it difficult to forget what cards had already been discarded and statistics seemed to be helping him.
He could probably be called out, or even better if someone wanted to cheat against him he'd definitely enjoy the challenge.
III. Hanging Out
If not at the card table, Senku might be more in a corner with snacks and a beer. He wasn't drinking heavily which was good for their hosts, probably, but sipping at the same one he'd gotten since he came in.
A bowl of chips mixed with popcorn and beer was good enough for him. He just was not the most outgoing person. He was fine once he got going, but he tended to flirt with the edges of groups and was fine with that.
IV. Fresh Air
Eventually, it became too much to be in the party and he needed to catch his breath and centre himself. It was a little worse without his buffer around.
Asagiri Gen would've been proud he was making an effort.
He glanced back at the door and away and considered whether or not he should just go at that point.
V. Wildcard
[Senku is available for just about anything here! Hit him up.]

"Are you leaving? I thought you were winning."

"I was." He chuckled, he had some small change to prove it. "Thinking about it...but I suppose I don't have to. Either way, I needed the break."

"I'm sure a professional could beat me though. I haven't played all that much comparatively. Could be fun." They weren't really betting very much so even if he lost it, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

"I met George at the festival. He's the one who recommended I try the corn dogs, and he was right they were good."
no subject
Malcolm had a run-in with Mercy back in January and while he feels they've talked it out, he did still avoid her festival.
no subject
"I mean. I suppose." He didn't tend to mark events that way. "There was nothing objectionable about it, aside from hack magicians who are far worse than Asagiri Gen."

If they had even had things like that in Tokyo, he was sure his dad would've dragged him there, but he hadn't so he could only assume they didn't.

No, it really didn't, but Senku wasn't in the position to judge that kind of thing. "My dad would've dragged me to something like that. He used to make me do all kinds of objectively fun things I didn't care for."
