(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.))

"I have." Senku chuckled. "Although when I play with Gen, it's really just a contest to see who can get away with more cheating. That's what I get for knowing a mentalist." He rolled his eyes a little bit.

"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'm probably biased but he's fun to talk to; a good time win or lose," Malcolm points out. "Do you already know George and Nick or did you just meet them tonight?"

"So noted, I'll seek him out at some opportunity if he isn't available tonight." Senku promised easily with a smile. There was nothing wrong with an engaging conversation.

"I met George at the festival. He's the one who recommended I try the corn dogs, and he was right they were good."
abrightboy: (wants to help)

"How was the festival? Did you have a good time?"

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.

Senku blinked at him a moment as though he didn't quite understand the question. Did he have a good time?

"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."
abrightboy: (pretty pleased)

Malcolm nods in amusement. "Sounds about right for a country fair," he concedes. "Did you just go out of curiosity?"

"Yeah, it was something to do. Have you been to many before? I hadn't, at least nothing like that, as far as I can remember."

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.
abrightboy: (regretful)

"I arrested a spree killer at a county fair once. Does that count?" Malcolm asks with a laugh.

He laughed too. "Well, if you think it does, then yes."

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."
abrightboy: (secret smile)

"I'm not sure I think it does, but my dad never took me to one, either. He did take me camping, but there was a level of quaintness he was comfortable with and things like county fairs would be below it," Malcolm explains.
