(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.))

[Sorry, Crowley, Martin's in for a win no matter how that win takes shape. So he grins wide, sweeping the winning towards him with a gleeful little look.]

Jokes on you, I had nothing! A two and a four! And you said I couldn't lie.

[If Crowley stays calm about it, it might put him out a little. But he's been pitied enough in his life to just take whatever he's given, no matter how he gets it.]

[It's very tempting to continue to be blasé about the whole situation, but unfortunately Martin's enthusiasm reminds him of Aziraphale, so Crowley ends up tipping his head in acknowledgment with a huff of laughter.]

Well played. I had all of a pair of eights, so it'd have been a disappointing win either way.

[Eventually, the four of them need to meet and realize they could have been the other couple if only a couple things were different. As it stands, they both fit into a number of tropes and Martin is absolutely The Aziraphale One of the two.]

Heh. Sometimes it just, uhm-- happens like that, you know? It's so rarely all, all dramatic and things like that. Just stuff here and there, but uh-- not going to get all philosophical over a game of cards.

[But he's smiling, so like... it works.]

Want to go in for another round?
