(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.))

"Unfortunately for everyone," Neal sighs. He does really miss good wine.

He sets out several of his offerings, feeding a few different samples to Malcolm as he explains what they are.

He manages to get three amuse-bouches into Malcolm before he declines one with a laugh and a hand on his stomach.

“How do you know how to make all this stuff?” he asks with a degree of wonder.

Neal grins, popping the refused token into his own mouth, chewing, and swallowing before he tries to speak. “A lifetime of practice and collecting recipes from every continent I set foot on.”

Malcolm smiles, quite enchanted.

“I’ve never traveled much outside the United States.”

Who would want to deal with his sleep issues on even a private long haul flight?

“Canada, the Caribbean… a little bit. My parents took us to the south of France once, when I was a kid.”

"We can fix that." He trails a fingertip through Malcolm's hair, brushing a stray strand behind the other man's ear. "Once we're done saving the world."
