(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.

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.))

Sometimes it was overwhelming: the thought that there were people all around him he barely knew existed, perfect strangers he couldn't even recognize as people he lived near and worked with every day simply because he hadn't yet spoken with them and learned their names. True, there were some whose voices he knew, but if they were more quiet as Jaeger was, Garner might never know they were there.
Floating alone through the rest of his life was...too much sometimes. He tried not to dwell, however. More than likely, he would find his life not so long after all and then it wouldn't be a question any longer, better to enjoy those he bumped into or had the privilege to seek out while he could.
"I'm sure there's things here they're not telling us. All large organizations are like that. It's entirely possible they're using us more than they're letting on, but it might be kinder that they're hiding it. I don't know. I don't know that I care, there's a job to be done and monsters to stop from hurting people. ADI is helping and the community it offers here is...pleasant. I know how to hunt alone, but I think, having been through both, I prefer to have the company and the friends."
There's a pause and he chuckles. "Perhaps I should host a party, but leave all the lights off. See how long it takes for someone to stub a toe."
