(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.))

Of course, he'd lived it for the past six years, so really, not much changed here. Just, maybe, the scope of it all. And the fact that at least now, he had some allies, and a base of operations that wasn't the back of his SUV on an endless circuit around the country.
"We have good people here, and I have to admit it's a nice change for me." He pauses, a rueful smile on his face as he gazes over at her in the shadows. "I'm used to being very isolated. Moving around a lot. It's taking some time to get used to being...social, again. It feels very strange."

"I suppose I could say the same." She'd spent years alone and stranded on a destroyed spaceship with her only friend in cryosleep. True, she hadn't been in that situation for some time, but when she'd laid claim to the mantle she'd lost even her friendship with the Chief.
Surrounded by allies who looked up to and feared her, she'd been more alone than ever.
She shivered.
