poker night

[deadthenred]

WHO: Bucky + OPEN
WHERE: Bucky's actually surprisingly nice apartment.
WHEN: Wednesday evening.
WARNINGS: The promise of manpanties.
SUMMARY: Bucky decided to have a poker game and invite… whoever wanted to show up. THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN VERY SMART.
FORMAT: Tagger's choice.

Bucky wound up solving his food problem by ordering three bags of something or other stacked high with white take-out boxes from the Chinese place his neighbors were always going on about. He also made sure his apartment was spic and span. It was a remarkably tidy space: nothing interesting on the walls, no television, and now a couple orders of cashew chicken placed on a big card table in the center.

He'd bought a few decks of cards from the corner store and unwrapped one of them, flipping the cardstock between his fingers. Yeah, he was ready to play poker.

[ oh, fuuuuuuck. she's just linefacing internally. there is all the linefacing going on. ]

Most people either call me Ms. Danvers or Colonel Danvers when I'm out of costume, depending on where I am and who they are. [ no first name for you, namor. also she secret just wants to hear the king of atlantis call her colonel danvers just so she can boost her ego. ]

[ so sometime towards the end of the night, carol's just going to go and sit over by bucky with a small smile. and a... split lip... ]

This was fun. Thanks for the invite.

[deadthenred]

It's for eating, you know.

The food.

[He's happy that Kate came.]

[deadthenred]

You and Namora have to fight?

[He doesn't sound too mad because nothing was broken, but he's curious and yep he noticed.]

[deadthenred]

There's only fifty-two cards to a deck. Five cards in a hand, maybe, with three to draw, and you gotta have enough to pick from to like your odds of pickin'.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

Ah. The more people, the less cards to win..?

[bests]

That wasn't a fight, that was a discussion. Last time we fought, I hit her with a lamp post and she threw me through a roof.

[ she glances over at him apologetically and shrugs. ] I am sorry if we caused a scene, though. That wasn't my intent.

[recurve]

Are you sure? I thought it was just for decoration.

[But really, that's all the invitation she needs to dig in.]

Do we get a rant with our meal?

[gevurah]

[ Oh, Spidey. A brief glance at the other box and she realizes she can use something to eat right about now. Although talking with your mouth full is considered bad manners. ]

Sure. Mind passing one over?

[gevurah]

It's alright. "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do." You know?

[bests]

Mmn, I know. [ pause ] Do you ever find yourself still using those phrases, even though you're not in the military anymore?

[gevurah]

[ CAN TAKE THE HINT... ]

It's weird... yeah.

[gevurah]

Sometimes. For a while, I lived on various bases and both parents were soldiers. [ ... ] Well, my father's still in active service.

[bests]

Really? What branch?

[gevurah]

[ THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION AND PRESUMABLY HE MIGHT BE A SECURITY/CRISIS CONSULTANT. ]

US Army.

[bests]

Were you guys into the Army v Navy games at all?

[gevurah]

Knights will always have my support.

[bests]

You want to come over and watch the game on Saturday?

[gevurah]

Where at?

[bests]

The mansion. [ address!! ] I figure it will be easier to just watch it in the living room there than it would be anywhere else. And I don't feel bad wearing sweats, then.

[gevurah]

Your Avengers mansion, right? [ GOODNESS. ]

[bests]

The very same. Though I think Tony would have something to say about it being mine.

[gevurah]

I seem to hear his name often. When I asked Nathan if he'd bring anyone dancing with us, it sounded like Tony wouldn't be interested.

[bests]

It would depend on where we're going, really.

[gevurah]

Somewhere adventurous, I hope.
