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.

[ it was really becoming a thing with Namora just being riculously out of place wherever she went. but when shes walking around in a bathing suit during the middle of winter, heads turn. shes seen Ken play poker back when she was with the Agents, so thats enough, right?

well regardless shes a quick learner.

she doesnt bother to knock when she gest to Buckys apartment, just opens the door and steps inside. ]

It's surprisingly clean.

[ because who actually says hello. and she also brought with her the revenge of kelp juice. ]

[deadthenred]

[Bucky was surprised at the no-knocking thing, 'cause he was the type to open doors for ladies, but recovered smoothly enough.]

What kinda operation d'you think I'm running?

[And then he noticed the KELP JUICE.]

Oh, you didn't need to bring drinks. [...] I'll… just put it with the other food.

You do not seem like someone who would be particularly neat.

[ she doesnt even try to be nice about that either... shell just be walking over and holding out the bottle with that bemused, Atlantean smile of hers ]

You enjoyed it so much the last time we met up, I thought you would like to have your own.

[deadthenred]

I've got hidden depths. [He was drilled to be neat since he was a small child, awww yeah, military.]

Well hang, it'd be a rude not to share it.

[He is putting it with. The other food.]

[submersing.livejournal.com]

So I have gathered. [ PUTTING HER HAND ON HIS SHOULDER before stepping away and looking around ]

I presume many will be coming?

[deadthenred]

Six or seven. Too many people and it's no good for the game.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

Why?

[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..?

[gevurah]

[ Heads turning? You can bet on it. Although, this lady merely looks curious rather than judgmental towards her. ]

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ oh she sees that. shes only vaguely glancing over because uh. human. nonetheless ]

Your hair is an interesting colour for a land dweller.

[gevurah]

[ But she has horrible blonde highlights. :( Nevertheless, she looks amused. ]

Not too many redheads where you're from?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

No.

[ a beat ]

I have only known one person with a hair colour similar to yours.

[gevurah]

Natural?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

Yes. It is not as red though.

[gevurah]

I'll take it as a compliment.

[ HOLDS OUT HER HAND... ]

Kate.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ KATE WHAT ARE YOU DOING

just looking at kates hand and then at her face UH

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOURE TALKING TO?????????????

ok obviously not but uh holding out her hand anyways YOU MAY KISS IT ]

Namora, second princess of the Royal Confederation of Atlantis.

[submariner]

[Oh hey what up cuz, Namor is just gonna float on over also in his swimwear, because that's how the cool kids do.] Namora.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ speak of the devil IN ANOTHER THREAD shell be glancing his way and smiling a little ]

Hello, my king.

[submariner]

[No Namora don't tell people he likes Bucky that is supposed to be a secret!!!

Whatever he's going to equally tiny smile. Gosh.]

Enjoying yourself?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ shrugs ]

Enough. These land dweller gatherings are enough to tide my interest.

[ a beat ]

I did not think you would come.

[submariner]

They tend to be incredibly tedious.

[one pointy ass eyebrow just iiinches upwards]

I said that I would.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ long... pause.............. lmfdmdf ]

It just does not seem like something you would enjoy. These human poker games, that is.

[submariner]

[Slowly... crossing arms...]

I could say the same of you.

[Oh good this probably isn't totally awkward to witness for the other people in the room, right? B'D]

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ LMFAO OH MY GOD SO TENSE ]

Card games were something my teammates enjoyed playing together.

[ look ok shes being sentimental but said with the straightest of faces ]
