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.

[ 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.

[gevurah]

[ P...AUSES...

Oh. She's not one to be rude without reason and Namora seems nice so far. What does she say? ]

Then it's quite the honor to meet you.

[ Another pause and she does a little curtsy. YEAH, SHE DID. ]

[ putting her hands on her hip and just kind of smirking. YES THATS RIGHT SHES ROYALTY DEAL WITH IT ]

Thank you, Kate. You may refer to me as Your Highness, if it confuses you. I know land dwellers tend to slip up around true royalty.

[gevurah]

[ OKAY SHE TAKES THAT BACK. Princesses. ]

We don't have kings or queens in Gotham.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

I cannot say that I know where that is.

[ or ever heard of it ]

[gevurah]

It's in the state of New Jersey where I'm from. It's no big deal. Most people don't have a Gotham back in their worlds.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

I am not quite familiar with human dwellings, regardless. I do not spend much time in them unless necessary.

[ since she is the only atlantean... besides namor... who can... ]

[gevurah]

Like poker for charity?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ smiles ]

I make an exception for Bucky.

[gevurah]

He must feel special.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

He already has Namor's companionship; that is enough.

[gevurah]

I'd heard he was coming. [ Casting a glance around. ]

[submersing.livejournal.com]

Mmn. I assume he is taking his time arriving.

[ a beat ]

Fashionably late, as you land dwellers say.

[gevurah]

[ RUDE. ]

Yeah, that's a thing people say.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ LOOK SHE IS TRYING TO BE COOL OK ]

There are many strange phrases that your kind use.

[gevurah]

Any in particular that confuse you?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

"Cat's got your tongue."

[gevurah]

It means something's stopped you from talking. As for the origins, I don't know myself.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[ a beat ]

I see.

[ LMFAO SHE THINKS ITS SO STUPID BUT SHES NOT SAYING IT ]

[gevurah]

[ CAN TAKE THE HINT... ]

It's weird... yeah.

Many human customs are.
