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.

Something tells me I would've ended up paying all the damages with that one. [ since, haha, good luck suing atlantean royalty ] You certainly keep some interesting company, Bucky.

[deadthenred]

The company keeps me.

[bests]

Might want to be careful who you say that around. You never know who may take it a little too literally. [ but enough digs at namora. ] So I did know you and Hawkeye were friends.

[deadthenred]

Hawkeye?

[...]

Oh, y'mean Kate.

[bests]

Yes, I mean Kate. I'm more used to using her codename.

She's a good kid.

[deadthenred]

Yeah, she's nice.

[Is this conversation going anywhere…]

[bests]

[ nope, carol just does not know how to do small talk sometimes. which is why there is a slight pause before she changes the subject. ]

You feeling old at all today?

[deadthenred]

It's December 7th. So, yeah, I guess so.

[bests]

Well, it's good to know an old vet like yourself can still have fun trouncing other people in poker.

[deadthenred]

S'why I had it today, really.

I always have fun winning.

[bests]

I'm pretty sure everyone has fun when they win.

[deadthenred]

Some people don't know how to have fun period.

[bests]

Everyone has something they find enjoyable. Sometimes it's not a good thing, but it's there.

[deadthenred]

Nope, I said what I said. Some people don't know the meaning of.

[bests]

You got any examples?

[deadthenred]

Just the obvious one.

[bests]

[ just... glances at their highnesses. ]

[deadthenred]

Nah, Subby knows how to have fun, he's just got another definition for it.

[Spoilers: it involves being a dick]

[bests]

That's what I was thinking. Your obvious example isn't so obvious.

[deadthenred]

I meant Steve.

[and he is still weirded out that Carol knows him apparently :|a]

[bests]

Steve can have fun every once in a while.

[deadthenred]

No he can't.

[But he says this affectionately.]

[bests]

Well, I've had fun around him, and that's close enough for jazz.
