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.

THIS TAG WAS DELAYED BY THE SUDDEN NEED TO POLYVORE

[bests]

[ ALSO THIS IS NOW AN OPEN THREAD FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BOTHER CAROL THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT? because that's how i roll??

she shows up wearing sunglasses even though it's probably already dark out because she is a dork sometimes. she's pretty boss at poker, so there's that, and carol's also pretty good at that whole talking/ribbing/taunting people in the spirit of competitiveness while playing, so.

also she brought five layer taco dip. ]

[ Julian had said he'd show. It took him a while to actually locate where the hell Bucky's apartment was, but he finds it and knocks.

He's pretty sure he isn't gonna know a single other person here, but whatever. He's still planning on winning this thing. ]

DELAYED BY WANTING TO EDIT POLYVORE welp

[ What's red and black and white all over? It's Kate, showing up on time and with a small pack of beer. Of course she brought beer, but minors should be aware they are not allowed to drink or she will not be pleased.

She's probably decent at poker, but idk how card games work so Kate's totally not winning tonight. Not that it bothers her -- it's going to charity.

THIS IS A GENERAL OPEN THREAD TO BOTHER HER THROUGHOUT THE EVENING. ]

[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.

POLYVORE BUDDY high five

[bests]

[ MOSEYS ON OVER TO at some point before the game starts. ]

Looks like we've got more mutual friends and acquaintances than I realized.

[gevurah]

Natural?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

Yes. It is not as red though.

i already have her dancing clothes planned >:)

[gevurah]

Hey. [ she smiles. ] Bucky's got quite a few older lady friends, I've noticed.

[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.

SURE WHY NOT

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ I GUESS THIS IS SOMETIME DURING A POKER BREAK because uh lmfao idk timeline

anyways Namoras like chilling on a couch and glancing over at the dip that Carol brought ]

What is that supposed to be?

ohhhh?

[bests]

He's actually from my world, or one like it. I know a version of him that's a little older, so I think I cheated when it came to the befriending him part.

HAHA YES

[bests]

Taco dip.

[ TAKES A CHIP WITH SOME ON IT

EATS IT ]

It's game food, best eaten during poker and football games.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

And this is what all land dwellers eat?

[ cause uh it looks disgusting ]

[bests]

[ bitchy i'm going to punch you smile get. no one insults her taco dip. ]

Just the ones with good taste.

[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. ]

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ see icon ]

Or ones who think themselves that way.

[ SAID SO CASUALLY TOO YOU COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT WAS AN INSULT ]

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ 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.

[bests]

[ there is a moment of BITCH YOU DID NOT JUST before carol just smiles ]

You could just try it and see for yourself. Unless you're scared...?
