Poker - The Demon's Den

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:04 pm

Anita goes to get a drink, saying hello to the mutants she doesn't know on the way, a whole menagarie of them are filtering in from the town. It looks like it'll be a good turnout, maybe fifty or sixty total players to begin with.

Kevin sidled up to the bar.

"Well hello."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:10 pm

Anita smiles. "Hey, Kevin. I'm glad you could make it."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:13 pm

"I'm glad too now that I found you here."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:31 pm

Anita smiles. "That's sweet. So, excited about the game?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:34 pm

"Only if I win some money," he nodded.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:42 pm

Anita grins. "So this is a bad time ta tell ya that I'm gonna take everything ya got?"

Victoria Valentine wrote:"Constantine, this is my friend Zero. Zero, Constantine. And yes, wonderful timing, of course."

"Good to meet you Zero." Con said, offering a hand to him, after giving her an apprasing look.

"Bring it on girl," he grinned, "The prey never sees the lion coming until it's too late."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:54 pm

"She doesn't need to see you coming," Ryan chuckled as he stepped up to the bar on the other side of Anita.

by **Jezebelle** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:56 pm

Jezebelle cashes in for the maximum number of chips, and waves briefly to Victoria, but she seems distracted.

She's wearing her heavily polarized welding goggles, and what amounts to a black leather catsuit with a short leather jacket over her upper body.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:57 pm

"Ah yes, the touch power."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 4:07 pm

"I hope ya don't twitch yer eye or nothin' when ya get a good card." Anita winks.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 4:12 pm

"Only Wolverine killing a flesh-eating gnome on my back elicits that reaction. True story."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 4:34 pm

"Oh? What's this about gnomes?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 4:46 pm

"Mr. Logan was prowling the Quad hunting the little buggers."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 4:54 pm

"Aww, and I missed it?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:03 pm

"It was pretty awesome. Of course I am surprised to find out gnomes not only exist but crave flesh."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:12 pm

"Well, I like a good steak as much as the next girl. Unless ya mean they don't cook it first?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:35 pm

"More like raw, off the bone, and soylent."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:45 pm

"I suppose I'd be both disturbed that something was trying to eat me, and flattered that it thought I would taste good," Ryan mused before taking a drink of his beer.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:51 pm

"Best way ta deal with something small that wants ta eat ya is how my gran used ta get chickens fer dinner. Just grab the head and give em a spin. Wrings the neck right out."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:52 pm

"With the things I cook for myself it's no surprise it wanted to eat me."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:14 pm

Ryan shrugged. "Things that eat me tend to be poultry fans."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:17 pm

"I wasn't going to say it, but since you brought it up," he smirked, "They'd need barbecue sauce for those chicken wings."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:22 pm

Ryan made a point of examining his wings. "Buffalo sauce. Definitely buffalo sauce."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:23 pm

"So I hope there are no hard feelings tonight when I win everyone's money," Victoria said conversationally.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:26 pm

"Well yeah, that would be more appropriate."

Just as people are settling in, and it looks like the game will begin soon, a last group of players arrives. Four people, all of them look just like Jezebelle. They all have stark white skin, jet black hair streaked with blue, and they're all wearing very dark wrap-around glasses or goggles. Three of them are men, and one is another woman.

One of the men is larger than the rest, and he seems to be in charge. He walks up to speak with The Demon for his group, and The Demon does not seem happy at all. The Demon raises his hand, saying something in protest, and the large pale man grabs the Demon's wrist.

Several of the mutants in the room stand up in concern, including Steve, the tusked mutant who invited all the college kids.

After a few seconds of the pale man staring at the Demon, the Demon raises his other hand, and motions for people to sit back down.

Demon - "It's fine, there's no trouble here. The game will start soon. Everyone find a table."

The bulky pale man smirks, and walks with his crew over to Jezebelle, who leans up to kiss him lightly on the cheek.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:34 pm

"Did they just Jedi-mind-trick that guy?" he whispered.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:35 pm

Anita shakes her head. "I don't know, I'm not a teep. He's supposed ta be pretty strong though. The Demon guy."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:44 pm

"I don't like this all of a sudden," Ryan said quietly. "We're not starting anything... but keep on your guard around those ones."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:45 pm

"You don't need to tell me twice."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:49 pm

Victoria, in the meantime, watched the display with mild disapproval. "Really. Bullying is such a... crude way to get what you want."

by **Narrator** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:52 pm

Jezebelle and the rest of the pale people spread out, so that there's no more than one of them to a table. In some cases they have to kick someone out of their seat to accomplish this. There's grumbling, but no one seems ready to start a fight.

By now, most people are finding seats, the room is filling up nicely with about 5-8 people to a table.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:53 pm

"But something they make a habit of it seems." Con mused quietly.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:54 pm

"New goal. If I don't clean them out, I'm going to be disappointed in myself."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:55 pm

Ryan stuck with Anita as they all took their seats, eyeing the people at his table curiously.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:56 pm

"Yes, and I think they need to learn some manners." Rachel observed "Shall we find a table?" she added, looking at the assembled group.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 6:58 pm

Kevin also stuck with Anita and sat with them.
