I13DT - Surprise Party

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

"Science vs. Creation. Wonderful."

Bear laid down a very large bet, checking the reactions of the others.

Mira immediately pushed in chips after her, tumbling them over and splashing the pot.

"The personification of destruction wants to destroy her chips, of course."

Bear smirked, watching Mira as the community cards were flipped over.

Mira proudly showed a pair of pocket aces! The fact that there were no aces on the board didn't seem to dissuade her.

Kevin matched the bet.

Smirking, he laid out a full house of three queens and two kings. "Ladies, say hello to Bob Saget," he grinned.

"Back to the drawing board.." She muttered.

Laura was nearly out as well, though she had a few more than Mira did. She took the deck, shuffled it expertly and began dealing out cards, "Texas Hold 'Em this time," she said, setting the deck in front of her after she'd dealt.

Mira was on tilt--she probably had a bad hand, but unless she cheated, there was nothing she could do about it!

Figuring this was probably their last game, and since it was just for fun, Janice put all her chips in.

Kevin had bet a large portion of his previous round's winning and laid down three kings. Easily beaten, but not a bad hand either.

"Well bollocks." Sara says as she comes up just short of a flush, instead leaving her with a whole lot of nothing. At least she hadn't bet all her chips.

"5, 4, 3, 2..."

Bear lined up her cards with the community cards, revealing a countdown straight. She smiled, flipping over the ace.

"Very well. I guess that just leaves Sara, Kevin and Bear to stack their chips so I can un-whammy him.

It was fun playing with you, Laura and Janice, but you're kind of shit at poker,"
said the Goddess who was also out of chips.

"Alrightly then," Mira said, cracking her knuckles.

A moment later, two roughly equal-sized Wills stood where Bear and Sara's chips had been, and a 2-foot tall one stood were Kevin's was. They stood there, blinking.
