Angel's Little Patch of Heaven

[The_gladiator]

He accepts the root beer from HF and takes a long drink. He pulls a chair up next to Veroe, "Holdem? he asks.

 

[Veroe]

Mumbly peg I think it's called, the object of the game is obviously not to cut yourself. But still, stab the blade between ones fingers, faster than your opponents can.

Closing the book he's reading putting it aside, rising from his chair exist his shadowy corner. Ambling over to where Vero was seated, taking a seat directly across the table.

Oh that thing with stabbing the table between people's fingers faster and faster that vain out of their minds douchebags do in action movies to show how out of touch with their own mortality they are.

That game?

pokes head in

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has heard what happened to Yeishia? Haven't seen her around in a while. I sort of noticed her absence.

I was wondering the same thing. I was getting worried over her absence, but the other day Glad told me pretty much the same thing.

Oh and Glad all we need is a deck of cards. And Texas Hold'em of course.

"Texas Hold'em it is Sir." He produces a deck and begins to shuffle, snorting a laugh at Veroe's evaluation of Wolfias's proposed game.

 

[Angeleyz]

Hey guys.... I hope to be back later....

Rip roaring fight with hubby this evening and need to find a happy place.

I understand why one would be uneasy to play that game against a wolf. As for the movie doushebags they're faulty stereotypical bad guys. I'd enjoy watching the slow opponents lopping off fingers.

Rip roaring fight with hubby this evening and need to find a happy place.

"Uh oh. sorry to hear that. had one with my gf this morning... not pretty. Best of luck to you doll."

 

[Veroe]

Sorry fellas had to finish a post for Asa there.

Takes the deck and starts shuffling the cards.

So you in Wolfias?

"No problem, we're in no rush. HF might play were he back, but we could play a few hands the 3 of us." he smiles.

The elf begins sorting chips to pass out to the three of them.

 

[Wolfias]

Find that happy place and hopefully you'll feel better. Hope the making up happens sooner than later Angel.

 

[Wolfias]

Takes the deck and starts shuffling the cards.

So you in Wolfias?

I don't have much luck with games of chance...they're like unstable women...you lose every time. But count me in.

 

[The_gladiator]

"Loser takes a shot?" he jokes as he passes out chips.

 

[Veroe]

Alright then gentlemen.

Starts dealing each of us five cards and place the deck to the side.

I arrange my cards in my hand carefully. I have the King of Diamonds, the Eight of Clubs, Three of Hearts, The Ace of Spades, and the Ten of Clubs.

I try to maintain a poker face as I realize I've dealt myself a shitty hand.

 

[Wolfias]

Without looking at the cards I fold just to get a shot. Ah shit I fold! Where's my shot?

 

[The_gladiator]

Glad rises after tossing his hand with a pair of duces on the table. He returns to the table with a bottle of Jack and 3 shot glasses.

"A shot for you Wolfias." he snorts a laugh.

 

[Veroe]

Dang it Glad beat me to it.

Let's just give that round a mulligan guys.

I Take the cards back and starts shuffling the deck hoping I'd get a better hand this time.

I deal five more cards each and look at my hand again. I have the makings of a flush here.

I ante up with one chip in the center of the table and look to Glad to know whether he wants to trade any of his cards or keep them or raise to Wolfias.

 

[The_gladiator]

He laughs, "Well then, now you can take your pick, whisky or tequila." he nods with approval.

He takes the deck and shuffles them.

This time he has the 2 of hearts, the 3 of spades, the 5 of diamonds the 6 of clubs and the 9 of spades. He fights not to groan at how close he was but not quite.

Ante up Glad. Do you want any more cards?

 

[Wolfias]

Downing the Tequila and Whiskey and folds after looking and having nothing. Fold...

 

[The_gladiator]

"I'll take one." he comments. "Although you do realize we're playing stud, not hold'em, right?" he chuckles at Wolfias. "I feel like the wolf just wants to get drunk..."

 

[Veroe]

"I'll take one." he comments. "Although you do realize we're playing stud, not hold'em, right?" he chuckles at Wolfias. "I feel like the wolf just wants to get drunk..."

I realize that now. Well I'm more comfortable in Stud myself.

Deals one to him and take one for myself.

I raise.

Placing two chips into the pot.

 

[Wolfias]

"I'll take one." he comments. "Although you do realize we're playing stud, not hold'em, right?" he chuckles at Wolfias. "I feel like the wolf just wants to get drunk..."

I resemble that remark sir Elf. I prefer Gin...Rummey that is. Poker just isn't my game. Poke her now that's a different story all together.

I somehow get the impression your opinion on poker would change if Bama, or Mari, or Angel were sitting at this table and the losers had to lose articles of their clothing.

Pour one of us a shot. We'll find out whether I or Glad will need to take it in a moment or two.

 

[The_gladiator]

He laughs at Wolfias's play on words.

He tosses his cards down "You can have it Veroe, didn't catch my 4."

He pores a shot of Jack and takes it quickly.

 

[Veroe]

Seems luck wasn't on either of our sides, Mr. Elf.

I lay my incomplete Flush down on the table.

However it also seems I endured beneath her displeasure a bit longer than either of you gentleman.

I sweep the few chips in the pot towards me.

Shall we go for another hand?

He nods seeing Veroe's jack high hand." You did seem to win good sir. "Yes, another."
