8th Mark [Audio // English]

Y'know, Houdini actually died of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix? None of that Chinese water trap shit. Bloody amazing man, but he was only human. All that showmanship and mystery, and he took his last breath in a hospital bed.

not as smart as he sounds, !ace, !belle, russ loev book

I never knew that.

oneeveryminute March 6 2009, 19:56:19 UTC

The more you know.

[He makes a whooshing noise.]

[She giggles.]

What're you up to?

oneeveryminute March 6 2009, 19:58:51 UTC

Killing time, getting some grub.

Bored out of me skull, actually.

strongerfaster March 6 2009, 19:59:20 UTC

Need someone to be bored with?

Wouldn't mind the company, love.

I'm at the buffet.

[A minute or two later Belle's casually walking up to the buffet.]

Oi.

Afternoon, love.

[Russ is sitting at a table with a deck of cards, playing through a game of spider solitaire. A half-eaten plate of food sits beside him, cold and unappetizing by now.]

Afternoon

[She sits down across from him, reclining in her chair.]

You a card player?

[Comment Log] oneeveryminute March 7 2009, 05:50:42 UTC

[He chuckles as he flips over a card, then reaches for a lukewarm mug of milky tea, sipping it.]

S'just a hobby. You play?

[Comment Log] strongerfaster March 7 2009, 16:16:49 UTC

A little.

[She's lying. Playing cards was one of the main sources of entertainment back home, when they couldn't afford anything else.]

[Comment Log] oneeveryminute March 7 2009, 18:15:24 UTC

[The lying's mutual.]

Oh yeah? Whatcha play?

[Comment Log] strongerfaster March 7 2009, 18:21:12 UTC

[She shrugs.]

This 'n that. You know. I'm flexible.

[Comment Log] oneeveryminute March 7 2009, 18:25:57 UTC

[Scooping up the cards, Russell shuffles them easily, a nice riffle. A simple shuffle that anyone could do, but fast and clean and obviously confident with the cards.]

Poker?

[Comment Log] strongerfaster March 7 2009, 18:28:33 UTC

Yeah, I can play a hand or two of poker.

[She leans forward.]

We'll see how good a bluff you are.

[Comment Log] oneeveryminute March 7 2009, 18:30:15 UTC

[He leans in with her and smirks.]

Me, bluff? Think you've got me confused with someone else, love.
