[It's a message he's been waiting for all day. It's a message he answers without a fault in his step. He slips into the Doctor's Offices with nothing but himself to show for it, and finds that he's the first one there - save for Hawkeye, their summoner, of course.]

There's nothing more universal than a good game o' poker. [He takes a seat. He settles a hand over his knee and lets his fingers drum.]

[Yesssssss poker. With his old new friend Hawkeye. He can see that Ace's been invited too - good. Kid probably needs a little fun after losing his lady friend a couple of weeks ago...and really, who around here couldn't use a little fun?

He leaves Nill with Heine (no Darklings this time; little bastards have been acting up) and takes the Darkness Express over to the hospital. No sense in popping out of the shadows right in front of old new friends.

P.S., he has the booze.]

Gentlemen.

[There was nothing quite like doing something normal in a place that wasn't normal at all--but then, that wasn't so out of the ordinary itself.

BJ stuffed his precious packet of letters in his pillowcase before making his way over to a comfortable corner in the Doctor's Offices near the others.

He'd stay quiet for now--aside from a nod--with a smile on his face and his hands in his pockets.]

{Doctors Office huh? Right, he remembered seeing a few extras outside the hospital when he used to patrol and what not. Shouldn't be too hard to spot which one of them was obviously occupied. No worries boys, the game could start soon, Ace was indeed bringing the Aces in all forms.

In walked the freckled pirate, sporting piratey scruff and everything. He raises a hand for a slight wave.}

Yo!

{A tip of the hat to you gentleman and a bow of his head before tossing the deck of cards to the table. A glance about at everyone, new faces all around aside from one. Just a nod for you Jackie. He took up a seat, spun it around and straddled it, folding his arms over the back of the chair, which was now facing the table.}

Names Ace, it's nice to meet you all.

[Hawk's just been lounging about up until now, enjoying the familiar buzz of excitement that always presents itself before a card game. But now that everyone's gathered he straightens up a bit, taking on a more regal posture. This is a historic event after all. ]

Ladies and germs, I call it eight o' clock and the conference is now in session. We'll be proceeding with the agenda shortly, but first... a very important question.

[Quick pause and he glances around the room. One completely new face, another that's supposedly not new at all and then the two that are as familiar as the back of his hand. Not a bad crowd for the first night.

He smiles, a proper Chesire grin and then he continues. Business first and then they can get on with the game.]

What are we betting tonight?

[Comment-log] meatballcommand March 24 2010, 04:57:23 UTC

That's a point.

[Henry leans forward, arms folded over his chest. He looks to the deck of cards on the table. He looks to the hooch.]

Shots?

[Comment-log] cheesymustache March 24 2010, 05:48:05 UTC

[BJ settles down on a chair of his own, fingers threaded together to make a tidy nest for his chin.]

We've already got Hawkeye, Henry, Ace, him--[gestures to Jackie]--and little old me. Our personalities are intoxicating enough.

Maybe we could use something a little more... substantial. [He gives a casual shrug with the added twist of a habitual brush of his mustache.]

[Comment-log] dontcallmegol March 24 2010, 06:25:37 UTC

{He lets his head drop to his folded arms as he thinks for a bit.}

Not sure about you guys, but all I have is clothes off my back. I'd suggest a rousing game of Strip Poker, but well... we just met and we're not even drunk yet.

{A Gol grin for you folks, looks even more so with the small mustache he had. He was joking. Seriously. Even if he didn't care one way or the other.}

Shots are fine by me. {He'd just, pick up that deck of cards, pull them out and start to shuffle idly. He did some fancy tricks with'em too.}

[Comment-log] yankeedoodledr March 24 2010, 19:19:33 UTC

No offense to the current company but I do believe we're rather lacking in certain assetts to make a game of strip poker worth playing, let alone exciting. And shots... I don't know, that doesn't seem fair to the losers.

[Charles was right, money really did make everything more interesting but they didn't exactly have that luxury over here. Sure, they could play with pebbles or bottle caps like they did under Frank's horrifying reign but that was never the same.

Something else then...]

How about something we all got? Something of real value? Something that only a Royal Flush could take away from us? Of course I'm talking about our dignity.

[Brief pause and you could practically hear the cogs turn in his head. This could be that something, not to mention a good way to do some bonding in this sorry excuse for a garbage dump.]

The loser has to perform an embarrassing and most of all childish task of the winners choice or share a deep dark secret with the rest of the class. What do you say?

[comment-log] /LEAPS BACK IN FOR A MINUTE theforceoncrack March 25 2010, 05:44:19 UTC

[Jackie is pouring himself...a glass of water. He'll get tipsy a little later, but he's starting off with something safe. If green.]

Dare or deep dark secret, huh? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, Hawk.

[Pause. Smirk.]

I'm in.

[And as an afterthought;]

Drinks, anyone? Name's Jackie. I'll be your bartender for the evening.

[Comment-log] meatballcommand March 25 2010, 05:53:34 UTC

[-and he leans back. Hawkeye's idea was the kind that would have the most peculiar sense of nervousness sinking deep into his gut. Naturally, Henry felt just that. But he couldn't deny being taken for everything you've got was well within the spirit of poker. A spirit he wasn't about to break.]

Hey, why not? [He laughs, heartedly.] I'll throw my hat into the ring.

[In true iconic style, he lifts his hat from his head and chucks it onto the table between them.

He turns to Jackie, hand raised.] Toss me my first for the night.
