♦ 01 - One Pair

[demondealergirl]

[On a street with wide sidewalks and minimal traffic sits a redbrick café on the ground floor of a three story building. It's called the Fifth Street Café regardless of what street it's actually located. There are circular glass and metal tables set outside with matching chairs. Brightly colored umbrellas shade guests on the hottest of days,

sorry, forgot to tag for Gumi

[pickthecard]

[out of a casino, into a cafe, what is wrong with her life]

-Ah. I appear to have been replaced.

[demondealergirl]

[expecting another Gumi alt. from the voice]

Now, don't say that. There are lots of room for variations here.

[Looks up from her game and sees herself, including the horns. ... Okay, that's a little different.]

... Hello.

[pickthecard]

[sighing wearily; the casino clearly visible through the open door behind her]

Please tell me there isn't another mystically irritating casino in the world?

[demondealergirl]

Hmmm... I wouldn't say Crossbones was ever irritating or mystical.

[peers in, that was a door outside just a moment ago]

... And certainly not like that.

[pickthecard]

[quietly shuts the door; no need for a fuss]

Then as advice from one unfortunate to another, never take contract with one.

[demondealergirl]

Considering I'm something of a free agent since I arrived, that's solid advice.

[nudges an empty chair with her foot to push it away from the table]

You look like you could use something to drink.

[pickthecard]

[slides onto it]

If it's showing on my face, who am I to disagree.

[demondealergirl]

I personally recommend the carrot croissants and coffee.

[she waves over a waiter]

[pickthecard]

I'll have to pass on the croissants, but I'll take the coffee.

[demondealergirl]

[The waiter comes to take the order.]

So, have you just arrived, or have I just not had the chance to cross paths with you?

[pickthecard]

[orders a coffee; unsweetened black]

I was attached to this location a while ago, but then we somehow fell folly to an asylum. Still we, appear to have returned now.

[pickthecard]

...I don't tend to get out much.

[demondealergirl]

[she gives a light sigh] That asylum was something else. A good introduction to the oddies of this place, perhaps.

It must get incredibly dull at times, or is business booming so much you can't pull away from it?

[pickthecard]

...The former.

When it falls to the point where there is no-one to play games but myself it is best quick to leave.

[demondealergirl]

Ah, but what if you are playing a game with yourself?

[With a quick sweep of her hand, she gathers her cards together.]

Perhaps we might have an... interesting game.

[[ooc: brb trying to learn poker ^^;]]

[pickthecard]

((ooc: ahaha I know your pain...))

Ara, I think we both know better than to trust the other with their home deck...
