Poker [Locked to the poker players]

[fh_jackass]

Logan's home. There's a poker table set up in the living room, with booze and snacks on a nearby table. There's a hole in the wall near the entry way, just about fist level for someone Logan's height. If one stepped into the kitchen, one would find the shredded remains of a coffee plant strewn about.

Logan sat on the couch, viciously pounding the buttons on his Playstation controller and drinking from an already-half-empty bottle of tequila.

Round 1

[fh_jackass]

Logan sat down at the card table, along with his bottle of tequila. As an afterthought, he got up and fetched himself a glass, then came back to the table.

"Five card stud is the game, boys." He shuffled the cards as he waited for the guys to get seated, offered the deck to Bel for the cut, then dealt out the first hand. One card down, one card up for the first round of betting. Logan was showing a Jack of Spades, Angelus was showing a Seven of Diamonds and Bel was showing a Four of Diamonds.

Logan turned to Angelus. "You gonna put some cash on that seven?"

Angelus checked his cards, then tossed in a hundred. "It's a lucky enough number. Also, I want to make Bel cry like a little bitch."

Re: Round 1

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor considered his cards, then threw in a hundred as well. "If seeing what I saw this afternoon didn't make me cry, I don't think anything can."

"You are quite the tease," Logan said to Bel. "Raise." He tossed in two $100 bills. "Angelus, you wanna toss me one of those Cubans?"

Angelus reached over for the box and cracked it open. "Lighter? Clippers?"

Re: Round 1

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor looked over to Angelus. "I don't suppose you'll give me one of those."

Logan got a guillotine-style cigar cutter from the cabinet and offered it, along with his Zippo lighter, to Angelus.

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Angelus told Bel, taking the cutter and lighter from Logan gratefully. He snipped the cutter closed a few times, giving Bel a grin. "Just put something of yours in here and I'll be happy to help."

Re: Round 1

[demonbelthazor]

"Might want to think about putting something of yours in there," Belthazor said with a grin of his own. "Might keep you out of trouble."

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't fit," Angelus grinned. "And you damn well know it, Mr. Uses up all the Lube."

Re: Round 1

[demonbelthazor]

"You gonna play the game or what?" Belthazor nodded toward the pot.

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"Would you circumcize that thing already?" Logan asked. "And are you guys in this round, or have you pussied out so soon?"

Re: Round 1

"Good things take time," Angelus said. He took a cigar out of the box and rolled it between his thumb and four fingers, his head tilted, listening. Not satisfied with what he heard he tossed it aside and took out another. This one passed the roll test, then the test of passing it under his nose. Only then did he apply the clippers.

"Here," he said, tossing them to Logan. He also added two hundred to the pot, then busied himself with lighting the cigar. To Bel, he said, "You can bite me. And coming from me that's saying something."

Re: Round 1

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor matched the bet, then peered at Angelus' neck. "Looks like someone already beat me there."

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus gave him a coy look. "Jealous? Jealous?"

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

Logan dealt out the next round face up - a six of diamonds to Angelus, an eight of hearts to Bel and a three of spades to himself.

After the cards were dealt, he helped himself to a cigar. "Who was it?" Logan asked. "Beka again?"

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Haven't hit that in a while," Angelus said, looking at his cards thoughtfully. "Been trying to stay on the straight and narrow with regards to the girl question. Shut up, Bel."

Re: Round 1

[demonbelthazor]

"They're roommates, aren't they?" Belthazor mused, studying his cards. "Wonder if they'll compare notes."

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you," Angelus told Bel, gesturing at him with his phallic symbol cigar.

Re: Round 1

[demonbelthazor]

Promises, promises. "So spill it," Belthazor said. "Did she overpower you? Take shameless advantage of you? Because I know you'd never willingly go there."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"Does this chick have a name, or shall we just call her 'Lilly'?" Logan asked.

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"How many times do I have to tell you that it was a spell?" Angelus said, with the tone of voice of one who knows he has so lost this battle but that Bel's going to be begging on his knees if he wants sex again. He matched the pile, then busied himself with smoke rings.

Re: Round 1

[demonbelthazor]

"I think Angelus should be the one to confess her name," Belthazor said, in answer to Logan's question. And you love it when I beg. He looked at his cards again and frowned. "I fold. Much like he did in the closet."

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Well if anybody would know about being in the closet, pookie Speaking of names," Angelus said, with the studied casualness of someone who actually has a useful conversational segue, "who's Veronica Mars when she's at home?"

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"A pain in the ass," Logan said, tossing his cash into the pot. He dealt out a seven of hearts to himself and a five of clubs to Angelus. "You run into her or something?"
