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.

Angelus smirked. "Are you this obliging to all the dead boys or is it just my innate charisma?"

In response to the question, he said, "I allowed my sire to dictate when my father should die. It was a mistake. I'm not one for regrets, but if I was that would probably be one of them."

"Just you, baby," Logan said. "What's a sire?"

"I'm touched," Angelus put a hand to his chest, mimicking being flattered. More seriously he said, "The vampire who turns you. Or sires you, because my people are nothing if not redundant with their vocabulary."

Re: Round 1

"Who was that for you? How did it happen?" Logan asked, leaning forward a little.

"Her name was Darla," a look of nostalgia and fondness shaped his face. "Met her in an alley when I was out and about enjoying the finer pleasures of life. Which for me meant as much women, gambling, and booze as I could get my hands on. I'd never seen a lady so fine or lovely. She offered to show me the world. I took her up on it."

"And she told you to kill your father?" Logan asked. He drew up one leg onto the deck chair and rested his chin on his knee, looking out over the water.

Re: Round 1

"It was one of the first things she suggested when I crawled out of my grave," Angelus confirmed.

Re: Round 1

"Is that a standard hazing ritual for new vampires?" Logan asked.

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Depends," Angelus said. "Some like the ceremony, others don't care. I come from a family that often likes the ceremony. Then again I come from a family that likes living underground and only interacting with humans if that means you're going to kill them. You can see how I'm something of a rebel."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"You really consider them your family?" Logan asked, turning his head to look at Angelus.

Re: Round 1

"Of course," Angelus looked perplexed that anyone would think otherwise. "Darla and I spent 150 years together. All the others who traveled with us, and the ones that we made - they were special. Chosen because we wanted them. Because we saw something in them that nobody else could see. Well," he amended, "except for the ones who Dru made but after a while you learned to put up with them."

"That's awesome," Logan said.

Re: Round 1

Angelus smirked. "Logan, have you perhaps lost the battle against that bottle of whiskey?"

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"Never," Logan said with a wink. He looked down at his empty glass, frowned, picked it up, and attempted to stand.

Vampire reflexes meant Angelus's hands were there to catch him before the floor beat him to it.

"Of course," Angelus said. "I'd never suggest otherwise. But perhaps it's time for me to call it a night. I need to take Bel home before he becomes cranky and overtired."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

Logan nodded thoughtfully, and kept on nodding for a moment. "Right," he said, bracing himself up against the wall. "We should do this again sometime. And next time we can actually play more than one hand." He smiled ruefully at Angelus.

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I'm considering that a promise," Angelus told him. "Now how's about we put you to bed?"

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"Why, Angelus, are you trying to take advantage of my inebriated state?" Logan grinned. "Actually, think I can make it to my room from here. Been there before, you see." He offered his hand for a handshake.

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Fair enough," Angelus offered his own hand out in return.

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"Later, man," Logan said as they did their special handshake. He pushed himself away from the wall and staggered towards his room.

Angelus watched him go, then went to collect Bel so they could return to the dorms before sunrise.
