Poker Night(Open to Sucide Squad)
After his talk with Carolyn about it Dean started running with the idea. He had sent out enough texts, messages, emails, notes, and post-its that it wouldn't take telepathy to know you would have to be lying to say you didn't hear about poker night. Dean had a table set up in the rec room with beer, soda and snacks for people. He was laying down on a couch shuffling cards.

	Carolyn was excited about poker night. She had been looking forward to it since she had talked to Dean about it. She arrived a little early and carried drinks and snacks. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey there," Dean says sitting up still shuffling. "Ready to play some poker?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mano didn't have a clue how one played poker, but free food and drinks? Sign him up! "Where's the beer!?" he asked in a loud, cheerful tone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do we have any Guarana?" Iota asks as she zips in. "And what kind of poker are we playing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jerry gave in to the annoying post-its on the fridge and came to poker. He didn't get what it was for, really he could only see it as some inane team building exercise, or that someone wanted to make money off everyone else. He had the chest piece, for teleporting, of his suit underneath his shirt and jacket, and sat at the table rather than the couch.

"The stuff they put in energy drinks?" Well energy drinks had been his only exposure to the stuff.

	"I'm ready to win," Carolyn said confidently. The only one she didn't have a chance against was her brother. The two of them could read each other well enough that they couldn't hide anything from each other. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not the American stuff," Iota tells Jerry. "I was looking for regular guarana soda. It's okay if there isn't any, though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Beer's in the fridge and can you toss me one," Dean says, "And I didn't buy any of that kind of soda but you can check for yourself if you like." "You don't know if lady luck is on your side yet," Dean says to Carolyn. "But this is going to be classic five-card draw poker for now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mano carefully opens the refrigerator, he broke the door last time, before grabbing a six pack. gingerly takes one off and hands it to Dean. The other five he doesn't look like he'll be parting with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jerry shrugged, he didn't know where you'd buy that soda then anyway. "Five card draw works," he said, choosing not to say anything about the, either overconfident or arrogant, he couldn't decide, declaration from the snake chick. He privately hoped her pet wasn't poisonous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Devony finally showed up...she found all the different messages as a form of a game. She spent most of her time collecting any notes she could find and even printed out the ones via email and texts....yes she is odd.

She skips into the room happily, bringing what she collected and her share of snacks. "Hiiiiiiiiii!" She said joyously, moving over to the girls first (of course resting down the stuff she had on her hands/arms) then gives the girls a hug each before moving to the guys.

	"Works for me," Carolyn said as she grabbed a chair. She wondered where Tomas was for a moment and then decided she didn't want to know. He was probably out with the spoiled rich girl or messing around with The Bat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dean grabbed the beer and took a sip while still shuffling the deck of cards with one hand as he made his way to the table. "Hey Devony," He says to her after her surprise hug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2013-08-28 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, this was new. Girl suddenly in his personal space. What was he supposed to do? Eat her? No, he was pretty sure that would be frowned on. "Um..hey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hungerstrike 2013-08-28 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Ola," tells Devony, hugging back. She also doesn't bring up to one cousin where the other might be. Iota's not the brightest crayon in the box, but she's got some sense. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dread_bolt 2013-08-29 10:25 am UTC (link)
	He doesn't move away from the hug, but he doesn't return it either, just gives her a nod of acknowledgement and sits through it, figuring it best to let the odd chick do her thing. "Do we have chips or are we just using straight money?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firecracker_ 2013-08-29 11:56 am UTC (link)
	"Hola!" She responds back to Iota. "Cómo estás hoy, Iota?" Devony beams with a bright smile to Iota. She knew everyone had trouble dealing with her odd ways...at least they don't push her away or tell her off. "What game are we playing?" Devony asks, sitting next to Jerry for a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2013-08-30 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Poker," Carolyn said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	its_a_living 2013-09-01 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Chips for now," Dean says grinning to Jerry, "Straight money when things start to get interesting." "You know how to play right," He asks Devony. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2013-09-02 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"Only chips I know are the ones you eat," Mano said with a shrug, opening and proceeding to drink a whole can of beer easily and quickly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Devony smiles at Carolyn. She wasn't good with card games, as a matter of fact her mother never allowed her to touch cards for some odd reason. "Not really..Mama never allowed me. Since Mama isn't around you can teach me!" She said happily quickly moving over to Dean. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dread_bolt 2013-09-03 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	That was probably for the best considering a few people here didn't know how to play he figured. And he could always leave before they started with real money, or just exit the game to watch. Lot like he had a lot of free cash now that his more illegal ways of getting it were cut off due to this stupid suicide squad stint. "Sure, sounds fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's easy," Carolyn said to Devony. "You'll pick it up quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tomas shows up somewhat late, but it doesn't look like the dealing has started. He nods to his sister, and then takes a seat in her peripheral vision. If they can see each other too easily, there's too much temptation to either cheat or accidentally pick up on each other's hands.

The former would be less of an issue if Iota didn't know about the possibility, of course.

	Carolyn nodded to her brother. She was still unhappy about the Bats stuff and she knew Tomas knew how she felt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
