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.

	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)

	"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.

	"Poker," Carolyn said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	"Well these are the chips we'll be using," Dean says pointing to the poker chips on the table. "Yeah I can teach you the basics of the game if you need it. It's pretty simple to learn," He says grinning at Devony. "Glad you could make it dude," He says to Tomas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Devony looked to the chips Dean pointed at. Quickly nods her head. "Really?! I'm happy..." She says grinning back brightly. "If Sharky can play, so can I easily!" "Tomas!" Devony quickly goes over to him his hug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mano's eyes narrowed in annoyance. "Okay,. I'm a shark, yes, but don't call me Sharky. That sounds like the name of a cartoon character. Second, what are you implying? THat if I can do something then it's easy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tomas takes the hug, lifting Devony and spinning her about once. "Relax, its just Devony, don't let her get under your skin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Devony giggled when Tomas lifted her up, giving her a little spin about.

She looks over to Mano, suddenly fearing for her life..."No, no! I give everyone nicknames here. I wanted you to feel special too?" She said tilting her head to the side.

"I was not implying anything at all. Sharks have great intelligence! I believe you'd be more smarter than I in many ways." She bounces off Tomas to give Mano a big hug. "Forgive me. I'm not all there..." She release her hold on him and moves back to Tomas for a bit.

He wondered when people had gotten that chummy, Devony he expected to act like that, but he was suspicious of Tomas.

"Lay off, she's just like that," he rolled his eyes at 'Sharky'. He couldn't say 'she's harmless' because frankly she wasn't, but she gave everyone names, annoying as that could be.

At least Mano had hands to hold the cards, otherwise this would be weird. "Are we going to start anytime?"

	"Sure thing," Dean says dividing up the chips for everyone. "Everyone take a seat and I'll start dealing out the cards. Devony I can start explaining the rules of how to play if you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She looked over to Jerry with a bright smile. "Yes, yes! Let's staaaart." She pats Tomas on the head and quickly moves over to Dean. "Yes, Sir! I'm ready to learn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mano decided to let it go for now. After all, he could always eat her later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Beer? I've never had beer before...kind of like juice right?" She looked at everyone, then over to where Iota. "I would like to try one!" She eagerly asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We've got plenty of beer in the fridge," Dean says grinning and downing the rest of his current beer, "But I could definitely use another one." "It's not exactly juice but it is fun and awesome," Dean tells Devony while explaining poker basics to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
