Chaucer's, Thursday Night

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

[This is the thread for the gambling party meeting at Chaucer's Thursday night. The door is open, if you feel up to losing a little money, come in anytime. As long as there are at least two people, the games are on. Geoff will be by sometime in the RL evening ET.]

[EDIT: The game has been cancelled due to an outbreak of maniacal brawling. Anyone who wants to stop by and sympathize with Geoff and Shane will find them here.]

[OOC: Oops. Fixed now. Thanks!]

Manny slopes off work an hour early, leaving Bernard (asleep at the till) to look after the shop.

He pops into a shop and picks up a bottle of Old Horizontal on his way over to Chaucer's.

Before he enters Chaucer's shop, he mentally catalogues himself. Bottle -- yes. Money -- yes. Lucky underpants -- check. He's ready.

He goes in.

"Manny! I'm glad you could make it." Geoff offers his hand.

Hey all.. what we playin tonight?

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"Good to see you again, Jayne. I doubt you and I know the same sorts of games, but how do you feel about dice?"

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia knocks on the door. "This where the poker is?"

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Geoff grins at her from across the room. "Door's open." Realizing he speaking to a woman, he jumps up from his chair and walks over. "Geoff Chaucer, very pleased to meet you."


[OOC: I have no idea when or if the other two guys are "coming back". We may end up playing in slow-time. So, for now, I'm going to say that either they're both here and being very rude, or they left and will come back later. 'Kay?]

*Paige walks in with Piper and their way upstairs (http://www.livejournal.com/users/the4thsister/7247.html?view=137295#t137295)* She gives Geoff a quick kiss on the cheek and whispers in his ear* Don't take too much of these nice people's money will you baby and if you want me just call.

*She waves to Maia and they go up*

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*Wave and smiles at Paige then sits down at the table*

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

*He grins and returns Paige's kiss.* Don't plot too much trouble, all right?

Much later, after Shane has gotten off work...

Injured hands tucked into the pockets of her hoodie, Shane approaches a non-descript alley and leans to one side, noting the sign on the wall. Geoff's name along with a rather ornate arrow pointing to the right, directing the person further down into the alley.

A smile tugging at her lips, she keeps an eye out for a lighted window as she goes, occasionally dodging a rat or a stray cat fishing through the trash. Finally, she thinks she's found the right door. She can see through the curtain-covered windows that there are lights on inside and she can hear chatting voices. Leaning to one side to take a closer look at the door, she grins as she sees a small plaque hanging on the door by a nail, the words on it written in the same kind of elaborate script. "Chaucer's: Poetical Acquisitions and Honorable Gaming Establishment."

She reaches for the doorknob and turns it, poking her head inside to look around. "Geoff?" She calls out.

"Shane! Get in here!" Geoff calls from a table where he's playing cards with Maia.


[OOC: I'm going to move the thread with Maia down here. We'll play in fluid time, because otherwise I'll go nuts trying to manage all the threads.]

*Walks in, one arm wrapped around persian_eunuch's waist*

Hi Chaucer. what's the game tonight?

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"C'mon in Solo. Blackjack right now, unless you'd like to suggest something else." He smiles at Han's date. "Can I make the assumption this is Bagoas?"

[silent-robert.livejournal.com]

Jay and Silent Bob wander in. "Hey bitches!" Jay yells. "Any sexy ladies in here?"

Bob leans against the wall next to the door, smoking a cigarette. He rolls his eyes at Jay's antics, then wanders toward the table.

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Several, but they all appear to be taken.

*to Bob*
You in? The game is twenty-one.

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Geoff nods at the newcomers. "Introduce yourselves and grab a seat. But no language like that while there are ladies present."

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

[OOC: New thread for the game appearing shortly at the bottom. Geoff will deal.]

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

[OOC: New thread for the game. Blackjack.]

Geoff deals two cards each to Han, Shane, Maia, and himself. He looks at Bagoas and smiles. "Would you like to play? If not, you're welcome to watch, or Paige and her sister are upstairs if you'd rather visit with them."

He turns to Jay and Silent Bob. "Playing or leaving?"

[OOC: Mun will mod for Maia until she returns.]

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Shane arches her eyebrows at the rather mouthy new arrival, glancing over at Silent Bob to offer him a friendly nod and a smile as she pulls her cigarettes out of the pocket of her hoodie. She shakes a cigarette out of the pack and lights it.

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

All hands dealt.

Han takes a card.

Shane stays.

Jayne stays.

Geoff takes a card.

Maia stays.

Han raises the pot by the minimun.

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Jay also takes a card.

"Anyone else need cards? Han has raised, everyone still in?"

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Geoff puts in a few coins, as does Maia.

All players are still in. Anyone care to raise again?

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

sure *tosses in a few more coin*

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"All right, any more raises? Anyone want to fold or call?"

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Calling

*turns over cards*

A package arrives from Campus along with a note.

Geoff,

Sorry, but I can't make it tonight. Something came up. However enjoy the hooch. It's not mudder's milk, but I bet Jayne will like it anyway.

~M


Inside the package there are four bottles of:

Marty receives a note in return.

Marty, I'm sorry you couldn't make it. I think it's going to turn into a brawl anyway. Thanks for the gift, though.

Geoff

[Ack, you guys are all NUTS! :D Post here what you're doing, so I can straighten all of this out, okay?]

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

At the moment, I seem to be on my knees, on the floor, nursing broken ribs, a bloody nose, and maybe some broken fingers. And I'm still shooting off my mouth, because it's the last weapon I got.
