Pot Luck or Lose?

[Kray]

Mina took his words for what they had been so that was good. "Hm. Sure it's my wheel house something I'm good at, but it never hurts to learn. Or get some practice in." Creatures of faerie be it themselves or the hobs made deals, and being able to work good advantageous prices into the mix was a fine thing to be able to do.

Circe gets his toothy grin, the one that looks mean not matter what his actual mood is. "Ha. But telling you would spoil the fun of you finding out." It also assumed he knew what his own tells were, which with how Ogres could lose their composure over not all that much might be harder then first thought.

Picking up his new cards. "Uh. Thanks." Then sliding two more face down over to the spring queen. "Oh. And these for round two." More chips are added to the pile in the middle making it clear he playing on.

[Mina]

“Then we have to add those to the list as well! Do you think having a chip night should go with a movie night? Or another game night Circe? You recommended the dips after all, so I’m curious what you think would be the best entertainment!” looking to the Summer.

“But if we share our tells, would you share your tells?” asks the doll. “Plus, wouldn’t telling them take away the fun of the game?” big, mismatched eyes looking to the elf.

“Do we need to add those to list as well? Oh! I got it, you know at some bars you have flights of beer? How about we have flights of chips and dips?! I know, probably a bit lame, but it could be fun.” Maybe?

Nodding to Kray, letting him know she accepted what was said and wasn’t adding anything else. She learned not to argue with him on this topic.

Glancing down at her cards, seeming to debate her next move, she decides to discard two more cards as well, and also puts more chips in. Was it the right call? Eh, but, she was learning. And part of learning was making wrong calls.

[Circe]

Circe hums in agreement with Sonja. Simple works well. And chuckles as Kray talks about business acumen. Or Pledgecraft. Legalese? They did kind of crossover, probably why so few Lost we lawyers going in maybe? Was that a legit statistic? Eh, she shrugs.

"And spoilage is bad save for dairy. Then you get cheese," Circe nods firmly in response to Kray's jest. She doesn't mention the prior spoken of Italian fish paste with spoilage. Probably a jest. "Eh, we could just lie about the tells Mina. Up front or by acting to make the game interesting," though she didn't say if she would be telling her tells. The answer was likely no. Then there was always the option to play a round of best cheat. The poker game where everyone is cheating and the one to cheat the best is the winner.

Didn't go over well unless everyone was a good sport that was in on it.

Circe winces at the idea of flights of chips, from a homeowners persepective. Throw in the beer and she could quite easily see Mina or Sonja "sending" flights of chips across her living room. Though she'd a solution for that. "If we do flying chips, I am not hosting." A very blunt declaration as she checks her new cards. Then chuckles, "And then I can suggest platters for arrangement of chips."

And only swaps out 1 card after a moment of thought. The rest seemed fine, ish, to her. "Win win, lose fighting don't count, tis fun!"

[Sonnie Wu]

Ever flexible, Sonnie was now... holding her cards with one foot, her dexterous toes acting like fingers. This left her hands free to hold and manipulate her food! It was good to be a monkey!

What about the poker chips? She had to ante up! Well, this is what her tail was for! Plastic chips were tossed into the pot, then replacement cards were dealt out. That tail was useful and not just fashionable!

"A movie night requires popcorn, but chips would be a welcome addition!" The Beast nodded sagely. This was a common sense fact, truly.

[Kray]

Choosing a final card to pass back over, still face down, the ogre also puts his final wager of the round into the pot. "Uh And this for my last thanks." Now if this had been real money or actual stakes would he have been so caviler about his betting choices? Well that will depend on if he has anything in hand. "Hm. Still on the look out to try some of the moldy cheese." He responds to Circe's jest about spoilage. It was one of the upper class things he had never been able to afford before, and now he had the money well it wasn't his go to, not yet anyway. "Ah. But spoiled food is only just a bit worse then a spoiled game, so don't go cheating yourself now." Because who really lost when cheating at a game. "Ha. And really who needs to lie, no one said we can't use magic after all." And that made for a vastly more entertaining array of possibilities for a card game.

[Circe]

Well, if you are the fondue for cheese, I can brie-ly suggest a gouda option is a Rind restaurant." Not a pun, an actual cheese specific place she drove by once. Yet is sounds like a pun, which makes fun.



Was Kray suggesting that they all willingly cheat at this game? "So, like, however cheats best wins for cheating fair and square? I love that game Kray! Oh ho ho ho! Usually only play for snacks though. My kind of crowd wouldn't survive doing it for coin."

It did sound entertaining to play and was very amusing to watch. She'd have fun for sure.
