Who: Molly Black and OPEN!
What: A bit of evening entertainment. Ladies and gentlemen: Poker night!
When: 10:00 PM,
Where: Ski Lodge common area
Why: Molly decided that some entertainment is required for an evening. Complete with spiked hot chocolate!
There was something almost peaceful about being in this place. The ski lodge had been nice for the first week they'd been here, but now, as the days moved on, she agreed a bit with the young man who had posted earlier. Relaxing was good, but in Molly's own head, aside for the usual family mischief that she had come to expect and look forward to, there was very little going on. Though not always a bad thing, Molly found herself getting a bit restless. And it had been that restlessness that had caused her to seek out a possible solution.
It was Friday. Or so the calendar said. Friday in the middle of winter shortly before Christmas. For Molly, this was the busy season. Her days were spent with her children or in the kitchen, watching over her family or watching over her assistants as they prepared the treats that their occupations demanded. Molly's business did well during the winter months: between the Holidays and the new year, there was so much to do that often Molly wondered how she managed to keep all the plates afloat. But then, there were the rare moments when all the work was done, there were no more orders for the evening, the staff went home, and she was able to really relax. Sit back, with friends, play some cards, sip a cup of cocoa and just enjoy.
It was almost tradition. Cold calm nights. A deck of playing cards, some 'special' cocoa. Molly had managed to find a deck of playing cards and had set up in the common area around one of the tables. She sat there shuffling the cards, almost absentmindedly, while next to her was a thurmos of cocoa that she had made herself, and hot cups.
Seven shuffles. That's what it took to fully mesh the cards into random order. Molly usually did more, but tonight it seemed to be enough. To practice she started dealing for four people, almost as if trying to perfect her technique. Just a warm up to get her hands ready, before bringing the cards in and shuffling again.
