[Day 359] Poker Mingle/Closed
[Poker night at Kitty's place in sector 4! She has them set up at the kitchen table with cards and poker chips. There's a variety of snacks set up along the counters—pretzels, chips, dips, pizza rolls, meatballs with toothpicks, etc. There's also some pie because Chuck is here! Ice cream in the freezer since Kitty lives here. You'll also find water, sodas, wine, and beer. Stay hydrated!

There's also a living room with comfortable seating for taking breaks or relaxing after the game. If you're going to snoop you might find a Nathan hiding out in his room or peek through a partially opened door to see Kitty's room. It's very utilitarian—no decorations, generally clean though there are stacks of books, tech, and clothes here and there. For anyone who visited other apartments she's had they were a little warmer and included more personal touches. Nothing too exciting to find in the bathroom, you perv!]

(OOC: Invitees tag in mingle style.)

	I couldn't be more sure of what kind of hand you were holding if you just showed it to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All that means is that you have gained psychic powers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mutations do sometimes continue to mutate. And yet I think there's a simpler answer here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-22 05:27 am UTC (link)
	The answer is that I'm far better at Svoi Kozyri than at poker. [A decisive nod. Yes, this is the answer.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-22 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Okay, next time we'll have Svoi Kozyri night at your place. [Did you see what just happened there?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-22 05:33 am UTC (link)
	Yes, good, but it's a game for two people. Do game nights count if there are only two people? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-22 05:35 am UTC (link)
	[Usually those are called dates, but she's not going to say that. She didn't really realize it was a two-person game when she suggested it.] Sure they are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-22 06:14 am UTC (link)
	Then we will do that. [It might occur to him later that that sounds like a date. Not now, though.] But tonight, you should teach me to play this game more effectively. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-22 01:18 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, for starters? You have to make that expressive face of yours less expressive. When you get a good hand you can't light up. [Even if it's adorable.] Same with looking disappointed at a bad hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-22 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Kitty, I have had twenty years to learn to control my face with no success. You ask a lot of me. [He picks up the cards and begins shuffling them.] Help me practice? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-23 12:06 am UTC (link)
	Okay, first you should just pout your lips and narrow your eyes and then try to wiggle your nose while you look at your cards. It'll throw everyone off. [Hey, it could.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-23 06:02 am UTC (link)
	[He knows she's messing with him. Regardless, he puts the cards down, pouts, narrows his eyes, and wiggles his nose (with some skill, actually—it's a talent.) Come on, Kitty. Are you thrown yet?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-23 06:24 am UTC (link)
	[Oh, sir, you have earned a laugh. Yes, actual Kitty laughter is happening. She's enjoying herself. Who knew she even remembered how?] How are you real? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-23 07:20 am UTC (link)
	[Okay, he can't keep that up while laughing.] I ask myself this all the time. Is it a strategy worth trying? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-23 07:23 am UTC (link)
	I really hope so. I wouldn't know how to bet against you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-24 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Then I will do it. Try not to laugh too much or you will give me away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-24 04:16 am UTC (link)
	You aren't really? [She doesn't know if this is the best idea or the worst.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-24 07:01 am UTC (link)
	I am really. [It's the best. He probably still won't win, but it should at least weird everyone out.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-24 07:03 am UTC (link)
	I'm suddenly even more glad I invited you. [Always making her smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-24 07:40 am UTC (link)
	I'm happy to entertain. [He wants to protect that smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-24 07:41 am UTC (link)
	[It's like her lips have their very own knight.] You do more than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-24 07:58 am UTC (link)
	Then I'm happy for that, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-24 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles and ducks her head, as if to hide it.] Oh, we're low on chips. I should put out some more. (Reply to this) (Parent)
