[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!]

	Yeah, I noticed that. [Tough break, buddy.] Not as reliably as pool, but it usually gets the job done. And there's a method to it. [You have to start by pretending to be as bad as Chekov.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He brightens.] Is that method hustling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-22 05:31 am UTC (link)
	[Why are you brightening for that?] You know it? ...Are you doing it tonight? You know it's not real money, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-22 05:40 am UTC (link)
	No, I know the money is fake, and I only learned how to hustle at pool. [He's good at pool. He's just as bad as poker as he seems.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't know you played pool on.........on your ship. [Not your TV show.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-22 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Not on the ship, no. I learned to play that in the City. It was another prison, and a friend tried very hard to teach me to be more dishonest. [He didn't do a great job.] ...Did I tell you that I was on a ship, or have you also seen me in a show? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-22 05:50 am UTC (link)
	I was going to say I'd heard it around, but I guess I should just go with the show if you already know about it. Plus, apparently, not mentioning that kind of thing is getting people punched now. [Though he's also curious about "the City" and wants to come back to that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-22 06:23 am UTC (link)
	No one is getting punched by me. [This punching thing is new to him. He hasn't chatted with Reid yet, although the very visible black eye is a good indicator that he was involved in this incident.] I'm only curious about this show, not offended. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-22 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	Good to hear. [He's really not afraid of being punched.] I only really watched it when other people were watching. You don't look like the person I remember playing Chekov though, but the name's the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-23 12:06 am UTC (link)
	[He should be afraid. Look at this kid. Imagine the kind of punch he could deliver.] No, I know that I look different. My universe is a different one from that one, created by the incursion of an angry Romulan into the timeline that I inhabit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 12:58 am UTC (link)
	[Yes, that's terrifying.] Oh. Sure. I guess that would...do that. [No, how does that work?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-23 06:08 am UTC (link)
	No, it makes no sense that it would have changed my appearance as dramatically as it did. I assume that Nero is only a single point of divergence; there are differences between the universes that his interference cannot account for. Many things remain mysterious. [And, without a proper pause to indicate that he's shifting mental gears:] Do you know everyone here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 06:20 am UTC (link)
	[He is nodding along and then suddenly a conversation offramp appears!] Uh, some better than others, but yeah I know everyone. Actually, it's kind of hard not to know everyone when you've been here as long as I have. What about you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-23 07:19 am UTC (link)
	Ah. I know everyone here by reputation, at least. [He keeps tabs on what everyone posts. Is that creepy?] How long have you been here? Longer than Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 07:22 am UTC (link)
	[Do you have a journal where you write about them? Because Sam does.] No, she's one of the only people I know who has been here longer. I showed up on day 74. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-24 12:55 am UTC (link)
	[No, but that would be an idea. Then they could compare notes!] Two-hundred eighty-five days? You have been here for longer than most. You were in the prison before this one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-24 05:51 am UTC (link)
	[He doesn't bring it up a lot because...it's creepy to spy on your neighbors, but it's useful for the investigative team.] I was. It was structured a little differently, but there were a lot of similarities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-24 07:00 am UTC (link)
	But it was a real prison, correct? There was evidence to suggest that it wasn't a virtual reality? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-24 07:02 am UTC (link)
	No, actually, the first sign that it wasn't real happened there. It seems like it's been virtual from the start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-24 07:55 am UTC (link)
	I didn't know this, thank you. I will want to ask you more questions, Sam, but I think that they can wait. You should be trying to win my money right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-24 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, we could compare notes sometime for the team. [But do you really think he's going to have to try and win your money?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-25 01:54 am UTC (link)
	I would also like to tell you about my ideas for escaping, if you're willing to listen. [Later. Right now, he's reaching for the cards. Sam isn't even ready for his new and improved poker face.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-25 07:00 am UTC (link)
	I am always willing to listen to ideas for escape. [He kind of wants to do it right now since it was brought up, but he'll do this card thing and...] What are you doing? [With your face. There is something wrong with your face.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-01-25 07:43 am UTC (link)
	This is my poker face. [Still doing it. Yes, he knows it's ridiculous and no, he doesn't really care.] Is it effective? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
