I13DT - Surprise Party

by **Laura Weston** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 1:06 pm

"No," said Laura, schooling her eyebrow back into place.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 1:47 pm

Kevin raised a hand.

"Does he stay as chips?'

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 4:30 pm

"I guess if he wants to try being objects more, we could just keep him in our pockets?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 5:26 pm

"Well, that would be up to you, you see? You can have him do other things just as easily, unless you're in desperate need of poker chips.

Now, there is only one brain, so split multiple ways, he might be a little..." she trailed off.

"Wait, what? Legion was fine..." Will countered.

"He had experience, which you're working on," Mira clarified.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 5:36 pm

"Also Legion was... a giant vat creature."

"...I mean, I suppose the vat was cozy and all, but..."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 5:42 pm

"And it was put through it's paces much more...roughly. But that means it had experience you don't, Will, so you can't expect to have the same results immediately."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 7:29 pm

"Well, I'm up for it," Bear said, maybe a little unexpectedly.

"I'll give my spoils a good home."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:18 pm

"You'll have to beat Sara for it," Will grinned. "She's really good at poker. I have faith she'll clean you all out."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:19 pm

"Oh, yes. Stone face. Can't tell when she's bluffing."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:38 pm

Bear giggled at that.

"So, I'll assume power use is out."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:40 pm

Altamira did shifty-eyes for a minute.

"Oh, fine. I thought I had a loophole there."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:46 pm

"Yeah... no reading minds Mira," Kevin teased.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:52 pm

"Hey, I'm more worried about Janice giving everybody terrible hands." Sara chuckles.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:58 pm

"I could have cut the cards though," Kevin smirked.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 9:26 pm

"Fine so no powers at all then." she smirks.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 9:40 pm

"Except for Will, of course," Mira joked, turning around and bopping Will on the head.

Where Will once stood, hundreds of poker chips showered down to the floor, in a variety of colors. Mira levitated them and brought them over towards the table.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 10:04 pm

The chips had Will's face on the front, flattened and smooshed against the top. The flipside indicated the value, and had the outline of Will's feet.

"Always the showoff. I don't think he can do anything right now because this is probably the first time his consciousness has been split over such a wide area."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 10:21 pm

"...woah."

Bear was expecting it, but the initial shock at seeing will splintered like that was still very un-groovy.

by **Laura Weston** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 9:54 am

"Okay, let's do this," Laura said, sitting down at the table.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 9:55 am

"I really hope these chip feet aren't ticklish," Kevin said as he also sat.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:38 pm

"Some of them probably are."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:39 pm

"I don't know how you'd tell," she says as she sits down.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:45 pm

"I'd just like to point out that this makes no biological sense." she chuckles as she sits down and pulls over her share of chips.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:47 pm

"I could probably tell, but I promise no powers, remember?" she grinned.

by **Laura Weston** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:49 pm

"Most of the people at this table make no biological sense."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:56 pm

"Sure they do, but I'm not going to bore everyone with a lecture on mutant biology."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 7:29 pm

Bear pulled over her "chips", not even certain how to touch them properly.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 9:02 pm

"They won't bite," Mira said, dealing out the cards.

"Hold 'em. Nothing wild, no limit."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 3:15 pm

About an hour in, chips had traded hands several times, and Mira was shoving yet more into the middle with a strong hand.

She had been doing....rather poorly, actually, as her stack had diminished quite a bit from it's original prominence.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 6:11 pm

Even without an actual stone face Sara did pretty well. After all, she has some experience in winning people in Poker games . And so she ends up with a little under twice of what she started with.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 6:48 pm

Kevin was faring little better than his cosmic girlfriend. He was better with cards that had health points.

by **Laura Weston** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 7:02 pm

For someone who was supposedly good at reading people, Laura was bad at cards. Or she might just be hustling everyone. It was hard to tell.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 8:35 pm

Bear ground out her game, doing her best to read the others, and keep her own play as conservative as possible. The time for craziness was later.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 12:32 pm

Janice is doing reasonably well for herself, to the point that she had to assure a couple of times that she wasn't using her powers.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 1:29 pm

"How much longer do we have?" Mira asked, looking at a clock.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 2:18 pm

"Getting nervous?" Sara smirks.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 2:25 pm

"Oh, be smug for now. Your luck will change," Mira said, shuffling her diminished chip stack.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 3:58 pm

Kevin perked up for a split second after drawing cards. Terrible poker face.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 5:53 pm

"You're just a sore loser, that's all." Sara continues to taunt the force of creation.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 6:08 pm

"Oh, no, not at all. Games are one of the few areas I get to relax."
