Day 11 - Aint no party like a poker party

[assent]

[ There was definitely something like a weight being lifted after finding out about what had happened to her before, and while she definitely does want to think about it more properly later (especially after speaking to Mikan) she had promised an evening to try and lighten the mood after what today's event was.

A bit like a TLC party where they could maybe not be upset for once and have a good time.

Her room has been shifted around to reflect this. The desk has been pulled out in front of the bottom of the bed so one person can sit at that corner. The chair from the desk is on another side and the love sac Yusuke gave her as a gift from that event is on the other. On the floor in the corner are a bunch of bottles of different wines, with a bucket to the side with ice for the whites.

There are two packs of cards on the table, too. Just so they can change decks here and there like they do in the movies. (Also because she knows Allen is a cheater smh)

The last touch before they arrive is actually a Lot more embarrassing and she has to work up the courage to do it. It had taken a while in the prop room for her to find anything that looked anything like what a girl in a casino could wear that was a little more... risque but.

She settles on this and pulls a trench coat on top of it to save herself the embarrassment from the start. She also hung up a spare outfit in her bathroom just in case she chickens out as soon as they're there, too, because this is Not Something she would normally do at all.

Now it's just a question of sitting and waiting, really. ]

[what a good Rin who forgets these things.

he finishes pouring and takes the glass for him in one hand while watching the cards get cut.]

You're doing great so far, Sonia.

[assent]

[ To be fair, she's also forgotten now they're both there and she's still wearing this outfit under the coat. She's too embarassed and trying to pretend she isn't to think about the cheating now. ]

Ah-- Thank you. [ She'll deal out one round of cards, then another until they all have 5 each. She doesn't pick hers up yet though, doing it as how Tohsaka showed her but also because it's her turn to pour her drink. ]

Would you like to discard any?

[flamingprick]

[Rin scoops up his cards and looks at them for a moment before tossing two down to pass back.]

That'll be good for me.

[He looks up to wait for his cards, though he sees that Sonia hasn't picked up hers and now he's watching her curiously. What is she up to?]

[lefthandpath]

[h-hm...

puts down two also to trade in.]

So... is this a practice round? Or will there be betting?

[Allen Walker: card shark who is all about them bets.]

[assent]

[ She'll give them both two new cards each, taking a sip (more like a gulp) of her drink because. Well. ]

There will be betting, will there not? [ That's to Rin. ] I believe you had something in mind yesterday before we became preoccupied?

[ She's going to look at her cards now though, hopefully this was how Tohsaka did it she's Doing Her Best. ]

[flamingprick]

Yeah, we were gonna do clothes, right? It might be more fair now too, since Allen and I don't have like a million layers.

[Sorry guys, he's just like this.]

[lefthandpath]

[i mean... not wrong.

but also like. going red in the cheeks because look, he's gotten men down to their underwear plenty of times, but not. ladies.]

... that sounds like a good bet. One article per round? Or can we up the ante?

[assent]

I came prepared as well.

[ Meaning the coat she's got on, covering... what she's wearing. Also accessories. ]

I can agree to upping the ante if you would like? Rin?

[ Your call here, as she clearly discards two cards as well, picking up two others in a way that shows she's being fair here. Besides that, she hasn't changed expressions at all, keeping a small, simple smile on her lips. ]

[flamingprick]

Sure. We can start with one, but if you want to bet more, you can.

[Though knowing how he gets into games, he'll probably end up betting too much and end up down to his boxers in like three hands. Whoops. At least he's comfortable enough around Allen and Sonia that it wouldn't bother him.]

[lefthandpath]

Haa... Rin's going to be the first one out of clothes, then.

[doesn't even prevent the kind of teasing malicious look that crosses his face at that.]

[assent]

[ She does actually look sheepish at that. Poor Rin... ]

Um, well... I am very new to the game as well so it could be either of us.

Speaking of which, as I do not remember who shows their cards first, me or the both of you...?

[flamingprick]

I think we can all show at the same time.

[Rin has a pair of jacks and some other random cards.]

And don't get too cocky Allen, we can still beat you.

[lefthandpath]

I'm sure you'll try your best.

[pair of threes and a trio of sevens]

Full House, sevens over threes.

[assent]

Sometimes trying is all that matters.

[ Not this time though, apparently. She has three two's, an eight and a six. ]

Though it seems you do take the first round.

[flamingprick]

[Rin just goes ahead and tosses a shoe aside. He's not betting big yet, nope.]

It's just the start, we'll be fine. I'll take the next round.

[lefthandpath]

Please continue to do your best, Rin!

[but he's already folding his cards and passing them back over to Sonia.]

[assent]

[ Sonia is pulling off her first shoe as well, a lot more gracefully than Rin in that she places it next to the bed upright.

Then, she'll take the cards and put them aside. ]

Round two, then.

[ She'll deal out the cards again, not needing to shuffle this time as they still have plenty of deck left. ]

[flamingprick]

[And he immediately scowls as he throws three cards back. This hand might not be a winner for him either.]
