Escape 04 | video

[electricitytrick]

[Anders has a wide and almost conspiratory grin on his face as the camera clicks on. It's far too easy to guess that he must be up to something, especially as he grabs his NV and gives everyone watching a nice look around the apartment, now with all the furniture put together and a couple of bottles of alcohol (at least one 'borrowed' from Fenris) on the table.]

So! It seems to me that what with some of the things going on, some of us could do with something to try and take our minds off of everything, at least for a little while, yes? And what better way to do that then a friendly game of cards!

[Almost too nonchalantly he continues.] I don't know how many of you are familiar with Wicked Grace, but it's fairly easy to pick up, especially if you have something to play for, like, for example, coin or clothes...?


Not to mention some drinks to keep everything flowing nicely. [There's that grin again.] So, who's interested in getting a little game together, hmm? See what kind of fun we can get up to. We've space here for a decent enough group, I think, and people are encouraged to bring a bit more to drink as well.

And I'm certain my roommates won't mind the idea either! [Because what is asking ahead of time?]

Comments

[thecatcameback]

Oh, a card game. I've played those before... or at least watched them.

I was kind of disappointed there were no real fish involved.

[electricitytrick]

You could help me play, if you like! Maybe not for anything too serious- [Strip Wicked Grace with a cat is something he really doesn't want to think about okay] -but we could just play someone else for fun!

Maybe we could even use fish instead of coin?

[thecatcameback]

If you teach me what the symbols mean I bet I could. But I obviously don't have much to bet...

Oh. Like a can of sardines, maybe?

[electricitytrick]

Maybe a couple of cans! I could teach you the symbols some time, and then we'll play with the sardines, see how many you can win. How's that sound?

[thecatcameback]

I like that idea. Plus, it'll probably be fun to watch.

[A nod... and a smirk.]

I'm good for it. It's been a while since you've owed me coin, mage.

[electricitytrick]

Just coin, is it? Or are you willing to put a little bit more out there, Fenris?

video;

[canavarum]

[A tad suspiciously:] You had something else in mind?

video;

[electricitytrick]

Mmm~ Something I think both Zevran and myself can agree on, not to mention it won't make anyone lose any coin!

[Come on Fenris, surely this is a bit familiar...[

[hejhej]

What's Wicked Grace?

[permavideo]

[electricitytrick]

It's a card game. It's quite fun, good for getting drunk and losing all your coin or clothes. [He laughs.] Or I suppose you might win some, but I don't always have much luck with that.

[awakenings]

[So suspicious of this game.]

What is it and how do you play it?

video;

[electricitytrick]

Its' a card game, and if you like, I'd be happy to teach you. Or I suppose I could just write it up for you, but where would the fun be in that?

video;

[wingedcrown]

Oh, I'm definitely in. I don't really know how to play, though.

video;

[electricitytrick]

It seems like that's something of a common trend, to be honest. Maybe we'll play a few games so everyone gets it first? We don't even have to bet anything.

video;

[wingedcrown]

That's probably fair.

I can bring some drinks, too, so you guys aren't stuck indulging all of us.

[electricitytrick]

And they won't run the risk of being poisoned either, I hope! ...er, will they?

[antedupmyheart]

Count me in.

[electricitytrick]

You were someone I was hoping to see in particular! Not having the chance to get you out of that coat is just a crime, if you ask me.

[antedupmyheart]

We'll have to see if it's in the cards, but it might certainly be worth the effort.

[electricitytrick]

Maybe the cards can get a little nudge, yes? [Hey, he's pretty sure Zevran would be up for helping him cheat for the noble cause of getting attractive people naked faster!]

[bloodyantivan]

[Somewhat grimly.] Ah. I suppose this was a bad day to mix my poisons in the apartment... do beware of about half of the bottles in the icebox.

[He might be joking?]

video;

[electricitytrick]

[Anders eyes some of the bottles suspiciously. At least the one from Fenris' stash is probably safe, right?]

What kinds of poisons are we talking about?

[bloodyantivan]

The finest Crow poisons. Some may make you feel as wonderfully heated as wine, while others will choke the life out of you. A new game - like gambling, don't you think? [He gives an all-too-wide grin.]

[electricitytrick]

That first one doesn't really sound like a poison if you ask me, Zevran. And I'm not so certain our guests are going to much like playing cards with us if half of them get poisoned as well as robbed.
