Card Games and Table Talk (Mature/Request to Join)

[Darian Dumonte]

OOC: This thread you have to ask me in advance if you want in due to the limited card table space. If you aren't going to play cards but, still want in let me know. The humor will be interesting to say the least. The cards will be kept up by me using an RL deck.

Darian leaned back in his chair as he shuffled a card deck letting the cards move through his dexterous fingers and he leaned back in his chair some more. Cards. It's been awhile since he last sat down and played a card game. He shuffled the deck some more as he was considering what he had to do. This would be interesting to say the least. In card games you could really learn about people as you sat down and relaxed in one of the most classic activities. An activity that has been around since card playing became popular in early monarchies. A popular form of entertainment that required wit and cunning. Not to mention the ability to socialize and keep yourself balanced.

This was something that Darian liked as he shuffled the cards again having invited a few people to this game. After all it wasn't fun if you played the game by yourself you know. The table was a large blue velvet covered table that was used back in the old gambling days. Somehow the academy had acquired one of these tables and placed it one of the spare rooms. Darian had taken the time to bring the room back up to snuff enlisting the aide of a cleaning service from the city. The room he had asked the academy to be allowed to be one of the rooms he used for this activity. It was semi-large with large and comfortable chairs surrounding the table. Ten to be percise while still having room to get out and get into the seats.

This will be interesting.

The room was a somewhat large room having a few tables that now had snacks, drinks, and light eats. It was lit by a large glass chandalier that hung overhead. An unusual room indeed. Portraits and sceneries covered the walls and the carpeting was lush and wonderful. This was indeed a room where one could relax and talk the night away.

[Lanji Romano]

Most strange indeed to be invited for a game of cards. Still it is not as if we are gambling real money so it is not a sin.

Lanji was in a finely decked suit having for once not decided to wear his armor. He still had a couple daggers on his person however, since a knight was never unarmed. He headed towards the room as Darian had described the directions to him when inviting him privately to this card game. He removed his cloak when he reached the fine room and hung it up indeed it looked like the room had been well-taken care of still the evidence of a recent and thorough cleansing was there.

"Thou art most kind to invite me."

Lanji said to Darian who was sitting at the table with what appeared to be a glace of iced tea. Lanji himself picked up his own glass of iced tea from one of the tables and came over sitting down at the table and setting his glass on a coaster.

"It shalt be a most amusing eve."

[Alastin]

Remind me again why it's you instead of me?

Because I have more practice then you at this.

Whatever you say Mis....

DON'T EVEN START THAT!

Dark in his usual elegance and without wings came down the hall seeing Lanji from the debate go into the room from an oppisite direction that he had come. Dark just gave a small inward smile at the thought of that. So Darian had somehow gotten Mr. Purehood out into a game of cards. That was going to be quite interesting indeed. Dark easily made it to the room and studied the finery for a moment blinking at the difference. It was like stepping into a doorway to the past. The man who was hosting this obviously had a taste for elegance and history.

"Well met."

Dark said in his usual confident voice as he picked up a glass of chilled champagne and made his way to the table sitting down in his own seat.

[Kheldar]

Cards...

Well....I can't say that it won't be interesting...

Crackle...

Kheldar turned the page in his book as he walked down the hall and made his way towards the room that was described to him by that Darian fellow. Truthfully it was probably going to be bothersome but, during a card game one could always cover some of the most interesting topics.

I hope none of the players are bothersome...

Crackle...

Kheldar ran his fingers through his hair as he turned the page in the book again and gave a chuckle at something he read.

The guy will never learn...

He entered the room glancing up from his reading and glanced around.

Waste of money...whatever...

Kheldar picked up a glass of ice water since it always helped to stay sober and took a seat as he gazed at the other people. Darian in the dealer seat and everyone else in the surrounding seats so far. The table had nine seats arranged in a semi-circle with the dealer seat in the percise middle range for all of them. It always made things easier.

We'll see how this goes.

[Phae]

Phae had heard rumor of a card game put on by that young gun mage from the Summoning class she had been in. She had realized at the event just how few of the people at this school she really knew and so she wanted to get out more. Meet the new students.

So walking down the hall in a blue jean skirt with ruffles on the trim of soft white fabric and a lavender tshirt that hugged her curves perfectly. Her waist length red hair fell down loose around her body as she made her way through the halls to the specified room.

Opening the door she was greeted by two people she knew and one she didn't. The gunmage she remembered from the class and none other than her friend Khel. She smiled brightly as she entered her sapphire eyes sparkling.

"Hello, my good card playing people." she said with a giggle as she moved to sit next to Khel.

She stood behind Khel and gave him a gentle hug from behind her head on his right shoulder. Same old Khel he was reading but perhaps the game would be fun enough for him to put the book away and just play. She pulled away and took the seat next to him. She extended her hand once towards Darian and after he shook it once towards Dark and then Lanji.

"I'm Phae." she said with a bright smile. "And I'm here to play!"

[Shea]

Stepping out of her room leaving Bella behind Shea tucked her loose black silken locks behind her pierced ears. Darian had told her he was holding a card game and being from a very sheltered back ground and a very refined one at that she had never played cards and so she was eager to give it a shot. In her hand was a large bag that she had put together to contribute after doing some research on what people ate during card games.

She was dressed in a short black minidress that hugged her curves and a the star ruby Darian had given her hung around her neck on the vine like chain as it always did among her other jewelry. The dress came down to the mid thigh and she had actually put some make up on today trying to look nice. She had let the nice dress become a bit more casual by wearing tennis shoes with it small white tennis shoes.

She opened the door and stepped inside with a smile. She saw the redhead from the summoning class the one that had called on too powerful of a spell. She sat her bag down in a chair close to Darian and unzipped it her hair falling forward to hide her face for the moment. Out of it she pulled three pizzas and two bags of pretzels.

"I read.. that people eat these during card games so.. I brought some. Hope you don't mind." she said softly as she looked at everyone. She sat the food on the table where Darian had set his own provided snacks.

"I'm Shea." she said nodding to everyone with a smile and took the seat her bag and previously been in. Crossing one leg over the other she placed her hands gently in her lap.

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian shook Phae's hand with an easy smile as he greeted Kheldar, Lanji, and Dark. Easy and soft welcomes as he studied everyone and his eyebrow shot up at Phae hugging Kheldar from behind but, he chose to say nothing as he turned his attention back to Lanji for a moment. Amusing eve?! Man this guy really did speak in an archaic fashion. Really archaic and just well strange he'd have to adjust to the whole thing himself as he spent the evening with everyone that was here. Still it looked like a fun evening and Darian's eyes lit up happily when he saw Shea step into the room. Excellent she did come and she brought pizza and pretzels to add to the snacks that were at the table that was even better.

"Indeed...amusing..."

Darian said to Lanji as he smiled at Shea with a warm smile.

"Snacks of any sort are welcome I'm hoping that this will last for several hours at least."

He shuffled the deck as he dealt out a pile of chips to everyone each person starting at one thousand. There were one, five, ten, twenty-five, fifty, and one hundred increments for the ships as Darian shuffeld the cards some more.

"So let's go ahead and start introductions my name is Darian Dumonte."

[Kheldar]

Kheldar actually paused in his reading when he heard the door open again but, he stopped when he heard Phae's voice and her cheerful giggle. Phae was his first honest and true friend and he was glad that he had met her. There was just something about her that always set his mood off to a brighter picture rather then the usual mood of negativity. He had to admit that while he was still as grouchy and as stubborn as ever and even as ass Phae had very slightly improved his disposition. At least he gave a rare smile now and then his eyes twitched slightly.

Phae......

She was hugging him.

Her warm body pressed against him from behind.

More noticably?

Her ample bust rubbing and pressing into his back and Kheldar was seriously glad he didn't wear thick clothes. He felt her arms wrap around him and he close his eyes...

...and then he turned around and pressed a sensual kiss on her lips his hands moving down and cupping her ass enjoying the fabric of her skirt. He looked up and gave a hungry look to her as he pulled her into his lap and heard her mo...

She moved away.

DAMN IT! @_@

He gave a smile at Phae and heard Darian's little start as chips were set in front of him which he organized and actually closed his book and placed it face-down on the table.

"Kheldar, I have no last name."

[Alastin]

Dark gave a pleasent smile at the other's as he studied them for a brief moment and toyed with the idea of using Drake's name and concluded that it might have been the best thing. Or maybe not he was still toying with the idea still he decided to see how their reactions would react to this. After all it wasn't everyday people came across someone with multiple personalities and shapes. He concluded that it would probably be amusing at least as he would watch their reactions when he transformed to Drake.

DARK!

You can't keep a secret forever...

You're impossible...

I try to be.

Dark transformed to Drake who sighed and waved at everyone.

"Name's Drake Sevnik, my alternate side who will be playing cards with you all is Dark."

He transformed back to Dark who gave a smug sort of smile.

[Phae]

Phae looked at the shifting boy in complete shock. Not bad shock. ... no no good shock. She looked at him her sapphire eyes wide with excitement.

"That is like the best power ever!" she said with a grin as she looked at Dark. His purple hair and violet eyes were definatly intriguing but it was so cool how he could change from one to the other without even seeming to think about it.

"Wow, sometimes it seems my own magic is so.. boring." she said with a chuckle.

She noticed that Khel had put his book down and she turned and smiled at him giving his arm a gentle squeeze before setting her hands on the table in front of her. They had held hands once before during their trip to Italy but she didn't want to overstep any bounds as they had been alone that day and hey this was cards eventually they might need both their hands.

"Well it's nice to meet you all." she said brightly as she drummed her fingers on the table in front of her silently.

[Lanji Romano]

Lanji listened to the light-hearted conversation keenly for a few moments as he shifted into a more relaxed pose and leaned back in his chair some more. The people here seemed of good nature and seemed more interesting in relaxing and having fun rather then starting up trouble like the boy he had met yesterday and the girl. Both a tad loose-nutted if you asked him but, Ziare whom he had met two days ago and been kindly enough as he shook Phae's hand with a firm grip from his own and paid attention to everyone around him. What really caught his attention was Dark's introduction and Lanji twitched ever so slightly at it as he returned to his concentration on the poker chips and studied them for a moment. A mental game of sorts. Card-playing was a social game as much as a game of thought and cocentration.

It will be rather hard for me to play since I frown on lying.

Lanji thought to himself as he studied everyone for a moment before deciding it would be best to introduce himself. So after Drake and Dark introduced themselves he took forward in the conversation.

"Lanji Romano, a pleasure to meet you all."

[Shea]

She took her seat and crossed one leg over the other her short skirt riding up even higher on her thigh. She had dressed nicely but still very modern. The dress was sleeveless in face it cut straight across her chest with small spaghetti straps going up and over her shoulders. The mini dress.. yes it was for Darian and he hadn't seemed to notice. Oh well.. it didn't matter anyway.

"Shea Donnovan. And it's a pleasure to meet you all." she said softly as she organized her chips by value in front of her before placing her hands once again in her lap. She eyed the empty seats wondering if they would be waiting on a few more people.

She saw the boy change and for a moment she just stared at him not having expected that in the least.

"You're right Phae.. that certainly is .. interesting magic." she said softly.

[The Helper]

Cards = Sexy People Squared.

... Or Something Like That.

Cards. The last card game he'd gotten himself into, Mr. Winklewood had gotten himself busted out of the staff room for molesting his fellow staff members, the last of whom was a guy. He shuddered at the thought, yet was slightly aroused by the rememberance of the touch of it. Of course, fluffy pillows and seat pads were much better to grope, the squealing of women arousing him in a sick way. His gloved fingers went down into the pockets of his jeans, as he gently felt the air rushing past him, past his ruffling white shirt, and through his unbuttoned collar shirt. Truthfully, the pleasure was not in playing cards, but in playing with the people. Literally. Feeling his hands on them, making them writhe, touching them gently, as he attempted to molest them further, trying to delve his fingers into any crack or nook that he could find. His nose began bleeding at the thought.

There it was. He swallowed audibly at the door. Sexy. He could hear female voices.. but mostly male. SCANDOLOUS. Quickly taking out a banana, he dropped a bag to his side, carrying along some snacks and napkins. Breaking open a banana, he slid the fruit suggestively down his throat.. as if he were experianced with that sort of thing... best to not ask questions. Throwing the peel on the ground he slung the bag onto his left shoulder, taking out a cup, and some red, cold, strawberry juice. Pouring himself some, into his right hand, he adeptly squeezed back on the top, as he put the juice back into his bag.. his right foot was on the banana peel. His left hand on the door knob, with a napkin at the ready. Bag of goodies was in place. The juice was cold, sure to get the desired effect, as well as cause permanent clothing damage. Archinghis left foot, as he turned the door knob.

"Anyone need some punch!?--- WHOA......!?!?!?"

The light of the room flooded into view, as he.. saw... PHAE!! quickly diving his head forward, he slammed into her, his head between those lovely, soft pillows, before he recoiled back, the cup falling forward, splashing onto her entire front, dripping down her.. immediatly, the plan had come into action! "Ohmy God, I'm so sorry, your breasts are so firm, I'm so sorry, you're so soft, I'm so sorry.." he continued, as he launched out the napkins, slowly patting them onto her rather red-soaked violet t-shirt, as he squeezed, through the napkins, not really trying to dry them off, but more rather see if he could feel the real thing, since the barrier wasn't in full effect, while his right hand dove onto her skirt-jeans, with plenty of napkins, taking one and suddenly shoving it underneath, trying to slide it underneath her panties.. until, finally his eyes lit up, no blush, no shame, as he looked at her, as it became evident he was just groping her. ".. Oh, hey Phae! Fancy meeting you here, eh?" as he turned to the others, tilting his head somewhat cutely. "As to the rest of you, I'm Mr. Winklewood, pleased to grope meet you!" as his eyes closed, a serene smile on his face.

.. Serene, except for the fact that he was groping Phae's breats rather vigoriously, and all but fingering her, hands slowly attempting to slide underneath her clothing, and soon.. her undergarments.

He's not just a pervert..

He's a SUPER PERVERT..

[Phae]

The door opened and Phae looked up...

OH MY GOD!!

Phae almost got up to leave right there but no.. no he came right over of course. Could the bastard not take a hint. No of course not. She gasped as the cold liquid hit her chest staining her shirt and soaking her through. The one day that she had only worn one shirt and this bastard had to soak it through how was she going to play cards now without catching a cold. Damnit! It was cold enough in this room without this happening.

Oh God! She knew it had been a set up of course. He started groping her as he had that day in class but he made one vital error she wasn't asleep this time. His hand crept up her skirt and for a moment she just shivered cold and dirty. DAMN HIM!

She watched as he spoke and she read his lips her eye brows shooting up at what he said even though others couldn't hear. She put on a smile and looked at the teacher that was groping her. She reached up with her hand and cupped his cheek gently.

"We should make this more private don't you think?" she asked softly as she kissed his lips with a wink as she stood.

She took the hand that had been up her skirt and let it sit on her hip with her hand over it as she led him to the back of the room. She smiled the whole way there. Bastard. He deserved this. She was now contemplating starting to carry a dagger on her person at all times. God she felt so dirty.. steam shower was defintly necessary after this.

She turned suddenly her knee going into his groin as she punched him with a right hook to his left eye.

"You bastard! Keep your filthy hands off me. You are so infinatly lucky I did not bring my sword today or did you forget what I said last time you tried this!" she screamed as she kicked him in the groin again.

She stormed back to her seat hugging her body as she was cold now. She shivered as she sat down in her seat her eyes were still flaming as she was pissed and cold. Bastard...

[Kheldar]

For whom the bell tolls...

[/u][/center]

Kheldar heard the door open with a bang and caught one thing that made him instantly blink to turn and see just in time why Phae was pissed. Yeah this guy spilled drink on her, GIVING KHELDAR A VIEW HE'S BEEN WANTING TO SEE, and then started groping and molesting her in a way that was worse then a hentai flick. I mean this guy was so bad at his foreplay that Kheldar just wanted to give him an unholy smiting and he was thunderstruck when Phae started smiling. Wait...that wasn't her usual smile and Kheldar watched her take him to the back of the room and the sound of kicking, hitting, and screaming was heard and a very pissed off Phae judging by her yelling. Eep. Yeah note to self never grope Phae unless you had permission. Ouch.

But...THE BASTARD IS ON MY TERRITORY!

MY GROPE ZONE DAMN IT!

Almost casually Kheldar pulled out two grenades from his pouch and pulled the pins out with his teeth. He chucked them over his seat and saw with satisfaction when they landed on Winklewood's balls. Concussion grenades would hurt...ALOT! Kheldar removed his jacket as Darian provided a towel. He handed that to Phae with his jacket. In the pouch his hand went again and he tossed her a pair of small kunai daggers and winked at her slightly.

KA-KA-BOOM-BOOM!

That satisfying sound of a pair of grenades going off.

"You ok Phae?"

He asked softly.
