Room 107: Jellicle Cats are merry and bright

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 1:35 pm

"It is, and I know." He replied, sounding amused.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 4:21 pm

He grinned. "Then you're on, Agent Binzun."

"Wait. What stakes?"

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 5:44 pm

"Well, what have you got to offer me and what would you want?" He asked.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 8:12 pm

"Well, I'm not loaded like you, so... not much to offer really. Most I can afford is in the double digits. Unless you want to bet room cleaning duties or something."

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 8:27 pm

"It definitely doesn't have to be money for me, but considering I've only a few weeks left, room cleaning duty is not as appealing as one might think."

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 9:28 pm

"I could... draw something for you if I lose? Embarrassing karaoke? Just spitballing."

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 10:08 pm

"Art works." He replied, not looking to embarrass. "Best of so many rounds?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 12:59 am

"Heh. I was actually hoping you'd say karaoke," he said with a smirk.

"Three hands? Also, you haven't said what I get if I win."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 1:09 am

"Why would you want to sing in front of me? You want me to spank you twice in a row?" He joked.

"Also, I presumed you wanted money. What do you want?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 1:13 am

"Well my commission rate is 25. Chump change really. "

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 1:16 am

"So more than 25£." He assumed by the phrasing.

"Name your price friend."

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 1:32 am

"Fifty then? Probably not much to you, but a useful amount to me."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 1:42 am

"Alright. You're on.

Have you cards?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 2:13 am

"Do I have cards?" he scoffed. He dug through his suitcase and pulled out a box of cards with a smirk.

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 2:23 am

"Know any fancy shuffling tricks, gambler?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 3:21 pm

"I had to relearn a lot when I grew claws, but yep. Find us a proper playing surface and I can give you a show," he grinned.

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 6:10 pm

Basil got up and drug a provided study desk in line with Diego's bed, deciding to use the chair as he felt like it was probably less comfortable for his friend with cat legs.

"Voila. Now I am the magic do-er."

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 8:01 pm

Diego hopped up on the edge of the bed and took the rather nerdy deck of cards out of the box.

"Fancy card moves huh?" he smirked, smoothly doing a basic riffle followed by a waterfall shuffle.

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 9:08 pm

Not really into nerdy games, Basil mostly just admired the aesthetic of the cards.

"OoooOooo. Impressive." He commented, watching Diego intently as he showed off.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 10:57 pm

"If I had Kung Fu Guy's reflexes, I would be amazing at cardistry. But I'll just have to settle for pretty dang good," he said casually as he cut the deck and shuffled again before dealing, all with the style of a magician.

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 11:35 pm

Basil was intrigued by the card designs and colours.

So much so it seemed that while the Burglar had no face, Diego could tell by Basil's body language that he really wasn't paying a hell of a lot of attention to the game at the moment.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 11:46 pm

Diego smirked as he put out some actual poker chips, "Gotta pay attention if you wanna win."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 11:50 pm

"Hmmm?" he said, his head tilting only slightly to look at his opponent.

"You sure you want to give me pointers?" He mused.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 12:53 am

"I've got to give you some sliver of hope or it's no fun," he smirked, looking like a cat anticipating playing with its prey.

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 1:01 am

"You have other feline traits it seems." He observed jovially, trying to assess his cards before placing a bet.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 2:38 am

"Hmm?" he asked as he too studied his cards.

"I see your bet and raise you four," he added, sliding over four chips.

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 2:45 am

Basil called by tossing in the appropriate amount of chips to meet Diego's raise.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 3:12 pm

"Did I do something catty?" he asked as they played.

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 3:52 pm

"Toying with me. That is a quality girls very much do not like."

It was, of course, very hard to read Basil, but something gave him away.

That tapping motion. Basil was thinking hard. Waaaaay too hard for anyone with good cards.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 3:59 pm

"You gonna bet or just ogle the queen?" he teased.

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 4:17 pm

"I'll have you know I make a pass time of ogling queens, thank you very much."

He still stayed in, adding a bet. Clearly overconfident.

by **Diego Zapata** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 6:42 pm

"I'm sure the girls love that," he smirked as he called the bet.

"Your cards first Mister Confidence."

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 11:14 pm

"They do actually." He quipped Basil had a lot of pretty cards, but nothing of value. And no queens at all to ogle.

by **Diego Zapata** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 12:02 am

Diego snorted. "Dude. That hand suuuucks."

"This, on the other hand, is everywhere you look," he said with a grin, revealing a full house.

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 1:23 am

"Jesus." Basil replied. "I don't think I could possibly have beat that."

by **Diego Zapata** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 1:10 pm

"Not with luck like that," he smirked.

"Now come to papa," he cackled as he gathered his chips.

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 1:49 pm

The smirk in Basil's voice was evident.

"You like winning."

by **Diego Zapata** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 3:13 pm

"Well, yeah. Doesn't everyone?" he asked.

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 4:06 pm

"Nope." He replied mysteriously. "Round two?"

by **Diego Zapata** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 7:02 pm

"Yep. And your turn to deal Captain Luckless."
