WHO: Dead End, Fracas, Rung and Knock Out.
WHERE: Dead End’s room
WHEN: Night.
WHAT: Poker night! Or the Cybertronian equivalent of the game, anyway
WARNINGS: Decepticons cheating.

[Knock Out needed to put some space between Bulkhead and him, something not easy when they lived in the same temple. He invited himself over Dead End’s place for a few days and ordered convinced the other bot to have some fun with a few of other decepticons. Now they were sitting around a table, with Knock Out shuffling the cards.]

Everyone’s ready? There was no real currency in the planet and we have energon to spare, so…what do we use for the bets?

[rungout]

[If Rung was going to be honest, he wasn't usually a poker player. But something about this little get together reminded him of his time with the Wreckers, way back when, and the games that he'd gotten himself dragged into because of Kup.

So, for nostalgia's sake, he'd opted to join in. Because why not right?]

The losers have to buy the winner a round each at the bar?

[Rung wasn't complaining about Dead End's closeness, a faint smile on the therapist's lips as he leaned back in his chair some, attempting to expand a bit on what his lover had suggested.]

[redshirtrobot]

They might have been busy?

[Truthfully, Fracas has never actually played poker before. The closest he's gotten was watching some of it on the internet back home. At least he knows the rules for Stud and Texas Hold 'Em. Even if he didn't he would have jumped at the chance to play; this is probably the only setting where he'd be safe around Dead End and he generally likes meeting new bots.

Besides, it's not every day Knock Out asks you to join him for a game of poker.]

Well, we don't really have money... maybe, like. Betting services we're good at or something?

[Admittedly it's a very Vehicon suggestion and a phrase away from betting one's work shifts.]

[deadlydoctor]

Barricade was supposed to come over too. [The medic replied after the cards were dealt.] He sent me a private comm link saying that he was busy with some sort of project. He'll come to the next game night.

[Knock Out was hoping there would be more. He said nothing about Rung and dead End staying close. If it wasn't clear to Fracas before that they were together, now it probably was crystal clear.]

Drinks are fine with me. I'm not so good at preparing them as I am at drinking them but I can offer my skills. All of you could deal with a few upgrades. If I lose, something highly unlikely. ['Unlikely' , unless he wanted someone else to win on purpose. Someone like certain vehicon that was sitting around.]

[dinnerdate]

Right.

[Next game night. So, this was going to be something that happened more than once? He could get used to it maybe. If he didn't die.]

Skills... Drinks from me then.

[There wasn't much else he was good at, or at least not something he could offer.]

Could always bet your power core.

[Yes Fracas, that was directed at you. Vehicons are good at that right.]
