Snippet #2430002

Edei laughed at Craig’s shrug after he responded to her query about his own hobbies and when he followed it with a, "The usual, I guess," she nodded. “See? I bet ya twenty bucks even Cormy and Izzie play video games from time to time. I didn’t want anything hardcore while we were on tour but some old school 8-bit fun sounded like just the kind of thing I could get into after a long night.”

The petite bassist cast Craig a grin and she led the way back into the hallway just in time to see Cormy. It looked like the three of them had their rooms all in a row and she tucked her hands into her back pockets while waiting for both men to get their belongings tossed into their rooms. "I think I better find my room, this luggage is getting real heavy,"

“That’ll teach you to pack bricks and dead hookers into your carry-on.” She tsked, laughing almost immediately since she seemed unable to keep a straight face and she cast a look back at the open door at the end of the hallway which she assumed was Crazy McRedhead’s room since all the noise seemed to emanate from within.

“C’mon boys, get your stuff together and let’s go play. I can’t wait to gloat all day tomorrow about how I whooped you in cards!” She barely gave them time to even glance about their rooms though because as soon as they looked even sort of ready, Edei bounded down the hall, spreading her arms wide as soon as she passed through the threshold.

“And Psychosis bestows upon thee their presence.”

Her eyes lit up upon seeing the booze plunked down in the center of the room and she helped herself to one of the jars, uncapping it with a quick twist of her wrist as she found a spot for herself on the floor. Her back pressed against the edge of the bed which was now pushed over against the far wall and she took a swig of the blueberry moonshine before looking around the room at all of the others.

“Wait, we’re going to pass the jar, right? You guys aren’t OCD or anything and need your own glasses….”

She paused, lips hovering near the rim of the glass in a near-grin as she asked one more time, “Right?”

Raisa abandoned her post after Alex and Liam took over the job of moving the furniture around and she walked over to Jack, patting him upon his back. “Thank you for the attempted assist, Beardly. Now sit and enjoy….” She pushed him a bit so that he would sit in a position where he could not watch her movements and she took the bag she had most of her clothing stowed away in (including her lingerie and such) and hid it in the last place she’d assume he would look for it… The shower.

Seriously, why in the fuck would he look in her shower? Though she never would’ve thought she’d ever see a picture of him in Santa lingerie either so perhaps it didn’t even matter if she played the odds.

Pulling the curtain closed to protect her assets, she found her other bag and dug out a pack of playing cards that seemed brand new. Popping it open, she removed the cards, leaving the jokers in the box which she tossed onto her dresser and she sat down opposite of the dark-haired chick from Psychosis whilst shuffling like a pro.

“Okay so here’s the deal… I can keep it simple which might be easier for you all…” She gestured vaguely with a grin as she continued. “So we can play something easy like five card stud or jacks are better, trips to win…. Or we can go a little more interesting and throw down with some midnight baseball, daytime baseball, 333, queen and what follows, etc etc.”

Pausing, her ADD took over for a minute before clarity crossed her features once again and she returned to the conversation at hand.

“We betting?”
