All Day Tuesday - Teacher's Lounge Poker Tournament

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Hades was sick of his office turning into pie. He decided to abandon the place and take refuge lounge in the teacher's lounge. That's what it was there for, after all. A large round table had been brought in and, aside from the chairs, all other furniture was pushed to the sides of the room.

The round table was set up with the green felt surface of a poker table. Hades was wearing a green visor, was smoking a cigar and shuffling cards in eccentric and tricky ways. Whenever someone sat down at the table, he explained the rules.

"Texas Hold 'Em poker. If you don't know the rules, watch a round, then jump in. If you get up, you forfeit your place and someone can take over for you. No buy-in, just take the chips you've got at your seat and try your luck. If any of your cards or your chips turn into pie, you forfeit the round."

He started to deal.

[OOC: The game is unimportant. It's the conversation as people come and go that's the fun! I'm not limiting the number of players. Just come and go as you please, but if you see someone leave, feel free to jump in and steal their chips replace them.]

Emma wandered in after her class. She grabbed a chair and a cup of coffee. "What are we playing?" she asked, as she shed her diamond shape in favor of her normal one. The better to read her opponents minds, of course.

The first word out of Hades' mouth was "Shiny." The next few were his standard explanation of the game. "Grab a seat."

Emma did as told, bringing her coffee with her. "Did you know it was possible to tie yourself to your knitting needles?"
