Student newspaper, election edition

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

The day after homecoming (*cough* and any post-Homecoming or during Homecoming things that are still being slow played *cough*) found Angelus in the journalism classroom. He'd taken over a few desks and chairs, moving them so that he could sit in one chair with a mug of warm blood on a desk beside him, his feet raised and propped up on a desk in front of him, and a laptop cradled in his lap.

He typed away at his article.

Anyone watching him would notice two things:

1) He was still disturbingly cheerful, albeit focused on his work

2) He was dressed in black jeans, a black long-sleeved, form-fitting T-shirt, black shoes, and a pair of black-rimmed eyeglasses.

It was possible for people to interrupt him if they cared to.

"See, I knew that whole thing had been blown out of proportion. Marty was giving me all kinds of warnings and crap." He looks at Angelus. "You know if you ever have a problem with me, you come straight to me, right?"

"Why would I go to anyone else?" Angelus shrugged, as though all other alternatives were too silly to even contemplate. "Hell, with the way I've been burned by gossip in this school I hate to say it but at this point I wouldn't trust anybody to take a message to you on my behalf. Too great a chance for misunderstanding."

Logan nods. "Yeah, I figured. So, who else do you think'd be up for a poker game?"

Angelus frowned, thinking about it. "Don't know if Linds likes poker. Spike should not be invited just because that would annoy him. Faithy'd be good but you said no chicks."

[fh_jackass]

"Can't get girl cooties on the poker chips," he winks. "Besides, chicks - cigars - the phallic imagery would be too much for them to handle."

"You played poker long?" Angelus asked. "I love a good game. The stories I could tell you about some of my best nights... and worst, for that matter."

[fh_jackass]

"Not as long as you, I'm sure, but I've got a few games under my belt," Logan says. "Wouldn't mind hearing some of those stories sometime."

"Love to gamble," Angelus said. "Nearly as much as I love women, and it's a good night for me when I can get both involved. Want me to bring the cigars?"

[fh_jackass]

"Sounds like a plan," Logan says. "I should head home. Get some actual rest. Catch you around?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Count on it," Angelus held out his hand for Logan to shake or slap as he so chose.

[fh_jackass]

"Like this, man." Logan demonstrates. "First, hook the thumbs and grasp hands. Then slide the hands back and hook all the fingers. Then I bump the top of your fist, you bump the top of mine, and we finish it off with a parallel bump. Got it?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus observed all of that with a studious look, then managed to repeat it back to Logan with the deftness of a dancer. He grinned. "Got it."

[fh_jackass]

"Twenty-first century vamp," Logan says with a wink. "Later!"

((will this be advertised (the poker game) cos I know the Geoff mun's gonna want to be involved!))

[fh_jackass]

[[ooc: It's invite only, mainly because we want to keep the card game small for logistics reasons. But if Geoff's mun is interested, available Thurs, and if the character has the money for a high-stakes game, have them contact me and we'll figure out a way to get Geoff invited.]]

((this thursday? I thought it was next, damn it, there's a whole plot waiting to happen, but we need gambling first! Some other time I guess then))

[fh_jackass]

[[ooc: If this goes well, we'll probably do regular poker games. (Depending on availability and such.)]]

((Ok cool, great, of course I know what the plot is so I have no idea why I'm encouraging it, other than the fact I'm clearly stupid!))
