Study Hall, 11/08

Dream steps around the blue-eyed boy who is agitatedly trying to claw the doors open to unlock study hall and declare it open.

He brings no animals today.

"Fun fun fun," Angelus said. "Gambling, women, shows - you name it. You ever gamble before, Johnny?"

"Can't say that I have. Gotham isn't really well known for it. Anything I should know?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, plenty," Angelus folded his book in his lap to give Jonathan his complete attention. "I can't have one of my boys going to Vegas to get plucked. At least, not by the gambling tables. With the legalized hookers you're on your own."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure we;ve got those in Gotham, or at least hookers the cops don't give a damn about busting, so I'm good with that. But gambling, well, everything I know about gambling I've seen in the movies."

"I'll teach you," Angelus said. "What I don't know about gambling isn't worth knowing. What do you feel drawn to? Cards? Craps? Roulette?"

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"I really think cards sounds like the most fun. I mean, it's almost as much about playing the other players as it is about playing the hand itself right? That sounds like something I could be into."

"Poker it is," Angelus said. "And you're right, it's all about psychology. I should've known it'd be right up your alley."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"So you'll teach me? You should probably give Draco a lesson too, he doesn't even have cheesy movie stereotypes to fall back on."

"Logan suggested a poker night to get everybody up to speed," Angelus said. "Maybe we should try that for next week. You got any plans?"

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"I can probably squeeze you into my booming social calendar," Jonathan tells him.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Fabulous," Angelus made a note. "You, me, Draco, Bel, Logan - that's five already but I'm sure we can get the whole gang in if anybody else needs to practice. Logan's place is big enough."

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

"Sounds great, I'll let Draco know okay?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"By all means," Angelus said. "I'll take care of touching base with Logan, find out when's good for him."

((either we assume Angelus is gone or FYI, Jonathan's getting his ass beat (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/334101.html?thread=16162069#t16162069) ))

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

((Hmm, good question. I'm about to leave work so won't be online for a little bit. But if you want to assume this happens when Angelus and Bel are both there lemme know. And, uh, Bel too, one assumes. ;) ))

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

((Scratch that, you mentioned Angelus being there so he's gonna say something. I gave Bel a heads-up too.))

((Sawyer-mun is off right now, so the scene will remain this way for a few))

Beka, being she of the notes today, tossed one Jonathon's way.

Shame about the pictures. Still you look good from that angle. All press is good press, so long as they spell your name right.

- B.V., no, not Buffy Vampire-slayer

Jonathan passes a note back to her, with a wink.

I completely fail to see how advertising my ablities in the oral sex department is any kind of detterent for girls. I mean, this way they know exactly what's what, right?

Beka shook her head and smiled.

Willingness to kneel is always an asset.

Valentine

another note appears (long before the fight):

Knees? Beka, try elbows, for when you settle in for the duration

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka smirked. Getting caught in flagrante by the Tentacle was doing wonders for Jonathon.

There's a courtesy even Angelus doesn't show. Though he could, what with the not breathing and all. A girl could appreciate that.
