[Open Log] Not so very far from here...

When; Around 10 pm on February 13.
Rating; PG-13 I would imagine.
Characters; Meyer Lansky, and anyone who either works at Lucky's or wants to come gamble!
Summary; It's basically just happy fun times at Lucky's. Or unhappy not fun times, if you decide to cheat or break things! Employees, gamblers, random people wanting a drink... all are welcome!
Log; As far as Meyer was concerned, ten at night was the best time to be at Lucky's. Everyone who worked there was there by then, and that meant he could take a break from dealing hands of poker to wander through the small card room and schmooze with the regulars, as well as greet everyone who came through the door.

As he made his rounds, he was solicitous, complimenting one man on how much money he'd won in a lucky game of blackjack, and commiserating with another man on his empty wallet once he'd lost several hands of poker. He was always suggesting people have another drink, stay for a little while longer, see if they couldn't get their luck back. Maybe just one more hand would win them everything.

If you walk through the door, you're likely to see a large crowd, but Meyer will make sure to push his way through it to greet you personally, shake your hand, and suggest that you take a seat. You never know, tonight might be your lucky night...

Sorry for being so late!

Free drinks? Chekov is just getting used to a society that uses actual coins; he has yet to fully understand the joys of sales and promotions. No matter. He's not hurting for money.

He smiles pleasantly. "I have watched games, but I have not played any. Meyer may not appreciate that."

No worries. My inbox decided to bury this >.<

Probably the smartest customer of the evening. Great for him, but not necessarily for the business. As long as he's drinking, Al will let it slide.

"Maybe not. You a friend of his?"

The same grade school class, maybe?
candothat: (Relieved)

Aha, this happens to me too.

Almost the same grade school class. Meyer has Chekov beat by a year.

"I would like to think so. He invited me to come here even after I explained that I avoid gambling; that, to me, seems to be an exceedingly friendly gesture."

That's news to him-- but he's not about to give Meyer any credit for any big favors in terms of an invite.

"Yeah, well. Having a full house always looks good."

Seriously, kid, there are other ways in this world to get swindled.

"And having a drink and watching games is always good. Everyone wins." He looks out at the gamblers and adds a thoughtful, "Maybe not everyone."
