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

[recognize_an_opportunity]

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...

"Yes, quick hands." He reaches over and grabs a poker chip doing a quick couple of hand vanishing tricks with it.

Marie is not amused, frowning into her drink. She'll just have to remember not to let him deal for her.

[deadmanbusiness]

He places the poker chip back on the table. Well, she did ask after all.

Theo tilts his head at her curiously. "Is everything all right?"

[prosopopoeia]

"Yes." She answers curtly. Though she'll carry on with a wry tone and expression. "Per'aps I do not think much of zhose who are quick with zheir hands."

Because she generally assumes they're impertinent, if not thieves.

[deadmanbusiness]

Theo is not a thief. He's many things, but not a thief.

"That's too bad. We're not all bad. It's really a hobby of mine." Because a guy like him can't raise dead all the time.

[prosopopoeia]

"Zhat 'as yet to be seen."

Empirical proof is needed. Until then, prejudice and paranoia rule.

[deadmanbusiness]

And that is a very good thing to have, Theo agrees with her. But of course he's the exception which she should realize right away. Yup. Well, no not really...

"I suppose it does."
