[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...

"Okay, let's see if I can do this."

She tries to make her face as impassive as she can, but ends up smiling at him despite herself. "I guess it still needs a little work."

"It's not easy, looking at a mug like this," he gestures vaguely to himself with a smirk.

"My advice? You're thinking too much about the person you're looking at. The only thing you should worry about is what you want 'em to think you've got. You get that down, sweetheart, and they'll be running for the hills."

"It's far easier when I'm on stage," she admits. "I guess the principle's not too different, though."

"If that's what you can tie it back to," he shrugs.

"And when it all works out for you, I expect a cut of your winnings."

He's kidding. Kind of.

She chuckles at that. "When I've gambled my way to millions, I'll be sure to remember you."
