Saturday Night Poker.
Date of Scene: 24 October 2021
Location: Luke's Bar
Synopsis: No Poker is played but other games are learned.
Cast of Characters: Ben Grimm, Thor




Ben Grimm has posed:
Ben Grimm had set up for the game to be at the tower this week, but after one of Reed's experiments the whole place smells strongly of lilacs, and needs to air out. So a few calls later, Ben has talked to Luke about them playing there at a back table, no money on the table, but hey at least they can use chips and keep track of the money later.

Thor has posed:
The door to Luke's Bar opens and through it steps Thor. Or, probably Thor? He's dressed 'inconspicuously' which means jeans, a t-shirt, and y'know, a magic hammer strapped over his back under a dark gray hoodie. He is also wearing sunglasses. The man closes the door behind him, and then pulls down his hoodie and calls to the bartender, "Barkeep! A tankard of mead!" Yes. Thor. He looks around, and when he spots Ben he adds, "Ben Grimm! I am glad you've invited me over to take all of your money this evening. I have needed some after I accidentally crushed the Mayor's car with a tree. Apparently Midgardians frown on playing caber toss in the city." He shrugs, and then grabs his drink as it is slid down the bar to him.

Ben Grimm has posed:
Ben Grimm chuckles a bit as he looks at the other man "I tell ya Thor, you need to invest in some Damage Inc. Insurance, when Reed got us on it, saved us a ton." He chuckles and says "I brought the cask from the foundation for tonight. I am glad worked that deal out with Sif. Should probably send her some more Corned beef sandwiches." He motions to a chair, and says "So, who were ya competing against Herc?"

Thor has posed:
"I believe so. The night is a bit of a blur. I started drinking with Hercules at the Embassy. Then the next thing I knew there was a loud crashing sound. Then I woke up the next morning to a very nasty letter from the Office of the Mayor demanding recompense." Thor explains, before he settles into one of the reinforced chairs by the table. He takes a swig of his drink, and then asks, "What have you been up to of late Ben Grimm?"

Ben Grimm has posed:
Ben Grimm chuckles a bit and takes a sip of his beer, and says "Well just remember, we break anything here Luke is going to make us pay for it." He tells the other. "Not a lot, setting up for a trip to an asteroid Stretch wants to check out. Been thinking about doing a visit out west see how things are going out there, but aint decided yet.

Thor has posed:
A laugh comes from Thor, "We can just tell Luke Cage that it was Hercules who did it. He might not even realize that he did, the state he's been in lately." Surely that is a joke, but, either way, he looks around and adds, "Just the two of us this evening? Couldn't wrangle up any others?" And then he asks, "An asteroid? What is going on with the asteroid? Why is it humans always want to leave Midgard? There is nothing out in space but danger and sorrow. Stick to Midgard. Be happy."

Ben Grimm has posed:
Ben Grimm looks over and says "Well invited a few others, but aint heard back, might be worried about the whole getting mobbed if it gets out we are all out in public together." He admits "And trust me, space is a pain in the tuchus, trust me I know that." He holds up his rocky hand and wiggles his fingers. Reed got some odd reading and wants it double checked. Plus someone has to keep an eye on space around there, try to at least have warning if some of the space race are trying to bust up our home town.

Thor has posed:
"Tony Stark says the same thing about his adventures beyond Midgard. To make sure the world is safe from some space invaders. The Kree, or something else. Whatever it is. It is of little concern to me. Midgard has problems enough without traveling across the universe to find more." Thor replies, perhaps a little distainfully? He takes a sizable drink of his tankard, and then hmms, "Poker is not a good game for two people, unfortunately. Though I am happy to stay and drink until Luke's kegs are all empty."

Ben Grimm has posed:
Ben Grimm nods, and says "Yea, can teach ya a few others, used to play growing up if ya want while we chat." He offers. "So how are things going down at the Embassy aint had a chance to stop by recently

Thor has posed:
"The Embassy has been quiet. Which is good. Though they have been low on mead of late, probably because Sif keeps selling it off to the highest bidder it would appear." Thor grumbles a little bit, good naturedly at least. He then nods, "I would enjoy learning more card games of Midgard, though perhaps I should teach you ones that have fallen out of favor with the humans over time..."
