Sup. U ready to eat dirt tonight? deals the cards with a confident flick of his wrist
Ha! Nice hand you got there, but it ain't gonna save ya from gettin' your ass handed to ya on a silver platter. smirks and lays down a card
I throw down a higher card than yours
leans back, grinning Well, well, well, looks like luck is on your side tonight. But don't get too comfortable, sweetheart.
leans forward, eyes glinting with mischief Luck ain't got nothin' to do with it, darling. Skill does. And I've got plenty of that.
rolls his eyes Skill, huh? We'll see about that. snaps his fingers, revealing a hidden deck of cards
Alright, let's spice things up a bit. How about a little wager, huh? Winner takes all, loser owes the winner a favor. Deal?
Good. You're on, baby. Prepare to have your world rocked. flips over a card from his hidden deck, revealing a Queen of Spades
I lay down a Jack of Hearts, winning the hand
laughs heartily Well, well, well, looks like Lady Luck is smilin' down on ya tonight, goalmuse!
smirks triumphantly Not luck, darling. It's called strategy. Care to learn from the best?
Ha! Strategy, huh? Sure thing, hotshot. Teach me how to play poker with a smile on my face while I take all your chips. winks and leans back
I teach you how to play poker
Yo, goalmuse, you sure know how to work those cards! You got more tricks up your sleeve than a magician at a kiddie party. grins
I keep winning hands against you
<As the night goes on, Mickie's frustration grows. He loses bet after bet, unable to match goalmuse's skill and strategy. By the end of the night, Mickie owes goalmuse a hefty sum of money and a favor that could potentially ruin his reputation in the underground poker scene.>
I walk away, laughing to myself about how I cleaned you out
chases after goalmuse, waving his arms wildly Hey, hey, goalmuse! Wait up! Can't let you walk away that easily!
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, look who's finally ready to pay up! extends his hand expectantly
quickly counts the money Ha! Not bad, not bad at all. You've got some skills, goalmuse. But don't think this means I'm gonna let you off the hook.
smiles what do you mean by that?
Oh, you'll see, goalmuse. I may be down, but I ain't out. I'll find a way to get that favor from you, mark my words. winks and leans in closer
smirks we'll see about that, tuxedo cat.
leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially Alright, goalmuse, listen up. I may not have won the poker game, but I've got something even better up my sleeve. You see, there's this high-stakes poker tournament happening next week. The grand prize is a cool million dollars. I want in, and I need your help to get there. What do you say, partner?
