The slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger

[streetsmarts]

WHO: Nick and YOU
TONE: Shifty? Sarcastic etc
RATING: PG13
WHEN:  Feb 4th
WHERE: Library, Out of grounds and around the halls
WHAT: Nick is chilling around the school and people should come bother him.
STATUS: Ongoing

[The Halls, probably near Slytherin dorms.]
[Nick has found himself a clean, empty patch in the hallway and he's making himself up a neat little one man casino. Currently he seems to be engaging in a game of solitaire, he's grumbling to himself as he does but he's actually pretty damn good at it. Honestly, he doesn't really look like he wants to be bothered, unless you happen to look like he could win some money off you. Or anything, really. Cards are more fun if you're winning against someone, afterall.]

[Out of Grounds]
[Nick is a model student. That's why he's out here lighting a smoke with his wand and hoping to God nobody catches him. It's a terrible habit, and he really should stop, but he sure as hell isn't going to appreciate being told. Or caught, for that matter.]

[Library]
[If you happen to be studying here and look like you have more than half a brain in your head, Nick is going to be seating himself in front of you and trying to coaxe you into doing his homework for him.]

[Raaaaising an eyebrow.]

Really? You know I was joking, right? [....] How much are you willing to bet on it?

[toocoolforthis]

You're the one who suggested it, not me. But I suppose I can spare a few galleons to the cause.

[streetsmarts]

Ever heard of sarcasm? I thought it was your second language.

Cause? What cause? This isn't a cause, buddy. This is card play at its finest.

[He starts dealing the cards anyway because if he can win money he might as well do it.]

[toocoolforthis]

Nah, my second language is 'smartass.' Sarcasm is a dialect of that.

[And Dirk grabs a few galleons out of his pocket as Nick deals.]

[streetsmarts]

I see. So many different dialects, smart assery truly is the magical language we're all hoping to study some time. You should put in a good word to the old Strider and see how he feels.

[He lays out 7 cards for each of them and digs a few coins out himself, raising the stakes a little.]

Dealer goes first?

[toocoolforthis]

I'm sure he'd be happy to teach you, he's a fucking native speaker.

[He loves his Bro, really.]

Sure thing.

[streetsmarts]

Golly, must be my lucky day.

[He peruses what he has before raising an eyebrow up at Dirk.] Got any sixes?

[toocoolforthis]

Go fish. Got any threes?

[Just how long is it going to take Nick to get bored of this? Apparently this is an ongoing experiment to find out.]

[streetsmarts]

[He won't give up so long as there's money, but... He's going to stare pointedly at Dirk for a long moment.]

Bullshit. [He rolls his eyes, it's too early to cheat, right? Just going to pick up another damn card.] Yeah. [He hands over a single three of hearts.] Take it, you bastard.

whoops

[toocoolforthis]

It's the first turn, stop being a sore loser already.

[He sets it down in a set of two, along with a three of clubs.]

I saw that!11!11

[streetsmarts]

I'm not a sore loser, I'm a sore player. [Honestly.]

Whatever. Got any eights?

[toocoolforthis]

And it makes you a joy to play with.

[Dirk hands over an eight of diamons. At least it's proof he's not cheating! Though cheating at Go Fish would be dumb, to say the least.]

[streetsmarts]

Good to know. [He answers curtly, setting it down with another two cards and glancing over his cards with a small scowl.]
