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.]

Living in an Italian home is like living in a dorm but everyone is your mother or your older sister and leaving a sock around is grounds to start world war three.

Let's do it. Let's draw another card....You first.

[marshall_lee]

That sucks. Is there anyone you could stay with during summer to avoid it?

All right. [He leans in and draws the top card.] Two.

[streetsmarts]

There's a couple of people I like to mooch off, but the cooking brings me back every time.

Heh. [He draws.] ...Five.

[marshall_lee]

I guess I could see that.

Hmm..guess it's not my lucky day after all. [He slides the small pile of coins in Nick's direction.]
Good game though. It's nice to know someone else around here that can play cards other than Exploding Snap.

[streetsmarts]

Italian food. [He presses closed fingers to his mouth, kissing them with an exaggerated 'Mwah' and opening his hand as he does.]

Guess not. No hard feelings, eh? Pleasure playing with you. [Barely contained cackles as he scoops the coins toward himself.] Yeah man. Hit me up anytime.

[marshall_lee]

[Marshall chuckles. He's a bit jealous since Italian food always smelled delicious and he can't exactly eat any of it.]

None at all. Next time I'll even try.

[This is said with a knowing grin and a wink.]

[streetsmarts]

Yeah, I'm sure trying had a lot to do with a chance game. [He gives him a dull look.]

Thanks anyway. [He looks a little suspicious as he gathers his cards.] Guess I should get to class, huh?

[marshall_lee]

I suppose not. Based on the odds alone I was bound to lose at some point or another.

No problem.[Have the most innocent face Marshall can manage.]
Maybe. They are annoyingly good at keeping tabs on us around here.

[streetsmarts]

Guess the odds are in my favour, then.
[He still looks suspicious...but he's not going to argue with money.]

Yeah, you got that right. Guess I'll catch you around, then. [He raises a hand lazily.]
