WHO: Hermes, Big Nose Kate and Doc Holliday
WHAT: Gambling and awesome
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: Some hidden away space Hermes owns
WARNINGS: TBA



The games Hermes ran happened every weekend, but he didn't always attend. He had been hankering to play for awhile now, and so when he had sent out invitations to a few new people he decided to sit in on the game and make sure they were worthy of the game.

The poker games Hermes hosted were always high-stake games and members of the cosa nostra were regular attendees, as well as a few other immortals who Hermes knew well and invited. A few socialites and trust-fund babies rounded out the number.

The alcohol was plentiful as well as the food and the complimentary (illegal) cigarettes. Hermes liked to spoil his players. It meant they stayed longer. There was always a buy-in so even if he didn't win any hands, he still ended up with a profit.

As the players arrived, Hermes watched for the newcomers, a small smile affixed to his face.

High stake poker games were the best. Not only did it mean money but she just never broke old habits and a card table with liquor was really where she felt most at home. But times changed and to get an invite to one of these shindigs (they were much more to do these days than in the old days) was always a problem. Everybody loved having their secrets.

So when Hermes was kind enough to send an invitation her way, she happily accepted. Best case scenario, she won a lot of money. Worst case scenario, she found some sap to give her a lot of money. She really couldn't lose.

When she arrived, she first went to say hello to Hermes since he was the gracious host. She looked him up him and down approvingly, "I could just eat you up, darlin'." she said with a grin by way of greeting.
