"Pleasure to meet you." Jizzy said, her mood lifting even higher. Poker was always more fun with more people. "Dei and I just dropped by to play a hand of poker. We'd always liek another player." SHe said with a smile as she darted around Haze to the cupboard. Rustling around a few minutes, she found it. A deck of cards and a set of poker chips. Oh happy day.
Deimos eyed the two carefully, particularly the smaller mishap. "Retta, eh.." He came a bit closer to them. He sized her up, then smirked. "You'll fit in just fine, Retta." He confirmed, his eybrow wings flapping slighly in approval. SHe seemed ok.

Haze's brows knitted together at the unfamiliar word. "Poker? What is this poker and why does one play with its hands?" she asked, unmindful if she showed her ignorance of Gaian ways.
Retta bleated in response to Deimos' scrutiny and returned the favor by staring at him intently. She cocked her head to the side at the flapping of his eyebrow wings and swished her tail towards his direction, the teacup attatched missing him by several inches. She wasn't strong enough to lift her tail for more than a few seconds.
"I thank you for not infantilizing Retta," Haze nodded, genuinely pleased that the other mishap didn't resort to the inane babblings Huni tended to speak around children.

Jizzy smiled. So she wans't from Gaia, or earth. "It's a card game. A hand of poker is like a round, or just a single game. It's an Terran game so.." SHe said with a shrug, sittign down by a table and starting to shuffle the card, albiet a bit messily.
THough Deimos didn't know what infantilizing meant, he knew what infant meant, so he assumed it was something like babying. "Just cause she's smaller doens't mean she's dumb. Smalls is just abotu this big.." He made about 3 inches with his fingers to show Aphrodite's size. "and she can alread write."

"Of course, most people make the mistake of speaking to infants as if they were incapable of coherent thought. Granted their mental faculties might not be as developed. And I'm certain that your friend's intelligence is adequate for her size and age." Haze nodded to Deimos off handedly, not really interested on whoever the child spoke of.
Retta raised one hand and attempted to mimic Deimos' gesture of showing Aphrodite's size. Though she had no idea what Haze or the other Mishap said, Retta was comfortable with their attitudes.
Haze followed after Jizzy, a little uncertain about the nature of this poker and whether she would enjoy playing it.
"I see, how does one play poker, then?" Haze asked as she sat down opposite the woman and adjusted Retta on her lap.

Deimos arched an eyebrow wing. He couldn't understand half of what this woman was saying. Less than half. He sat down, still gazing at her as if she was a crazy woman. "Uh.. yah, how do we play poker.."
Jizzy smiled and kept shuffling. "The point of poker is to get the most amount of money, or chips, possible. There are two ways to win chips. One ways is o have better cards than your opponent, and the other is to have all your opponents give up, or fold. You get two cards and 5 cards are placed in the center. Anyone can use the five cards in the center. It's bassically a game of luck, but there is some skill and trickery involved. It is perfectly alright to lie in poker." She said with a grin. "We can play a practice game first." She said, dealing out two cards to each of them.

((sorry I poofed @_@))
Haze smirked at Jizzy's mention of lying being acceptable in poker. She certainly has had a lot of practice in that category. "How does one know one's cards are good?" she queried with a purse of her lips.
Retta blinked at the two cards that had been dealt to her, at least she believes it was hers. Instinctively she made a grab for them and possessively kept them close to her.

Jizzy giggled at Retta, those had been her cards, but no matter. Next hand she;d give the babe the jokers and all would be good again. "Well, it depends on the combination of cards. THe worst thing is nothing, which is all your cards don't match up. Then a pair, which is like 2 fours, or 2 sixes. Then 2 pairs, then 3 of a kind, then a straight. A straight is the numbers make a line, like a 2, a 3, a 4, a 5, and a 6. THen there is a flush, which is when all your cards are the same suit, as in all hearts, or all diamond. Then a full house, which is a pair and three of a kind. Then 4 of a kind, like all 4 Aces or 4 Kings. Then There's the straight flush, which is a straight, but all the cards are the same suit and the best hand is a Royal Flush, which is Acce, King, Queen, Jack, 10 and all of the same suit." Well thjat was a bit longwinded.
Deimos eyebrow wing arched. Ookay then, that was long.

Diehard_Dreamer Aphrodite flew away screaming hiding in Nariko's hair. "Save me from him, he's gonna eats me!" She cried.
Nariko blinked, her hands gripping ropes of the swing she was on, she stared at Cato. There was no point to harm him unless he really did attack Aphrodite. "You don't gotta get mad at her jus' cuz she said you were silly. Pssh." Nariko shrugged, swinging back and forth.
Garreth blinked, climbing his way up the jungle gym. "Dite hide here with me, we can ply pretend." The dragon smiled, waving the wasp-mishap over.
Aphrodite nodded, flying out of Nariko's hair and to where Garreth hid.
Catherine sighed, looking at Cato. "Sweetie, calm down." She said picking him up by hiswasit, making sure she was touching only his clothes. Standing up she put him back down where he sat before. "Ignore her, getting angry isn't gonna solve anything." She said quite motherly. "Why don't pick up where we left off and I'll join in. " She said sitting down, glad she was wearing pants spreading her legs Like salem so instead they formed a triangle.

Catherine looked amused, the paitent look on her face could tell she had been though worse. "Can you get him off me?" She laughed a bit.
Nariko swung back and forth, watching almost apathetically. Then a sensation hit her and she ran off the swing and into the little girl's room. "MAAAMAAA I BE BAAACK! GOTTA POTIEEE!!"

Deimos eyebrow wing arched. Ookay then, that was long.
She listened intently to Jizzy's explanation, Haze intended to win whenever she played. The Wyndre bloodline disliked losing.
"Alright, I believe I understand what 'good' cards are. Would it be alright it we tried one 'hand' before getting serious?" she requested.
Retta's ears flicked every so often as she hugged the cards. Whatever these things were, they reminded her of her books, except only smaller and all pictures instead of words. Yay for pictures!

"Course we can." Jizzy said smiling, dealing herself two new cards as Retta had taken her own. "First we start off with the ante, the money we play in first." Jizzy put in a poker chip, as did Deimos. "Then I play three cards out on the table. We bet, I put one, we bet again, then the last one." Jizzy said, tossing a pair of chips in.
Deimos glanced at his cards, then the cards on the table and smirked. He liked thsi game.

Aphrodite sat down before Garreth. "Whachu wanna play pretend with. Neen-jah Turtles? Castle?" the tiny toddler inquired towards the far larger toddler.
Garreth blinked, closing his eyes. He rustled his wings a bit, opening a single green eye. "I dunno. I wanna play pretend, we can play castle, because we can't play Turtles without Nariko, she's our Mikey."
The tiny toddler nodded. "Yeah, it's no fun without Nari, and she's in the potty."
Garreth nodded a bit. "Mmhmm. Maybe we can play castle or Jungle!" He giggled. "Since we in the jungles room."
"Okies! I'm a lion!" She crawled around on all fours. "RAWR!"
"I'm a birdie then!" He cooed a whistle.
Catherine sighed with great relief as the spider babe was removed from her face. Taking her seat where she tried to sit down before. "Come on Cato, throw to me and then I'll throw it your Daddy and he can throw it back to you." She smiled, unfazed by small red mark on her cheeks. "You can do it Cato." She clapped.

Retta took a sniff at the cards and began to chew on one of the corners before she promptly spat it out. She didn't like the taste of these pictures.

"I'd never let the kids use real money." Jizzy siad shaking her head, though she understood if Haze wanted to stop playing now. "We use poke chips instead of money." SHe said, waving about a red chip. "I couldn't afford to use real money either." She said jockingly.
Deimos set his cards down and rolled hios eyes, this was getting boring. "I'm gonna go do something else.." Deimos said, standing up, looking around the room for something to do, his tail swooshing through the air.
Jizzy sighed and put her cards down.. "No good with just two peole, well not as good." SHe said with an even longer sigh.
