Most noticably though is the striking, firey red head sitting on the counter itself. Black boots with pointed metal tips tap impatiently on the table top beneath her, locks of vibrant crimson hair falling loosely against her dark lace up corset. She seems to be watching the proceedings with some interest. Freya tilts her head curiously at the group gathered around the red head. She couldn't help but smirk a little at the idea that maybe the woman enjoyed looking down on the crowd, with an inflated sense of superiority. Hell, Freya thought to herself, I know I sure as hell would. She takes the pint of booze from the tender and gives him a nod. She hops off the stool and approaches the crowd, taking a large swig of the contents in her mug. All the while she keeps her eyes on the woman.

Rikki Tikki Travi FreyaFreya tilts her head curiously at the group gathered around the red head. She couldn't help but smirk a little at the idea that maybe the woman enjoyed looking down on the crowd, with an inflated sense of superiority. Hell, Freya thought to herself, I know I sure as hell would. She takes the pint of booze from the tender and gives him a nod. She hops off the stool and approaches the crowd, taking a large swig of the contents in her mug. All the while she keeps her eyes on the woman.  
As Freya draws closer to the crowd, a sudden hush falls over the merriment at the poker table as the red head's boot shoots out, landing squarely in the chest of one of the players. The oversized man oofs in surprise and pain, letting out a grunt-like cry as he topples backwards in his chair. The two men that were seated nearest him stand, moving to hover over him with imposing, angry expressions painted upon their faces.
Hoping down from the bar, the red head stalks the few steps over to where the fallen man lies. Leaning down, she snatches up the cards he left scattered around him when he fell. Then roughly she pushes him onto his back, tugging at his belt.
Standing, the spitfire holds up three additional cards, adding them to the hand she had already retrieved. A cry of displeasure echos throughout the score of men. A smirk curves her lips as she leans down to the man on the floor, firmly planting her boot on his chest.
"We're sorry.. your ante has been confiscated due to the unsavory nature of your play style. " She recites to him with mock formality. Reaching down once more, she pulls out what looks like a wallet from his pant pocket. "And consider this compensation paid for being an a*****e."
Stepping away from the man, she heads back towards her spot at the counter as the two larger men gather the fallen one and drag him outside. Flipping through the wallet, she pulls out a few large note bills and a couple credit chips. Reclaiming her place on the countertop, she addresses the general bar, holding the bills up high. "Empty seat for the first taker, ante pre-paid thanks to our friend over there" waving the money idly towards the man now being hoisted out towards the club exit. Her eyes now fall on the cute female newcommer, her smile shifting into a grin. "Any takers?"

Her eyes now fall on the cute female newcomer, her smile shifting into a grin. "Any takers?" Freya watches with great enjoyment as the cheater spills across the floor. She stifles back a laugh as the dangerous little vixen ousts him and has him ejected. When the woman's eyes fall on Freya and issues her invitation Freya first slides a mischievous grin across her lips, then shuffles through the crowd toward the fallen chair. She slides her right foot under the back of the chair, her eyes widening with anticipation. "I..." Her right foot kicks up and with an additional shift in her ankle, lifting the chair up with a spin. She snatches it out of midair with her left hand and slams it down upright and in reverse with the back of the chair facing the table. She straddles the chair and lays her right arm over the back of the chair, and her left hand hand on her left knee. Her grin widens to show off her pointed canines a she completes her declaration, "...accept."

"Well, alright then," she returns with a smile, settling back on her spot atop the bar. All of the cards are collected and passed to the dealer. "Poker.. Dead Man's Boot" the nearest man grunts to Freya, giving a motion to the redhead's metal tipped boot now tapping softly on the tabletop. "No cheating"
Red makes eye contact with Freya briefly then tosses a few bills into the ante on her behalf. She watches the cards being shuffled, then as they are dealt out she turns her attention again to the newcommer. Her eyes trace over the girl rather obviously, a faint smile tracing over her lips as her gaze reaches Freya's face and she notices that the girl has noticed her as well.
As the game begins, the spitfire resumes her watch over the boys, idly sliding the wallet into her back pocket. "What do they call ya?" she asks the cute one, her eyes never leaving the table.

"What do they call ya?" she asks the cute one, her eyes never leaving the table. Freya notices the scan she receives from the spitfire. Her grin becomes a confident smirk, "Soichi Freya. For the benefit of the gaijins at this table, Freya is my first name." She uses her left hand to reach into her jacket and pulls out a roll of bills. "I do hope this is high stakes, I'd hate to be bored at such an interesting table." She sets the roll on the table and looks at each of the competitors, her eyes falling on Red last.

Several of the men glance at the wad of dough, a couple of them grumble faintly. "Yeah, and some of us would actually like to play a few more games tonight, so don't go putting all of that down at once." Red smirks faintly at their mutterings. "Could always up the stakes in a different way," she comments, leaning back on her hands. "Maybe not with money.. but with other.. requirements."

Ah, a challenge. Freya leans in closer looking up at Red, "Intriguing, and what exactly do you have in mind Miss...?"

Her smile curls into a knowing smirk. "There is a race held once a month around here. From what I understand, the club has an .. understanding with city authorities that keeps them at bay during the proceedings. Unfortunately, I missed it this month. The next one isn't for another 2 weeks." She taps her boot lightly on the counter, her gaze shifting to Freya. "Now, I've never been known for patience," she levels with the girl, "but no one is willing to risk taking that ride with me down the track.. but I can't exactly race myself."

"I think I see where you're going with this Red, however it's not gambling if you don't put up something yourself. You seem to be the type who knows what's up in this city. I have an interest in certain local "attractions." If you win this next hand, I'll be you're little racing gal pal. If I win, you pony up everything you know."She crooks an eyebrow at the vixen on the counter, "But...I don't finalize odd wagers without knowing my competitions name first."

"Name's Nirvana, but most of them here call me Red," she tells you cordially, "But I'm afraid you misunderstand the terms. See, I'm not actually in the game. I'm the overseer. You notice there are no cards in my hands," she holds up her unclad palms and twists them a couple times to elaborate on the idea that there is nothing there, "I'm the judge and jury of this table. I won't be in the deal. My proposal is, if these fine men here don't want to match up your coin in a game, then they agree to race with me up in the spirals if they loose the hand." She rests her elbows on her knees and crouches in a little and scans over the participants, eyeing each one of the men briefly. The players quiet, glancing amongst themselves, obviously not thrilled with the idea.
"There is always a healthy betting pool set up when we race. Those credits would be able to supplement the winnings. Not to mention the amusement and satisfaction of watching these boys try to outrun the uniforms when they catch on to our little game." Shifting her attention back to Freya, a mischievious delight subtly etched into her expression. "Savvy?"

Minai chan animeyumichan She followed slowly, frowning at the rubble: it was a bit harder for her to get across it then it was for him, but no matter, she made it through, and looked around suspiciously. So far they weren't caught!
She shifted the orb carefully to one hand, and nodded, knocking on the door just as he asked. She bent towards it and put her ear close while her hands rapped quietly...1...2...3. She paused, breath held tight, and...1...2. She stood up with a grin on her face and looked back towards him. I return her grin with an encouraging smile before glancing back towards the brute squad to make sure we have not been noticed. Hearing the door click, I quickly move up the steps behind Angie. "Go on in, young one, and keep that orb close." I instruct her quietly. "We must get inside before we are seen or we will never lure the fairy out."

Well now, nothing wrong with having a little fun before getting down to business. Maybe if I play along with her sadistic little game I'll buddy up to her and get some info. Freya takes a big swig of her mug and slams it down on the table with a big sigh, "You've got a deal Red! Get ready to lose boys 'cuz Mama's got a deeeep pocket!"

Get ready to lose boys 'cuz Mama's got a deeeep pocket!"
Nirvana chuckles at the young woman's southern style enthusiasm. "Amen to that," she cries, laughing. "You heard the woman, boys. Deal up or p***y out." she teases them. And just in case her tone wasn't enough, the look she gives them seems to issue a unmistakable challenge. Once again the players glance amongst each other, this time weighing the embarrassment of being shown up by a couple of girls with the possible consquences they could face if they dared to accept. Berlin was famous for having a cut-throat, militaristic law enforcement; They had to with the unsavory nature of many of their citizens.
In the end, about six players grudgingly accept the terms, while two others remain in the game by actually coughing up the dough. Red seems extremely pleased that the table doesn't shrink too much. As the cards are passed and played, her eyes glitter in anticipation of what the night will bring.

Freya finishes off her mug of beer with a grand swig and raises it up triumphantly, "Hey barkeep! Howbout another round for me, the crazy redhead, and these eight big brave men. I'm buying, woooo!"She settles back into her seat and picks up her hand, practically drunk from the idea of such an interesting night. She was sure it was going to be nothing more than questioning and loud music, but instead it had turned into something quite enjoyable. She brings her hand close to her face and takes a gander at what she has to work with.

(( Card Game Rules:
First hand: Each player rolls a single d20 using a post action.
Second hand: Player can -
1) draw a whole new hand and discard the old one. This is done by rerolling a d20 and the new roll replaces the old roll (( even if it's worse than the first one )). This is your final roll.
2) Stick with the hand but trade some cards for new ones. Doesn't matter how many cards you trade, you roll a single d6 and add that number to your original d20 roll. This is your final score.
Third Hand: In case of a tie, this is the deal breaker. Each tying player rolls one d6 and adds to their score from the second hand.
Whoever has the highest roll wins! )) The eight other players at the table also check their hands, hoping their luck will hold.
