 ♥ - ♦ - ♣ - ♠On a warm summer evening on a train bound for nowhere
I met with the gamble; we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns staring out the window at the darkness
'til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
He said, son, I've made a life out of readin' faces
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my sayin': I can see you're out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression
Said: If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta play it right.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away, and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing is done
Now every gambler knows that the secret to surviving
Is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep
'cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. ♥ - ♦ - ♣ - ♠¤ Want the Easy Money | Introduction and ToC

The Condo
♥ - ♦ - ♣ - ♠ The official residence is within a rather massive high-rise of condos. Consisting of fifteen floors located within a well orchestrated urban area, the building itself is quite a sight for the architecturally curious. With sharp angles jutting in the occasional place, and a glossy mirror-like exterior, the spiky, curious thing is something of a town land-mark, and it certainly comes with the equivalent price tag.
Robert (and Jack) live on the tenth floor towards one of the building corners. The condo isn't anything particularly special in terms of its own layout, and it's just as such - for the lack of internal glamor is taken up by wide-open space devoid of seeming clutter. Being a man of hefty organization and obsessive care, Robert keeps the condo in tip-top shape, from floor to wall to coffee table. The entry room is fairly consistent of standard 'living' equipment, notably a large tv attached to one of the walls, a series of sofas, a small coffee table, and, perhaps more interestingly, a piano and a bookshelf overflowing with books and stacks of papers. Scattered across the walls are various prints of old art-pieces and the occasional metal work, labeling the condo, quite immediately, as a seemingly pompous place of artsy intellectual culture.
There three notable rooms within the condo - the first being visible from the entry room: the kitchen. The remaining two rooms belong to Jack and Robert, their doors set across the way from each other. A bathroom is located down a hallway just beyond where Jack's room rests.

Original Characters
♥ - ♦ - ♣ - ♠ ¤ Adrian Barnaby - Robert's older half-brother of the same mother. At the age of 45, Adrian shows himself to be mild mannered with a temperament worthy of the philosophical bartender archetype he so proudly has bestowed upon himself. Of all of Robert's siblings, Adrian is the only one who appears interested in sticking around or continuing any form of a sibling relationship, thus leading the two to be fairly close despite being distinctly different.
