There comes a time in every man's life where he has to bend his archenemy over the game table and fuck them in the ass...






...in Poker.

"You're fucked, Shreddums. This hand is the best thing since the 1648 Kalosian Revolution. Placed a pauper king on the throne for a decade before his head finally rolled. Best government those fuckers have had in eight hundred years."

The admin flicked up his hand, his gaze turning from to the cards that would guide him to victory. Luck was a part of skill, and the admin's skill at anything other than embezzling funds and signing blank checks for Nomi and Lulu was questionable at best, unless it included Varoom Kart 64.

This hand fucking sucked.

"Pucker up, those ten dollars will be mine." The admin's eye fell on a crumpled up bill that made up the pot. Ten dollars could pay for a lot. It'd certainly give the admin a much-needed boost on rent this month. Yung-i-oh would've been easier to win at, but oh well. "Hit me. If I win, I get to take the Cyclizar for a joyride."

Cyclizar. Koraidon. Whatever.


1. roll five times. these five rolls represent your character’s poker hand.

2. each roll will fall into the ranges listed below. note these ranges and compare them to the hand combinations also listed.

3. if you don’t like your hand, you may edit your post and bluff. more info on this below.

RANGES:
RANGE 1: 1–20
RANGE 2: 21–40
RANGE 3: 41–60
RANGE 4: 61–80
RANGE 5: 81–100

COMBINATIONS:
ROYAL FLUSH: all five rolls are within the same range.
FOUR OF A KIND: four rolls are within the same range.
FULL HOUSE: three rolls are within the same range, and two rolls are within a different range (for example: three rolls between 61 and 80, two rolls between 21 and 40).
STRAIGHT: there is one roll from each of all the five ranges. (for example: 15, 31, 55, 72, 96 – they do not need to be rolled in consecutive order).
THREE OF A KIND: three rolls are within the same range.
TWO PAIR: two rolls are within one range, and two rolls are within a different range.
ONE PAIR: two rolls are within the same range.
HIGH ROLL: no combinations. highest roll wins in case of tie.

(royal flush in the strongest hand, followed by four of a kind, then full house, etc.)

BLUFFING: if your hand is weaker than a royal flush, you may edit and roll one more time to “bluff”. if this roll is 96-100, compare the highest of your first five rolls to the highest roll of the winning player. unless they have a royal flush, the highest single roll between the two hands wins.

ROYAL FLUSH: in the case of a royal flush, a player cannot be beat via bluffing, and wins the game if no one else has achieved a royal flush.

TIEBREAKER: in the case that the two best hands have the same combination, the player with the highest single roll wins.

there comes a time in every god's life where he has to get fucked in the ass in depths of the cosmos by his once-best-friend...[break][break]

 [break][break]

...in poker. space poker. not the five-letter poker game beginning with s you were hoping to be playing with , but you suppose that's for the best. sure, the idea of seeing her naked is appealing, but if you have to see 's nasty disgusting bare feet, you might actually throw yourself out the airlock.[break][break]

and you would be throwing yourself out the airlock, because you're assuredly going to beat him.[break][break]

"you couldn't fuck me if your dick was the length of prism tower, fox." you smirk. as you peek at your hand, that smirk widens. "the distance between your squalor and my heaven is simply too great."[break][break]

"and don't you dare disrespect the winged king, either, because when i win? then i get to--"[break][break]

thrash. scratch. bump. etcetera. your claiming of spoils is interrupted by the aforementioned """cyclizar""", continuing to fling itself into walls, floors, and just about anything else. luckily, you came prepared for this.[break][break]

"fuckin' hell... meltan, give him another slice of salami."[break][break]

"yessir ( ̄^ ̄)ゞ" meltan dutifully obliges, pulling a piece of pork from the packaging and offering it up to the beast, who ceases its blind panicking to gobble it up. "dont worry mr lizard (っ´ω`)ノ soon were going to get to go to the legendary moontan village!"[break][break]

mhm. okay. not acknowleding moontan village. not while sober, anyway.[break][break]

"besides, you? ride him?" you snort, cracking open a beer as you do. "knowing you, you'd probably end up crashing headfirst into the head champion's office and getting yourself arrested."

Makoto blinks a second, as joins them. But as dee 'speaks' to them, they smile a little. "Happy to have you. It's... honestly a beautiful sight, even if a bit scarily vast." They confess to dem. It's likely clear to see that Makoto grows more comfortable around Fenelle with each interaction - they might well consider calling dem a friend at this point, much like or .

At the question of how they felt though, well... Makoto thinks for a second before they respond. "The take-off was definitely rattling... And being so far from Hoenn, so high up, is a wild experience. But... I'm otherwise feeling okay."

As approaches and speaks, their more softspoken countenance comes back in ever so slightly - by no fault of Alba's besides that they still needed time to warm up. But they still nod to him in response. "It's dazzling..."

. . .

... With time though, as the ride goes on in relative uneventfulness (aside from 's Koraidon flipping the fuck out,) people would begin finding ways to entertain. Namely in drink and poker, it seemed.

Though Makoto had no interest in alcohol, they'd nonetheless sit down to join in on the games. That being said, they've never played poker before - and half of their playing here was a mix of watching what everyone else was doing, and having a surprisingly practiced pokerface of their own.

(Briefly, a flicker of something out of the corner of their eye grabbed their attention - but as soon as they looked, out towards one of the windows... Whatever they had seen wasn't there.)
TLDR: Makoto yaps with and . When evening comes, they join in the poker, but abstains from drinking! Briefly catches a glimpse of something out of the corner of their eye. Straight Hand

Cillian observes the aggressive banter between and with his usual mask of stoicism. It lends well to his poker face.[break][break]

"Get a room," he advises the pair, monotone.[break][break]

He glances at his cards, expression unchanging.[break][break]

Only his eyes widen as they catch something flit across one of the windows. He could have sworn he'd seen-[break][break]

But had he? He's never been to space. Maybe it's normal. He doesn't want to come across like some jumpy coward while the seasoned space veterans aboard the ship laugh at him.[break][break]

He does notice that seems equally distracted.[break][break]

He leans closer, whispering, "Did you see something, just now? Out that window?"[break][break]

To anyone else, it might've seemed like he was just gossiping with them about their coworkers.[break][break]

"You both talk big, but I bet you're full of it."[break][break]

He tries to appear smug, confident, but the BLUFF could be easily compromised by his shot nerves.[break][break]

And it is.[break][break]

He tells Shred and Howard to get a room...[break]
But surreptitiously asks Makoto if they saw what he thinks he saw out the window.[break]
He's also playing poker. Attempts to BLUFF, but he's too rattled by what he saw to pull it off.[break]
Ends with a PAIR if I read it right.

There's a tingle at 's words, a faint smile that quickly shifts back into Fenelle's neutral state of expressionlessness as dee looks out of the window again. Dee nods in agreement. "We're usually not surrounded by that much empty- well, not exactly empty space, but ... yeah. Makes the mind expand a bit, somehow," dee returns, perhaps with an edge of awkwardness as dee tries to articulate thoughts that dee hasn't really thought of much before.

Dee also nods in agreement with Makoto's sentiments about their travels, as approaches the window gang, too, remarking upon the vastness of space. "Agreed."



It's extremely late until Fenelle notices 's Koraidon going haywire, as it somehow managed to escape Fenelle's field of vision. However, it's fascinating - and gladly, most equipment is also quite sturdy. As a day seems to pass by with tasks and other timekillers, it's time for "evening" to approach. The Earth has turned, though it's hard to say whether they have followed its spinning or not ... but either way, games and alcohol are brought out.

A familiar sight that almost has dem leap into persona, with a broad, inviting and energetic smile flickering on his face before dee remembers. You're not Perle here. And for once, the dealer might not deal ... it's interesting, sitting on the other side of the game as dee watches the interactions unfold, with der Rotom diligently transcribing the chatter as able.

Though Fenelle really didn't need to read all of that.

Dee nods in agreement with 's words as dee looks at der hand. And maybe dee should've assumed Perle after all because a sigh and a frown is almost immediately visible on der face. A bad hand, and dee immediately tries to distract, maybe similiar to Cillian, as dee catches him whispering something to . Der eyes flicker towards them, following their look towards the window ... has there been something there?

tl;dr
- wrap up of the prev round smalltalk with makoto and alba!
- joins the poker round
- gets a two pair hand, tries to bluff but fails - kinda distracted, too, curious what cillian and makoto might talk abt, follows makoto's look to the window
hand + BLUFFINGGG

Makoto does jump a hair as whispers to them - and there is a second where they glance between the window and him. "I... I think so?" They pause a second to consider, before continuing "I didn't get a good look - it was out of the corner of my eye. But I could've sworn I saw something... It... I think it was something pink?"

It was hard for them to say now, when they aren't sure if what they saw was even real and not just a figment of their imagination... But if Cillian, one of the most straightlaced of the group, saw something? Maybe there really was something going on...

... Their attention shifts once more to - and noticing dem gazing towards much the same window, they whisper to her to ask "Did you notice anything weird...?"
TLDR: Makoto jumps a bit when whispers to them, whispers back that they think they saw something, but only out of the corner of their eye - and that it might've been something pink. Notices glancing to the window, and whispers to dem to ask if dey noticed anything amiss.

Poker isn't really her thing. Science is her thing. But in lieu of there being any science to do - so far - she decides to try her hand at gambling.[break][break]
Nomi scrunches up her brow, staring at her cards with all of the laser-focused concentration of a seasoned academic. She doesn't get it - what's the winning hand, again?[break][break]
She peers over her cards at the others in the room, but and are too focused on each other to pay her any mind. is whispering something to , which spurs them to lean over and whisper something to : like some sort of chain reaction. Nomi cocks her head, intensely curious. She follows their gazes to the window, but all she can see is the vast, endless expanse of space. Which is totally normal, given their current situation.[break][break]
As she shifts to look back down at her cards, a flash of something purple causes the Head Scientist to freeze in place. Crimson eyes flick up once more, but the view is the same. Her temple throbs all of a sudden: the start of a headache. "Dream mist?" she murmurs aloud, incredulous. Why - but more importantly, how - could there be dream mist in space? It must have been a figment of her imagination.[break][break]
Which isn't a particularly comforting thought, given what sorts of things have been manifesting all over Hoenn lately, thanks to the human imagination...[break][break]
"Um, fold?"[break][break]
Was that the right thing to say? Either way, she sets her cards down face-up, and stands. Finally! Something to investigate.[break][break]
"Ameena," she approaches the other woman, realizing she'd be one of the better people to ask about whatever it was Nomi might have seen (the other would, of course, be herself). "Do you think it's possible for dream mist to show up in space?"[break][break]
Meanwhile, Kallistatus hovers above the Winged King, its singular eye fixated on the thrashing paradox in what could certainly be interpreted as concern for its wellbeing.[break][break]

NOTES[break]
- Nomi has no idea how to play poker![break]
- Wishes she were doing science instead. Gets distracted by all the whispering, and looks out the window[break]
- Sees...something? Kind of reminds her of dream mist. Becomes curious and loses interest in the poker game. Folds without realizing she has two pairs[break]
- Wanders off to find someone to talk to about what she may have seen - finds , who knows a lot about dream stuff, which is good! Asks her about dream mist in space.[break]
- Kallistatus hangs out with the very distressed Koraidon

Ameena nurses another tea as the team settles into a poker game. She's never been suited for cards and has little interest in engaging with the game, but she's more than happy to watch. It's a great opportunity to learn about people, though even if she knew everyone's hands, she couldn't say who was bluffing and who had excellent cards. [break][break]

Honestly, there's just enough people here of varying standings within the organization that she lets her guard down. From one perspective, she's a spare part in this operation, and in another, she's here as a lab assistant and doesn't have to do much but aid in whatever manner Lulu requires. In other words, she finds herself drifting between awareness of them all and thoughts of . She's far from home, and the isolation of space melts her enough to reveal nostalgic wonderings... [break][break]

She perks back up at Nomi's comment. "In space?" She buys herself a moment to think. "I imagine it would not be the same manner of mist we see in Hoenn, but with the vastness of space, it is reasonable to think there are other dream manifestations out here." It's an intriguing question. [break][break]

"The most reasonable guess is, given our proximity to the moon, that we are closest to something of Cresselia's creation, dream-wise." Alternatively, the closest source is the interdream mist of Hoenn, but she doesn't want to think of that distance right now. Then: "What prompts the question?"

Fenelle frowns pensively at 's question, staring more intently at the window again. Out here, they should be fairly isolated from many lifeforms, though it's not impossible for them to meet infamous aliens (probably just more pokémon ... or maybe something else entirely) out here. It doesn't seem to be just that, however, given that several's attention might be trained on the window now.

And for a glimpse.

Der eyes widen with confusion, forcing them to stay open, but perhaps the same glimpse that has seen is then gone once more. It oddly feels like it's just been seen outside of the corner of der eye, too, or perhaps just before dee has closed der eyes to blink ... but it's definitely gone now.

"I believe ... what could it be?" dee ponders, noticing one head scientist leaving the table to go talk to . Dee looks at them with a creased eyebrow, pondering ... Dream Mist? But der attention is then called back to the cards and another hand.

tl;dr
- stares out the window at makoto's question
- catches a glimpse of smth (perhaps what nomi saw), then sees her walking away from the table to talk to ameena
- believes to lipread "dream mist" but then focuses on Gambling lol

There is a kind of creeping dread that comes from sitting at the poker table. Not from the prehistoric dragon trying to wreak havoc in a place mere inches away from the lifeless void, but at the possibility that he’s going to have to suffer through whatever was going on between Howard and Shred for the entirety of this trip. This game was no longer about winning (that was a lie it was always about winning), but about the absolute need to not end up stuck with those two late at night.[break][break]

…Though ‘night’ didn’t really exist out here.[break][break]

The scientist pulls his cards close to his chest as someone (or someone’s Pokémon?) tries to peek at his hand, though they manage to slip out of sight before he turns round to look at them.[break][break]

“Well, unless any of you have a hand like his—” Alba nods towards the Winged King— “It doesn’t matter if you’re talking Prism Tower or Littleroot Town.”[break][break]

It’s somehow a barefaced lie and a terrible pun rolled into one, and neither of them are especially good.

There's always a last for everything, just as there's a first for everything. While der second hand looks way better than the first one, it's still ... not exactly favourable. And as dee would always be a gambler in one way or another, a new game would bring a new hand as well to contemplate while reading the idle chatter from around the table.

It doesn't distract der thoughts too much, however, as there's two things occupying der mind ... what dee has seen outside the window, and what others might also have perceived, what dee might know of Dream Mist (which, arguably, not a lot), and ... der new hand. Thanks to years of keeping der composure, dee doesn't lose it as der final hand is revealed.

Though dee closing der eyes for a moment might be a give-away, as if dee is attempting to catch up now already on any sleep dee might lose over the upcoming night.

tl;dr
- fen wanna gamble for another hand lol
- just contemplations, nothing much

hand one pair

Oscar was late to the party. He had data to log, seemingly endless numbers that could determine the difference between a successful mission and a failure. Well maybe it was not that important, but it needed to be done and Oscar wanted to get it out of the way so he could faff about for the rest of the trip. Tragically he could not get it all done in one go, and burn out would convince him to join the others in the commons in search of entertainment.

The scientist observed the poker game taking place, and would saunter up behind . He took a casual look at Cil's cards, raising an eyebrow before wandering off to grab a refreshment. "What is this, Uno?" He commented cheekily as he procured a beer. On his return trip to the table, Oscar would peek over 's shoulder to look at his cards.

He said nothing as he took a long sip of his bitter beverage. To be honest, he did not quite understand poker. It was not his thing. But if he pretended to know about the game, perhaps his leering would incite unintended shenanigans. Oscar rounded over to @shred to peek at his cards, making a "Hmmmm." sound as he passed by.

He provided subtle yet nevertheless fake reactions for everyone, patiently waiting for whatever came next.

tl;dr
--Oscar doesn't get poker.

she’d always loved games, especially cards. among those she cared for, the terrible danger they were in made it sentimental. she observed their interactions, catching the way their attention seemed to gather on something outside the window.[break][break]

dream mist?[break][break]

she remained seated with her cards in-hand and watched rise to talk to . however, she was not as skilled as at lip reading.[break][break]

holding her cards, she said nothing, and her eyes returned to the window to try and glimpse whatever they’d seen.[break][break]

TEAM ROCKET MEMBER-LED MINI-RAID

[break]

[player]https://file.garden/ZZuaa3LxvGQ0wF8z/1-34.%20Mt.%20Moon.mp3[/player]



unfortunately for , space poker is no yung-i-oh. is the winner for the evening in a passionate ongoing rivalry between once-best-friends. in addition to the admin’s rent money, another prize awaits the opportune moment to reveal itself to the boundless.[break][break]

meanwhile, spots something outside the window, and others turn their attention in the same direction, wondering what it could be. ’s suspicion that it is dream mist is accurate, at least to some degree. there is a large tera crystal shard aboard after all. however, nothing clearly manifests itself – at least for the time being.[break][break]

as the hours of ‘night’ fall, , , and remain awake while the rest of the crew descend to shared sleeping quarters. fenelle is entrusted with ensuring the ship runs smoothly.[break][break]

groups will rotate like this for the rest of the week.[break][break][break]

THE SLEEPING:

[break]

[break]

for those who get to rest first, sleep comes easily. their dreams are perhaps abnormally deep and pleasant.[break][break]

at some point, they may become aware they are dreaming and/or recall that they are on a spaceship. they may also see parts of their crewmates’ dreams and see/meet them in a shared dreamscape. however, they will not be able to wake up yet.[break][break]

WHAT TO DO: describe your character’s dream and, if desired, interact with others within shared/blended dreams. players should ROLL to wake up in the next round. they should also note in the tldr what parts of their character’s dream may be visible to others, and to whom specifically if not all characters. players may also choose not to have the dream visible to others.[break][break][break]

THE WAKING:

[break]

[break]

in the control room (or wherever they may be) those awake will see the mist of the interdream zone begin to leak onto the spaceship. they glimpse their own dreams and/or desires, and perhaps bits of their crewmates’ dreams too.[break][break]

the spaceship continues to exist in some capacity around them. still, as reality seems to fade into an amalgamation of imaginations, a disorienting hall of mirrors and pink mist, it becomes clear that the rest of the crew should be woken up.[break][break]

before they can get to the lower decks where the bunks are, however, more familiar threats manifest.[break][break]

in front of the corridor leading to the lower decks, a great tusk paws at the floor. an iron hands steps out beside it, holding up its massive palms in a clear threat.[break][break]

the two paradox pokemon charge any who try to pass, uniting powers from distant and mysterious eras to pulverize them without mercy.[break][break]

WHAT TO DO: ROLL to fight the great tusk and iron hands. if successful, you may get to the bunks and wake someone up next round who does not wake up successfully themselves.[break][break]

if you post earlier, you may edit to note who your character will be waking up once they have rolled. note that if you need to post early this round, your character will still be able to react to dreams in the next round too.





RULES & GUIDELINES

[break]

  • include a tldr.
  • no need to lock in pokemon. however, only 2 may be active at a time and moves should be in bold.
  • don’t worry too much about realism!
  • characters and pokemon likely have space gear, or you can get creative with pokemon moves (like using dewpider’s air bubbles to breathe underwater, etc.)
  • icly, this takes place over a week. some rounds will cover one if not multiple days. feel free to post multiple times or create spin-off threads.
[break]

what is this? this is a closed event with no sign-ups and limited participants, who have mostly been icly recruited by lulu or are coming along for plot reasons.

Contrary to popular belief, Howard's dreamscape was remarkably organized. would remember it as a golden plain, back when the archaeologist was recuperating from his siege on Dewford. While his mind rested, his soul wandered through dusty forests and Galar's epilogue.

Now, it was a library. Bookshelves that stretched into infinity were lined with books discussing events that had happened millennia ago.

More importantly, there was a whiskey cabinet that and couldn't steal from. Ameena had brought him tea back from the kitchen, and Howard had drank his leaf water begrudgingly while wishing he was sloshed. It wasn't that the admin didn't like tea, it was just that when Lulu was footing the bill of this particular space-venture, he wanted to partake in all of her alcohol.

Ignoring the fact that he had probably signed a check to fund this trainwreck, anyway.

"Hm." The admin drained his glass of dream whiskey while reading a book on the Almian War of 1812. "This is nice."

He poured himself another glass of whiskey and continued reading up on his histories. He made a point to ignore any potential dream-fuckery that would likely occur. Out of sight, out of mind. Or so he hoped as a distant part of the library flickered in and out of existence.


Howard's dreamscape is a vast library of books chronicling every year of history
There's also a liquor cabinet because it's Howard
There's also a book with these two images.
