An Anti-Valentine's Day...of Sorts (Open to All)
Joey took a seat with the rest of the players around the table and looked from left to right.

"The name of the game is poker, ladies and gents. Everyone remember the rules?" Joey asked, looking around at the others.

The young children around him all grinned and nodded. And so they played.

And played...and played...and played.

Later in the evening, when Xavier's was fresh out of Teddy Grahams, Joey is sitting alone at the dining room table, wondering what he's going to do with the rest of the Valentine's weekend. There's probably some trouble in the city to get into, but company would be fun.

	"You need to then," Rose said. "We'll make it happen." "Rock, mostly. Older bands, though. Like the Stones and the Who." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool. My Aunt loved the Stones. Followed them on tour across Europe when she was seventeen, and loved every minute of it. I usually came home to hear her playing them, the Beatles, or Rush." he smiled as he thought back on those days Down Under, as the Americans called it. "Have you ever been to any other countries? Like Japan or anything?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-02-15 02:54 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Rose said. "Been to Japan a bunch of times. Dad's got friends there, old teachers and stuff too. Been to Canada and Mexico too, a few times." She shuffled and dealt, and this time it came up in her favor. "You speak any other languages?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nodded as she spoke and dealt. He'd never been to Japan, but he'd been through Europe himself, as well as Mexico. Foxx took him around after he left home, before they settled in Genosha for a time. "I'm fluent with Spanish and German, and I've got some passable Italian and French in me. Other than those, nope." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not too shabby," she told him. "My Spanish is okay, but mostly I know Japanese and a little bit of Quebecois French." She dealt the next hand, it came up in Joey's favor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not bad at all. Hey, you should go to Australia sometime. Lots of things to see and do." he says. Joey thought for a moment about what question to ask before settling on one. "Of all the places you've ever been to, which is your favorite?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-02-15 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, that'd be good," Rose agreed. She considered the question. "Hmm..., tricky. But I'd have to go with my 'Aunt' Heather's place, up in Canada. Nothin' fancy about it, but Heather's one of my favorite people in the world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, nothing like family or favorite people to make a place feel like more than a stop on the journey." he says. "Do you have a favorite holiday?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Always did like Christmas," Rose said. "Usually the only time I really got to see mom's side of the family." "You ever been camping?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Christmas was always fun back home." he chuckles. "One of the few days out of the year I could count on my old man to be around."

"No, I've never been, strangely. All my time Down Under, not once. I see this place has a pretty deep forest, though. I'll have to try it...as soon as I figure out how to work a compass." he laughs.

"You have a favorite day of the week?" he asked.

	"Dad took me campin' a lot, growing up," Rose added. She snorted. "Compass? Those're fer sissies." She shrugged. "One's pretty much the same as the next to me. You?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-02-15 04:53 am UTC (link)
	"There's no way for me to reply to that without admitting I'm a sissy that needs a compass." Joey laughs. "I see what you did there, Rose." "I suppose you know your way around here without compass, then?" "Oh, and Wednesday is my favorite day of the week. Why? Because it's not Monday or Tuesday. The gateway to the weekend."

	She puffed up a little with pride. "Don't need no compass, matches, nothin'. I am a survival expert." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That so? I'm not sayin' I don't believe you. I'm just sayin' it's a pretty big order to fill from anyone except maybe that guy on TV that's always eatin' the rats and stuff." Joey says.

"All right. Since you're a wilderness survival expert and I'm not...how about a camping trip where you show me the ropes." he said.

"But I'll be nice and bring some fire, just in case." he smiles.

	"That guy?" Rose said. "He ain't bad. But he ain't got nothing on me." She smiled. "Sounds good. Soon as the weather gets nice, I'll show you the ropes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-02-15 05:13 am UTC (link)
	"When you say it like that, I actually believe you." Joey says. It hasn't escaped him that he has no clue what Rose is capable of, but if she's a survival expert, it can't be all the dangerous. Right? "I'm looking forward to it, Rose. I'll bring marshmallows for the S'mores, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riiiight. "Now yer talkin', Joey." (Reply to this)(Parent)
