I'm bored. Who wants poker?

Now, Miss Parker, you shouldn't dwell on the past. It can't be good for your ulcer.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Leave my ulcer out of this.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Protective of that, too, are we?

[voice]

[yourunichase]

It has a name, you know. I call it Jarod.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

No need to be so sentimental.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Well it was until you showed up.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I share my name with 6,199 people on Earth. They don't have to change it on account of me, and neither do you.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

6,199, huh? How'd you come up with that number?

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

When you've done as much research to discover who you are as I have, you learn little pieces of trivia like that, Miss Parker.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Well it's nice to hear you've got a hobby other than screwing with me.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I have plenty of hobbies. Chess, backgammon, Chrono Trigger. I also play poker.

I think that brings us back to the start.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Well, you aren't invited. You're a natural cheat.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Afraid to lose?

[voice]

[yourunichase]

I'm many things, Jarod, but I'm not an idiot.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Maybe not when it comes to choosing your poker partners.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Fuck off.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

You should really learn to say 'please'.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

How's this?

Oh please.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Close enough.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Always glad to help.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

So what will you be using for chips? That, I think, is the most important question.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Chips. Cigarettes, booze, candy, favors, money, whatever we have on hand.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Certainly a far cry from Vegas.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

At least I don't need to worry about being strip-searched.

Unless I want it, that is.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Would Denise be giving you your strip searches, in the event you want them? I'll need to know what my responsibilities are here for my own inmate.
