[Video post, and Parker's sitting at the pool table on level six shuffling a deck of cards. For those who were invited, it's worth noticing this is where Parker used to hold poker games. It's been a while, but hey, maybe she's trying. At her elbow there's a glass with an amber liquor in it, and an ashtray with a cigarette burning away. From the amount of ash on it, Parker probably just lit it and left it going.

This was going to be a big speech, but after a couple of seconds of not being able to start it, she just says:]

Fuck it. Poker tonight at eight. Be there or be square. We play for favors, wardens bring booze and inmates are on their best behavior. Cheating earns you the Severus Snape special. [Don't make Parker shoot you in the foot, assholes.] So does being stupid.

[A sigh and Parker locks eyes with the camera]

Don't get stupid.

[Then she flicks the settings on her journal.]

[Private to Kay.]
You and me are getting together before this if you want.

[Private to Narvin]
You're always invited, even if you don't fucking feel like coming.

[Private to the Admiral]
Look, give me someone before the end of the month.I'm sick and tired of waiting. Either give me someone or let me fucking go home.

God yes.

I mean.

Sure.

[That earns him a little chuckle.]

Been one of those months, right?

[Dean has settled some since he arrived, but he's always been comfortable in his skin. He grins at her, encouraged by the laugh.]

Yeah. Seen worse, but seen better, too. A good ol' round of making stupid bets and getting cleaned out by people I don't know should just about do the trick.

[Dean is good at poker, but he's better at pool.]

At least you acknowledge in advance that you're gonna get cleaned out.

[Parker is amused by this, and she picks up her drinks. She's good at pool but better at poker.]

Or you're a shark. Either way...

Oh, I'm a shark alright, but shit at cards. You tellin' me either we never played before or I finally get better?

[It's a gamble, bringing up the other him, but he's gotten used to the idea as he usually does - he's hoping it wasn't the wrong move, here.]

I was playing with inmates then.

[At the manly men's poker game, actually. No wardens allowed.]

Yeah? Who's more fun?

[He doesn't seem bothered by this particular revelation. It's possible he didn't make the connection, but not likely.]

It depended on the crew of who was there and who wasn't.

[The words were said with a shrug and a smirk, because well... it was true, and who was who had changed in the three years that she'd been aboard.]

Oooh, how PC of you. [He's teasing, tone light and the wink he doesn't give audible in his voice; a moment later he settles, though.] I'll see you at eight. Bring your fun pants.

Bring your money. I'll enjoy taking it off of you. [And then she grinned and cut the feed.]
