The next Patti song was also a bit on the light-hearted side. Davin nodded, feeling like he was having a self-important cultural experience. Sandy pretended to like it. The art kids seemed to like it a lot. Ibi laughed out loud a few times.Seth found someone else to talk to. Seth- "Hey Anna! How's it going?"
Anna- "Let's ask Basil. BASIL, HOW'S IT GOING?"
Basil- "SMASHING!"
Anna- "THANK YOU! How about you guys?"
Seth- "Good, good, just doing the rounds for the whole 'meet everyone' thing. You and Bryce haven't talked much, have you?"
Anna- "That's true. Bryce, how's it goin'?"
Bryce- "Smashing, I guess."
Seth- "Yeah... So, are you having any luck, Anna? Kinda hard to keep everyone straight, isn't it? So to speak... Heh."
Anna- "That's funny to imagine. Everyone going gay at random. I know some ladies that would appreciate that. "
Bryce- "Hilarious."
Anna- "You're punchy tonight."
Bryce- "Did you just say I'm paunchy?"
Seth- "What does 'paunchy' mean?"
Bryce- "What does it mean, Anna?"
Anna- "PUNCHY. As in PUNCH. As in 'If Anna punched Bryce, he'd fall down and cry.' Clear enough, you drama queen?"
Bryce- "I'm having a bad night."
Seth- "Eheheh yeeeeah... Enjoy the rest of the party, Anna!"
Seth whisked Bryce away and on to the next annoyance.

Somehow, Micah and Nora extricated themselves from the Emmett, only to be set upon by... Seth- "Hey hey, guys!"
Nora- "Well. The president!"
Seth- "Have you two met Bryce? He's a swell guy and everything."
Nora- "Er, not as such. Hello then."
Bryce- "Hello. You are...?"
Nora- "Nora. Pleased to meet you, Bryce."
Bryce- "Thanks."
Seth- "Nora's one of our talented artists. Micah here is one of our talented chefs. Have you two met before?"

Ashley is somewhere in the bottom of the middle. Not winning, but stuff can change quickly.
Edit- To clarify, he won a nice hand, but that just brought him up from a very low amount. Now he's a contender again.

Ashley turns towards Alex, and then back to the game. "...well, he was winning." He looks over at Kenny, but doesn't say that he's winning right now from pure luck somehow. Or maybe his great bluffing skills.

Monty- "Fold." Still cool, but starting to fray.
Skanner- "Call." Nothing strong there.
Sonya- "Raise to $1500." Cool as ever.
Tyrone- "Th' river is 9 club y'all."
Kenny- "Call." He was a pretty good player. Hard to predict.
Ivan- "Call. Kind of exciting now, isn't it?" Probably a strong hand. You've seen him play passive to draw more bets, like Kenny's brutal move earlier. Ashley had a sorta OK hand. Three nines, queen for the kicker.

"raise to 1700". He offered and sat back in his chair. He had the tendency to raise if he thought he had a good hand, this was something of a bluff even by his standards.

Micah- "Uh yeah, unless you have a fuckin' twin stashed somewhere... How's the party been goin' guys? Learnt anythin' you'd rather not know?"
Bryce- "Not so much learned, as reaffirmed. I don't like parties."
Seth- "Oh it's been going fine, Bryce is just... well, yeah. How about yourselves?"
Nora- "I think that's fair, I never really thought of it before but I'm not too great with parties myself. So tense. All these people... You don't know what they could be thinking about you... Do they hate you? Do they think you're ugly? Is everyone talking about you behind your back? You just don't know..."
Bryce- "........"
Seth- "Oh no way, this is more like a family party by now, don't you think?"
"Errgh um family parties? My family parties consisted of my uncle passed out in a pool of his own piss and vomit with stale fairy bread for tea So... This nothin fuckin' like it. Talk to Emmett yet? He's a bucket of laughs, apparently into CBT... Whatever that is..."
Nora- "Family parties, yeah? Even worse than strangers! It's all 'so have you finished at university yet? Oh what were you studying? What do you think you're going to do with that? I don't expect you're going to make any money at that at all. Did you get married? Did you have kids? When you going to give us some grandchildren?' "
Seth- "I think that stuff's all out the window here. Everyone's totally lovey-dovey far as I can see!"
Bryce- "How can you say that? All the conversations we've had tonight..."
Seth- "Huh? Oh you know, it's all in fun, I'm sure."
Nora- "Yeah that's like family parties. They'll mercilessly rip on you and then say 'oh I was just kidding, can't take a joke kid?' "
Bryce- "Mmm-hmm. You know it sister."
"--Not sister in the family sense since I'm not ripping on you and... et cetera et cetera."
Nora- "Uh huh."
Micah- "Yeah, cause you never fuckin snark on people Bryce, right mate?"
Bryce- "I never..."
Bryce- "But I'm sorry if I did. Helluvanight, amirite?"
"Do you really think this trivia shit will work? I swear half these fuckin' people are possessed already. I am not convinced by that fuckin' Becky chick at all!"
"Aw she's a total sweetheart if you get to know her."
Becky- "Greetings, earthlings."
Bryce- "EEP"

Alex- " " You can't ignore me forever, Broseph ...Fortunately, Alex was immediately distracted by Stevie and Susie. Neither belonged to his expansive buddy realm (for better or worse). Interesting. He wanted to know more."Who are you guys rooting for? My money's on Sonya, but don't tell Ashley." Susie- "Ivan, but don't tell Kenny. I kid. He knows."
Stevie- "I don't care. It's just fun to watch. I shoulda got in the game earlier." Alex- "Mister, you strike me as a hella good poker player, like the career high-rollers in MGM Grand. In other words, not my father. HAHA! He lost over twenty kay in Vegas one year. Mom was pissed. I mean ... PISSED. Hahaha!" Stevie- "Not that good, but it doesn't take much ta be better than most! ... Ha, oh, damn that's unfortunate ... Just like that!" Alex- "So, what did you two do before this?" Stevie- "Nothin' much. Video tech stuff... Eh... Susie?" Alex- "I heard you worked in Amazon, Susie. Musta been fun - during work sleepovers, did you guys ever play nerf gun tag in the Amazon warehouse?" Susie- "Er, there's no warehouse around here. It's all corporate and software stuff. And I was a receptionist. And I'm glad we didn't have work sleepovers because that sounds creepy.
In a weird way I feel safer now than I did then, because my benefits were garbage and now I get health care for free. It's so beautiful, not paying rent, working only to help people.
I didn't know it was something I'd have wanted until th-"
Kenny- "Pipe down Suze. I'm tryin' ta focus!"
Susie- "Like that's going to help you..."

Skanner- "Fold." Skanner is not long for this game.
Sonya- "Raise to $2000." Cool as ever.
Kenny- "Fold." Annoyed.
Ivan- "Call." You were probably right. He thinks he's going to take it and is biding for more money. This might be a good time to get out. Cut your losses? Fold?

When Patti finished with Lola, she stopped for a swig of some water and then went right into the next song.Jackson had been hauling in a drum kit when the she began and sat down a moment to appreciate. Jackson- "Hail Seattle."
