"So, see any new horror movies worth checking out? I was thinking about expanding my to be watched list." He pulled the cigarette away from his lips, flicking the butt with his thumb to discard the growing ash. "Any of them got good kills?"

— He stopped shuffling and dealt out two more cards for Mirage, the visible one a Queen of Spades. As he placed his own cards down, his visible card was an 8 of diamonds. "So, hit or stay?"

Jimmy collected the played cards with one hand, folding them back into the deck of cards that he was holding. "I enjoy putting money on the line time to time. Everything comes down to chance, it's just a matter of playing the right hand." —

Jimmy glanced over the cards, 7 + 7 + 3 + 2 + 5 , that was 24. "Close, but you bust by just a few points." He clicks his tongue and flipped over his other card, a Jack of Spades. "Well, looks like I don't need to draw this time around. What are you losing first?"

"Alright then, let's see what happens." He dealt out another card, placing it down face up— presenting a 2 of clubs. Jimmy glances down at the cards, and then back up at her. "Well, what do you know. Now I have to wonder what your hidden one is."

𝐈 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐒 . @callousliability.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

His gaze didn't seem to waver while looking at her, dealing out another card face up, a 3 of spades. "Well, you got me wondering how close you are to the magic number." He'd raise a brow in her direction, his expression relaxed. "Hit or stay?"

"Been a moment, hasn't it?" Taking a long drag from his cigarette, his weight shifts closer towards the wall he's standing next to. "Prime spot for smoking, apparently. It's nice and quiet here."

Jimmy slid a card down off from the top of the deck he was holding, flipping it upwards to reveal a 7 of hearts. A small grin pulled across his face as he placed his hand back on top of the deck of cards. "Alright. Feeling lucky, or do you want to stay?"

He half froze when her arms wrapped around him, Jimmy glancing over at her after her gestures of affection. " . . . Jimmy. My name is Jimmy."

"Alright, then. Let's get your hand sorted." He would deal out two cards for Mirage, one face down, and one face up, a 7 of diamonds for the visible card. Jimmy's own cards on the table had one down and one up, his visible card being a 5 of clubs. "Take a hit or stay?"

— Again, he hadn't expected her to be quite as touchy as she was, dark eyes shifting towards her as she hooked her arm around his.

Upon hearing that she was relatively new to the area, he couldn't help but feel a slight flare of annoyance, though he kept it to himself. She had been the one to suggest the mall in the first place. Jimmy muses to himself as she pulled out her phone and got a location for the mall. —

Jimmy placed down two cards in front of himself, placing his fingers underneath another pair, though not moving his hand yet. "I'm up for a few rounds of blackjack, granted, I'd be the dealer in this case. The odds would be slightly in my favor." He leaned back into his chair, —

𝐈 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐒 . @callousliability.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

He shoved both hands into his pockets, leaning against the wall a little bit. "The mall wouldn't be a bad idea. Plenty of stuff to look around at over there." It's been a moment since he's really looked around at a mall, shopping wasn't something he did often. "Should we get going?"

𝐈 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐒 . @callousliability.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

"I like doing small slight of hand tricks while shuffling. Something I just happen to find fun to do. It keeps your hands busy." He shuffles them together once more, sliding the deck into his hands as he maneuvered them around. "Ever done Strip Blackjack, or would you prefer the normal variant?"

— Generally he wouldn't entertain something like this, but she seemed nice enough to make an effort.

— The only thing he really changed appearance wise was that he was wearing jeans, a tanktop and dark denim jacket over it. "You look just fine to me. Maybe a little overdressed, but that's just my opinion." He was more looking to see how or where this would even go. —

In the time in between, he showed up in the lobby of the hotel, hanging around one of the larger plants as a means to people watch as he waited. Once he spotted her and she recognized him, he waved over in her direction. —

One moment she wasn't there, and the next, Jimmy could feel the eyes of someone over his shoulder. He'd momentarily pause in his card shuffling so it was silent. "It wouldn't be strip poker at that point, it would be Strip solitaire." Finally looking her direction, Jimmy resumed his shuffling.

He's shuffling through a pack of cards. Riffling them down together and bending them upwards in order to make the cards come together in a single arc. Even with it being an older deck, he has a way with making them flow almost effortlessly.

𓆙Serpentine𓆙 I feel the need to reiterate, Jimmy is DEFINITELY not a healthy person to be in a relationship with. He's very manipulative and has a complex about having control of the situations that he is in.

— but her kissing him on the cheek was certainly not what he'd expected. He lifted a hand to touch at where she'd left the mark of lipstick, glancing down at the smudged pigment. "Maybe you'll hear from me soon."

As she turned around, a soft grin tugged at the corners of his mouth. His gaze flickered over her as she approached him, taking note of her excitable expressions. On one hand, he didn't expect that he would have been able to get her number, —

"Basic . . . Keep telling yourself that." He flicked the ash from his cigarette while looking him over again. While Jimmy isn't a fashion designer, he can't imagine this being 'normal'. "A colorful priest from Florida. Somehow that makes even less sense."

"Hm, maybe I'll have to look and see what might be available. Makes me wonder what they'd even have on VHS still." He takes a couple of drags from his cigarette, slowly exhaling as to feel the full burn of it in his nose. "Ideally if I can find a horror movie, that'd be great."

"Ah, neat. I don't think I've seen a mask like that before." He nodded as the mask emotes, scanning over the other somewhat. "How is it able to tell what you're feeling underneath the mask? Better question, how hard is it to see through it?"

— The idea of strip poker at least seemed entertaining, he could already picture playing it and the Captain ending up down to his socks—. "Hell, probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I know I've got some playing cards somewhere. I could propose the idea of it sometime."

"Yeah, plus the sugar needed for it is a restricted item that only the Captain can have access to getting. There's a lot that only the Captain can access, for 'safety' reasons." He lifted his hands and made air quotes to put emphasis on the word safety. —

He didn't initially see the teddy bears, but now that he has, he can't stop thinking about how one would even begin to WASH it. " I don't think I know how to describe it. It's unlike anything I've seen before."

"Our paths are just intersecting, nothing more, nothing less." He shrugged lightly, flicking the ash from his cigarette, watching the flakes fall down towards the ground. "If I was following you, I'd know your daily routine, which I do not. Which could change, if I decide to join you."

Her brief hesitation and silence was met with a sly grin, Jimmy laughing before he felt her breath on his skin. He turned his head over his shoulder to look back at her. "I'm sorry, I assumed you could handle a taste of your own medicine. Guess I was wrong. Either way, we're both soaked now."

He was able to take note of her body language, how meek and shy she seemed to be. " Not quite, you just seemed familiar ." He took another drag and blew the smoke up over his head before turning his attention back to her. " Are you lost or something ? "
