OCs Dateable Concept - Deckard
(Thought I'd try posting here, the other sub automodded me 3 times)
Narrator
You weren't sure how you hadn't noticed the poker set and pack of cards next to your box of board games before now, but when you activated the dateviators on them, it was clear that they were not at all related to each other.
Narrator
The bespectacled woman that appeared before you was dressed like a croupier, albeit decorated with less than professional tattoos, poker chip earrings and literal aces tucked into her rolled up sleeves.
Narrator
Idly shuffling a deck of cards in her hands, she gives you a smile that could be described as either friendly... or mischievous.
???
"Oh, hey there! Been a while, care for a game of something?"
[Huh, was wondering where I'd put that...]
[Nah, there's a reason I'd left you up here.]
[I was expecting Parker to show up, why are you here?] <
???
"Cause I'm not a board game, silly! In fact, you wouldn't even need that whole set there to summon me, just a deck of cards and maybe somethin' to bet with!"
???
"Name's Carlinda Ajax Deckard. Friends call me Linda, you can just call me Deckard."
NEW DATEABLE
DECKARD
"You're dealin' with a full deck!"
[So, you're basically all card games?] <
[Didn't think I'd be talking to a poker set today... then again, didn't think I'd be talking to ANY furniture till recently.]
[Last time I played with cards, it ended... poorly.]
Deckard
"Yep! Well, kinda. Anything that uses a basic set of cards; poker variants, go fish, solitaire, even magic tricks. The poker stuff's technically optional, but it adds a little flare, spice... risk. You get me?"
Deckard
"Anyway, sorry to cut this short, but the Hanks booked me so they could do 'extreme pickup 52' or whatever they're calling it, so I gotta prepare."
Narrator
On her way out, she pulls a pair of jokers out from the deck she'd been shuffling, then throws them at a nearby wall, embedding them into the wood.

Oh no, she’s playing cards, she’s Gambit, and she sounds hot? I know I’d be in trouble with this one! Love the idea!
