"You have GOT to be kidding me."

Standing in the open doorway, Cisco stares at the bar shaking his head.

With a sigh he tosses his toolbelt onto a bench beside the doorway and steps through into Milliways, letting the door close behind him.

His annoyance at what he had to go through to get here evaporates quickly, and when he takes a seat at the counter he’s all smiles.

"Hi, Bar. Remember me?"

That is absolutely not a squeal of delight when Bar produces a napkin with a cheerful greeting and a mug of Butterbeer to go along with it, anyone who hears one is clearly just imagining things.

Taking a drink, he turns on his stool to observe the bar at large, wondering just what exactly he can get into this time.

"Video games, both retro and new school. Lots of fantasy free-roaming games, but also the occasional first person shooter," he replies then asks, "What's Sabaac?"

[iprotectyou]

Baze has only tangentially heard of video games, so Cisco might as well be speaking a different language. "Shooter" makes sense to Baze, but why would someone want to virtually shoot someone else, when guns are so plentiful? Maybe shooting people in real life is frowned upon. Weird.

"Sabaac is a card game with a special table with a suspension field. There are face cards--including the Idiot, the Queen, the Evil One, and the Star--and four suits of fifteen pip cards: Flasks, Sabers, Staves, and Coins."

Baze wouldn't be the first one to think Cisco is speaking another language, so it's okay if he does.

"Huh. Sounds kind of like poker. Minus the suspension field."

"Well, would you like to play a game? I can teach you Sabaac, and you can teach me this poker," Baze says, gulping down more Suicide slush.

"Sure!" he replies, grinning at the idea of learning a game from another universe.

"Full-disclosure, though, I'm terrible at poker. I can totally teach you the rules and how it's played, just don't think my technique is going to win you any hold-em tournaments."

It's the poker face, he doesn't have one, but he is going to start humming the song after ordering another slush for himself in preparation to play.

Baze orders a deck of Sabaac cards and a table with a suspension field. He takes a gulp of his cream slush, and deals out the cards, gleefully explaining the rules. He's always looking for another Sabaac player.

(OOC: Annnd because I don't know the rules of Sabaac, we can handwave that Baze taught Cisco and fade there? Thanks so much for the thread!)
