Ah, that's right. The Zombie Hunter Table. Without further adieu you step out of the car and towards the nondescript building in which The Inventory is housed. A bouncer, who may or may not have been Dudley from Street Fighter, opens the door for you as you show him your invitation. You step inside and inhale the musty smells of smoke and alcohol. You make your way through the semi-crowded room, noticing a few familiar faces as you head towards the back. You're pretty sure you saw Solid Snake sharing a a beer with Gordon Freeman, but you didn't get a good enough look. No one seems to pay much attention to you as you cross the room. Finally, you reach the entrance to the VIP area. You show your invitation to the bouncer up front (some Half Life Civil Protection goon by the look of him), and he lets you in.
You step inside the room and you see your four fellow players already at the table: Jill (http://i.imgur.com/wTWduhA.jpg), Juliet (http://i.imgur.com/mxRXLgy.jpg), Clarie (http://i.imgur.com/gGPcoa9.jpg) and Annie (http://i.imgur.com/Y0sxHKN.png).
"It looks like we've got our last player now," Claire says as you come in.
"That we do. C'mon, pull up a chair. We're just about to start," Jill says.
"Aww, she's cute! She seems kinda young, though," Juliet says. "She reminds me of some of the kids I used to babysit."
"You babysat?" Annie asks, amused.
"Yeah...it didn't end well."
"That...uh...doesn't sound good," you say, nervous.
"Oh...nothing, like, bad or anything. At least not bad by my standards, with zombies and everything. It was just a regular person's kind of bad," she answers.
"I guess if she's here that means she got an invite, though," Claire says. "If the club cleared her I guess it's okay with us."
"Yeah, I guess. Anyway, it's nice to see you, Claire. I heard Zoe supposed to be at this table, though?" Juliet asks.
"Yeah, but someone dropped out of the shooter table at the last minute, so they asked her to take over since her game is all about guns," Jill says. "So I called Claire on short notice and she said 'yes.'"
"Well, it's just nice to be doing something for a change," Claire sighs.
"Aw, chin up. You'll get cycled back in eventually," Jill says kindly.
"Says the girl who's been in two of the last three," Claire fires back, amused.
"Heh, good point," Jill says. "Anyway, I guess we should go on with this, so let's get to the rules. We're playing basic five card draw so the game is faster, so that means no betting of any kind. At the beginning of each hand we all receive five cards. After we have those, each of us can turn in any of those, up to all five, for replacements. Once we've done that, everyone puts down their hands and the loser has to remove an article of clothing. Once a person is naked all of us here at the table get to decide what that person has to do as punishment. The last person left with anything on is the winner. Is that clear to everyone?"
Everyone at the table nods in affirmation and the cards are dealt out.
