[He spends a little while just explaining the rules of poker that I absolutely am not qualified to educate Power lastname on, but he'll be sure to simplify it to the point where it's basically like. If you have enough of the good cards, you've got a better hand.]
Right, so first I'm gonna deal you out a hand. [He gives her five cards. And gives himself another five.] Now, you're gonna wanna keep 'em hidden from me or else I'll know if you're bluffing, kay?
[ Random card generator has gifted Power a two-pair of 8's. She just mimics him to show off her cards, even though she's barely got an idea of what they mean. ]
Do I win?!
[ She's leaning down looking at the King and Jack on Spike's hand. The face cards are prettier. ]
[ I actually had to look up Go Fish because it's been so long I'd forgotten how to play, and here I am learning that WikiHow (which I clicked because I thought it'd be funny) thinks Go Fish is a game where you have to get ALL FOUR SUITS OF A NUMBER TO DISCARD??? Go Fish extreme.I assume this is the typical simplified 2-card version. ]
Alright! Give me the blood!
[ She's got her cards in her hand. C'mon, let's go! ]
[No, Spike plays the XTREME version where you have to get every single iteration of the card in whatever building you're in. Yeah, they're playing the two card version, my brain will break.]

[ IT'S OKAY. I, LOWE, KNOW THE ROUGH RULES OF POKER SO THIS WILL BE FINE.
She's holding her cards to herself, picking at the frayed edges. Pictures... she decides in this moment that she likes the red cards. ]
Call!
[ IS SHE DOING THIS RIGHT. ]

[He just puts the King and Jack cards. I mean by the rules of regular poker, she's probably won but uh.]
But we're not betting anything yet so I can't exactly celebrate.
no subject
So just having higher cards wins?
[ What does she know? Approximately nothing, that's what. ]
no subject
I'm not gonna lie I'm a bit confused by this simplified version of poker we've made. How about I teach you Go Fish instead?
no subject
[ She has NO idea if that's the case or not. She just wants the prize. ]

...Okay, how do you play Goldfish? [ Wrong. ]

[And he explains Go Fish. Here's hoping Power (and me) can keep track of this extremely basic game.]
Think you got it?
no subject
Alright! Give me the blood!
[ She's got her cards in her hand. C'mon, let's go! ]
no subject
Beat me first, devil brat.
Got any fours?
no subject
Power hands over a four, though. ]
I want your sixes. Give me all of them.
no subject
Drive a hard bargain, brat. [He hands a six over. Hmm.]
Got any sevens?
no subject
[ She looks at her cards and looks proud. ]
I don't have any. Give me your twos!
no subject
Out of luck. Go Fish is what you're meant to say but who cares.
Got any queens?
no subject
. . . Nope! No queens! [ None whatsoever. ]
no subject
Cough 'em up.
no subject
[ She slides forward a queen. If only because she wants the prize more than she's actually willing to risk Spike withholding it for once. ]
Aces!
no subject
[He tosses her a Queen.]
Hmmm, got any tens?
no subject
Hmm, she's looking at her hand and then at Spike's. So far so evenly matched, ish... bah!
She flicks a ten at him, pouting. ]
Jacks!
no subject
Twos!
no subject
[ That's because you discarded them Power. ]
