Aki leaned back in her chair, sitting near the wall and drinking something random. She wasn't exactly sure what it was, she just said 'surprise me, dear' to the barkeep. Surprise her they did, as she could already feels the effects of the drink setting in.
Her chair creaked as she leaned back in it, quickly draining the drink she had been given. She eyed it, then had her chair plop back down as she hopped up, strolling to the barkeep. "So~ what drink did I get?" She questioned, obviously starting to get a bit drunk.
The barkeep shrugged. "Just a really strong beer." Was the reply, making Aki frown. She tossed a coin to them, paying for her drink as she sat back down. Just the usual gambling and games were going on, nothing of interest to her as she leaned back once more.
What they needed was a good show

Javal had entered the bar trying to meet new friends, after all from Javal's experience that's the best place to find them. He had recently made his way to the city a couple of days ago but only recently had free time to explore after completing a security contract. He sat down at the bar with his retainer Nadia his friends Bootsamon and Asleipmir the horse had decided to stay at the inn they were sleeping at for the week and get some rest.
Javal smiled widely "Hello there good sir may I get your best tasting drink good man".
Nadia quietly and shyly asked, "May I get your strongest drink"
Javal got a root beer and Nadia got the strongest beer they had both enjoying the drinks with Javal happy with the amount of bubbles and Nadia not even getting slightly drunk which to her was a bit of a disappointment.

Aki's eyes narrowed into slits, a mischievous look to her as she saw a fellblood walk in with a friend. There it was, her chance to start some games. She plopped her chair back down, reaching into her bag and grabbing a pen and paper. She scribbled on it, writing down some words. 'Join me, lets chat', it read. She crumbled it up and tossed it over, watching it land on their table.
Now to wait, needing them to open it up and go over to her. Hopefully they could figure out from the general direction it was tossed from that it was her. She'd go up to them with a more soured mood if she had to, the paper tossing was just for some more fun. She was grinning, looking like she was pretty drunk. She had neglected to think of a plan for the fellblood, but she could brainstorm quickly. She just wanted some fun, and the fellblood seemed a bit innocent with his drink choice. She could easily work with it, maybe push the limits of what she could do or start a good ol' fashioned fight.
She just needed some patience

Nadia immediately caught the crumbled up ball of paper sent their way, she read it and looked around the room trying to find the source. She had an idea it could any of the people here since they were all drunkards, in her focused state of looking around the room Javal managed to look the paper.
He was excited maybe whoever this person was would like to be his friend, "Nadia, can we meet this person please"
Nadia a bit frustrated still searching the room with her eyes for the target says, "Fine boss, we'll go let's just be careful"
After searching the room with her eyes she found who she thought threw it was, A drunk felinkin with a smile on their face. She motions for Javal to head to her. They both get up and sit with the felinkin.
Javal excitedly says, "Hello There, I'm Javal would you like to be my friend" and puts his hand out eagerly.

She cackled. "Hey" She said, not taking his hand. "Aki, nice to meet ya." She leaned back a bit more, pushing how far she could go. "You guys look fun, and I'm bored." She said, cutting to the chase quite quickly. "So~ what do you both think about putting on a show for all our lovely friends?" She looked at each person, staring at them for a beat too long.
Aki cackled again. "eh I don't care, join me or not I'll still have some fun." She leaned back a bit more and fall out of her chair, hopping up like a jack in the box. "So, whadd'ya say, friends?"

"A show what type of show I like shows" Javal says excitedly, Nadia says, "Calm down boss" and looks over the felinkin, "Depends what is in it for us, what type of show would this be".
"Come on Nadia let's do it whatever it is. This Aki person seems like they know how to have fun around here. Whatever it is me and my retainer are in as long as it isn't wicked if it is we will leave".

Aki, getting the word, stuck her hand out and took Javal's, shaking it. "Thats great to hear, now..." She looked around, spotting someone who she had a run in with a bit ago. Hm, they'd work just fine. "Stay here, I'll get us one more friend. We'll just play a game of cards to decide on our show." Aki said, hopping out of her chair and strolling over to the person.
Tapping their shoulder, she gestured to their table and held out a deck of cards. From the table you couldn't hear what exactly she said, but it was obvious she was inviting them to play cards. They nodded and followed her back to the table, where she set up the game.
"Rules are that you gotta play till the end, no exiting. No fighting during the game. Cheating means you automatically lose. Got it all? Great." She shuffled the cards, dealing them all out. What she didn't say was the penalty for losing, or what the show options would be. Or the fact that she was cheating, but on Javals side. All that didn't matter yet
She dealt the cards, grinning slightly. Not a moment could be serious with her when she was getting drunk, and drunk she was. She finished, holding up her cards. "Simple game, easy rules, lets start then?"

Javal was relieved that Aki had accepted his handshake many people had usually thought him strange and left him hanging, that was one of the most painful things he'd experienced.
As Aki left to grab another friend, Javal started to look across the room wondering who it would be, a game of cards would be fun plus whatever Aki had planned, Nadia took this chance to talk to her boss, "Boss you sure this is a good idea I mean it doesn't even look like this Aki person knows what they're doing"
"Trust me Nadia this seems like fun, that and not like we have anything else to do at this tavern".
"Fair Point, Boss, I guess I'll trust your word on this but if this goes bad don't say I didn't warn you".
As Javal was given his cards he was smiling he had gotten decent cards, while Nadia was completely stone-faced not revealing anything about her cards.
"Let the games begin", Javal says excitedly. He loved games, especially card games.

Aki wiped her face into a blank look the moment she picked up her cards, scanning them before beginning the game. The person she selected was good at card games, and wasn't a fan of losing at them. Especially if there was anything at stake, which there was. She had promised a bit of money to the man if he won, but she was doing her best to make sure Javal would win.
She was grinning on the inside, knowing there was no way this would go well. Either Javal would win and the man would get mad and potentially start a fight, she would win and the man would get mad, or the man would win and she could just start a fight. There was no option for peace with this, she was sure of it.

Javal was excited to play with such good opponents. This Aki person, Nadia, and a big burly Aviankin fellow with a large spear behind his back. Javal was happy that he managed to make friends so quickly today. He placed down his cards and started humming a tune to himself, he wasn’t very worried about winning to be honest. For some odd reason Javal had never lost a card game in his life, he never tried to win but as he had fun it just kind of happened. To be totally honest with himself he didnt know what game they were even playing right now.
Javal asked a bit excitedly, “So how’s going first”.
Nadia points at Aki, “As our gracious host to this game how about you go first Aki”.

Aki gave a little grin to Nadia. "Of course, I'll start us off." She said swiftly, messing with her cards. Placing them down, she still held her small grin on her face. She had a sinking feeling in the pits of her stomach that Nadia was going to mess this up somehow. Hopefully not, but it seemed likely.
Then, blinking quickly, she realized she still had yet to say what they were playing. "We're playing cheat. If you don't know the rules, basically you need to get all your cards into the pile. We go up, starting from aces and going to kings. You may lie about how many of the card you are placing, say put down a 5 instead of a 6 when its the time for a 6 to be placed. But, you may challenge someone about if they are lying, and if they are they must take the whole pile. First person to have no cards wins."
Eyeing every player, she grinned and placed down a two instead of an ace. Let the games begin, she thought with an inward smile.

Nadia was a bit apprehensive about participating in this dumb game, they could be doing anything else right now. She was dumbfounded that her liege had decided to waste their time playing with this intoxicated catfolk. Nadia was intently watching Aki, whatever this woman was up to Nadia didn’t like it. Javal was super excited to play whatever game it was he was happy that they were playing he just wanted to have fun.
Nadia paid close attention to Aki’s explanation of the game's rules but Javal was too busy stuck on the game’s name.
“What type of name is cheat? Isn’t cheating in games bad?”, he thought to himself.
The game seemed complicated and confusing to Javal, lying was not his most robust quality so he planned on winning fair and square. After Aki placed her card down which Javal figured was a 1, Javal then placed his red two-facedown above it. Nadia then put a mysterious card after Javal.
“Just so you guys know I placed down a red two”, Javal exclaims.

Aki frowned, figuring that was a horrible way of trying to lie. "Cheat!" She said, going to pick up the cards. All but hers were real, and she frowned. Taking them into her pile, she looked at Javal. "You know you aren't meant to announce your card, right? You keep it a secret." She explained again, realizing this was gonna be harder than she thought. Maybe Nadia could be of assistance to this, and win.
"Anyways, your turn big guy." She pointed at the avainfolk. He drew out a five of clubs, placing it down instead of the ace to restart. Javal was probably going to be the only honorable one in this game, to be honest. Aki was slightly annoyed at that idea, but she still had Nadia who could win the game. As long as she and the avianfolk lost.

Javal looked up at Aki smiled and said, “I know but I thought it’d be nice for everyone to know what cards I have. Honesty after all is an important keystone of the path of justice and righteousness but not to worry dear friend Aki I shall win this game either way”.
He listened intently to the rules again but just smiled through it most of it made some sense but Javal was confident in his ability to win.
Nadia stayed quiet knowing how her liege is she just looked around the table studying her opponents carefully. Although her liege may lose this battle of cards easily due to his unfortunate habit of honesty, she would win this for him.
“Your move Aki”, Javal said looking at the feline fellow he was excited to see what move she’d pull this game was going to be so much fun.

She gave a doubtful look to Javal briefly, then glanced at her cards. Placing down a two of diamonds on the pile, she leaned back again. Then, she pointed to Javal, signaling his turn to go. Aki looked around at the loud building for a moment, the chaos and crowd being an odd setting for this peaceful game.
She drew her attention back to the game, watching the avionfolk fumble with his cards into a new order absentmindedly. Seemed he was getting bored, she couldn't have that just yet.
