...Come to think of it, he hasn't so much as seen the man blink. Or breathe. Or, like...do anything that a human being is supposed to do. Alarm bells go off in his head--an unfamiliar situation dealing with an unfamiliar foe. Great, Steel. You stuck your nose where you probably won't be able to get it out.
But how can you reveal the cover of someone fake without alerting them? He stays quiet for now, waiting for the stranger to slip up. He--or, it, whatever it is--has to make a mistake sometime.]
no subject
All things considered, Venkman's got plenty of Pay Day money to burn. He raises one last time, and for the first time since arriving at this table, the human shell grins- ever so slightly. If Juno pays close attention, he'll notice a glint of sharp teeth.
The remaining bikers fold, grumbling- all except for one, who raises as well. The river card is revealed:
Nine of Diamonds.]
no subject
...Of, uh, what? Being a vampire? He's got nothing to go off besides the small smile. The guy's got something up his sleeve, that's for sure. He just can't figure out what. And, as impulsive as Juno is, he's not going to go accusing someone of cheating when these bikers are on his back and might jump him if he is, in fact, wrong.
But he's not wrong, is he? Something is most definitely off about this man. Juno narrows his eyes. The last time he accused someone of cheating without any sort of evidence, he nearly got killed. But that doesn't mean he can play it so the guy can reveal his own hand. Metaphorically speaking.
...For now, he'll reveal his cards to the table--Six of Spades, Two of Hearts.]
Though I came to this table to play a nice, fair game, boys. [He says, looking pointedly at the stranger.]
no subject
Dead quiet.
Venkman's already set his own cards down. So has the one biker who remained in the game- Three of Hearts, Two of Spades. He got a straight.
The biker was in the process of raking in his chips when Juno spoke up. His jaw sets.]
You callin' me a cheat?
[Venkman gives Juno a look. It's hard to tell what exactly the look means, but Juno might get the sense that Venkman's judging him.]
no subject
Is it just him, or is it hot in here?]
You? No, no, not you. You played it fair and square. Perfect game, good on you for winning that hand.
[Shit. If he doesn't say something to cool this guy's jets, he's going to end up in a back alley with all his ribs broken. He grits his teeth, his mind racing to come up with something to say. Deescalating situations isn't really Juno's gig--he's more the type to end up pissing people off and having to punch or bluff his way outta things. In this case, bluffing seems to be failing.]
I mean, it's not exactly fair to have someone like that at the table, huh? Guy's practically a robot.
[He gestures towards the blank stranger, trying to play it off like a joke. Maybe the bikers'll buy into that.]
no subject
That's what I thought, stranger.
[Then, another biker:]
What's the matter? Don't like it when people know how to have a poker face?
[And another:]
He's playing the game, ain't he?
[Venkman steeples his hands, sits back, and watches Juno try to wriggle his way out of this. He looks faintly amused.]
no subject
...Whatever he's right about. He gets up out of his chair, his forehead so furrowed with wrinkles that it looks as though a blood vessel might pop on his face.]
God--God dammit, will you listen to me? This guy doesn't even blink or breathe, for God's sake!
[His tone is much more forceful as he tries to make his way around the table and grab the stranger's shoulder. The dealer looks unnerved.]
no subject
[Even more grumbling. None of them seem to notice how Juno's hand phases through Venkman's shoulder.
Venkman notices, however, and he frowns lightly at it, before glancing up to meet Juno's eye.]
no subject
[The confusion is legitimate in response to the comment--he doesn't fucking know what the hell Kanto is nor does he understand who the champion is and he just came here to have fun and everything's going wrong.
Juno's bewilderment is exacerbated when he realizes that he hasn't actually touched this guy's shoulder. What the hell is this guy? He freezes for a moment, unsure of how to proceed, before staggering back like he'd seen a ghost.]
What the actual hell are you?!
[Of course, he doesn't actually look where he's going, which means he's probably going to end up bumping into one of the bikers.]
no subject
Look at that! You're scaring off the competition! What's wrong with you?
[Truly a hypocritical statement from this group of bikers, but they all seem to agree, grumbling to themselves. They begin to stand up.
Juno has the bad luck to stumble into a very backwards into the arms of one of the Roughnecks. He hasn't been playing this game, but he's certainly heard the commotion. He glares down at Juno.]
You causin' trouble for my crew, stranger?
[Venkman is just trying to sneak out unnoticed at this point, hoping that Juno will be too occupied to actually chase after him.]
no subject
Okay, okay, cool it. Juno freezes up, glancing briefly over his shoulder towards the man towering above him. He gives him an uneasy grin, cycling through Plans A through F (all equally terrible that result in his imminent demise) until he gets to Plan G.
Plan G will have to do.]
Oh, this is your crew? My deepest apologies sir, let me just--
[And then he just sprints towards Venkman, moving to just full-body tackle him.
Hey, he never said Plan G was a good plan.]
no subject
The... also good[? For Juno, at least] news is that getting bodily sent to the ground dislodges a fluffy black tail previously hidden in Venkman's clothes.
Within seconds of Juno noticing this, the Illusion flickers- what he's not holding is a pissed off Zorua, who snarls in his face before wriggling free and dashing for the exit.]
no subject
Well. He hadn't been expecting that. Out of sheer surprise, Juno lets go of the weird little mammal, scrambling to his feet.]
HEY! Get back here, you asshole!
[And then he sprints out the door following it. It must be one of those weird monsters. Pokémon? He's feeling some serious deja vu from that one time he had to chase a cat down a busy street for a client. Except, instead of a cat, it's a weird feral fox thing that somehow cast an illusion of being a real person.
...Maybe he can catch it? That person at the mart gave him a bunch of PokéBalls. He pulls one out, still chasing after Venkman. Gritting his teeth, Juno skids to a stop and flings it at the Zorua. Does it hit?]
no subject
It also regathers the attention of the bikers.]
Did that guy just hit a Pokemon?
[One track mind with these guys. They start to advance after Juno.]
