3rd Candelabrum - Video

[Considering the dim lighting of the area and the fact that a mug of hard cider seems to be beside him, Lucifer appears to posting from inside the bar in Ponyville. He has one hoof up on the table he's sitting at, head tilted against it at the moment.]

And here I was afraid that this world was somehow a dry one. I would call finally finding this bar luck, out of lack of any better word to describe it. It doesn't have much in the way of selection, but I imagine I'll make do.

It seems the Gala has left us with quite a bit to think about, hasn't it? It would seem that someone isn't happy that we're here, despite the fact we never asked to be here. Then again, perhaps their message was just another part of whatever plan brought us here. Whoever they are and whatever the point of the message, I suppose I need to applaud them for being interesting.

There'll come plenty of time to discuss the times to come; more time than some of you want, less than some will need. There's nothing wrong with thorough pre-planning, of course, but all work and no play does tend to make us dull, doesn't it. That's why I'd like to propose a friendly game this next Saturday.

I'm curious. Is anyone here familiar with poker?

No, I'm afraid not. I've made her acquaintance, but that's all I know of her.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's a friendly game; I'm much more interested in the company then the money. I'd assume a simple twenty bit buy-in would do nicely.

Texas Hold 'Em is a favorite of mine, but if others are more inclined to the traditional version I wouldn't complain.

Ah, well. Where are you from, then? Are you a human? Er... or were you before we all became ponies and dragons and whatnot?

I think I can manage that, then! I do love rubbing elbow with all sorts of chums, and what better way than over a proper game like poker? The last time the chaps at my club went a round, we had a rousing good time! Will there be libation to speak of for the event? I can see if I can barter for a barrel of cider from Ms. Applejack if there's a need.

I suppose you could say I'm from here and there. There's no place I would truly call home, though there's certainly enough I've settled in for a while.

[It isn't entirely a lie. While the Makai/Demon World/Amala was his home proper, Lucifer wandered enough throughout the earth and the other world and all creation that he could easily get away with just calling himself a wanderer.

He doesn't answer the question about whether or not he's a human. He hopes his answer about where he's from will be whimsical enough to distract Bertie, or make Bertie assume he is human.]

I was thinking of the bar, personally. It'd be a friendly enough setting and no one would have to feel like they were, perhaps, boxed in in someone's home. A neutral place so we can all get to know one another.

[Bertie would put an impatient ferret to shame with his distractability.]

Oh, you're a traveler, are you? Into some sort of sales, are you? Not the jute business, I hope.

[He frowns, but shakes off the notion.]

And the bar sounds and excellent place to hold this soiree. What time were you planning to begin? I'll certainly be by. Might even drag a chum or two along if I can.

A salesman is one of the hats I put on, yes.

I hope you do. The more the merrier, after all.

Ah, well, I appreciate a solid selection of hats from which to choose, Star, my good fellow. They do complete any ensemble, I find.

I'll look forward to meeting you in the flesh this Saturday, then. Should we stop round the bar about 7 or 8?

[Youre a rather literal fellow, aren't you Bertie? Or perhaps just a bit dull. Either way it shouldn't be too hard to read or find out about.

In fact. You might be useful in getting information about others from, if he plays nice with you Bertie.]

Seven if you wish to be early and converse, 8 for the start of the game.

You're quite an interesting fellow. If you stop by early, I'd be happy to buy you a drink.

[He's a chap of simple pleasures and even simpler thoughts]

Oh, jolly sporting of you! I shall arrive at the appointed hour. I can't stand up a fellow offering a drink, what? Toodle pip until then, Star!
