The Hand, As Dealt

He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

William Shakespeare

Everett was born and raised among miners in Crom. His mother was from elsewhere, and moved there to marry his stepfather when he was very young. It was never a good relationship, and that only got worse as he got older. He took refuge in cards long before he was old enough to be drinking, but while he was a clever kid, he wasn't too clever to get caught cheating, and he wasn't enough of a kid for it to be forgiven just like that. On the other hand, working it off got him away from his stepfather, and it put marks into his pocket. He soaked up information like a sponge, and sometimes that information was useful. By later adolescence, he was starting to fancy that soon he'd be able to move up in the world, but "moving up" turned out to involve learning to pour drinks at a dive bar in Greenfields. It wasn't precisely glamorous, though it was still better than working in the mines.

Then, abruptly, new instructions: Off to the Weyr, with Jo, a job already lined up to hold him until the next clutch hit the sands. Hadn't he been telling anybody who'd listen that his real father had been a bronzerider? Maybe that would breed true. Meantime, well, he's making himself useful.

On the Table

The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong.

David Mamet

• Arrived from somewhere in Crom in the summer of turn 38.
• One of the regular bartenders at the Snowasis, if presently very junior among them.
• Very chatty while he's working, but if it's slow, usually winds up playing solitaire.
• Hasn't yet taken anybody up on an offer to join them for a few hands, but seems to like watching other people play.
• Seems to be on quite friendly terms with the Greenfields crew. Somebody's cousin? Then again, he's friendly with a lot of people.

Ante Up

All stealing is comparative. If you come to absolutes, pray who does not steal?

Ralph Waldo Emerson

• Always happy to pour a drink and talk. Need an impartial ear, a shoulder to cry on? That's what bartenders are for, isn't it?
• People interested in playing other Greenfields criminal types should talk to Jo. People already playing other Greenfields criminal types should beg free drinks.
• If you have plot info that it'd be helpful to distribute more widely, tell Ev. If you have plot info that you don't want anybody else to know... tell Ev anyway. What can it hurt? He's so trustworthy.

Wine in, truth out.
