Lyn smiled at the sight, figuring this was a nice opportunity to possibly make some cash. She went to get a room first, planning to check if some wealthy folks were interested in some gambling. Going to get me a room - no need for something overly expensive, as long as it's decent and has a bathroom and a good bed - for at least until Sunday.
Once I'm done, 6 in Intelligence to check the bar's patrons to see if some of them look like potential gambling opponents who'd play for money.

You go to the bar sure enough several people are interested, especially a green haired woman in a long purple dress. "I'll take that bet." She said pulling a stack of 100$ bills out of her clevage and setting them on the table.

Carter
Raising an eyebrow with curiosity at the unusual woman, Carter nodded, sitting at the table in question, shuffling the cards. "Okay. So what's the game, and what's the initial bet?" the brunette asked. "...Blackjack? Poker?" 3 in Agility to shuffle the cards good.

"Poker, five card draw." The greenette says. "So what brings you to town?" She asks sitting awfully close by your side for someone playing cards with you.

(OOC: Given how this is EAS, I imagine people are more aware of the existence of supernatural stuff, so I won't have her be as subtle about it as I'd have been otherwise.)
Carter
"Oh, you know I'm from out of town?" Carter asked, backing aside a little as she played. "Well... you could say I'm sort of a supernatural and ghost stories enthusiast. Investigating that kind of stuff is positively thrilling to me", she said, a claim which, while not the complete truth, wasn't a lie. Matching her bet up to $300.
11 in Gambling (Poker) to play fairly.

"Oh I see. Then you must be interested in those boys who have gone missing?" Morrigan said as she sees your bet and raises you another 50 dollars. "Well I wouldn't hold my breath finding them... Some predators make sure to leave no trace of their prey."

She raised an eyebrow. "What kind of predator?" she asked as she kept playing. Repeating my stones.

She discards 4 cards, and draws four more. "Oh you know... The kind that feeds on lifeforce itself. Clearly it's the work of some kind of succubus. I mean all male victims, high school students, it can't be much more obvious than that." She said sliding all her cash forward. "I'll bet all my cash plus." She took off her shoes and set them on the table. "These barely worn designer pumps from Italy."

"Succubus? Succubi disintegrate their victims?" Carter asked, before pausing. "...Um... yeah, no. I can't match that bet anywhere close to that much", she said honestly, folding, and handing her the $350 she had bet in so far.

"Oh yes. It's possible if they drain enough life energy fast enough. Sucks so much life out of them they age and decay in less than a minute." She said. "Of course they wouldn't be able to do it all at once. First drain would probably render them middle to old age first, then they'd need a week to recover enough for a second draining."
"I see. Sorry I guess I went a bit too high." She said shuffling and bidding for the next hand. She leaves her shoes on the table. Even going so far as to rest her feet in your lap.

"...Damn. You know a lot about 'em", Lyn observed, putting $200 on the table for the next hand, though she paused when the girl put her feet in her lap. "...Bit early for this kind of familiarity, wouldn't you say?" she pointed out.

"Let's just say I have a vested interest in making sure such a ravenous example of the species is taken care of." She said. Matching your bet, and drawing 2 cards. "Most would be honored to have any part of me in their lap." She said in mock offense.
(Your current hand. 2 of hearts, 3 of hearts, Queen of Spades, 7 of Hearts, and 7 of Clubs.)

"Then maybe you should try putting your any part in their laps instead", Lyn retorted politely, though she still patted the feet aside to indicate she still wanted them off. She had never been flirted with by a woman before, and given the kind of life she had lived so far, her own psychological issues and the danger her self-imposed duties brought with them, she wasn't exactly used to give in to romantic impulses.
Discarding three cards from her hand to draw three more, she asked: "...A... vested interest in them being 'taken care of'? What does that mean? Are you some sort of succubi huntress?" 11 into Gambling (Poker) to get things going.
Drawing 3 cards; I'm keeping the two 7s.

"You might say I'm half of one." She said beaming as she bet another 100 and you draw 2 3s, and an 8.
(You can either call and match her bet, or raise even more, or fold.)

"Half of..." Carter repeated, blinking. There was no such thing as 'half a Huntress', which meant... "I'll call", she said, matching the bet, curious to see what the woman had in her hand.
"...So... you're a half-Succubus then?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "...And yet... you want to make sure the one, or ones, at that school are 'taken care of'?" she asked. Matching her bet. I'll try my luck with this hand.
Repeating my stones.
