One Grumpy Old Yid, as Promised

[cardiosurgery.livejournal.com]

Here's Uncle Itchy, the Nine of Hearts. He's been around forever--his father, it's rumored, joined the Clubs soon after the Holocaust ended, with hopes of a better life for his family.

Itzhak has a few talents unrelated to medicine: these include bartending, which is why he'd be attending the Masquerade even if there wasn't likely some shenanigans afoot. They also include making the best hangover-cure breakfasts in the Deck; his omelettes make the room stop throbbing.

And, because I want you all to say hi...obligatory SWS post.

... Uncle Itchy.

I love you so much for this. <3

Again, he's named after my mother's Uncle Itzhak--she was the one who couldn't say his name and shortened it like that.

[needsnomirror.livejournal.com]

It's still pretty amazing. (And I should probably not go tl;dr at most threads, but... /fails)

Ceiro will love him. In the father-son but not jewish sort of way :D

[cardiosurgery.livejournal.com]

Eh, even if you're a shegitz, you're still his king.

[heartafterheart.livejournal.com]

And was probably under your feet the whole time while growing up. I imagine Ceiro being accident prone at times XD especially as a kid, and especially if he was following Athena around like a lost puppy.

...you might have been the first kid to come up with the 'Uncle Itchy' nickname.

[heartafterheart.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha oh god, I could see that. Ceiro would butcher trying to say Itzhak. He'd just be terrible at it.

Ugh, Säde would have cried all over him when she was still a Number. He might have dealt with her brother's cut off finger after his duel, and then with his guts after his very last challenge.

He's good at offering comfort and warmth--it's only as he's aged and seen the Deck (especially the Spades) turn even blacker that he's gone and become an oofnik.

Bwahahaha oh god, best PB. BEST.

This is totes awesome because I was thinking we needed a doctor around and I had a doctor who wasn't doing anything and the LOOK on Elisha's face when Timothy showed up but technically I am in college and Dafydd is already sucking my free time so I really needed to resist making anyone else and now I CAN! Also he's a Heart which would have been my idea too, so tl;dr this is awesome and so are you.

MOAR COFFEE

I'm sure Dafydd will look Itzhak up when he's been through a few more grudge sparring matches with Julien.

Pop quiz: what's Operman anagram to? That...that's why I have this PB. Kinda.

And duuuude, enjoy college on my behalf. I never really went, to be honest. Did a year of community college, then joined the navy.

SHARE COFFEE?!

[takerofthings.livejournal.com]

O RLY. My cell phone ringtone may or may not be "We Started This Op'ra Shit." (It is.)

I went for awhile, and then I quit and became a chef, and now I'm going again! For Writing and Marketing this time. It's interesting being ten years older than the freshmen in my classes, especially the class with the scary professor who thunders on about failing people.

COFFEE FOR EVERYONE!

[cardiosurgery.livejournal.com]

You're a nerd and I love you to death. On either account. On all accounts.

And that means you're probably about that much older than me, too.

WITH SUGAR AND CREAM AND WHISKEY...

Who the hell puts WHISKEY in Coffee? wtf man.
