====Ella asks to join Cal on his gambling expedition====
**Date:** 1870.04.08.2100

<#kate: Ella interrupts Cal before he leaves and asks if she can go with him to see what he's up to with all this gambling.#>

<#bill: Is this his first trip gambling? #>
<#kate: On the timeline it has Cal going out: "1870.04.02-30.2100 Cal sneaks out to go play poker for the first time". I had Ella initiating this because he came back all week crowing about his victories and she wants to see what it's all about. I'm not sure if Cole would initiate something earlier? If he does, she might join that instead. #>
<#bill: Okay. I didn't see that. Yeah, I think Cole would be interested right away and would go with Cal the first time as long as he knows. If people respond here as to who goes and doesn't the first time we can write something up and put it on the time line and we can always put something else on this page. #>

<#ann: Celeste has no interest in gambling, and vaguely disapproves (though not enough to stop her from using Cal as a source of money later on). She does not go the first time. She will go a few times once it becomes a regular habit, but it's clear she's just trying to make sure she's not missing out on something. I'm not sure that the gambling halls would be safe for preteen girls out after dark with no chaperone. #>

<#jonah: If Ella goes, then Ollie will probably go just to prove that just because he's the youngest doesn't mean that he's gonna get left behind. I don't think gambling appeals to him at all, however. #>

<#court: Jeanne does not go to this one. #>
