one ace: video

[aceordisgraced]

Everyone breathing okay?

[One easygoing looking man grins into the camera. He just got his netbook after the bombing ordeal calmed down a bit and he's been fiddling with it all day! Now he knows how to use it and he's so proud of himself.]

Yes? Nice to meet you. The Initiative brought me in to help out this Resistance project of theirs, so I guess that makes us comrades? That's nice. You know what they say about friendship.

[What do they say about friendship, Nick? He has no clue.]

Anyway... I actually had a question. Is there anywhere around here I could find some playing cards? I was talking to someone down in the tunnels last week and thought game night might be a fun thing to do sometime. Maybe poker for some fun prizes? Haha.

[... He does not introduce himself. He thought it might make him mysterious, and it'll be a way to start a conversation later, right?]

[The camera swings for a bit, before settling on a girl's face. Her hair is very pink.

She waves.] Still breathing here, mister. Nice to meet you too. [Even with...the circumstances. She scratches the back of her head.] Say, what do they say about friendship?

[aceordisgraced]

[Such pretty pink hair! He takes note to compliment her later.]

No idea! What do you think they say? Maybe it's magic or something.

[Headtilt.] I don't know. That's why I asked.

[But moving on...] Did you get here during the bombing too?

[f_u_wesker]

If you find a deck of cards, lemme know. Wouldn't mind relaxing a little. Been years since I played cards.

Name's Alice.

[aceordisgraced]

Cards are great! I'll send a word your way if I find any. Nice to meet you, Alice.

[f_u_wesker]

Glad to hear it.

And you are?

[flagrate]

Prizes? Why not money?

[aceordisgraced]

Weeeell, because I don't have any I guess. I need to make sure I can eat too, you know?

[flagrate]

Are you that bad at poker?

[pantyraid]

Oh! Daddy! You could borrow mine!

[ and, with a flash of her hand, the deck appears to levitate before Trucy.

Yep. It's her weapon. ]

video.

[aceordisgraced]

[Oooooh.]

Great job, Trucy! I knew I could count on you.

But it might not be enough to use for a tournament. Huh.

video.

[pantyraid]

[ with a flash of her hands, she puts them away, back into her little heart fanny pack. ]

No problem! I bet we could find a novelty store around here. [ she puts a finger to her chin. ] There was one I found, but it might have gotten destroyed.

[acemedium]

... What do they say about friendship, Nick? [She has no clue.]

And what's with the poker?

[aceordisgraced]

Hahaha. I don't know. I was hoping someone would know, but it's probably something really awesome.

Well, Collette and I were talking about ways to make people smile.

[acemedium]

You can't just give up that easily! If you don't know the saying, then come up with a new one!

... So you met Collette! That's great. What did you guys figure out?

[sidecar]

You just arrived during all this? Sounds like you've got some pretty bad timing!

[But the guy's taking it well, so Kotetsu's equally cheerful in response.]

A game night's not a bad idea! You can find almost anything here if you ask around.

video;

[aceordisgraced]

You know, I always had horrible luck when it came to timing. I was always in the wrong place at the wrong time, you know?

Anyway, it's good to hear that I'm not out of luck. If I can find other stuff we could always set up more games, too. [Because what you need in the middle of war is a paaaartay.]

Playing cards shouldn't be too difficult to get a hold of.

You thinking of hosting a game? I haven't played in a while.

[aceordisgraced]

A whole tournament, if I can get enough people interested! What do you think would be a good prize?

[Audio]

[strategic_guile]

I was talking about that earlier. Cards would be really nice to have right now, but tell me... What is it they say about friendship?

[Audio]

[aceordisgraced]

What is it they say about friendship?

[Did you think he knew? He was hoping someone would tell him!]

[sacrificar]

I am not your comrade.

video;

[aceordisgraced]

Ouch. Why not?

[Is it my hair? Is it not spiky enough?]

voice;

[bittertears]

A little relaxed for someone who not only just arrived, but did so during a rather hectic number of days, aren't you?

voice;

[aceordisgraced]

Well... I was confused at first, but it's been a few days since I got here, so I've calmed down.
