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?]

I'm sure they'll take pride in the fact you didn't.

[aceordisgraced]

Well if that makes them feel better, I think I'd still like to give them a talking-to about kidnapping people into wars.

[strategic_guile]

They might have one of those suggestions boxes. Just fill out the form and they'll get back to you when they have the time~ [Lightly sarcastic playfulness.]

[aceordisgraced]

Nobody listens to poor old Nick, unfortunately.

[strategic_guile]

Is Nick a nickname for Phoenix? [Cus that sounds odd to him, ok]

[aceordisgraced]

Yeah. A friend gave it to me when I was younger.

[strategic_guile]

Better than Phoe [-pronounces Fee], but Phoenix is a pretty awesome name on its own. Legendary bird rising from the ashes and all.

[aceordisgraced]

[Don't even. Feenie is so embarrassing and mortifying now.]

And it totally fits me! ☆

[strategic_guile]

[Laughs] Does it? I dunno.

[aceordisgraced]

It's cool like me. [ttly, ok]

[strategic_guile]

..... [busts out laughing]

[aceordisgraced]

... What's so funny?

[strategic_guile]

Nothing. Nothing at all. [LOLOLOLOL controlling his laughter now]

[aceordisgraced]

You're totally laughing!

[strategic_guile]

[Fingers tap together and totally straight faced] I have no idea what you mean.

[aceordisgraced]

Now you're playing dumb.

[strategic_guile]

[Still tapping his fingers] You have some work to do in order to live up to the 'coolness' of your name is all.

[aceordisgraced]

You don't even know me~

[strategic_guile]

You don't have to know someone to get that, 'Yeah, this person is cool' vibe from them.

[aceordisgraced]

What kind of vibe do you get from me, then?

[strategic_guile]

Goofy, laid-back uncle.

[aceordisgraced]

I can live with that.

[strategic_guile]

See, it all works out in the end.

[aceordisgraced]

All right, all right. You win this round.

[strategic_guile]

[Laughs] Sounds like the perfect place for me to skip out while I'm ahead.
