7th Hat Flip [Voice/Action]
[Voice]
[After having a close friend return home a few weeks ago, Firo's been largely keeping to himself. He was aware of the danger of losing friends in Luceti, but it always seemed abstract and alien until it actually happened.
It's boredom that finally prompts him to address the network. That and the concern that if he doesn't keep using his skills he'll be near useless when he gets back home. Why not kill two birds with one stone?]
Does anybody here wanna play cards? Any kinda game is fine, or even if you just wanna learn. Most of 'em aren't that hard to pick up and I don't mind teachin' anyone.
[His tone suddenly becomes less light and takes a turn for the grouchier.]
But if you're gonna cheat, save it. I'll know.
[He wasn't put in charge of a Family casino for nothing.]
[Action]
[Soon after he makes his message, Firo will be rummaging through the item shop for a few packs of cards, carefully going through each one he finds to make sure they're complete. Then he'll linger a little while by the art supplies to pick up some markers.
...No, he is not going to be using them to mark the cards.]

That's not exactly along the lines of what I was thinkin', but I wouldn't mind playin' it. It's been a while since I have.
voice;
[ He pauses, seeming to sort of acknowledge how awkward this conversation's been. ]
.. Neku. I'm Neku, I mean. I'm trying to get out more.
[ Good going, Sakuraba. Way to sound like a shut-in. ]
I mean- whatever.
voice;
Oh, uh... Okay. I'm Firo. Nice to meet'cha, Neku.
Is there anything you'd want me to teach you? Aside from poker there's blackjack and faro that're popular where I come from. I'm not sure about here.

[ Nice of him to offer to strangers, though.. ]

[...He probably should've specified which one.]

[ -- and Neku doesn't even think to clarify which, which is how he ends up wandering around outside around the fountain, clearly lost. ]
action;
Hi. Neku?
action;
[ His hands are jammed a little uncomfortably in his pockets. ]
action;
Yeah, that's me. You ready?
action;
As long as you don't mind teaching me everything.

[He pulls a deck out of his pocket, then looks around.]
Is there a table around here or somethin'? 'S easier if we got a place to set 'em down.
action;
[ His hands are jammed in his pockets. ]
action;
[He glances around until he sees what Neku's talking about.]
Over there. C'mon.
[Once they reach the tables, Firo plops down and immediately starts shuffling the cards.]
So how long have you been here?
action;
[ He keeps his eyes on the cards, though, curious as he takes a seat across from him. ]
.. feels longer.
action;
[He lowers his eyes to the cards as he continues shuffling; it's been over a year for him and that's one year too many. He taps the deck against the table to keep all the cards in line and tries to perk up his tone.,/small>]
Well, hopefully this'll help you keep yourself occupied if you're here for longer. Ready to start?
action;
[ Assuming they don't know already. He shakes his head, clicking his tongue. ]
Yeah. Just let me know how to play.
