[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.]

[ Neku blusters for a second- even with the explanation, he's not getting it right away. ]

Hit, please.

Here ya go.

[He hands Neku a card, then gives himself one, almost oblivious to Neku's troubles. It's been so long since he's played that he's getting more caught up in the game than teaching.]

There are certain rules for if the dealer hits or not. If the dealer has sixteen or less, they gotta draw. So that sorta gives you a hint as to what I just had. You're basically playin' to beat the dealer, so try to keep track a' what they might have. Okay?

Do we draw at the same time? -- like, are we trying to hit 21 first, or just at all?

[ Neku doesn't mind. It's nice to sort of mentally check out, to focus on something else. ]

We go at the same time, pretty much. It's rare that two people in one game hit 21, so you go by whoever gets closest without goin' over. Okay? You ready to draw again?

Yup! Let's go.

Alright. I gotta hit, so...

[He gives himself a card.]

How about you? Hit or stand?
