Hello, my name is Ashe. [ His accent is heavy, as if he is from somewhere around France.] I have been here a week or so now and have not yet spoken over this strange network. I decided to change that. I really have nothing of interest to share. It is simply bad form not to at least say hello to new neighbors and I seem to have been rude.

[ He is shuffling a deck of cards.] I thought I might ask those who have been here longer where places of interest and things to do between the mundane of the days would be?

Thank you. [ He tipped his head and cut the feed.]

I am not usually one for card games but I am feeling nostalgic for them. [For his cousin, really.] Do you every play?

My name is Niko, by the way.

[corven]

I haven't played a game in a long while. I used to play a bit of poker now and then. These are mostly for magic.

[ He brought both hands together and the deck was gone.]

A pleasure, Niko, you sound like a man from the Yugoslavia, I'm not too far off am I?

[vengeance_driven]

What kind of magic? [Thanks to Braska and Emilia, he's at least not scoffing at the idea.]

Yugoslavia, yes. It's not all one country now. The peoples had a war when Tito died, and they made it different nations.

[corven]

Simple slide of hand.

[ He reached into his pocket pulling the cards back out.]

Oh, I must have lost track. I have been in America for quiet a few years now.

[vengeance_driven]

It depends on what year you are from. It was in 1992 that things began to fall apart.

Where were you before America?

[corven]

Lausanne, Switzerland. Left home around '89. Been in LA since.

[ He rubbed the back of his head some, kinda embaressed by losing track that much.]

It's 1996, so not that far off I suppose.

[vengeance_driven]

I am sorry you went to America. Switzerland is a pretty nice place.

[ewestmarch]

Could come get a set of custom enchanted clothes at Stitches. Best in town.

[corven]

Enchanted? Color me curious, what exactly are they enchanted with?

[ewestmarch]

What do you want them to be enchanted with?

[corven]

Well, I will have to think about that. I've never had such a chance offered to me. Maybe self repairing clothes?

[ those bullet holes are a pain.]

[ewestmarch]

Mmm, can't do that. Can make them harder to damage in the first place, though.

[corven]

Sounds fantastic, and where did you say this shop is located?

[athousandcurses]

Ours is a small town, but there is still excitement if you look. As for me, I prefer exploring a little and cataloging the flora here.

[corven]

Sounds like it could be fun.

sorry for the delay x.x

[athousandcurses]

I think so. There is an entire world of unknowns out there just waiting to be found. I have seen amazing views that would never be found on my world.

no worries, the same here.

[corven]

That makes it worth it more then anything else. Its never too late to learn more.

[athousandcurses]

Never too late, as long as you are interested.

[corven]

I am actually. I am also just adjusting to a new place. So I am still gathering my barings.

[The cards have definitely caught Elle's attention. She's sitting forward to get a better look and everything.]

Y'know, you're making me miss the card tables back home. Used to be I could just head across the street to one of the casinos if I wanted a game... Um. Not that it'd be a good idea to do here, if I got too nostalgic, 'cause I need to be careful and save up. But.

[A beat.] Oh! Yeah. Um, hi, I'm Elle, Elle Days. It's nice to meet you.

sorry for the wait.

[corven]

These are more for magic tricks but, I have been known to dabble in a game or two of poker.

[ Just when he needs money.]

Ashe Corven, as I said, and its a pleasure Elle.

'sall good <3

[quixotically]

Magic tricks? [Guess who thinks you're talking about literal magic at first? This girl.] Like what? What kinds of things can you do with cards?

[corven]

It work as better in person. Doing it via video would just take half the splender away.

[quixotically]

Ooooh. [beat. A bit playfully,] Is that an invitation?

[And then, more genuinely,] I mean... I'd love to see it, but I don't wanna intrude or anything.

[corven]

Sure

[ He chuckles.]

I don't mind in the least. My magic is not that exciting though.
