[Private to the Marquis]

To answer your question: yes.

[/Private]


This idleness is no good for me, and many of the things I enjoyed doing aren't exactly accessible here.

I need a... hobby. What does everybody else do to pass the time? Aside from writing in journals.

Fuck currency. You not got any possessions?

Look... every witless cunt guy, his mother and his mother's mother know how to work a deck. I helped run an executive game a coupla times down my way. Back then, it was what, five thousand dollars a seat? Lasted up to three days.

High stakes, anyhoo.

We just need a room... aaaand enough guys to put together a decent pot.

Could even keep it tame for now. Low stakes.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Some.

Well, I know Charlie's been wanting to start up a game. And I'm sure Lloyd would be happy to join. Most of the others probably think they're too good for us 'mere mortals,' though.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Some'll work.

And sure -- I'm down with whoever.

We start out small, but have it open table, yeah? If them entities up there decide to join in, then they can. If not? ... Then no worries. It stays a quiet do.

Hell, we can leave an advertisement if need be. However you wanna play it, ah-- I don't think I caught your name.

Excellent. Certainly sounds more interesting than talking through journals. And the Barge likes to supply me with liquor ever since I tried to quit drinking it keeps appearing in my room. so we should have plenty on that end.

Major Henry West, by the way. And yourself?

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Couple of days, we can organize some meet in a common room. Set up a table, bring some decks, some crap from the mess hall and said drink.

Wait---supplies restock?

... Right. That count for more than liquor?

Ralph Cifaretto. And Major, huh? US army or what?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Some supplies do, but I've also heard of things disappearing. I suppose it's up to whatever amuses the Admiral most.

No, British. I take it you're an American, then.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

How about snow?

Another? Huh. British invasion, right?

And yeah. Italian American... New Jersey.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Pardon? I could barely read that.

I suppose there are quite a lot of my countrymen here. The Barge has some great diversity, though. English, American, alien, French...

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

...

Coke.

C. Toot. Rocks. Stones. Blow.


And Aliens? What?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Oh.

If you have some and-- ....I don't know. Perhaps you'll find out when you run out.

"Time Lords" and people from... Star Wars.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Rightrightright.

Star Wars? The movie?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And from... after the films, I suppose. Harrison Ford Han Solo and his too great a twat to be in any film son.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

So they guy I talked to before -- the one who said he was Han. He actually was Han? Like... Harrison Ford, Han? George Lucas. Galaxy far, far away?

...

No, purgatory, I can believe. This? Nuh-uh.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I suppose so. I'm not really sure how this all actually works, myself.

It's very, very real. Unfortunately.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not think about it.

And, ah, I was never really a fan... but since when was there a kid?

Ah whatever the fuck. I'll keep stuhm till I see his face.

Done deal on the game then?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I don't know, myself. But he says he's Han Solo's kid and he's always talking about the Force and all that rubbish, so...

Absolutely.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

So long as he knows how to shut the fuck up about it... then whatever. None of my business, right?

Great. Just cluck when you're ready to set 'em up, yeah?
