I know that there are a large number of things to address, introductions to make, solutions to find, et cetera, but I must ask something of all of you.

Can anyone figure out how to walk safely on these ridiculous, frictionless floors? I'm almost certain that someone is going to get injured, even if you ignore the massive balls and paddles.

I already have my chuckles, Nellie. [As in 'nervous'.]

Name's Braig. And what's yours, Nellie?

[littleladyluck]

There are other ways, I suppose. Poker, for example, if you're interested?

Genevieve, or you could call me Monaco.

I've played a hand or two in my time. But why not both? Both is good. Isn't watching someone else lose the best part?

[littleladyluck]

Watching others lose against me in poker is all I know, sir! [inherently lucky because of her casinos. once in a while, being a Nation is fun.]

[Laugh, with just a hint of cackle.] Oh ho, we got a card shark here! You play a lot, Nellie?

[littleladyluck]

It is one of the many things I'm known for. I'm not allowed in casinos often due to that, I must confess!

[seventhbullet]

None of the best people are allowed in casinos. We should get a table together some time. [One of the things he misses is Organization Poker Night. His current "coworkers" are just not as much fun.]

It's a shame! "Citizens of Monaco aren't allowed to gable in the casinos," they say, but I cannot be a citizen of myself! I haven't played since I was brought here. If you're willing, I cannot guarantee that I'll hold back. All of the casinos have made me a very, very lucky Nation.

[...Huh. Lot of information there.]

Wouldn't that make you just as unlucky? No winner without a loser, and all.

So is the land bit of you around somewhere? Wouldn't wanna step on you by accident.

[littleladyluck]

Honestly, if I like the person, I often do what they wagered anyway. They had the nerve to go against me, so I'll reward their bravery. That's what happened to the last few people to ask me out, anyway.

No, sadly, none of my land, sea, or citizens are here. Just me as a person!

[seventhbullet]

Ouch. Confident, aren'tcha?

So how's that work, if you don't mind my asking? Being a country?

[littleladyluck]

I have reason to be. If they were here, I'd tell you to ask... well, anyone from my world! I'm a merciful winner.

It's strange, honestly. We participate in every war, meet every ruler, our health is affected when our economy and people are. Sometimes, our behaviors sort of meld to the way that our people and other humans see the countries. I'm classy and small, I gamble and race and keep things interesting, I think.
