[ Fuck.

Th'ancred Nunh had been captured, as he lingered in the East Shroud. Why had he been there? Rumours it's where Urianger has been killed. If he could find why, then he could... help more.

In Carbuncle form, he had slipped towards the Wall... and gotten knocked out. He had no idea where he awoke, except that he was in a cage, other animals around him. Blood was dried in his fur, and a magic disrupter had been chained to his leg. (Of course, he'd be able to be teleported away... but nobody would do that without warning.)

He was still in Carbuncle form - and there was an armoured man near him. A scent almost familiar came from the armour, but he wasn't thinking of it. No, he was letting out a soft whine, as the armoured man talked to the... other man. Draped in clothes more befitting a performer then any man of Garlemald, he shrugged and pointed to the cage.

It opened, and Th'ancred tried to make himself small and flat against the cage. The armoured man - Prastha - was offered a carrier by the other man - Amon - but all Th'ancred could think was that he had to do something. Anything. ]

It looks natural - everything that happened does. 'course, that's far less freaky then seeing one of your friends freeze in place like a natural statue. [ h-hawke.

But she seems to close her eyes a little. ] Well. How about these ones?

[ she has chosen magitek death claw, magitek colossus, magitek vanguard, magitek gunship, and ultima weapon. ]

'Course, you can choose your own. Long as you don't cheat, y'know? Not that I'd know.

Yes. I- ah, but you don't mean petrification, do you…?

Those look good. [he chuffs a little.] Well, this ought to make it fun.

[and a random pull gives- Livia sas Junius, Magitek Death Claw, Magitek Vanguard, Nero tol Scaeva, and Nael van Darnus. …good times. He's half-surprised a couple of these turn up, but well.]

Should we flip a coin for turns?

Nah. It's like... sometimes when one of my guard friends would fight, she'd get ready... and she'd then stop moving. Usually, she'd keep moving - but that wasn't helpful when we had to kill a crazy Templar, am I right?

[ She's so very quiet, before looking to the cards. ] Nah, I'll let you lead. Gotta teach me, right?

Not at all. Better than if she'd managed to get in the way, but all the same…

All right. [He takes Livia, and considers the board for a few moments, before setting the card in the left column, central position.] The basic idea is to try to have more cards than your opponent. You do this by capturing them- playing another card with a higher value on the side of the card you're playing. The numbers run from one to nine, and A trumps them all. There are rules that change this- but we can introduce those later.

[ Hawke moves to place her Ultima Weapon in the left column, above his - so that she's claimed one card. Smirking, she stretches backwards a little. ] Seems like a fun little game - I guess this realm isn't all bad. [ hawke ; w ; ]

My friend sometimes did freeze up and blocked doors, but if I went around the other way, she'd move again. Weird, huh?

It's a good game! I must confess to rather liking the realm myself, I feel. [he smiles, glad to hear that. And- oh, damn, Ultima's pretty defensive on its right- even if he'd been hoping to bait something out…

Hm. Magitek Death Claw in the bottom row of that same column, then- let's see how this turns out.]

Very strange. She didn't like particular paths, perhaps…? But that doesn't make much sense.
