"Ahhh, Nothing like a Game of Others Tragedy's, to Distract you from the tragedy's you have seen yourself. A Cause any hard ale will do...But if you'd rather spend the time with me, Then ill happily fill the cup. The Game welcomes you." The Dealer said, producing two glasses, And pouring a Black Stout Beer into both of them. One for himself, and one for the Mage...Seemed he wasnt kidding with the ale comment. "The Alcohol is low. No chance to get you drunk, Less you down a whole gallon. Wouldnt want you losing your sense, Would we? Now..." The Dealer would take a sip through his Veil, Before flicking his hands up, The Cards fluttering among the wind, Shuffling themselves in a Vortex before the Black Mage, before settling on the table...

Four Cards would land. Three flipping up to reveal images of Characters, and another, A Monster...

"Here are your choice of Aces..."



"The Ace of Arctic...Stalwart. Strong. Silent. Not much for conversation, But quite fun to bash someone across the way with."

(The Ace of Arctic will make your Ace Polar Knight. Along with this, You will receive the 'Polar power' Status, Granting you +2 DEX when in Snowy, or Cold Settings, But -2 Dex in Hot/Warm settings! In settings of neither extreme heat or extreme cold, you will simply be normal)

"The Ace of Prediction...A Fortune teller, Though very much unlike my own kind..."

(The Ace of Prediction will make your Ace Shulk. Along with this, you will receive 'Future Vision' Item. Allowing you the option to 'Predict' what will be on a card you can move to. This will be a generic viewing, Such as saying 'A Fight that may grant treasure' or 'A Social Situation.' Can only be done Five Times.)



"The Ace of Abyss...A Sad one, I can tell. He faces a terrible road of Darkness...Perhaps you can help him see light again?"

(The Ace of Abyss will make your Ace Artorias. Along with this, you will receive 'Abyssal Disgrace', An Item which grants you a +2 STR Bonus, Upon performing 'Evil' or 'Monsterous' actions! However, The more Evil acts you perform, The more you will gain a legacy in the world for your evil, Making others see a monster, And destroying chances to be Social...)


"And the Opponent of my Choosing for you...I believe this will serve to Rival your Intellect, With sheer mass."



"The King of Torment...This Monster has lived a terrible life, And in its agonized state, It causes more chaos, out of its own control. End the Golem's Misery, if you can."


"Now...Cut the deck. We shall play with what you leave below."



Cut the Deck low??

(The Game will be shortened, And will not feature as much Post-Game Loot to obtain. Means a more immediate reward, however.)



Cut the Deck in the middle??

(Standard Game Length.)



Cut the Deck High??

(Game will be much longer, and have rarer, Even grander loot, But will make the game take longer, and have more, and Wider maps. With more chance to lose everything, However...)

The mage listened to his comment of ale and was ready to roll his eyes for the thought of being drunk is a better solution until he presented the real deal... Huh. Well, he was no stranger to alcohol. "Well, the drink is appreciated at least. A very generous host," Black Mage stated, at least it probably won't impede him any as he brought it to him with magic as he looked at the cards. They were.... all some form of swordsman, well, if you can call a shovel a sword. Clearly no intent to be kept in his comfort zone in terms of knowledge/abilities... But he did come here for some kind of break so he'll have to deal with what the cards decide.

Arctic seems solid in muscle mass and his ability is solid... Should his luck hold. In contrast to that, Prediction's ability seemed to negate that luck... But the description of Abyss interested him... Rewarded for bad deeds but shunned by it. Sounded familiar. So, by his decision, he could go for Prediction or Abyss.... Hm... "Alright, one moment, I'll let my knife decide," Black Mage stated as he pulled a knife in his hand and holds it up. "Point up I'll go with Prediction, point down I'll go with Abyss," He stated before tossing his knife into the air, ready to catch it when it passes his grip.

TqtSd7ihp_1d2(Point up, Prediction)

Black Mage caught the knife, the blade pointing upward. "Well, fate spoke," he stated as he put his knife back away. "I'll take the Ace of Prediction. As for the deck... I'm not exactly in a hurry to go outside when there is no chance for Evil to strike," he stated, sliding his hand to magically push a little off the top. The monster seemed interesting as well... Like a creature that was not truly evil. This game was interesting indeed.

(Black Mage has chosen the Ace of Prediction and to cut high)

"..." The Dealer watched the odd looking display, Raising an old brow at Black Mages little parlor trick to decide the path he would take for an Ace. "An interesting deciding method...Well, So long as you dont stab the table. I am a gypsy at heart, and im not above the 'Break it and buy it', Rule." The Dealer warned before With a flourish, Cards would scatter across the table, Forming stacks across the way, decks and Decks forming on each side of the table, Before a few were arranged before Black Mage, to make a Map of some kind, Before the Gold token landed upon the first card...

"Ashley's Haunted Mansion...I assure you, if it were not my job, I would not subject you to the torment of my singing voice. *Ahem Ahem...*"

A Strange mist covers you...

Who IS that strange girl in the Haunted Mansion! The Shulk/Black Mage would awake, Now in a set of Shorts, Jacket and armored underneath, The Massive Red Monado strapped to his back, as he was already in the Doorstep to the dark mansion. The Door would soon open, To reveal in the Doorway, A Very small and pitifully adorable lil' Goth!

"Im really busy, So Who're....Oh. Your that guy who's after the Golem? Riiiight..." Ashley would mumble, Producing a book of spells, looking through them, and eventually picking one.

"I can either Grant you a Charm that will make your strength increase...Or Enchant your shoes to give you more speed. Which do you want?" Ashley would say, clearly detesting having to be so Social and Helpful...She seems to mean well though.

Which would you like? Or Dare you try to find something else...?
