[He could use the network for something deeply profound and insightful, something that will shed insight on their current situation and give hope about the future. ...nah.]

I have five cards, one joker and four aces with different suits, facedown on a table. They are arranged according to the following conditions:

1) The club is to the immediate right of the heart.
2) Neither the diamond nor the joker is next to the spade.
3) Neither the joker nor the diamond is next to the club.
4) Neither the diamond nor the spade is next to the heart.

Can you find the joker?

[Oh boy, puzzles. Brennunburg is chock full of tedious puzzles. Of course he usually makes the servants solve them to get around but let's see how sharp his old mind still is.]

Joker, heart, club, spade, diamond. Is this correct?

[tenyeargambit]

[Now all they need is a LeChuck and they could form a support network.]

I'm afraid not. Would you like a hint?

And I believe we have not met before, though I could be mistaken about this.

[ A puzzle! Chase can't hide her excitement. She immediately perks up. ]

Let me think. Hang on....

[ after a few seconds of working it out on her brain, she finally asks: ]

Is the joker second to the left?

[tenyeargambit]

[Oh wow, hello small child.]

Correct. Well done. You like puzzles, I take it?

[whatever those names meant]

[tenyeargambit]

Correct. Now if only the puzzle we're in was forthcoming with its answers.

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Diamond, joker, heart, club, spade... that would make the joker the second card from the left.

y'know, I'm making this a VOICE because I can;

[tenyeargambit]

Right you are. Have you learned anything new since when last we spoke?

[soulbondee]

Of course I could!

[tenyeargambit]

Well, then. Will you?

[voice]

[circumitus]

What's the point of this?

[voice]

[tenyeargambit]

There isn't much of one, really, but it seemed marginally more interesting than asking questions which no one has the answer to as of yet.

I don't think we've met before. I'm Clive Dove.

[megamind]

Is that the best you can do? Puzzles? Now?

[tenyeargambit]

Not a fan of them I take it?

[Hello, species-wide love of games. This one is pretty simple - just a process of elimination - but it's still irresistible.]

From left to right, the cards show the diamond, the joker, the heart, the club, and the spade.

[Voice]

[tenyeargambit]

[It seemed impolite to lead off with terribad riddles.]

Correct. [Pause.] Your voice doesn't sound familiar...I'm sorry, like most everyone else I have yet to get to know my fellow castaways.

It seems like we've got more than one person who thinks outside of the box. What kind of reward are you looking for?

[statsraaden]

Left of the heart and right of the diamond. Next right are the club and then the spade.

[tenyeargambit]

Correct. I'd offer another one, but I do know puzzles can get tiring after a while. Though it isn't as though we have anything pressing to do at the moment.

[voice| filtered] And we shall have like a hundred threads.

Puzzles?

They tend to be fruitful and multiply.

[tenyeargambit]

If I had asked them about themselves, I doubt many of them would've answered. Puzzles work as well as anything else as an icebreaker.

the joker is the second card to the left

[tenyeargambit]

Correct. Are you a fan of puzzles? I found they're a decent way of killing time when you're waiting.

Second to the left. And straight on till morning.

/cues music, also I'm just assuming text until shit happens otherwise

[tenyeargambit]

Correct.

Honestly, I never really cared for Peter Pan. I remember one year when a well meaning friend of the family...you do know the type, I imagine, bought a copy of the book for me. Of course I couldn't just say, "I don't care for Peter Pan, thank you." They later took me to see a play of it. It was rather unfortunate.
