Looks like someone forgot to pay their electric bill.

[Nick looks only mildly amused. He's actually had that happen, and it's not so fun, but someone's already said that they're working on it, so....]

There's way too much crappy art on board this thing, and not enough crappy artists showing themselves. I'm getting a little bored of chasing ghosts.

['Unnerved' would probably be a better word, not that he'll admit it.]

So if anyone's got a deck of cards or some dice, let's get something going. We don't even have to gamble, not unless you're willing to take a silver filling for payment.

You can count me in, though I don't got shit to barter either.

[pushesback]

So we'll do it for bragging rights. That's a currency all its own.

I don't have cards or dice on me, but I'm up for a game.

...And I do have a couple hundred poker chips if we need 'em. Damn ship's gotta sense a' humor.

[pushesback]

Why do you think it gave 'em to you? Do they mean something?

I can't say I have any cards but the idea of sticking together sounds like a good idea.

[pushesback]

I bet if we close our eyes it'll be just like being at Monte Carlo.

everybody's got something to gamble

[ He wouldn't mind an excuse to get out of his own head right now, though. Hear some voices that are really there. Get a closer look at a few faces. ]

i'm in. might be able to find some cards.

I started to ask myself what I have to lose here. Then I decided I didn't wanna know.

It sounds a little 'stranger with candy' to suggest my room, and it's probably not big enough anyway. Just gotta find some place that is that also isn't left in the dark.

There's a chance that I might possibly have a deck of cards.

[pushesback]

Then there's a chance you just made it onto the VIP list.

[debts]

How about charades?

[pushesback]

Now why didn't I think of that?

[axeyou]

Why does everyone always suggest cards?

[pushesback]

Hey, I'm all ears if you've got suggestions. As long as it's not cricket fighting.

[THIS IS SO STRANGE]

[pushesback]

[TELL HIM ABOUT IT. LOOK AT THOSE SHOULDERS.]

[Hey and someone muscles in on Steve's video feed since he accidentally turned the thing on (it's ok, he's used to it)]

I got cards and dice. What you need is a pot.

[Also, with Steve in the background, maybe Nick gets why Bucky was looking at him funny.]

I've got dice. [ Which is an offer, but after a thoughtful pause: ] Though I can't see as there's much of a point if we haven't got anything worth betting.

[pushesback]

There's always our pride. That's gotta be worth something.

[His isn't.]

[outofclothes]

There's a point to playing without anything to gamble?

[This is news to him.]

[pushesback]

Not my favorite way to play either. But at least no one's gonna come looking for their money, that's one upside.

[ Darcy's comm device is propped up so she's in the frame, but she's not giving her full attention to her transmission. She's instead typing away at a console, apparently hard at work. ]

Well, shit. I could use the opportunity to unwind after this bull. I'm game.

Pun unintended.

[pushesback]

There is no way that was unintended. I'd bet twenty on that.

[ Kate's as much in the dark as anybody, her flashlight(s) getting saved for more important purposes. ]

Since pretty much all of my friends have said they're in, I'll play. Maybe we need a tournament if you really get this many people?

[pushesback]

I guess a lot of us are feeling the same way. Bored and in need of a little distraction.

[brainsqueeze]

If there's no cards there's plenty of paper.

( Also if there wasn't a name attached to this device she would be asking when he started playing cards. That face thing is uncanny and... weird )

[pushesback]

To make our own? I guess arts and crafts is another way of keeping busy.
