[VIDEO]

[On the feed is not a person, but rather the view of a table with a deck of cards. However, that's only for a split second, as the camera is adjusted to picture the smiling face of one goth loli.]

Hello everyone! I hope you've all been doing well.

It's been roughly a month since my introduction, so I decided that it might be a good idea to involve myself more in the school's affairs, as well as get to meet some of you all face-to-face. However...I find simple conversation to get dreadfully dull after a while, so I thought it might be fun if we play a game as well! Chess, Checkers, Mahjong, Shogi, and Poker are among my favorites, but I might be convinced to play something else if none of those are your metaphorical cup of tea.

Should you be interested, you can find me in AW04. Feel free to reply here if you'd rather let me know you're going to make an appearance in advance!

[PRIVATE TO ISHIMARU; UNHACKABLE]

[The gambler's smile from before is gone. As a matter, of fact, she looks pissed.]

We need to talk.

[ACTION; AW04]

[And as expected, there is Celes sitting calmly on one of the many chairs in table game room. To the left of her is a small table with her deck of cards on top, while several boxes of games sit to her right in a neat pile. Once you enter, she'll smile brightly and tell you to take a seat.]

[Suddenly, there is a creepy doll on the screen. There are clearly little hands moving its head and arms around, and a poorly disguised voice speaking for it.]

"Hello, everyone! I took over the whole school, and the new rule is everybody has to give me candy or else!"

[Okay, she's bored with that already. She moves the doll aside to reveal the huge plot twist.]

Heehee, just joking! It was me! But if you want to give me candy anyway... that would be okay.

Oh! Speaking of candy, I saw a show on the TV about lollipops! There was a policeman saying people were getting hurt because of them. People must want them a lot if they're doing that!

He said some other things too, but it was kind of boring so I didn't listen to a lot of it. How can you make candy boring? Haha, wooow! But, you know... I won't get hurt because of them, right? The people getting hurt aren't even normal people. They have cute kitty ears or wings or big tails, I think. But not me!

[She frowns a bit. She really doesn't want to get hurt just because she's selling lollipops. Or for other reasons.]

But it's really scary, huh?

Sodding hell. I'm not much of one for the TV, but even I don't live under a rock. The city's gone bonkers, it appears and to put it far more kindly than I'm wont to do, Pro-Human sentiment amongst it's citizenry seems at an all time, somewhat violent high. Now, I'm a pessimist by nature, so, take this with a grain of salt if you must, but I'd suggest the Non-Human folk of the Academy take the time to arm themselves with something stronger than goodwill and a desire to talk out their differences. And if you can't afford a tazer or a gun or a bloody great knife, and if you aren't amongst those able to shoot fire from your eyes or lightning from your arse, I could be convinced to show you a few moves to help you in an unarmed or melee fight. I cannot teach you how to be bullet proof. I cannot teach you how to make sense of this kind of disgrace. I CAN teach you how to ensure anyone giving you guff spends the next week exhuming their teeth from the lavatory.

Anyone interested, drop me a private note. I don't often offer my services like this but... desperate times and all that.
