[Luxord has his hood up, hiding his features completely; though those that spoke to him in the junk pile will recognize his voice. He's idly shuffling his cards, and it seems he's set the communicator on a wall or some such, as the angle's actually rather good... enough to catch both him, the extremely cozy looking (well... cozy by Cybertronian standards. with Luxord in it, it'd be more apt to call it "cavernous") nook he's sitting in, and then the magnificent view of a placid lake outside the window.]

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm actually finding this situation rather ideal. Comfortable surroundings, interesting things to explore, pleasurable company... now, all we'd need to make it complete is a weekly game night and perhaps someone who could cook, and we'd be quite, set, don't you agree?

[Flip, shuffle, and finally his hands still]

So, let's get to know each other, just a little, shall we? I come from a moonlit city without a sun, where the rain falls without end. But I'm a well-traveled soul, I must say, I've been to many worlds in my time, and I'm curious about the ones you've come from. So, then...

[flip and draw]

Tell me of your worlds, would you? I'm curious.

Heckuva place. I think it's where all the interesting things happen.

Well, being the cop that I am, let's just say I'm very busy.

[rotafortunae]

Surely not all of them! Though it does sound as though it's been dealt quite a hand...

[he idly flips a card off the top of his deck, then cuts it back in]

A man of the law, then? I'd imagine you've got your work cut out for you, in such a place.

[engrishdetective]

You could put it that way.

Most definitely. The Brave Police are rarely out of work. A bit of peace is a blessing.

[rotafortunae]

I absolutely agree. Though I have to wonder how long that peace will last, here. However long it does, though, I think I'll do my best to try to enjoy it.

[engrishdetective]

I'm not going to stay too optimistic for long. When resources get low, so's morale and everything else. I'd like it if it didn't, but let's be realistic.

[rotafortunae]

A wise thought. Luck never lasts, does it...

[engrishdetective]

Sadly, no. Can't rely on pure luck forever. I can see this ending pretty badly soon enough.

[rotafortunae]

Out of curiosity, how do you think it'll play out? Are you suspicious of our mysterious benefactors (I wouldn't blame you if you were), or do you think it'll be one of the other lost souls here..?
