Just to keep everyone up to date...it may now be noticed that the King of Spades is nowhere to be found. Also missing is a suitcase's worth of clothes (and the jewelry he bought for Athena recently), if anyone is likely to go looking for such things. Rumors are running wild as to where he's gone.
- Some say he went chasing after Athena, unable to continue without her here in the Deck. Opinions are mixed on whether this is romantic or idiotic.
- Some say he went off Deck to track down a particular leak of information about the Deck, among those who remember he used to do this under Medea and Sean.
- Some look at the Ace sidelong and believe he finally succeeded in killing the King (Julien would say, if asked, he wouldn't have kept it a secret and done it in front of everyone in a Challenge if that was his wish).
- Some think perhaps the pressure of being King of Spades simply finally got to him and David lost his wits and was hidden away by the Faces.
- And of course, if you want to come up with something else to gossip about, there are many more theories about where the King has gone to entertain.
So if you want to have your character wonder he where he is or talk to others about it, feel free. The Faces will not divulge much, if anything, since they're trying to keep quiet that he's gone (because of course they have no idea where he's gotten to). Eventually (soon enough), though, they'll have to admit publicly that he's gone away and they don't know when he will return. Probably about the same time that Katya names a new King to replace the old one (so on that note, applications for King of Spades are open).
Any questions about what's going on or discussion of the plot or what you'd like your character to know/find out, please stick 'em in the comments. :)
