I'm having a poker game at my apartment. Low cash only until we have a more secure player base. No offerings necessary and no entry fee charged. Courtesy of your local Turks.

Of course the SOLDIERs are extended a special invite. We have to put you in your place somehow.

It starts at nine sharp.

Really Tseng, it's almost as if you're inviting me to take their money.

We're playing for chips this time. You can take their money another time.

I suppose we all need to find idle ways to waste our time.

Don't pretend you didn't play in many a poker night.

[machiavellisms]

Playing poker is a desperate man's feeble attempt to become rich. Sadly, many a man that played with cards with me often times ended up losing more than just the clothes on his back.

What did I tell you about playing people for their souls?

We're playing for entertainment and socialization. I know such trivial things are beneath your notice but you should put in an appearance.

[machiavellisms]

Souls are meaningless, you know that. I prefer my assets to be liquid. You only have yourself to blame, Tseng.

If I must.

I'm told souls go for a good deal on the voodoo market in Costa.

You must. And you will have Elena on you for security.

Costa Del Sol? Perhaps for a party favor.

Two Turks and the President of ShinRa should suffice as security. She'll play.
