Greetings!

Panda: "Okay, I can see that no real harm's been done. Just *ask* me first
if panda's scream before ya go shooting up the neighbourhood, okay? There
aren't that many of us left, ya know! Alright . . .  [Panda reaches down

and grabs his cigar. After tapping it a few times, he replaces it casually
in the corner

of his mouth and chomps on it a bit.  He then looks at the cards and the full
bottle of saki in Chang's hands and smiles a sly grin] "Anybody for a game

of- 

poker?"

Suddenly, another male voice is heard. This one is unrecognizable to
everyone, as it is being modulated by a hardsuit. They all notice this when
the hardsuitted
individual faintwarps on-scene.

Firehawke: "Did you say POKER, Panda? Deal me in."

        An electric snap-hiss from off to everyone's right prompts the
assembled group to spin towards the noise.  A towering, silver-and-blue
battlesuit, sporting a glowing red eyeslot in it's blue antenna-winged
helmet steps out from the bushes.  A brightly glowing, blue-white energy
blade hums hungrily in the right gauntlet of the armour suit.
        "Anyone want me to cut the deck?"  SkyKnight inquired politely.  "I
feel like a game myself, now that you mention it."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  ^_^
