Nabiki rubs her sensitive back..(Jeez, since when am I the pinata?) She 
carefully scrutinizes her opponents, this being the strangest game ever. 
Peering with a straight face at her hand, she finds (HEY! IM NOT GONNA 
TELL YOU THAT! CHEATER!!!!) Looking at the faces around her, she finds 
some oddities. A fellow in a Hardsuit (Firehawke his name?) Is staring 
off into space, as if formulating a pun or two... Come to mention it, 
many of the opponents seem to have puns in mind. Nabiki scowls, being one 
of those of an ancient and rare stock of pun-haters. Even a game so 
innocent (Or semi-innocent) as poker could escalate into an all out 
Pun-war. Many of the players make practice of wearing hard suits 
or carrying automatic weapons in their daily lives. Somehow, this is more 
than a game.... A hidden danger lies masked underneath a deck of cards 
(No, not the fellow with the poker-face) Possibilities run thru the minds 
of those seated at the table, summing up opposition. Anime-style beads of 
sweat appear behind many heads. A panda munches innocently on bamboo, 
oblivious to any threat. Pointed glances and a glare or two are shot 
across the table like gunfire. Nabiki readies her earplugs in case of Ml 
Pun War III
