Greetings, everyone. Emma here with the absolute last one ever (and I so blame keep_them_safe for this, I soooooo do), Ethan, a Seven of Spades. Born into the Deck before David took over, he's currently one of his King's little "pet projects", or something like that. Click for history and info if ya like.

He's just returned from a two-year mission working "undercover" in the Italian mafia, details of which are known between himself and his monarch. But he did manage to bring home a few new trinkets, many of which will end up replicated in the Spade armory, no doubt. >} He'll be familiar with his Suit (and no doubt many of the higher-ups in the others), but only close with Amy and David, to an extent. Anyone new to the Deck in the past two years, expect scrutiny and probably a lot of surreptitious (annnnd, probably some not-so-covert) information gathering.

Anyways, huzzah, my lovelies and so excited to be playing with you guys more! /bounce bounce ^^

I will wait forever for you, dearest one. Promise and cross my hearty. I'm stuck at work till midnight est, so I be hurr. And that's usually about the time my brain really settles into overdrive, so it works out perfectly, hee!

The Spades: we're all a little bit crazy.

I've never figured out what Urania's parents DID, but they were poisoned sometime in her late teens/early twenties (timeline, what?) and the rest of her family - identical extremely blonde twin sisters - either died in challenge (Echo) or left the Deck (Calypso) (Yes, their parents were awful namers).

My guess is that since Ethan was under David's wing and Urania's only rep was That Crazy Four Who Will Also Kick Your Ass If You Challenge Her....they probably didn't have a whole lot to do with each other. But she will totally troll him or snark at him or just be...dryly polite.

Depends entirely on her mood.

Hahahaaaa! If I DO get it done and printed, I'll take a snap of it and show.

[spysinspades.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaaaaaay.

:D

[eucre.livejournal.com]

:3 I will wait with bated breath and anticipation.

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

Have fun in class! Learn much!

[spysinspades.livejournal.com]

Bah. It's ethics.

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

Ohh, reciprocation will be so go. Definitely. >} And totes works for me, bb.

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

I....can't say that I blame her, either, come to think of it.

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

*thumbs up* Sounds like a plan. XD

Oliver here is a Spadebaby-- he's also a Seven, and even about the same age. So. Yeah. He's been a Seven for the past two years-- give or take quite a few falls to Six followed by sharp counterchallenges that get him back to Seven. Some call him the Six And A Half of Spades. Ethan may be amused to discover that he's still at Seven after two years away. XD It seems likely they knew each other as kids/teens, too.

I also have Isaac the Crazy Butler and Diamondbaby, but he was a reclusive child and just sort of flits around giving out tea and scrubbing patches of wall with a handkerchief. So. They may have a passing knowledge of each other.

Wren came to the Deck at sixteen as a horrible brat, matured over the years and was very recently promoted to the Ace of Hearts. They could have been teenage buds if he was okay with her drama queen ways.

Aaaand Garrett's been in the Deck a few months so would be new.

It's nothing personal. In fact I think that's her general attitude to most ridiculously handsome charming men.

ETA: After looking at how these two react. Clearly they must've known each other as kids/teens and were probably terrible influences on one another right up until she left the Deck about five years back. He could be the guy that almost lured her over to the dark side. Which will just make him meeting Dafydd that much more hilarious, really.

Please do, Sieben has several interesting poisons he didn't get to test before being made Jack. Sieben will raise a brow at him taking it in stride and will assume this means the plotting against him has begun.

Uh huh.

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

With Oliver: Competition forever, y/n? Somehow I can totally see that happening.

Lol, poor Isaac, a handkerchief? Goodness.

With Wren, it's feasible. He grew up with Amy next door, so female histrionics are probably very familiar.

My internet/cable is out so i am sticking with the two he would/might know

[maskofhearts.livejournal.com]

Um, obviously there is Victor. Who is pretty much the same guy he was when Ethan left. Still a Nine. Is oddly dating a girl 14 years younger than him. Um, he was on Athena/Julien's side of the suit conflict when Ethan left- and currently working- sort of- fot the Jack when Ethan returns.

Then there is Hadyn. Who Ethan might know only because Hadyn was born a Spade. His mother was a ten, in charge or training lower numbers, his father a nine. When daddy died/was murder about 12 years ago, Hadyn's mother took him and his brother Jordan to the Hearts.

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

That's okay, Ethan came home with a briefcase of new stuff, so experimentation is go. And you didn't really expect him to drink that in that cup there, did you? Please. Well, it could mean plotting or it could mean that his time outside among mobsters helped Ethan grow up quite a lot...but I sort of doubt it, fff.


YOU JUST SIT OVER THERE AND SHOOSH, MISSY.

[aceofsorts.livejournal.com]

Yeees. Oliver is a prickly little sod anyway, so. Love it. <3 He runs the armoury and is also the Arcana delegate.

Isaac's best ever friend lived at Spade Castle, so he was there a lot. But he was (and still kind of is) a complete misfit and outcast.

Awesome. When he left, she was probably already at Nine-ish. Now she's Ace. Booyah. Sadly, he just missed her big Ace party.

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

Oh GOD, yeah, they'll love to hate each other, especially since the armory is more or less Ethan's home away from. And he'll be bringing some new trinkets from Outside and Oliver can look only if Ethan says so. Nyah. :P

...Isaac and Jake need to go riding or something. Totes.

MAKE UP FESTIVITIES ARE GO?

[sevenbyright.livejournal.com]

Poisoning drinks is passé. Give him more credit than that. A lot will ride on Ethan's reactions to Sieben poking and prodding at him, especially if he's meant to be one of David's. Because David Is Sieben's Responsibility. And No One Fucks With David.

*posted first comment in super the wrong place*
Yaaay more characters?

Well Jesse's new as of a few months ago, so while he's doing his information-gathering he can stop in at the Deck's first-ever coffee house.

[aceofsorts.livejournal.com]

Oliver will lineface so much. "I run the place. Gimme. :|||" I am a big fan of love/hate forever even if he isn't.

Isaac doesn't get on with horses. EVEN THEY OUTCAST HIM. He leads a sad life. XD But he is currently kind of dating a Spade, so! He'll probably be around Spade Castle on occasion.

She has so much work now that she's Ace. So much. But this weekend she's hitting the town with Avery, Tegan and co! Ethan's invited? :D

[awearytraveler.livejournal.com]

Only have Andrea to offer here. They might have known each other in passing when growing up and he could remember her for being the major tease (and then some) to the boys.

Andrea might pick up his interest since she suddenly returned to Deck two months back after being gone several years and her leaving was such a dramatic and scandalous event in the Spades. But she possibly won't hold it up for long. Trying to not look like a threat to anyone so she'll do her damn best to come across as harmless and friendly. The bird and flowers will help that out so much. :|

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

Poke and prod away, Ethan has his orders. And Sieben can relax; David's probably the only person on the entire planet Ethan will never willingly cross.

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

Cue Ethan slapping Oliver's knuckles and telling him he's not old enough to handle such sophisticated equipment. /snerksnerk

Oh, believe it! Ethan has suitcases of amazing newish clothes to try, model and preen over. It took a bus just to bring home all his collected shit. ...did I mention he's a packrat of epic proportions, too?

/halps fix

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

/makes notes to add to the flowchart. Ethan will definitely keep an eye on Victor, and possibly boot Hadyn back out of he gets caught snooping again! :D
