Ace, who had by this time already collapsed in a chair with a hand over his face- looked up at that and sighed, "Look, guys.....Im sorry. Sorry bout da war....sorry dat im not da best leadah for you all....Just...sorry."
And there he went. Ace was not such an insecure guy normally, but by nature- when something went wrong he had a tendency to blame himself. Even if it wasn't his fault per se.

"Aw Ace, it wasn't your fault!" Cheater said sympathetically. "And you're a WONDERFUL leader."

"Yeah... Ace your a great leader..." Fancy slurred quietly from where she sat on the stairs....

Lukas sat quietly, taking it all in, twirling his derby around in his hand and his hair was completly covering one eye. He had never seen Ace down like this, showing some vulnerability, so he watched wide eyed.
"Who da hell is Spike?" He finally blurted out. "An' whats 'e got ta do with the Bronx?" He tried to figure out the situation

Ace was so shocked by the outburst he chuckled under his breath. "Spike is a Brooklyn kid- couldn't have been more den eight.." He shook his head, "Found him dead in Manhattan, just dead. Spot blames Jack- and so do i, truthfully. Someone from Manhattan did it, that much is clear- but he wont own up to it...."

Lukas' face went cold. So murder that was it. "Damn 'hattan" he grumbled followed by jumbled German. "So we'se getting wrapped up in all dis because of some jerk on da island?! Dis is just grand.." He slumped down in his seat scowling at noone and nothing in particular.

Cheater looked blankly at Fancy, her face showed no emotion, and her eyes darted nervously around the room, showing the only feelings she had right now.
The tension in the room was so thick that you could cut it with a knife and spread it on toast... ((mmmm, the tension of butter... xD)) when finally she broke it by saying, "we're all gonna die."
Not usually heard out of such an optimistic girl, but she was feeling extreamly depressed at the moment, as well as nervous and angry.

Fancy leaned her head against the bannister "No we aren't...." she waved a hand at Cheater "Your to cute to die!" she giggled and held onto the bannister. She smiled at Ace "You to!" she leaned back on the stairs and began searching the ceiling with her eyes "Hey Cheater... this game is addictive!" she started tracing out animals with her fingers. "I really want some whiskey right now.."

Cheater leaned her head back and closed her eyes. "Yes we are. Look, you take the position of crazy optimist, I'm just going to be the person who says negative things." She mumbled, now feeling completely confused.
"Or, you can be the crazy optimist who likes whiskey, and I can be the negative person who's sure to ruin everything but is happy sometimes. You know, those roles can work out..." Having no idea what she had just said, she blinked and closed her eyes again, willing herself to go to sleep... or at least forget all about this...

Fancy groaned "Shut Up Cheater i have a head ache..." she got up and walked over to one of the couches, sitting down. She burried her head in the pillows....

"Oi..." Ace got to his feet, "Come on you guys. If i cant get down then neither can you." He frowned, thinking. "Its late, listen... How about we all get some sleep and go and bother Spot tomorrow? We can work all this out, ok?"

"Well who's fault is that then?" Cheater mumbled sleepily to Fancy. Her eyelids drooped again, and soon she was asleep on the couch.

Fancy smiled sadly over at Ace "Sounds like a plan..." she moved Cheaters head onto the pillow and dragged herself up the stairs....
