Right as he was about to agree with them that he was ready to play, a blur of a nation connected with the table in front of him. "S-South Korea?!" He shouted, nearly falling back at the sudden slamming. Adding Hong Kong to his mental list of nations to never piss off, he checked to make sure the victim was alright. And he was. Clearly this wasn't a first time thing.
In fact, it reminded him of Prussia and his brother. Though they would fight, they would still get along well.
Shaking his head and snickering at some of the various memories of the two of them, he picked up his cards and examined them, putting them in some sort of order for easy reference.

Hong Kong picked up his cards apprehensively. He knew that the begging cards were what played out the game. Not bothering to put the cards in order (he'd do that later), the Asian flipped through his small portion of the deck, looking to see if he had the Ace of Spades. Sadly, he did not. He turned his head sideways to look at the other nations, assessing there difficultly levels. 'The Dim-Wit is easy, I've played him enough to know his weaknesses, but Spain....I'll have to evaluate him as we're playing.' He sat back, cards in one hand, waiting for the rest of the players to get their act together.

((EEK!! I'm so nervous typing this!! I hope I'm not doing anything wrong!))
Singapore walked leaned towards the room where she heard voices. Two sounded European, and the other two voices definitely sounded Asian. She cautiously peeked into the room to see four figures; a short and petite looking blonde, two males with Asian features, and another male with brown hair.
The four nations were sitting together holding a bunch of cards. It looked like they had just started, but even still, Singapore felt depressed. She had absolutely had no knowledge of cards for she always thought that it was related to gambling. And as far as she knew, gambling was against the law. Well, for her anyway.
She was about to walk away when she tripped over her own boots.
"AAH!!" she shrieked.

Liechtenstein winced again as Korea’s forehead slammed against the table. She was about to call his name like Spain did but he seemed fine so she relaxed back into her chair. Hong Kong dealt the cards and she observed the number of cards passed out to each player. Spain organized his cards while Hong Kong shuffled through them looking for something, probably the starting card. Hong Kong stops searching and placed his cards in one hand. The female nation assumed he didn’t have it and her attention moved to the other two nations.
Someone shrieked and Liechtenstein turned to the direction of the sound. “Hello?” She called. “Is anything there?”

Spain whirled around to see where the shriek was coming from. For all he knew, it could've come from someone who saw a zombie.
Nope, just a clutzy Asian nation who tripped.
He sighed and set his cards facedown to help her. "Señorita, usted está bien?" Miss, are you alright? He asked, laying on his accent thick and kneeling down with his hand extended paired with a trademark soft smile. (He wasn't a member of the Bad Touch Trio for nothing, you know!)
"That looked like it hurt. Do you want me to take you to the medic?"

That hurt. Singapore layed sprawled out on the floor. How could she be so stupid as to actually trip on her own feet?! This was humiliating!!
"Señorita, usted está bien?" she looked up and saw a hand in front of her. It took her a few seconds to realize that that hand was extended for her. She took it and got up. "That looked like it hurt. Do you want me to take you to the medic?"
She shook her head as she dusted herself. She looked straight into the face of her helper and saw that it was the brown-haired European nation. If she hadn't mistaken the accent and the language he used, the person helping her was Spain. Then she realized that she had just stopped their game!
'Ah, I'm so clumsy! Please excuse me! I didn't mean to be a bother in the middle of your game! Please continue, don't worry about me!' that was what she wanted to say, but she was too embarrassed about tripping over her own feet, it came out like this;
"Ah! I'm very blur one! Excuse me ah! I didn't want to do kaypoh and ruin yo' game! Aiyah!! Continue continue, don't worry about me, lah!"
She saw the looks on the nations' faces and realized se had just did something more stupid than tripping on her boots. She blushed.

Spain was shocked with himself that he could actually semi-understand what she was saying. Something about being klutzy and apologizing for ruining the game... he thinks.
"Don't worry about it." He smiled and pulled her up. "We didn't even really start." That's when he got a genius idea. "I'm sure it wouldn't be too much trouble for you to join us, Señorita..." trailing, he left her to answer with her name. He didn't really recognize her, but by the look of her, she might have been another groundskeeper. Hallelujah.

Hong Kong raised an eyebrow. He had been surprised to say the least when the other Asian nation had come into the room so...dramatically. The brunette hadn't seen from Singapore in a long time. As in, since they'd had that stupid argument about whether or not littering should be banned.
Ah, those were the days.
When he heard Spain's offer, he pushed himself up on one hand. "Gathering all the cards would be troublesome. Anyway, you could never beat me at cards could you, Singapore, so why even bother playing me?"
He knew how much THAT would annoy her. He waited for her response in glee.

"... you could never beat me at cards could you, Singapore, so why even bother playing me?"
Singapore was shocked by what the Asian nation said. By now, she had already recognized him, he was Hong Kong. A teenage brunette that she had seen before.
'Argh! That stupid argument! Of course littering should be banned! Do you want people to get sick by just looking at a litter-filled street? Ugh!' she thought to herself.
She was going to say that she didn't know how to play, but when she heard Hong Kong's challenge - or at least, it sounded like a challenge - she was determine to beat him.
"I'll definitely beat you!" she said. She had already recovered her English and hoped that she wouldn't speak in her Singlish accent anymore. "Just tell me how the game works and I'm ready!"

Liechtenstein was happy that the Asian was fine. She was also somewhat happy that were another female nation around her age here maybe they could be friends. Hong Kong called her Singapore, she never met the nation in person before but she has heard about her. The European nation wasn’t surprised that Hong Kong and Singapore knew each other; after all they are part of the Four Asian Tigers. She felt suddenly grateful to Switzerland for teaching her foreign economics, not that she wasn’t grateful before. Hong Kong challenged her and Singapore gladly accepted. Liechtenstein giggled at the two Asian countries and scooted to the left a little to make room for the new player.

She sat next to the blonde girl and gave a scornful glare at Hong Kong. But it was interrupted by a slight shine beside her. The blonde's hair reflected a bit of some light and caught her attention. She looked close to Singapore's age and seemed very innocent-looking.
"Hi, I'm Singapore! What about you?" she asked.
"Liechtenstein." the girl said. Singapore smiled, she liked the sound of Liechtenstein's voice.
She turned her head back to Hong Kong. She wasn't sure if she heard a snicker from him, but either way, he had to go down. Singapore crossed her arms and raised her head a bit, hoping to give Hong Kong a threatening aura. She decided to rethink that and uncrossed her arms. She was going to be a bit immature today. She stuck out her tongue in Hong Kong's direction.
'Hey,' she thought to herself, 'I'm still a teenage kid.'

Hong Kong smirked at Singapore before reaching out for the other players cards, so that he could collect them back in.
"Since this little girl is going to play, I have to reshuffle the deck." He made a 'give-them-here' gesture, glancing to the side to see what Singapore's next reaction would be. At the same time, he was relatively worried -No, not worried, scared for his sanity- about the dim-wit though; he hadn't talked in a while.
'He must be plotting something'

South Korea had indeed been plotting something, however his ideas were ruined when Hong Kong recollected the cards. He had been trying to figure out how to best cheat with the cards that he had. The Korea did have extra decks of cards for just that, but none of them had made it with him and he didn't know if he even had any western-style cards. Probably. Somewhere in his room...which was more of an obstacle course. He laughed when he saw Singapore stick her tongue out at Hong Kong, though it didn't really have any affect on him. As most things didn't, annoying him required prior knowledge of whatever annoyed the pants off of him. Or the fireworks out of him. South Korea didn't know where he kept the things, but he always seemed to bust them out at the strangest of times.

Spain smiled, simply enjoying the friendly banter. It was good though, that he could finally understand Singapore (the clumsy Asian's name, as he found out) and that made this so much easier. He had begun wishing though that he had taken up on Monaco's poker face lessons, but oh well; he could make do with his usually impassive smile.

This little girl? THIS LITTLE GIRL!!!!!
How was she even little to begging with, Singapore thought to herself. She knew hat Hong Kong was just trying to tick her off. Then she saw Hong Kong glance her way and turn back to the cards. At that moment, Singapore saw a different look on his face that she hadn't seen very often; worry with a bit of nervousness.
'What's worrying him?' she wondered. Then she clapped her hands on her face. 'It's not like I'm worried for him or anything! Just curious!'
She looked at the other nations. Liechtenstein seemed like a shy girl, nothing to worry about. But she's the kind of person that makes you want to take care of her. Spain, that would be someone she would be worried about. But there was another nation. He hadn't said a word yet since Singapore came in. She knew he was Asian, but she just couldn't place him. Who is he?
