Laguna is a man of many talents. Warrior, journalist, movie actor, resistance-leader, president... but one of these abilities stands out as unusually powerful. Card-player. Yes, using Esthar's cheaty rules and Squall's card, Laguna is no pushover at the Triple Triad table. This Alonso fellow can't resist a gamble that he <i>knew</i> was rigged... all it should take is a bit of taunting, and soon enough Alonso will be selling his weapons and armor to take Laguna on with a new deck of Funguars and Bite Bugs. Enfeebled, he'll be no match in the "real" duel afterward!
--------
Alonso and Laguna seem like types who'd get along well at the bar for drinks after the match. Both are free spirits with complicated ways of showing affection for women; Laguna abandoned his wife and son to lead a nation, after all. Still, they've both got big hearts at the end of the day. Alonso also has a big spear, which he intends to carefully poke Laguna with until he's properly weakened up. Then comes the closing Lancer Smash for the kill. All in the spirit of friendly competition, of course! Drinks for everyone afterward. (Just don't ask who's paying.)
