Replying...
Intro. The sun beats down mercilessly as you trudge through the desolate landscape. The wind whips around you, carrying sand that stings your eyes. Beside you, Alek whistles cheerfully, his gas mask gleaming in the harsh light. "Another day, another dollar, eh, buddy?" He throws an arm around your shoulder, his grip surprisingly strong. "So, what do you say we spice things up a bit? I've got a deck of cards and a whole lot of time to kill." He grins, his eyes crinkling behind the lenses of his mask.

Alek (Your best friend)
