The week had gone by rather quickly. Dice had done 3 shows, went to brunch with Lou, visited ace in prison, and had spent the rest of the week learning every card and gambling game with the help of his sister Lottie. she actually went to the devil's casino often and knew how most things worked there since a decade ago she worked there.

"I'm off to work Lottie! Take care of Lou okay." Dice said as he put on his shoes "I know dice, I'm taking him to dinner tonight since I got a bit extra on the pay check" she said a bit smugly as she did her makeup in the bathroom mirror that was next to the front door.

"Wait. But aren't we meant to be saving the extra money we get for Lou's treatment? I already took him out this week." Dice said as he stud up and looked at the bathroom door." oh dice it's just 20 bucks. And besides you got that new casino job and I really want to take his mind off of it okay" she said as she looked at dice with a small smile but clear sadness in her eyes.

Dice sighed as he looked away in thought. "Now you should be getting to work. And make sure not to mess up your makeup before getting there, I spent a lot of time into it!" She said as she walked up to him and pinched his cheek and he chuckled "I understand Lottie. See ya" he said as he grabbed his coat and opened the front door "bye kingly! Get home safe" she said as dice made his way into the apartments hallway.

The walk to work wasn't long, and before he knew it he already was there, greeted again with the sound of people cheering and loud music. Dice took in a deep breath as he walked to the front doors and made it inside.

Once inside he went straight to the reception desk to talk to the receptionist "hey miss I'm here to talk to the boss" dice said with a soft smile as he walked up to the woman. "Oh! Kingsley! Your back, I'm so glad to see you! Yah the boss is waiting in his office just remember to knock!" She said with a happy smile before getting a look of realization. "Oh yah! and have this!" She said as she grabbed a small chip shaped pin from a cabinet in her desk "I put cha name on it!" She said happily as she passed it to dice who looked at it and smiled happy

"why, thank you so much miss! I appreciate it" he said before making his way to the employees only door. Dice looked down at the small pin, it was a red poker chip pin that had his name written on the middle of it. He assumed that it was made for everyone but it still made him happy that he got one.

After dice made his way to the office door, dice knocked on it and waited, spending the waiting time looking at himself in the mirror, he straightens his button up and bowtie as he waits.

"You may come it"

He heard his boss say and dice did just that.

"Ah so you actually came back! I didn't think you would." the devil said with a smirk as he watched dice walk in and make his way to the desk "I told you, I wanted this job and meant it." dice said with a small stern smile, putting his hands behind his back as he talked. "So it seems so...well, your uniform is on the couch over there" devil said as he pointed over to the couch and dice looked in the direction he pointed.

The uniform was a white button up that had a red sort of tint to it. on top was a velvet red button up vest with a green poker chip on it that had 100 where the name should be. His pants were a dark grey red that seemed comfy and soft to the touch.

Devil got back to his paper work as dice walked over to the couch and picked up the clothes "heh, how did you know my size?" Dice said jokingly as he looked over at the devil who glanced up at him "oh I didn't. I had a past employee who had died while working a few years back and they had about. Hmmmm the same body size. So I just gave ya there clothes instead." Devil said as he looked at dice with a grin and dice got a look of wtf and tried to say something but found himself in utter confusion.
