Work went surprisingly smoother than dice expected. Well dice always thinks about the worst possible outcome so, as long as no one got stabbed or killed. Then it was a good day of work!

The costumer's where pretty nice, dice only disliked the ones who didn't know what any of the coffees where. he would have to explain to them what every coffee was which would slow the line the which everyone hated. but luckily that was only a few of them. And the rest would only give him attitude or would flirt with him/ make sexual jokes at him.
He had to admit that some times he wished violence was an answer.

He also got to know some of the employees who also worked the night shift.

There was a man named 8 ball, he was about your average height, well built and when he wasn't doing his security job he was playing pool with the guests, he seemed to be pretty out of it tho.

Then there was this lovely but pretty snobby woman named Pirouletta, she was tall with bleach blond hair. she had a Russian accent and would go on and on about how lucky she was when playing poker. It annoyed dice because she would say all this when he was trying to pay attention on making his coffee.

After that was a man called Mr weezy, he smelled like cigar's and had a raspy voice, he was also one of the main people who would cat call and flirt with dice even after dice had made it clear he wasn't interested. So dice wasn't very happy about finding out weezy was also a co worker.

During his break he had visited the bar and met whisky and rum who turned out to be pretty nice and even offered dice some free dinner on the house. And by the time dices shift was over it was 2AM, he went back to the bosses office after closing down the coffee stand.

"Hey boss I finished for the night." Dice said as he opened the door and walked in. Dice looked at the desk and saw that the devil wasn't there. "Uh- first of all knock, second. How do I look" devil says and dice glances over to the couch to see devil sitting on it, with his back leaning agents one arm rest and his feet resting on the other one. But dice was worried about the fact that devil was wearing his clothes.

"W-wha... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Dice said confused as he walks over to the couch and devil looks up at him with a smirk "what, you scared I might look better than you MR Kingston" devil said smuggle as he crossed his legs.

Dice rolls his eyes"No that's not. I. Why did you put on my clothes?" Dice says as he calms down and looks at devil like he was a bratty child, only getting a shrug as a response. "Sir may I have my clothes back? I must go home" dice said as he crossed his arms and devil looks up at him then considers "huh... Ummmm. Yah sure" devil says as he gets up and takes off the white button up and black jeans in the snap of a finger.

"Man your pants are loose, you must be fat" devil said as he tosses the clothes to dice who scoffs "sir in all respects you are fatter than me" dice says and devil gets a confused look then looks down at his tummy saddened and offended "i- hey low blow!" He says as he points at dice seeming offended
"Your the one who brought that sort of stuff up first, oh and when is my next shift?" Dice asked as he put on his coat.

"Oh, umm how about, you come in after 7 whenever your not doing your whole show business stuff" devil says as he teleports some wine into his hand and offers some to dice who politely declines "really? That's generous of ya" dice says with a chuckle and devil sips his wine as he smiles.

"hehe I mean, Im a-"

" A Generous man. Yah I know boss" dice said with a tired smile and devil looked at him a bit shocked before genuinely smiling "hey! Your getting it dice boy" devil says as dice sighs and turns away, heading for the door "see ya tomorrow boss" dice said with a wave and devil stops drinking his wine "see ya Kingston!" He said in reply


"It dice"


"Ace you promise this is the last time right?!" Lottie said, looking at ace who sat on the opposite side of the glass, behind him stud a police man "yes Lottie I promise, after this I'll be a good man and do no more crime... Hopefully-" he said with a nervous smile as he glanced to the side.

"NO hopefully! It's a yes ace, a yes!"

"Lottie calm down" dice said as he put a hand on his sister's shoulder and made her sit back down. she seemed close to crying and dice knew she needed to be calmed down. "Ace we mean it. Your brother might not have long left and we are barely affording all his medical bills" dice said hoping his young brother would understand

"We can't bail you out, we just don't have enough. Your going to have to stay the two years... You already did four months so just do the rest" Lottie said sounding mentally drained and ace let out a sigh
"I know. I'm sorry guys, I'll try to get out early. You know I, have great behavior" Ace said with a small smile as he looked down, ashamed that he hasn't been able to stay out longer than 4 years since first going to jail.
"Oh and, good news tho I got a job at a casino ace. So if I get enough extra money that I'm not spending on Lou. When you get out we can go on vacation. All of us" dice said with a tired smile and ace looks up at them feeling a bit better

"Really... Well.. we should go to Mexico!" Ace said excitedly
"What- why mexico?" Lottie asked confused since it was so random. Ace shrugged "I don't know just always wanted to go" ace said as he thought about it and dice chuckled "alright if. I have enough and we do plan a vacation. I, will consider mexico" dice said and ace smiled happily

"haha yah!" He said
"Sir your time is up" the officer said and dice and Lottie, even ace got a sad look "alright see you later ace" dice said as he stud up with Lottie "promise you will send me more letters okay ace!" Lottie demanded and ace nods "alright alright I'll try. But bye guys visit soon" ace said as he got handcuffed again and taken through a door that leads back to the prison.

Dice and Lottie walked home, both feeling saddened after the visit. At this point dice had been working for a month with almost no breaks, and the days he was not working at the casino he was busy doing performances. He was so tired most of the time and his brother Lou told him time and time again to take a break. But after he would leave the room Lottie would say

"Dice it's for Lou!"

"Don't you quit so quickly. I'm older than you and I'm still holding up fine you cry baby"

"If you can't do this don't call him your brother"

It didn't matter how much he loved Lottie, she still got on his nerves with her degrading comments. It hurt him but he had to keep going
For Lou

Or till he dropped dead working.
