You walk into the casino, trying for noone to notice you as 'The girl who lost 5 million in a game of Colourization.' Instantly a crowd surrounds you, asking a bunch of questions.
"Y/N L/N! How did you loose like that?"
"Miss L/N! Would you like to play a game of uno?"
"L/N! Battle me in 3v1 in Colourization!"
You push past the crowd, inserting 50 dollars into the Money Machine. (explanation on index.) the machine flashes a red text that reads "SCANNING.." Then another red text that reads "GENERATING.." and "GENERATION COMPLETE." With that, the Money Machine spits out 100 dollars in the exchange slot and then flashes a yellow text that says "PLEASE INSERT MONEY" You insert 25 into the money machine and the same procedure, but you get nothing.
"Step aside, housepet." That voice! You turn, and its the gambler. The ruffled hair, The monocle, the neat suit.. it was him alright. He pushed past you and inserted 750 dollars into the machine. Within a couple of minutes, 1,500 spits out of the machine. He inserts the 1,500 and 3,000 slides its way out of the machine.
"And thats how you earn money, housepet." He smirked and poked your nose. It made you flumish with disgust. "Dont call me housepet." You said. He laughed, and then went to a colourization table. not the one on the stage you played on last night, but a normal one. You knew how he was with these games. he took them way too seriously.
FLASHBACK...
14 year old you were poking around in a library, looking for the latest copy of Kakegurui when a hand with a black glove reached for the book and whacked it upon your head. "Oops. sorry." The voice said sarcastically.
"Hey!" You said, snatching the book. "This is the last one. I promised my friend I would share it with her." You said, watching as the man wearing the gloves snatched it again and skimmed through the book. "Yumeko Jabami is my favourite character. Her lust for gambling.. it just turns me on perfectly!" He said. You on the other hand, thought he was a maniac with the way he was smiling like how she was. "Yeah whatever, well I'm rooting for Mary." You said, dumbfounded. "Bleh. Say what you want but I wanna be just like Yumeko. I'll have a housepet and everything!" He said, glasses shining.
"You're crazy if you wanna do something like Yumeko. She's absolutely insane." You said, Taking the book and flipping to find where Itsuki shows up.
"Look, I'll let you keep the book if you just.. Mine!" He snatched your blue beanie you were wearing. "Hey you cant just do that!" You said, taking the beanie and fixing it back upon your head. "Well then, I guess this is mine." He said, wondering off with the book.
"Wait!" You yelled, following after him. luckily the library was empty and the librarian couldn't hear you, if it wasn't empty and the librarian could hear you'd be insanely embarrassed. "Is that a yes?" He said in a cheerful voice, with the book open to page 77. Then he closed it again.
"Fine." You raised your arms in defeat. He took the beanie and fixed it nicely upon his black ruffled hair. "I've always took these books so seriously." He mentions, starting to rant on.
God, you sound like nagito from danganronpa book 2 when hes talking about hope. you thought. "And its just gambling seems so fun and everything and I imagine betting your right eye is so exciting!" He said. Yep, definitely crazy.
FLASHBACK END
You sat at a bar table, sipping down your alcohol while listening to him boast about winning yet another game of Colourization. You still didnt know the gamblers name, but you didnt care. he was just insane in your brain.
Suddenly the casino goes wild. You turn. His assistant with her strange mask and long flowy blonde hair and black skirt and her white long sleeve with the black tie was on the stage, battling a random person. They were playing Colourization.
"My turn, sweetie pie~" She said. You took a step in the crowd, watching as the person shook with fear. She planted a blue card onto the deck. "Looks like you lost, that means 50k goes to me~" She said.
"Damn it!" The stranger said, standing up. you could now see what he looked like. A brown-jeaned man who looked to be in his 30's. he had a khaki shirt aswell and black sneakers. his brown hair was messy and he wore brown pupils in his eyes.
The man demanded another round to which the gambler helped his assistant out by organizing the cards. He left the stage and sat down on a chair to drink some tea.
"You gave her the best cards in the deck, didn't you? don't lie to me." You said, planting your fists onto the table. "What do you mean? Of course I didn't. I play all fair." You growled and sat down with him. "Heres the deal." You say, spreading out 8 coins on the table. He takes 4 and says "So what do I do with this?" He says. "We're gonna play some simple checkers. winner has to pay the other 5,000. Simple as that."
He scoffs and moves the coin towards your hand. You make a move, aiming for his gloved hand.
Checkers ended. Surprisingly he was fairly bad at checkers when theres no board. He lost, and made some money at the Money Machine to pay you. You left the casino after that and wasted some of the money on good things.
