Old Fashioned: Casino Cups x Reader

Part five

(Hello readers, after this chapter there's going to be a tiny hiatus. Not only am I working on a couple of other books, I've ran out of a lot of inspiration for this book, it will continue eventually though. I just need some time to gain back my inspiration and finish the first couple of chapters of the other books I'm working on.)

(Question: so mugs is like the tipsy troupe when he's drunk? What's Cuphead like when he's drunk?)

"Mug's only like that on a LUCKY day." Cuphead chuckles.

"C-can we-not talk about this?" Mugs stutters.

"Cause usually when he gets drunk, he just gets sad and cry's a lot." Cups continues.

"Well when your drunk you just end up doing crazy shit." Mugs mumbles.

"I end up doing crazy shit when I'm not drunk!" Cups laughs.

"There was this one time when you somehow managed to sneak into the theater and up onto the stage, you gains the role of Romeo and then proceeded to 'recreate' the play of Romeo and Juliet." Mugman smirks.

"Heh don't even get me started on when I found you in the middle of a secret room of some old ancient ruin Cups!" (Y/n) chuckles.

(Skipping the one about Elder Kettle because it makes me sad)

(Question: what do you all do in your spare time?)

"Whatever we want?" Cups remarks

"Depends on whether you're talkin' about durin' work or in general."

"Mugs and (y/n) spend a lot of time at the library."

"What about it?" Mugs glares. "It's (y/n's) day off, so none of us really know what she really does in her free time, since her hours are fairly different from ours."

"I'm beginning to confuse spare time with work."

(Meanwhile with (y/n)-)

(Y/n) walks to an old shelf of books in the back of the city library, almost no one went to that shelf because of the language all of the books were written in.

An ancient dialect, one one that predated most other ancient languages. It was a language mainly depicted in hieroglyphs.

She reached for a book that translated to—
?l???—-?f——??e——????o?n

The book slid back into place as the shelf swings open to reveal a passage. (Y/n) walked into it as the door closed behind her.

'They cannot find out about this...' (y/n) thought.

(Question: hey devil! Would you mind giving us some backstory on King dices Contract?)

"The one making him manager? Or the one for his soul?"

"For both, there isn't much of a story, but let me think back....you know I l like seeing sinners given what the deserve. For whatever they took from the world, the world would take back more....it's justice."

"Never have I thought that this contract would of Niven the world to him on a silver platter. But before it could even come to that. He had to pay."

"I know that better than anyone."

"Bastard outcheated me in a game, just like he did with every sucker an that casino. But they deserve to know, don't you think?"

"And what did he deserve? They decided a bullet hole. I decided a spot in my casino."

"He only had a few minutes to decide whether he would die In that alleyway, or come with me."

"Either way he was bound for hell....but hell can be many things."

(Question: hey king Dice, do you have a secret (platonic) relationship with the cup trio? (Like your nice to them and have a small soft spot for them? Or are you just a mean boss all the time?)

"Believe me, those three don't need a soft spot from me. But a mean boss? I'd say I'm a quite fair boss!" Dice exclaims.

"Fair?! Ha! Yeah right."

"Oh choosin' favorites now are we? Just because (y/n) is your sister, doesn't mean she's a better boss!" Dice smirks.

"Hey! I heard that!!" (Y/n) yells from her office.

"well I wasn't tryin' to whisper, at least we know you aren't deaf!" Dice shouted back.

"Fuck you!!"

————
(Question: does the trio remember anything about their parents? Maybe elder kettle shared something?)

"No, honestly I'm not sure if we even have parents."

"We never really asked him...never really had to.."

"And....now we might never know..."

"So what? It doesn't matter..."

"As for (y/n), we aren't sure, she's been a mystery ever since we first laid eyes on her."

————
(Question: that's the cup trios favorite people in the casino?)

"Favorite people eh? Mine are chips and mangs, they're funny to hang around." Cups answers.

"I'd have to say mine are pirouetta and pachinko-"

"Who The hell is pachinko?"

"Why does no one know who pachinko is?!"

"Hmm, I'll agree with mugs about pachinko, for the other one though...there's this... thing that no one except I can see, but it always seems to know how to help me...." (Y/n) mumbles.

————
(Fact: did you know that the heart, spade, diamond and clubs all have different meanings? Hearts=love, spades=death, diamonds=riches, and clubs=good health. Since your boss made the uniforms, do you think the symbols on them have a meaning?)

"So basically money and riches?! This can only mean good things!" Cuphead exclaims.

"Death huh?...." Mugs mumbles.

"Though didn't boss put them on the uniforms because of our super meters?" Cups asks. "Actually that only makes it better!"

"Heh I guess he likes to pay attention to detail."

"You know that ain't all they mean right?" Dice chimes in.

.....(y/n) chuckles darkly with a hint of sadness.
"I guess my facade didn't work on him....shit."

————
(Question: devil, what was your plan for the cup bros before they started working here? Also, What is Calix Animi?)

"The Calix Animi Is an Ancient society along with three others that held powers that some considered....heavenly.... That's what made them stand out so much in the first place."

"I just HAD to have them, if I could've gotten my hands on that power....well..."

"Oh but I can kiss that fantasy goodbye bye, turns out that their powers ran out long ago. It's long gone, hardly anythin' left of it. Like the brothers, those two are descendants of that power, and them and possibly (y/n) are the only ones left who's could wield it."

"You know, not every kind of magic can defeat a demigod, but a magic with such light, a magic that can manipulate the soul...and turn it into a weapon...."

"Guess I'm back to chasing that damned chalice..."
