Mission 14: Place Your Bets
At the hotel, Dante was sitting at a poker table with Angel Dust, Cruiser, Terry, Bullet, and Husker. The six were all playing cards while Vaggie, Charlie, and Niffty all watched. "Alright, I'll raise," Bullet said as he put in a blue poker chip.
"I'll call that," Angel Dust responded with a smirk as he also put in a blue chip.
"I fold," Terry said, throwing his cards down.
"Same," Cruiser echoed, folding as well.
"I'll stay in," Dante answered, throwing in his chips.
"You sure you want to do that? I mean, out of all of us, you're the one who's on a losing streak," Husk asked the Demon Hunter as he only saw what could be called chump change.
"Don't you worry, I have a good hand. I can feel it," Dante said coolly as he fanned himself with the cards in hand.
"You said that the last round and the rounds before that, but still lost," the winged cat said with a smile as he counted his chips. "But I beat you every time."
"Hate to admit it, but Huskey does make a solid point. For a guy who is good at killing demons, you're a shitty poker player," Angel commented to the Demon Hunter. "If I knew that from the beginning. I would have played you and made the bet to suck your dick a long time ago."
"We know, Angel. I swear you can be such a man whore, even if Val's a backscratcher now," Bullet said as he rolled his eyes and showed his cards. "Three 8s! I'd like to see you beat that!"
"Ha! Gladly," Angel showed his hand. "Three 10s!"
"Looks like luck is finally on my side because I have three kings," Dante said as he threw his cards down. As both the Hellhound and the spider looked at the cards in shock. "I think I'll take my winnings thank you."
"Not so fast, hotshot. I still have my hand," Husker threw his cards down. As he had a 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. "Straight beats a three of a kind so I win the whole pot and you have to clean the lobby!"
"Damn. Oh well, a bet is a bet," Dante sighed as he picked up a broom and started to sweep.
"Since the half-demon is doing that, how about another round," Husk suggested with a grin as he started to shuffle the deck. "Loser has to clean the second-floor public bathroom."
"This game is rigged," Terry mumbled as he had to throw in a dollar chip.
"What do you expect from a demon with wings that have card suits," Bullet mumbled as he put his own chip in.
"If you don't want to play, then that automatically makes you the loser. Besides, it's not my fault I'm good at cards," the cat demon said as he gave everyone at the table their cards.
As the boys continued to play their poker game, Vaggie turned to Charlie. "Should we really have them playing any kind of card game where you gamble? I don't think it would help with what we do here," the one-eyed moth demon voiced.
"Hey, it's not hurting them. Most people with gambling addictions just don't know when to quit until they end up in debt. They associate risk with getting all the money they could ever need or want," Dante stated.
"Why did you even bet on chores if Niffty was going to do them later, anyway," Charlie questioned as she looked at the Demon Hunter while he swept.
"Come on, babe. You did say the place was looking filthier than before with all the new people, so I thought this would be the best way. Besides, it gives Niffty a breather and makes everyone help out. After all, cleanliness is next to godliness," the Demon Hunter said as he kept cleaning.
