After work the next day, the fluffy pink spider and the winged cat demon sat in the office discussing possible things Anthony could do around the casino.

"You could take up a shift at the bar if you wanted, or help fix some of the slots." Husk thought aloud.

Anthony shrugged. He wasn't opposed to bartending but, he was fairly certain he had no idea how to fix a slot machine.

"Is there anything else?" Asked Anthony.

Husk thought about it for a moment. He sipped from the glass of alcohol before snapping his fingers at the idea he had.

"Ya any good at poker?"

The spider laughed, as he remembered one of the few times he and Husk played poker. "Do you not remember the time we all played poker at Cherri's?" He asked.

That was ages ago it seemed. He was pretty sure Anthony lost on purpose. By the sounds of it now, that was a no. Anthony was just that bad. It was strip poker because, the hoes make stupid choices. Anthony was nearly naked in the span of five turns. Husk shook his head at the memory, having Angel play poker was a bad idea, but he did have a solution.

"I could teach ya. It's not that difficult." Husk offered.

Anthony's eyes went wide. He could barely contain the excitement he felt. He really wanted to be able to pull his own weight as a business partner. (And also spend more time with Husk in the process) "Really?!"

The cat demon nodded. "Whatever you wanna do. I mean there's a rule here, that keeps me from losing. Residual from my deal with..... you know who but, I don't know if that would be the case, if I'm not the one dealing the cards. We'll figure that all out later but, I don't mind teaching you, poker with your friends would be a bit more fun if it was a challenge to be honest."

It's fun to win but, it's pretty boring when Husk could win a game in under five. Especially if all Angel's friends were high as kites.

Anthony giggled in excitement. "That sounds fun." He wiggled his eyebrows.

Husk groaned and facepalmed, annoyed by the spider's flirty demeanor, his eyes rolled a bit as he pointed at Anthony with a single claw.

"You're keeping ya damn clothes on. Ya supposed to get better, not lose on purpose!" He softly shoved the spider jokingly.

The spider chuckled. "It wouldn't be on purpose! I'm just really bad!" He stated shoving the cat back.

Husk tilted his head and poked Anthony's nose. "Yeah, sure. I know you well enough. You probably lose dispite me, literally telling you what to do; just to be a fuckin brat." He stated.

Anthony rolled his eyes in annoyance because he knew Husk was right.

A few weeks later and it was New years Eve. Cherribomb rented out a Venue for the party because, she invited a ton of people and everyone was told to bring friends. This new years party was going to be bigger than the last one.

Anthony wore a short black skirt, with a sown in pocket chain, and a pink sweater that had the card suits on it. It was a gift he got for Christmas from Husk. The spider put on his boots and did his make up. He was a little nervous he might not stay sober. He was trying to let that possibility be okay. After his talk with Cherri, and then the one with Husk, he knew it was okay to mess up sometimes but, that didn't mean he wanted to. Cherri and the rest of the hoes, go really hard for the new year and he usually did to.

He and Husk were drinking some cheap liquor from solo cups. Sitting at a couch, drinking, and chatting about nothing important. Mia and some girl were making out in a corner, classic Mia. Cherribomb and Sir Pentious, were no where to be found.
