The lounge of the Hazbin Hotel is surprisingly peaceful for a change. A small, round table is cluttered with drinks, snacks, and a scattered deck of cards.
The group is playing an odd mix of poker and "anything goes" that Angel Dust insisted on calling "Sin City Standoff."
Angel Dust was leaning on the table, one of his hands was dramatically pressing his cards to his chest
Angel Dust: Alright, you degenerates! Moment of truth. On the count of three, show your cards!
Cherri: Better prepare to lose, Angel. I've got this one in the bag.
Niffty: Oh, this is so much fun! Do we bet dishes next round? I’d love to clean!
Husk: Yeah, sure, because that’s what this game’s been missing. Chores.
Blue: Um...are we sure I’m playing this right?
Angel Dust: Don’t sweat it, kid. Cards are like life, random as hell, and you never know when you’re about to hit the jackpot. Now! One...two...three!
The group slams their cards onto the table. Cherri Bomb cackles as she shows her cards, a reasonable hand.
Cherri: Ha! Take a look at these bad boys. That’s a winning hand right there!
Angel Dust shows his cards, which are decent but slightly worse.
Angel Dust: Eh, not bad, not bad. But don’t get cocky, hotshot.
Niffty: Oh...oh no! I think I goofed up my strategy! I thought pairs were more important...
Husk sets his cards down with a smug smirk as it was an unquestionably perfect hand.
Husk: Read 'em and weep, losers. You thought you had me? Rookie mistake.
Cherri: Ugh, seriously? Can’t you at least pretend to be surprised?
Angel Dust: Alright, alright, we get it. Big tough guy with a killer hand.
Everyone turns to Blue, who lays his cards on the table.
Blue: Um, is this good?
On the table lies an unholy combo.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon paired with all five pieces of Exodia.
Angel Dust stares at the cards, jaw dropped. While Cherri chokes on her drink.
Angel Dust: WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. HELL?
Cherri: Holy bombs, kid! Did you just...how is that even possible?!
Niffty: Wow! That’s so cool! Is this the part where confetti comes out?
Husk:....I quit. I’m done. I can’t compete with whatever this is. Who even put those cards in there?!
Blue: W-Wha?
Angel Dust: Kid, do you even know what you’ve done? This is, like, double illegal in five dimensions!
Blue: I just thought the dragon looked cool and the other cards matched....
Cherri Bomb was laughing so hard that she falls off her chair.
Cherri: Oh my God, I can’t! This might be the most cursed thing I’ve ever seen!
Angel Dust: Alright, new rule. Blue is banned from cards. You’re officially too powerful for this crew.
Blue: But...did I win?
Husk: Yeah, kid. You won life.
Niffty: This was the best game ever! Let’s do it again!
The group dissolves into laughter, with Blue quietly smiling, still unsure what exactly he did to cause such a reaction. Approaching the table, was Charlie and Vaggie, the former had a huge smile on her face after seeing the group enjoy their time together.
