Your name is Spades Slick, you're the leader of a notorious group of mobster called The Midnight Crew and you run this town, Midnight City. It took quite some time to build this town but when you were finished, you and the crew had decided to go celebrate at one of the first Casino's you built, in fact this Casino was one of you and the crews favorite so far.
Diamonds Droog was the first to speak among the silence of their fun " perhaps you should tone it down a bit on the drinking Slick, I don't want to be responsible for one of your drunken violent outbursts." He was a tall man, with short black hair and cold blue eyes that could pierce the soul if you looked into them for too long, followed by a deep calm, intimidating voice. He wore a black suit accompanied by a white tie and a black hat. If you were to meet him for the first time you wouldn't of guessed behind that calm and collected face would be someone with quite the anger issue, but even through that he was the brains behind the crew. He would mostly be the one to come up with plans for the crew, either it be a heist or just something normal or small he could always help to come up with the perfect plans, which at some points were completely flawless.
Clubs Deuce was the next person to join in on the talking "Come on Droog! Don't be a party pooper, if he starts being violent Boxcars'll take care of him!" Deuce was a short man, with light brown hair and bright gray blue eyes, he wore a black dress shirt and black pants, no tie or suit coat to accompany it. At first sight you could possibly mistake him for a child, especially with his height and the way he acted was almost like a ten year old at times even when they were doing a heist of all times but you had to admit the little guy was always the one to cheer the crew up whenever they were unsuccessful during a heist, he was also the explosives expert of the group.
Hears Boxcars reached over, ruffling Deuces hair with a slight smile on his face, Hearts was the big brute of your group, he was much taller than Droog which made him even more intimidating. He had dark brown eyes and dirty blonde hair. At first sight many people would have thought he'd be the type to take anyone who messed with him down in an instant but really he was just a big teddy bear, but mess with a women or someone in the group especially Deuce and you'd just be asking for a death wish.
You were about to say something back to your crew when you saw a group of people enter the Casino, they were all wearing green suits with different colored hats. Both you and your crew had never seen this group around the city before so of coarsely you were all curious as to who these new people were. One of them which looked like the leader was up in front ahead of everyone, he wore a green suit accompanied by a green bow tie, he had dark red hair and strangely his eyes were a maroon color, he wore a tri-coned hat of the same color which clashed with the bright green suit and tie, it had a number seven in the middle. They reminded you of pool balls by how all their hats matched them.
A much taller man was following right next to their supposed leader. He wore the same suit as the others, he had messy dark brown hair with dark jade green eyes, he seemed very scrawny compared to the others. He wore a green top hat with a number six in the middle, six was carrying a small completely white doll with a few pins sticking out of it, it must have been a voodoo doll. There was a much smaller make running up behind Six, he had curly orange hair, bright purple eyes and freckles all over his face, he wore a purple hat with a number four in the middle, he seemed very hyper but he wasn't as hyper as the one that had just ran past their leader, he ran so fast you didn't even see him until he was already ahead of number seven. he wore a yellow hat with the number one in the middle, he had curly blonde hair and yellow-brown eyes, he was carrying another fellow on his back, this one had short brown hair with blue eyes, he wore a blue top hat with the number two in the middle, he didn't seem very quick to react to number one's fast movements in fact he was very slow with speech as well.
As you were about to look away you spot the lady in the group, you knew exactly who this women was. She used to be the Queen of Derse. Droog noticed your glowered expression, he leaned over to whisper some advise to you "Let's just ignore them, we're here to relax and have a good time don't forget." But of course you didn't listen to him, instead you got up and started to make your way over to her. Boy did you have some things to say to her, ask her how it feels to be at your level now, how it felt to be exiled just like you and your crew were.
You didn't get far, as soon as number seven saw you he immediately got in front of her in a protective stance, you started yelling at him to get out of your way, this was between you and the women, you had a bone to pick with her and you weren't going to leave until you got the chance to speak with her.
It was at this moment that Droog got up from where e had been sitting, he walked over and placed s hand on your shoulder "I thought I told you not to cause any trouble." He said, a bit of anger in his voice but you didn't care, you were the leader not Droog. He kept his usual stoic expression as you turned your anger over to him, number six spoke up but it was a very light and nervous voice, he was mumbling and stuttering throughout his entire speech " w-we don't want any t-trouble now, we only came here to p-pick up a package for the D-Doc, w-we'll leave once we have it." He was a nervous wreck, but he also seemed a bit creepy, at least how his voice sounded. Number Seven took his glance over to Six "If they decided to fight us we'll have no choice,I'm positive the Doc will understand if we're just a little late, it's not like this type of stuff hasn't happened before Die, I know you remember that." So his name was Die, you guessed it fit the guy pretty well, you turn your attention to number seven " who are you?" You say, in an aggravated tone of voice. He turns to look at you before answering " Crowbar, I'm the leader of this group, we're called The Felt."
"The Felt huh?" You scowl and turn your back to them " We're the Midnight Crew, don't ever let us catch you freaks around here again, or next time there will be trouble." He start to walk away, giving the ex-Queen of Derse a death glare before doing so, she only smiles at you in response. You and your crew leave the Casino after that, it was starting to get late anyways. You head back to your hideout with the rest of your crew to get some rest, you all had a heist the next day to get ready for.
A few weeks later you returned to the Casino, only to find it in ashes. As you search around you find a note near the place, picking it up you start to read it and you enraged by what you read "Let this be a small warning to not mess with The Felt, we hope this made you learn your lesson, Sincerely Doc Scratch." You crumple up the paper after reading this, you make your way into the room the rest of your crew is in and tell them, they seem just as angered as you are, especially sense it was your favored Casino in the city.
You turn your back to them to leave before saying this "Crew, cancel tonight's heist. Tonight we're going to raid this so called Felt Mansion and burn it to the ground."
