Taking a break from school after a long week of assessments and tests. Y/n was lounging in her room playing with Arthur on her bed. Just as she was about to launch him on to a pile of pillows on her floor there was a knock at the door. Cuphead poked his head through, "Hey sis, you want to learn how to soul bet?" He grins. She launched Arthur a little too strongly and he landed on her drawer with the T.v. Arthur began to squeal, jumping off the drawer and running under the bed. "Arthur I'm sorry, please don't be upset with me." She pleaded peek under the bed. Arthur's back was too her, he only gave a snort before shuffling farther away. Tears began to prick at y/n's corner eyes. "Come on sis, Arthur will forgive you later, we got souls to bet." Cuphead said picking Y/n up and throwing her over his shoulder (Good thing she had pants on).

By one of the empty gaming tables y/n sat between Cuphead and Mugman. Both drinking some Gin and looking at passer-bys. After 5 more minutes Y/n began to become impatient. "Ugh, Cupsy, Mugsy why am I just sitting here looking at random people!?" Both brothers froze at their sister's self-appointed nicknames. "Sis don't call us that in public." Cuphead whispered, chuckling nervously at a woman that passed by just then. The woman gave a knowing smile and walked off. "And to answer your question, we are scoping out an easy target for you." Mugman said taking a sip of his Gin. "But you haven't even taught me how to soul bet." Y/n whined. "Oh believe us when we say that you will know exactly what to say when the time comes." Mugman explained. "Yeah, it's more on negotiating and sweet-talking and you our little muse is all that rolled into one small doll-like body, it'll be hard to say no to you. Especially if you use that face of yours." Cuphead said turning y/n's head toward him smirking. "Uh Ok, hmm", she turns her head back to the crowd, "Uh what about him?" Y/n points toward a old chap in a down coat and top hat with a barstool handle mustache. "Oh, that's a tough one sis, you sure you don't want to try someone else?" Mugman frown at his sister's choice. The man she was referring to was lord Bandersnatch, a wealthy and prosperous old man with no heirs to his fortune, he has been a regular here, no one not even King Dice was able to convince him to sign a deal, well everyone except Satan himself or Y/n. He could spend $2.3 million dollars a night and it wouldn't even put a dent in his checkbook. He was also known for his stubborn output on life and gambling in general. As he is known for stating the saying by Hunter S. Thompson," There are many harsh lessons to be learned from the gambling experience, but the harshest one of all is the difference between having Fun and being Smart."

"No, I want him!" She said defiantly. Both brothers looked at each other through squinting, cold, calculating eyes before looking back at their little sister. "Alright squirt, you got your wish. Just remember to look him in the eyes" "Keep the conversation light" "And most of all be friendly." They both concluded. As Y/n raced over to the lord, Mugman and Cuphead grimaced. "What the hell did we just allow?" Mugman asked downing his drink. "I really don't know." Cuphead said, "But maybe this will be a good experience for her." He continued. "Yeah, well in case for the worst, let's get King Dice and father to come watch." Mugman said getting up to go find the "Right-hand man". Cuphead downed his drink ready to go find their father.

While Y/n was having a good conversation with lord Bandersnatch, both were laughing at a joke Y/n heard on t.v last night. "Sir, how about a game of Blackjack?" A twinkle danced in y/n's eyes. But it went unnoticed by the lord. "Very well child, I will humor you, but I will not hesitate with your swift defeat." He joked. Coming to an empty table near the entrance/exit. Both sat down and Y/n pulled out a deck of fresh blue Bicycle playing cards. Shuffling the cards and then having lord Bandersnatch split it, to shuffle one last time just like Dice showed her. She began distributing between her and the lord. After both looked at their cards respectively, Y/n asked "Hit, or Stay?" Y/n asked looking at her hand, 19. 'I could win.' She thought happily. "Hit me dealer." He winked. Sliding the card to him face-down Y/n could only wonder what he got.
