"Oh woaaaah, haha, you just lost 90 Million dollars, mister Charles!"
Gloated Pisces Ichthys, the two of spades as he childishly cupped his face and gazed at Charles Eversten in amazement.
After the tragic event with Virgo and Libra, Charles had no other option but to play again in hopes of winning the money back. What wishful thinking.
"Ahaha, I'm gonna buy me some fancy Doritos, Oh! and maybe some Glitter glue for Sag!"
Charles' face paled at his extended bill while his mind spun-uncontrollably. slowly watching his world fall to ruins. His chair was swept away from under him as he fell to the floor. , thanks to One of Pisces's companions who snuck up to him undetected.
"Surely you don't need 90 million dollars for a packet of Disgusting chips and sparkling glue"
he tried to reason with Pisces but was returned with a negative response.
"Firstly, how dare you call Doritos disgusting, I take offense to that, secondly, Ill use my money, however I please.--"
Pisces hummed as he said so in a cheery voice, he then glared downwards to make eye contact with Charles, looking him dead in the eyes before a dark shadow was casted upon his face as his cheery voice turned into a menacing one before he continued.
"--and lastly, I watched your pathetic game with Libra, so yeah, I know you're broke!. I just wanted to see how desperate you really are."
Charles grasped onto his temple as he was mentally breaking down for the fifth time tonight. Hot tears fell to the floor as he sobbed breathlessly. There was no way in hell he could conjure up 165 million dollars within two weeks.
Pisces features softened at his actions, This man was truly pathetic. and yet, Pisces couldn't help but see his past-self within this pitiful soul. The faint memory of Pisces, laying depressingly on the dark cemented street's as the rain poured down non-stop gave him a sudden headache at the cursing thought.
"...or...Perhaps there's some information about a certain someone you could give me instead..."
Everstens eyes lit up with hope but Pisces's colleagues groaned at his empathy for the miserable man, disagreeing with Pisces's immediately.
"Common Ichthys, he lost so he has to pay up, its the casino rules"
proclaimed the person who was still clutching onto Charles' missing seat.
"Shut up Jax, The casino rule's state that both players must wager things they deem of equal value, so Eversten, Tell me about...The Joker."
the room fell silent as Pisces offered a helping-hand to Charles, offering to pick him up. Mr.Eversten suspiciously yet gratefully accepted the kind act.
"I only know as much about the joker as the next person...but I believe his true alias was...Ophioochos?...no, it was... Ophiuchus!. I'm not completely sure, but rumors had it that Ophiuchus is the owner of this horrible casino..."
Pisces smiled, already knowing this information but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.
"Ahh, wonderful, I see you aren't as pathetic and useless as Capricorn made you out to be!"
Pisces shouted out in glee while he forcefully patted him on the back,causing Eversten to lose balance.
A moment later,A female wearing a elegant black dress with a slit on the right side of her leg,exposing her well designed tattoo ,strutted towards Pisces.
In her hand was a sleek briefcase filled with what Pisces could only assume to be money.
"Aquarius Huedhaut! , You look great!"
Complemented Pisces as Aqua's face was suddenly painted in red.
"You don't have to tell the world Pieces-"
Aqua mentioned before she took notice of Charles , her face turned into a disgusted look as she rudely continued.
"-Why are you gambling with...Charles Eversten?"
Whispered the three of spades as she leaned on Pisces' shoulder.
To which Pisces just shrugged."I was bored...?"
