[RECAP]:
The man then helped you up, giving your suitcase to you. You then looked up to meet his face, a common die as his head. "Holy...." You looked in awe and confusion at him. The man's emerald eyes setting off all the purple he was wearing. "You look new Darlin', my name is King Dice. Welcome to Inkwell Isle..."

King Dice:

The awestruck woman continued to examine my head, mesmerized by my eyes. I crack my usual smile, she quickly snaps back to reality, I offer her my hand and she takes it. "So Ms.....?" Her eyebrows shoot up, realizing she never introduced herself. "O...oh- uh. (Y/n), my name is (Y/n) (L/n)." Her face flushed, looking away. "Sorry for staring, I'm still getting use to all the new.  .  . Changes." I chuckle, bringing her hand to my lips, lightly kissing them before letting it drop back to her side. "It's perfectly fine, I don't mind the attention." She stutters, trying to find a reply. "Well, sorry to cut this short Ms. (L/n) but I have some business to attend to, if you don't mind." I pull out a card, handing it to her. "Call me if you have the chance, I'd love to get to know you better." I give her a wink before walking down the paved road, towards the Docks...

(Y/n) (L/n):

A small smile made it's way into my flustered face as I analyzed the card. It was black with golden writing, I quickly noticed the two recognisable symbols from a deck of cards: Heart and Diamonds. My smile was no longer present, as a frown replaced it. Nostalgic memories.... I pocketed the card, grabbed my luggage with my other hand, and continued on a search for my apartment building. I curse under my breath, 'I should have asked him for directions...' this was going to be a long day...

As I finally went up the last few steps to my apartment and unlocked the door, I looked out the window to see the sun starting to set. 'Did it seriously take me that long to get here?!?!' I huffed in annoyance, closing my apartment door. I set my suitcases aside and looked around, 'Good thing I got some movers to get my furniture into the house before I arrived, or today would be even more of a nightmare.' I though to myself, throwing myself onto the couch.... only to land on a broken spring.

King Dice:

After collecting the debts for today, I started my walk off of the docks and to the Devil's Casino. As I was walking, I began to absent-mindedly hum a tune. The sun was beginning to set, It was quite admirable as the colors started to bleed into a dark blue, this was why I didn't teleport back. Watching the beautiful sunset morph into the twinkling night was calming. I sighed, ripping my eyes away from the sky and finally teleported back to the casino. The overwhelming smell of cigars and alcohol filling my senses, causing my nose to have the usual irritating itch. The cheers of the winners were causing a slight migraine. "Alright, alright. It's almost closin' time! This is the last round of games for the night!" I called out to the patrons, fixing my suit. I then went ahead and started making my way to the Devil's office, contracts in my gloved hand... 'After this, I definitely need some sleep...' I though to myself, using my free hand to rub one of my eyes.
