You wanna guess how long it took for The Devil to lose patience?
A reasonable person would have probably lasted 1 hour, maybe 2.
The Devil lasted exactly 5 minutes and 27 seconds, even with booze and his flunkies joking and teasing Dice.
Something must have snapped in The Devil when Dice said the word standardization, that's the first time I considered this may not have been a great idea.
The Devils stands up, his tail lashing dangerously behind him, the room fills with a terrifying aura.
His goons stand and desperately try to calm him down, they clearly fear for more than their jobs.
The Devil tears his attention from me and Dice and he turns and faces the other demons in the room.
"Get out" he growls
They all scamper out and The Devil watches them until the last one had left and slammed the door.
He readjusts his gaze to us, his eyes showing a feral glare, he wants us to pay.
Dice positions himself in front of me, I should be scared but what else do I have to lose.
I move beside him, I'm taking blame for this.
"Real funny, but I think you've forgotten how this casino runs. You see I mess with people and they get annoyed maybe mad but they normally have enough common sense to realize the power dynamic, and if they don't, they die." The Devil snarls
Dice and I stand our ground, The Devil doesn't seem impressed.
"What? No quivering in fear Y/n? No, flinching at my slightest movement? Careful, you wouldn't want to get boring" The Devil says
"I think I proved today just how interesting I am, or was your attention span too short to notice?" I spit
"Ohh, how cute, so you are claiming responsibility then? You take full blame?" The Devil asks
"No, sh-" Dice says but I cut him off
"Sure, I came up with the idea, I found your weaknesses and acted on them" I reply
"Well then, I guess you'll be getting the punishment then" The Devil snarls
Dice moves to push me behind him but The Devil is faster. I feel claws digging into my wrist and then falling, I hit a floor.
"Bowing, won't save you from your fate Y/n" The Devil laughs
I quickly stand and brush myself off, I'm in The Devil's throne room, he's on the throne, we are alone.
He snaps his fingers and I hear the doors lock behind me, I stand confidently in front of him.
"Now that we won't have any distractions, I want to know, what we're you thinking? Did you think that would be funny? Righteous justice perhaps? I had thought Dice was smart enough to not pull stuff like that." The Devil says
"It was my idea" I reply simply
"That doesn't answer my question, you really don't want to make me any angrier Y/n" The Devil spits
"I guess I thought It'd be pretty funny, see how big your ego really is" I reply
The Devil's eyes flicker a scarlet red, he stares at me and I meet his gaze, neither of us move.
"What do you stand to gain from all this?" He asks
"I have nothing to lose, you took everything from me, if I can spend the last few weeks of my life making you a life a little worse, I'd call that a success" I reply
