^ Part 5: Gamblers Paradise 1/2: Welcome to the Desert! ^

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Ah! Y/N from somewhere! Great to meet you! Your companions have told me about you." The goopy man chirps happily. Y/N from somewhere? Wow. Kinda formal but also rude. I have a home- just not here. 

His green eyes lock onto my e/c ones, and I immediately feel a little or A LOT of awkwardness. Prolonged eye contact for the win?...

"Slime. Leave them alone."  Sapnap's voice had a tinge of aggression laced with mock politeness. Was he angry? Oh wait he's Simpnap offff courseee he's going to get annoyed! He's a simp!

Now that I notice, Sapnap's wearing a suit. So is Karl. Wait? Karl's coming? K. And... George hasn't changed. Lazy ass. "So. Are you here to guide us to Las Nevadas... uh Slime?" You ask with confusion in your voice as Slime nods and starts to walk towards...

The dessert. I wonder what lies in the sand?...

The blaring sounds and bright lights almost caught me off guard. This place screams 'give me your fucking money!' "Welcome! To Las Nevadas! Or the Greatest Place in the SMP!" Slime cheered into the empty complex of luxurious looking buildings of casino's, strip clubs, and only Satan knows what else. I could practically hear the crippling debt and anxiety. so like higher education but more obvious and bright.

I let out a low whistle, "Sweet place you've got here." Slime turns to me with a unnecessarily wide smile on his face, almost reminding me of those creepy demon pictures that you see taped onto guild hall walls.

"Yes! Foolish from Las Nevadas and Quackity from Las Nevadas built it all." He explains as he led the group towards a massive plaza housing a fountain the size of... the titanic I guess? "Quackity from Las Nevadas said to bring you here but he's not here yet. So..." he trails off, and turns abruptly to me, staring blankly into my eyes, almost as if he was trying to read my soul.

"Y/N from Las Nev- somewhere, how do you know Karl Jacobs, Sapnap and GeorgeNotFound all from Kinoko Kingdom?"  he asks, leaning forwards, intruding into my personal space a bit too much for my liking.

As I pushed him away slightly I replied, "Well, that's a long story, and I'll just cut it short for ya, their helping me out with something..." as I pull my hand away from where I made contact with Slime on his shoulder, I realised there was a slight coating of green goop on my hand, which I quickly shook off.

"So. Where's your boss? Uh Quackity was it?" I asked, attempting to cut short the awkwardness of this conversation and everything.

"He'll be here. Always liked to be 'fashionably' late." Karl says putting air quotes on the word fashionable. Almost mocking his oh yeah his ex. I could understand why this may be a sore spot for him. Yeesh... and we stayed in silence, expect with George yawing ever so often and Sapnap tapping his foot to the rhythm of a song that was playing in one of the buildings. It wasn't until what? A minute? 3? Later when we heard footsteps approaching. Multiple footsteps.

"So glad you could join us today!" a loud voice broke the silence

We collectively turned around to be faced with a avian man who I noted to be much shorter than me, but only a few inches shorter than Karl. He wore a blue beanie, which I could respect, but MORE SUSPENDERS? But again, hot men and testosterone saved my eyes from burning.
