Within the casino walls there was something for everyone
Laughter and tears, thrill and regret.
Everyone in the casino has felt those feelings.
However what's most important in a casino is of course
Gambling
The staff and the boss himself
All gathered together to
Count their losses and figure out
How to move on from it
Devil: "I've called you all here to discuss how we're going to get those souls back. If there's any information about them say it now"
Whisky: "seems like Mr. Flower works with some moonshiners. It's pretty good but I prefer the real deal"
Scotch: "they have that bee working with them. We shouldn't seek legal help to take them down"
Martini: "he's also taken up the ghost from the train as his sweetheart. He's getting suspicious that he's up to something."
Chips: "he's bound to find out Cagney's in a mob sooner or later. He can't lie to the ghost but he can't exactly fold ethier. Tight spot if you ask me."
???: (quietly): "that's what he said"
Dot: "are you saying we should turn them on each other?"
Dice: "as always it's a gamble but it's certainly an option."
Pip: "wow.. One minute they fall in love the next they fall down"
Mr wheezy: "just like chips's 50 girlfriends he's supposedly saved"
He lights a cigar
Chips: "it's gonna fall apart like you if you don't quit yer smokin' addiction"
Dice: "enough you two..."
Hocus: "if we play our cards right we could convince that ghost to do something... Kehehe... Surprising... In the name of " justice". The light and king card told me this would most definitely work"
Pip: "a gut instinct isn't two made up people you know..."
Pirouletta: "wow everyone is ready to bet all their chips?"
Mangosteen: "she's right! Our plan isn't solid it's full of stripes! We might aim wrong and pot the eight ball to early!"
Phear lap: "Their relationship is like a horse who can't run! We can just wait til it fails and get their souls while they're emotionally damaged"
Mr wheezy: "they could turn to an addiction instead or get over it"
Pachinko: "a letter..."
The small Panchinko machine rarely spoke. Some forgot he was part of the staff. It caught almost everyone off guard
Pachi: "we could um...inform Spector about Cagney's crimes and wrong doings. He'd probably get really really mad. A fight would insue. We could convince them indirectly another debtor spilled the beans. Maybe rumor... It's in her name after all... If that doesn't work then we could always lure them into the casino when they need the thrill of gambling. They'd lose some game and we get the soul"
Devil: "a plan with backup plans then?"
Dice: "much less risk"
Pirouetta: "Panchinko you should share your ideas more that was really smart!"
Phear lap: "ghost goes after the flower and flower goes after the be... Interesting"
Mr. Wheezy: "I was hoping to gamble with some lives today though..."
Chips: "if yer wanna go and gamble play the slots"
Mangosteen: "or against him! He's probably smart enough to beat you!"
Mangosteen points to panchinko. Panchinko, not wanting trouble waves his hands quickly to indicate he doesn't want to gamble. He was too nervous to speak
Scotch: "so then who's writing it down?"
Panchinko: "I will... Just tell me wh-what to put down"
Dice: "we'll get it written later panchinko."
Devil: "thipsy troop will keep watch of the mob Cagney is in on. Keep records or their crimes. Evidence too. Chips, you'll occupy rumor and see what she's covered up for that mob. Panchinko you'll get friendly with Spector to see what we can exploit. Hocus you'll get closer to the carnival debtors. The rest of you will stay in the casino. With that this meeting is over. Back to work"
Everyone left the room. When it cleared out only dice and devil remained. Devil's professional look disappeared and he showed his true self. He looked stressed out. Several debtors got off Scot free. No way was he ok
Devil: "even though it's the best plan we have there's still room to fail... We can't have those cups finding out"
Dice: "boss, you're a gambler. What's the point if there's no risk?"
Devil: "we're playing with bigger steaks now."
Dice: "what's there to loose? Their trust? We've already lost that long ago"
Devil: "souls..."
Dice: "we'll get them back. That's what we're doing now isn't it?"
Devil: "we have two our of 21..."
Dice: "what of it? If we move to fast we'll falter. Don't tell me you're going chicken on us"
Devil: "I'm not it's just"
Dice: "you're stressed. That's alright. I'll take care of the casino you relax"
Devil: "And if I can't?"
Dice: "I'll beat your ass!"
The two laugh
Devil: "pfft! Don't make me laugh!"
Dice: "you're already laughing!"
Devil: "the same guy who can't pick a movie on date night will beat my ass?"
Dice: "and the guy who sleeps with a stuffed animal is gonna defeat me?"
(They're teasing each other)
Devil: *gasps* "his name is Timmy and he is our son!"
Dice: "I never agreed to a child!"
Devil: "you better accept Timmy or I'm getting a divorce"
They're being over dramatic like it's a soap opera
Dice: *poses dramatically* "you can take the kid but you can't take back the love I gave you!"
Devil: "well I'm keeping the house!"
Dice: (on his knees) "not the house!"
At that moment pachino opened the door. The three froze for a moment not knowing what to do
Panchinko: "I.. Uh.. Sorry... I must be hallucinating...drunk maybe?"
He ran off.
Dice gets up and brushes himself off.
Devil is laughing hysterically.
