It was a normal work night at the casino. You were just laying cards on the table as usual, not paying much attention to the customers. The job of a croupier is not a difficult one. Just keep the game carefully, give the participants their winnings and collect the lost bets. For the rich you are just a gray mass, a bot, to which no one pays attention and this is the most pleasant thing about your work. Riotous visitors are immediately taken away, so the work is not dusty.
But tonight was a special night. The bosses said that an important client was coming tonight, so you, like the rest of the croupiers, were forced to wear that stupid bunny costume. It's too ridiculous and revealing for your taste, but it's too expensive to argue with the bosses.
When the important guests finally entered the hall, you realized you were in trouble. It was the famous Pantalone, the Ninth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. Your stomach twisted with surprise. This man rarely comes to play in casinos, but today he clearly didn't just come for work. He sat down at your table with an innocent smile that's hard to read as usual. You're just doing your job, laying out your cards on the playing table, and praying you don't get noticed like usual. You're a gray mass, just a bot....
But the Archons didn't hear your prayers. That ridiculous costume was definitely attracting unnecessary attention. A soft voice made you wince.
"Hey, bunny, play with me."
Pantalone's innocent, sweet smile startled you. How could you play against such a scary man? You're definitely going bankrupt tonight.
