[Clubs Deuce ♣ Accidental Video ♣ 007]

[deuceofclubs]

[The feed switches on right as an explosion is going off nearby. Debris flies everywhere, and a positively giddy Deuce's hat is seen flying off as the pressure wave spreads out. When the dust has settled, a large chunk of wall is missing. Next to the missing piece of wall is a door, slightly unhinged. There are similar doors all along the area he's

[Okay, so he was about to explode with glee here (or evil cackling as he imagines all the horrible things he's going to do, same thing) until he realizes Deuce just put on the ring. He is wearing the fucking Black Queen's ring. Clubs Deuce is now powerful enough to destroy entire planets.

This was not part of his plan.]

What the hell are you doing?! Deuce, take that ring off right now! You're not supposed to use that!

[Deuce is so shocked to see Jack that he nearly drops the 'berry. But fortunately he manages to catch it before it falls hundreds of feet to the filthy ground below him.]

[deuceofclubs]

Oh. Um.

[He looks away from the 'berry.]

Well. I'm going to give it back. I just -

[deuceofclubs]

[Suddenly, he seems to have an epiphany.]

Oh! I just thought it would be a good idea to put it on because it's not safe around here and if someone attacked me they could have taken the ring if I wasn't wearing it! [Yes, that was totally the reason. And not at all because he thought it looked like it would be fun.]

[ascendtoace]

[There is a long, doubtful stare here. I mean come on Deuce. Since when do you have good ideas?]

...You have a point. Fine, but you're coming straight to me. Try not to blow up the whole city, while you're at it.

And don't even THINK about listening to that spectacled Earth girl or any of her friends.

[Deuce gives the camera a long look, before shifting his gaze back and forth from the 'berry to everywhere else but the 'berry.

Since he definitely hasn't already made a promise to Jade yet or anything.]

Okay... Um. I'll definitely try not to blow up the whole city!

[ascendtoace]

I know how to scroll up, you dimwit. [b-b-b-busted.]

The Witch is my enemy, and that makes her your enemy. She's only telling you to hold onto the ring because she's probably making some plan to steal it again. Don't listen to her.

[video]

[deuceofclubs]

...Oh. [Curses! And he thought he was being oh so very crafty, too!]

But she seems so nice! Why would she want to steal the ring back?

[video]

[ascendtoace]

Because she's from Prospit's moon. She's a player, it's her damn job to fuck up my plans, just like it's mine to take her out--and I plan to win this game, not get fucked over while stuck in some facility.

That's an order, Deuce. If I can't trust you with a simple thing like not taking suggestions from the enemy, I'm sure as hell not letting you anywhere NEAR my ring ever again.

[Why yes, he might be offering a compromise here. Or at least suggesting he might possibly offer one.]

[video]

[deuceofclubs]

[Deuce is silent for a long while. He's so confused. That was an order but at the same time he made a promise and promises are really important too!]

But... [Orders were orders. He doesn't seem very happy about this, though.]

Okaaaay.

[video]

[ascendtoace]

Ugh, don't give me that face. You shouldn't just listen to whoever the hell tells you what to do.

[but to be fair he has a secret debt to Dave that he still needs to repay, but at least he's a bit more private about all of that.]

[video]

[deuceofclubs]

I don't listen to just anyone! I mean, it's not like she gave me an order!

She asked me to make a promise. It's different!

[video]

[ascendtoace]

Then break it. Problem solved.

[video]

[deuceofclubs]

Bu-but... you're not supposed to break promises!

[video]

[ascendtoace]

And you're not supposed to be making promises to the Witch of Space. That's an order.

[video]

[deuceofclubs]

Okay, I won't make any more promises to her!
