Down the Rabbit Hole: The Royamune All-Hearts Casino and Hotel [Open RP round]

Feb 28, 2010 21:07

The White Rabbit now faced a no-win situation: beat the Black Cat into submission in revenge for his betrayal or run away like a baby Lagomorph. On one hand, he could get the satisfaction of finally doing something in retribution for his fallen Queen but he'd allow the Suits to take Shawn and the Hatter away. And what the hell did Perrault mean by ( Read more... )

Didn't realise you'd posted 'til I'd replied.... det_lassiter March 6 2010, 18:07:38 UTC

It wasn't that Lasietanya wasn't grateful to keep his tooth, it was just that he still had bigger things to consider, like how when they did move up he'd be betting his foot. "Great," he grunted at Shawn sarcastically, "I won't need to puree my carrot later."

He watched as the credit he'd won was slid towards them by the dealer. They needed more and they needed to do a better job of getting it.

"Can you help me out here?" What's the use of a psychic if they're busy... the rabbit looked at him... swimming in trash, aparently, when you needed them?

He's about to ask Shawn exactly what he's been doing when the comments he'd been trying to block out from around the table become even more personal than they had before. He tries to keep his ears from searching out exactly where amongst the laughter the voice came from, but he can't entirely stop the hood from twitching a little.

He doesn't need to pinpoint the voice though, now he's looking he can see exactly who it belongs to. He starts to feel uneasy. He doesn't need this kind of attention drawn to him.

"Shawn, we need to leave, now."

"Why of course, Bunnicula!" the FAKE psychic agreed to, giving him a hint in the form of a none-too-quick peck on the head.

"The mouse-man on the right has been bluffing for a while, his hand's junk. The other bunny with the one ear has a high deal, probably a three-of-a-kind and the guy that looks human has a two-pair."

He recognizes the comedian and shoots a glare at the Knave sitting at the bar. "Ignore him; he's being an ass. I just met him but I think that's his default setting."

det_lassiter March 6 2010, 18:29:35 UTC

Lasietanya had been trying not to look at the lagomorph across the table from him. It made him wince everytime he caught sight of his missing ear, and no rabbit needs that kind of sympathy, they're prouder than that.

"That's great, Spencer." He'd noticed that using the human's second name seemed to annoy him for some reason. "But, we're playing Black Jack. Tell me what the dealer has."

... He looked back over to the Knave, waiting for some scene to begin. "You've spoken to him?"

demon_shawn March 6 2010, 18:41:32 UTC

Shawn scanned the dealer over to see what he had but sneered when he heard the White Rabbit refer to him like Lassiter did back home. "Not very high either, bet your foot and we can move on to the next table," he whispered, closed eyes switching for a second to see the heart of the Egg-man. He's also cracking under the pressure thanks to me pointing out his mistake...He's in hot water already.

"Yeah, real charmer. Probably would've won the Miss Wonderland Pageant."

Eep. sry if I messed up. ashes_ascending March 7 2010, 09:56:49 UTC

The eyebrow Spencer gets in return for that remark might suggest he's not in the best position to be discussing pageants.

The knave isn't going to back down over this. The White Rabbit is well aware of his presence now, so he brazenly moves to the front of the group, eyes fixed on the lagomorph's face under the cowl.

He too can feel that the odds are good for Lasietanya keeping his foot. Surprisingly perhaps, the knave refrains from manipulating the odds in the egg-dealers favour. Had Lasietanya not been with Shawn Spencer... who is somehow fascinating, it would be a whole different story.

It's all right It's gotten fun with the White Rabbit and the Knave duking it out! demon_shawn March 7 2010, 17:51:58 UTC

Then Shawn remembers that HE'S the one in the puffy blue dress.

When the Knave decided to show off how big his balls were and move up, the fake psychic shot him a look that said 'Don't' and he mouth, "If you two have a score to settle, do it AFTER Lasietanya wins this round."

Just to spite them both, the idiot in the dress wrapped his arms around the hooded Lagomorph's neck and whispered "I'll always enjoy your tail though!"

Neat :) Should we have a posting order? ashes_ascending March 7 2010, 18:13:43 UTC

In return, Shawn will now be receiving a 'who me?' sort of flirtatious grin. ..A grin which almost turns into an envious glare when Spencer's arms slide around Lasietanya's neck that way.

Paradiesvogel covers it with an eyeroll. But he stays back. They so obviously are going to be needing plenty of funds for whatever it is they're up to. Whatever he thinks of the lagomorph, the knave knows he's not a fool and wouldn't be betting his bits for pure recreation. Fine. Let El Bunny Blanco win his hand. The knave is now very curious about the whole situation.

~Gah!!! That's what I get for leaving the reply window open for half an hour!!! Will be back, but now a friend has called.....

Re: ooc demon_shawn March 7 2010, 18:43:25 UTC

I was cleaning so it's all right

Re: ooc ashes_ascended March 7 2010, 19:30:47 UTC

lol! Curse you, LJ ;)

As for the posting order, does -Shawn: White Rabbit: Knave- work for you guys?

Re: ooc demon_shawn March 7 2010, 19:46:52 UTC

Works for me!

We should and sorry I took so long to reply, cleaning! demon_shawn March 7 2010, 18:46:44 UTC

The Eggie dealer hand is 17 and Shawn bides his breath in anticipation. Lasietanya has an 18 so if he gets anything above a 3, someone will gain a lucky Rabbit's foot.

Sorry! Last night got a bit crazy XD det_lassiter March 8 2010, 07:08:42 UTC

It was bad enough that Shawn decided that now was a good time to start hanging around his neck, the last thing Lasietanya needed to think about right now was Shawn even touching his tail. The thought made him... Shudder. That was it, that feeling was definitely a shudder, nothing else...

Losing his foot in front of the knave would be a massive embarassment. He couldn't back down, though, he couldn't appear to be a coward. Lagomorphs don't lose face.

Shoving Shawn away with a firm hand squarely on his chest, the rabbit tapped the table with his fingertips, signaling for the dealer to lay down another card. "Twist," he nodded stoically.

NP <3 ashes_ascending March 8 2010, 15:05:38 UTC

Card games are much harder to sway that roulette or dice anyway. The Knave already knows the lagomorph's liddle piggys's are probably quite safe, but he's enjoying the White Rabbit's tension.

The dealer throws Lasietanya the three of hearts, which generates a smirk from Paradiesvogel. How amusingly ironic.

demon_shawn March 8 2010, 19:19:52 UTC

The sheer surprise on the White Rabbit's face made Shawn all the more happy yet cautious. With the money he won, Lasietanya could move up to the dreaded high-stakes tables and Shawn will have to put up his heart, just as he promised.

The winning card's meaning eluded the fake psychic as they got their winnings so he shot a beaming smile of gratitude to Paradiesvogel before fixing his dress and headed for the table. "Excuse me sir, but I wish to put my heart of this pot," he stated loud enough for both the Knave and the White Rabbit to hear.

det_lassiter March 9 2010, 14:02:31 UTC

He's exchanging a glare with Paradiesvogel when Shawn decides to flounce off. It's not until the loud declaration echos around the casino and the whole place falls silent that Lasietanya realises that he's even gone.

"Damn." He tears his gaze away from the man opposite him and hurries to Shawn's side.
