huddled together, sharing mischievous looks as they eye the user with a blend of pity and glee Ha! Gotcha, s-sugar! Sorry, not sorry! That's how the game g-goes!
WHAT THE HELL? HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU GUYS WOULD CHEAT? THIS GAME'S RIGGED AND YOU LOST EVERY HAND WITH ME BUT NOW ALL MY MONEY'S GONE? NOOOOO!
brashly interrupting while laughing heartily Rigged, honey? Cheating? N-no way! You're just mad 'cause you c-couldn't handle our skills! S-suck it up, buttercup! user glares at them, and the sirens exchange smirks
THAT CHEAT CODE ACTIVATION!!
piping up with snickers Che-?! Che-?! Darling, don't point those accusing fingers at us! We didn't need no cheat codes to whoop your butt! winks at the other sirens We got talent, sugar, and we play to win! Now, quit yer whining and face the facts!
Fine... just take the money and leave already...
cackling with gleeful malice Awe, don't be so hard on yourself, loser! And what's this? Are you actually allowing us to leave without putting up a fight? How predictable! We were hoping for a little more spirit from you, but I guess we'll just have to settle for the victory.
Just don't rub it in my face... Okay? Can we start over or... Can I watch you guys play? Maybe learn from the best or something?
smirking devilishly, exchanging glances before turning back to SkyBlueChill Well, well, well, s-sugar! Maybe, just maybe, we'll consider letting you watch us play. But first, you gotta prove to us that you've got what it takes! A little wager, perhaps? A challenge to test your skills against ours?
What do you suggest then? Or is it just 'loser gets humiliated' type thing?
chuckles darkly, leaning in close to SkyBlueChill Oh, sweetie, you're nothing if not entertaining! But let's raise the stakes just a tad! How about... If you win, we'll double your money and give you a VIP pass to our next game. But if we win... well, you'll owe us a favor. Anything we want, no questions asked. Deal? They hold out their hands expectantly
We'll each take turns drawing cards from the deck, and the one with the highest hand wins. Winner takes all, loser pays the bill. Simple enough, right? But we'll throw in a few extra surprises to keep things interesting. Ready to dance with the devil, sweetheart?
snapping their fingers and clicking their tongues Alright, sweetheart, prepare yourself for a wild ride! First round of betting, ante up! Five chips for you, ten chips for us. Don't worry, darling, there's plenty more where that came from! Now, let's see what Lady Luck has in store for us. deals the first round of cards SkyBlueChill, you're up! Show us what you've got!
She stares at her hand for a moment before she throws it down on the table. This is how you want me to play? Fine.
eyes widen in surprise, whispers of excitement Well, isn't this a turn of events! Looks like the underdog wants to bite back! leans forward, eyes fixed on SkyBlueChill's hand Let's see if you can handle the heat, sweetheart! reveals their own hand, flaunting a Royal Flush Behold, the ace of spades, our ticket to victory!
She scoffs as she pockets her cards. T-Tied. Your move.
bursts into laughter, slapping their knee T-tied, huh? Oh, sweetheart, you're sharper than we thought! But don't you worry, we've got some tricks up our sleeves too! shuffles the deck with lightning speed, dealing a new set of cards Round two, here we go! Another five chips for you, ten chips for us. Now show us what you're made of, darling! grins wickedly
<After several rounds, SkyBlueChill loses the game and owes the Sirens of Sin City a favor>
Great... So what's my favor?
exchanging glances and grinning mischievously Oh, sweetheart, don't you worry! Your favor will be a piece of cake for someone as talented as yourself. All we need you to do is steal the diamond necklace from the mayor's mansion. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Just waltz right in, grab the necklace, and be back before anyone notices. How does that sound?
Sounds great.... So, why should I trust you?
the sirens burst into raucous laughter, slapping their thighs Trust us? Sweetheart, trust is earned, not freely given! But we promise you this, once you complete this little task for us, you'll have a favor you can cash in whenever you want. And who knows? Maybe we'll even become friends! Now, what do you say, SkyBlueChill? Are you up for a little adventure?
Okay... I'll do it. Just tell me everything I need to know about this place.
leaning in close, their voice dropping to a low whisper Alright, listen up, sweetheart. The mayor's mansion is heavily guarded, with traps and alarms set up all over the place. But don't worry, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves to make things easier for you. First, you'll need to wait until midnight when the guards change shifts.
I'm down... I mean, it wouldn't be any fun otherwise. Midnight, got it.
quickly pulls out a blueprint of the mansion and slides it across the table Here's the layout, darling. You see those corridors leading to the east wing?
snapping their fingers and clicking their tongues Perfect! Those corridors are where you'll find the security cameras.
Of course... Okay... I'm getting ahead of myself here. So, security cameras in the east wing, got it. What about the main vault? Is that somewhere in the same wing or...?
grinning slyly Ah, now that's where the real fun begins, sweetheart! The main vault? It's hidden in the secret basement beneath the east wing, tucked away behind a bookshelf. But here's the catch, darling - there's a laser grid protecting it, and stepping within range triggers an alarm that alerts the whole damn city!
Fun indeed.... So, what's the plan?
slapping their knee excitedly Oh, sweetheart, buckle up! We're gonna need all your tricks for this one! First, you'll need to disable those lasers. Lucky for you, we happen to know a guy who has just the tool for the job. Meet us at the old abandoned warehouse on 5th Street at 11 pm sharp.
Wait, wait, wait! You want me to meet you at 11 pm? But I have to break into the mansion by midnight!
holding up their hands defensively Oh, sweetie, calm down! We've got a little detour for you first!
Detour?! What kind of detour?!
<During the detour, SkyBlueChill gets captured by a rival gang and tied up in an abandoned warehouse>
