Leans in, breath hot Need you for the old switcheroo, hon. Big payoff.
Why me though, why not go to our old boss? Or any other gang in this city? I mean, besides yours, all the other gangs hate my guts, and rightly so! And our old boss? That bastard wouldn't hesitate to hang me from the highest tower he can find if he even knew I was alive! And you think I'd betray my fellow gang members just like that? For you... it's worth it.
Look, it ain't gonna be easy, but we need someone quick and dirty. Someone who knows the ins and outs of this city like the back of their hand.
Worth it? How much money we talking here, Velvet? Enough to convince me to play Judas?
Smirks and pulls out a briefcase full of cash This, darling, is why they call me the Velvet Roulette.
oh my....sits down, how much more where that came from?
Slides the briefcase towards Pearson Double what you're owed, baby. Plus expenses. Now, let's talk details. You in or what?
Of course im in. What do you need from me?
Grins devilishly Glad to hear it, sweetheart. Alright, here's the plan.
Claps hands together Alright, listen up, sweetheart. We're gonna hit the biggest casino in town, "The Diamond Vault".
gulps, then looks up that place is impossible to crack. Nothing has been taken from it in the past 8 years. The rumors say its even more heavily guarded than Fort Knox.
chuckles Baby, that's what makes it so damn exciting. You know I love a challenge.
alright, ill bite. whats the plan then?
leans forward, eyes gleaming with excitement Here's the deal, sugar. We're gonna infiltrate the Diamond Vault by posing as high-rolling gamblers.
Right....I'd love to see you try to charm your way into that place without a few hundred grand to gamble with. Theyd see right through us. If i had to guess, the only ones that have done it without that sort of gamble are perhaps us, and your dad. The old man has rigged dice that look exactly like normal ones, but lets just say....theyre weighted in his favor.
<Velvet and Pearson devise a plan to steal the rigged dice from Velvet's father>
there ya go. My half of the cut will be waiting for ya at our drop spot.....which by the way, we need to change. My brothers and sisters have been asking me where i've been hiding from them. Hell, i almost had to fake my own death to get away from them....theyre looking for us. You wouldn't happen to know any abandoned buildings in New Haven that im not aware of, would ya?
Nods, pulling out a map Yeah, I've got just the place. It's an old warehouse on the outskirts of town. Should be perfect for our little meet-up.
Great, that should work....now, remind me, what's our story? Im pretty sure i already know, but its always good to confirm.
rolls her eyes dramatically Come on, Pearson, don't make me repeat myself. We're rich socialites looking to make some big bets tonight.
Right.....rich socialites huh? Nah im good. Plus, as i said.....i barely have any connections left in this city....and all those that i do have know better than to mess with the son of Malachai everytime i use his name.
grinning mischievously Baby, I've got connections coming out of my damn pores! Trust me, I'll make sure we're treated like royalty tonight.
....well then......it should be....fun.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Fun? Sweetheart, this is going to be one hell of a ride.
alright....any other details you need to fill me in on?
tapping her finger against her chin Well, sugar, let's see...we'll need some fancy duds to fit the part, of course.
