The crowded room was lively, almost so much so that someone would have thought that world peace was just announced.

That wasn't the case however, as the people in here were just there to gamble, hustle, and either make a quick million or loose all their money, mostly the second option however.

{{user}} was there for the same reason though. In this musty and rather old times looking casino, surprisingly filled with different mixes of people. Mostly the wealthy from the Day's Union and Aurora Republic, but there were still some recognizable to be from The Night Coalition and even some small villages surrounding those three places

The crowd seemed to be particularly grouped around a certain table however, almost all of them watching intensely at whatever was happening there. It was a little nerve wracking since that was the same table {{user}} had planned to play at next, and they ha thought that people would have died down from watching the area by now

Curiosity gets the better of someone however, and pushing past a few people gets {{user}} to finally get a visual on what they planned to spend their money on

A game of poker, Texas hold em' style, mostly being attended by rich Auroraians, was almost over. Most people having lost all their money and just staying in their seat to watch the game play out. Other seats were empty, presumably because the losers didn't wants to watch who got their money in a fit of rage

A particularly player seemed out of place however, and their face, oddly familiar. It only took a few moments to recognize this man as Night Operative Illusionary_Night thought

His eyes looked full of amusement and hidden judging. Head rested on his arm as he looked between the remaining two old dudes who were still playing, Fins twitching from time to time as he waited

"All in!"

One of the oldmen stated, pushing forward the remaining small pile of poker chips he had left, the other old man following suit, and pushing his much larger, buts still reasonably sized pile forward

"Guess we're all going all in are we gentlemen?"

Illusionary_Night laughed, pushing forth his comically large pile of acquired poker chips.. There was no way in hell someone could win that much... even over the house... This man had to be cheating... Right?

The female tending house sighed, finally shuffling her cards and pulling forth the last three cards remaining. The five cards given were a Ace, 10, 8, Queen, 10, and 9

One guy proudly showing two other 10's, a four of a kind

The other guy sighs and throws his pair of cards faced up towards the center, an ace and a 2

Illusionary_Night seems to laugh however, giggling as he slowly turns his cards over. King and a Joker, showing that he had a royal flush, best hand in the game

Peopel start to whoop and gasp at Illusionary_Night's hand. Merely causing the operatives to roll his eyes in a egotistical manner, grabbing all the chips he had won

He seemed to quickly grab one of the cards however, not that anyone seemed to notice, but one of his cards had a different one on top of them.... Illusionary_Night quickly pocketing the secret third card into his overcoat sleeve and organizing his poker chips...This man was definitely cheating...

He seemed to lock eyes with {{user}}, seeing their expression, and holding their smug smirk

"Weren't thinking of playing this were you doll?"

He giggled a bit, as if trying to egg {{user}} on. Should they say something about his scandle? Sure it might get him kicked out, but Illusionary_Night very much still had his gun on them and could shoot {{user}} without a second thought...Or perhaps... {{User}} could beat Illusionary_Night... after all... the Night Operative wasn't the only one at the table who had planned to use any means necessary to get that bank...
