Soul gasped as he flung to his side spitting water from his throat, he coughed aggressively and sat up quickly.
His hands ran through the sand as he looked up to the cliff where Dream had pushed him.
God how long had he been outā¦
He stood weakly and looked at his surroundings, he was in a desert.
He groaned.
What the hell Dream. Why the fuck would you give yourself up like that?
Sand swished behind him and he tensed āyo manā¦you doing alright?ā
Soul turned and looked at the man who stood there obviously confused, his black hair tucked into a beanie and a scar across one pale eye.147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”dFfARwURk4
Then he noticed it, a huge ass sign that read āLas Nevadasā the man cocked his head to the side and positioned a hand on his hip.
"You're a long ways from Pogtopiaā¦"
Soul frowned looking at him "who are you?" He snapped, The man blinked taken aback.
"No need to be rude. The name is Quackity, I'm basically the founder of this place" he said with a scowl, Soul returned it.
"Why- what's your deal? How did you even end up here?"
Soul sighed and walked past him.
"Oh trust me, i definitely didn't plan it that's for sure" he retorted, Quackity ran after him.
"Hey! You can't just go waltzing into uncharted territory!That's how you get yourself killed! " Quackity yelled after him.
Soul stopped and jabbed his finger against the man's chest "maybe. I want to be killed. And maybe- you need to mind your business. " he sneered, Quackity's eye twitched and he shoved him back a little bit.
"What the hell is your deal man?" He growled, Soul rolled his eyes and turned away.
"Again. Mind your business"
Quackity blinked "this is my empire, don't come waltzing in here being an ass hole just because someone tried to help you!"
Soul froze and Dream's grin popped into his mind, his eyes softened and he sighed.
He betrayed you. Used you. He pushed you off that cliff hoping you would die. Do you really like criminals like that?
"You okay dudeā¦ ? You look like you went through a lotā¦ "
Soul scratched the back of his neck, his head throbbing and turned towards him "I'm fineā¦ I just- I guess this is what I get for trusting a criminal"
The man frowned "a criminal?"
Annoyance flashed across his features.
"Yeah, you know, like someone who killed millions and got put in jail. "
Quackity shot him a look.
"I know what a criminal is."
Soul shrugged.
Forget him, he was just a puppy crush. It's time for you to forget feelings.
"You know what. How about you join me at my casino and we play a round of cardsā¦ " quackity suggested, Soul sighed.
"I don't really know much about cardsā¦ "
Quackity smiled and linked his arm through Soul's "that's āight, you wouldn't be able to beat me anyways, fate always lands in my favor" he bragged, Soul rolled his eyes. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”vzHeGVQeCF
"Soā¦ how did you end up all the way out here?" Quackity asked as he shuffled a deck of cards, the music around him boomed as laughter and the sounds of chips hitting tables filled the room around him.
He fidgeted with the black tie around his neck, Quackity had given him a change of clothes since he was sopping wet when they first met- said he looked good in Royal Blue.
"Does it have anything to do with the criminal you brought up?"
Soul sighed as Quackity dealed.
"Something like thatā¦ "
"Do you mind if I ask what happened?"
Yes.
"Noā¦ " he paused and picked up his cards.
His mind went foggy.
What was he supposed to say?
You sided with a criminal, ran away- he said he was running from George and Sapnap. He was lyingā¦
Yet you still ran because you didn't know what you were doing. You got a crush, he let you get close and then betrayed you by pushing you off a cliff.
He was siding with George and Sapnap the whole time.
You were just a puppet. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”114whfCPqq
Quackity stared, "no wayā¦ that's fucked up" he said with a sigh, Soul shrugged and placed a jack above Quackity's five of hearts.
Quackity's eyebrows furrowed.
"So what about this placeā¦ ? " Soul asked, breaking the silence, Quackity smiled.
"Glad you asked, this is Las Nevadas, it's basically a city of entertainment. Nightclubs, casinos, barsā¦ you name it. "
Soul nodded, "Do you live here?"
"Eh, currently yes, I used to live in Lāmanberg thoughā¦ until it was blown up" he scowled.
"Lāma-"
"WILBUR NO! YOU CAN'T JUST COME IN HERE UNANNOUNCED! QUACKITY'S BUSY ANYWAYS!"
Soul flinched and Quackity stiffened with a sigh before leaning over and looking past Soul.
Wilbur was stalking towards them and Soul raised an eyebrow, he recognized the guy who he met in Pogtopia with the crazy child.
"Wilbur- what are you doing here?"
Wilbur smirked "I need to talk to you"
Quackity sighed and Wilbur glanced over at Soul, confusion on his face clear as day.
"I'll be backā¦ " Quackity groaned and he let Wilbur drag him away. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”7WDgY0nzvC
Soul sat silently at the table and drew circles on the velvet red cloth, ignoring the loud environment around him he slipped into a small dark space.
Soulā¦
He flinched.
"Hiā¦ "
How do you feel?
"How am I supposed to feel? I can't really remember anything correctlyā¦ I don't even believe my own thoughts"
It was quiet.
Tell you what, I'll make you a deal.
He nodded.
I will take over for a bit and give you a breakā¦ but only a little bit of take over. Not fully. In exchange you can have my emotions, since youāre still having a hard time gaining control and my emotions are easier to controlā¦deal?
He sighed and rubbed his eyes, his forehead was throbbing.
āWhat exactly do you mean easier to control?ā147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”d8LXu42wIp
Just trust me
āSays the one who has done nothing to help me in the last three days ive been here, how should I know I can trust you?ā 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”Os0QENFHGx
The goddess sighed.
You canāt.
Soul frowned and looked around at the Casino, he was lucky people were too trashed to notice him talking to himself.
āFine.ā
Fine youāll take the deal?
āMhmā
The goddess giggled in glee.
Perfect! Now this might feel weird- but soon youāll be in a sleep like slumber.
He shrugged and a tingling sensation ran through his body, he gasped, his eye flashing red before returning to normal.
He exhaled.
āWellā¦it's been a long time since I was last in a bodyā he mumbled, the chair in front of him scooted away and Quackity sat down with an exhausted sigh. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”qpcxQb5l5Z
āSorry bout that, Wilbur can be so annoyingā 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”L7E95350z0
Soul chewed his lip āitās fineā he replied, Quackity nodded. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”wSt4srenrG
āWanna finish this round of cards?ā 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”jAsjWaFFce
Soul smirked āsure, why notā Quackity nodded ignoring the smirk as he pulled his deck from his pocket and placed down and 8 of spades.
āIf you want you can stay here in Las Nevadas for a bitā Quackity said breaking the silence, Soul shifted in his seat.
āYou sure?ā 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”urH8IFgJZM
āYupā he said, accentuating the āpā at the end. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”VZm0KJf3at
āIght coolā¦ā he sighed, placing a 2 of spades on top of Quackityās 8 taking the stack to his side, Quackity scowled. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”IQZekgdN6C
He was way too close to beating him. No one ever beat him. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”BlboFnFWCG
āSo uh- have you been to Lāmanberg yet?ā 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”9y05TuXpMA
Soul shrugged āfor a split second, my anxiety got the better of me thoughā¦im honestly shocked im even surviving hereā he explained nonchalantly, Quackity eyed him. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”eSmsKy0NpD
āNot a fan of big crowds?ā 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”m9V9q0jTal
Soul nodded and placed an ace on Quackityās 3 of diamonds. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”G3cFyHKFZA
āI winā 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”xA3g13efS3
Quackity stiffened āno wayā he chuckled lightly āno one ever winsā¦ā he looked at Soul skeptically āyou cheatedā he spat his eyes narrowing, Soul leaned back in his chair and smirked looking Quackity up and down. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”LjCqFlVB4J
āNo, you left with your deck. And i have nothing to cheat withā he said raising his hands defensively, Quackity went silent before rubbing his eyes.147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”24r8KHn2OW
āThere's no way. No one has ever beat me at anything, ever.ā147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”kf6oVjecTJ
Soul shrugged and took two vodka shots from a passing waiter's tray āwell someone has now, it's not like itāll ruin your reputationā he said downing the shot, Quackity eyed him suspiciously before downing his own.
He sighed.147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”WkiKbRRq3C
āIāll be back, if you need somewhere to stay tell the man at the door i agreed to let you stay in my home- heāll escort you there, until then iāve gotta take care of somethingā he said standing, Soul nodded and sat there for a few moments before disappearing as well. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”jlqMbliTpF
He walked silently down the marble steps of the large white Casino building and stopped at a huge lit up fountain, he sat on the ledge and stared at the stars as couples laughed and kissed and groups of friends hobbled out of bars towards a hotel.
He hummed lightly as he noticed a side door to a bar open, someone whispered something to the large man and he let them pass. A small smile crossed his lips, how cleverā¦a drug infested den was hidden right next to the bar. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”6Zg3xSBKgG
He stood walking over but staying just a small distance away to not be noticed as he waited for someone to walk up. When someone did his ears went fuzzy and twitched before honing in on the man's voice, ā sinio agaveā they whispered, the man nodded and let him pass.
Soul grinned as curiosity got the best of him, he waited before walking up. They guy looked him up and down āpassword?ā the man asked, pursing his lips and crossing his arms, Soul loosened his tie a bit. 147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”NUX3GMdiNX
āSinio agaveā he said in a low whisper, the man nodded and let him pass.
As Soul walked down the stairs music shocked him, when he entered he was met with the opposite of what he expected.
Women in lingerie danced for men and women in front of them, some girls spun on a pole on a small stage in the middle. Men laughed and gently stroked some of their legs as they were perched on their laps whispering sweet nothings.
Smoke and the scent of alcohol filled the room, he shivered a sense of thrill filling him. āHi there~ā a girl purred from the corner next to him, he chuckled as she gestured for him to join her.
She wore red lingerie with dark eyeliner and her black hair worn in curls, she grabbed his tie and pulled him into a large closet.
He didn't say another word besides praise for the rest of the night.147Please respect copyright.ļ¼°ļ¼„ļ¼®ļ¼”ļ¼®ļ¼”n8iOfySu8o
