so i did an ao3 thingy
my c!fundy-obsessed ass needed to do something sooner or later
Roll The Dice (One More Time)
After a long day at the casino, as the moon replaced the sun, Fundy was the only one still going. “Just one more,” he mumbled, “one more shot. One over the stack limit, it’s fine.”
He was 23 diamonds over that aforementioned one-stack limit, but that was irrelevant.
Maybe this was why age requirements existed for casinos, it was too easy to get swept up in all the glamour, especially if you were under 21. But hey, wasn’t that the point of a casino? No one came here to win, not really, everyone just wanted to forget about what they’d lost.
To be fair, the casino did have age requirement rules, but Quackity was more than content to turn a blind eye to that whenever Fundy showed up with glittering blue gems in his hand and a clouded look in his eyes. Quackity wasn’t entirely without care for the fox hybrid, he was just a businessman, and Fundy basically screamed easy profit.
And profit he did provide, coming here day after day. At first he started out small, a few diamonds and then he'd leave, but that thinking quickly snowballed until Fundy was only mining for things to spend. It didn't help that the casino never closed, either - Fundy couldn't count on two hands how many times he'd stumbled out of the casino to find that it was a mere hour away from daybreak.
Fundy blinked, looking up. 23 had turned into 29, and as much as he didn’t want to obey it, that was his cue. He had to basically force himself out of the casino, and even then he found himself looking back at the glittering building with intent to head back inside and continue. Fiddling with his tie, Fundy forced his eyes to look at anything around him, anything that wasn't the place he just left.
Thankfully, given the nature of the country, there were plenty of things to focus on. Tall buildings, lights, recreations of buildings from the Space Needle to the fucking Eiffel Tower.
That was something that he could focus on, okay. Recreations. Copies. Fakes trying to mimic the real thing, and though it worked at face value, nothing was real about it.
Las Nevadas was fake, that much was obvious. But that was okay.
Right now Fundy didn't want something real.
