tanding outside the vast and glorious entrance of a casino, hands in his pockets biding his time and taking glances at everyone that entered and exited, taking in as much information as he could. Watching and counting all the cameras he could find at the entrance, he shouldn't be staying there for too long but he trusted that his partner in crime wouldn't keep him waiting. Not wanting to become a target from the security guards before even entering the casino. He was about to actually make big brain plays to not become suspicious. "Late comers am I right? You tell them 18:30 but they're never there ha." Atticus would say towards the first guard that looked at him, making him look like he was a bit anxious about someone being late.

In reality Theo wasn't late, Atticus was just a few minutes early because he wanted to stake out the front entrance before their heist. Of course they had the plans and ideas already memorized it was just their, but it wasn't like something couldn't suddenly change and flip everything upside down in the blink of an eye and that's what Atticus was here to avoid. Their plan was to take over the casino and make their way into the vault, at any cost honestly but if that particular job might be too complicated for only two people the could very likely just find their cheating in some games to pick some money and if that didn't work out they could pick a target and just take their winnings. Easy come, Easy go.

[attr="class","bbb"]returning to a casino even if it's an entirely different one reminds him of the time he'd taken young to one. it had ended poorly, unsurprisingly, but he still remembers the incident with a sense of longing.

perhaps he misses the kid more than he realizes.

"he's with me," he says, announcing his presence as he approaches from inside the casino. it looks like theo's even earlier than his partner is.

the two guards nod, moving off to the side to allow atticus in.

"good of you to finally show up, friend."

tticus could feel the guards start to encroach on his personal space with each ongoing second but that wouldn't last for long because Atticus' savior would come out from the casino itself, Atticus actually didn't know that Theo would have been inside already which makes things a lot more easier because they could just go in and nothing to theoretically stop them from doing legal things and from an outside perspective that was what they were there to do.

"There's the man of the hour!" Atticus would open his arms in response and surprise. "See guys! I'm with him. It turns out I was a bit late!" He would pat one of the guards in the shoulders as he walked past him as he made his way towards Theo and the entrance. "Thank you for inviting to join you on this beautiful night."

The easy part was accomplished by the two Rocket members. Now the real fun will begin. Picking what they were fully going to do and how they were going to do it. "So what are the games we have in mind tonight?" He would say opening the doors for the both of the. A whole new world.

[attr="class","bbb"]after a final nod to the guards, theo turns with atticus in tow as the two of them disappear behind the closed doors of the casino.

"the world is our cloyster, so to speak."

with so many options in front of them, theo gravitates to something he's more than familiar with. it's a game he's played time and time again, and it's one of the easiest to cheat in.

"blackjack?"

whole new world! The shining lights, the sound of the machines, the people laughing, playing their games, the ones getting angry the sound of the chips hitting the tables, everything was made into a whole orchestra. The beautiful sound of victory and loss all within one single place. Some would call this predatory but some would call name it the place their lives changed for the better. But today this was Attucus' and Theo's kingdom tonight.

Fixing up his suit he would acknowledge Theo's choice of game to "play". "Blackjack it is then, I play and you play?" Putting a bit more emphasis on the last "play". It was much easier to cheat when there was two people involved, especially if one of them was actually playing normally and the other one was playing fairly. They both had to make sure to at least come out with more than they entered with, the intellectual way to rob a place, by playing their own game.

Atticus would start making his own way to the blackjack table. Taking a seat and nodding towards the dealer and the other players before speaking up. "May I?" Only when everyone would have agreed he would fully make himself fully comfortable at the table.

[attr="class","bbb"]"no. you play."

the choice comes not from his own lack of abilities but from an interest in atticus'. how well will the rocket grunt fare with his sleight of hand? they'll soon find out.

taking a seat at the table, theo lays out the chips in front of him and awaits the dealer.

"good luck, everyone."

hat a surprising turn of events, Atticus had really hoped he would be the one trying to cheat while Theo played, some may ask why and Atticus would honestly and whole heartily respond because he had one of the worse luck when it came to games or anything that had some sort of luck system built into, even if it was a tiny bit. That was simple how his life had always been like.

"Alright. Let's see how my luck is doing tonight." Atticus would pull the chips towards himself before placing three of them on the table. and looking towards everyone else. "Let's get it! Deal." He was ready to lose some easily earned cash that wasn't exactly his.

The dealer would quickly react by shuffling a fresh deck and dealing out the cards. Atticus really wasn't expecting much out of this but he was still about to try his damn best even if it was just to hold some semblance of good appearance, perhaps his superior officer had a different plan and Atticus was something akin to bait.

[attr="class","bbb"]theo has no other plan but this one. it's all down to whether atticus will be able to be quick enough to swap out cards without anyone noticing. it's a trained skill, and it's one he hopes atticus already has.

his first two cards total seventeen, so he raises the bet.

"good hand."
