 when she was told that there was a way to get rich quick, she didn't think that'd she'd be directed to a casino.

after all, her boyfriend already came to enough of these. she knows how rigged they are, and she's fully aware of how people lose money because of it. most times, casinos around the region would be disguised as "game corners", though she knows now that they're ploys to get unsuspecting trainers to spend more and gain less. twas a vicious cycle to feed into addiction. a royal fuck up, if you will.

the job was to screw someone over. the job was to screw anyone over, and make some bank. she played as one of the women who was supposed to.. encourage other trainers to keep going. compliment them. whisper sweet nothings into their ear - that sort of thing.

... but was the outfit really appropriate?

"i-i can't come out like this!" the young woman whines in the change room, staring at herself in the mirror. it was skimpy. it was inappropriate! this was an absolute fashion disaster! but still, she had to come out with red across her cheeks as she's forced onto the floor. she could see eyes glued onto her figure, as her fingers tented over her chest. ahh.. she wanted to get this over with!

team rocket had finally gotten one right. maddonis prided himself on being able to wrap many a boy and girl around his finger, and it had been said that from a young age, he could talk money out of anyone’s pockets. skills of manipulation were bred into him, a natural-born talent. finally, he was working in his element. only, his partner was having issues. he’d been waiting outside of the changing room for her to reveal herself, and the clock. was. ticking. “sure you can. just come out.”

his eyes had been nearly rolling in the back of his head when she finally appeared, dressed in all her (not much) lopunny glory. his head tilted to the side curiously, his blonde locks falling away from a chiseled cheek. his hand then came up, and he went to run his fingers gently over the fabric of her top near her shoulder. “it’s not that bad.” he assured, eyes roaming shamelessly. then, his cornflower eyes came up to meet hers. he smirked, and went to smoothly dash any amount of confidence he’d just bestowed. someone’s bound to like it.”

hoping it made her squirm, he then turned back to the floor and inhaled the sharp stench of cologne and perfume battling for control of the room. the view was all cash and sequins, and yes, hungry eyes looking back at the ridiculously sexed up lopunny beside him. maddonis was also dressed to impress, but he looked more rich and like himself than a fetishized monster. he couldn’t see himself agreeing to costumes, personally, no matter what they held to his head.

“hmm..” he tapped his chin thoughtfully, his gaze panning. “who looks vulnerable?” a ruby on his finger tapped against the stem of cocktail glass. was he drinking on the job? sure, just for the sake of looking classy.

 she had a boyfriend, she wasn't supposed to.. supposed to be walking around, skimpily clad in whatever this fashion genocide was! the top barely had any fabric to begin with, while it clung - admittedly, comfortably - against her skin. it was closer to a one-piece, high waisted on top of a fluffy lopunny tail stick at the end of her tail bone. the ears, while they were a nice touch, only made her want to hide behind them.

"th-this is so embarrassing.." the albino glances up to her partner in crime for the night, cheeks getting red as his eyes shamelessly ran across her body from top down. if she could, she'd crawl into a hole and never come out again! but she couldn't, not when money was on the line. lord forgive her, for she was going to be flirting with a guy who wasn't her partner. holy spirit have mercy.

especially feeling a finger run over her shoulder, which was more than enough to push the already on-edge woman further down the rabbit hole. a shiver ran up her spine, coupled with a slightly shocked and disgruntled expression of embarrassment. "d-don't do that..!" she can only whisper shout, followed by a low whimper while bringing her arms up to hold herself.

ruby red eyes dart across the room, hoping to find their prey - and quickly, so that she didn't have to wear this costume longer than she had to - amongst a drunken crowd. "maybe someone drunk.." she lets out in the process of recovering, motioning closer to a bar. "i think they're more easily convinced."

and if it's not a cute girl whispering into a drunk man's ear, she can only imagine that it would be competitive spirit or sheer, unbridled drunken anger that can push a man to spend more than he should.

he smirked. “you’re not wrong.” looking over at her again, he was decidedly entertained by the sight. he took another sip, and sauntered off to the bar.

from the point on her figure at which the fabric had most stretched, he’d traced the line of a hungry gaze back to its bloodshot eyes. it led him to a barstool, across from them. maddonis leaned, back facing the bar, his body open towards the subject of their admiration.

“i think you like the rabbit.” he observed. the man, who also happened to be dripping in designer jewelry madonnis could smell from across the room, cast him little more than an annoyed look. maddonis persisted.

“i like the rabbit too. let’s make a game of it.” he locked stares with the man, and while his lips gave away a feeling of amusement, his eyes had a darkness to them that wasn’t particularly comical. when maddonis looked away, he briefly glanced up at ophelia, wondering what she would think of the prospect and if she’d come over.

without waiting to see, he spun slowly on the stool to order another drink. he’d only be having two.

 what throws her off (more than the outfit) was how.. open the man here was. he was completely unfazed, like he'd done this almost a million times. really, you couldn't judge a book by its cover. in this case, she would never have been able to tell that a man with a near angelic complexion would be like.. this.

and that only caught her attention for a moment. for the rest of the time, she couldn't help but glance around - and the more she did, the higher number of people caught staring soared - prompting the woman clad in lopunny to gently hold herself closer. she watches on as her partner moves up and casts the bait, putting the offer up in the air. it would be wise of her to follow up and try to tempt the man further, especially while she had his attention.

she tries to move behind the bar, poking at the bartender to explain the situation. they understood, knowing very well why she was there. and with that, she picks up a bottle of vodka in her hands before walking down the bar. there was a bit of time while he was talking to the man, and she used it to put on a pretty face of smiles while pouring drinks and flattering patrons.

until she reaches the target.

she doesn't even have to try; the outfit did the work for her as she poured in another glass of strong alcohol for him. another shy smile, paired with an already existing flush from the attention stretches across her face.

"i hope that you two are enjoying yourselves. i believe a game of poker or blackjack would be nice ways to spend time when winding down~"

maddonis watched with lukewarm amusement when in his peripheral vision he saw her acquire a bottle from the bar. he supposed it was a good idea. while they wouldn’t be paying for the drinks, they’d put much more money into the games with their pockets loosened by the booze. he regarded her with a smirk as she neared them, pouring a man another drink.

his eyes didn’t meet ophelia’s, though. instead, they locked briefly with the man’s expectantly, who was clearly losing a mental battle with himself. the corners of maddonis’ lightly glossed lips turned up more, urging the gambler to pick a game, any game. ophelia suggested blackjack or poker, both good and enjoyable suggestions. he sipped his sophisticated cocktail, tasting brine, waiting. the man’s gaze fell back on her. “you wanna see how a real man spends his money, doll?”

maddonis got up from his stool, gesturing for the man to lead the way. if it was blackjack, he'd be in the man's other ear. if it was poker, he'd be worming his way into his head from the other side of the table. either way, the man was set up to lose. all the dealers were theirs.


feel free to take the reins over gambler dude!

 she'll need to take a shower for when everything is said and done.

obviously, so she wouldn't have to walk in home with the residue of sleazy men stares. were she not on the clock, she would have been trembling with an uncomfortable shiver shooting up her spine. though still, she tries to take after the other girls surrounding them, hoping to whisper sweet nothings into the ears of men who's minds seemed more intent on trying to impress the bunnies. she'll never understand the behaviour itself, and never hopes to.

the man before them was pensive, almost as though trying to grasp at whatever remaining straws of reason survived the alcohol. the pensive expression on his face, paired with the pause in his voice already spokes volumes to her but - she thinks - that it won't be something she'll have to worry too much about. there wasn't anything that a push or a shove couldn't do.

in the end, ophelia tried to help out by reaching her hand out to nudge at their victim. she masks her unnerve with a sheepish demeanour, of which she knew was.. somewhat endearing to some people. well it didn't take much, asides from an innocent and gleeful "come on, it'll be fun~" and a bit more physical encouragement. and maybe another drink, to help with 'cooling off' from the initial glow and buzz.

he glances to the tables; one of poker and the other of blackjack. the former was complex - difficult to win, especially with his less than stellar condition. he opts with the latter, moving to the blackjack table and having a set of card being dealt.

a simple gambling game of chance, where the odds were set up against him.

they surrounded a table, and the man put a hefty amount of chips on the table. maddonis announced to no one in particular, “ohh, we have a big spender over here!” he raised his arms as though he was introducing the room to someone important, adding to the allure of the table that ophelia was already creating. a few people wandered over, curious. he recognized one of them.

“i’ll bet you a grand my guy wins.” only the man he was speaking to was also a rocket, put there for the same purpose, and the money was coming and going to the same place. it was purely meant to embolden their drunken victim. “he’s got a girl to impress.” the other grunt smirked knowingly, and madonnis glanced up at ophelia from under lashes dark lashes.

the dealer laid down the cards after some lucky mutterings from onlookers were starting to make their own bets on the game. the man had started off conservatively, but it was clear by the impressive rocks on his fingers as he slid the stack forward that he meant business.

he had a six and a ten. the bets were modest. “hit me.” a four. the dealer stayed at eighteen, playing it safe, to build the gambler’s confidence. it went on like that a few rounds. maddonis continued to talk him up to the table. “he’s unstoppable!” he commented melodramatically, seeming completely on the man's side now. he'd had forgotten maddonis’ initial challenge. maddonis certainly wasn’t playing him in anything. he was simply a little devil on his slightly sagging shoulder now, encouraging him to make risky decisions.

 it was.. a spectacle.

definitely a spectacle.

not the best thing to see, especially when she was all too familiar with the works on how things progress. it was a gradual rabbit hole, one of which was going to be difficult to dig oneself out of. but right now? she hadn't the space of sympathy, though she knows that this night did not favour him. to him, however, maybe it was a blessing. a blessing where two people rooted for him, and his hand was actually looking pretty good. a blessing so solid, so absolute, that he saw no problem in adding more money to the plate.

there was a moment of.. what? hesitation? maybe from the pity, knowing that the man was destined to lose. maybe it was from disappointment, that someone would be so easily sucked into the words of others (laughable and ironic, coming from her of all people). either way, she found the man shameless at best. he looked like he had money to spend (and whether or not that was the truth, it wouldn't be her problem when he's the one to go home with empty pockets). so she, along with her evening partner, continued to cheer the man on.

and, to her chagrin, she continued with gentle and light touches to try and sway the man into a stronger resolve. a stronger resolve to impress her, that is.

it seemed like it worked, rising in tension and heat as the man continued to place his bets. maddonis may have been the little devil trying to coerce by the shoulder, whereas ophelia was trying to act as the trophy prize by the end of the bets. things went well for the man for a while. things went very, very well. enough for him to all into the mentality of 'i can win more' each and every time. his bets got riskier, and the amounts began to rocket.

"ah, a bust."


the woman's tone almost turns flat and, to add insult to injury, began moving herself away from the man who watches the stacks of both his winnings and larger bets plummet into nothingness. the dealer only shrugs, trying to offer a half-assed 'maybe next time'. there's a moment where she's worried and concerned about the man, but she knows that she'll be scolded. instead, she looks to her partner in crime in hopes for a way out.

bets kept getting greater. some were made among real patrons, but all were driven by the energy being created by team rocket cohorts planted all around them. there were thousands worth of chips now in the pot. maddonis was tickled by how the mission was going so far, not share ophelia’s feelings of discomfort in the slightest.

then, the dealer finally won. the whole crowd did a one-eighty, those that had been previously ecstatic in a state of shock. small amounts of cash went between hands and the crowd dispersed, while the man was left to fume in rage. everyone gave him space as he erupted into a belligerent tantrum, turning to maddonis and growling, “you tricked me. i don’t know how, but… this is bullshit.” the man’s stance broadened, and maddonis quickly reached for mohs’ pokeball. the man almost looked ready to fight him. obviously, he would never truly know if things were rigged, but he seemed firm in his suspicion — which was correct.

“mohs—“ the man went to throw a punch before maddonis could give any command, but the carbink was ready, and quick. it performed a light screen, and it absorbed most of the punch, giving time for two to disappear into a crowd of people. he glanced at ophelia severely and then turned the other direction to bolt, expecting her to follow.
