    (Breathe in. Breathe out.)

     

    He tries to appear untense, clearing his throat. "A game?"

    "Yea, just a simple card game," The host grins, "We don't actually have to bet anything, but I'm completely down for it if you are!"

    Branzy reaches into his pocket, and gets out a deck of standard cards. He holds it in hand, shuffling the deck a few times.
    Then, he fans the cards out and shows it to Clown. "Do you know how to play old maid?"

     

    (Breathe in. Breathe out.)

    Clown can’t describe what he sees, but then a scream of agony sounds out from the speakers, loud, real, and so, utterly, violent.
    And there’s so much blood.

    It's been three months since the mission at the Casino started. Nearly four months, now. So, naturally, it's about time things started rolling. Not in a good direction, but both sides know - all tricks get called to the table eventually.

    Summary

    •#2••••••
    His eyes widened in realization.  "Ah, right! Sorry, I forgot!" He laughed nervously, "The names Branzy! I'm a part of the management team, and also one of the hosts of this dear Casino."

    Properly taking a look, Clown noticed that there was a scar mark on his left cheek, right underneath his eye. His eyes were that of a jewel, shining with life, but at the same time housing a certain darkness only someone like Clown could recognize. It shone with a pinkish tint, bright and faint, like a star in the twilight sky. It was blurred against a dull, darker color.

     

    (Branzy. What an Interesting name.)

    ---

    "Nah, you're probably right," Zam muttered in agreement, "But then again, that Hearts guy is a freak. I wouldn't be surprised if they had zero connection. I propose that mayhaps this casino is just leeching off the name, we'd never know."

    ---

    ClownPierce, the well known and feared superhero with a bloody reputation that even most murderers could only dream to achieve, is left completely baffled when the commission sends him to play a fake identity and visit a very shady popular Casino downtown.
