Cheating With Fate
Who: OPEN
Where: Aries Ward, near the Great Arena
When: During the tournament, any date'll do!
Summary: There is an upside to having the Goddess of Fate on your side. Time to cheat at gambling! Who wants to cash in as well - or bust his ass?
Warnings: Gambling and stuff.
Just outside of the Great Arena, Kazuya was standing before a great golden entity, Norn, with a brightly coloured pamphlet held up high above him, his scarlet eyes narrowed in intense thought. It was showing the current match happening that day, the fighters' profiles and stats written in exciting, flashy ways to draw the eye and stir excitement.
What was he doing? Well...
"Okay, so you're absolutely sure they'll win?"
"Our predictions always have a chance to occur, Our Lord," the topmost woman said, her voice echoing oddly as her lips didn't even move. How eerie. "Something may happen outside of our view..."
"Okay, so you're sure that they're most likely to win then?" Kazuya amended, lowering the pamphlet and looking quite pleased with himself. "These have higher odds against them too, so if I put in enough money, I could walk away from this a very rich man..."
Oh dear, it seemed like this one was cheating. If you overheard, you may wish to correct this amoral deed! Or ask to cash in on the same deal. Hey, Norn's the presider of Fate - her hunches have gotta be golden!

"...gee, Norn, thanks for telling me that someone was eavesdropping," he grumbled, shooting a glare at his demon over his shoulder. He coughed and straightened back up, looking back at the intruder.
"I'm not doing anything. Nothing. Just chillin' with a clock woman."
no subject
"You know, when you cheat at gambling, it's not really gambling anymore, is it?"
Normally he wouldn't say this or even care, but apparently this guy was either bad at lying or thought Kaito was stupid!
no subject
"Look, if you're gonna give me the whole 'cheaters never prosper' rubbish - save it, 'coz you'll just get a 'I told you so', when I'm rolling in money," Kazuya sniffed primly, tugging at the collar of his cape. The Demon King look was sort of ruined by the bright, baby blue turtleneck sweater beneath the cape, but he hated the snow, okay! It was to cold!! And Belial hated it.
no subject
"Like, the reason people gamble is for the adrenaline rush of not knowing if they're gonna win. So if people pick up that they're losing every time, no one's gonna bet anymore."
So, if Kazuya keeps doing this for all of the matches, both divisions included...
no subject
Well, he could, if he found a television that wasn't claimed by a bubbly crowd of people. He was getting a bit better in handling his hunger when people's emotions skyrocketed, but he could only deal with a maximum of three people. Any more than that and... yeah.
no subject
Maybe he just didn't like crowds or something...
no subject
"Well, too many humans in one place make me hungry, y'know?"
no subject
"...Is that what the cape's for?"
no subject
" My king," Norn suddenly spoke up. Her golden form floated closer, somehow staring intently at Kaito despite being a motionless statue, "This man..."
"Huh? What about him?" Kazuya dropped the spoilt child act, turning to his demon minion with an expression of curiosity.
"A child of fate. His threads are beyond our sight."
Well that was apparently something? It meant Greek to Kazuya, but it certainly meant something to Norn.
no subject
The least he could also do is ask this to Kazuya but no.
It was funnier this way.
no subject
Ignoring Kazuya's indignant spluttering, the Norn stared solemnly at Kaito, her voice echoing softly; "He is Our King, the triumphant victor for the Throne of Bel. His past, present, and future is similar to your own. Blackened and hidden from Our view."
no subject
"That explains the cape..." Why yes, Kaito was still hung up about the cape thing.
no subject
no subject
"So, you're a demon king, then?" Like, how did that work? Did he literally become a demon?
...Can you even do that...?
no subject
"Yeah," Kazuya said, lifting a hand to fiddle with the tall collar of his cape. "I climbed the whole mountain and all that."
There was a bit of pride there, but not a lot. It was sort of like how someone admitted to coming second in a competition - impressive, but not really what they wanted.
no subject
Come on, Kaz, you're bumming Norn out here!
no subject
Okay really, it's just that he has a love-hate thing going on with his Kingship. He still remembers his friends abandoning him - Yuzu of all people abandoned him! The one who knew him the longest! - just because of this (even if he feels it was totally right and would pick it again).
no subject
"Oh, uh..." Sorry to make things awkward... "I guess getting bored's bound to happen, haha."
no subject
Kazuya, thankfully, changed the topic. He looked back at Kaito, raising an eyebrow as he settled his hands firmly on his hips. "Anyway, who are you anyway? You didn't even bother introducing yourself. Rude."
no subject
"I'm Kaito, your Majesty."
