XxxAutumnBlissxxX: HELLO! Thank you for opening my story. The people might be a tad out of character, but whatever. What works, works. I hope you like it!
Soul stared at the man sitting across from him. The man, face beaded in sweat, gaped at the card in front of him.
Joker.
Soul smirked at the man. Picking up his knife, he tugged the man away, where no one could hear his cries.
Soul was sitting at his little round table cleaning his knife when he heard the door open silently and click shut. Earnestly, Soul put away his knife and grinned crookedly at the newcomer.
"Wanna play a game?" he asked.
The newcomer's eyes doubled in size as they grasped the concept of Soul's crimson eyes and shark like teeth. However, they quickly recovered from their shock and sat down opposite Soul.
"What's the rules?" the stranger asked. Soul smiled once again.
With a flick of his wrist, Soul tossed four cards into a random order in a perfect line in front of the man.
"Quite simple, really," he said. "You see this card?" Soul picked one card from the deck and held it up for the man to see.
He nodded.
"Out of the four cards on the table, one of them matches this one. Find the match, and you get the ring in my pocket," Soul held up the priceless ruby ring. "If you pick up a different card…. I get your watch."
"Okay, I'll play," the man quickly rushed into saying, eager to be the owner of the shining ruby.
"There's one more thing you have to know," Soul said calmly. "One of these four cards is a joker. Pick the joker, and I get your life." Soul sat back in his chair, smirking at the man's reaction.
"So," Soul drawled, "wanna play a game?"
Chuckling darkly to himself, Soul examined his reflection in his gleaming knife.
"Why is it," he asked out loud to no one, "that they always pick the joker?"
