Prologue: Nameless
In the case of urban legends, the least interesting answer is usually the correct one. It is only in excitement that these legends are given other origins. That's the beauty in legends: no one knows the real answer, and so any possibility could just be the truth. The thought of endless possibilities excites most, and thus the outlandish tales of urban legends are brought to life.
They were nameless, only known by short offhand descriptions. A boy and his little sister. No one knew where they lived, although most presumed the bustling city of Las Vegas, as it was where their reign of… dominance, if you will, was usually seen. It was illegal to cheat in gambling, although the sibling duo seemed not to have gotten the memo. They left casinos hurting with their pockets full of chips worth more than their lives.
No one knew what they looked like. Rumor circulated that they were spies in suits; others said the boy was seven feet tall and the girl could pass for a supermodel. As is the case with most urban legends, neither was true.
Their appearance was what enabled them to pull it off. No one suspected a gangly teenager and his little sister who rarely spoke, both painfully inept at any social interaction. No one would expect them to be the infamous "Blank", who won every game they played, luck-based or not.
Of course, in life, no one can win without consequence. No one can win again and again without having something to pay. And of course, in a business such as gambling, the house didn't like it when they lost. Although, Blank had yet to be caught, even though they'd been in and out of more gambling boats than officials could count.
Yes, it was against the law to cheat in gambling, because it simply ceased to be gambling if one already knew the outcome.
Thus, the urban legend of Blank began. On the outside it seemed like a movie: making money, living the high life and narrowly escaping security.
But once again, as is the case with urban legends, the least interesting answer is usually the correct one. It was no high-life that they lived, no glamorous scene, and if any of the mouths that circulated the urban legend of Blank could see, they undoubtedly would lose interest in the peculiar story that was a team of two who simply couldn't lose.
That was the beauty of urban legends: from the outside, it could be anything. It didn't have to be something uninteresting; it could be something fantastical. Even if on the inside, it was a mess of stress, tempers, and frustration, the two infamous siblings ready to give it all up in a heartbeat, for anything, especially an uneventful life spent at home, in front of a computer screen.
Sleepover Party! - Spin the Bottle - write an established AU - "nameless"
Hello there and welcome to my story! This is just the prologue so not much to see or do yet. XD It's gonna be a Modern!/Casino! AU if you couldn't tell already. The prompt "nameless" somehow got me to this... not really sure how. Anyway, it's gonna be a mix of genres. There'll probably be some Sora x Other girls, Steph, Jibril, maybe Shiro, and hopefully some humor here and there. XD
Anyway, I'd love to hear what you thought of this first little bit! I hope you enjoy! :D
