"Taking over the world without being able to be stopped…am I the only one who loves this job?" Tesla asked smirking as she reclined in a large black and red plushy recliner that was decorated with clubs and cards with 'Aces' on them.
"Nope." Ms. Millions said happily laying on her plush lounge chair that was decorated with diamonds and Aces.
"Not at all. Now we just have to wait on our two newest members to be broken in and then all will be well with the Deck for now." Princess Pride said grinning as she sat curled up next to Lan on a simple red and black couch that had hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds embroidered into it. The two new members being, of course, Ms. Mari and Ms. Yuri. They were both angry and rebellious but after the subliminal messages their collars were transmitting directly to their brain via electrical charges sank in and took effect…well…then there would be no worries about those two. Lan could hardly wait, he couldn't wander around the base much until they were firmly under his thumb lest they find him and discover the trick and lies.
"That and we need to have some plans made for recruiting a few more 'extras'. Why waste valuable deck members when we can send out cannon fodder against idiots? Need to work on a few decoy's as well, and maybe think about recruiting some backup deck members…" Lan began to trail off his mind working a mile a minute before he turned to look at Sinon who was sitting primly in an all-black high back chair near the door.
"Can you make a note for me to look into recruiting a few other backups and decoys at a later date?" Lan asked causing the woman to nod as she made the notation on her ever present tablet before setting it down at a look from Princess Pride.
"Lan today is supposed to be our day off. Don't be making any plots or plans and just relax for today." Princess Pride said sighing softly as she laid a hand on her fiancés upper arm.
"Yes dear. The idea just struck me right then is all so I thought it best to have a reminder to flesh it out at a later date." Lan said smiling apologetically at his fiancé who rolled her eyes but smiled at him. They both glared when Tesla made a whip cracking sound with a grin on her face while Ms. Millions snickered delicately and Sinon smiled slightly. Lan was definitely whipped by his Princess.
"Shut it Tes." Lan said glaring at the woman who grinned back at him.
"Aye Aye boss man." Tesla said although she didn't wipe the grin from her face making Lan roll his eyes but smile a bit.
"All the top women in the Deck completely own me don't they?" Lan asked more amused than anything as he looked across the room to Chaud who was smirking from his simple black and white recliner with Jacks and Spades on it.
"At least you admit it." Chaud said shrugging his shoulders while the women in the room, which definitely outnumbered the men, snickered or laughed outright.
"Bite me. You're just as whipped as I am." Lan said looking at Ribitta who was on the arm rest beside Chaud holding his hand and giggling in amusement.
"Shut it Lan." Chaud said blushing just a bit as he looked away. That just made the women in the room burst out laughing at the two men's interaction, even the ever stoic Sinon was smiling at the two 'brothers' before her tablet began beeping frantically.
"Sir you have to see this!" Sinon said after seeing something on her tablet, quickly standing and walking over to hand it to Lan who sighed and looked at it. It was a video of an attack on a square by a group calling themselves the Knights.
"Another dark organization hmm?" Lan asked looking at the armored 'Knights' as they took over the ACDC square. Unlike the Deck whose members had their disguises in Reds and Blacks depending on their 'suit', the 'Knights' all wore bright white armor and carried white swords and clubs and maces like 'Knights' from the old medieval days.
"Lan?" Pride asked looking at her King who was frowning slightly as he observed the 'Knights' that were on the screen.
"Sinon dispatch Spade team 3 to take care of the trash and then get Heart team 5 to infiltrate these so called Knights. This could help bring up our public image a bit by taking out an obviously violent attack on a square and we can get some intel and at least learn if there's anything or anyone useful in this organization." Lan said after observing the slaughter and conquer for a few minutes. Sinon immediately snapped to attention as she took her tablet back and left the room, calling for the appropriate teams.
"Spade team 3? That's a bit of overkill isn't it?" Tesla asked looking at Lan wide eyed and making him smirk. Spade team 3 consisted of 3 Spade members, numbers 7, 8, and 9 …or as the lower ranked cards knew them as, the Terrifying Trio. To the higher ranked cards they were known merely as Kamakura, Peko, and Mukuro. Three of the more dangerous members of the deck.
"No Overkill will be if any of us or team 2 go to take care of these Knights. Spade Team 3 will prove our strength, take out the garbage and give a message that we aren't to be messed with without it seeming to be complete overkill." Lan said making the others nod in understanding. Lan and Mega alone are Team Zero, Lan, Pride, and Chaud are Spade Team 1.
Spade Team Two however…that comprised of Junko, Irene and Teresa. Irene was called 'Quicksword' because of her Navi's sword wielding design and the fact that she used speed, she was the Female Jack of Spades. Teresa was known as Faint Smile, for her Navi's always smiling demeanor and no other distinguishable quirks…which made her perfect for blending in. She was known as the Hidden Queen…the name was self-explanatory. Junko…she seemed to have a split personality and flip between personality's easily and effortlessly. Her Navi, it was called Monokuma and it seemed to resemble a bear that was split in half and had different colorizations. Half of it was white and called the 'hope' side, the other half was black and Junko called it the 'despair' side.
Junko was also not only Mukuro's younger fraternal twin sister but she was also known for having a despair fetish. She loved playing mind games with her opponents before executing them in Ironic ways.
"Yeah…Junko will have fun playing with these guys if they get in our way." Pride said sighing slightly as she thought of the woman who loved despair…but was more loyal to Lan and Pride than anything or one else…and Mukuro was loyal to Junko and Despair and therefore to Lan and Pride as well. The others agreed with Ribitta's next remark before she had to leave to go and report on the Square Attack.
"Yeah Junko alone is overkill in any situation."
