*18 years ago*
20 year old Dice walked down the street in the big city it had been a while since he had been in this part of the isle.
"King Dice...I like the sound of that" he says grinning to himself he had recently earned the title as the new manger of the devils Casino boss of everyone there except for the demon himself, so tonight he decided to treat himself.
"'King Dice'?" A voice says it's women's, Dice turns to see a Ragdoll dressed in a rather revealing outfit, "Is that just a fancy title or are you really a king?" She asks walking towards him, she was shorter then him, with pale skin stitched at the joints, shoulder length red hair and green eyes. "You could say that" Dice replies he was liking what he was seeing, "How bout you prove it then" She trails a finger across his arm, "I like a good deal" He says grinning, "Well then lets go have some fun"
It was a wild night after having to much to drink they partook in some rather mature activities. In the morning King Dice was gone but there was stack of cash left on Scarlets bedside table, "At least he left me something nice" she says slowly sitting up out of her bed the light flowing through the window not helping her hangover and neither was the sudden ringing of her phone thankfully she was in the same room as it, it was the stork company...
She was going to raise a pair of Dice
Spade sat on the roof of the apartment complex staring out into nothings trying to keep her mind of anything but her mother, but she knew she'd have to go down and see her eventually.
Sighing she pulls down the hood of her jacket and stands just as her twin brother Jack climbs the last ladder onto the roof, "Finally found ya!" He says waking over to her, Spade raises a brow, "Really out of all my 'hiding places'", she puts air quotes around the words, "this is the last place you check what happened to your detective skills?" She takes a playful jab at him, "I'm a perfectly good detective" Spade rolls her eyes before looking at the ground, "How...How is she?" She asks there mother hadn't been feeling well for a while now a disease that ran through her side of the family that finally caught up with her, Jack blinks back tears, "Not good the doctor says she could go at...a-at any second!" He says chocking out a sob Spade hugs him, "Then lets go make sure we're there" tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Ah you're here" Dr.Noble says, "How is she Doc?" Jack asks despite knowing the answer, "Not good I think she's in her final moments, go be with her, she says she has something important to tell you two, excuse me" He steps around them and leaves the small apartment.
The twins look at each other before entering they're mothers room, Scarlet smiles at them weakly as they slowly walk towards her bed, "Spade...Jack" Jack hugs her making sure it's not to tight she strokes his messy red hair, "You...You wanted tell us something?" Spade asks going around to the other side of the bed and taking the chair next to it and reaches out and holds her mothers free hand, Scarlet nods, "It's...Its about your father", at this the twins look at each other she had never spoken of their father before not even when they were younger and asked, "You've heard recently about the hero's of Inkwell right?" They nod who hadn't heard of Cuphead and Mugman to young cups that made a deal with the devil to get all his debtors soul contrasts and in the end defied the odds and defeated all his goons, his right hand man and the devil himself setting all the debtors free and becoming known as hero's!!
"Well the Devils right hand man...King Dice, I think you know what I'm trying to say" "HES OUT FATHER?!" The twins both shout looking at her in shock and disbelief, "Yes 18 years ago we...met and 9 months later the stork brought you two little gifts to me...he doesn't even know"
Jack and Spade look at each other they had heard the stories about the Devils casino, and of course about the "Sleazy manger" of it but to learn that he was their father?! That was just as scary, "Wait...does that mean we have cool powers?" Jack asks Spades facepalms and gives him a "really?" look, that's what he's wanted to know? Scarlet smiles, "Yes you both do" she reaches over to her bedside table opens the top and pulls out a folded price of paper, "There is a temple with the ghost of Chalice that I once met on Inkwell isle one she told me when the time came to bring you two to her so she could help you control your powers, I can't bring you two her so you must go to her" she hands Spade the paper who unfolds it several times it was a hand drawn map to get to the temple!
"Thank you..." Scarlet nods, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner I thought I had more time" he smiles looks weaker, "Just know I...I love you both..." her grip on Spades hand loosens completely and her hand on, Jacks head goes limp, "Mom...MOM!" They both hug her tightly crying and begging for her to come back for what seems like hours before they call anyone...
