Man, fucking Battat. Every so often she rings me up or shoots me a text asking if I wanna play dice with her and every so often I start to try to say no, but she fucking picks up on that so fast and her fun 🌀QUIRKY👾 demeanor drops.
No longer laughing and being bubbly, she starts to remind me of the file she has in her possession that would simply 🪦RUIN⚰️ me if it fell into the wrong hands! And so with tears in my eyes is reluctantly agree to play dice with Battat. It’s always in a back alley behind some strip mall.
🤮GROSS🤢 and rank. Battat hunched over a damp piece of cardboard she uses to roll her dice on. I always ask Battat, I say Battat you’re so 🤑RICH💵 and 💎FAMOUS💃, can’t we please play dice in like a highrise penthouse or something? Thinking of the nice all you can eat buffet that would surely be there.
All highrise penthouses have all you eat buffets. I’m pretty sure it’s like some sort of requirement. If I’m going play fucking dice with Battat, let me at least get my fill on some slightly warmer than room temp fries.
But she always just grunts a no, and then rolls her dice, not looking at me at all. And 👼HOLY SHIT🚽, I’m not a man who believes in luck but… Battat is turning me into a believer because she has to be the unluckiest person in the world. Every roll she does, pure shit.
I don’t even really know how to play dice but fuck, I play like some kinda 🌎WORLD CHAMP🏆 when I play with her. And fuck, her goddamn temper. It doesn’t take much to set her off. Screaming and shouting and 🌬️HUFFING AND PUFFING🤬.
This fucking back alley we play in has a number of cracks in the walls from her just pounding her fists into them after each of my rolls. Fucking cracks. 🧱BRICK WALLS🪨. Fucking cracks.
At the end of the game when I inevitably beat her, she pulls out a knife and just slices or stabs me before running off into the shadows to go fucking goofy green pippins dance as she interviews QUEEN or something, fuck!
Man, fucking Battat. Every so often she rings me up or shoots me a text asking if I wanna play dice with her and every so often I start to try to say no, but she fucking picks up on that so fast and her fun 🌀QUIRKY👾 demeanor drops.
