Do the best I can

The sound of rollin' dice To me is music in the air Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man Although I don't play fair

“My shift is over,” she argued with the manager, bunching her apron in her hands. But no, she needed to keep working –– overtime for the shifts she missed last week. “This is bullshit,” the girl spoke as she walked behind the bar to the costumer on the barstool. “Okay, looks like you’ve been granted a shitty bartender. What can I get you… a sippy cup perhaps?”

Oogie didn’t go into Downtown Carthay very often, typically he preferred staying further from the actual city. But when he did venture into the city he usually enjoyed going to Gusteau’s mostly because he knew he could get a good stiff drink there. Plus he found it funny when he got to see the bartender smart off to her boss or better yet to one of the customers. “A sippy cup? Aww, are ya tryin’ to flatter me? I thought you were supposed to be a shitty bartender.”

Jane was definitely concerned by the man’s lack of fire safety as he held the lighter close to the box, taking a step away from him as a precaution. “I don’t really like them, personally. I don’t like explosions much at all,” confessed Jane. Even gunshots were classified under that, for her. “I don’t know why you would want them all year… or right now, for that matter - you should really put that lighter away,” she warned.

“Why wouldn’t you want them all year? They look pretty and the sound gets you’re heart racing, doesn’t it?” Now he could understand why people didn’t like them. Hell even he got tired of the sound after a while. But where would be the fun in saying all that? It was much more fun to be contradictory. He glanced to the lighter as though he didn’t realize the problem. “Why? I’m careful with it. Unless... You worried something’s gonna happen?”

              AS USUAL ,  sally’s plan was to get out of work in time to make it home before dinner time ;  it was just another of the strict rules she had to follow in order to pay her debt ,  &&  of course ,  the redhead would rather  avoid  as much conflict as possible  —  or at least she hoped to most of the time .  so when her shift ended ,  the girl didn’t waste much time  &&  easily bid  her farewells  to her coworker  &&  boss ,  soon to be stepping out of the boutique .

            it shouldn’t come as a  s u r p r i s e  that sally would much rather walk as much of the way home as possible than call a cab or an uber ;  her feet didn’t cost any money ,  &&  even if she ended up needing a ride ,  there was no way she would  be charged  the same amount if at least half of the way home was already behind .  however ,  her plans seemed to change completely the moment she caught sight of a  familiar face .  the way he greeted her made the redhead chuckle ,  a pair of pale hands wrapped around the strap of her crossbody bag while  her lips  curled into a smile . 

            ❝  NICE TO SEE YOU TOO ,  oogie .  catch up ??  um …  sure ,  i think that would be fine .  how have you been ??  &&  you’re right ,  it has been a while .  i thought you’d  forgotten  about me !!  ❞

“Forget about you? I could never forget you, ragdoll.” Oogie said with a chuckle and crooked grin. Okay if he were honest he could, hell he would. He didn’t really care much for knowing Sally and only interacted with her in hopes of finding a way to get back at Jack. Of course he couldn’t let her know that. It was like a game of cards after all, he had to keep his cards a secret until just the perfect moment.

“I’ve been busy recently. Keeping up with life, making fast money and more importantly making trouble.” Of course by making fast money he meant tricking people out of their money. Though that was something he hadn’t let Sally in on yet. He was sure she already knew about his alcohol problem, after all how could you not know about that? But he didn’t need her knowing his full reputation yet. Or at least he hoped she didn’t know his full reputation. If she did know then she was doing a damn good job at hiding the fact she knew. He really doubted that she knew anything more about him then he wanted her to know though.

“Let’s walk and talk. It’s dangerous for a pretty doll like you to walk home alone at this time of night. I take it you been busy too? Bet that witch that works in the boutique keeps ya working all the time.”

“Willing to lose that much? You must be feeling really lucky.” He mostly mocked, after all Hades could give some credit where it was worth. And so that was Oogie made some interesting games. “Only when they’re as appealing as that one– can’t give me the luxury of passing up on that.” Hades merely smirked before shaking his head. “And who’s taking his sweet sweet time now? “

“I don’t think I’m gonna be the one losin’. ‘Sides I’m always feelin’ lucky.” He said with a cocky grin. He probably shouldn’t be acting cocky but he couldn’t help it. The cocky act made things more fun to him. He actually laughed at Hades’ response but his eyes didn’t leave the board as he thought out his moves. Finally he moved the pawn in front of his left bishop forward. “It’s different when I take my time. See, I actually know what I’m doing.”

“I never did that. Where’s your proof?” Shock said, eyeing him up. She was lying of course, because where was the fun in the truth? “Fifty bucks. And a new hat, my witch hat is getting old.” She extended her hand. “Do we have a deal, gramps?”

“I got none. An’ I hope no one else does either.” He knew she was lying but he wasn’t gonna call that out. At least not at the moment. “Fifty bucks and a new hat? You’re bleedin’ me dry, kid.” He was being sarcastic of course, honestly if he was dealing with anyone else he’d have scoffed at the offer. “But ya got a deal.”

“What you don’t like seeing my pretty face?” He seems unfazed by the threat and immediately turns back to his phone. “Calm down, your majesty. I’m just waitin’ for a meet up. The fact that it’s outside you buildin’ is just coincidence”

“I know, and you just happened to have one on your shoulder! Today must be a lucky day for you,” she looked at him, eyes shining with so much excitement. “Oh, I could never be afraid of bugs, especially not beetles! I used to see them all the time when I lived in the Hundred Acre Woods, most of them were just ground beetles, but they absolutely loved my garden and were so good at keeping real pests out!”

In one hand she held the insect and held her other one out to him, “here, would you like to take a look? I don’t want it to fly off, so we’ll have to be careful!”

“Wouldn’t be surprised if it was. I find most days are lucky for me.” Only because he cheated and forced them to be “lucky”. Her comment about seeing them in the Hundred Acre Woods caught his attention. Maybe he’d have to start hunting around there to add onto his collection at home. “Really? Guess I just gotta start hanging out around there more. Most people I know would have chased the beetles off though.”

He reached out and took the bug from her. He was being surprisingly careful with it. “I gotta get a look at this guy. Beetles are some of my favorite bugs actually. Maybe I’ll take this one home for my collection.”

Oogie Boogie keeps b-b-bodies in his basement? I knew he was terrifying but… a murderer? In Carthay? Yeah… I’m never going to leave my house again. ( @bugboogie )

“… I’m gonna go with the third option that involves me locking ya in a basement as far from me as possible.” He’s just joking. We think. “But outta the two… I guess I’ll go with painting my nails? Least then I can wear gloves to cover it.”
