(Repost) I'M BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN-
Yea.. another bursts of inspo for smthn I SWORE I'd get to and then never do until like 3-6 months later. Well uh... NOTRR AU! Again! second time!
(Au inspired by @kaze-khaos ' Son of Ink x Casino Cups au! Props to them!!)
Worldbuilding!? Since when did i do that!?
(Since now. That's when.)
1. When did they meet?
A lucky Friday in the casino, of course! Bendy was finishing up a trade with The Devil (They're more allies in this Au, though its a little shaky), And bumped into Cup on the way. They talked for a bit, and Bendy saw an opportunity. Cuphead had 0 idea who this guy was, and wasn't scared to speak his mind to him. Bendy liked that, and the next time they saw eachother, Bendy struck that cup a deal. work for him on the weekends, for a huge paycheck. Like, 25-30K depending on how good he was. Cuphead- knowing how much that money would help them, took it almost instantly when he heard the numbers. (Bendy is loaded, he doesn't worry about money lol)
2. What's their relationship like at first?
In one word? Wary. Bendy likes this new cup, but can't trust a lotta people. Cuphead doesn't care much, money is money... but this work he's been given is odd and tough stuff, s' for sure... not for the queasy OR faint of heart. But he's done his fair share of work worse than some body cleanup and a few raids. (He's more worried about his brother and all these secrecy agreements and contracts he's been signin'...??)
3. Fun facts about the characters?
Mugman: He's got a reading group on the weekends, so he doesn't see Cuphead much then! He's leaned to speak more fluentlyly and fancier, no accent like he had as a kid. Has cracks on his handle from when it fell off, and a crack on his cheek from the contract incidents. He likes learning new languages. his favorite is Italian! He's an okay cook, but not to his brother's talent, and he likes Crème brûlée.
Cuphead: Not the type to care for others unless they give benefits or he knows em' well. Still has an accent, unlike his brother. Dropped outta school, but knows how to read, write, add, multiply... the basics. Actually loves to cook n' bake, unlike most of the AUs i see whers he's banned from the kitchen lol. He didn't have a lot of time when Mugsy went to school and Elder kettle left, so he made dinner, and lunches for his brother the next day. Has a lot of cuts and a few burns from practicing, as well as quite a few cracks on his head, arms, and legs, because of how reckless he can be. Likes anything sweet, but likes savory stuff too, like pretzels.
Bendy: Lost his leg when he was a kid, and has a prosthetic on almost constantly, so nobody but his close close friends, and Boris know much about it. has tons of scars on his back, including bullet and stab wounds. needs ink to morph/make anything, and is the main guy to talk to to get any at all. His presence is known well, but his face and name are concealed almost entirely. Rarely even takes likings to anyone, so if he does to you, consider yourself lucky! Likes bacon soup and savory dishes, obviously.
