Who: ~~The one name club~~ Cas and Parker.
What: Who can even guess...
Where: Crowley's casino.
When: Early evening.
Rating: TBD.
Status: In progress.

Honest compulsions didn't mean much to Cas and Parker. They were both fairly honest people as it was, and it wasn't like either of them really possessed any real filters to speak of. The only problems came when Cas decided to make a public message about how he hated just about everyone or when Parker told patrons of the casino that she stole from them. Other than that, it was pretty normal. And it was damn entertaining to watch everyone else being way more honest than usual.

They were currently sitting on the beams above the casino, since Parker wasn't allowed on the floor, watching the action below with binoculars and pointing out people who were cheating for future reference. They were also eating pizza rolls. It was a mystery where they had cooked them, since they clearly didn't have an oven up in the beams. "Cheating," Cas pointed to one guy, like this was some sort of game. "Definitely cheating."

With a half of a pizza roll in one hand and a pair of binoculars in the other, Parker chewed absently on the food in her mouth and peered through the lens at the man Cas was labelling a cheater. "No way," she replied lightly as she swallowed the food, leaning forward over the beam a bit more to get a better look. "How's he cheating? He's just sitting there, chatting up that girl... and using a mirror on the face of his watch to see what the dealer has. Damn."

Pulling the binoculars away, she gave Cas a mock glare and pouted jokingly. "I'm getting rusty," she muttered before popping the rest of the pizza roll she held into her mouth. She looked back to the floor once more, feet swinging idly over the edge of the beam, and gave a 'whoop' of pleasure as she pointed to a woman sitting at the Roulette Wheel.

"Cheater!" she announced triumphantly with a hard swallow to get the food out of her mouth. "Oh, I can't wait to bust her. Do you see the size of that rock on her finger? That thing's worth a small fortune in hock." She gave a knowing nod and plucked another pizza roll from the plate between them.

"You shouldn't doubt my awesomeness, Parker," Cas teased with a small smile, taking a moment to munch on a pizza roll. He felt more alive and at peace than he had in the weeks since Dean had disappeared. Between Jade and Parker, it was almost like having a family again. Not that there was any almost to it with Jade. She was family. And Parker wasn't quite family, obviously, because you didn't have moderately kinky multitasking sex with family members. He hoped. He didn't, in any case.

"You're not rusty," he said. "These binoculars just kind of suck." He couldn't wait until they were able to go back to their regular jobs without insulting customers or spouting thievey secrets to them. As much fun as spying could be, he actually missed his job. Huh...weird.

He looked through the binoculars for a little while, then shook his head. "Texting," he said. "Not cheating. You just like her ring. And I do not blame you there. If I were a girl...or more into cross-dressing...I'd totally want to steal that." He paused. "We don't actually need a reason to steal it, as long as we don't do it here."

Parker's pout returned, although it lost some of its oomph with one of her cheeks poking outward a bit thanks to the pizza roll in her mouth. She tilted her head to the side and looked back through the binoculars at the woman (or rather the woman's ring) in question. "Nah," she finally decided. She pulled the binoculars away and gave a shake of her head.

"Stealing it when she hasn't done anything would be bad," she stated in a tone that made it clear she was simply repeating something she'd been told before. She understood the general concept behind the statement, of course, but didn't completely agree with it. It's not like she was considering stealing from a group of orphaned kids or something.

"Maybe she'll lose her hand in a freak roulette accident. Then we can claim finder's keepers," she considered. One corner of her mouth quirked upward into an amused grin at the thought before she looked to Cas once more. Pulling a flask from a pocket of the light jacket she was wearing, she flipped the lid up with a twitch of her thumb and raised the flask to her lips. It wasn't much, because even Parker knew that sitting in the rafters and getting drunk wasn't a good combination, but it was enough to take the edge off at least.

A swig of the whiskey inside later and she held it absently out for him to take before peering through the binoculars and back down into the crowd.

"Ooh," she breathed, perking up a little and leaning precariously further over the edge of the beam upon which she was sitting. "Check out the 80's reject at the Blackjack table. He's a card counter if there ever was one. And dressed that tacky, he's got to be worth at least six figures. No one poor willingly goes out looking like that." Absently picking up another pizza roll, she bit it in half and began chewing thoughtfully as she watched the man in question study the dealer's deck.
