The noise shifted as Fleur stepped free of the gambling portion of the casino into the rambunctious gaming theatre. Arcade games beeped and screeched with wild abandon, beckoning ponies to come spend their bits for a chance at prizes, or just to entertain themselves.

That kinda reminded me of

"--Star studded mares!" finished Flim with a grand wave as confetti exploded outwards from them into the passing crowd. "Come on in. Play with them--"

"Play against them!"

"Play alongside them!"

Can I do all three? :derpytongue2:

"You were right!" There was that mare from earlier. "It's turned around!" She displayed her cards to Fleur before slapping them down.

She was in charge, and that was exactly where she wanted to be. The curtains pulled up, revealing their eyes, their thunderous approval. She bowed to them gently, the cheering only growing louder. So much louder than they had ever cheered for Eric. She began to saunter across the stage, her horn flashing with the display beneath her hooves that exploded upwards in a show of power and bedazzlement.

Sorry for commenting so much, but this is just a golden opportunity for using most of these.

"--Dis Lee!" came an announcer's voice, filtering through the heavy curtain as Fleur stepped out to the clops and cheers of the ponies that had gathered to see her. Some of them had come specifically to see her, to witness what she bought for them.

A few other older ponies patted Granny on the back, apparently in agreement in the good fortune of her pull. Good, that meant they'd go off and play games. She had done her part. Fleur turned away from the crowd as the curtains began to fall. "Give it up for Fleur De Lis, spreading the magic across the stage!" boomed the announcer as she went as quietly as she came.

i sense an error, here.

Not that kind of error! :facehoof:

You should make a group or something for stories of this type, since you've written a bunch of them.

Meanwhile, in Canterlot...

Fleur de Lis: *slamming down a newspaper* Fancy, we are going to Las Pegasus and finding out why a Changeling is using my looks and my name as part of a stage show.

Fancy Pants: *glances at article* I shall call our lawyer, my dear.

Some were far louder cries of passion and bliss from a pony, sometimes two... One sounded like more than two. She colored faintly, but pressed on past it.

A knocking stirred Fleur from her thoughts. She hopped gracefully onto the bed and sank down on her belly, clearing her throat softly. "Qu'est-ce?" she called. Little sprinklings of Prench were a part of her image, what ponies wanted to see, to hear…

After all, her name IS Fleur de Lis.

"Silly thing," she gently repeated. "Eager to get to things? That is a stallion for you, hm?"

Act first; ask questions never? No, wait, he did ask first.

Not what I expected but I can't be angry

I just noticed the Luna tag and that the story was marked incomplete excited to see whats next

"You ruined my streak!" Luna was glaring at… Luna. "I don't need you announcing my moves as I do them!"

"We are the announcer." The other Luna inclined her head. "That includes what you are doing, especially when you begin to gather attention."

Okay, that reminds me of something from my childhood.
(One Google search later...)
Wow! I actually didn't expect that i would find this, but here it is after all.

"Always a pleasure." Sunset began shuffling the cards held up in her magic. "Lady Luck is a fickle mare. If you can catch her eye, she'll shower you in all the riches you ever wanted."

Then again, she's just as likely to leave you... held down by a tree, or spmething.

"Just the way." And she got to mixing. Long John was very particular. But he also tipped if you got it right. He was a reliable source of extra bits, which Sunset was not shy about earning it as she plunked down the glass, not a drop of the drink spilling. "Just the way you like it."

One more - you'll have to zoom in for this one.

"Here ya go!" Apple Bloom was just as overwhelmed as the others, hurrying order after order into waiting hooves as quickly as she could.

"This isn't my order."

Apple Bloom slapped a hoof to her face. "Right." She grabbed the tray and swapped it to another pony. "Be right back!" and she dashed into the back.

Apparently what Bloom is playing is Diner Dash.:ajsmug:

Any excuse to escape that crush was a welcome one. "Je suis sur l'affaire," she called in reply, working her way towards one of the staff hallways.

"Perish the thought." She perked an ear. "Somepony's coming. Someone crude."

"Ladies." Flim had arrived, knocking on the door. "We need everyone out on the floor. Today's quite the busy day."

Tavi has him pegged. :ajsmug:

"Tired is not the precise word I would select." Octavia looked over Fleur in kind. "Aren't you?"

Nine letters, starts with E?:ajsmug:

Side note: I'm using that emoji a lot this chapter
Side side note: Sorry if I'm being bothersome.

"Not the time," warned Octavia. "You are clearly in pain, and we will address it, as friends. Now, in." She pointed to the door leading to their room. "And let's start from the start, as they say, hm?"

You're enjoying the story, which is the point, no?

Sunset as a bartender.
*looks around for a certain door*
If she's actually Isekai, she's here to try and fix the shenanigans that Flim & Flam are up to with these Displaced.

10943732
I can only vaguely tell what you are referring to, alas. I think I saw the front cover of that story? Never read it.

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/441859/sunsets-isekai

In short: Sunset has a bar that travels the multiverse.

10943742
Yep, that's the cover I saw.

Ummm it might just be me or is anyone else thinking that flim and flam are slipping memory altering drugs into the staff's food?
I think I'm thinking too darkly.

*Princess Luna, the actual Princess Luna, barges into the casino, along with a squad of Royal Guards*
Luna: GUARDS, SEAL THE EXITS! NOPONY IS LEAVING UNTIL WE HAVE THE ANSWERS WE SEEK! We summoned Flim and Flam. They did not come to us, so we have come to them, and we are not pleased at needing to do so.

10943730
Yeah; it's interesting.
I am getting the feeling that I might know the twist, though.

10943811
That you're actually a dragon in equestria enjoying fanfiction, completely unaware that the internet is actually cross dimensional and you're actually talking to weirdo huuuumannss?

o.o

10944156
... As much of a shock as that would be... No. :ajbemused:

Put shortly, I'm getting the imprerssion that should a client overspend and owe The House a significant amount, they become one of its new "staff members", like Fleur, Apple Bloom or Gamer Luna, there. Hence the story's title.

Am I warm? Or am I coming down with a case of Apophenia?:unsuresweetie:

Also,

The ACTUAL Applejack bursts into Flim & Flam's office, hogties the two of them, and starts dragging them away.
AJ: Using a copy of myself, and one of my sister, not to mention a bunch of other ponies in one of your scams? You two have gone too far this time. Don't try talking your way out of it.

Elsewhere, Fetlock laughs as she counts her bits. Another satisfied customer.

Sunset nodded along. "Just because we were dealt a raw hand doesn't mean we can't ask for a few new ones." She thrust a hoof in the air. "Face the dealer, but you're not alone."

Flim and Flam should count themselves lucky that it is just their employees they are dealing with.

Though, them even thinking to keep an Applejack around... they must be using something pretty powerful to keep her from both leaving AND from smashing them to pieces.

Will there ever be an explanation of why there are 2 lunas

10964744
Yes, though hints are already given.

10964982
Ah but I am reading this at 10:48 PM. :facehoof:

10964982
I've seen plenty of hints and is now waiting patiently to see if you manage to tie them together, or if some brain turbulence caused you to add the wrong hint, or get it backwards. (Happens to me all the time but usually fixed in editing.) :twilightsmile:

"NO BONUSES?" shouted many of Apple Bloom's co-workers when they were told the new wages.

I'm surprised they didn't try the: "The rich and powerful demand of us to hire their useless nieces and cousins for outrageous salaries or they shut us down." defense.

At least I can give thumbs up properly, like I remember it. Good story. :)

This is getting truly bizarre.

10974403
I'm not sure yet. I find it a bit hard to follow, but that might improve over time.

Everypony I bet they are going to give Everypony 30 bits per day and I don't mean Everypony as them I mean 30 bits collectively

Hope this makes sense

Spoilers

I just looked at the tags and realised it's human to pony is one of the lunas from another world??

10975061
Wiill be interesting to see FlimFlam role in this instead of various semantic tricks.
They seem somewhat oblivious too.

More spoilers
Yeah, Human tag is to be expected as ponies rarely wear leather belts with their jeans.

I just realized why is celestia here?

10982662
She is a mare, like the others, working in the casino. Her specialty is security detail. She keeps her little ponies from making trouble.
