A Dazzling Game of Uno

Short drabble about Sun, Moon, and Razzle in an enthralling game of Uno below the cut.

Word count: 1,380

“Uno”

Razzle leans back in his chair, folding one pair of arms behind his head, the other pair resting on the round table in front of him, clasped atop his last remaining card. Groans broke out from the two bots surrounding him as they stared at the blue four sitting on the pile of cards.

“There’s no way you can be this good at Uno. You must be cheating.” Grumbles Moon while throwing his few remaining cards face down in frustration. He looks off to the side, frowning while ignoring Razzle’s smug grin.

Sun slouches forward in accepted defeat, rays flaring slightly as he adds on, “Yeah! This is the fourth time in a row.” 

“Now, now.” Razzle’s soothing voice cuts through the whines of the celestial pair, “You would accuse me of cheating in my own casino?” He quirks an eyebrow at the two then gives a slight chuckle. “And at Uno much less. Now, I'm not one to cheat but I’d certainly never do so in my favorite game.” Sun groans lightly in frustration, running his hand over his face and rays while Moon only crosses his arms and narrows his eyes. 

Razzle leans in slightly, uncrossing the arms behind his head to prop his faceplate on his hands. His grin stretching wider by the second. He waits a beat before speaking, squinting his eyes playfully, he taunts. “Look boys, I haven't won yet. Sunshine, it's your turn.” 

Eager to get the crushing defeat over with, Sun haphazardly lays down a card at random, a green four. Suddenly Moon perks up the slightest amount before smoothing his expression back to the disgruntled look he wore seconds before. Nonchalantly he places a green card on the top of the deck while making direct eye contact with his ever-so-slightly taller brother. 

“Skip.” 

Razzle tilts his head in response, unbothered. “Prolonging your loss, Moonlight?” He looks over at their solar brother, “Well, It's back to you Sunshine. I hope you’ve still got some fire in you, It would only be fitting.” Sun rolls his eyes at Razzle’s tease, instead focusing on the cards he has and the cards he hopes Moon has. 

Typically, counting cards would be a sin in gambling, but this was a friendly match between brothers. All of them have perfect memory, as animatronics, so they let themselves indulge in card counting. This time. Sun runs the calculations, the possibilities of what his brothers’ cards could be, and hopes that he can set Moon up in a way to foil Razzle. Even if he doesn't win, at least he can have the satisfaction of knocking his youngest brother down a peg. 

Hoping that luck was in his favor, Sun places a wild card and calls the color red. He knows Moon has a red, but it is uncertain what Razzle’s last card is. Even knowing the cards in play can't guarantee the final color. All attention falls on Moon. He silently thanks his solar counterpart for setting him up. Moon holds his last three remaining cards up as if contemplating a move he already has planned before placing down a red reverse. Two sets of optics flick to the solar animatronic. Sun straightens his back and gives a sneaky grin, his rays turning slowly. With a quick flick of his wrist, He deposits a yellow reverse card on the top of the stack. 

“Having fun ping-ponging your turns?” Razzle asks, amusement coloring his voice. He rhythmically taps his fingers on the table and then shifts his piercing gaze to Moon. “Let's hope you have something more interesting up your sleeve, hm?” Moon lets out a soft chuckle, shuffling his two remaining cards idly in his hand before replying, “Nah, I don't have any other fancy tricks, just wishing on a miracle.” 

Moon plucks one of his cards and gingerly places it. A red zero. He cooly looks up at his brother, anticipating a defeat, but hoping for a win.

“Uno.”

Razzle lets his gaze slowly travel over his two brothers. His grin doesn't falter. He doesn't need to look at his card to know it's a winning card. He simply tilts his head and flicks his rays in a circle before reaching out to grab a new card from the deck. “Well,” Razzle cooly directs towards Sun. “It's your move.”

“OH! OH!” Sun exclaims excitedly, his eyes opening fully and brightening. “Oh Moon, we’ve got him!” He shakes his hands around lightly and his rays spin with vigor. Moon looks over at Sun and his grin quirks up a bit at the edges, assured in his victory. His raspy voice drifts out, “Hold on there Sunny, it's still your turn. I haven’t won yet.” Sun quickly calms his composure and settles on a passive grin. 

Taking a deep synthetic breath, Sun trilled, “Ok, ok! I'm calm. Oh, I hope this card works for you.” 

Pretending to pick at his fingers, Moon nonchalantly replied. “Whatever card will do, Sunny, as long as there's no negative effect.”

Razzle glanced over at Moon, voice box crackling to life. “You better not be going out on a plus four. That's against the rules you know.” The two bots held each other’s gaze for a beat before Moon casually leaned back in his chair, red eyes gleaming with amusement. He replied, “I’m well aware of the rules, Razz. Don't get your wires in a twist.”  

Razzle let out a short chuckle and shook his head lightly, turning back to Sun, waiting for the next play. Both his sets of rays slightly pulling in and out in a lethargic pulsing pattern. Sun gave a bright energetic smile that only he could give before vigorously slapping a red nine down. “Ok!” He proclaimed, “Moony it's up to you!” Moon took his time drawing out his well-earned victory. He sat up in his chair and swept imaginary dust off his ruffled baby blue button-up. 

Turning first towards his bright older brother, he saw Sun swaying in excitement as he anticipated Moon to win in this brotherly game of Uno. Moon felt a fond wave of affection for the one who had been with him all his life and gave him a confident grin before turning towards his younger brother. Razzle might be hard to read while in the middle of a game, but Moon knew him well enough to see the love and pride hidden in his seemingly unbothered expression. He was proud of them, not just about the game, but for how far the three of them had made it, together.

Moon gently reached towards his final card and flipped it over revealing a wild card. He placed it on Sun’s red nine and stated. “I win.” 

Sun immediately stood up and rejoiced, “FINALLY! Oh thank goodness Moony, you did it!” he turned towards his youngest brother adding on, “Razzie you know I love you, but it certainly is disheartening to lose so many games in a row.” He playfully narrowed his eyes at that. “Of course, you wouldn't know that, you hardly lose for long.” Sun began to tut at him while playfully shaking his finger. Razzle stood up as well, the rounds of games ending for the night. He chuckled lightly and replied, “You’d certainly be correct on that, so let us end the night on a high for you two.” Crossing his lower set of arms while the upper rest on his hips he gave a genuine smile and tilted his head towards his darker brother.

“Moonshine.” He praised, “Good game.”  

“A good game indeed.” Came the low-toned reply.

Moon was enjoying his victory, a smug grin plastered on his face, foot tapping to some unseen song, arms crossed in triumph. Razzle hadnt seen him look so pleased in quite a while. Building up to Moon’s win had definitely made it all the sweeter. And golden Sun, he was just as ecstatic as if he himself had won, not their lunar brother. His rays spun wildly and his eyes shone with excitement. Sun could hardly contain his joy as his body shook and swayed. He’d throw any game if it meant they were happy.

“Come on then,” He announced while turning to leave the private room, “ We’ve got a casino to run.”

Head in hands. 'I Spy' with Pulp is such a banger for Zor. It's giving me the urge to finally think about designing them (+ redesigning a couple others..). There's something so good abt some of the lyrics like: "you see I spy for a living // and i specialise in revenge // on taking the things that i know will cause you pain". Like....likee.............

Theres earlier parts that also make my brain tick: "it may look like to the untrained eye // im sitting on my arse all day // I'm biding my time until i take you all on // my lords and ladies, i will not fail // i will prevail, cause i spy"

PLUS the name. That did not help the situation. Alas Different Class by Pulp 🤝 IEYTD Characters. Similar can be said about the Chicago soundtrack but thats a. Whole other ramble

When asked how she was securing the base camp for her settlement while out trying to recruit, Charlie simply explained that she had friends watching the derelict hotel.

Angel wasn’t sure what to expect when she called out for Razzle and Dazzle so she could introduce her new guests and staff, but it certainly wasn’t some hellish mash-up of a Giddy-Up Buttercup and a Mr. Handy, painted hot-rod red. Even Sir Pentious seemed taken aback at the dangerous looking toys.

Wrapping one of the robots in a hug, Charlie happily told them about how her father had made Razzle and Dazzle for her as a child. 

Flamethrowers and buzzsaws are essential tools for babysitting, obviously. Integral to Lucifer’s artistic vision.

What’s the cast’s opinion on croissants?

Never tried one

They’re nice? It’s been a long time…

Tasty! I don’t mind them…

✨Croissants✨

I like to stuff them with uh, chocolate and then put sprinkles and it’s really good!

They’re kinda meh, but Gemi likes them!

(Earth is not available right now.)

They’re okay.

W-why? (<- doesn’t like them but doesn’t wanna upset anyone)

What are croissants? (<- has never been on Earth long enough)

We like blood!

Ugh, everyone knows that bloody.

But-

Shut up harvest.

(OMG I’M CRYING I tried to answer this earlier and it DIDN’T WORK! 😭😭)

You just know that while Hell would have freaked out over Charlie dying, Heaven would be too spineless to do the same for Adam unless Lute initiates it.

Just goes to show the way Adam and Charlie are parented. One loves their kid enough to destroy reality. The other only cares about her job.

hey. Group Member definitely isn’t in love with me right. i didn’t mean to overthink anything last night but as we all know it can happen. am i the biggest asshole on planet earth or can we confidently say i’m too off putting for anyone to be into. if you guys were in a group with me. and i sometimes argued with you about stupid shit and other times acted like you were my favorite human being in the universe. and consistently did freak shit. and you let me cheat off you for multiple homework assignments without me even asking. and i referred to our film that only i wrote as “our” baby not including the third person in our group. and you always offered to walk with me to my car when you literally live on campus. if that was you what would you think of me
