Frank Collins and Don Hanover

Your dad and you reach the chosen game room at the same time as a tall man with a bit of a crooked mustache and red nose was arriving. It was Frank Collins, owner of Collins’ Chattel Palace, a franchise of stores specializing in custom characters though you can still buy base characters.

“Hey Franky, how’s the wife?” Your dad shook his old friend’s hand and patted his shoulder. Frank Collins was wearing a gaudy yellow and purple outfit with ‘Poker King’ written on the front.

“She’s at the Lagoon with her friends,” he replies smiling. The Lagoon was a nightclub/lounge where patrons can get temporarily transformed into a merperson and enjoy drinking and dancing underwater. The waitresses and waiters were mermaids, fishmen(from One Piece) or other aquatic themed characters. It was one of the premier places to be in town.

“I’m sure Kev is glad for her patronage,” your dad chuckles.

“I’m more worried she’s going to come home with another mermaid in her trunk!” Frank and your dad start laughing, recalling that incident. While they were laughing you looked at the girls that Frank Collins brought along with him. He had a Batgirl from the New Batman Adventures and when she smiled at you, you could see fangs.

He also had a Blake Belladonna from RWBY who also had a matching cat tail instead of just her cat ears. He also had a Suki from Avatar the Last Airbender and a Rayla from Dragon Prince though you couldn’t find any extra features. Frank Collins also had a few Kyoshi Warriors with him though since they were not wearing copies of Leia’s **** girl outfit, you figure they are his guards. You wondered where they were during the crash/fender bender he was in.

“And this is my youngest, James,” your dad says, finally introducing you to Frank Collins.

“We already met,” Frank replied as he shook your hand. “I was taking Lily on her first driving lesson when she bumped into a Rein Corp Van. Everyone was alright, just a bump or two.”

“Well that’s good,” your dad said though he did flash you a look saying he wants to talk about it later. “Anyways, do you want to pull a joke on Roge?”

“What kind of joke?” Frank asked as we finally walked into the game room and Collin’s bet characters were put in their respective pen next to yours.

“Well, Hoofer had an altercation with James a few days ago over that Wonder Woman over there. He went into one of his rages I’m told,” your dad explains as Frank gave Diana an appraising look.

“She is definitely beautiful, especially in that feathered lingerie.” Diana had on a bra/bikini top that was white on the left and blue on the right and was feathered. On her lower half was a feathered scrap of fabric held up with fishing line.

“She also has one of Hoofer’s prototypes and he wanted her back after Lester threw her out,” you explain. “He doesn’t know who I am.”

“And you want to see how long it would take for him to figure it out,” Frank deduced as he set his briefcase of money on the bar counter. “I wondered why the hallway suddenly had portraits with you in them.” You pause and walk over to the hallway and Frank was correct, several paintings were replaced with pictures and portraits of you and your siblings.

“So are you in?” Your dad asked while sipping on a glass of bourbon.

“Hell yeah I am, Roge could use a good joke.” We talked a bit longer while the other guest arrived. You were surprised to see Don Hanover arrive; Don Hanover was the CEO of Reintegration Corp. Hopefully, he doesn’t have you fired when take his characters from him. You gave a long look at the characters he brought along. He had all the girls of the Rookie 9 of Naruto: Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and Tenten. He also had a Temari and they were all wearing color coded panties and tube tops with X’s over where their nipples would be.

He was friendly, even giving you a bear hug with his great strength and lifted you off the ground. He agreed to hide your parentage from Hoofer until he figures it out himself. While you got to know Don and Frank, your dad’s selection of characters came in to enter their respective pen. A Zelda, Malon, and surprisingly a Callie and Marie from Splatoon; other than a few inklings and Octolings, he never buys any of the main or side characters of Splatoon.

Your dad noticed your surprise and whispered to you, “they are the wedding entertainment so I suggest making sure they stay in the family.” You nodded at him and continued looking at them while your girls chatted with the other characters. Soon the final guest arrived, Hoofer…
