Lucky golden Flame (Kitsune TF)
🕑 Added 2025-08-30 21:00:02 +0000 UTCYou’ve made up your mind.
Tonight’s the night you finally check out the casino everyone won’t shut up about. “Lucks Out Casino”, the name alone always made you raise an eyebrow. Bold. A little tacky. But if your friends are to be believed, it’s one of the most dazzling spots in town. They told you stories of bright lights, fancy drinks, velvet everything. Some of them had walked away with an extra hundred. Some with a little less than they came in with. That’s the dance of the gambler, they said.
But they all agreed on one thing: It was fun.
And now, it’s your turn.
You smoothed down the front of your outfit, elegant, but not overdressed, and stepped onto the main walkway that led to the casino’s gold-glass entrance. The glow from inside cast flickers of red and amber across the sidewalk. You could already hear the cheerful jangle of machines and the soft pulse of bass-heavy music behind the heavy glass doors.
You take a breath in. Then out. One foot forward, then you pause.
There it is. That voice in your head. Loud. Persistent.
"Don’t gamble. Bad idea. Waste of money. Stupid risk. You know better."
You frown slightly. Just fifty bucks. Not your savings. Not your rent. Just pocket fun-money. But still, your hand lingers mid-step.
Then, as if summoned by your hesitation, a figure drifts into your peripheral vision. You turn.
A woman stands just off to the side of the walkway, leaning lightly on a tall cane with a crystal orb affixed to the top. Her outfit was strange, somewhere between high-fashion goth and fairy tale sorceress. Wide-brimmed pointed hat, velvet cape, embroidered bodice. Not cheap party store stuff… This was couture-level cosplay. A little much for a Friday night, maybe.
She smiles at you. Not wide. Not fake. A knowing, almost serene expression.
“You look like a winner to me,” she says. Her voice is soft, but it cuts cleanly through the air. “You’re going to win tonight. Great fortunes. I guarantee it.”
You blink. Her eyes, just for a moment, flicker with a glint of gold that isn’t a reflection. And then you catch a whiff of something strange but... pleasant. A smoky floral perfume, like incense left in the rain. It curls in your lungs. Calms something.
Suddenly, the hesitation is gone.
The doubt, the conscience, the second-guessing, it all slides away like water off glass. You smile politely to the strange woman, maybe even nod, and without looking back, step through the tall glass doors into the Lucks Out Casino.
You’re only going to spend fifty. Just to see what it feels like.
Right?
Inside, it’s even more luxurious than you expected. Chandeliers glitter overhead like starfields trapped in crystal. Velvet carpets muffle the clack of heels and the jingle of winnings. The air hums with movement… soft jazz, clinking glasses, murmured conversation just loud enough to feel important.
You stroll past the usual games. The rows of blinking slot machines beckon with their bright desperation. Poker tables with their stone-faced regulars. Craps with its chaotic buzz and the sound of dice dancing on felt.
But none of them call to you.
Roulette does.
It’s not even flashy. One table. A few seats taken. No line, no wait. Just a smooth rhythm, the spin of the wheel, the rattle of the ball, the easy click of fate deciding where it will land.
You sit.
The dealer greets you with a curt nod. Dark brown eyes. Polished demeanor. You place your first bet, a single chip on red, low stakes. Just to feel it.
He spins.
Red.
You win.
That was fast.
You shrug, amused. Beginner’s luck, maybe? You try again. A different bet this time. Bet on black. Why not?
He spins.
Black.
You win again.
You blink. That’s... statistically unlikely. But not impossible.
Then it starts.
A strange warmth trickles down your spine, low and steady, as if someone had poured heated silk down the middle of your back. You shift slightly in your seat, glance behind you… but nothing’s there. And yet... something is.
Your thoughts start to float. Not in a dizzy way. More like you’re sinking gently into a velvet cushion. Warm. Supported. Content.
There’s a brush against the back of your arm.
You look… and nearly jump.
A tail.
It’s a tail.
Fluffy. Brown, shimmering and fluffy with a soft fade to white at the tip, not too different from your hair color. Foxlike. Wagging lazily behind you as if it’s always been there.
You feel like you should panic. Scream. Check if you’re hallucinating.
But you don’t.
Instead, a wave of calm rolls over you, thick and slow like honey. Your heartbeat evens. You feel... good. Focused. Lucky. And strangely, undeniably motivated.
You look up at the dealer. He’s watching you now, brows slightly knit. There's something odd in his expression… concern, maybe? Or awe? For a second, you could swear his brown eyes flicker gold, like candlelight in a dark room.
But then he blinks, and they’re just brown again. Normal and human… probably.
You offer a faint smile and push forward another stack of chips.
Anyway.
More gambling.
Obviously.
You haven’t gambled much yet, really. A couple small bets. Enough to dip a toe in.
But now?
You feel bold.
You slide thirty-five dollars into play. Not a fortune, but a little more meaningful. You place it on a column bet. First column.
Then pause.
Your hand hesitates, just for a second, then moves, seemingly on its own, shifting the chip to the second column.
Why?
You couldn’t say. It just felt right. That column hummed with something. Subtle and intuitive. Like it whispered “Here.”
The dealer gives a nod and spins.
The wheel rattles, spins, ticks.
The ball dances, bouncing, skipping, slowing… then clicks into place.
14.
That's in the second column.
You win.
You exhale in surprise, already reaching for the payout before you feel it, that warmth again, but deeper now, fuller. This time it comes with a rush of pressure along your lower back, and then…
Fwump.
A second tail bursts forth.
Brown again, like your hair. Thicker. Denser. Its plush surface brushes against your legs as it stretches wide, and to your astonishment, your first tail swells with it, bigger, fluffier, longer. Both wag once in slow unison, the sheer weight of them enough to press gently into the chair behind you.
Your skin tingles.
Your heart skips.
You’re on a roll.
The dealer watches you closely now, lips pressed into a thin line. He offers you a new kind of bet, something that's a step up from what you did before. A six-number pick. If the ball lands on any of them, five times the payout.
You nod, instantly intrigued. You lean over the table, eyes scanning the numbers like they’re written in a language only you understand. Six of them shine like tiny lights in your mind:
7. 13. 17. 23. 27. 33.
You don’t know why, but those feel right. Like they belong to you.
The dealer spins the wheel again. His hands are steady, but his expression isn’t. His brows knit. His jaw twitches. As the ball whirls, his golden eyes flicker again, sharper this time. But his mouth stays shut.
Clack. Clack. Click.
27.
Another win.
Another rush.
Another tail.
It sprouts out, strong and full, seamlessly joining the other two, which fluff up again in response. Three enormous brown tails now sway behind you, each thicker than the last, impossibly plush and warm. They curl around your legs and press against your back like a living throne.
You giggle. Actually giggle.
You don’t care how strange this is. You feel amazing.
So lucky.
So fluffy.
You glance up at the dealer just as he pushes your chips toward you. “Are you… alright?” he asks, voice low and tight. His eyes flicker gold again, but this time, you’re not sure if it’s your imagination or if the lighting in the room just shifted.
Either way, you barely register it.
Because as he speaks, a syrupy wave of bliss spreads through your chest again, and your fingers are already reaching for the next set of chips.
You’re winning.
You’re transforming.
You’re not sure which feels better.
But you can’t wait to play again.
The next bet you find is smaller. Simpler. A five-number pick.
“Adjacent numbers only,” the dealer reminds you, his voice now oddly strained. “One cluster.”
You shrug, barely listening. “Twenty-nine through thirty-three,” you say without hesitation.
The chip hits the felt.
The wheel spins.
You don’t even watch this time with nervous anticipation, you already know. The ball clatters, spins, stutters. It slows near 28…lingers
—then gives a tiny final hop.
29.
You squeal.
Actually squeal.
It bursts out of you, pure delight, your body rising from the chair in a joyful little bounce. You spin in place, laughing, not noticing, or caring that everyone’s staring. Your chip pile triples instantly, and that’s when it hits you.
You’d just gone all in.
Every chip you had.
And won.
The rush is unlike anything else. Your chest buzzes, your thoughts fizzle, and with a rush of warmth and pressure, your fourth tail blooms from your back. It unfurls slowly, the size of a blanket, its thick brown fluff shimmering faintly in the casino’s dim gold light. The other three tails puff larger with it, crowding behind you like the folds of a royal cape.
But that’s not all.
You gasp as a strange pressure rises in your skull. A tingling shift. Your ears—
—lengthen.
You feel them stretch and move, slowly sliding upward, climbing your head like they’re chasing the light. Their shape changes, narrowing, sharpening, and though you know it’s strange, though you should panic—
You don’t.
You can’t.
Not with that giddy, weightless thrill filling your lungs. All you can think about is the next game.
You slap down more chips, your eyes already locked on the next option. Corner bet. Four numbers, grouped. Better odds than the last one. And again—
All in.
Why not? If you lose it all… oh well! But if you win…
You don’t even hesitate.
You drop the chip on 4, 5, 7, 8. No logic. No math. Just pure instinct.
The wheel spins.
You bounce lightly on your heels, your massive tails twitching behind you in anticipation, fluffing up so thick they spill over your chair and onto the carpet. You’re half-standing now, half-sitting on them like cushions. You don't notice. You don't care.
The ball slows…
5.
Jackpot.
You scream, high and delighted, and leap straight into the air.
And don’t come down.
You hover a foot off the floor, held aloft by the massive tails now bunched beneath you. There are five of them now. Five majestic, powerful, thick like tree limbs, but soft and flowing like river foam. They cradle you like a throne, lifting you with ease.
Your ears finish their transformation, reshaping into full fox ears perched atop your head. Brown-furred, twitching, expressive.
But honestly?
You don’t even remember having human ears anymore.
You’re glowing.
Eyes wide, hands twitching with the urge to bet again. Nothing matters now. Not the chips, not the crowd, not the unreal size of your tails or the soft rustling sound they make as they move behind you.
You're ecstatic.
You have to gamble again.
From the edges of your vision, movement stirs.
Security.
Three of them. Tall, uniformed, clearly coming toward you.
But when the first steps within reach of your aura, whatever aura you're throwing off now, his eyes flash gold. Just for a moment.
He stops.
Turns.
Leaves.
The other two do the same. Each approaches, hesitates… and then turns away as if they suddenly forgot what they were doing. One of them even pulls out his phone like he’s checking the time.
You are untouchable.
And that’s fine.
Because you have chips.
You have luck.
And you have another game to play.
The dealer barely finishes explaining the next bet before you’re already moving.
“Street bet,” he says. “Pick a line. Three numbers—”
Your chip drops with a satisfying clink.
16, 17, 18.
“That’s a line,” you murmur to yourself with a small, dreamy grin.
The dealer blinks, hesitates… then spins the wheel.
The ball clatters. You don’t even flinch. You’re not nervous anymore. You’re not even thinking about odds. You just know.
Click… clack…
16.
You burst. A squeal of pure joy escapes your lips as your whole body floods with victory. You bounce, but there’s no need to leave your new throne, because your tails catch you. Again.
With a rush of tingling pressure, a sixth tail sprouts and fans out behind you, rich brown and as thick and fluffy as the rest. And all the others grow with it, bulking up, fluffing outward, swelling until they seem to breathe around you. They’re not just fluff now. They’re furniture. Comfort. Support. You’re completely cradled by them, lifted slightly above the seat.
Honestly?
Who needs chairs anymore?
You wiggle a little, reveling in the soft bounce of your new tail pile. A tiny giggle slips out of your mouth. Your cheeks flush, not from embarrassment, but from raw, delighted energy.
Then you spot them.
Up by the stairs, near the security booth. Three guards.
They’re pointing. Talking. One of them is on the phone. Another takes a photo of you. Then, in a rush, they leave the floor entirely, disappearing through a side door.
You blink slowly, trying to make sense of it.
But you don’t.
And more importantly, you don’t care.
You just want to keep playing.
And this?
This is where the real gambling begins.
The split bet. Just two numbers. No room for extras. The kind of thing you don’t do unless you’re either reckless or psychic.
You place your entire stack, again, on two numbers.
2 and 35.
The dealer hesitates. “You don’t want to do 36 instead? Most people—”
You raise a finger and smile at him. “I’ve got a good feeling about thirty-five.”
He doesn’t argue.
He spins.
The wheel screams softly as it slows, the ball ticking over each metal groove like a countdown to something sacred. Your tails twitch in anticipation, fluffing like sails in a rising wind.
Click. Clack. Bounce…
35.
You squeal, arching back, tails wrapping around your sides like joyous arms. You’re bouncing again, but now it’s effortless. Your tails are massive. With the arrival of number seven, each one now easily surpasses your entire body in size, rippling and flexing with soft, lazy strength beneath you.
They lift you several feet off the ground now, forming a living, breathing throne of brown velvet fluff. A spectacle. An absurd, luxurious, impossible cushion.
But something else is happening too.
The table… looks taller.
No… you feel smaller.
Your legs dangle a little more than before.
You glance down at your hands. They look daintier somehow. Your sleeves hang looser at the wrist. Your whole frame… just slightly smaller. You feel lighter.
Except in a few very specific places.
Your bust, for example. Definitely not shrinking. In fact, your tight top is struggling now. So is your skirt, fighting valiantly against the swelling curve of your hips and the outrageous roundness of your butt.
And of course… your tails. Always your tails. The stars of the show. Growing. Expanding. Cradling. Hiding more and more of your form as they swell, seemingly fueled by every win.
You should be alarmed.
You should be many things.
But you’re not.
You’re just…
Blissful.
Victorious.
And desperately, wildly excited for the next spin.
The dealer looks at you slowly, like he’s not entirely sure you’re real anymore.
“The last bet,” he says, voice faint and dry. “The bonkers one. Straight up. One number. Only win if it hits exactly that number.”
You tilt your head, eyeing the table, then the ball. Your tails shift beneath you, lifting you gently higher, almost letting you float toward the table like royalty on a cushion of clouds.
You close your eyes.
You breathe in.
Then you reach out and tap your chip down.
7.
The lucky number.
Of course.
The dealer’s hand trembles slightly as he spins the wheel, but you’re already grinning ...no, smirking, a cocky, confident little curl on your lips you didn’t even know you could make.
The wheel spins.
The ball dances.
You barely watch.
Because you already know.
Click… clack…
7.
Boom.
Your chip stack erupts. It multiplies so fast you swear you can hear the sound of towers of wealth rising around you. You could build a fortress out of your winnings. A castle. A temple.
But the real prize?
Your eighth tail explodes from your back, fanning out wide behind the others. Massive. Each tail is now easily twice the size of your entire body. You sit high above the table now, floating on a throne of lush brown fluff, tails rippling and swaying like banners in an invisible wind.
You are the casino’s queen.
And you want more.
But then… movement.
From the edge of your vision, security returns. Not just them, but her as well.
The witch cosplayer.
The one who greeted you at the door. She’s being half-dragged, half-walked between two large guards, her arms held tight.
“You promised you wouldn’t do this again, Morgana,” one of them snaps.
“She can’t keep hijacking our house like this.”
“Every time it’s a new target.”
You hear the words, but they’re just noise. Just sound. Like the clatter of chips or the jingle of slot machines. Your eyes are still on the table.
You lean forward.
“Double bet,” you purr. “Two balls. Both have to land on zero and double zero to win. Both.”
The dealer visibly pales. “That’s… That’s a one-in-thousands chance—”
His eyes flash gold.
He stops arguing.
He sighs. Defeated.
Reaches beneath the table.
Pulls out the second ball.
The wheel spins.
And spins.
The witch, behind you, scoffs.
“Fiiiiiiiiine. I’ll break the spell,” she says, loud enough for everyone to hear.
You don’t even turn.
Because you know.
Clack.
Click.
Clack.
Click.
0.
00.
You smile, just as you feel it, the final, ultimate rush.
Your ninth tail erupts from your lower back, massive and proud, spreading behind you like a soft explosion. All your tails surge in size again, their weight and warmth curling around your body. They envelop you like a throne, a gown, a cocoon of endless, triumphant fluff.
But then—
A hand on your shoulder.
Warm.
Feminine.
And suddenly—
Everything stops.
Like a switch flipped.
Your breath hitches.
The golden light in your mind, the electric, humming glow of confidence, power, luck… goes out.
Your heart beats once.
Then again.
And for the first time in… how long has it even been? You blink.
The haze begins to lift.
The world stops sparkling.
You slump forward slightly, awareness crashing into you like cold water. The thrill drains. The joy fades. The high collapses.
You feel empty.
Confused.
Like someone blew out a candle inside your chest.
The guards are still yelling. The casino owner has appeared now, red in the face, shouting something at the witch, Morgana, about financial ruin and legal threats and “This is not how we settle grudges!”
But you’re only half-listening.
The dealer, still pale, now no longer golden-eyed, doesn’t even speak. He just gestures wordlessly, almost politely.
And you follow him.
Tails dragging behind you, impossibly huge, brushing velvet paths behind your quiet steps. Each one is warm, soft, real. But now they feel heavy. Awkward. Visible.
The doors open for you.
Cool air outside.
Neon lights flicker in puddles on the sidewalk. The street feels too quiet, too normal.
You sit down slowly on the pavement, your nine tails sprawling around you in slow-motion waves.
You’re a millionaire.
Or maybe more.
You have nine massive, almost four-meter-long fox tails, twitching slowly under the city moonlight.
And your mind is finally catching up.
The full scope of what happened is only just now being unraveled in your thoughts.
Your lips part.
Your voice cracks a little as the words tumble out, too soft for anyone but you to hear:
“…What the hell just happened?”
—
If you can't stop winning in the casino, then maybe you are cursed. Or blessed. Or a kitsune. Or all of the above.
