Word Count: 458
Summary: It's a card game in purgatory…
Rating: R - Language
Warnings: None
Notes: Alan is one of my favorite characters, I've got a lot for him written down, but it needs sort of polished. All you need to know is that Alan's best friend Carl signed his soul over to the devil and that purgatory is actually Las Vegas. You all should remember Liam.

**Please add "story: the devil is a gentleman" and "story: war cycle" if you can!
