I’m revisiting the AA Borderlands AU and I have determined yet another thing about the bullshit that is Phoenix getting his hands on a piece of the second Vault Key and that is:

Phoenix didn’t even have anything of substance to bet against Kristoph in the poker game. Kris has the actual fucking Vault Key piece and Phoenix is like “oh yeah I’ve got a truckload of Eridium and the location of a mine - yeah you know that Eridium stuff that came into existence when the first Vault opened. Super useful stuff. I’ve got a bunch of it.”

He does not have a location. He does not have a truckload. He has like two unrefined chunks the size of a fist and those aren’t even his. They’re Miles’. Phoenix doesn’t even know if this shit is useful. The Vault opened less than a year ago at this point. Phoenix bluffed his way into the game and his only plan for losing is to fake his death. His entire plan is bullshit.

#if youre wondering why kristoph would even take this bet #considering none of them really know what eridium does yet - there is a lot more that phoenix is not telling when he retells this story #the fact that he won the game and the vault key but wasnt betting anything of substance?#that’s all true still. there was just some other stuff going on #which is true for at least half the characters in this au #athena’s probaby the most straightforward of everyone bc she doesnt really have reason to hide anything about her and her mom and simon #meanwhile phoenix and apollo and klavier are each just a dozen lies stacked on top of each other pretending to be a person #aa borderlands au #i am trying to plot this thing and it is not making mich progress so far so heres a shitpost
