Courtyard Droll/Clubs Deuce

## Clubs Deuce

Hearts Boxcars, subordinate

**Clubs Deuce**, referred to in short as **CD**, is a Dersite exile from the beta trolls' session. He is a member of the Midnight Crew.

## Profile

### Appearance

Deuce is extremely short and stout and has a black carapace.

### Personality

Clubs Deuce is a simpleminded, carefree carapacian. However, despite his innocence, he seems to have no qualms with the gangster lifestyle and readily assists in gunfights with The Felt and the murdering of many of their gang members.

Deuce has poor memory . This makes retrieving items from his deck of cards difficult, as he cannot remember which cards correspond to which items. His poor memory is also shown when, while following a trail of blood, he gets distracted by a nearby clock. After examining the clock, he spots the blood trail again  and decides to follow it, having forgotten that that was what he was doing in the first place.

Even though he is supposedly the Crew's explosives expert, he doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable about them, as he did not know C4 is a stable enough explosive to not detonate from gunfire .

Deuce does not seem to share his leader's hatred of clocks, and in fact seems to have an appreciation for them. He considers the clocks in The Felt's mansion to be lovely .

### Don't Bleed on the Suits

* Deuce is dispatched to part of The Felt's mansion  as part of Spades Slick's plan to break into Lord English's secret vault .
* Deuce captures Doze and ties him up for interrogation . He swaps their hats  to try and get under Doze's skin.
* Itchy appears and unties Doze , as well as swaps around everyone's hats. Doze is now wearing his own hat, Itchy is wearing Diamonds Droog's hat, and Clubs Deuce has Spades Slick's hat. Clubs Deuce stomps on Slick's hat om accident.
* Droog tries to find which of his playing cards contains his spare hat. He accidentally puts C4 on his head  instead. Afterward, he does find his spare hat, and puts it on over top of the C4 .
* Droog radios Deuce for backup , telling him where Trace will be in the future and to go there to catch him. He starts heading that way.
* On his way there, Deuce gets a call from Hearts Boxcars  requesting explosives at the vault. Deuce says he'll be there after he helps out Droog with the Trace situation.
* Deuce arrives at the location specified by Droog . Trace is there, as expected. Trace punches Droog's past trail and walks off, not realizing Deuce was there. Deuce follows Droog's instructions: he leaves Doze tied up  with an explosive under his hat . Deuce forgets that Boxcars needed backup and follows Fin's blood trail instead.
* Deuce follows the trail not knowing Droog is also trailing him from a stealthy distance .
* Deuce finally reaches the end of the blood trail in Stitch's shop. He bursts in, threatening Stitch with the C4  under his hat. Stitch is unimpressed, telling Deuce that C4 is a stable explosive and that Stitch's gun won't set it off. However, while Stitch is distracted, Droog sneaks in behind him . He jumps Stitch and stuffs him inside the Brawlsoleum .
* Droog and Deuce force Stitch at cane-and-gunpoint to create effigies of Spades Slick and Diamonds Droog  using their backup hats. Deuce and Boxcars can't get effigies yet because Stitch doesn't have their backup hats on hand. Slick says he has Deuce and Boxcars' hats (Deuce's because Itchy give it to him and Boxcars because Slick has the Wrathtub of a Boxcars from another timeline) and he's on his way.
* Droog and Deuce make their way to the secret vault  with Stitch in tow. They try to free Boxcars by shooting up the crowd of Eggs and Biscuits temporal doubles, to no avail.
* Slick bursts in and impales Stitch . He destroys Eggs's egg timer, removing all of the temporal doubles.
* By prying open the vault with the crowbar , Slick is sent to a highly unfavorable timeline where everything is destroyed and everyone is dead except for him and Snowman.
* Biscuits quickly retreats into his oven  to escape into the future. Deuce puts an explosive in the oven primed to explode when Biscuits emerges.
* Clubs Deuce's fate after Slick is sent to the highly unfavorable timeline is unknown.

## Trivia

* The text on this page  says "Whoever took your hat is about to discover he's the unluckiest man on earth". This text should rather say "atlernia", as the Midnight Crew are exiles from the trolls' session of Sgrub.
