Here's Chapter 10 guys! This chapter is gonna be a random list of some of the holidays and misadventures that happened in the Erma Comics and Strips along with some made up stuff that I'll add in as well.
The ending is gonna be around Erma's Birthday Party and the discovery of the gift sent by her Grandfather Osamu.
Anyway, let's get this show on the road!
Chapter 10: Misadventures, Holidays and a Birthday Party!
Painting a Landscape
At Blairwood Forest near a lake, Victor watched Amy and Erma paint part of the landscape on their Canvases.
Amy's painting was pretty good, she nailed down the details of the landscape to an extent and he suspected that Amy could become a painter when she was older.
Erma on the other hand….
Her painting of the landscape was the exact opposite. While pretty good, her version of it had a lava lake with a Volcano in the background, a muddied ground with zombie hands sticking out and a skull to the side complete with bat demons flying under a darkened red sky.
Bob Ross would either be proud of her or probably terrified.
Guess she didn't want to paint some happy little clouds huh?
How it all Began
"Hey guys, Have the both of you ever thought about how the world began?" Said Amy to Erma and Victor as the three of them walked through the woods.
Erma didn't say anything while Victor pondered about the question for a while.
"I mean, the possibilities of what happened are endless ya know." Amy continued speaking, not noticing Erma spider walking up a tree while Victor looked on with curiosity and amusement.
"On one hand, there's the Other World like Entities that could have created the world instantly with but one snap of their fingers. On the other hand, there's the groundbreaking Evolution of Genes and other Scientific Discoveries like Vaccines and Cures for Diseases and Disorders." Amy finished as she noticed Erma come down a tree with a squirrel in her mouth while Victor resisted the urge to laugh at the scene.
Amy just huffed and smirked. "Of course knowing you two. I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with Magic and the Forbidden Knowledge of the Great Ones."
Victor shrugged his shoulders and smirked. "Who knows, maybe the world used to be full of deep fog with nothing to see but Crags, Giant Archtrees and the powerful Immortal Dragons that lived on them."
Both Victor and Amy laughed at the joke while Erma swallowed the live squirrel.
Ghostbusters get hugged
Victor considered the scene before him to be funny as hell and just plain adorable.
Why do you ask? Well, this group of guys in grey jumpsuits called the Ghostbusters had showed up in Blairwood this morning claiming to be there to study Ghosts and other Paranormal stuff.
Victor didn't think much of them and thought they were a bunch of weirdos who had nothing better to do with their spare time.
Well anyway, Erma for no reason at all, decided to hug one of them. A Doctor Peter Venkman if he remembered who had an annoyed yet resigned look on his face when the half-Ghost Girl hugged him.
It was almost as if the doctor was hugged by Ghosts before and this situation was nothing new to him.
"Oh that's just great. Another hugger." He heard the doctor mutter to himself.
"That may be, but it's possible that you may have a pacifying effect when it comes to ghosts especially the younger ones." Said a man named Doctor Ray Stantz who was wearing goggles over his eyes and was taking notes with his pencil and notepad.
"I'm getting some rather high levels of cuteness and happiness from the P.K.E Meter! Could she be a Stage 3 Cudder perhaps?" Theorized the man named Doctor Egon Spengler who had a concentrated look on his face as the strange device in his hands beeped rather frantically when he hovered it over Erma.
Were all these guys doctors or something like that?
"Oh sure that's great guys. Hey, y'all want to take a picture of me and the black and white ghost spawn while you're at it?" Venkman said sarcastically.
"Good idea Doctor Venkman! Visual evidence will help prove if this little girl is a Geist or even a Spook." Exclaimed Doctor Spengler.
"I need a vacation or a stiff drink." Venkman said to himself.
"Hey come on now Peter. She's just a kid and a sweet one at that. Besides, how much trouble could a little ghost girl be?" Said a dark skin man named Winston Zeddemore who smiled and chuckled at the scene before him.
Venkman just groaned at that statement.
Thanksgiving Dinner with the Family
Thanksgiving Dinner with Sam's Family was an interesting experience.
Sam's Mother Pamela was quite the cook and had a warm smile on her face when they showed up just in time, but not without a little bit of guilt tripping to Sam who took it all in stride with a smile.
It was quite nice and funny to see Michael and his family again considering he and the Williams brought along Church and Siris with them.
Little Emily was quite happy to see him and Erma again and gave both of them quite a hug.
"Hey Victor, nice to see yeah again considering what happened last time." Greeted Michael who was talking to a man in a striped shirt.
The man introduced himself as Freddy Williams.
"So you're Victor that Michael's been talking about. Also, what happened last time? Was there some sort of problem?" Said Freddy in a curious yet concerned tone.
Both Victor and Michael told him about the Hunting Trip that they went on when Michael and his family went to visit them. Suffice to say, the Hunting Trip ended when they had to deal with a savage Wolf Pack led by a feral Hellhound.
Freddy was amazed and couldn't believe they made it out alive and unscathed.
"That reminds me Victor. I got you a keg of beer even though I didn't owe you anything I still felt rather guilty about what happened on the Hunting Trip." Said Michael as he showed the Good Hunter the rather impressive looking Beer Keg.
All in All, the Thanksgiving Dinner was pretty good along with the beer.
Silent Hill Hijinks
Victor was walking through this fog ridden town known as Silent Hill cursing up a storm and looking for Erma.
Why do you ask?
Well it all started with him and the half-ghost girl walking through Blairwood Forest and somehow going through a portal in reality, ending up in the fog forsaken cursed town to begin with and getting separated due to the fog.
Thankfully or ironically enough, the strange creatures in the damn town didn't bother him and even went out of their way to avoid him.
With the exception of those strange nurses who wore bandages around their faces. They seem to have taken a liking to him and would either watch him wander around town or slowly follow him before stopping.
Other than that, they didn't bother or attack him.
It was almost as if these strange monsters knew what he was to begin with.
Anyway back on track, Victor was getting sick of this damn town as it reminded him way too much of Yharnam to begin with. He was worried for Erma as well, but knew she could handle herself in a foggy world town like this one.
He almost felt sorry for the monsters in this town, but he could care less about them and was more focused on finding the half-ghost girl.
He did encounter some human inhabitants of the town as well, but they were some crazed religious fanatics who tried to attack him on sight claiming he was the "Agent of the Demon" or some crazy bullshit like that.
They didn't last long against his Saw Cleaver.
While he didn't worry about the monsters in this town, he was worried about the religious fanatics and hoped he could find Erma in time in order to leave this fog town before they found her.
Suddenly, a loud siren blared out of nowhere and the sky darkened to a reddish color. Victor was soon teleported by something or someone to what looked like the basement level of a hospital. The walls of the basement were rusted looking, there were a couple of meat hooks hanging from the ceiling and what looked to be trash, debris and dried blood everywhere.
He soon heard giggling and the laughter of a small child coming down from the corridor. He quickly headed down to where the source of the noise got louder and what he saw made him chuckle a little.
Erma was being given a piggyback ride from a masculine looking creature that was wearing a butcher's outfit with said outfit looking like it was made from human skin and a helmet over its head that looked to be a large pyramid of sorts. From looking at the Pyramid Head creature's body language, it clearly wasn't expecting Erma to be so rough with it, judging from its slight slouching and groans coming from it.
Oh, there were also two of those weird Nurse creatures standing nearby with one having bandages wrapped around its head while the other one's head was a bit large looking and bubble shaped. They both seemed to be making a chuckling noise, finding in amusement at the scene before them.
Deciding to take pity on the Pyramid Head creature, Victor called out to Erma and told her that they needed to get going. Erma pouted, but complied. She got off Pyramid Head's back and hugged him along with the Nurses. The three creatures were surprised at the hugs, but enjoyed them nonetheless.
Soon, Victor and Erma made it out of the hospital and were instantly teleported back to Blairwood Forest by some unseen force. They went home as it was getting dark, not noticing a little black-eyed girl around Erma's age hiding behind some trees and giggling to herself.
"Those two were such fun, especially the Hunter of Yharnam himself. I hope to see them again the next time they stumble across one of my portals to Silent Hill!"
Burning an Evil Dead Book
Victor looked at the scene before him with an unamused expression.
A little while ago, he and Erma had decided to visit Erma's Great Uncle Ashley "Ash" Williams and help the guy get rid of an old magic book he had in his possession called the Necronomicon.
Everything was flying everywhere and the moose head on the wall was making funny faces and screaming randomly.
As for Ash, well he was dancing randomly and laughing like a maniac with a cloth covering the stump of his missing hand. What happened was that his girlfriend Linda became some type of Demon called a Deadite and tried to kill him with a chainsaw.
Luckily, Ash managed to overpower and decapitate her with a shovel. However, her decapitated head bit his right hand and he had to cut it off with the chainsaw so he wouldn't become a Deadite as well.
The hand was now roaming around Ash's house somewhere.
As for Erma, well she found this experience of theirs to be fun and danced alongside Ash. She was laughing and giggling at the chaos being caused around her,
Victor on the other hand, decided that fun time was over and grabbed the floating Necronomicon in the air and burned it with Eldritch Fire.
The burning destruction of the Evil Dead book caused things to go back to normal somewhat, but at least objects weren't floating around the house anymore.
Before he and Erma went home, Victor turned to Ash and said. "Next time, don't keep any books that involve Necromancy or Demons from an alternate dimension."
Ash had the decency to at least look sheepish and agreed to it.
Christmas, Gremlins and….Krampus?
Twas the Days before Christmas and the Williams Family was decorating the tree, with the final piece of a star going on top from a floating Erma.
"Well done Erma." Said Emiko with a smile as her daughter floated down from the tree.
"Uh Honey? Are you sure that the tree is stable? Said her husband Sam in a concerned tone.
"Of course. Why?" Said Emiko curiously.
"Well…." Said Sam as he looked at the tree that had a menacing face and had him tied up in its own branches. It was growling as well. "I'm just afraid that some of the ornaments might fall off. That's all."
Victor glared at the tree as it tried to tie him up as well and he held the Piercing Rifle rather close to its eyes. "Go ahead, you overgrown weed. Try anything and you'll get yourself an early pruning!" He warned the tree as it hissed and glared at him before letting Sam go.
They soon went to the mall to see Santa Claus, or in Victor's opinion, some fat drunk slob who dressed as a Santa and made small children uncomfortable.
Victor didn't really care much for the Winter Holiday.
"You ready Erma?" Emiko said to her daughter who was excited to see Santa Claus at the mall. "Well then, go on." She encouraged her.
As Erma went up to the Mall Santa and sat in his lap, she began to get a good look at him and didn't like what she saw. The Mall Santa asked her what she wanted for Christmas and when she didn't say anything he began to get aggressive and yell if she wanted anything or not.
That freaked Erma out and the Mall Santa was soon wrapped up like a Kinder Egg with ribbons and wrapping paper.
"Okay….We're obviously not coming back here for a while…." Said Sam as he held Erma in his arms and they soon left the mall.
"Guess that Mall Santa had too much Eggnog huh?" Said Victor as he snickered when he saw what happened to the Mall Santa.
Never trust Mall Santas kids!
The Next Day
Victor and Erma went around the neighborhood doing some Christmas Caroling. They were soon joined by these weird green creatures called Gremlins who sang off key and were rather mischievous little troublemakers.
Victor thought they were hilarious especially when they scared that old crabby lady Miss Deagle.
He never did like that old bitch.
Christmas Day
Victor awoke early in the morning hearing a noise downstairs so he went to investigate with Saw Cleaver in hand.
What he found was quite interesting.
Erma had a bowl of fresh double chocolate chip cookies in her hands and was offering them to a large, dark furred demonic goat creature. The goat creature had a befuddled and surprised look on its face at the offering before it, almost as if it never had cookies given to it before.
Nonetheless, it felt thankful and ate some of the cookies which brought a smile to Erma's face.
What Victor found more interesting was the large brown sack that laid before the goat creature. Its contents seemed to be moving and it opened, revealing two children who ran away to the door and outside the house running away to who knows where.
Wait? Was the second one Terry?
"Hey Erma, Merry Christmas!" Said Victor as he walked towards the half-Ghost Girl and the Demon Goat. Erma's smile grew brighter at seeing her friend up while the Demon Goat looked at him with a surprised and wary look.
"So who's your new friend? He's a little too hairy to be the fat jolly man himself." He joked which caused Erma to giggle at the insult towards Santa Claus while the Demon Goat laughed and talked in a demonic tone.
"I am Krampus! The demonic antithesis to said fat jolly man and the dark side of Christmas!" Said the now identified Krampus who finished laughing and had a genuine smile to his face before talking again. "So you're the Hunter of Yharnam that Sam's been talking about during the meetings? I must say, I have never met a being such as you with so much power and wrath."
Victor raised his eyebrow at the mention of Sam. He guessed that was the name of the spirit he had met during Halloween Night.
The two talked for a while with Erma listening in. Soon it was time for the dark side of Santa Claus to leave, but not before telling Victor that he'll be back next Christmas for another talk with the Good Hunter.
Victor agreed with that.
Soon, it was Christmas Morning and Sam and Emiko came downstairs to begin opening presents.
Victor got some hunting magazines, heavy metal music cds and some antique knives.
All in All, it was quite an interesting Christmas Holiday for the Good Hunter.
Underwater Cities and Little Sisters
Another step into an unknown portal of reality, only this time Victor and Erma were in an Underwater City of sorts that looked like it had seen better days.
And for some reason, Erma wandered off to who knows where out of curiosity when he wasn't looking.
So he went looking for the half-Ghost Girl, all the while avoiding falling debris and killing what looked like the remaining human population behaving like drug addicted zombies.
He soon found some Audio Logs that told him what this place was and what went on as well.
Apparently, this Underwater City was called Rapture and was founded by a man named Andrew Ryan who was disgusted with the Government Policies on the surface and wanted a place where there was Free Market and that the Greatest Minds of Humanity wouldn't have restrictions placed upon them by the Government.
To Victor, it sounded like the guy had a huge ego and didn't want to be told what to do by those he considered to be inferior.
However, it soon came crashing down due to the discovery of a miracle drug called ADAM found in a species of Sea Slug that gave people superpowers like Fire or Electricity. Downside was they got addicted to said miracle drug and became zombie-like creatures called Splicers.
What he really found repulsive was the use of Gatherers called Little Sisters who were created to gather the ADAM in the dead bodies of people. The little girls were genetically altered and mentally conditioned along with having one of the ADAM Sea Slugs implanted inside of them in order to produce more ADAM that would be harvested which resulted in the death of the Little Sister.
Some of those girls were around Erma's age.
If he found one of the people that were involved in the creation of the Little Sisters and if they were still alive, well he would probably run his Saw Cleaver through them.
Victor soon found Erma in an area called the Farmer's Market. She was playing games and singing with some of the Little Sisters. Despite their ghoulish pallor and glowing Yellowish-Green eyes, he could admit they were adorable looking and one Audio Log did mention that they still behaved like little girls even after the genetic altering and mental conditioning.
Erma saw him and rushed over, hugging him and giggling in the process.
"Yeah Yeah, giggle all ya want you overgrown oreo." Said Victor as he rolled his eyes at her antics. "You really shouldn't be wandering off alone in places like this due to structural damage and crazed drug addicts." He warned her and she at least had the decency to look somewhat sorry.
Suddenly, He felt multiple tugs on his pant legs and looked down to see that the Little Sisters had gathered around him and looked at him with curiosity.
"Hi there mister! Are you Erma's daddy?" Said one of them. This particular Little Sister had Reddish-Blonde hair and Orange-Red eyes instead of the usual Yellowish-Green.
"No, I'm more of a family friend or a brother of sorts to her." He answered truthfully.
The Little Sister hummed to herself, not really paying attention until an idea came to her and she giggled about it.
"Want to play with us? Big Sister and Mr. Bubbles are usually busy with repairs so they don't have time to play." The Little Sister said hopefully with big wide eyes and the other Little Sisters did the same thing as well along with Erma.
Victor sighed, knowing he was outnumbered and agreed to play with them which made them giggle and cheer in happiness.
A short while later, Victor and Erma found a portal in reality which led them back to Blairwood. The portal was soon closed by a young looking Noir woman who smiled at what she saw previously.
"Well, I guess the Lutecs were right with this one." She said to herself. "Who knew the Tears could let something….so powerful in without any excess damage being caused."
Saint Patrick's Day
Over a rainbow, Victor and Erma found themselves a large pot of gold.
However, the Pot of Gold's original owner. A grumpy and vicious looking Leprechaun who sounded like he was from the ghetto part of the neighborhood wasn't having it today and threatened the duo with bodily harm if they didn't give him back his gold.
Ironically enough, Victor wasn't having it today either and cut up the Leprechaun Hood with his Saw Cleaver and instead of seeing blood spray everywhere, it was instead Lucky Charms.
They were magically delicious.
Rosemary's Baby
Victor and Erma went over to Rosemary's house a few towns over. Rosemary was one of Sam's cousins and she announced over Social Media that she had a baby a few days ago.
However, she was having some problems with the baby so Sam sent Victor and Erma over to her house to check up on them and to see what was going on.
Victor knocked on the door and out came Rosemary, looking quite harried and nervous looking.
Oh, and she was also holding a kitchen knife for some odd reason.
She quickly led them inside and upstairs to the baby's room.
When Victor and Erma got a good look at Rosemary's Baby, it was clearly obvious that the baby wasn't human. Judging by the red skin, yellow-red eyes and miniature horns atop of its head. However, despite its demonic appearance, it behaved like any other baby as it gurgled, cooed and waved its hands at them.
Erma seemed to like the baby, judging by her cooing and waving at it.
Victor turned towards Rosemary who clutched the knife in her hands tightly as she stared nervously at the demonic child before her.
"Miss Rosemary. Despite its obvious demonic appearance, the child is behaving like any other baby to begin with. My advice is to give it plenty of attention and to keep any religious stuff away from it."
And with that, Victor and Erma went back to Blairwood. A few days later on Social Media, Rosemary gave an update that things were good and she revealed that the baby's name was Asriel.
Easter
"Hey Erma, Hey Victor! How's the Egg Hunt going for you two?" Said Sylvia as she saw Erma and Victor walk towards her with their Easter Baskets in hand. They were also wearing matching Easter Bunny Costumes.
Victor even had a carrot in his mouth.
Both showed Sylvia the large number of eggs that they had managed to gather and she was quite surprised they had gotten so much of them.
As they went back to show their large haul to others, Sylvia asked them where they got the Bunny Costumes.
She didn't notice the two skinned bodies in the bushes, both of them suspiciously looking like large bunny-like men.
Workshop Tea Party
Somehow, Erma got herself into the Workshop in the Hunter's Dream.
How did she get there to begin with? Maybe it had to do with her connection to Victor.
She was being watched over by Annabelle the Doll and was behaving quite well for the porcelain looking woman.
That was until some Messengers came out of curiosity and thus a Tea Party was started.
It was this exact moment Victor came to check up on the Workshop and found the scene before him to be amusing.
At a small table, Erma was having a little tea party with the Messengers. Tea Cups and everything! Hell, the Messengers even had little top hats, monocles and handlebar moustaches.
It was pretty damn cute and silly in a dark and macabre sort of way.
Dinner with the Addams Family!
Victor and the Williams Family got an invitation to Addams Family Manor for a Dinner Party of sorts from Gomez Addams. Apparently, Sam and Gomez were College buddies back in the day and this Dinner Party was to see how the both of them were doing these days.
Along with one fact, an Addams always cherishes their friends and considers them to be family.
Dinner was quite an interesting affair and macabre in a certain way. Sam and Gomez talked about what they did with their lives, Emiko and Morticia complimented each other's looks and fashion sense while the children stared or smiled at each other deviously.
With the exception of Wednesday Addams who just stared unblinkingly with a deadpan look.
Victor found the scene before him to be interesting and amusing. Despite the Addamses being creepy, spooky and oh so ooky. They seemed to be an ordinary family who held an eccentric love for the dark and macabre.
They even treated their friends like family and Victor was no exception.
Like the Williams, Victor found himself with a good and understanding group of people.
Hazbin Hotel Hangout!
They say that third time's the charm, but Victor wasn't amused by the fact that he and Erma had unknowingly stepped into a portal of reality for the third time and ended up in a modern looking Hellscape.
He reminded himself that he should train in sensing portals that send you to other worlds or strange realities.
Thankfully or ironically enough, they popped up near a rundown looking Hotel called the Hazbin Hotel.
The name itself was kinda amusing enough. Like, why would there be a Hotel in Hell of places? Did the Demons need a break from whatever they were doing or did they needed rehabilitation?
Either way, he and Erma went inside the building.
A moment later
The interaction between them and the inhabitants of the hotel was….quite interesting.
"Aww! She's so cute and adorable!" Said the tall blonde haired demoness who resembled a clown or a puppet in Victor's opinion, was currently hugging Erma and pinching her cheek which made the half-ghost girl giggle at the attention she was getting.
"What the fuck is a little girl doing in Hell of all places?" Said a Spider Demon that was white furred with pink details and was looking at Erma with a perplexed look on his face.
"Angel Dust! Don't swear in front of the little girl!" Yelled the pastel goth looking Moth Demoness at the now revealed Angel Dust who just shrugged his shoulders.
"Relax Vaggie. Besides, get a look at the tall, dark and grumpy looking bastard who came in with the kid." Said Angel Dust as he pointed towards Victor who just looked at the demons with an unreadable expression. "Is it just me or does his energy have a similar vibe to Alastor's?"
"Angel Dust my dear effeminate fellow! Are you comparing me to this young Eldritch God in human form?!" Said the static voice of the Radio Demon Alastor, a Deer themed Demon who obviously had a thing for red and who smiled in a way that made the Good Hunter reach for his Saw Cleaver.
How the fuck did this strawberry looking deer knew what Victor was?
"Hey Hey! No fighting you two! Niffty just cleaned and I doubt she'll be happy that the both of you made a mess." Said the blonde demoness as she sat Erma down on the ground and looked towards Niffty who just smiled deviously at Victor and giggled. "Oh and I haven't introduced myself. The names Charlie Magne, founder of the Happy now Hazbin Hotel and Princess of Hell." Said the now named Charlie as she held out her hand to Victor for a handshake.
Victor shook her hand back in return. "My name is Victor. The little oreo you were hugging is Erma Williams." He said as he pointed towards Erma who just waved with a happy little smile on her face.
Charlie smiled back. "So tell me Victor. How did you and Erma end up in Hell in the first place?" She asked curiously.
Victor just sighed. "We ended up here through a portal that we stepped into and had no idea it was there to begin with." He answered, but then added. "For the third time and we need to get back to Blairwood which is a town on Earth."
That made the Demons chuckle at the stepping into unknown portals more than once thing, but some like Charlie were concerned about it until she heard about them being from Earth.
"Really?! You're from Earth!" Said Charlie rather excitedly. "What's it like? Didn't Alastor say you're an Eldritch God? How are you able to be on Earth in the first place? Is it because you're in your human form? Is Erma also a human or is she some type of Demon…." Charlie was soon shushed by Victor who's eyes now glowed an unnatural red from feeling irritated and annoyed by this damn clown demoness.
Was she always this damn excitable and talkative?
"Would you kindly shut the hell up?!" Growled Victor before he continued. "What I am concerns me and me alone! Me and Erma just want to find a way out of here and get back to Blairwood! So, would you kindly show us a way out of here or are you gonna keep on rambling?!"
Victor's angry outburst made Charlie stutter and back up a bit which made Vaggie angry and point her spear at the Good Hunter, but all that did was cause him to glare at her and reach for his Saw Cleaver.
The tense situation made Erma frown and feel worried, that is until a certain Radio Demon decided to intervene.
"Now Now, no need for fighting!" Said Alastor trying to keep the situation calm, but you could tell from the smile on his face that he was enjoying this type of entertainment.
"As much fun as it would be to see how strong this young Eldritch God is. Like you just said Charlie, Niffty wouldn't be happy at the mess being caused from the outcome and I don't think that all of Hell would survive Victor's rage!"
That statement seemed to have diffused the situation a bit as Vaggie and Victor lowered their weapons somewhat, but they were still glaring at each other.
"Wow Al, you really are hyping this guy up and making him seem like a big deal huh?" Snarked Angel Dust as he saw the scene before him.
Although, it really amused him that there was someone else who managed to get under Vaggie's skin and not be intimidated by her bullshit.
Alastor ignored Angel Dust's snarky remark and turned towards Victor, still smiling. "Now then Mr. Victor! You mentioned that you wanted to find a way for you and Erma out of here and back to this Blairwood town on Earth?"
Victor nodded cautiously while Erma tilted her head slightly.
The grin on Alastor's face became wider. "Well then that's perfectly easy! I myself am a master at Portal Creation and Spatial Warping. So it would be quite simple for me to conjure up a portal to send you and your young friend back home!" He said as he snapped his fingers and a portal appeared in front of Victor and Erma.
Victor eyed it warily as he didn't exactly trust someone like Alastor to keep his word. However, beggars can't be choosers so he trusted his instincts as he held Erma's hand and they both went through the portal which actually did send them back to Blairwood.
As Alastor closed the portal up, a Cat Demon named Husk awoke from his booze induced sleep.
"Hey, what the fuck did I miss? Why the fuck is everyone gathered around?" The drunken cat asked curiously.
Alastor just waved him off. "Nothing of interest my dear Husker. Just going over some plans for future developments of the Hotel of course!"
That made Husk nod and he went back to drinking some cheap booze.
As the other Hotel inhabitants went back to doing their thing. Alastor just smiled and thought to himself.
"Well that was quite amusing to watch. Such a shame that Victor didn't stay. That young Eldritch God and his little friend have quite the potential to become future OverLords, if they had desired to do so."
"But alas, the show must go on as they say and Victor must play his part in Japan once that old Tengu sends his gift to Erma on her birthday and then the potential entertainment will be quite amusing to watch."
"Now….stay tuned."
Gone Fishing
On a large boat in the middle of a lake. Victor, Sam and Michael were fishing, chatting about and drinking some beer.
So far they weren't catching anything, Sam and Michael caught some small fries and released them since they didn't have much meat on them.
Michael made some jokes about Victor catching a shark or even a kraken on his first try.
Considering Victor's unusual luck regarding handling wildlife, it could happen.
Suddenly, Victor's Fishing Rod hooked something….something possibly big judging how the rod was bending.
The Good Hunter tugged and reeled in his line the best he could. What he caught made Michael laugh while Sam just sighed in amusement.
Victor had caught a large Bull Shark. How it got there no one knows, but considering the lake was connected to a tributary that fed into the Mississippi River, it was a possibility that the shark swam upstream and got lost somehow.
Either way, it made for a good fishing story during dinner.
Happy Birthday Erma!
Today was Erma's birthday, she was turning 9.
The party was awesome! There was candy, soda and a whole lot of cake.
Friends and Family congratulated the birthday girl and gave her birthday hugs.
Her cousin Emily gave a whole lot to her.
As gifts were being given to Erma. Victor noticed that Emiko looked a little shaken for some odd reason.
He just chalked it up to stress from setting up Erma's Birthday Party.
However, when he went into the kitchen to get Erma another present. He noticed a burned tag in the trash.
The tag had Japanese Kanji on it and from Japanese Language Lessons with Emiko, he could somewhat understand what it read.
It read, From Grandfather to Erma. Happy Birthday!
He put it out of his mind until the end of the day and talked to Emiko about it.
She seemed guarded about the tag, but did admit that it was from her father Osamu.
"Well then, guess we just have to wait and see if anything else is gonna be sent by him as well. Right?" He asked curiously which Emiko nodded as a yes.
For Emiko, it was gonna be a long possible week or month of watching for anything unusual sent by her father.
For Victor however, it was much different. His eyes glowed an unnatural red.
It was a waiting game with new prey.
After all, a Hunter must Hunt of course.
The Hunt was on!
(End of Story/Author Notes)
Oh boy, another long one. Either way, hope you guys enjoy reading this one because Victor and Erma got themselves into a whole lot of misadventures due to those pesky portals in reality that take you anywhere.
The monsters in Silent Hill never bothered Victor and even went out of their way to avoid him because they knew that he wasn't human and instead something that shouldn't be messed with. The nurses on the other hand thought he was interesting and either watched him or followed him around to a certain point, but that was about it. So both Victor and Erma had nothing to fear in the foggy town since neither wasn't human or fully human to begin with. With the exception of those religious nutcases from The Brethren, but those guys didn't last against Victor.
Victor and Erma got out of Silent Hill without any problem because Alessa was mostly curious about Victor and wanted to see what he was capable of.
If anybody on here has seen Hazbin Hotel or even Helluva Boss, then you know that Alastor is quite the schemer and it will make you think that he had something to do with Victor and Erma's Dimensional Hopping. As much as the Strawberry Pimp would love to take the credit for it due to the Entertainment Purposes, the guy had no part in it. Also, considering that Alastor has Portal Creation as one of his abilities, I'm pretty sure he could leave Hell and come and go to anywhere as he pleases so maybe he has knowledge about Victor and what he is as well.
Alastor may be a deal maker, but even he knows better than to mess with someone like Victor.
Eldritch Beings are well known throughout the Multiverse/Omniverse so certain people are bound to know when a new one is born or created.
Osamu made his move by sending a birthday gift to Erma so you and your monkey's uncle know that the game is on. However, the "Family Reunion" in Japan will have to wait as the next chapter will have Victor dream and experience the respective powers of the Chaos Gods from Warhammer. He'll also see the experience and history of the Holy Moonlight Sword along with its human form. What does the sword's human form look like? That's a secret.
