Charlie and 'Alastor' arrived back at the hotel, the princess with a smile on her face as she greeted the other inhabitant,"Hey guys! We're back! Alastor and I just finished putting up the posters!"
Vaggie frowned,"What took so long, hon? It's rather late, you what I've been back by now…"
"I know I was late, but I prime it was for a good reason. Al and I were putting up posters in our own separate areas when some wolf demon and his friends approached. I tried advertising the hotel to them, but they laughed it off and made fun of me. They then got mad at me for putting the fliers up in 'their' turf and told me to leave. One of them even took a bit out of the remaining posters in my hand.."
"Hon, I'm sorry-"
"But don't worry! Al made me a new replica of my posters so we spread those around once the guy was dealt with…"
"Dealt with? What do you mean by that? Did you go full demon on his ass?" Angel asked.
"What? No. Of course not. Al did a little talking and he apologized to me after being threatened with death…."
"Figures," Vaggie mumbled.
"Honestly you guys should've seen it! Alastor did this weird magic trick where lightning started striking as volts were crackling off his body. It was kind of scary in a awesome way."
The fusion tensed,clenching their staff tighter,' Dammit, she just had to mention that part didn't she?' There went any hope of no one noticing their new power set...
"Lightning?" Niffty asked,"Since when could you control electricity, Al?" She and Husk had been working at Alastor shortly after their respective deaths in the 50's and 70's. In all her years, elasticity was something Alastor had never wielded in his move set.
They quickly wove another lie onto the story,"Just recently. We acquired a book and while it didn't initially peak our interests, we did find some useful things in it."
'We are so burning in hell for the amount of lies we're telling…'
'We already are...' Alastor pointed out.
'Fair point. Though I'm better than you.'
'What? No you're not!'
'Yes I am!'
'No you're not, Vox!'
'Am too!'
'Am not!'
'Am too!'
'Am not!'
The fusion put his hand on his head,'Somebody make them stop…'
"Hey Al? You're zoning out again."
"What? Oh sorry. We're just a bit distracted, thoughts come up now and again and it can be a bit overwhelming from time to time."
"Is your head hurting or something?"
"You could say that," They replied,"We suppose it's just a minor headache, a troublesome one at that."
'Hey! We're not a headache,asshole!'
The fusion cringed at Vox's screech,'Gods, they are so loud…'
Alastor scoffed,'We can hear your thoughts you know…'
The fusion rolled their eyes and their components banter. It was like listening to your parents argue, except they weren't his parents, they were a part of him and they didn't shut up…
"Can you show us?"
"We'd rather not…."
"Aw come on, Smiles. Ya can't just let Charlie say ya did something and not expect us to not be curious! At least give us a small spectacle. Just some proof Charlie ain't pulling this outta her ass."
They silently groaned ,"If we do this will you leave us be?"
"Sure."
"Alright then. Prepare yourselves, because now we're playing with power!"
They summoned a light blue ball of electricity in their palm, holding it up in the air for the others to see. The other inhabitants of the hotel watched in awe, the ball convulsing with raw energy and power. Despite it being so small, it was enough to cause everyone's hair/fur to blow back and bolt particles were crackling and fizzling.
'Holy shit…' Husk thought,'Since when the fuck could he do that?'
"Woah…" Nifty trailed off, her one eye wide in amazement.
The fusion allowed the ball to go up in the air before it exploded, causing multiple volts of lightning to strike the surrounding area. Coincidentally, it just so happened to nearly strike Vaggie thrice, who just barely managed to move out of the way.
"Eeek!"
They chuckled,"Apologies, we weren't watching where we were going."
Vaggie snarled,"Why you little son a bitch! You did that on fucking purpose!"
"You have no proof of such a thing. And besides, what are you going to do about it, hm?"
Vaggie pulled out her spear and aimed it at their neck, or tried to, because when she did they automatically took it from her without and snapped it in half. Vaggie looked down in shock at what remained of her spear and immediately backed away from the fusion.
"This is why children aren't allowed to carry dangerous weapons. You have a lot of nerve pulling that on us and using that tooth-pick to try and control us. We do not take orders from those weaker than us and we certainly won't let some little rat with her stocking in a twist boss us around. Now if you do not mind, we shall take our leave. We have bigger things to worry about than someone like you.."
Before anyone could protest, they had already teleported out of the area and into Alastor's room, leaving everyone else to take in the moment they had just witnessed.
Charlie put her hand on Vaggie's shoulder, looking down at the remains of her spear in fear and amazement. Those things were fairly hard to break and the fact 'Alastor' broke it without much effort was rather alarming.
Angel shivered,"Holy shit. Al really isn't messing around, is he? To think I was about to get comfy around him."
"Yeah, I think this confirms what I was thinking earlier. Something ain't right with him. First the weird getup, the powers and now this. He's probably hiding something from us."
"Like what?"
"Not sure, probably something big though. Doubt he'll let us in on it, Al ain't the type to spill the beans on anything, especially if it's something going on within that brain of his."
"Think the weirdest part of that was what he called Vaggie though," Angel said, "Seriously of all the names I've heard Al give to people, 'Rat' is not one of them."
"How does that make any sense though?" Nifty asked, "Vaggie is a moth, not a rat. At least, I think she is."
"I am a moth…"
"So why did he call her that?" Charlie asked, "Al has never usually called people 'rat' before…"
"Well," Angel started, "I do remember one time on my gram account that I looked at Vox's profile and he did say in his verbatim that Val was a confirmed 'rat'. And since Val is a moth maybe Al picked up something from Vox and decided to call Vaggie a rat."
"But they're rivals," Vaggie said, "Why the hell would shitlord copy off of the TV? And how would he even know that? Al doesn't like modern tech, he wouldn't keep up with internet drama, he has no way of knowing these things on his own accord and given how stubborn he is, he probably wouldn't bother trying to learn."
"Beats me, but I do see a correlation. If I ain't looking too far into things, this whole design change and speaking pattern set up is probably some weird way to own Vox or gain attention somehow. Al's probably trying to mock what Vox stands for, you know since they have their whole rivalry shtick going on.``
Husk narrowed his eyes, "Still, it seems weird Al would call Vaggie a rat. Al doesn't like copying off of people and blatantly doing so would be rather out of character for him. Unless this is some weird plot to beat Vox in their dick measuring contest then I'm not certain what his goal could be in doing what he's doing…"
"It's probably nothing," Charlie justified,"He's probably just going through some weird phase. "
"Charlie, you don't know Al like we do. He never goes through phases. Something going on behind the scenes and while we don't know it, it's probably something big," Nifty said.
"Well until he admits it there's not much we can do, so let's just go along with our lives until something comes up. Speculation can only get us so far."
