"Looking good, Al!" Charlie lilts.
The Radio Demon preens, straightening the white-trimmed lapels of his new jacket, then his little black bowtie. "Why, thank you, my dear. You're positively dashing yourself, if I may say so."
"Flatterer," the Princess of Hell teases, smoothing down her fresh scarlet suit. She waggles her ring finger, with her rainbow-hued engagement band. "You know I'm a taken lady."
"And you know I don't swing any which way!" Alastor boops Charlie on the nose. An ace! You yourself introduced me to that very term!" Grinning proudly, he taps the spade-shaped pin, black, white and purple, on his collar.
"Sure did!" Charlie rolls up her sleeves. "Well…ready to start the new day?"
"Yes indeedy! Who knows what entertaining twists and turns await us!"
Together, they push open the Hotel doors.
("ANGEL, HURRY UP IN THERE!")
("IF I AIN'T LOOKIN' PERFECT I AIN'T COMING OUT, TOOTS.")
("Ay, hijo de puta…")
A/N:
So, what did y'all think of Charlie & Alastor's redesigns?
I'm a fan of both! Charlie now looks more demonesque in her natural state, with the red eyes and more angular lines. Alastor's update is more subtle, but the white lining on his jacket lapel… could it be a hint that his morality is not so bloody, and that there is still good in him? Hmmm…
Charlie and Alastor being chaotic platonic buds? *nods sagely* I think there's a lot of potential for their chemistry and possible-friendship to build in the show, whether as a sign of Alastor's morality returning or to make any betrayal Alastor commits just that much more of an emotional blow.
(Angel, I love you but I'm on Vaggie's side here. We all can't wait to see your new look, and everyone else's after you.)
