Niall told Angel Dust what had happened on his journey through the hotel getting embarassed when he camp to the part that he had heard Charlie and Vaggie doing it, Angel Dust's shark like smoke grew wide "oooooh you now having some naughty thoughts about the princess and the moth chick and I thought you were a prude" he starts laughing after he siad that while Niall scrambled for an answer until Angel cut him off "I'm pulling your leg but I have heard shes into guys and gals, I heard she had a boyfriend at some stage but dont know much with that she could be up for a three way if your lucky" his grin mimicking Alastor's.
Taking his head out of his hands Niall shot a look at him "how long have you been here exactly" Angel adjusted his chest fluff "a few weeks give or take" Niall's jaw dropped and made a time out sign with his hands "how have you survived Vaggie for so long" Angel scorched over closer to Niall without him noticing "because I'm not dat easy ta get rid of I've been down here for about 80 or 90 years I guess".
That statement caught Nialls attention "wait Angel how did you die" her noticed that Angel's smile went after that question "I...I took too much coke one night and...I overdosed after I fell unconscious I woke up here" Niall furrowed his brow "what were you before you got down here" that seemed to perk Angel up a bit "I used to be a member of crime family mob" he pulls out one of his tommy guns running one of his hands down it "we ran the family down in Chicago and we were the ones that you didnt mess with unless you wanted to end up dead" he finishes putting his gun away.
It took Niall a few seconds to take in what Angel told him "wait a damn minute you were a prohibition gangster holy shit did you ever meet Al Capone" Angel wrapped an arm around Niall's shoulder "oh yeah he was a celebrity back den but the cops got him just a bit before I kicked da bucket" Angel looks at Niall "do have any family" Angel slowly got up and walked a bit away from the bed "yeah i had a brother and a sister my brother and pops they didnt take well to me being gay especially my pops he beat the shit out of me as he couldnt take having what he called a faggot son but my sis she accepted me and shes up in heaven cause I havent seen her down in this dump" his demeanour changed to depressive.
Niall got off the bed "Angel I cant even pretend to know what's that like but if you want to talk about it you can come to my room, my door will be always open, god I do sound like a fucking therapist sometimes" Angel quickly turns around pulling me into a hug 'fluffy' "Ill take you up on that sometime" he smiles "do you have any friends down here" he finishes the hug putting both of his arms behind his head "yeah badass bitch Cherry Bomb we had a bit of fun yesterday during the turf war we blew up dat snake guy before the fucker came back at the hotel"
Niall nodded "she sounds like one hell of a party girl, invite me the next time you two are blowing some shit up" he starting laughing "I think you'll fit in down here just fine" they talked for a while about stories that happened to them or ones that old friends or families told them.
"So you got much family back home" Angel asks him after they finish a round of laughing "yeah me mum, me stepdad and two younger stepbrothers we would fight or argue about half the time but we got on well and I made sure to keep them safe as that's the job of the oldest brother" Angel nodded remembering how Arackniss always had his back in a fight and when he had problems with some people.
Niall sighed "but I failed him once he was in town around a relatives house when two bastards jumped him they stole his money, made him take a recording of them beating him while in a chair an then beating him black and blue" a tear slowly fell from his eye with Angel had not failed to notice "I failed the one important thing an older brother is meant to do" Angel put a hand on Niall's shoulder while staying silent.
Niall got up attempting to subtly wipe away the tear "I gotta go it's getting late and I still need to talk to Alastor plus I better go before I get emotional" he got up from the bed before walking to the door.
"no big deal we can talk tomorrow big boy" using a seductive tone Niall groaned in annoyance as he left the room to find that it was 10PM at night "bit late but he still could be up" saying that he made his way up to the radio tower that Alastor had added onto the hotel.
He made to Alastor's door knocking on it twice waiting for Alastor to respond if he was still awake. He didnt have to wait "come in my boy" he let himself in closing the door behind himself "how did you know it was me?" Niall asked curious as he had not told Alastor that he would be paying a visit "I have eyes in ears in most places my boy it pays to know what is going on in your surroundings" Alastor looked to be reading some kind of cookbook however setting it down in good manner to speak to his guest.
Niall rubbed the back of his neck "I hope I wasnt disturbing you, I can leave if you want" Alastor raised a hand "no no it's quite alright while I wasnt expecting company it woul be got to have some conversation before I retire to sleep" Niall moves and sits in the chair near to Alastors bookcase.
"I wanted to know if you've made any progress of one of possessions somehow came to life and now I cant go back home" Niall asked awaiting an answer
Alastor's hand went to his chin in thought "I have thought about that and I may have found a solution to your predicament my boy" he got of his chair moving the book from his table to the bookshelf.
"Now where did I ah there you are" he pulls out a red book with some black trim "I found something during my research that sounds at least in part of what is currently going on which may also explain why you coulfnt go through the portal that those Imps somehow created"
He lays in front of Niall the book opened on a page "possession Alastor I doubt that and how would that stop from going to the living world" Alastor's grin grew at his words.
"Its a theory but somehow when you came to our little slice of hell that your soul split into two and one of these pieces took possession of the item that was in your possession" Niall raised his hand "okay okay if that is in some matter of way possible that doesnt explain my powers or that I couldnt get back home" desperation slowly creeping into his tone.
Alastor walked up to his window leaving Niall behind him at his desk grinning at the plan being concocted within his twisted mind "when someone dies there soul will either go to the pearly gates or down into the abyss with their soul whole even hauntings are souls that refuse to leave or powerful demons using their abilities, you are split you can not leave and I would imagine prevented due to this getting to the other rings but that would need to be tested"
Niall strode up behind Alastor "please tell me there's a way to fix this" noticing Nialls breathing getting quicker Alastor took his chance to pounce "this is something that is beyond me my dear boy I wish I could help you" he watched as Niall grabbed his hair and walked to the window overlooking the city "fucking damn it" as he say the residents of the city go a out their business but began pacing back and forth in front of the window "I have discovered something that will help in finding a way to get you home" Niall froze and slowly turned to Alastor with this realisation a glimmer of hope in his eyes he raced over to Alastor "please I need some good news I cant take anymore of this" Niall losing his composure was on the cusp of tears "I'm not a desperate man but I cant afford to be here I cant leave my family behind"
Alastor places a hand on Nialls shouder from behind him "judging by the residual energy you had on you and the very nature of portals" he changed his position to in front of Niall pointing at him "you my boy were sent here"
Niall's jaw dropped "wait your telling me that some bastard sent me down here?" receiving a nod, with that Niall started fuming "when I find this bastard I'm going to rip him limb..from..limb" his dark aura began radiating from him however he was snapped out of it once he heard Alastors voice through the fog of rage "I can offer my...services to find this character who has wronged you so" the thought that went through Alastors sick twisted mind of machinations had one simple thought 'mine' "name your price" nearly boiling over with each breath taken "nothing big just a small favor that I can cash in whenever I may need some help" outstreching his hand "is it a deal" his hand glowing insidious green Niall shook Alastor's hand sealing a deal with one of the most dangerous sinners an overlords in hell unknowingly putting himself into a position of extreme danger.
"Thank you for this Alastor now I have a start as little as it is it was more than I knew before" they finished the handshake "it is my pleasure, now is there anything else that you needed my boy this fine evening" he asks curious as to what else had brought him up to his radio tower.
"Yeah I wanted to learn more about you actually, like what were you doing when you were alive that sort of thing" Niall explains while just starting to notice some of the decor within Alastors abode. There were several deer heads mounted on the wall which included a rifle hung up on the wall "ah an uncommon question but not one that I havent heard before alright my boy" he smiled putting his hand to his chin in thought "we will make a game of it if you guess a detail of my life correctly I will explain it, if you guess incorrectly I get to know something about you" seeming that it was fair Niall nodded "fair enough from the trophies and the rifle were you a hunter when you were alive".
"So you did notice my collection, yes I was a hunter when I still walked amongst the living I hunted deer for venison and...other prey until a..unfortunate accident causing my descent" Niall took interest in his story "I have an uncle who hunts I've wanted to go with him for a while but with the epidemic that put plans on hold"
Niall continued with his next guess "I assume you're from the 30's with your accent being like the radio hosts of the time as well as your reference to the stock market crash" Alastor started bursted out laughing "ah yes the end of the roaring 20s I just started my career of being a radio host those were the days" he sighed happily remembering how he entertained those that would listen to his broadcasts "it seems we have a clever one on our hands let's if you will guess your last correctly" he sat into his desk chair leaning back into it while locking his hands together "when I was going through the city I heard rumour that you were cannibal so I guess im asking if you um have" Alastor had cut him off "eaten someone no no no I'm referred to one now as I am a deer demon and only eat deer so that's one question I now have the opportunity to ask you" Alastor put the next few moments thinking on what secrets he could juice from the young man standing in front of him.
"What is your opinion on our resident royal here in the hotel?" a seemingly innocent question but the groundwork for Alastor to gather some information he could use in future.
Looking away rubbing the back of his neck "She's defenitely a surprise, she's kinder and more generous than a lot of the people I know which is made even crazier since she is well the spawn of the devil" chuckles at the irony to himself "...she reminds me of better times and I hope others when they come here will be a ray of hope" looking down while giving a small smile as his thoughts turned to Charlie.
Alastor detected something in Nialls wording and decided to press upon it "when you say she reminds you of better times by what to are you referring to" Niall became flustered "um...I was uh...once with someone that was a lot like her and when I see her and how she helps others I can't help but draw the similarities between the two which now that I think about it makes me sound a bit of a ass, well at least to me I think" sighing he rubbed his eyes.
Alastors eyes lit up with a delighted malice "So you are to say attracted to our charming demon belle" knowing what Nialls answer would be but he wanted to hear him say it "I do...is that everything because it is getting late and I don't want to keep your time" now wanting to get out of Alastors room, becoming uncomfortable with the direction the conversation is going"
Satisfied with what he has achieved and the information that he has gathered Alastor agreed with Niall now having what he wanted from him "quite right my young friend it is long into the night and sleep calls us to it so I will see you tomorrow my boy" he escorted Niall to the door opening it for him.
Niall stopped and turned his head "thanks Alastor for everything" Alastor just continued to smile "anytime and feel free to come back during daylight hours if you want to talk again" with a nod Niall departed for his room.
On his way back to his room his mind turned to the information that he has learned after his talk with Alastor speaking his thoughts out loud as he continued. Rubbing his chin feeling the hair growing back from shaving before he landed in he'll "the first thing I need to do is get some sleep so I can explain what happened today and the office but besides that the most glaring fact is someone sent me here".
He turned a corner "they sent me by some kind of portal but why, what would they have to gain could it be someone who has it out to get me or someone who I've wronged in the past ugh there's there's too many variables and too many unknowns to make a proper guess at this point".
He gets to his door "but one this I am sure of and that's I will find out who they are and make sure that they will pay for what they've done" raising his fist willing the power of Darkus to burn through it smirking when the purple energy glowed throughput his hand.
However he froze when he started to open the door it wasn't like a muscle cramp or it being cold but what it felt to him was fear all at once his heart began to pound and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end "what the - So it has begun I shall enjoy our little game hmm hmm hmm we shall see how long you survive" a gravelly low whisper of a voice came from behind and when Niall turned to face it all he saw was a shadow fading into the light shaking he bolted into his room and slam the door only one thing running through his mind that would prevent him sleep this night 'WHAT WAS THAT?'
