Wail cruella helped Grace with her new wardrobe and Hades was wondering about the manor. He figured that he and cruella weren't the only ones who were gonna be showing up. So he started figuring out rooms for the others for when they would eventually show up.
He wandered aimlessly around, putting up signs with the villains name that best matched the room. It all took a good hour before he collapsed into a chair in the living room. He closed his eyes and sighed. He knew that this new life wasn't gonna be easy for any one, but he had to try and make a good life for grace.
When he reopened them he noticed a purple cloud of smoke starting spinning in the middle of the living room. From it emerged someone hades knew all too well, the voodoo man for New Orleans, Dr Facilier.
"Facilier good to see you!" Hades greeted as he stood up.
Facilier spun around and came face to face with the god. He raised a brow "Hades? What's going on? Where are we and why did I get pulled into this?"
"First off you're in graces manor and second i'm not sure why we are here."
"Grace?" He questioned.
As if on cue, little grace came bursting in calling for hades. He looked over and smiled at how she looked like a six year old. She was in a lovely pink top and colorful shorts.
"Look at the new outfit curella-" she stopped when she saw the shadow man and slowly backed up. She quickly turned and ran back straight into Cruella who had just entered the room "Don't turn me into a frog!" Facilier was startled by the girl's choice of words.
"Good, she doesn't like you either." Cruella said as she picked Grace up to comfort her.
"Cruella?" He questioned looking at her. "Alright hades, what's going on."
"I told you, this manner is that girl's home and for unknown reasons one by one when being brought here. And this girl knows us like the back of her hand" He turned and whispered in his ear of the horrors Grace endured with her grandmother.
Facilier lit up upon hearing this. "Surely this is a joke Hades."
"I'm serious Facilier, this girl really did go through all that. She got proof all around this house. Even the bruises to prove it!" He leaned over into his personal space "so you can either stay and help out or you can leave the premises."
"Fine, I'll stay and help out." He fixed his jacket as he looked back over at grace "you said she was a dancer right? What if I was her manager."
Hades rubbed the back of his neck "I don't know, the girl seems very triggered by dressing up and dancing in infront of others."
"Well we need a way of getting an income, but maybe she doesn't have to dance the way she did. I wouldn't want to make a child dance like that, but maybe we can do something else. Can I see one of these videos she's got?"
Hades nodded and walked over to Cruella "hey de vil, want to come see the kid dance?"
Grace's head lit up and looked over at Hades "but I don't want to, and I'm not in dance clothes."
"Not you Grace" he patted her on the head as he walked by "the video you showed me earlier."
"Oh, I come too then!"
"I don't think that's a good idea." Hades called back.
"Oh come on hades, how bad could this video be." Cruella stated as she began to follow them down the hall.
Hades stopped and spun himself around "Cruella, what you're about to see is gonna be one of the most disgusting things any little girl has ever done."
"You mean-" Hades nodded and Cruella gave him a look of disgust "the old lousy son of a-" she didn't finish her sentence as Grace was present. She then placed Grace on the ground "why don't you go play with pain and panic."
"No, I'm going with you. Hades doesn't even know how to work the tv."
"Tv?" Facilier asked "she got a cinema in her house?!"
"Sort of, and she's right. I don't know how to control this tv."
Cruella smiled at how dumb they were. "It's easy darling just get up and turn the knob on the tv to the channel you want."
"There's no knob. Just a remote." Grace stated as she continued down the hall. "And this is a site, not a channel."
They watched as she walked down the hall before turning into the cinema. "Well, I have to admit she's got some spite in her." Facilier compliment as they followed her. They all filed into the first row to which Grace had already loaded up YouTube on the screen.
"What's YouTube?" Cruella asked.
Grace clicked on her channel as she explained "It's a site where people can post videos, it's the original version of Tic toc. It can be on anything, and if you get enough views you get paid. But I didn't like the way I get paid, I wanted to get paid like the other girls who do silly dances, or trends." She clicked on the same video she showed hades. "Instead I got paid by doing this."
As expected the villains were mortified by what they were being shown. A six year old should have never been forced to do this. Not even a minute in Hades had her stop the video.
"That was disgusting, those clothes don't even match the music!" Cruella shouted.
"No wonder she's got so much dough, but how is this aloud? Surely there's laws against this." Facilier stated.
"Laws?" Grace asked
"There like rules, but if you break them you can get into a lot of trouble." Hades explained.
Facilier leaned over to look at Grace "You said this "YouTube" thing was a place you could post anything on. Well what do you want to do on it?"
"I want to do the trends the other girls do, and I still want to dance just not that. Maybe some reviews on items, and gameplay videos, oh we could also-"
"Alright don't get ahead of yourself, we still need to figure out a schedule and what's gonna work for you. And how this site works." Hades stated
"Oh I know how it works, grandmother showed me. All you do is record the video on the camera, upload it to the computer, she does some editing, then uploads it to YouTube." They all looked at her with confusion.
"Come I'll show you." She hopped down for the recliner and dashed for the dinning. The villains followed and by the time they got there grace was sitting at a round dining table with a laptop opened in front of her.
She opened google and clicked on the tab that was labeled YouTube. She showed them how her grandmother uploaded the videos to the computer and how they were edited then uploaded to YouTube. "And that's how I get paid."
"Wow who knew technology would get so advanced." Cruella said "all this can be done on one device."
"Ya you can do a lot from the web, gaming, watching films, even shopping."
Facilier rubbed his chin "well we are gonna need to get some stuff for the house. Grace could use some things to keep her entertained, and we could use some stuff for ourselves."
"Not to mention we're running low on food." Hades stated.
"This calls for a shopping trip, we could go to the mall!" Cruella shouted.
"What's a mall?" Grace asked.
"A mall is a place where you can go shopping. There are loads of stores, oh you would love it!"
"My grandmother did all the shopping from home. I think it's called Amazon or something."
Facilier grabbed the computer and typed the site in. He began scrolling through the sight and the villains looked surprised. "This site has everything, clothes, games, food, you name it."
Grace saw something that caught her eye. It was a game that looked very colorful and kind of sweet. "What's that?" She asked, pointing at the picture.
"That is a game, it's called candy land." Facilier said as he looked at Grace, "do you want it?"
"You mean, I can get it?" A smile came across her face.
"I don't see why not" he clicked add to cart and a box came up that read "please add credit card information"
"Credit card, what's a credit card?" Hades asked.
"There are plastic cards you use to pay for things darling, you both really need to get with the times." Cruella explained.
Grace got up from the chair and grabbed the credit card from a drawer in the kitchen. She handed them over to facilier who entered the information. It all went through successfully. They added a few things to the cart that they might need, such as clothes, food, and more entertainment for grace. It cost a lot but thankfully everything went through. "Says everything should be here between now by next wednesday."
"A week!" Hades complained.
"Well, we're not the only ones using it," Grace said.
"See this is why the mall is better, you get almost everything you want on the same day." Cruella humphed.
"Well with that out of the way." Hades said as he glanced at the digital clock on the computer. The time read noon "who wants lunch?"
