Alastor and Emily arrived at the hotel, where two ducks landed on Emily's head. Emily just laughed as she could only think of two people that could do that.
"Hi, Charlie. Hi, dad." Emily said, grabbing the ducks from her head and hugging them.
Charlie returned to normal and hugged her sister normally.
"How was Gluttony!?" Charlie asked.
"I hope Bee didn't make you do anything you didn't want you." Lucifer said, staying as a duck for now.
"I'm fine, guys. And I had SO much fun in the Gluttony Ring! Aunt Bee knows how to party and I had no idea there was non alcoholic drinks, I was slamming those down back to back!" Emily said with a smile.
"Yeah, I saw the pictures." Charlie said, remembering the multiple pictures of Emily doing keg stands, shot rounds, and just about any other drinking game you can imagine.
"Well, I'm glad you had fun." Lucifer said, before he turned back.
He pulled out his ringing phone and looked at it.
"Sorry, I have to take this." Lucifer said, before stepping out of the hotel.
Emily looked over at Charlie and remembered something.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I got everyone gifts!" Emily said, reaching into her bag and pulling out multiple presents that were decorated in a specific way, "I made sure the wrapping paper matched everyone."
Charlie took a pale white box with a yellow lid and red ribbon from Emily's hands.
"Aw, Em, you didn't have to do this." Charlie said.
"Yeah, but I wanted to." Emily said, "You did so much for me since I got here, I wanted to do something for everyone, a little thank you."
Charlie smiled with a small tear in her eye as she hugged Emily again as she held her present.
"You are the kindest demon I have ever met." She said.
"Thanks, you too. Now go on, open it." Emily said.
Excited to see what it was, Charlie quickly ripped off the wrapping paper and opened the box under.
"HUUUUH! Oh my gosh!" She said, excited and smiling wide as she pulled out the item.
It was a silver necklace with a round locket, which upon opening revealed a picture of her and Emily inside.
"It's perfect, Emily!" Charlie said, quickly putting it around her neck.
"I'm glad you like it." Emily said, before heading over to the bar, "Here's a gift for you, Husk."
Emily put down his box as Husk gave a playful scoff.
"Can't wait to see this." He said, opening the box and looking shocked, "Oh... my... is... is this what I think it is?"
"Yes it is. Beelzejuice, straight from Gluttony." Emily said as she got a got a bigger smile. "And by the way, I talked to Aunt Bee and every month a, few cases will arrive at the hotel for you to put in the bar. These ones are just for you."
Husk smiled.
"I like you kid." Husk said, opening one of the legendary bottles, "This shit is rare here."
Husk brought the bottle to his lips and the moment it hit his tongue, it was like a shock of joy and pleasure rushing through his body! He pulled the bottle away and stared at it deeply.
"……..Where have you been all my life, you delicious bitch?" Husk asked, caressing the bottle.
"In Gluttony. Duh." Emily said as a joke. "Now if you don't mind, I have gifts to give to the others."
"Yeah yeah, Sure. Just leave me be to drink this heavenly booze." Husk said before drinking more of the Beelzejuice.
"Okay. Niffty! I've got something for you too!" Emily shouted before a dust cloud stopped in front of her.
"WHATCHAGETME?! WHATCHAGETME?! WHATCHAGETME?! WHATCHAGETME?! WHATCHAGETME?! WHATCHAGETME?! WHATCHAGETME?! WHATCHAGETME?!" Niffty screamed, jumping in place with her hands out.
Emily pulled out a box and Niffty grabbed it and started stabbing it with a knife to open it. Emily looked at Charlie.
"... We're 50% sure she's harmless." Charlie said.
"...Riiiiiiiiiight." Emily said before looking back at Niffty.
Once Nifty got her... whatever that is... she got the box open.
"AHHHH!" Nifty said, pulling out a new handheld vacuum, "I love it! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!"
Nifty jumped up and staring Emily in the eyes.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Nifty said, deeply. "HEHEHE!"
Nifty ran off to try her new vacuum, and Emily just ran a hand through her hair.
"I never thought a "thank you" could sound threatening." Emily said.
"Me either but, Niffty is like a…….jelly donut. You never know what kind of stuff is inside just by looking at her." Charlie said as Emily stared at her.
"………..That just makes hungry for a jelly donut later." Emily said, her stomach rumbling now.
"Well, after you give everyone the gifts, why don't we head out and go get some doughnuts?" Charlie suggested.
"Deal." Emily said, before heading off.
Her next stop was Angel Dust, and while she didn't care much about this kind of stuff... she knew he did. She walked up and knocked on his door.
"Oh Angel, I have a present for you!" Emily said.
A second later, Angel Dust opened the door while holding his pet pig, Fat Nuggets, in his lower arms.
"A present for me?" He asked, surprised.
"Of course, you're my friend and I wanted to get you something." Emily said, holding the present out to him.
He took it and opened it. He smiled.
"Not bad kid." Angel said, pulling out a special drug bag, "I hear Beelzebub gets these drugs straight from the Sloth ring... they're rare. Want to try 'em with me?"
"I'm good... but I did get Fat Nuggets a sweater." Emily said, pulling out a pig sized sweater.
It was pink and said "I think therefore I ham."
"Oh my god! That is perfect!" Angel Dust cooed, taking the sweater. "Nugs is gonna look adorable in this!"
"Glad you like it." Emily said, before walking away.
'Now to give Vaggie, Alastor, Sir Pentious, and dad their gifts.' Emily thought with a grin.
Emily skipped to Vaggie and Charlie's room.
"Oh, Vaggie, I've got a gift for you!" Emily said.
The door opened and Vaggie, lit cigarette between her lips, opened the door.
"Emily, you're back from Gluttony." Vaggie said as she grinned at her fellow fallen. "You have fun?"
"The best time in my entire life. I even brought gifts before I came back." Emily said before holding a box with white wrapping paper and a silver ribbon tied in a boy. "And this one is for my future sister-in-law."
"Hehehe... oh, if only I had the courage to pull that." Vaggie said, before opening the box, "Oh wow."
"Like it?" Emily asked.
Vaggie pulled out a gold colored eyepatch.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool." Vaggie said, "I'm going to put this on, you... probably don't want to see it."
"I mean, it's just a missing eye, how bad could-" Vaggie lifted her eye patch, which made Emily go pale and feel sick, "SWEET JESUS CHRIST!"
Vaggie flipped it back down.
"Told you." Vaggie said, closing the door.
Emily clutched her chest... she doesn't know why, but it just felt like the right thing to do in this situation.
"Holy shit." Emily said, feeling her heart beating so fast! "I'd rather stare down an exorcist than see that again."
'Oh my god and sweet satan, is that how my chest eye would've looked if Alastor didn't treat me?!' Emily thought, trying not to throw up from the mental image.
Vaggie came back, wearing the gold colored eye patch.
"How's it look?" She asked.
"You look good. Really." Emily said as she grinned. "And that's not the best part of the new eyepatch."
"It's not?" Vaggie asked.
Emily went next to Vaggie and moved Vaggie's head to it's facing a plant.
"Now just put a hand on the side of it where the strap is." Emily said.
Vaggie did so and a red X appeared on the eyepatch... and fired a small laser at the plant.
"A laser pointer?" Vaggie asked before an X-shaped energy blast hit the plant!
Setting the plant on fire before them.
"... I'm never taking this off." Vaggie said in awe of her new weapon.
'Good, no one needs to see that.' Emily thought, glancing away from Vaggie.
"How did you get this?!" Vaggie asked with a wide grin.
"Aunt Bee has her was, plus a little magic helps too." Emily said before she left Vaggie. "And you might want to put that plant out before Charlie sees it!"
Vaggie, realizing that she just set a fire in the hotel, ran to put it out. Emily smiled and walked to Sir Pentious' room. She hadn't seen him much before she left for Gluttony... apparently he got a job as a tester for Carmine weapons.
'Good for him.' Emily thought, 'Glad he's actually trying to redeem himself.'
Emily won't lie, she mostly just wants someone to redeem themself so she can rub it in Sera's damn face.
Emily stopped to giggle a bit as she just imagined Sera's jaw dropping like she was a fish and looking like she having a heart attack.
"I bet she'd pass out too." Emily said before continuing to Sir Pentious' room.
Hopefully the Egg Bois don't mind she didn't get them a present, or even noticed since they are……..simple creatures.
Emily knocked on the door of his room.
"Oh, Sir Pentious, I have something for you." She said.
The door was opened and Sir Pentious stood with a small welding tool in his hand.
"Emily! Ssssso good to ssssee you have returned!" Pentious said with a smile.
"Good to see you too. I thought you'd like this." Emily said, handing the box to him.
He took the box and opened it. Inside, was several jewel encrusted eggs.
"Oh my... they are wonderful!" Sir Pentious said, his eyes sparkling. "Thank you."
"I'm glad you like it." Emily said as they hugged quickly.
"I'll make sssssure they are placed with utmossst care." Pentious said as he closed his door.
Emily always liked seeing him happy. From some of the things she's been told, he REALLY deserves it.
'Alright, Alastor's room should be close!' Emily thought.
The last gift Emily had for Alastor was a bit bigger than the others and slightly wetter but she was sure he would like it.
She knocked on the door and he opened it.
"Ah, Emily, I thought you'd be with your family for a bit longer." Alastor said.
"Well, I had gifts for everyone and I figured I'd bring you yours." Emily said.
Alastor took the box and opened it.
"Haha! You know me so well!" Alastor said, looking into the box of assorted organs.
"Yeah, I know but don't ask me where I got them. I don't even know but I do know they're from various hellborn species that recently died. So they're nice and fresh." Emily said.
"Rare delicacies?! Oh Emily, how are you NOT still in heaven?" Alastor said, his smile wider yet somehow more genuine.
Emily shrugged.
"Guess they just couldn't see what they were missing." Emily said with an innocent smile, "Now if you don't mind, I have to go give my dad his gift. See you later, Alastor."
"Until our next meeting, Emily." Alastor said as he eagerly walked into his room with his new "snacks."
Emily headed back downstairs, excited to give Lucifer his gift as he was sitting in the lobby now.
"Oh, Dad, I have a special gift for you!" Emily said.
Lucifer excitedly shot up from the couch, rushing over to her.
Emily handed him the box and he opened it... he nearly cried. Inside the box was a big Lucifer styled rubber duck, with two smaller Charlie and Emily styled ones.
"D-D-Ducky. They're beautiful." Lucifer said as he quickly wiped his eyes. "Now I have to go to a meeting with tears running down my cheeks. But thank you, Ducky."
He kissed Emily's forehead.
"I'll be back later to hang out." Lucifer said.
"I can't wait, dad." Emily said with a smile.
Lucifer shrank the "Duck Family" into his pocket and gave Emily a hug before he teleported away for his meeting.
"Wonder what that meeting is about." Emily wondered aloud, before going to look for Charlie.
She still had jelly donuts to pick up with her.
-Pentagram City-
Lucifer arrived at the meeting, standing before a building he HATED having in his kingdom more than any other.
He was not in the mood for this but if he didn't get this out of the way now, it would only come back bother himself later.
'Let's get this over with.' Lucifer thought as his mood soured while he entered the building.
He didn't bother to sign in and walked into the next room, sitting down at a table.
"Lucifer, you're right on time." A voice said, the person Lucifer was meeting.
"Of course, I'm perfectly capable of being on time." Lucifer said as he crossed his legs. "I hope I'm not WASTING your time. I mean, it certainly has been a while since we've seen each other. Face to face. Right, Sera?"
