Chapter 2:

Fearsome friends

As Pink followed Oscar inside, he would give a friendly wave to a tall, imposing woman with a large hat, decorated with skulls and feathers "Rosie dear, I got your delivery" before he glanced at the woman next to him "Well….minus one, this one was just too polite to eat"

The woman would excuse herself as she quickly made her way out from behind the counter of the store and approached the man "Oh Oscar dear, don't worry about it, I still got more than enough stock to keep me going until next week's delivery" before her eyes scanned over the pink skinned girl, who just gave her an uncomfortable smile as she waved awkwardly "H-hello miss…..l-lovely shop you got here…"

The tall woman would giggle "Oh such a polite one, my aren't you sweet, I could almost eat you up" to which Pink Neon took an uncomfortable step back, causing the tall woman to laugh "Oh don't worry dearest, I was just joking" in a charming trans-Atlantic accent.

Swinging an arm around Pink, the man known as Oscar would gesture to the tall lady "Pink, dear, I want you to meet Rosie, the fiercest overlord on this side of the pentagram" at which the tall woman blushed as she waved a hand "Oh Oscar, you charmer, you"

Cocking her head, Pink spoke in confusion "What's…..an overlord?"

At this, the tall woman perked up "Oh? Don't know what an overlord is? You must be a new arrival then, aren't ya, sweetness?"

Nodding, Pink awkwardly rubbed the back of her head "Y-yea….only been here for a week….kinda just been sulking in an alleyway…"

At this, she suddenly heard the sound of a bell behind her, signaling someone had entered the emporium, but as Pink turned around, her curiosity getting the better of her, her heart stopped.

There stood a figure dressed in red, what appeared to be big, fluffy ears sticking out from the top of his head as he wielded a cane, topped with an old-timey looking radio microphone…..and a wide….yellow…..smile….

She had met this man before…..and almost got caught in a deal…

"Alastor, darling, how've you been?" the tall woman, which Pink now had come to know as "Rosie" approached the man casually and gave him a hug "Oh the usual really, Rosie my dear" before he peered at Pink "Tho I definitely wasn't expecting a familiar face here" he sneered in sadistic glee.

Rosie would exchange a glance between the man in red and the succubus like sinner "Oh? The 2 of you met before?" as she playfully poked him "Isn't she a bit too young for you?" after which she gave Pink a wink.

"Rosie my dear, remember how I told you a week ago about "the one that got away"?"

Rosie perked up "Oh, that's HER?!" to which Alastor nodded before addressing the pink skinned woman "I'll have to give it to you, my dear, you got a sharp eye. Keep that razor sharp wit of yours and you'll make it far down here" as he gave her a polite bow, causing Pink to find him allot more pleasant then the first time she had met him…..Alastor….or as she came to know….the infamous "radio demon"…

It wasn't long before the radio demon had left to god knows where as Pink had found herself having tea with the tall owner of the emporium "So….you're a new arrival hu?"

Sighing, Pink would stir her spoon in the little teacup she was holding "It's….all allot to take in….cannibals….murder….sex….drugs…." to which Rosie giggled "Well is it really murder if no one can really die?" before she exchanged a knowing glance with Oscar "I mean, my dear friend Oscar here has told me you already experienced that first hand"

Pink would nod "Yea….to say that explosion hurt would be…..a gross understatement" before she'd glance down at her tea cup "but I suppose if I'm going to spend eternity here, I'm going to need a place to stay…..a-and a job…"

At this, Rosie seemed to gain an almost predatory grin, even if for a moment, tho she could almost see it in her eyes, she reconsidered as her expression softened "Well, dear, I could help you with that"

Putting her now empty cup down, Pink politely bowed her head "Thank you miss Rosie, but if I'm going to spend eternity down here, I'm going to have to learn how to do things on my own.

Giving her a understanding nod, Rosie spoke up "That's more than understandable, sweetness. Just know you always got a friend here in cannibal town" before Oscar cleared his throat "Oh I'm sorry dear, I mean 2" Rosie corrected herself with a giggle, tho shortly after, she pulled out what looked like a business card "But if you ever need anything…." Before she leaned in "OR if you find yourself craving something more then just beef….you know where to find me, ok sweetness?" as she handed Pink the card.

Giving her an awkward smile, Pink answered "I uhm….don't think I'll ever take you up on that second offer….b-but thanks anyway" as she pocketed the card.

A little while later and Pink found herself leaving what she came to know as cannibal town, running her fingers over the business card, before raising her gaze upwards, towards the tall, golden, imposing clocktower in the middle of the city…..

"Hmm…I wonder what that's for…"


Haha….yea, I remember once wondering what in the fresh Kentucky fried fuck that clocktower was for…oh sweet, innocent summer child I was….

Yea when they said hell was gonna SUCK, they really weren't kidding…..
