Rayne and Alastor have a comedy contest. Also "Mercy Mirror" belongs to Within Temptation and to any other of its creators. Next chapter is the wedding. On another note Among Us rocks! And like Angel I suck at being an Imposter.
Nyssa's POV
"Damn it" Angel growled when he was found out to being "The Imposter". Yes, even residents of hell could play the popular mobile game Among Us, and Angel got busted.
"You need to be more convincing that you are innocent" Cherri suggested. Besides Angel and myself, Cherri, Charlie, Vaggie, and Pain were playing Among Us together. Our group was lounging on the outdoor patio.
"She's right Angel" I agreed with the one-eyed demoness.
"Meh I'll try but damn I suck as Imposter" the spider demon mumbled before we started another round of the game. I was Crewmate again and was wandering around "The Skeld" map doing my tasks until the entire ground shook and I heard my father yelling. The shaking meant one thing and it was that my Dad was pissed.
I set my phone down before transporting myself inside the hotel. Dad's skin was an angry orange and his hair was as well. Mom looked annoyed and Husk was hiding behind the bar to avoid getting scorched by Dad.
"Dad, what's going on?" I asked.
"Some demon decided to hit on your mother right in front of me" the Lord of the Dead spat. Mom thankfully saved the day and she gave Dad a mind-blowing kiss and that made my father calm down. His skin and hair returned to normal.
"Yo is everything okay?" Angel asked as he and the others joined in.
"Yeah, everything's fine now" I promised. "Some idiot decided to flirt with Mom"
"Oh, f**k" was the response from everyone.
"Out of curiosity who was it that flirted with you Mom?"
"Just a random demon your father scared off" the Goddess of Resurrection replied.
"Geez, most of the demons down here know who we are babe" Dad added.
"And some don't Hothead"
"Hades! Rayne! Glad to see you dropped by!"
Like always I jumped when I heard Alastor's voice from behind me. I then summoned my scythe and smacked the Radio Demon hard on the head using the handle. The Radio Demon grumbled in displeasure and massaged the spot where I smacked him.
"We came by to see Nyssa sing tonight" Dad explained.
Tonight was the monthly concert and already we were booked solid. Mom then suddenly looked like she had an idea and her lips formed into a smirk.
"Uh oh, I'm not sure if I like that grin Mom" I sweat-dropped.
"Tell me Alastor how would you feel about a little contest?"
That got everyone's attention alright. My beloved returned the smirk before inquiring.
"And what contest are you proposing?"
"Simple which of the two of us is funnier"
"You got to be kidding me!" Angel protested. "You're the funny one Rayne, his jokes suck!"
Angel wasn't a fan of Alastor telling jokes.
"Oh do it!" Charlie begged. "Let me guess the audience decides who's the winner?"
"Exactly" Mom confirmed. She then looked again at Alastor. "What do you say Alastor? Is it a deal then?"
"Oh absolutely" the Radio Demon agreed.
"This is gonna be interesting," Dad told me.
"You got that right"
Later.
Still Nyssa's POV
"Holy crap it's a full house out there," Dad told me.
The two of us had just peeked to see how many demons and what not showed up.
"It's usually a full house when I'm singing but I think the announcement Alastor broadcasted earlier brought more folks in"
"Shoot this comedy match is gonna be close"
"Your right your fierceness!" Pain agreed.
"Pain why aren't you out there waiting for the show to start?" I asked.
"I got a better view from behind the stage"
Dad snorted before shooting a skeptical look at the magenta-colored imp. Charlie greeted the crowd and I made Dad leave so he could get a good seat. My name was then called and I appeared on the stage beside the Princess of Hell. Charlie handed over the microphone to me before she hurried offstage.
"Evening fell residents of Hell, you are in for a treat tonight, and I'm referring to the comedy match after my performances if you know what I mean"
Several demons laughed at my remark before I snapped my fingers and the song I chose to start things off began.
We are forever as one in what remains
You're in my blood from the cradle to the grave
I don't like to think about the pieces
Or the cracks that still remain
If I could breathe, I'd ask you
To look into my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
To look into my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I repeated the same verse before continuing.
My heart like a planet, the sun forgot
Where now? Orbiting the light I had lost
More than words is silence teaches
How to see and to feel what is real
When sunlight touches my soul
So look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
It's a wicked game life plays
How it gives and takes away
No turning round, touching ground
What we had was so much more than I realized
If I could, I'd embrace you
And look into my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have ever known
So look into my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go,
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I finished by repeating the last verse and like always the crowd burst into applause. Dad whistled loud enough that several demons winced due to sensitive hearing. The next few songs passed like a breeze and now it was time to start the comedy contest.
Alastor chose that moment to appear next to me and he kissed my cheek before I transported myself off the stage and took a seat next to Dad. Alastor greeted the crowd before cracking a joke. I laughed as did my father along with most of the room. Mom then appeared next to the Radio Demon via a flash of fire.
She wore modern clothing instead of her usual Queen of the Dead attire. Alastor gave Mom the microphone and she quickly countered Alastor's joke with one of her own. The room howled with laughter and the contest was on.
Alastor went first and he told joke after joke making the room laugh like no tomorrow. My beloved's act lasted for a half-hour before it was Mom's turn. She started her round with casual jokes that earned a few laughs before she told more that got the room to cackle like hell.
Angel and Cherri were laughing so hard they had tears in their eyes. Vaggie smirked while Charlie had her head on the table and her body shook from her laughing. Hell, even Alastor was laughing. After telling her last joke the Queen of the Dead bowed before transporting herself next to Dad.
"God damn babe you killed it up there"
"Perhaps Hothead, but the audience decides who's the funniest"
I chose that moment to transport myself next to my future husband.
"Seven hells it's been decades since I laughed so hard" Alastor confessed.
"The vote is going on to be close that's for sure"
The Radio Demon agreed before he kissed my left hand. The voting took up to an hour and the counting just as long. Soon both Mom and Alastor were on the stage with Charlie.
"Well after counting the votes, we have a tie" she announced.
The crowd booed at that but Alastor decided to say something.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for the Queen of the Dead! She earned her victory tonight!"
"THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Dad shouted.
The rest of the audience agreed with the Radio Demon and broke into applause.
Back at Alastor/Nyssa's House
Still Nyssa's POV
"That was sweet of you to give Mom the victory," I told Alastor. I was on my stomach and my Jorraelagon was massaging my back.
"Rayne deserved it" the Radio Demon stated. "And besides the only one who needs to laugh at my jokes is in front of me"
"Technically I'm lying down before you" I corrected.
Alastor chuckled as he continued massaging the kinks out of my back. With each stroke of his claws, I shivered in pleasure.
"You really like it when my claws touch you"
"That's an understatement my Jorraelagon, I love having your claws touching me"
This was especially true whenever said claws were on my thighs or my breasts. Alastor suddenly stopped massaging and I wondered what he was doing. I then felt him press his body lightly against my back and his lips touched my left shoulder. Then I felt him place the tip of his index claw on my skin and slowly traced a pattern down my back.
"Does that feel good my Nyssa?"
"You have no idea" I confirmed.
The Radio Demon chuckled darkly before he snuck his hand up front so his claws could touch my left breast. He then kneaded it skillfully and already I was losing my mind.
"Your body is mine to worship my Fiery Rose" Alastor purred as he planted more kisses on my back. Then his tongue traced a pattern in a similar manner his index claw did.
The next thing Alastor knew was that he was on his back and I was straddling him. It was a good thing he was shirtless or else his suit would have been torn to shreds by my own claws. With a smirk of my own, I placed an index claw onto his chest and traced my own pattern against his flesh.
"You shouldn't tempt me my sweet" Alastor advised. He then moaned when I kissed a vulnerable spot on his neck.
"You are mine my love" I reminded him. I traced his chest and stomach with my hands. "You are perfection, and your body is mine to please in how I wish"
Alastor moaned when I slid my claws gently down his arms. I then got his pants off and it wasn't long until his cock was fully inside me. I placed his clawed hands on my breasts as I moved my body in the manner he liked most. Alastor became lost in the ecstasy and pleasure he was enduring from me and boy what a sight it was to have the Radio Demon completely under my power for the time being.
