Charlie was pacing back and forth in panic thinking that the deadline was just cut in half, while Keekee was also walking alongside her.
'Okay, so the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year; no big deal, just a little setback; nothing we can't handle, just angels cutting our timetable in half, but who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right?! And next time, when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, right?!' Vaggie grabbed her and started to calm Charlie down. Assuring her she'll be there to the end.
'Yes; we will'
'Oh, please, you had less than half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit, and now...' Angel's words were interrupted when his phone vibrated with violent and threatening messages.
'Ain't no silver lining this time, toots'
'Sure, there is; we just have to look a little harder for it,' Charlie responded, determined to get to work but Angel remained unconvinced.
'Well, while you're looking, the rest'a hell's going nuts; people are already freakin' out about the news; look at what's happenin' in the Doomsday District' As Angel scrolled down, a text notification appeared, and Charlie saw it.
'What's a "Donkey Show"?' Angel panics and pulls the phone back.
'Aah, heh, nothing; my boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too; like I said, everyone's losing their shit.' Then Vaggie got an idea.
'Yeah, that's true; sinners are desperate; maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?'
'This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!' Charlie said, adding to the Vaggie idea. Angel just huffed at that.
'Cute idea and all, but are you really going to go out in all of this?' Angel waves his phone at the people screaming.
'Well, it's not like people are just going to show up on our doorstep.' Her words were interrupted when a massive explosion erupted behind her. Charlie screamed in fright, as well as getting their attention. Looking back at the freshly made hole in the wall, They all look outside to see Sir Pentious blimp, armed to the teeth.
'Show yourself, Dr. Facccilier, come and face-' Sir Pentious pauses for a moment when he notices Facilier wasn't there in the freshly made hole. He then looks up to see him eating popcorn on the balcony of the second floor.
'Oh, there you are—face my wrath!' Ready to fight.
'And who are you?' Facilier asked, still eating his popcorn.
'Who am I? Who am I?! I am the great Ssssssir Pentiousssss!' He yelled out using his snake tongue to emphasize his point. Facilier dissolves into the shadows as he reappears on the ground, materializing beside Angel, Vaggie, and Charlie with popcorn in hand.
'Inventor, architect of destruction, villain extraordinaire!' He said it pridefully.
'Ooh, you tell'em, boss' His Egg Bois said, Niffty then appeared behind Facilier's head, her eyes star struck. Dr. Facilier grabbed Niffty by the collar and placed her on the ground.
'Well, you think I know a snake in a blimp,' Facilier said, still eating popcorn.
'It's not a pathetic Blimp! It issss my weaponize Zeppelin!' Sir Pentious yelled hurt that his pride and joy was being mocked.
'I think he's compensating for something~' Angel jokingly said.
'Shut up! And beside, I attacked you literally last week' Facilier just titled his head. Not remembering anything like that before.
'We've done battle, like... 20 times' Pentious trying to jog Faciliar memory. He thought for a moment before he just shook his head and continued to eat his popcorn.
'You must have sucked for me not to remember you' Facilier simply stated shrugging that he doesn't have any recollection. Pentious anger now boils over.
'Silence! Now cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal!'
'Ooh! Wait, who are the Vees?' Charlie asked no one in particular but no one answered with Dr. Facilier just shrugged.
'Who knows, who cares'
A large crowd forms in front of a store filled with TVs as they watch an ad on one of them showing off a spy drone. Which is a box with a camera with propellers attached at each end.
'New VoxTek designer voyeur scopes: peeping on the neighbors has never been more stylish; VoxTek! Trust us with your money!' The crowds immediately rushed into the store, and the stampedes came out with boxes with voyeur scopes. Across the rooms, random people watched their computers, laptops, and phones, and it was revealed that they were hypnotists using their powers and techniques to get the ignorant population of hell to give them all of their money.
'This week's episode of "Yeah, I Fucked Your Sister, So What?" is brought to you by VoxTek; trust us with your entertainment!' As it echoes across the rooms, the halls, and now in a large room with TVs showing off numerous consumers, "trust us" repeats and overlaps again and again as electricity courses through the leader of Voxtek named Vox feeling the high from the ignorant masses of hell buying his products stands up from his chair, laughing maniacally at his viewer's consumerism.
He is a tall, thin-built demon with a tech theme who is about seven feet tall. Having a flat-screen television for a head, with its monitor projects eyes with small cyan pupils, a red sclera, and a black and cyan outline for his left and right, respectively. When he's in a trance or feels angry, his pupil turns into an electric symbol in cyan, and his left eye takes on a black spiral. A long, pointed tongue and a mouth full of sharp, cyan-colored teeth are also displayed on the screen. Curling his cyan-tipped, sharp fingers as he prepared for another dose as his dark, navy-blue skin glows in the dark. Dressed in a navy-blue tuxedo, which has coattails, thin cyan stripes, red-trimmed cyan lapels, and a cyan lining.
The waistcoat is red and black striped, and is worn over a collared bluish-white shirt with an upside-down broadcast symbol and a large red bowtie below. Sporting dark gray dress shoes with heels and cyan-colored toe tips and laces. In addition, wearing a black top hat on his head that is decorated with red and blue patterns that resemble wifi. His TV antennas protrude from the top of the hat; the right one is curved into a zigzag pattern.
'Muhahaha! Now that's good television!' laughing like a saturday morning cartoon. Loving those when he was mortal.
Suddenly his screen-face shifts to reveal another icon, Velvette, another one of them Vees they so called themselves. Mostly because their names started with a V and just ran from there. As her profile picture of herself smiling had a light blu hum going up and down signifying she's calling, with a clown horn ringtone. Vox courses the call from his screen to his hands via his electric powers and transfers it to one of his many screens to reveal Velvette in her studio, her hair in a large ponytail. Vox then sits down on his chair and grabs his mug.
'Hello there, Velvette! How are you this hellish morning?' He asked.
'Shut the fuck up and cut the shit, Vox; I need you up here NOW!' Vox looks at one of his other screens as he gets his coffee cup and drinks from it.
'Whatever could be the problem, my dear?' Playing dumb but Velvette was not having it.
'Don't "my dear" me! Your little boy toy is wrecking my apartment while I'm trying to pull together a show and-' Vox could see several workers running and screaming and objects being tossed as Valentino was heard cursing. Velvette yelled at him.
'FUCKING BITCH!' now turning to Vox, not happy about dealing with this disaster.
'Just get your ass here! Before I rip the cabling out of your fucking face! NOW! Damn it, Valentino!' The call ends, and Vox's smile fades away as he gets up, not happy of dealing with his boyfriend's problem today then sighed and fixing up his bowtie.
'Oh god, here I go, Valentino, just another fucking day with Val; hey hey hey; fuck my life' Vox grumbled walking up to a platform, which rises up. A smiling Vox with the world bubble saying "trust us!" before the elevator opens, revealing a frowning Vox sighing, before putting on a smile for a crowd of reporters that push one another before pointing their microphones to him.
'Mr. Vox! What are your thoughts about the new extermination deadline?' The reporter questioned.
'My dear people! We at VoxTek Enterprises have always been at the forefront of innovation. And now, with this new oncoming threat, we are shifting our focus to your protection; we are pleased to announce:' Then the screen descended and showed an ad featuring the VoxTek logo, now gold and with angelic wings, which also had a title.
'VoxTek Angelic Security is coming soon! Trust us, with YOUR safety' Vox uses his left eye to hypnotize the crowd the same way as his customers. Then a fish boy walked up to Vox.
'Uh, sir, when did we begin working on Angelic Security?' The fish boy asked.
'Thirty seconds ago, try to get that bitch Carmilla on the books and cancel all my appointments today; I have a fire to put out upstairs' He then morphs his body into electricity and transfers himself into the security camera on the wall. In Velvette's studio. The staff cleans everything up as she looks at four designers holding up dresses to show her.
With cedar-brown skin and long, curly hair secured in pigtails with bangs by black hair ties, of slender build. Her hair dyed a desire-red color with white swirls on her bangs and pigtails, and the insides are colored a faded dark navy blue. Her makeup consists of black lipstick on her lips and burgundy eyeshadow on her lids, with a strip of fangs visible in the middle of her mouth. Her eyes have white irises, red sclera, and slit pupils. Wearing a sleeveless coat with a burgundy lining and two desired hearts on the left side of the fur collar, Velvette is decked up in white skull-shaped earrings. She wears her coat over a black crop top with two desired hearts on the chest, which is sleeveless. Her loose-fitting pants are striped in desired red and navy blue, and they are fastened with a black belt featuring a white heart-shaped buckle. She accessorized with black low-heeled shoes adorned with white pom-poms, fingerless opera gloves with black stripes that alternate between the colors white on her left glove and desire on her right.
'NO, NO, GET OUT, YOUR FIRED; what is this? WRIST RUFFLES?! Is this 1750?! Burn it like the witches who wore it!' As she sends the designer away, Vox appears next to her.
'Velvette! I can see you're busy; tell me, where's our hot-headed friend now?' Vox asked.
'Up in his room, waiting for a flat-faced prince to calm him down!' Vox sigh.
'And, uh, what's got him so out of sorts today?' Vox asked.
'Who knows?! But he tore up my best model! And you know, the show can't wait for that unlucky bitch to pull herself back together! Melissa! Get over here!' Melissa gets onto the platform, and Velvette uses her overlord powers to change her outfits one after another until she spots the one she wants.
'No, no, hideous, I want to die, Eww, yes! That's the one'
'Ahh, it looks like you have everything under control here,' Vox said.
'Of course, I do! Fuck you! Now shoo! Take care of the piss baby!'
Vox goes upstairs and is greeted by two moth demons, who open the door for him. Taking a look back at the audacity of this bitch then walked in.
Once he enters, he finds Valentino the man who throws a hissy fit and leading porn producer of hell's entertainment industry sitting on his couch, surrounded by a fog of red smoke. When Val notices Vox, he sits up with fury in his eyes and throws the empathy glass to the ground. Looking to his right.
Characterized as a tall, slender, slightly muscular moth demon, Valentino has grayish-lavender skin pupil-less cerise-pink eyes. Usually seen wearing heart-shaped sunglasses with cerise-pink lenses, rimmed in gold. But he threw it to the ground in frustration showing his moth eyes. Many pointed, cerise-pink teeth were in his mouth with an exception of and one golden fang is located far to the left of the center showing it off to vox as he sneered and grumbled. Kicking his long black boots with heels to highlight his tall stature, which is thought to be around 10 feet.
His coat's break-line plumes up to reveal tiny red love hearts encircling his neck, atop his fluffy white fur. Using his extra set of arms just above his hips to hold himself. Showing his hands and forearms are black, while the upper halves are grayish-lavender. Sporting a bright red top hat with an asymmetrical, wide zebra-print hat band. Wearing a dark gray jacket underneath his coat that reveals his chest fastened together with two gold buttons, and the sleeves are rolled up. The outfit also includes white pants, a black belt with a golden buckle shaped like a love heart, and black shoes with high heels. His gold chain necklace is draped across his chest.
'Fucking FINALLY! Kitty! Another drink!' Robot Fizzie next to him nods as it quickly heads off and re-appears with the drink.
'Ugh! Can you believe what that piece of shit did? THE UNGRATEFUL WHORE!' He tosses the drink at Vox, who moves away, hits the door, and shatters on the floor.
'Uh, which whore are we talking about this time?' Vox asked as Valentino got up and walked up to him, then past him.
'Fucking Angel Dust! Who the hell else would I be talking about?! That fucking SLUT walked out on me! ME! I fucking made him! Without me, he's just a bag of meat with some mildly entertaining holes' Remembering how he figured out those holes to be entertaining for him.
'Oh! Angel quit?' Vox asked.
'NO! He didn't fucking quit! It's worse! He MOVED!' As he says that, he grabs Vox's phone and throws it at the wall, shattering it in half.
'He thinks he can just walk in here, work, and then go home somewhere else? Can you FUCKING believe that?! He thinks he can run off and shack up with Lucifer's BIMBO daughter!' Valentino then walks to a closet. Vpx was quite amused at how this whore managed to move up in the hells political sphere.
'Angel is living with Lucifer's daughter now?' He asked.
'YEAH! That BITCH Chuckie or Chandler, or I dunno, something manish like that; she's got this hotel and—' As he speaks, he opens the closet full of guns, drugs, and pictures, including a poster of himself. Valentino brings up two long pistol guns: a long revolver and a semi-pistol.
'Which of these makes me look sexier?' Vox rolled his eyes as he saw Valentino trying to make war to get back his property.
'Heh, what are you doing, Val? You're not going over there' As he speaks, his left eye starts its hypnotizing spell, but Valentino is busy loading his guns.
'That slippery twink is going to remember who owns him. I'm gonna FUCK everyone in that rancid shithole, I swear to god!' Before he finishes, Vox grabs him by the collar and shoves him in his face.
'VAL...Hehe, think about it' Vox yelled in his face seeing he was not listening before relaxing, guiding Valentino towards the window, taking one of his guns.
'Our brand is perfection, and what do you think chasing whores around town will do for our image?' Vox asked.
'Um...fuck it up?' Valitno replied which Vox smiled.
'Right! Do you want people to think you can't control your employees?'
'No!' Valentino replied.
'Exactly! And hey, you still have him under contract. He isn't going anywhere! SO...you should...' Vox guiding Valentino's way of thinking. His wheels churned for a bit before speaking.
'Do nothing?' Vox patted his shoulder.
'Great idea! Now that's why they pay you the big bucks'
'Ugh, but I really wanted to shoot someone' Valentino said wanting to do a war today. As he speaks getting a cigarette holder, and Vox lights it with his electricity powers.
'Well, lemme call up the lowest earners this month' Vox walks to TVs seeing he could quench his blood thirst on...the fat of the corporation.
'Ohh, you know me too well' He chuckles and blows smoke. Then remembering a certain someone that would tick Vox off amusing him to no end.
'Ya know...Angel isn't the only one spending time at this Ratty Hotel with the devil's princesa'
'Oh? Who else is there? Someone who owes you money?' Vox asked.
'Someone who owes us much more than money...The Shadow Demon is there' Upon hearing those words, electricity courses through Vox's head, and he scratches the desk so hard that it leaves scratch marks. Vox made small, ominous chuckles before turning to Valentino, and two red lines appeared on the left side of his lower lip.
'What did you just say?'
'You heard me' Valentino responded.
'Dr. Facilier...whose isn't even a doctor...came back...and he is with Lucifer's daughter, and that wasn't the FIRST FUCKING THING YOU TOLD ME?!'
'Hey! Killing Facilier is your kink' As he speaks, he walks to the desk and turns on the television. Vox teleports to the center screen, which is a recording from a VoxTek Voyeur scope.
The scene, from a drone point of view, shows Facilier using his powers to attack Sir Pentious Zeppelin, causing it to crash to the ground while he eats his popcorn.
'Um...Dr. Facilier, I think he's had enough'
'Nah, he's got a few more hits in him' Enjoying himself a little as the Blimp crashed to the ground, Facilier's shadow friends carried Sir Pentious's body in front of Facilier, his face on the ground, and somehow he was still alive.
'Thank you for being a pathetic snake, friend'
'No, thank you...' Sir Pentious said, which caught Facilier's attention.
'What was that?' Facilier asked, leaning closer.
'Thank you for letting your guard down!' Using his tail and hand, he grabs a bit of Facilier's suit and rips off his crocodile teeth necklace.
'Haha! Yah! Oh, shit...' Sir Pentious looks up to see Facilier's smile and expression gone.
With the snap of his fingers, multiple masks appeared behind one of the largest masks, opening its mouth wide as a green portal was inside its mouth. Then shadows began to drag Sir Pentious as he tried to claw his way out but to no avail, as he was dragged through the portal the mouth suddenly closed and all the masks just disappeared. Once it was over Facilier kneel down and pick up his necklace and tie it around his neck.
'Well look like I'm am need of some new clothes, I should be going now'
'Wait, you're LEAVING?! Facilier! We need your help! We need you to do your job,' Vaggie yelled at him. Angel gestures to the hole on the wall.
'We need a wall' Dr. Facilier just snaps his fingers and black ink demons appear with construction tools as he walks away. Angel takes an interest and looks at one of the larger muscular demons, shoving Vaggie away as he walks up to him.
'Hey, sweet cheeks, whatcha doin' later? I love me a man with a giant...tool' The screen zooms out to reveal Valentino scowling at the current events, leaning his face against the screen.
'See?! Look how he flirts with that guy, and he's not even paying! Who is that? I'm gonna fucking kill his whole fucking family! Vox? VOX!' Vox was paying little attention, as his left pupil turns into a tilde symbol as he eyes Dr. Facilier leaving, his appearance becoming black and white with black lines moving around him like those 1920's television characters. Appearing out of focus as the screen becomes more statically as it focuses on him before losing visual.
'That FUCKER is back!'
'Yeah! I thought he was gone for good too!' Valentino picked the dirt off of his fingernails as a little bit of payback for Vox not comforting him when he was being needy.
'It's been seven years!' Valentino leans up to him and pinches his cheek, Vox clearly pissed to care.
'You're still pissed that he almost beat you that time?'
'Uh, FUCK YOU!' Vox quickly insulted him but Valentino just shrugged stating the facts.
'Just saying' Vox is now getting his game face on seeing he has grown stronger since their last battle and now will win this battle.
'Things have changed a lot since he left town!'
'That's for sure' Valentino added his quips here and there.
'I gotta send a message of who's REALLY in charge of things now!' Vox's face fills the screen as Valentino laughs in the background. The next shot shows Vox grinning as he marches to his chair. Ready to show just how strong he was seven years ago now challenging Facilier with his gaming setup.
Play Stayed Gone
Later at an emergency meeting with Vox, Velvette, and Valentino to discuss a matter with Dr. Facilier as Kitty, pass out drinks to each of them.
'We have a problem, Dr. Facilier is getting close to little princess Morningstar, so our main concern now is ensuring that no deal is ever struck between Lucifer's BRAT and that dark magic freak!'
'Well, how exactly are we supposed to stop it?' Velvette asked while Valentino was putting so much glue on his revolver to decorate with glitter and marbles.
'Put something inside them, that's how I get the bitches to behave' Valentino said.
'Well, maybe someone on the inside isn't such a bad idea, do you think Angel would?' Vox asked.
'That lanky prick won't even return my calls' Vox drinks his glass before slamming it on the table.
'We need someone who Little Miss Bleeding Heart would take in'
'Someone...pathetic, desperate, with no direct ties to us?' Velvette added.
' I employ every down on their luck loser this side of Hell, who the fuck is left?'
'I think...I have JUST the one' As Vox slowly turns around, his right-hypnotic eye gleams with a sinister grin for a plan he has in store.
Back at the hotel, the ink demons are currently fixing the hole in the wall as Charlie, and Vaggie returns. Charlie throws herself onto a couch, exhausted.
'Soooo? How'd it go?' Angel dust asked.
'Not a single new recruit,' Vaggie said, sighing.
'Yeah well, who would wanna use their last days not fucking and fighting? As Angel checked his phone, Vaggie heard a knock on the front door. She walks over to it and opens the door, only to find Sir Pentious holding his hat.
'Why, hello my dear—' He was cut off by Vaggie punching him in the face. As he falls when Vaggie brings out her spear at him. Sir Pentious cowered in fear with the tip barely at his neck, and held a peace sign gesture.
'Wait, wait, wait! I come in peace' Sir Pentious begged.
'What are you doing here?' Vaggie said Charlie then appeared behind Vaggie.
'Vaggie, what's the problem?' Charlie asked, and she then noticed Sir Pentious.
'Oh! Hello again!'
'I didn't come looking for a fight; I uhh...I heard that you're helping people, people who want to be better?' Charlie lets out a gasp and runs over to grab his hand and leads him to the door of the hotel.
'You heard right! Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our-' Angel Dust appears from the door and cuts off Charlie.
'Are you fucking nuts? This chump was trying to kill us like literally 6 hours ago! And now you wanna bring him in here to live with us?' He asked.
'Absolutely! This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this slithery... slippery... special little man!' Trying to find compliments but was coming up with none as they barely know each other.
'Aren't you supposed to protect this place?' Angel asked Vaggie. As Charlie gives her puppy-dog eyes, begging her to give Sir Pentious a chance to live in the hotel. She gave in.
'I guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine' Sir Pentious lifted his head with anticipation.
'Or even with the war machine' Sir Pentious' cobra head flaps down with depression, and he sighed.
'Oh! Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!' Charlie leads Sir Pentious to the door inside of the hotel.
'Oh no darling! Thank you! You won't regret this' He said, which Angel shrugged.
'Eh, I give you a week, tops' He soon follows afterward. Charlie gives Sir Pentious the tour of the hotel, introducing Husk to him and the wall he blew up before it was fixed.
'So, this is the bar and the bartender, this is the curtain, and this is the new wall after you broke the last one, heh, and oh! Oh! This is the-' Vaggie grabs Charlie to calm her down again.
'Babe, you don't have to show him every detail' She said.
'Sorry, I'm just so excited to have our first real guest!' Charlie reapplied back excitedly.
'Uh, what the hell are we?' Angel asked.
'Well, you're an important part of our family here Angel, but you uhm, uh...' Vaggie just finished her sentences.
'Constantly make us look bad, sexually harass the staff, and have literally never once tried to improve?'
'What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once' Charlie said. As she came back to Sir Pentious, Angel Dust was having doubts, looking a bit upset at everything Vaggie described him to be. Niffty was playing Keekee with a string when Charlie and Sir Pentious approached them. Keekee hissed at the sight of Sir Pentious and scatters away while Niffty turns around to meet him.
'Over here we have our maid Niffty'
'The bad boy is back!' Niffty gets up on Sir Pentious and holds his collars, looking at him with insanity in her red eye and a very sadistic smile, which creeps him out.
'Never leave me again' Charlie continues with the introductions.
'We're about 80% sure she's harmless, and over here we have-' nearly bumping into Dr. Facilier.
'Oh! Uh, Facilier! Our gracious facility manager! You've met our newest guest Sir Pentious...hehe..' Fascia looked at this sad strange little man and wished to screw with him as he is such an easy target. Also he ripped his necklace.
'Ah yes! You're the one who ruined my suit!' Facilier eyes glow with a mixture of color in the dark with a violent temptation to rip him apart.
'I definitely remember you now' Sir Pentious gulps.
'Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson! "How to apologize!" The first step to becoming a better person is to admit when you are wrong, why don't you give it a try?'
'Yes..uhm...Mr uhm...The Shadow man sir, please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat...uhm...here' As a token of apology, Sir Pentious hands back the small fabric he tore from Facilier's coat. Dr. Facilier takes it and inspects the damage. Then smiled.
'Ah-Ho! Not many people have been able to take even this much off me, it must have meant quite a lot to you' Facilier just threw the fabric away with Niffty grabbing it mid-air and threw it in the trash. Leaving Sir Pentious and Charlie stunned.
'Charlie, can I speak to you, alone?' Facilier asked, placing his hand while his shadow demon placed his other arm around her shoulder.
'Uh, sure' Charlie said, brushing off his arms, then was led to another room.
In another room, Charlie was alone with Dr. Facilier. She closed the door behind her.
'So, what did you want to say- Ow!' Her words were interrupted when she was hit in the head by one of the Facilier tarot cards.
'What are you thinking, Charlie?!' Facilier yelled.
'What? What's wrong?' She asked.
'What's wrong is that you let that thing into this lovely hotel' Charlie rubbed her forward.
'Look, I don't see what's the problem'
'...' Facilier was silent for a moment.
'He's a literal snake; he will betray you!' Noticing Charlie was frightened by his yelling, he breathed in slowly before exhaling and putting back his smile.
'Fine, if you want him in, be my guest...' He then proceeded to pinch Charlie's cheek.
'But don't come crying to me when he breaks your heart' Leaving Charlie confused but understands that there will be a time when he does get betrayed and hopefully she can handle it. As well as revealing something that Facilier hides behind a mask of showmanship. She wonders if she has a self help book to help him out someday. For all of the people in hell.
Later, the group was gathering and introducing Sir Pentious to the hotel.
'Now, with a new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other! So we are going to play a little game; everyone, follow me. My name is Charlie' Clapping her hands twice to signal the start of the game.
'I like to sing!' Clapping her hands twice again
'and when we get to know each other, it's the greatest thing!' Finishing her clapping then looks over to Sir Pentious.
'My name's Sir Pentious,' Clapping twice. Hoping he got the rhythm correct.
'I like to build' Clapping twice again now getting the hang of it.
'and despite my stupid Egg Bois, I think I'm very skilled!' Now finishing his game feeling happy for a long time he managed to do something right. The two look towards Angel, who is disinterested, looking up from his phone.
'This is stupid' Angel said. Vaggie, seeing her chance to get over Angel, decided to do her own spin of the game.
'This is not stupid! Clapping her hands together.
'It's just a game! Now clapping looking over at Angel who looked more annoyed than ever before.
'Sir Pentious did it well, so now please try to do the same! Angel stared at Vaggie looking like she was enjoying herself too much.
'I am too sober for this' he said, exhausted, thinking that this is going to be his whole day today.
'Well, get used to it and learn how to play; this is going to be your whole day! Vaggie clapping her hands twice with a smug smile across her face. Oh yeah. This is going to be a fun day today.
Next was role-playing with Angel Dust wearing a trenchcoat and a hat while he read a script. Sir Pentious was also role-playing as an innocent child wearing a sailor suit, licking a lollipop.
'"Oh, I'm a bad man on the streets who never got enough hugs; now, where's an innocent kid I can sell crack to?" Wow, who wrote this?' Angel asked aghast how horrible this script was.
'It's great, right? Keep going!' Charlie responded. Angel just sighed. He worked with worse scripts than this.
'"Hey you"'
'"Who, me?"' Sir Pentious asked.
'"Yeah, you look like a kid who could use some...devil's dandruff?" Oh, for fuck's sake,' Feeling humiliated that he has to act in thes say no to drugs campaign ads.
''Come on, kids, it'll make you cool like me, the crackhead'' Pretentious getting into character acted his lines out with gusto.
'"The only cool thing here is to say no to drugs! Now, if you'll excuse me, we're off to not have sexual intercourse before marriage!"' After the role-play was over, Charlie stood up and clapped.
'Yes! Oh bravo! Bravo! Wow Pentious! At this rate, you will be redeemed in no time' Angel heard this and looked away, crushing the paper. Calling it a day.
'I'm going to bed' As Angel heads back up to his room, he overhears Charlie congratulating Sir Pentious.
'I am so proud of you, Sir Pentious! That was amazing!'
'Thank you! Thank you! You like me! You really like me!' Feeling like someone actually cared about him for a very long time. Angel stopped for a second listening in before continuing into his room.
In Angel's room, Fat Nuggets is asleep on his bed until Angel accidentally throws his coat on top of him. Fat Nuggets grunts and crawls out of the coat as he watches Angel lie down on his bed. looking at his phone and seeing all his voicemails from Valentino. Angel sighs and begins to play them. Valentino's voicemail switches between friendly and apologetic to a barrage of screams threatening violence.
(Voice message):
'Angel baby, come home! It's not the same without you here, I miss you! Come back-'
'ANGEL, YOU BITCH! IF YOU DON'T COME HOME, YOU'LL BE FUCKING GREASY TRUCKERS FOR THE NEXT YEAR-'
'Hey, amorcito, I didn't mean to yell, but you know how crazy you make me-'
'YOU FUCKING SLUT!'
'Hey, Angie! About earlier-'
'KILL YOUR WHOLE FUCKIN' FAMILY!'
'Work's really stressful!'
'LITTLE COCKSUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!'
Angel then heard his voice in his head.
'You actually think you can change? Addict trash like you doesn't change; I'll see you soon, baby' Angel sighs as Fat Nuggets gets on the bed next to him.
Angel gets up and leaves his room with Fat Nuggets looking worried. Going over to the bar and grabbing a bottle and starting drinking. Then he notices a slithering noise. Looking over, Charlie's office door opens wide with light coming out of it, and takes a peek inside. There, he discovers that Sir Pentious is setting up a small camera in one of the bookshelves, a camera that belongs to Vox. Angel realizes what he was doing and slams the door open.
'You slippery little shit!' Angel yelled which made Sir Pentious scream.
'You're working for the Vees? I fucking knew there was something shitty about you'
'I don't know what you're talking about!...whore bug!' Angel is now pissed off, and tackles Sir Pentious on the ground. He punches him in the face before wrestling with him.
'Get your aggressively average body...OFF OF ME!' Sir Pentious's eyes spiral using his hypnotic power on him. Angel becomes hypnotized.
'Fuck!' Angel backs away. Quickly snaps out of it, he now has Sir Pentious cornered. Right then, Charlie, and Vaggie woke up after hearing the scuffle.
'What's going on?'
'This little bitch is a traitor!' Angel yelled.
'Preposterous! I would never betray you, you...are my best friends!' Sir Pentious hugs both girls. Vaggie seemed uncomfortable with the touch.
'Uh huh, then explain this!' Angel lifts off one of the books to reveal a camera, much to Charlie's shock. Sir Pentious realizes that his cover was blown and scurries away, he brings out his wrist watch to make contact with Vox.
'Ah! Ah! Abort! Abort! S.O.S! Agent Pentious in need of immediate evacuation!' Vox immediately picks up.
'Pentious? Wait...you were caught?! It hasn't even been a day!'
'Please! You've got to get me out of here!' Sir Pentious pleaded.
'I can't believe we thought you could handle even something this simple, do us a favor, if they don't kill you, go ahead and do it yourself! You miserable failure! Sir Pentious feeling like he was both a failure in life and in death accepted his fate.
'I...I...just make it quick I guess...not that I deserve it' Now lies on the ground curl into a ball, with Vaggie aiming her spear at his skull
'Gladly' But before Vaggie could put him out of misery, Charlie stops her and starts singing.
'Wait! Pentious?'
Play It Starts with Sorry
As the song ends, Niffty was also awake, but she was disappointed that Sir Pentious isn't whom she thought he would be: a bad boy.
'I hated that song! Why are you so lame?! Not a bad boy' Niffty kicks him on the body and walks away.
As Charlie and the others leave with a wrist watch communicator still in the office, Facilier appears from the shadow of the dark hallway with a smile. He comes and picks up the watch before contacting Vox on the watch.
'WHAT?!' Vox paused when he realized that it was Facilier who was calling him, showing fear in his screen face as Facilier laughed evilly.
'Try a little harder next time my old friend' Dropping the watch he stabs it through it with his cane, destroying it and the only sound Vox makes was a raging scream before Facilier retreats back into the darkness.
Thinking that was entertaining today. And Charlie made a new friend despite his misgivings. Oh well it would be sweeter when Charlie world comes crashing down. And when she is at her most vulnerable moment. That is when the deal will be struck with his friends on the other side.
