Beelzebub arrived at the hotel the day before for decorating and other preemptive planning. Naturally, Charlie took the earliest opportunity to introduce her friends to her aunt.

"So here are our guests: Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb."

Cherri cheered. "Yeah, I finally got the chance to go to one of Queen Bee's bitchin' parties!"

Angel put his arm around Cherri's shoulder and smiled. "Imagine how jealous everyone else'll be when we become the first sinners to do that?"

"Fuckin' bonzer!"

Charlie took that as her cue to continue. "That's Husk, our bartender."

Husk didn't even take a break from drinking to say something. Instead he just glanced over and waved.

"Niffty cleans and also kills bugs."

"Ouch," said Beelzebub in mock fear. "I'd better watch out for you."

She winked, and Niffty smiled with a wink (blink?) of her own.

"Alastor makes us chuckle with an old-timey fun," Charlie noted.

"Guilty as charged," Alastor proudly replied.

"Alright, that's Frank the Egg Boi, you know Razzle and KeeKee, and………" Charlie ran over to her girlfriend and took her hand. "This is Vaggie!!!!"

Vaggie offered an awkward handshake. "Hello, Your Majesty…"

"Pssh, don't be so formal. You're family now!" Bee wrapped Vaggie up in a tight four-armed hug while Charlie looked on in adoration

"Haha okay." Vaggie's just gonna have to get used to these backbreaking family hugs.

"Hey, you forgot about me!" Adam shouted from across the room.

"No I didn't," Charlie replied. "You already know the sins so why would I bother introducing you?"

Adam didn't have anything to say to that but he sure sported a :( face.

After introductions, the Queen of Gluttony began the decorations. Among other ornaments, she brought exactly 207 balloons, each with a unique drawing of Charlie's happy face.

"Aww, they're so adorable!" Charlie cooed.

"Y'know," said Angel Dust. "It's real easy to forget you're so old since you've got that perpetual Disney Princes vibe."

Charlie smiled. "My positive outlook has worked for me so far, so I won't stop any time soon."

"Please," Vaggie dryly interjected. "If you want to talk about people not acting their age, then focus on Adam. Bastard's 10,000 years old yet acts like a toddler."

"Hey!" Adam yelled. "I was never a toddler so I'll consider that an accomplishment!"

"That's not something to be proud of!" Vaggie yelled back.

"Excuse me, isn't this the fucking pride ring?"

"Hey!" Beelzebub got into her big demon form and peered down at Adam. "You better behave or I'll purposely make shit quality Beelzejuice and make you drink it instead of anything else!"

"Yes, ma'am…"

There's not a lot that can make Adam back down, but being denied access to the finest liquor in Hell is one of them.

"Speaking of…" Bee flew over to the bar "This is a pretty good setup you got here."

"Uh… thanks." Husk replied.

Bee immediately summoned several dozen bottles of her best supply of juice and placed them on the bar counter. "Keep these safe and make sure no one has more than a reasonable amount, especially this guy. He's a total party killer when he's plastered."

She slid a photo across the bar. Husk picked up and saw it depicted a tall imp with white blotches on his skin who looked to be downing a giant beehive of Beelzejuice.

"I thought you were supposed to embody gluttony," said Husk. "Plenty of the alcohol here comes directly from you. So what've you got against people drinking themselves stupid?"

"'Cause if you drink yourself to death then the party stops!" Bee replied. "You gotta regulate fun properly."

Husk really couldn't argue with that logic. Though that did bring up a new question. "If this guy's such a drag at parties, then why not just not invite him?

Bee sighed. "Ozzie's bringing Fizz and Fizz probaby invited that guy 'cause they just repaired their friendship, and if he's not going with Fizz then he's bound to tag along with Loona 'cause Tex invited her and she's fun but there's no way he'd not be jealous if she came to Char-Bear's party without him, so it's best to just let him show up." She took a quick swig from a bottle Husk offered. "It's complicated…"

Husk just nodded. He didn't even remotely understand what she was talking about, but it's a bartender's job to listen.

"Yeah it's never simple in Hell," Lucifer remarked, having walked downstairs during that explanation. "But I see you met Maggie. She and Charlie are so adorable together!"

Beelzebub couldn't help but snicker a little. "Her name's not Maggie, bro."

"I know that!" Lucifer replied. "Maggie's a nickname for Margaret." The King of Hell sported such a goofy yet confident smile.

Bee just facepalmed.

You think it's weird that one random assassin-for-hire imp has gotten on the radar of three separate Sins, even if it's all because of other people?
