CHARLIE WAS PACING BACK AND forth in the living room in quite a panic as kiki was standing at her feet and followed her moves. With vaggie, Y/N, and angel being the only ones present and the last two were sitting down on the couch as she was rambling in a fast paced manner.

"Okay, so the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year, no big deal. Just a few setbacks... Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our time tables in half..." Charlie said with a panicked look and continued. "But who needs a whole year to save souls, am I right?" Charlie asked nervously.

Y/N was holding her hand as charlie wanted to, just to at least calm down her nerves and even paced back and forth with her. But it didn't seemed to work as she was too focused on the changed schedule of extermination day.

"And next time, when they cut the time in half again and again, we'll handle it, right?!" Charlie asked, well, more like shouted than asking at this point.

"Yes, we will." Vaggie assured and stopped her by grabbing her shoulders and Y/N let her hand go when she did.

"Oh, please, ya had less than held a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit." Angel said and waves his phone with hand. Allowing Y/N a glimpse to see messages from some guy named. 'Valentino' who was also known as angel's boss, who was telling about some scenes before he turned it back around before she could see anymore.

"And now... Ain't no silver lining thos time, toots." He added.

"Sure, there is." Charlie replied. "We just have to look a little harder for it."

"Well, while you're lookin' the rest of hell is going nuts, people are already freaking out about the news. Look what's happening in the doomsday district." Angel said and showed what's happening in his phone, then a notification popped out on the top.

"Uh, what is a donkey show?" Charlie asked confused.

"Aah, hehe, nothing. Val is just freaked about the news, too." Angel replied. Obviously lying."Um, like I said, everyone's loosing their shit." He said.

"Yeah, that's true." Vaggie said with a thoughtful look. "Sinners are desperate."

"Perhaps desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination." Y/N added in.

Charlie gasped in amazement at the suggestion. "This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!" She beamed up.

"Cute idea and all, but you really gonna go out in all this?" Angel said and showed his phone once again, which was full of chaos in it.

"Well, it's not like are just going to show up on our doorstep." Charlie said.

An explosion suddenly erupted and turned around, and a hole was created in the wall. To reveal none other than sir pentious and his blimp. Calling out to alastor.

"Come and face...!" He stopped when he noticed he was at the top balcony. Just above the hole drinking in his mug.

"Face my wrath!" He yelled out to him.

"Who are you?" Alastor asked.

Alastor used his shadow to travel down the wall and stand infront of you while Angel stood beside you and charlie was beside him shocked and Vaggie was beside her unfazed along with Alastor.

"Ooh, he's a bad boy." Nifty said chuckling.

"Huh, well if all that's true, you'd think I'd have heard of you." Alastor said smugly.

"Alastor, he attacked us literally last week." You pointed out.

"YES! Thank you my dear!" Sir pentious said. Alastor's eye twitched slightly at the nickname he gave her.

"We've done battle, like... 20 times." Pentious said.

"Well, you must have been really bad at this." Alastor said smugly.

"'Silence! Now cower. For when I've slain you, the almighty V's will finally acknowledge me as their equal!" Sir Pentious said proudly.

"Ooh! Wait, who are the V's?" Nifty asked.

"Oh, nobody important." Alastor said his grin widening.

"Just three influential overlords, although, not really impressive." Y/N replied. Recalling the memories of vox previously asking her to join them through their 'date' as vox would like to call it. But she ended up flat out refusing his idea and left him on the spot out of disinterest.

Hell, he still tried to make her join to this day, and she still refused his offer. Which seemed to make him more frustrated the more she denied. But she could careless at such trivial manners.

"Vox tech. Trust us." A voice repeated on the multiple TV's in a room as Vox stood in front of his chair smiling evilly as people's hypnotised expressions played on the TV. Laughing manically as waves of electricity surrounded him.

"Now that's good television...!" Vox said in satisfaction until he was interrupted as a
phone call from Velvette popped up on his TV head and he transferred the call to a TV opposite him.

"Hello there, Velvette. How are you this hellish morning?"

"Oh, cut the shit, Vox. I need you up here now!" Velvette yelled.

"Whatever could be the problem?" He asked spinning his chair away from her and going on his phone boredly.

"Your little boy toy is wrecking my department! While I'm trying to pull together a show and... Just get your ass here, now!" She demanded and turned her head to the side.

"Dammit, valentino!" She shouted. As soon as the call ended Vox's smile dropped and
he sighed.

"Oh god, here I go. Valentino. Just another fucking day with Val. Hey, hey, hey. Fuck my life." He said with a sarcastic smile as he stood on his platform that began to rise with electric bolts.

After Vox had dealt with the crowd of reporters that were questioning him about the new extermination deadline and lying to them, and hypnotising them he used the security cameras to transport himself into Velvette's department.

"Oh, Velvette. I can see you're busy. Tell me where's out hot headed friend now?" Vox asked.

"Up in his room, waiting for a flat-faced prick to calm him down." Velvette said annoyed.

"And uh, what's got him so out of sorts today?" Vox asked with a groan.

"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." Velvette said and pointed the limb at him, then throwing it away.

"MELISSA! GET OVER HERE!" She shouted out and the woman then stood in the center of the mirrors.

Velvette flipped her finger, changing her in different. "No, no, hideous, disgusting. I want to die. Eww." She then finally stopped when she got the perfect dress. "Yes! That's the one!" She said.

"Well, looks like you have everything under control here." Vox said.

"Of course I do, fuck you. Now shoo!" Velvette said and flipped him off aggressively. "take care of the piss baby." She crudely said and turned back to focus into her phone and vox then left to deal with valentino.
