"I think what this place is missing is a bit of elegant decoration!"

Charlie looked around the main lobby in excitement, announcing her new plan to revamp the Hotel into a more stylish, 'welcoming' place for those staying. Angel Dust sighs heavily.

"Do we have to? The place is fine, it's not like anybody's gonna give a fuck!"

Charlie ignored Angel Dust and smiled broadly.

"Trust me, with a bit of T.L.C, this hotel will look stunning. And with our new hotel representative, we'll be more productive than ever! Isn't that right, Y/n?"

She then turned to Y/n, who was sitting peacefully next to Vaggie on one of the couches. They nodded, a small but sure smile on their face as they listened to Charlie speaking.

Husk groaned, taking another heavy swig of his whiskey, whilst Sir Pentious listened with increasing interest. Vaggie simply smiled weakly at Charlie's enthusiasm.

Suddenly, the door to the Hotel burst open, surges of electricity running up the walls and making the lights flicker ominously.

A figure stood in the doorway.

"What the-?" Sir Pentious spoke in shock, before seeing who the figure was. As soon as he realised, he cowered in fear.

It was Vox, his screen shining brightly and his infamous smirk present on his face.

"Well, well, it seems I might have interrupted a little mother's meeting," He laughed.

Charlie stood up and walked over to Vox, while Y/n looked on in concern.

'Isn't this Alastor's rival?' Y/n thought to themself, 'Speaking of Alastor, where is he when you need him?'

Charlie was about to joyously greet Vox, before both Y/n and Vaggie joined her. Vaggie had already raised her weapon, and Y/n was watching the entire exchange unfold.

"Hm, seems Alastor isn't here to protect your little asses. How... fantastic..." Vox taunted, keeping his composure almost effortlessly.

"You stay away from us!" Vaggie huffed, raising her weapon more.

"Or what? You know, if you even tried to hurt me, the entirety of Pentagram City would put a high bounty on your name."

Before Vaggie could retaliate, Y/n stepped in between them both, facing Vox with a stern yet neutral expression.

It was only then that Vox froze. He stepped back clumsily, his screen glitching out.

"F-Fuck!" He shouted, his voice cutting on and off every other word.

Y/n was beyond surprised. She hadn't even done anything, but Vox was already malfunctioning...

"I-I'll get you-u for this!-" He yelled, before running out and away from the house.

The entire scene between them seemed surreal, and even Angel Dust, who had sat near the back of the room, was very surprised.

"You... just made him malfunction like it was nothing," Vaggie spoke, lowering her weapon, "How?"

Y/n turned around to face her, a nervous expression on their face.

"I don't know! I just kinda stepped in front of him, there was nothing else to it-"

Suddenly, Alastor appeared by Charlie, seeming more bright than usual.

"Y/n, what a wonderful display!" He spoke, patting them on the back wwith force.

"Wh-What?-"

"Say, how about you meet me by the balcony in 20? We've got a lot to talk about!"

And just like that, he was gone...
