Chapter 8: Scrambled Eggs Part 1
A few days later in the Hazbin Hotel...
KeeKee is asleep on the couch, but soon shot up to the sound of banging noises. It's revealed that Charlie, Vaggie, Zelda, Razzle, and Dazzle are putting up a banner that reads, 'Happy first week, Sir Pentious and Usagi!'
"That looks perfect!" Charlie happily says, "Aah! I am so excited that Sir Pentious and Usagi are staying at the hotel!"
"Um...Pentious was just trying to take over the city with his weird steampunk bullshit a few days ago," Vaggie says.
"And Usagi just arrived just yesterday," Zelda says.
"Well, I haven't seen him try to pull any of that here," Charlie says as she climbs down the ladder.
"That's true, and let's not forget that Pentious did warn us about the Vees wanting to capture me," Zelda says.
"I guess that's true," Vaggie says.
Then smiles, "And, it's also nice that we have someone like Usagi joining the program more willingly."
"Where is Sir Pentious anyway?" Zelda questions.
Just then, Sir Pentious comes in, rolling in a new machine that his Egg Bois are sitting on.
"What the hell is that?" Vaggie questions.
"Oh, hello, purple female," Pentious says, bowing his head, and soon presents his new invention, "It's my new invention, the Skin Flayer 11,000! I'm really looking forward to shooting the other residents."
"What?!" Charlie asks, in shock.
Then Zelda asks, "Why?!"
"Everyone is being too nice. Obviously it must be a lie. I can sense that they are planning to kill me, but when? How? I must be prepared!" Pentious explains. But he soon notices, "Ooh, the new parts of my machine are here."
The group turns to see three female demons wheeling in boxes of weapons.
The first one is named Odette. She is a female demon with white skin, blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, eyes with red sclera and white irises, and small black horns atop her head. She wears circular red glasses, a white lab coat, long black gloves, and ballet shoes.
The second one is named Clara. She is a female demon with puce skin, short and curly cream hair tied up in a ponytail, dark lips, eyes with red sclera and white irises, and small black horns atop her head. She wears a black top that exposes her midriff, dark gray jeans with a black belt, black fingerless gloves, and ballet shoes.
The third demon is named Giselle. Giselle is also a female demon who looks around her age. She has light gray skin, eyes with red sclera and white irises. She has short black hair and a right side swept bangs. She also has a strain of white hair on her bangs and one strain that goes along the left side of her hair to the back. She also has small black horns atop her head, similar to Odette and Clara. She is wearing a white elbow sleeve shirt, with a black vest, blue jean skirt with black leggings, and ballet shoes similar to her sisters.
Pentious runs over to them.
Odette holds out the clipboard, "Sign, please."
Sir Pentious signs the clipboard while Clara wheels in the boxes.
"Thank you for your business. Enjoy your Carmine purchase," Odette says as she and Clari walk out of the lobby.
At the same time, Sir Pentious takes the crate full of parts and weapons for his machine. As he slithers back.
Vaggie quickly realizes, "Carmine? As in Carmilla Carmine? You are buying parts from an overlord?"
"Carmilla Carmine? Who is she?" Zelda asks.
Pentious turns to Zelda, "Of course, it's already been almost two weeks since you've arrived here. Carmilla Carmine is an Overlord and the top weapons dealer in Hell. She is also a distributor of angelic weapons."
"Angelic weapons? You mean like the weapons the Exorcists used?" Zelda asks, shocked.
"Of course, the weapons the Exorcist used are made of Angelic Steel, it's quite rare to obtain one," Pentious says.
"Why would demons want to have the very same weapons that are used to kill them? Sounds way too dangerous," Zelda asks.
"To kill other demons, unfortunately," Charlie answers.
Then Vaggie comes over to take the boxes away, "Okay, well that stops right now."
"Hey!" Sir Pentious yells.
Then Vaggie says, "You absolutely cannot build weapons in this hotel. No one is trying to kill you. People are being nice because they want you to feel welcome."
Sir Pentious looks at Vaggie with a wary expression. He peeks over his machine to scowl at the other residents and workers.
There's Husk, downing a bottle in the bar, who flips off Sir Pentious.
Then there's Angel Dust, standing near the bar on his phone, doing the same.
And then is Niffty, who is dusting a corner of the wall, looks at him and does a sinister-sounding giggle.
And lastly is Usagi who is petting KeeKee, much to the cat's satisfaction. She then waves to Pentious and the girls.
"Hmm...I have my doubts," Sir Pentious says, wary. "Well, except for the rabbit girl."
"Well, it's true. You have to trust us," Vaggie says.
"But I don't," Pentious says with his arms crossed.
Then Charlie says, "Well, why don't we focus on that for today's activities?"
"Not before we lay some ground rules," Vaggie says, "No more building weapons, no more plotting against other guests, and you need to get rid of these things," and points to the Egg Bois who are on the crates of weapons
2 Egg Boiz, having a tug-of-war over a laser, accidentally sets it off and blows a hole in the roof, much to Vaggie's frustration.
"Oh!" Vaggie shouts and points at the ceiling, "What did I just say? What did I just say?"
"What? Not my little Egg Bois," Pentious cries out and hugs Egg Bois, "They do my evil bidding for me!
"Do you want to stay here and redeem yourself?" Vaggie questions with a frown.
Pentious narrows his eyes, and answers, "Yes."
"Then no more eggs," Vaggie says.
Pentious then lets the Eggs go in tears, "All right, eggies. You've got to go. I" and soon begins sobbing, "Can't keep you anymore!"
"Okay, boss," The Egg Boi says.
They all follow Vaggie as she wheels Pentious' boxes away.
"No, don't resist. This is how it has to be!" Pentious says dramatically.
Sir Pentious begins crying as he watches his Egg Boiz walking away. Charlie, looking awkward, pats his shoulder. Zelda kind of feels sorry for him, but that's just the way it has to be.
Meanwhile in his room, Alastor is eating a deer carcass with a knife and fork while jazz music plays in the background.
It all suddenly comes to a stop when Vaggie shouts, "Alastor!"
He stops eating to see Vaggie at the door with the Egg Bois behind her. Alastor looks surprised for a second and his eyes go from the deer carcass on the table to Vaggie.
"Do you mind? I'm in the middle of breakfast," Alastor says.
Not really caring, Vaggie says, "Pentious' eggs are all over the place, and I need you to get rid of them."
"Oh, well, in that case, I'd be delighted to!" Alastor says as he tosses his knife and fork, stands up, summons his microphone and walks over.
"Humanely!" Vaggie clarifies.
"Hmm,"Alastor says, and turns his head away, "Well, that's a lot less fun," Then his eyes glow red and the x appears on his forehead.
Then reverts back to normal as he says, "But I suppose I can take care of that on my outing today," and walks out of the room.
"Great!" Vaggie says, giving him a thumbs up.
But then looks at the deer carcass in disgust, "That looks disgusting."
Vaggie then takes her leave, still grossed out by the display.
Shortly after, the Egg Bois follow Alastor to the lobby.
"Morning Alastor," Zelda says.
"Good morning everyone, but I'll be heading out and Vaggie wants me to lead the Eggs out," Alastor says.
"I see," Charlie says.
Vaggie soon walks over, "Yeah. I want him to do it humanly, but well, I just hope Alastor does it."
Zelda then says, "I can come with Alastor to help him with the Eggs."
"Are you sure about this?" Charlie asks, concerned.
"Charlie's right. Remember, the Vees are after you and we need to keep you safe. If they see you out, they'll try to capture you," Vaggie says.
"Don't worry, I'll be with Alastor the whole time. And Alastor will know to keep the Vees away from them," Zelda says.
"Of course, I'll be keeping Zelda safe throughout the outing. However, I suggest we make her less human," Alastor says.
Charlie happily says, "Ooooh, this is the perfect time to get Zelda a disguise. But I'm going to need your help," then turns to Vaggie, "Vaggie and I can do her hair and Angel can help with her makeup."
"Sure toots. I do my makeup all the time," Angel says.
Then Charlie turns to Alastor, "And Alastor, think you and Usagi can help with the outfit?"
"But of course," Alastor says, eager to help.
"Okay," Usagi says.
Zelda blinks for a bit.
Two hours later...
"Wow Zelda, you look so pretty," Charlie says.
"You look good," Angel says.
"Uh huh," Usagi replies with a nod.
"Yeah. You look like a real demon," Vaggie says.
"And I do say the outfit is very classy and proper," Alastor says.
It's revealed that Zelda is dressed like a young woman of the 1920s. Her blonde hair is in a bun. She is wearing a black flapper hat with a white band on it that also has a white ribbon. Zelda is also wearing a black dress with a red jacket. She is also wearing black heel shoes and white gloves. Zelda's body is painted a gray color, and with some makeup, with some black horns and a black tail, she looks a lot like a demon girl.
"Do you guys think so?" Zelda asks.
"I think you'll fit in fine. But uh..." Angel says.
"But what?" Zelda questions.
"I think Angel is talking about your eyes. Blue eyes like yours are not common for a demon, especially the white sclera," Charlie says, and thinks a bit.
With a snap of her fingers, Charlie says, "Hey Zelda, maybe you can use your powers to make your eyes change to the other form."
"You're right," Zelda says.
"Give it a try," Angel says.
Zelda then uses her magic and concentrates hard on her eyes. Soon, her scleras turned yellow and her eyes turned red.
"Perfect," Charlie happily says.
"Well Zelda, you're ready to join Alastor, I guess. Just remember, don't wander away from him, try to not lose your disguise, and stay out of trouble," Vaggie says.
"Don't worry, I'll stay out of trouble," Zelda says.
Sometime later, after Zelda, Alstor, and the Egg Bois left, Charlie and the rest of the hotel residents, gathered in the lounge. Angel, Husk, Usagi, Pentious, and Niffty are sitting on the couch while Charlie and Vaggie stand in front of a stage with a banner on it that reads 'Trusting 101.'
Hi, guys. Thanks for coming! It's been brought to our attention that there may be a little...tension in the hotel," Charlie explains.
It's clear that everyone is hating each other or on edge. Sir Pentious grabs Niffty with his tail and makes to shoot her with his ray gun. Usagi panics to see Pentious trying to hurt Niffty.
But Vaggie takes the gun away before he could, "Tension that can be counterproductive to what we're trying to do here."
"We think that this group could really benefit from..." Charlie says.
Then both Charlie and Vaggie go flying up into the air.
Charlie happily says, "Trust exercises!"
"Trust exercises," Vaggie says bit soon begins falling, "Ah, shit!" and falls to the floor on her bottom.
Charlie pulls Vaggie to her feet, "Vaggie, we rehearsed this."
She lets out a sigh and turns to everyone else, "We're doing trust exercises!"
"So, uh, what's with the whole, uhh...this?" Husk asks, gesturing to the stage behind Charlie and Vaggie.
He then crosses his arms with a frown, "I'm not about to put on some show for these fucking chumps."
"Oh, I will," Angel says as he puts his feet on Husk's legs, "But it's cash up front, and I know that one," Then points at Pentious, "Can't afford me."
Pentious responds in disgust, "Gross! I'd never think of it, spider!"
Understanding what Angel means, Usagi sticks her tongue out in disgust.
"Right, well, let's get started," Vaggie says.
Then turns to Charlie with a smile, "Charlie?"
But Charlie says, "Actually, I thought maybe you could take the lead on this one. I trust everyone, so maybe you know better on how to build it properly!" and walks over to stand by Husk, Niffty, Pentious and Angel.
"What? Uhh, I don't know if I'm qualified, uh..." Vaggie responds, sounding unsure.
"Oh, come on. It'll be easy! I'm sure you can handle this," Charlie says.
"Yeah...um," Vaggie replies and looks at them. All of them are looking grumpy except for Charlie and Niffty.
She soon calms herself, "Sure, I can handle this. No problem."
Vaggie takes a deep breath and walks down one side of the stage.
She acts like a drill sergeant, "All, right, so we are starting with trust falls! Each of you are going to share something vulnerable with the group about yourself and then fall backwards, while the rest of the group catches you. Got it? Who wants to go first?"
Charlie happily raises her hand, "Ooh, ooh, me me me! Me! Me! Me!"
All right, get on up here," Vaggie says.
Charlie runs past Vaggie and onto the stage..
Once on stage, Charlie says with tears in her eyes, "I...I love you guys. Like, really, really love you," and falls backwards.
Vaggie runs forward and catches Charlie, "Gotcha!"
"That...felt...good!" Charlie says and shows a big smile on her face.
She then calls out, "Angel, why don't you go next?"
"Fine," Angel answers, annoyed and walks onto the stage.
"This time everyone needs to catch him, okay? Unless you want me to hurt you," Vaggie says as she takes out her spear.
She means it as a means of discipline for the others to come closer to the stage.
Once on stage, Angel thinks of it, "Somethin' about myself, huh?" Then has an idea in mind, "How about this? I LOVE to suck-"
Husk threateningly points at Angel, "I swear to fuck if you say dicks!"
But Angel says, "-popsicles, ya sicko! Get your mind outta the gutter!" and fall back.
Husk ends up being the one to catch him.
"But, you know, dicks too!" Angel says.
Husk drops him with a low growl in response.
Angel then turns to Pentious, "All, right, new guy, you're up."
Then for some reason the room goes dark melodramatic music plays.
A spotlight shines on Pentious and he dramatically says, "I...don't want to live without my minions. Nobody catch me!"And falls backwards.
Vaggie and Charlie catch him together.
"Damn it," Pentious mutters.
"That's great. Wow, you are slimy," Vaggie says and drops Pentious," Okay, good job. Uh, Niffty?
Niffty runs past them onto the stage, giggling manically.
She then says, "Sometimes, I kill mother-bugs in front of their children as a warning to others!"
Upon hearing this and seeing Niffty, the others were disturbed by her sadistic nature . Niffty flings herself off of the stage, but the others actively move out of the way to let her fall on the ground in the face.
Despite that, Niffty seems to enjoy that, "Yay! Pain!" she giggles and runs back onto the stage to jump off again. She sighs, "Pain!"
Charlie and Vaggie walk off to talk privately.
"I don't know if this is really working the way we'd hoped. Maybe we should-" Charlie says.
But then Vaggie says, "Honey, you have to trust me here. I got this, okay? I'll figure something out."
Just then, Angel appears behind them, "If you're in the market for some ideas, I've got just the thing for some "trust buildin'."
Vaggie lets out a sigh and asks, "What do you have in mind?"
Usagi walks to Charlie and asks, "Charlie, do you think Zelda will be okay?"
"I'm sure she's fine. She's with Alastor, and I'm sure he's making sure Zelda doesn't get into trouble," Charlie says.
"And hopefully she's making sure he got the eggs to leave," Vaggie says.
Meanwhile...
Somewhere in Pentagram City, Alstor and Zelda are walking down the street, closely followed by Pentious' Egg Boiz who are Alastor's 'new minions.'
Each of the Egg Bois ask, "Oh, boy! What's the plan, boss? I like your suit! What are the antlers for? Can I touch your staff thing? Are those your ears or is it your hair? I can't tell!"
Alastor's eye twitches as he walks down the street, a pained smile on his face. Zelda is however, worried about Alastor, seeing his eye twitching and the Egg Bois' questions. She's worried that they'll drive him up the wall and splatter them.
Unknown to them a shadowy person watches him from behind, before appearing in front of him, revealing himself to be an Overlord: Zestial.
Zestial is a very tall, slender spider-like demon with dark gray skin and lime green eyes. He wears all-black clothing, with a pitch-black cloak that covers most of his body. At the front of his cloak is a large black spider with lime green stripes on its eight legs, as well as lime green eyes and lime green on its back. The interior of his cloak is lime green colored with a spider web pattern and four red spider legs extending across the cloak. He also wears a distinctive big black top hat with a light gray patch at the front, along with a gray colored skull and a lime green and red striped feather on the right side.
The Overlord says, "Hark, Alastor. How fare thee this day?"
Alastor makes a radio static sound effect, looking slightly scared. Zelda becomes uneasy as well, and senses great power and frightening essence coming from him.
The Egg Boi then speaks up to ask, "Who's that, boss? Want me to rough him up for you?"
Alastor leans to them and says, "Follow in silence if you value your shell!" and taps Egg Boi's shell with his cane.
Zelda whispers to Alastor, "Alastor, who is that?"
"This is an ancient and powerful Overlord, my dear. It's best that you remain silent. We don't want him to know of your mortal self," Alastor whispers.
Zelda nods her head in response.
Then Alastor turns to the Overlord, "Greetings, Zestial!"
A demon comes out from an alleyway and sees Alastor and Zestial.
The demon cries out, "Oh, holy shit!" And runs away.
"Ah, the weather, doth become this fine day," Zestial says.
A cowboy demon comes out of the backdoor after a fight, and was about to go back in when he notices Zestial and panics before fleeing.
"Indeed, looks like we might have some acid rain this afternoon!" Alastor says.
A demon, seeing Zestial, pours gasoline over himself and sets himself on fire as he runs away.
"If our luck doth hold! I do revel in the screams," Zestial says, "How art thou?"
Zesital begins walking down the street with Alastor and the others as tons of demons spotted them and hide, run, or avoid them from getting in their way.
"It has been an age since thou hath graced us thy presence. Some hath spun wild tales of you falling to...holy arms," Zestial says.
Alastor laughs, "Oh, I just took a well-earned sabbatical, nothing serious," and adjusts bow tie and coat in a window reflection, "Though it's fun to keep everyone on their toes!" And laughs as a laughing sound effect plays from his microphone.
Zestial chuckles, "There too hath been rumor of thy involvement with the princess and her recent flight of fancy. TELL ME," cloak flares open briefly. It reveals his eyes glow and the top pair gain red irises.
Then calmly asks, "How does thou fall in such folly?"
Alastor spins his cane as he says, "That is for me to know. But please, do guess, I'd love to know the theories!" And continues walking.
Zestial chuckles and says, "T'would be grander folly by far to assume the workings of your mind, Alastor. Thou hath been naught but an enigma since thy manifested in this realm."
"Coming from someone as ancient as you, I take that as quite the compliment!" Alastor says.
"Charm. Thou may ask who is your companion behind thou?" Zestial questions.
Zelda remains close to Alastor, a bit frightened by Zestial's appearance and question towards her.
"Oh, she is an acquaintance who is helping me watch over the little monsters," Alastor says.
Zelda sighs in relief, but is still uneasy about Zestial. Worrying that he'll suspect something.
Soon, Alastor, Zestial and the Egg Boiz walk into an alleyway with a row of lifts. The security camera spots Zestial walking in view, but Alastor's image glitches when the camera is on him. Zesital and Alastor get into one elevator.
The Egg Boiz attempt to follow, but Alastor blocks them with his cane, "No, no. I have a very important task for you. Stay here and guard the front until I return."
The Egg Boiz salute
Then Alastor turns to Zelda, "And my dear, be sure to stay with them."
Zelda nods in response.
And with that, the lift begins its ascent.
Then one of the Egg Boi points to the lift, "Oh, look. Frank is up there."
"What?" Zelda asks, shocked. and looks at the lift, where one Egg Boi is inside, pounding on the glass.
Another Egg Boi questions, "We have names?"
"I better go get him," Zelda says.
Zelda then walks towards the open elevator, "I'll try to get him before someone sees him," Then turns to the Egg Bois, "And don't move."
The Egg Bois salute in response.
The lift reaches the top of the building and opens, where Alastor, Zestial and Frank walk out. Frank watches as other Overlords come out of other lifts and go into another room. Frank follows them in and stands near Alastor's seat. The overlord sitting next to Alastor turns to look at Frank and he waves. The female overlord smiles widely at him, showing her pointed, knife-like teeth. Frank hides behind Alastor's chair.
Meanwhile, the lift Zelda is on arrives and Zelda exits the elevator.
Zelda takes a deep breath and says to herself, "Alright, I'll find Frank and get him out of there."
Zelda then walks down the hall, opens the door, and walks inside the meeting room. Zelda is surprised to see the many different Overlords in the room. Most of them have already taken a seat.
Zelda soon spots a few extra empty seats and two are next to Alastor.
Zelda slowly walks over, and says to herself in thought, "I didn't realize there are so many in one room. But still, where is Frank?"
Suddenly, Zelda stops and turns to see three demons and one Overlord. Three of them are the demons she remembers from earlier, Odette, Clara, and Giselle.
Carmilla Carmine, a tall and slender, light gray-skinned demon. She sports white ankle-length hair that has been formed in the shape of large horns with several black streaks - most of them on top of the horn shape that resemble thin ribbons, while one is located on her bangs. She has a darker area that appears similar to a mask on her face, while her eyes have white irises and red sclera. The rest of her arms and hands are colored white, with her hands being rather large in proportion to her body with black nails protruding from them. Carmilla wears attire similar to a ballerina, including an off-the-shoulder black dress with white buttons and white stripes located down the front and at the rim of the spiked skirt, which includes hot-pink lining. She also wore black waist-length stockings which are covered by white ballerina shoelaces, and her shoes are that of metallic ballet slippers which she walks on the tips of her toes.
Suddenly, she feels tap and turns to see Alastor, gesturing to her to sit next to him. Zelda quickly responds and sits down.
Zelda whispers, "Sorry, one of the Eggs got in here."
Alastor simply nods.
Upon arriving, Carmilla says, "Welcome, Hell sovereign overlords. I've invited you all here because you represent the controlling powers of our city. Together, you own millions of souls. Souls at risk with the new Extermination schedule." She then pounds her fist on table, "We need to discuss what can be done to minimize the impact to our interest."
She soon notices Zestial taking his seat.
"Zestial, so good to see you, my friend," Carmilla says,
Zestial summons teacup and saucer, "Enchanted as always, Carmilla."
Carmilla soon notices Alastor, "Alastor?"
"Yes, I know I've been absent some time. I'm sure you've all been wondering!" Alastor says, giving a smile.
But Carmilla says, "Not really. But welcome back in any case."
Alastor narrows his eyes and looks offended in Carmilla's general direction.
Carmilla then notices Zelda, "And who might you be?"
"Um well uh, my name is uh, Zel. It's Zel," Zelda answers, sounding nervous.
"Yes. She will be accompanying me today," Alastor says.
"So she's your colleague?" Carmilla questions.
"You could say that," Alastor says.
With a snap of her fingers, Odette passes her a clipboard, "This year's Extermination was brutal, far more even than years past," Soon Carmilla's daughters sit down.
Carmilla continues, "We have assessed that about 16% of the population was lost."
Carmilla turns to Odette, and she nods in response. She uses a remote to activate a slide being projected onto the wall behind Carmilla.
Carmilla continues, "With the angelic legions now returning twice as quickly, I think it prudent we-" but is interrupted as Velvette opens the door and walks in, on the phone.
Velvety continues talking on the phone, "Yes, I've got it handled, Vox. Are you doubting me? Really? Me? That's what I thought," She begins to laugh, "Yes, I know. They're all a joke." she laughs again, "Thank you, V. See you soon. Kisses, darling," and hangs up before she sits down at the opposite end to Carmilla.
Carmilla calmly says, "Nice of you to join us, Velvette. Will your...colleagues be joining?"
"No, they have better shit to do than to listen to an old windbag who thinks she's tough shit. I'm here to represent," Velvette says.
"Charming," Carmilla calmly says.
But unaware that Velvette uses her phone to make a photo, and adds poop signs on it that have devilish grins.
Zelda says to herself in thought, "So this is Velvette, one of the members of the Vees. I'm glad she's the only one who's here instead of Vox and Valentino. I'll end up being found out by those two if they see me."
Carmilla continues the meeting, "So, as I was saying, we need to discuss-" but stops as Velvette waves her hand in the air.
"Yes?" Carmilla questions.
"On the subject of discussion..." Velvette says as she takes out the head of an Exorcist and throws it onto the table. The other overlords look at it and mutter to each other. Zelda let's out a soft gasp as her hands cover her mouth.
Zeezi says, "Holy shit!"
"Oh! Tasty..." Alastor says.
"Oh my goodness," Zelda mutters to herself.
With narrow eyes, Carmilla demands, "Where did you get this?"
"We found it during Extermination day," Velvette answers, and then stands up, "If these Holy Rollers can be killed, the game has changed," Then she stands on top of table, "We can take the fight to them. The boys and I have come up with a full assault plan.
Velvette stops talking and she and the other overlords look at Zestial, who is sipping his tea loudly and aggressively to drown out Velvette.
Once he's done, Zestial says, "If it be true thee and thy colleagues desire to war with such meager proof, thou art far more...foolish than I be thought."
Velvette scoffs, "Meager proof? It's a dead fucking Exorcist. I'd say that's pretty fucking definitive. You going blind, old man?"
"We know not how this perished. Mayhaps t'was not by a demon's hand at all. If we rush to war without knowing mightn't, they purge all of Hell for daring an uprising?" Zesital says.
"He does have a point," Zelda speaks up.
Velvette and the other Overlords turn to Zelda who has spoken up.
"Excuse me?" Velvette questions.
Zelda calms herself and explains, "Zestial has a point, Velvette. Sure, it shows that angels can be killed like demons and over living beings. However, that's only it. You don't know how this angel died, nor who? There are possibilities that something else could have killed it, and may not be a demon. If you try to pick a fight without knowing those answers, you might end up starting a war." Unknown to Zelda as she explains, Velvette takes a picture of her and begins typing a message.
Once Zelda is done, Velvette puts her phone away and leans towards Zelda's face, "And just what makes you such an expert?"
"I'm just stating facts. If you try to fight them off, you'll end up being killed by them," Zelda says.
Velvette stands up and crosses her arms in response. The other overlords mutter in agreement to Zestial's statement and agree that Zelda raises a good point as well. Meanwhile, Velvette notices Carmilla's expression on her face as her head is turned away from the angel's head. Velvette soon smiles in response.
Soon Velvette says, "Oh, I get it. So Grandpa is too pussy to fight, so I guess there's no point, right?"
Zesital begins to narrow her eyes in response.
"Oh, what's the matter, Fossil?" Velvette questions and gets up in Zestial's face, "Too senile to make a real power grab for-"
Right before she could continue, Carmilla starts to get into her face, expressing her outrage towards Velvette's attitude.
Carmilla Carmine:
You better show some respect!
Check your behavior!
No one speaks to Zestial that way!
Did you expect us to sit back and take your, insolent brazen display?
Velvette laughs it off.
Velvette:
You got it twisted!
I'm not the one who needs a new attitude!
Maybe you missed it, but I'm that #Bitch and I will do nothing less than what I please, whoo!
I'm the backbone of the Vees
Mad that I acted respectless?
Well, it's cause no one could respect this!
Then walks across the table.
Velvette:
Sorry, group attendin'!
Since when are Overlords too scared to fight?
Then slams her fists on the table where Zelda is, startling her. Then Zelda begins hashtagging on her phone and taking selfies of herself.
Velvette:
You're long past trending!
Sorry, bae, but I ain't swiping right!
You've lost your relevance-
Zestial:
We can't act without more intelligence!
Velvette:
Ugh!
No wonder I'm so respectless!
I could eat you lot for breakfast!
Carmilla Carmine:
You and the Vees are inane and uninformed!
Smug wannabes who don't heed when you've been warned!
Velvette:
Oops! Did I strike a nerve?
'Cause when I brought out the angel's head.
Velvette holds out the head before throwing it across the table.
Velvette:
Couldn't help but observe, that your wrinkled face was turning red!
This makes Carmilla angry as she clenches the table and Zestial is taking notice.
And soon, Velvette begins to approach Carmilla.
Velvette:
And why are you avoiding war?
That's what the guns you sell are for!
Thanks to my being respectless, one thing I'm starting to suspect is
And soon gets in Carmilla's face.
Velvette:
You know why this angel's headless!
Do you have a disclosure?
Carmilla Carmine:
This meeting's over!
Both Carmine and Velvette glare at each other. The other overlords and Zelda are all staring at Carmilla Carmine and Velvette.
Alastor finally decides to break the silence, "That was a productive meeting!"
Velvette shrugs her shoulders as she turns away from Carmilla, "Hm. Fine," She then begins to take her leave, "Safe travels back to the nursing home, fuckers!" And practically flip everyone in the room, "Kiss my ass!" And leaves the room laughing.
Zeezi scoffs, "What the hell? We literally just got here!"
Odette, Clara, and Giselle grow concerned, especially from their mother's sudden rage.
Odette turns to her mother, "Mother?"
Carmilla lifts her hand, and simply walks away. Zestial and the girls follow. Zelda however is worried to see Carmilla's expression on the Exorcist head and her outbursts.
The overlords all begin to get up and leave. All of them walk back towards the lift except for Carmilla Carmine, Odette, Clara, Giselle and Zestial, who go into another room.
Alastor notices this as he is walking towards the lifts, "Hmm. Well that's interesting,"
Then points at Frank with his cane, "You, little egg creature. I have a job for you."
"Oh. Yes, boss!" Frank says.
Then Alastor instructs, "Follow them!"
Frank salutes and runs after the overlords who went into another room.
Alastor turns to notice Zelda is still sitting down, and lets out a sigh as she stands up. Zelda soon walks over to the door Carmilla and her group walk through and remain out front.
Alastor walks over, "Zelda, are you alright?"
"I'm okay," Zelda answers. She sighs, "I'll stay here and keep an eye on Frank. I'll meet you down."
"Hmm. Of course," Alastor says, "Do be careful now," And with that Alastor leaves the room.
Once Alastor is gone, Zelda turns to the door Carmilla and the other demons walk into.
