Overture 4
She opens the door to peek inside the building. It was dark and practically empty.
"Hello!" She called out but no one answered. The whole place was practically spotless and clean despite it being in hell.
Charlie enters through the door and finds the whole embassy was practically deserted. She walks to the front desk to check in as she continues to try and find someone.
"Hello?" She continued to call out but nothing except for her voice echoing.
"Creepy..." She mutters as she is practically creeped out at how empty the place is.
Charlie comes to the front desk with no one but a single bell. She taps the bell to ring it as she waits and at the instant, a golden scroll and feather ink pen floats from above over to her as it floats in front of her. The sudden appearance caused her to jump slightly in surprise.
"Oh, okay..." She blinks at it and notices it was a sign in-check list scroll.
"Also creepy." She took hold of the quill and signed her name on the checklist.
The scroll and feather flies up before disappearing from sight Right then, the twin doors by the front desk slide open to show Charlie the meeting room.
She enters warily inside the dark room with no one around. Who was she supposed to meet if the place is practically empty of souls?
"Uh... hello? Is anyone here?" Charlie asked in confusion as she looked around.
The lights suddenly switched on, revealing two angels at the end of the room. One was sitting at the end of the table with a plate of ribs and the other standing beside the first one.
The first one seemed to be a guy as he wore a mask that appeared similar to other Exorcists, however, with normal-looking eyes and golden facial expressions. The mask also held a pair of horns similar to an exorcist, albeit longer, smoother, and with a golden ornamental attachment on the tips. He also had a pair of large and golden wings on his back. In contrast to other angels that have appeared thus far, his halo was bright gold in appearance, and similar to the exorcists, has two spikes pointing up and down from each other, though these spikes are located at the front of his halo, which has its spikes in the middle, joined by a small dot. He wore a smooth white and golden cloak that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands were black in appearance, as well, and had golden tip spikes on the back of his collar.
The second one was a lady due to her slim and curvy physique. Her halo and right pupil are black with a white glow instead of white, her horns, and she has bloodstains on her dress.
"'Sup!" The first angel greeted her in a male voice.
"Holy shit!" Charlie yelped and immediately fell down after getting surprised by the sudden appearance of two angels in the room.
"Hi, I'm Charlie." She gets back up, fixing her hair and readjusts herself to introduce herself properly.
"My dad asked me if I could meet you." She informed them while the male angel had a rib in his hand.
"Yeah, I know." He said before he ate a lamb rib like a buzzsaw.
"Okay, well." Charlie smiled at the guy. He seems to be a chill and friendly guy.
"It's nice to meet you." She smiled as the male angel gave an almost friendly smile.
"Totally. It's nice to meet you, too." He said as he reached over to give Charlie a handshake as she walked over.
Just as she was about to shake his hand, her hand slipped right through revealing him to be a hologram as it was fizzing on and off after being touched which freaks Charlie out that she instantly backed away and the male angel laughed rudely at her which made her frown.
"Ha! I fucking got you." He laughed as he looked at the female angel who had a prominent scowl on her face.
"Did you see that?" He asked her as she nodded.
"Ha. Good shit." He leaned against his chair as Charlie was trying to process what just happened. It didn't take a genius as she realized that he wasn't at the building physically.
"Uh... so, wait. You aren't here?" Charlie asked in confusion as the male angel shook his head.
"No, you think I'd come down there?" He laughed as he grinned at her.
"No, I mean, I love the vibe, totally, I love your tunes." He told her as he got into her face and pointed to her and she had to lean back in surprise.
"Pretty fucking hardcore, don't get me wrong." He told her.
"But it's such a bummer man." He said as he slumped on the table before sitting up.
"Everything down there's just so "eugh", ya know? Ew." He said with a grossed out look and Charlie is gonna pretend that didn't happen.
"Right." Charlie said and she went straight to business.
"So, I'm happy we've got this opportunity to meet. There's a project that I've been working on that I really want to talk to you about-" Charlie excitedly told him but was cut off by the male angel putting his finger on her lips to quiet her down for a moment which caused his image to fizz in and out again.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, slow down. We've got time. How about we get to know each other a little." He suggested with a grin.
"Mmm. How about lunch? You hungry? I got you." He said before he takes the plate of ribs that he has been eating earlier and offers it to Charlie.
"Here's my personal favorite. You'll love it." He offered and Charlie was put off by him. He was friendly then rude then friendly again?
"Uh... thanks." She said hesitantly as she went to take a piece of a rib.
But her hand passed right through them also revealing the plate of ribs to be a hologram as it fizzed on and off from the touch like before and Adam laughed hysterically.
"I got you again, bitch! Fuckin' hilarious!" He bursts out laughing and Charlie makes a small unamused chuckle alongside the angel's hyper laughter. This is gonna take a while.
