Ch. 7: Vexing Vox

The two walked away from the entertainment district, getting a good look at V tower, where a certain demon was slowly drinking her troubles away.

Velvette: Drink number seven, please help.

She drank it in just a few seconds, before putting the glass on counter.

Vox: You... really don't seem like your normal self.

Velvette: Yeah, well, you were in the hotel, a lot of shit went down.

Vox: That sounds burdensome, why don't you tell ol' Voxy what went down!

Velvette: Because I know you would try and find a way to make it into a power grab.

Vox: Oh come on...okay maybe a little bit...but I'm genuinely curious about what has you so worked up that you just chugged SEVERAL of your favorite drinks back to back!

Velvette: Well, if you must know, the new guests at the hotel are family on my dad's side.

Vox: Oh now that's sounds like good television! Are they cousins? Grandparents? An in law!?

Velvette: Aunts, but one of them is like the same age as me, so... more like a cousin.

Vox: Fascinating! Why haven't we met them before?

Velvette: Because they... just arrived in hell today.

Vox: Oh shit, really!? You'll have to invite them over to introduce us!

Velvette:... No, I am very much NOT doing that. You don't want to meet Aunt Sera.

Vox: Sera? Her name is Sera...what kinda dumb name is that? Sounds like some stuck up snob's name.

Velvette: Don't know, you'd have to speak to my grandfather about that, he was the one that named her.

Vox: HAHAHAHA! He sounds like a stuffy old prick who prefers letting everyone else handle the messes he makes!

Velvette:... That's a lot like how my dad described him.

Velvette: (My family is dysfunctional... granted I am a ritual baby that was born to a cult so I guess it makes sense.)

Vox: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That is RICH! You have to tell me everything because that would be a hilarious show to watch!

Velvette: Oh, I don't doubt it, but I really have a dysfunctional family, haven't even met most of them.

Vox: Holy shit! There's more?!

Velvettte: Yeah, I think... other than my aunts, my dad had... 6 other siblings?

Vox: ... Holy shit.

Velvette: Yeah, big family

Vox: Was your family like a cult or something?

Velvette:... Okay! If you want to get technical, yes, I was born to a cult!

Vox: Wait really?

Velvette: Yeah, I was born to a cult, why do you think I don't talk much about my life?

Vox: I figured it was because Val and I are guys...

Velvette: No, I don't give a fuck about that!

Vox: Then what's with all the girl time!?

Velvette: Are we really going on with this again!?

Vox: You just said you don't give a fuck about us being guys! If that's true, why all the girl nights!?

Velvette: Because it's nice to spend time with my fucking sister!

Velvette's eyes went wide at what she just said and put her hands over her mouth. Vox gawks at her finally made speeches for once in his afterlife.

Velvette, seeing no better option... fucking ran.

Vox: ... HOLY SHIT! She has a SISTER!?

He began to think about this. Vox decided to go to over what he knew already. A sister, being at the hotel often.

Vox: ... ... ... Oh shit did her sister die recently?!

He began to piece things together.

Vox: Wait... No... it can't be... but...

He ran to his office. It made sense. Disappearing for days, merch from other rings, hanging out with the princess' hotel... he wanted to deny it, but it made too much sense.

Vox: HER SISTER IS THE PRINCESS'S GIRLFRIEND

It made sense... it had to be it!

Vox: No wonder she never said anything... she's on the brink of having a royal as a sister-in-law.

Vox taps his chin.

Vox: Doesn't her name start with a V? I wonder if we could recruit her...

Vox sat in his chair and sent one of the voyeur drones to the hotel to check this girl out... and he learned quickly that her aim is quick and accurate, as she threw her spear at it.

Vox: ... Damn, she'd be handy for connections. And that THROW! I bet we could start a whole SPORTS LINE AND BRAND WITH HER! ...

He rushed out after Velvette.

Vox: VELVEEEETTTTTTEEEE! COME BACK!

Vox went to Velvette's Room. He knocked... for five minutes... before he just decided to open it.

Vox: Velvette, I just... and she's gone.

The window was open and her stuff had clearly been thrown into a bag. He walked over to the window and looked out it. He expected to see Velvette's corpse on the ground, where he would inevitably have to peel off the ground and bring inside where she'd revive... but it wasn't there.

Vox: How in the nine circles did she survive that jump?

Emily hides out of sight on the balcony above him with Velvette in her arms whispering to her.

Emily: ...so what's the emergency?...

Velvette: I... might've let it slip that my sister is at the hotel.

Emily: Oh! ...ooooohhhh... ... Does he know who, specifically?

Velvette: I don't know, but I'm not sticking around to find out.

Emily: Is that really going to actually stop him though? Oh! Do you know of any available territory my sister could run?

Velvette: Let's get to the hotel first so I can think straight.

Emily: Understandable, my sister asked me to keep an eye out to aid family.

Emily flew towards the hotel, velvette still in her arms.

Velvette: (I've know, literally three hours, and I already find her to be the most kitten like thing I've ever seen)

Emily: Oh! There's Vaggie! It looks like she caught a trespasser. Emily lands nearby watching as Vaggie stomps a v-drone to bits.

Vaggie: I fucking hate these things!

Emily: What happened, was it trying to spy on my sister and I?

Vaggie: He sends these damn things to spy on Alastor all the time, I take out at least 6 of these a week.

Velvette: When did this one show up?

Vaggie: Like ten minutes ago.

Velvette: Fuck! This one is probably meant for me.

Vaggie: Really because it was pointed at m-

Vaggie whips around and launches her spear into another drone.

Emily: Nice shot!

Vaggie: I'm about to up and go stab that flat faced fuck myself!

Velvette smirks and chuckles.

Velvette: Tell us how you REALLY feel little angel.

Vaggie glared at Velvette.

Velvette: I would like to mention that I'm the daughter of Lucifer, so if you try and stab me I am strong enough to take it and kill you.

Emily: Wasn't Vox yelling about something?

Vaggie: I swear to Satan I'm going to murder tha-

Vaggie summons her spear back and throws it at another drone getting a bullseye with the camera.

Vaggie: ¡¿QUÉ CARAJO!? Why does he keep sending the damn drones?!

Velvette: Get inside, I have a way to get the drones away.

Velvette started moving her hands and red energy began to form.

Velvette: A little help from dad's magic and... there!

She threw it in the air and the hotel had an invisible barrier around it.

Velvette: There, as long as we're inside, the drone can't see or hear us.

Vaggie and Emily watch as a drone crashes into a barrier.

Vaggie: HA! Eat shit and get fucked you dumb tv screen!

Velvette: You're welcome, now I should go look for Charlie.

Vaggie: She's in our room muñeca.

Velvette: No clue what that means, but thanks.

Vaggie: It means doll Velvette...and no problem.

Vaggie stands there feeling like she's forgotten something important.

(AN: Possible rewrite in the future.)
