Summary
A talk show, a parade, a diner, subjecting him to the least compelling show he had ever been forced to watch. Honestly, it was the most insipid ‘victory celebration’ Alastor could imagine. He had thought Vox would be more… bold. It was what he had come to expect from the picture box, right from the start. But instead, all he was doing was showing him off and showing off himself. Both things Alastor would have expected, but to stop there? Which brought him back to, what was holding him back?
Alastor looked back down at the fabric in his hands, and his smile inched a touch higher. Oh, he knew just how to find out.

Summary
“Tell you what, let’s make another deal.” He slid his arms over the dangling body’s shoulders, leaning in as though he could whisper a secret into an ear (or audio input, he supposed), despite there being no head attached. “I’ll move your body to a safe space so that it won’t lure any hungry beasts to your doorstep, and in return, you’ll join me in my celebrations - you can provide the food! Ha!” He dragged his tongue up his neck, imagining the way the action would make Vox glitch were he still in one piece. “How does that sound, hm? It’s no fun celebrating alone, after all! So, do we have a deal?”
He pulled back and grabbed hold of Vox’s hand to give it a firm shake, laughing even harder at his commitment to the bit. There was no fanfare, of course, as deals required two consenting parties, but that hardly lessened Alastor’s enjoyment of the performance. He was still laughing when he dissolved in shadow, pulling Vox’s body right along with him.
