Chapter Text
No no no way, nope nope nope. Charlie is wrong, there is no way I am jealous of Alastor. And I'm most certainly not apologizing, "Charlie are you..." I paused hoping I wouldn't have to say it.
"No Dad, I'm not on drugs" that's not what I meant but wtv; ". And I mean it you need to say sorry." Charlie says very firmly kinda like her mother- no no no thinking about her. There is no reason why I should say sorry anyway. "If you say sorry Alastor will too"no he won't"And the guests will see and learn from it"there are classes for that"besides if you guys ruin another wall then well, Vaggi prob going to kick you out" who tf is Vaggi, if anything Charlie's gf(the other fallen angel, the one with long gray hair- stupid I know who I'm talking about, why i'm I explaining it to myself.) will kick me out.
Why should I have to say sorry? He should say sorry. I'm his king(not that I want to be). Alastor is stubborn; he's probably going to want a grand sorry, where everyone can see. He would just love to see this king apologizing. He insults my insults and my drawing(in my head, I would never actually show him my drawings). This is stupid I never ever wanted him to help Charlie with anything. She should have come to me, if she needed help. "Charlie I can't do this" I won't, "Alastor will never let this die down" he'll tease me everyday "And we can fix the hotel easily" we can.
Charlie slapped her forehead, damn it she's mad. "This is exactly what I mean Dad, you don't trust him." why should I. "Alastor may not have the greatest methods or heart but he has one." Charlie's eyes sparkled when she talked about him. Charlie won't let this go, but HATE him. I hate how I remember his name and how I think of him often, I hate how I wonder if he's safe. "Dad please you're fights are scaring away the guests, and Vaggi is talking about making you go back to your castle"No"And making Alastor stay in his Radio Tower"Forever?"I d-" deep breathe "I don't want that for you just because you have your problem between each other".
Going back to my place is terrible but I have to get something out of this(for my ego/pride). "Fine but only if you let me-". Ha-Ha(Mood switch!) I didn't even have to finish Charlie dear darling was already groaning. Ha Ha you see I have been begging for Charlie and her gf to let me put on a *drum-roll please* A DUCK SHOW! NOT BE CONFUSED WITH A PUPPET SHOW. Anyway I got the idea when I was stuck in the box oval thing. Charlie disliked what I did to Vox so I wanted to make it up to her. When she was little, tiny like m- Nifty(?) I was going to say(think?) Nifty(is that the name?); the point is she liked my duck shows. We would sit for hours so I decided to try that again.
My duck shows are amazing, okay. I always have a problem with alastor but if it helps Charlie and me be closer again then it's fine. Besides Alastor won't mind having one less enemy plus I don't care if lives or dies he just needs to stay away from Charlie. Charlie was on her phone, "So we have a deal", I didn't like her choice of words, "You say sorry and Vaggi and I let you put on your pupp-Duck show" I nodded. She smiled and hugged me, she started ringing, "Gimme a sec" she let go of me.
How am I supposed to apologize to Alastor, with flowers like Lilith? or with a song like Razzle and Dazzle maybe with money or candy or food or power? no, too dangerous. What about knowledge or servants or items? What does he like? Or I could kill his enemies, maybe a toy or maybe everything, maybe nothing, maybe style? well I just mean he could look better he looks fin-No. I just want to know how to apologize, who knows him enough? Oh Charlie, wait where is Charlie. Fuck I lost her(just like I lost li-No)
Oh a note. I hate these, they never explain things correctly.
'Dad, you kinda spaced out so I left'
What?! is that why she also left
'To go tell Vaggi the bad news,'
I don't know who Vaggi is but Charlie should tell her girlfriend first, is.. Charlie cheating!?
'Also you have to apologize today'
TODAY? but I need time, I have to plan. And shouldn't I put on at least one duck show first. Whatever
'Loving you, Charlie'
I love you too Charlie.
The emotions I went through I VERY MUCH DISLIKE letters. Well looks I have one hell of a day ahead of me. How do you apologize to an enemy? I can't ask Charlie any more cuz she is busy again. Oh! Wait what did that one lady say, mi-Mimi! (right?) Anyway, she said something about jazz, rye, and fingers; and then alastor is a kitten. I love kittens. I've made a rubber duck-kitten which I burned because it was ugly and weird... How would Alastor look like as a kitten, he has ears already and I guess probably a tail, Alastor with a tail kinda seems- nope no no nooo. I will not fall for the bell hop. Maybe I can make a few guesses on my quest? plan? adventure? I'm not really sure
I know where to get my supplies. From Hugo! well I know I get Rye from Hugo at least. Hugo will probably know where I get jazz and fingers. I head down to the mini bar, I know his name starts with an H and it's four letters , Huuk?, no, Husk? nope, Huck?, nah Hugk, not it, Huco? mmm no. Hugo? yep that's it Hugo the cat's name is Hugo(hopefully). I took the stairs because I am killing time, not the same thing as procrastinating. Besides, Alastor probably doesn't even want to be friends. Being enemies is much easier. It's what Charlie wants, well technically she wants us to stop destroying her hotel.
"Sup Hugo" I say upon sitting down at the bar. The cat seemed to groan, I can't imagine why, I am their savior, they should love me well, maybe they shouldn't... That is besides the point. I looked around his bar for Rye, oh fuck I don't know the first thing about alcohol. How is alcohol going to help make Alastor a cat?
"What do you want, Lu" Hugo sounded tired or bored; I can't really tell emotions, "And my name is Husk" ooooohhhhh that's why he groaned, I got his name wrong...again... oh well
"I need Rye" I said in a quieter, a bit embarrassed, Huco seemed to be confused. I didn't really know why the request was simple enough
"And why would you need that" Huck asked, why are sinners so curious lolz he's a curious cat. Will Alastor be a curious cat too? Stop thinking of Alastor stupid brain.
I answered because I like to talk,"I'm doing what Charlie asked of me and that involves buying some Rye" I grin. Hunk raised an eyebrow still confused, "I'm doing this for bell-hop" I sighed, still hating the idea of saying sorry to Alastor. Oh well, my answer seemed to make him spit out his drink. "You see I'm doing something for him so I can do something I really want." I really want my duck show. Oh! I should tell male cat about my duck show, he'll love it.
"You mean Alastor?!" The cat started coughing, Oh yeah we're talking about alastor. I would be surprised if I was told someone has to say sorry to his sworn enemy. Back onto the topic, "h-ho-whe-" Huco struggled to talk... Maybe I should go... "Holy fuck do I own Angel money?!?" Huck seems to be ripping at his hair. I don't think this is what Charlie wanted. "Maybe, Okay, here is your Rye" Hugh handed me a bottle, I assumed it was Rye. Oh right Jazz and Fingers!
"Huuk" the cat smashed his head into the counter, "are you alright?" Huck nodded. I chuckled but I was really nervous, did I get his name wrong again? Fucking stupid. "I was wondering if you know where to get jazz and fingers?" I leaned against the counter. Husk seemed to think for a moment.
"Well I know where or who you can get a CD from." Hugo said, cleaning the cups. "Find Niffty, the little cyclops she has some good CDs" Huuk chuckled, I guess he remembered a memory, "She'll know what CDs Alastor will want". Cool, "as for fingers I don't know but she might".
"Okay thanks Husk!" Hopefully that’s his name, so I ran off to put the bottle of Rye in my room. I caught a glimpse of fitty on my way. And the spider, Oh I need guests for my show.
"Oh hey Lu, whatcha doing with that bottle" Spider said I know this one I swear I do. It's an A with 5 or 4 letters, Abby? Addy? Addie? Angie? Angel? Angle? YES Angel that's it. Suddenly a girl(?) come up behind him.
"Oh I'm planning something for Alastor" I looked at the bottle in my hand I almost completely forgot about it. I think my answer made Addy grin, don't know why though. "Would you and your friends like to see a show?" I smiled because my duck show is amazing.
"Is there sex?" the friend asked.
"No"me
"Death?"Both
"Sometimes"me
"bombs?"friend
"not often"me
"is it Gay"Angle
"side ships are"me
"songs?"Angie
"A lot, I love musicals" Me
"What time?" Abby asks, oh fuck, Charlie and I never talked about the time! Or date! Or anything! alright lying on the spot
"I have to find guests first, Charlie said." good lie. I smirked and snapped my fingers for a clipboard and pen. "Sign here if you do want to come" I was holding the pen out.
"I always want to come" Angle said, his friend snickered; He took my pen and signed it, gave it to his friend, "oh, did you ask Husk?" I froze fuck I forgot, "You know what he'll want to come anyway, he loves to hang out with me" he signed Husk's name; "and Cherry of course, me and cherry, not just me, I meant me and Cherry" his friends was once again smirking. I will never understand sinners. "Alright tell us when you have the date and time!" they walked off.
"Bye Angle", Yes! I have three guests! What else was I doing? Oh a bottle, where did this come from? ........... Oh the cat It's Rye and for ugh Alastor, I was planning to say sorry. Ok well husk said to go to the little cyclops.
I quickly put the bottle of Rye in my room next to my duck-Alastor. Yes I made a duck Alastor, I also have a Charlie-duck, Lilith-duck, Razzle-duck, and Dazzle-duck. Well, I made that one gold and it is on the highest shelf. Stay Focused!
Going back to the spot where I saw Nity I only saw a roach dancing? huh that's... HELLA COOL. But where are the cyclops... I walked around for a while, looking for the person, I don't want to assume the gender, sure Hugo kept using 'she/her' but you never know. oo0oo0o a roach path, well I guess Niftty can wait. I follow the roach trail all the way to
Wow
What is this, there's a roach band they're playing a nice song, oOoOO there's food!
"HEY!" suddenly there is a fish and oh! the cyclops! "You are NOT supposed to be here" said the fish, pointing his finger at me. Oh shit, wait, awwww this is a date oh how cute.
"Sorry I was looking for them" I pointed to the cyclops, this seemed to anger the fish more oh God, I need to talk faster, "Well you see kitty told to fine he-them and and then ask for-" Ummm fuck what did he call it?
"Oh! are you talking about Husk?" fitty spoke up, "What do you need?" The fish seemed to stand down when sh-they spoke. I smiled because... I'm taller than BOTH of them. anyway.
"Well I am in need of some jazz for Ala-Red guy"; I did NOT want anyone knowing I knew his name, "I need it for something I am planning" I finished. She(I have seen her dress and guessed she is a female) looked around and walked over to the Roaches. She grinned and killed one of them, ew, blood; in her hand was a key.
"Give me one second" and then she ran off. I glanced at the fish and he(?) also seemed to be grinning. Maybe he(?) likes to see his(?) girlfriend(if they have a label) excited. Oh I can invite them to my Duck Show.
"Would you like to come to my Duck show?" I offered the fish; I should probably learn his name, "it could be like a date for you and Niftty". I really hope he(?) says yes. I snapped and the clipboard was back in my hands.
"Can I learn from it?" the fish asked.
"Not always"me
"will Niffty enjoy it" fish
"well if she enjoys, songs, romance, betrayal and ducks" me
"Mmm, is it loud"fish
"not really"me
"colorful"fish
"mostly yellow"me
"I'll sign for myself and Niffty" the fish took the clipboard and sign; I looked at his name oh, Baxter. Bart played with his hands. Does he need something else? fitty came a minute later, with a couple of CDs(?). "Here you go Alastor loves this one, he and Mimzy listen to it all the time" that's it! the lady's name. Stay on task Lucifer. Right, "Do you need anything else?" she said.
I nodded, "Do you know where I can find fingers" as soon as the words came out of my mouth I cringed(not really through just in my head), what kind of question is that? "I mean like to eat" please stop talking "What Ala-Bambi wants to eat." Ugh stupid. It looks as if she was thinking but she was also looking at the roaches, so I don't really know.
She smiled, "Yes, you can get them from Rosie," um who the fuck is that?, I was was gonna ask but, "I love her demon food she cooks the best, that's why she the cannibal overlord" ooh that Rose I meant like her 35 or 1,350 years ago. Every overlord has to have my permission to become an overlord; I didn't really care but I definitely regret making tv head an overlord. I never meant Alastor though Rosie just said he will be a good overlord(she is wrong he sucks).
"Can you leave now?" the fish started to tap his foot; oops, I started walking away, to my room. On my way to my room, I was thinking of where to apologize and... nothing came to mind except my garden.
But I don't let anyone in my garden, not aft-after Lilith. Lilith loved my garden, her smile was the only reason I kept gardening it. After she left me, I let Razzle and Dazzle take care of it. They loved it too. Lilith never approved of them, but I kept for Charlie, Oh how Charlie loved to cuddle with those two. And one is gone, so I've been helping Razzle with the garden ever since. I almost offered to make another Dazzle after the battle but it just seemed wrong. And Razzle seems to get along with the egg bois; yes I remember the names Frank, Number 23, Number 666, and Number 21 those are the ones that I trust with their name. I know their names because I want to remember their names well. IT IS NOT THE SAME WITH ALASTOR, it's just I hate him soooo much my brain refuses(I have tried) to forget his name. Fuck I got off topic. Okay I guess I have to go to a Cannibal town. I hate Cannibal town
"There you are" Charlie's girlfriend approached me; "Charlie told me, she let you put on your show" she had a clipboard in her hand. She was taller than me, "Okay we need to put your duck show into the Sinner's schedule or no one will go-"cough"be able to go I mean". She doesn't think anyone will want to go?, "So what time works best-"
"No" I said, just a little mad, "My show will go on when they have free time. If they want to come, they will"; "I will not! force anyone to come" Vaggi seemed frightened, I don't really know why. I handled this conversation greatly(no I didn't). Just stop thinking about it and go to cannibal town!
Rosie wanted many rules for when I go to her town. We landed one three. I wanted none. But she is just as persistent as me. I still hate the very rule she made, making me hate the town.
I don't mind the blood or the rash eating but I do mind... "It's the king!" that. Many sinners bowed as I passed. Rosie insisted this as one of her rules and I wasn't really listening when she said it. Everyone who resides in Cannibal town must bow to me whenever we cross paths. Or be punished by no meat for a week, I did suggest that because she was gonna do death but I HATE hard punishments.
I arrived at her shop(?). Walking through the crowd was easy, everyone had to step aside. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it I hate it I hate it I fucking hate it, I FUCKING HATE IT. I'm not their stupid king I never wanted to be, I wanted to be a father, and husband... but that is not even working out. I arrived at her desk. "Oh King Lucifer" she bowed, Rosie went around her desk and hugged me, which I wouldn't mind if she didn't just call me 'King'. "You should have told me you were coming I would have held a parade for you", I know, that's exactly why I didn't tell you; "Alright everyone out you know the rules" everyone rushed out, the rule for me needing Rosie in any way is, don't interact or even be in a 50 feet radius of us and if you are then no advice from Rosie until I say, once again this rule is where I stepped in she wanted death as the punishment again. "Or perhaps you were just looking for a dear friend?" Rosie liked to assume but she was kinda right this time. But that is not what I really need(yes it is). "My king?" Rosie questioned, "Or are you Alastor pulling another prank" she deadpanned.
"NO" I yelled at hi-the name, "I mean*cough* no I'm Lu"; I decided not to say my full name. Rosie raised an eyebrow but let it go, "I just need a couple of fingers to eat, well, it's not for me"; I cringed at her widened smile after my words. I decided to add more words "I don't want them fresh just good enough"; she was slightly frowning (I think) at my words. "Please" I finished.
"Of course my king, and not that it's my business, but I love to know things" I forgot how blunt she is "Will you please tell me while I prepare your fingers" well I guess I probably could. "Of course you never have to" Rosie said again or she was tricking and couldn't really tell.
"Alright I will tell you" She twirled as the words came out. She snapped then suddenly we were in the kitchen and I was sitting on the counter. Rosie started cooking, "Alright well, I guess it started this morning"
