You wake up to the rocking sound of the ceiling fan above you. It wasn't going to fall out, but it wasn't put in well. He looked to his left and saw something odd, a present. He leaned up and sat on the edge of the bed. He grabbed the small rectangular box and opened it. Y/N instantly realized what it was, a phone. On the phone box, there was a sticky note that said:
Hey Y/N, you said you needed a phone so here you go! -Charlie ❤
'That freaking nice girl' Y/N thought as he chuckled at the idea. He got the phone out and set it up real quick, making it his. After a few minutes, he had made it through the setup and shoved it in his pocket of his new Hell clothes, which felt fine, he had definitely gotten worse from crappy retail stores. He put on his shoes, which were still the ones that had been travelled across for what seemed like all of Hell, and had no rubber on the bottom. "I'm not gonna ask her for new shoes, she's given me so much already" he said to himself as he exited the room. He went down to get a snack to eat before getting on his phone to learn a bit more about Hell, he had learned plenty about how it operated and its history from all the books, but wasn't up to date on all the current stuff. He headed down to see Angel flirting with Husk, but Husk just turned him down and pushed an entire bottle of tequila his way with huff.
"Thanks Husky" Angel said in a seductive voice, before popping the lid off the bottle.
"I swear If you call me that one more fucking time, I'm actually going to kill myself" he groaned in annoyance, returning to drinking his own personal bottle of booze.
"Hey Y/N! Come here" Charlie said, causing him to flick his head towards her. He saw her and Vaggie on the couch, presumably talking about something before he came in. He walked over and sat down next to them.
"Hey! Charlie, I just wanna say thank you so much for everything! I promise once I find some kind of job down here I'll pay you back" he said, trying not to be a freeloader. Vaggie and Charlie looked at each other nervously.
"Um, Y/N" Vaggie started, putting her hand behind her neck. "No offense, but because you're human, I honestly don't think you could get a job down here" she said, trying not to anger him. Y/N made the letter 'o' with his mouth before sitting silently for a few seconds, before coming back into the conversation.
"Anyways, why did you want me to come over here?" he asked, curious if this had to do with anything he had told Vaggie last night.
"Well, you said you wanted powers for whatever reason" Charlie said, with Y/N responding as quick as lighting.
"Yes, and.." he trailed off, hoping for a positive answer. "We might have a way to generate your powers since you skipped out on that phase" she said before getting up, and then Vaggie following her.
"Huh?" he asked, wondering what phase he missed.
"Just come out back" Vaggie said, as the door shut behind him. Y/N shrugged his shoulders and headed to the door. "Hey! If you guys are doing a threesome I wanna make it a four" Angel said, watching the scene play out with no context. Y/N scoffed and rolled his eyes, and continued to the door and out the back of the hotel, to find a wide backyard of sorts with Charlie and Vaggie waiting for him.
"What do you mean I 'missed a phase'?" Y/N asked, clearly confused on how he was supposed to get powers.
"Well you see, you got to this little place after you die, if you're going to Hell where you transform into a demon, then you fall into Hell" Vaggie said, remembering her experience.
"Ok, so since I was dragged down here I just bypassed that level?" he asked, approaching the group.
"Pretty much" Charlie said, before pulling out a small notepad. "So me and Vaggie did a little research this morning and found out in order to activate your powers, which is like learning to walk for demons, you have to rely on a emotional moment in your life" Charlie said, occasionally looking at her notepad.
'Oh shit' Y/N thought, instantly thinking of Sinville, which gave him a pit in his stomach. "Ok, so just channel an emotional memory. Does it matter which kind?" Y/N asked.
"Um, as long as it effected you deeply I think it should be good" Vaggie said, peering over Charlie's shoulder, scanning over the notes coming up with an answer.
"Ok, go it" he said, closing his eyes and focusing on Sinville. Even though he hated the event, it may be his ticket out of corruption. He felt the pain, the guilt and then he was in the moment again. Suddenly, he felt his wound pulsating and his eyes widened, knowing what would happen if he kept going.
"I don't think this is working" Y/N said, taking a giant breath.
"Well, try focusing on a different memory" Vaggie said, standing with her hands on her hips beside Charlie.
"Gladly" he said under his breath, focusing on something not that brutal. His first kiss, no not strong enough. Broken bone, something, but lacking a lot. His mind returned back to Sinville, and his wound began to pulsate again. 'No, no, no, no!' he thought, trying to think of anything else, but he was already in too deep. He felt the burning pain sprouting from the wound. He let out a pained breath, earning the attention of the distracted duo of girls.
"Y/N! Are you ok?" they said rushing forward, but Y/N stopped them.
"I'm fine" he managed to breath and he stood straight up, but then immediately collapsed to the ground as he released a monstrous screech.
Charlie and Vaggie had to cover their ears, looking at each other concerned. The screeching stopped and Y/N held himself on the ground, releasing a painful cry every few seconds. "Y/N! Please tell me you're ok" Charlie said emotionally, she was worried and sad, but not straight out sobbing. Tears were on the edge however.
"Uh, Charlie, look" Vaggie said, and both girls stepped back. Y/N looked at himself and his normal, human flesh skin was turning to a charcoal color.
"What the hell?" he gasped, his eyes bouncing at each exposed moment of his body. Just then, a familiar static noise was heard and the Radio Demon himself appeared.
"Alastor, what are you-" Charlie started, but as soon as he arrived, he disappeared. Then they realized, he didn't leave alone. He took Y/N with him.
Y/N realized his surroundings had changed, and the tall red demon was above him with a syringe.
"Now I never tried this on a human before, but you don't look fully human anymore" he said, penetrating his skin with the needle and pressing down, inserting the liquid within Y/N's veins. The pain suddenly stopped and Y/N stood up. He looked at Alastor, then looked back at his arms. The veins were still there, but they had stopped for some reason.
"What did you just put in me?!" he asked, wondering what the crap Alastor just drugged him with.
"Think of it as a painkiller for demons" he said grimly, and Y/N noticed that he was in the lobby of the hotel.
"Alright" he said, before he felt a giant pain and bright light erupted from his mark.
"Ooo, how intriguing" Alastor said with his usual smile. 'Oh boy' thought Y/N, as he realized someone, had found out about him, and judging about how powerful and knowledgeable, lying would be suicide. He got ready to explain what a monster he was, and still afraid of the outcome, even though it was inevitable.
