3rd POV

In Alastor's Room

     Alastor gasped as he woke up. Frantically, he checked his surroundings. A soft sigh escaped his lips. "Thank goodness. It was just a dream." He pushed the maroon blanket off his lithe body.

     Alastor then swung his legs so that they were dangling from the side. With a groan, he moved his body off the bed. Alastor turned to look at his shadow. "What's the matter, dear? It was just a dream, darling. Here, instead of sulking around, we can give Rosie a call. We can have a friends' night out in the Cannibal Colony." Alastor's shadow perked up at the idea of hanging out with Rosie. They nodded excitedly.

Alastor gave a small giggle at the shadow's behavior. "Alright then. Let's go to the tower and give her a ring." After Alastor said that, his shadow whisked his body away.

Alastor took a deep breath. Oh, how he loved the scent of his tower. It was a familiar mixture of cinnamon and incense. The shadow stomped his feet. Alastor giggled, "Okay, I'll stop lounging about." Alastor's covered hooves moved on soundlessly against the uneven floorboards. Once the deer demon made it to the antique telephone, he fiddled with the dial. Afterwards, Alastor put the red telephone against his fluffy ears.

The bulky telephone rang twice before Rosie finally answered. "Rosie speaking."

Alastor grinned, "Hello, Rosie. It's me, Alastor. I hoped you would accompany me to the Cannibal Colony. As of late, I've been lonely and would appreciate your company. Of course, only if it isn't too much trouble for you." Rosie snickered.

She then answered, "Oh, I'd love to, Alastor. I'm free right now. In about 30 minutes, I'd be ready to go." Alastor's shadow grinned mirrored

Alastor's smile. "That sounds splendid, Rosie. Should we meet at the hotel or your house?"

     Rosie happily responded, "We could meet at my house. I've got something cool to show you."

"Okay, see you in 30 minutes, dear," Alastor responded.

     Then Alastor changed into some '20s attire. He wore a white button-up with a bright red-colored coat on top of it. The trousers Alastor wore matched his top. To finish his outfit, he wore dark cherry red shoes with red accents. Alastor pushed open the wardrobe door open. A smile spread over Alastor's face.

"How does it look, darling?" Alastor asked. He did a little twirl for his shadow. The shadow nodded his head while giving a thumbs up.

     "Perfect," Alastor said as he walked towards the tall mirror. He turned, so his backside was facing the mirror. He stared at the mirror, checking for even the slightest hint of his fluffy tail.   

     Satisfied with his appearance, Alastor walked towards his vanity. The deer sat down and inspected the materials in front of him. First, he added some blush to his pale grey cheeks. Then Alastor added a dark maroon red eyeshadow to his eyelids and black mascara on his eyelashes. To finish his pretty basic makeup routine, he put some tinted chapstick on his lips. Alastor grinned at his reflection.

     Alastor turned to his shadow and said, "I think I'm all ready to go."

     Alastor entered his living room after walking down the stairs. As Alastor walked to the small table near his door, he glanced at the clock on the wall. It read 10:34. He grinned. Right on time, as per usual. A drawer near the door held his wallet and keys. He pushed open the door and locked it. His shadow turned their head. Alastor nodded, "Take me to Rosie's home." Shadows consumed the two bodies as they teleported to their desired location.

~~~~~~In Rosie's Home~~~~~~

The sound of Alastor's shoes landing on the hardwood flooring reverberated throughout the residence. "Rosie, are you ready?" Alastor called out.

A feminine voice responded, "I'm all dressed up, Ally" The telltale sound of heels on wooden flooring made Alastor's ears perk up.

Alastor turned around, "Perfect. Should we take our leave?"

Rosie grinned as she hooked their arms. "We should go to the Cardinal Cafe. It is said to have excellent food and entertainment."

The perfect distraction. "Why I think that is a splendid idea," and with that, the duo was warped to the Cannibal Colony.

Vox's POV

"VOX, GET UP. HURRY UP OR I'M LEAVING WITHOUT YOU." Shit.

"I'm going, damn. You can't wait five minutes?" I groaned as I got off the stiff bed.

"I've been waiting for 20 fucking minutes, Voxxy. I'm tired of it," Valentino grumbled. With a roll of his eyes, Vox began to dress.
Valentino did say nostalgia, so maybe he should go with one of his older outfits. Picking out a worn cyan shirt with an elongated collar and black trousers, Vox tried to hurry. The final touch was a black belt with matching leather shoes.

Vox looked himself over in the mirror. "Jeez, it's been so long since I've worn something like this."

Valentino's shrill voice interrupted Vox, "Voxxy, I'm gonna leave your ass here if you don't come down right now!"

Vox rolled his eyes and shouted back, "Okay, okay! I'm going down now," he quietly added, ", you jackass."

"I heard that, you box-headed bastard!" Valentino retaliated. Vox's shoulder slumped. I can never win, can I? Shoulders slumped, Vox begrudgingly made his way to the hallway.

Standing a few feet in front of him was Valentino. As always, he towered over Vox. The taller demon leaned forward, closer to Vox's screen. A sneer leered down at Vox. And without hesitation, Valentino blew a pink puff of smoke at Vox.

Vox coughed and fanned the smoke away. "Jeez, Val. Do you have to be such an ass?"
Valentino rolled his eyes. "C'mon Voxxy. We have a full day ahead of us~"
