Lover of Hell

Coffee Date with the Devil

Everything was red.

Well, almost everyone thinks Hell is at least red with intense fires and screaming. But apparently not.

It was like being in a canyon.

I took my time looking around the area, finding that it was a bit on the warmer side, but otherwise, it wasn't that bad. I chuckled under my breath. "And you'd think Hell would be hotter." And thus i trudged on ahead.

While slowly walking around, I came across these skeletons that were blocking the way. I couldn't go around them since they were blocking the path. I lifted my leg and gave a sharp kick at one of them, causing the skeleton to stumble back and land on the ground. I stepped over them and continued on until there were these boulders.

Similar to what I did to the skeleton, I kicked the boulder, only for it to roll forward instead.

I grumbled at this before kicking it again until a path was revealed.

Walking along the now freed path, only to stand face to face with a tired looking woman white bone white hair, pale skin, deep red eyes and a red and black suit.

The woman wore glasses, and obviously seemed very tired, but what caught me off guard, was that this Lady was a demon. "Name's Pandemonica, Hell's Customer Service, how may I help you?"

I stared at her for a few minutes, she had severe bags under her eyes as well. "Forget about me, what about you? You look like you're about to pass out." I furrowed my eyebrows. Reminding back in the days when I started working at a big company.

It was gruesome and tiresome as I was overloaded with work for not only myself, but for others too, so I chugged an unhealthy amount of coffee.

Pandemonica perked slightly while slumping over. "Thanks, that's actually pretty sweet of you. I could honestly use some coffee, I'm never myself without it." I smiled, nodding in agreement. "I know how that feels, want some company too?" The woman nodded and I went off to find a coffee machine, which was thankfully wasn't too far, but definitely far enough that Pandemonica couldn't leave her post.

Taking a thermos that comes with a cup as the cap, and two disposable coffee cups, I filled them both with coffee, I brought a small cup filled with creamer and then some packets of sugar in case Pandemonica liked her coffee with creamer and/or milk.

Tucking the packets in my pocket of my coat, I headed on back to Pandemonica who was still waiting. "Here's some coffee, I also filled a thermos for you if you need it too." Handing over the coffee along with the thermos, she smiled gratefully, the clipboard tucked under her arm while she held the coffee and thermos in both hands.

"Thanks darling." Her gaze had softened considerably then took a gulp of the coffee.

The bags under her eyes disappeared, making me a bit envious on that part, but her horns, which were originally small and a bit rounded, were now curved and sharp.

When she opened her eyes, her eyes had also sharpened considerably. "Mm.. That hit the spot. So, darling. What are you doin' down here in Hell?" Her question threw me off from my train of thoughts.

I blinked rapidly before taking a small sip from my coffee to continue pondering on how to answer. The new side of Pandemonica had a smirk when she had taken notice of my silence, but didn't comment about it and sipped hers as well.

"Well.. Ahem.. I came here to get a harem of demon guys." Pandemonica raised an eyebrow. "You'll find mostly women here. But, if you're still looking for a harem, I wouldn't be against joining." she leaned in, two fingers pressing against my chest, towards the buttons of the coat. "Of course, it's your call~"
