The Devil was sleeping as he lifted up his sleeping mask as he smiled taking his sleeping mask off stretching a bit putting on his Devil slippers as you can hear souls wailing as The Devil opened up the curtain smiling loving the sound of screaming souls
"Ah, beautiful day" The Devil said as the souls continued to scream The Devil scratched his back going up the a cart seeing a donut box he smiled interested in having one
"Ooh! Don't mind if I do" The Devil wiggled his fingers about to grab his donut about to take a bite but got interrupted by the Stickler himself "Excuse me" Sticker said The Devil shook a bit looking at sticker already annoyed what Stickler has to say now "Henchman, bring more donuts as for you..."
The Devil shot a fire ball at Stickler but he was still wearing the sweater The Devil made an irritated face "Still wearing the invisible impenetrable sweater, I see"
The Devil said "I come with news from the annual ledger review" Stickler said putting up his finger "Thrill me, Stickler"
The Devil said not really interested or amused to hear what Stickler had to say "Apparently you have not collected a single soul in months"
Stickler said "Yeah there's more to life than work, Stickler now, if you don't mind, I'm trying to start my day" The Devil was about to sit down on his throne but got launched into the air by a bubble falling on the ground in front of Stickler as his pitchfork also went flying "What was that?"
The Devil asked "That is one of the bubbles of Failure they will entomb everything you cherish your bed, your coffee mug, your paintings" Stickler making a list of things as even the donut was in a bubble "Aw..." The Devil said in a sad tone
"And why is that, exactly?" The Devil asked "To encourage soul collection no new souls, no access to belongings" Stickler said holding up a book to show The Devil "This is an outrage! Who instituted this miserable policy?"
The Devil asked "You did" Stickler answered "I did?" The Devil asked again "Yes" Stickler answered again "I did?" The Devil pointed at himself "Yes" Stickler said again "I did?" The Devil asked again "Yes"
Stickler answered his question "Oh well, you have to admit, that is pretty evil" The Devil chuckled "Per clause 5488 subsection C..."
Stickler showed the book to The Devil as Henchman flew by in a bubble "Uh, boss?" Henchman said confused "You must collect a singles soul within one business day if you fail"
Stickler licked his finger turning to the next page "All assets will remain permanently sized" Stickler explained "Fine I'll use this opportunity to finally get the cup's soul"
The Devil said "Obtaining any soul will satisfy the requirements" Sticker said "I'm getting the cup's soul, and that's the end of it"
The Devil said a bit anger "Your hubris will be your downfall" The Devil was about to grab his pitchfork but it turned into a bubble as well "Ah! My pitchfork!"
The Devil yelled as he heard a ding seeing also the elevator "My elevator! Now how am I supposed to get to the surface world?"
The Devil asked "Looks like someone is taking the stairs" Stickler said walking backwards "Oh right the stairs" The Devil walked over to the stairs looking up how tall and long it was "Ugh"
The Devil said groaned annoyed "That fathead Stickler..." The Devil mumbled angry meanwhile back at the cottage you, Mugman and Cuphead ran out the house laughing jumping over the goat as Elder Kettle tried to catch up with you three "Kids, wait!"
Elder Kettle yelled seeing the goat was in front of him as he pushed it aside "Out if the way, goat, when you be back from the movies?"
Elder Kettle asked as you three stopped running in place "How about when he quits being so clingy?"
