"Hiii! I'm Charlie." Charlie greeted nervously, trying to go for a handshake.
"Katie Killjoy." Katie greeted back nonchalantly, blowing out the smoke of her cigarette. "I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but that would be a lie."
She throws away her cigarette and gestures to Charlie's hand.
"And you can put that away. I don't touch the gays. I have standards!"
"Yeah? How's uh... how's that working out for ya?"
Charlie turns to look around nervously.
"Look, my time is money. So, I'll keep this short."
Katie proceeds to poke Charlie on the chest.
"You're not here because we wanted you here. You're here because Jeffrey couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment."
A billboard of Jeffrey's cannibalism cooking show titled "It's Dahm Good!" can be seen in the background.
"You might be some royal big shot,"
Katie fluffs her hair sassily.
"But that doesn't mean shit to me. I'm too rich and too influential to give a flying fuck about what some tux-wearing demon 'princess' wants to advertise." she said, air quoting the word 'princess' with her finger.
Tom can be seen shaking his head in disapproval as Katie boasts about her wealth and influence to Charlie.
"But, I-"
Katie cuts Charlie off and continues to poke her chest.
"So, don't get cute with me, honey, or I will fucking bury you!" she said threatening, clenching her fist with a crack noise in the process.
"And we're live!" News Staff announced.
Katie rushes back to her desk, holding papers while cracking her neck before tilting it back in place.
"Welcome back! So, Charlotte!"
"It's... Charlie." Charlie corrected, smiling nervously as a spotlight flashes her way.
"Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about!" Katie fake smiled, trying to hold in her outburst by clenching her pen.
Charlie looks around as Vaggie motions her to go on.
"Well..." she started, clearing throat and exhaling. "...as most of you know, I was born here in Hell and growing up, I always tried to see the good in everyone around me."
Katie spots a slug and stabs it with her pen, the slug's blood bursts all over.
"Hell is my home and—"
She stops and gets slug blood splattered across her cheek which she then wipes off.
"You are my people. We... We just went through another extermination."
Vaggie is seen giving Charlie two thumbs up as Katie quickly starts to lose interest.
"We lost so many souls, and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. No one is even given a chance!" she said, slamming her fist on the table, waking Katie up.
Charlie then walks up from Katie's desk.
"I can't stand idly by while the place I live is subjected to such violence! So, I've been thinking: Isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation here in Hell?"
Charlie walks around the audience.
"Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through... redemption?"
