Scrambled Eggs

Chloe was chilling at the bar with Husk and Angel as Charlie and Vaggie hung up a banner welcoming Sir Pentious.

"You sure you don't want like...actual alcohol Chlo?" Angel asked in a confused tone.

Husk answered for Chloe.

"She doesn't drink. Brings up bad memories from her childhood."

Chloe rolled her eyes.

"I'm really looking forward to shooting the other residents." Sir Pentious' voice reached Chloe's ears.

"What? Why?" Charlie asked.

"Everyone is being too nice. Obviously, it must be a lie. I can sense they are planning to kill me, but when? How? I must be prepared! Ooh! The new parts of my machine are here."

Vaggie gave an angry look.

"Carmine? As in Carmella Carmine. You are buying parts from an overlord?"

"Err, of course. She's the top weapons dealer in Hell."

"Okay, well," Vaggie said as she took the cart full of weapon parts away from the snake demon. "That stops right now."

"Hey!" Pentious protested.

"You absolutely cannot build weapons in this hotel. No one is trying to kill you. People are being nice because they want you to feel welcome."

Sir Pentious looked over at Husk and Angel, who gave him the middle finger, Chloe, who did the knife motion with her finger and her neck, and Niffty...who was being Niffty.

"Hmm. I have my doubts."

"Well, its true. You have to trust us."

"But I don't."

"Well," Charlie spoke. "Why don't we focus on that for today's activities?"

"Not before we lay some ground rules," Vaggie commanded. "No more building weapons, no more plotting against other guests."

Vaggie then pointed to the nearby egg boys, one of which had some blue marker on it saying "I call dibs!".

"And you need to get rid of these things."

One of the egg boys shot a laser through the roof of the hotel.

"Ugh! What did I just say? What did I just say?"

"What!?" Sir Pentious exclaimed as he knelt to the ground. "Not my little egg boys. They do my evil bidding for me."

"Do you want to stay here and redeem yourself?"

"Yes?"

"Then no more eggs."

"All right eggies. You've got to go," Sir Pentious said as his eyes watered. "I...cannot keep you anymore!"

"Okay boss." One of the egg boys saluted before following Vaggie. Chloe then got up from the bar and followed Vaggie and the egg boys.(But not before snatching up the one she called dibs on)

They eventually made it up to Chloe and Alastor's shared room.

"Oh god this is gonna be gross." Chloe whispered with a grimace.

They opened the door and saw Alastor eating a deer carcass with a fork while humming a song.

"Alastor!" Vaggie yelled out making the deer demon stop what he was doing.

"Do you mind? I'm in the middle of breakfast."

Chloe walked closer to her husband and put a loving hand on his shoulder. Alastor gave a loving smile at the gesture before continuing to eat.
