"Whatcha looking at Bambi?" Blitzø called out to the crimson-suited man from across the street. The one time he decides to take a walk outside of Imp City and explore the rest of the Pride Ring is the one time an overlord looks at him weirdly.
The man remained at his spot, staring at Blitzø with a wide smile. The quills on his back rattled slightly at the odd behaviour of this stranger. "Ok, totally not acting creepy or anything buddy. Love the vibes!" He says sarcastically as Blitzø makes his way down the street, opposite of wherever the weird crimson-suited man is going.
"How odd.." Alastor said to himself as he stared at the imp walking away. He never interacted with any imps before but for some reason, this imp stuck out to him. He recognised him from somewhere but he didn't know where.
"Standing out here talking to imps as usual I see" a voice says mockingly from behind him. Alastor's smile twitched hearing the glitchy chuckle coming from Vox, he completely forgot he was joining a meeting with the other overlords in the restaurant behind him. He arrived early to catch the atmosphere of how it was there for a moment. Of course, his rival would arrive after him.
"How long have you been standing there?" Alastor asked the tech demon as he held his microphone cane in his right hand. "Long enough to see you get called out by some imp, which was absolutely embarrassing for an overlord such as yourself. What? You have a kink no one should know about?" Vox asked mockingly as he raised a brow.
Alastor rolled his eyes in annoyance but then realised something. "Wait- this television technology. It can rewind itself right?" The radio demon asked so suddenly, Vox was taken aback but replied anyway "Uh, yeah. Unlike your outdated radio, it can repeat any video or recording you want. Why do you ask?" the tech demon asked as his curiosity got the best of him.
"You observed everything that happened moments ago, did you not?" Alastor asked again as he pointed to where the imp was standing. Vox nodded with a confused expression. "And you are a television right?" The radio demon took a step closer to the tech demon who responded by taking a step away from the other. "Where is this going?" Vox asked with an uncomfortable tone.
Alastor looked back at where the imp disappeared too, then back at Vox. "Repeat that interaction. I need to confirm my suspicions." Alastor commanded. Vox chuckled, "Woah woah woah, what is this? A Sherlock series? Do you really expect me to just repeat that for you? You hate me and I hate you and I should be tearing your guts out of you-" "That imp might be the cause of my death" Alastor interjected which made the tech demon stop his rambling.
"I'm sorry, you said what now?" Vox says in a tone of disbelief. "You know me well, old pal. Keep friends close but enemies closer. You know how I died and I know how you died-" Alastor words were cut off by Vox's chuckle, "It is still hilarious you were mistaken for a deer." He laughs to himself which makes the radio demon roll his eyes.
"Indeed, very funny," Alastor said in annoyance which made the tech demon raise a brow. "Ok. So...what does that have anything to do with that imp?" Vox questioned which made Alastor roll his eyes. "That imp was present during my death. I saw him." he exhaled as he looked to see the tech demon's reaction. Vox only looked confused, "Didn't you die like in the 1930s? There's no way an imp can live that long-" "That's the reason why I need you to repeat that interaction from your... screen." Alastor says as he gestured to Vox's screen.
Vox rolled his eyes, "Y'know what, fine. The faster this is over the faster I don't have to deal with this." he said as he tapped the screen that was his face. He swiped and tapped then there was a recording displayed. He tapped again and the recording started playing. Alastor moved up closer to the screen to watch the recording. Once the imp was revealed in the recording, Alastor moved very close to the screen which made the tech demon awkwardly take a small step back. To avoid Aastor from hitting his face/screen.
Alastor took a good moment observing the imp before looking away. It seemed like his mind was made up and he was done. Vox got rid of the recording and his face popped back onto the screen. "So? Was it him?" The tech demon asked out of curiosity. Alastor tapped his foot, "I'm not quite sure. He has the same appearance and voice, but that just seems unlikely. Like you said, an imp can't live that long." The radio demon said as he looked down, thinking to himself with his smile still frozen in place.
Vox got curious. He tapped his screen again and replayed the recording. He replayed it a couple of times before saying, "I think I know this fella." he says which made Alastos perk up. "Oh? How so?" Alastor asked curiously. His grin grew wide.
"Don't ask how. I just know the guy. I'm surprised I didn't recognise him at first glance..." Vox says as his face reappeared on the screen. Before Alastor could ask more they heard loud footsteps from behind them. The two overlords looked behind and saw the one and only Missi Zilla. "What you boys doing out here standing like fire hydrants?" The giant hound dino asked as she stood over them.
"Oh, nothing MZ, just gazing at the bloody sky as usual." Vox quickly responded with a grin. "Well, get your asses in here. I caught sight of Carmilla and she was bringing a shit ton load of papers. And I thought we were gonna eat. Ha Ha!" The demon laughed as she entered the restaurant. Hearing this Vox groaned, "Terrific." then entered the restaurant too. Alastor looked back at the street where the mysterious imp went off. After one final look, he walks into the restaurant, joining his fellow overlords.
