Y/N L/N was living the life down here in Hell - or at least, that's what it looked like. Being a burlesque dancer in her life before her unexpected death, she sought after the same type of scene when she arrived here, quickly making a deal with Vale...

"Next up isssss.. The Devil's Mistress!"
Hearing the sleazy voice over the loudspeakers made you take a deep breath. Valentino has you working double tonight and you can feel yourself getting tired. As you're rubbing your forehead, one of the backstage workers pat you on the back as if pulling you away from your thoughts.
"That's you, good luck DM" the lady whispers, giving you a nudge. Pulling the red, sparkling top up a bit and slapping a sexy smile on your face, you seductively walk through the lavish curtains in front of you. Applause and scattered whistles can be heard as you walk out. "THIQUE" echoes throughout the room as you begin to walk down the aisle to the pole, making you internally roll my eyes at the overplayed tune.
You almost immediately spot Val and his whores on his sides in the elevated balcony, his usual spot. Glancing right above him to the security camera, you see the red beeping light. Ah, so Vox was watching too. Pervert.
When you finally reach the pole, you wink before doing a little spin around. Reaching your right hand up and your left hand down, you do a body wave into a squat. Your mind wanders a bit thinking about what you're going to eat after, if Valentino lets you get a break. Bending your right knee, you rotate on your left toe to go down into the splits.
Sometimes you don't like working here. You don't like their dirty eyes on you, picturing nasty thoughts. But the power you get... The money you get showered in, being in ads on television for Vox, and occasionally getting to model for Velvette. Most every demon in hell knows your name. You're adored wherever you go by all kinds of demons and that's what you want. Fame and love. Despite having to sell part of your soul to Val, you get all the luxury. You just wish you could have it without having to do all of.. this.
Reaching up, you pull your feet in and push your butt out to stand. Slowly taking off your top, you toss it towards Val and stick your tongue out. Putting both hands back on the pole, you sweep your outside leg around and back hook it on the pole to slowly spin down to the ground with your butt facing the audience. Shaking it towards the crowd, you make eye contact with a couple of men reaching onto the stage. Climbing back up the pole, you step out left just to pull back in with your left arm. You pit down the pole and swing your right leg over to end on your knees. Hearing the song end, you give one last wink to the crowd before getting up and walking off the stage.
"And that's it for The Devil's Mistress for now, next up is The Mocking Bird-"
The voice fades as you go backstage, the same lady from before handing you your robe. You quickly tie it tight and head towards your dressing room, wiping your forehead. Opening the door to your dressing room, you see Angel Dust in there sitting at the chair in front of your mirror. In his hand is... a bag of fast food.
"You love me" you let out a sigh of relief, going over and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Was out and thought of you toots, can't let my confidant go hungry" he laughed, handing you the bag. You eagerly take it and sit out on the small futon on the sidewall of your dressing room. Pulling out the burger, you unwrap it as you relish the smell.
"God, you have no idea how hungry I am Angel" you take a bite, "Val has had me working for what feels like a century!"
"Trust me, I know. Val will have me working 16 hour shifts at a time." you nod in response, nearly scarfing down the food from the bag.
"I just finished a performance. Vox doesn't know I knew he was watching through that beeping security camera by Val" you laugh.
"At least he can have a good time." He snatches one of my fries from me before continuing, "the only good time I have down here is when I'm at that stupid hotel to rehabilitate myself or whatever they have me doin'"
"Hotel?" you question, before it clicks in my mind, "holy shit! That happy hotel that Lucifer's daughter is running?! You can't be serious!"
"I know, I know. I thought it was bullshit too" he chuckles, "but the people there are really sweet and she lets me stay there for free. Judgment free zone, most of the time at least..."
"You can't think that shit ACTUALLY works right? You sold your soul, you can't escape."
"Hey! Don't knock it till you try it! When I'm an angel in heaven, you're gonna be realllll mad when you're stuck down here." you can only laugh, finishing the rest of your drink and crumpling the bag. "Even if it doesn't REALLY work, it's such a nice escape from all of... this. The people there make me feel like I'm more than just some coked up pornstar and it seems like they're making me into a... better demon in the process."
"Don't get all corny on me now Angel. But I see what you mean. There's not many places you can go without escaping from Val. Whenever I leave, he always blows up my phone asking me where I'm going or asking me to stay to be a 'stress reliever' even when I'm off the clock."
"Yeah, well, you get used to it after a while.." he let out a sigh before turning back to you with a sly smirk, "happy I could satisfy your hunger that those other men couldn't."
"HahaHA, you think you're soooooo funny-"
Your sentence is cut short when we hear the door slam open. There standing in the entry way is both Val and Vox. Great, some of your least favorite people are coming to bother you on your break.
"Y/NNNNNNN... And Angel too. Two of my favorite whores in one place" Val laughs lightly, causing Angel to roll his eyes and turn to you.
"Imma head out, hope you enjoyed your food." You wave lightly to him as he walks off.
"Awww, leaving the party so soon?" Val teased, smacking Angel's ass on his way out.
Gross.
"Your performances have been great all night, you've been radiant" Vox complimented, taking your hand and kissing it.
"Don't flatter her V, I think you're doing a bit too much of the boobs and not enough of the ass. Plus, this last performance was getting sloppy near the end." You glare at Val, snatching your hand away from Vox.
"Hey, I'm tired and hungry! You've been having me work nearly nonstop for the last 14 hours Val! It's not fair for you to bitch at me."
"Listen sweetheart, your friend Angel has worked shifts for me nearly double that with little breaks. The difference is he gets fucked by multiple guys at once while you prance around a stage and show your tits. Be grateful I give you this job instead of bitching to ME!" Val shouted, making you turn away from him. Vox interrupted the tense atmosphere with a cough.
"Awkward.. Anyways, I need you to try and get a couple of demons around the club to sign up for the preorder of our company's new Angelic Security for me. Since the last extermination, demons have been so scared to 'try and stay alive' so if we promote it enough, our sales will skyrocket! Point blank, I need more souls and you..." Vox grabs your chin and makes you face him, "can help me get them."
"Really? After you just heard me complaining about how long my shift has been? Can't we wait until another night or get someone else to do it?"
"You know you're my favorite sugar! And you're just so good at your job..." he leaned in close and made his eye hypnotizing, "just remember for hefty I pay you when you do your job well." Gulping, you hesitantly took at the clipboard he's holding out in front of you. Despite how much you despised being his advertisement, you knew that it would do you some good to stay on his positive side. This was going to be a long night...
