Knock! Knock! Knock!

Waking up from the knocking I groaned before sitting up. Looking at my night stand I noticed the time on my clock. Dear me, I was supposed to wake up about an hour ago. Seems my alarm didn't go off like it should have. Getting up I walked over to a hanger grabbing my robe heading to the door. Walking to my door, opening it I saw Miss Mayberry dressed and ready for the day. In her hands was a box.

"Morning sir, I had a feeling your alarm clock didn't go off. Apparently there was a small power outage last night"

"Yes you are right, what is this?", I asked, pertaining to the box in her hand. Handing it to me she answered.

"your new suit just came in. Also you should get ready for the day sir. You have a very important meeting soon", she said, taking a step back. Oh yes, that's right. Carmilla called for a meeting with the overlords today. Most likely to assess the recent extermination. Which reminds me that Corvus called yesterday asking if he could accompany me to the meeting.

"Well, I'm sure you can handle cases for the day along with other business", I said, earning a small nod.

"Well done miss Mayberry, I'll want a report by my return. Please don't work you self ragged like I do *Chuckles*. Good day", I said before going back into my room. Setting the box on my bed, I opened it to see my new suit with a smile. Putting it on I made a mental note to make sure to order two more for spares. After I was dressed I headed down to the lobby.

"eh, that new suit really fits you Charon~", Angel complimented. Making my eyes glow I got an eye roll.

"Oh I like the hint of color. Always thought your suits were a little too dark", Charlie said walking in with Vaggie.

"Even I have to admit it looks like a good look", Vaggie commented.

"I thank you all for your compliments. I also am sorry to say that I will be exposed today for there is a meeting with fellow overlords I need to attend", I said, tightening my gloves some more. Even I had to admit this was a nice change of pace. Haven't changed my style in over four hundred years.

Our conversation soon ended when I saw Sir Pentious, our new guest, wheeling in a death ray. Strange enough his egg henchmen were riding on top of it. Looking at my watch I checked how much longer until I needed to be there. Seems I have time to deal with this situation.

"Sir Pentious, may I ask why you're bringing weapons into the Hotel?", I asked him.

"Even though it's against Hotel rule", Vaggie commented with a glare.

"Oh sir Charon I didn't bring this wonderful contraption, I invented it. I'm really looking forward to shooting the other residents with this", he said, rubbing his hands together.

"Wait what!? Why!?", Charlie asked

"Everyone is being too nice. Obviously it must all be a lie. I can sense they are planning to kill me but when? how? I must be prepared!", Pentious explained. Trust issues, now that's a hard one to deal with. Hearing the doors of the hotel open I saw Carmilla's kids enter with weapons.
