pov: Alastor

''Charlie dear, can we go? Rosie doesn't have all day today.'' ''In a minute Alastor. I want my father to come with me.'' ''Why?'' ''To make up for not wanting to do anything with him two days ago.'' ''Mhm.'' I sit down at the bar with Husker and Angel Dusk and wait for Charlie to finish. ''Hey Alastor!'' What does that spider want from me again! ''What's wrong Angel?'' ''You and the king would go well together.'' I scowled at him. ''I won't belong to anyone.'' ''Everyone falls in love sometimes and I'll bet my life that you'll fall in love with the Little King.'' ''I have never loved anyone and never will. I will not be put in chains!'' As soon as I said that, I looked menacingly at Husker. He is the only one who knows that someone owns my soul. It makes me all the angrier that I have to deal with his man. That was the biggest mistake of my life in hell. Making a deal with the Queen of Hell Lillith was a big mistake. She took away some of my strength and let me babysit while she lived a cushy life in heaven. Does Lucifer know that his beloved wife is in heaven? He would never believe me so I couldn't care less, except for my radio and my broadcasts of course. ''We can Alastor!'' shouted Charlie, who was already at the door. ''I'll say goodbye then.'' I got up and joined Charlie and Lucifer. Together we walked towards Cannibal City. Many other sinners avoided us as usual. ''Dad, have you ever heard of Rosie?'' ''No, little one.'' ''She's a nice and helpful lady. Alastor introduced me to her. They're really good friends and they're both Overlords!'' ''Alastor is an Overlord?'' ''Yes. That's why he's a great asset to us. Overlords have a lot of influence and can be good investors.'' ''Charlie my dear, there's no need to compliment.'' ''But it's true, Alastor.'' ''I didn't say it wasn't true.'' I walked on in silence as Charlie and Lucifer talked about God and the world. After all, we're almost there! When we walked into her store, Rosie noticed us immediately. ''OMG Alastor, it's nice to see you again! Rosie and I hugged each other in greeting. ''Hello Rosie, you look cannibalistically good as always. ''Hehe you charmer.'' ''Hello Rosie!'' ''Hello Charlie!'' ''Rosie, I'd like you to meet my father.'' ''Hello. I am Rosie Overlord of Cannibal City and you?'' ''I am Lucifer King of Hell.'' ''Oh your majesty.'' Rosie bows to him out of courtesy. I just roll my eyes. ''What brings you to me?'' ''Me and Alastor have a little argument about a business matter. Alastor says we need a cannibal menu to attract sinners from Cannibal City to our hotel, I say we don't need one. Now let's get a second opinion.'' ''I agree with Alastor. In cannibal town there is more peace but still they are cannibals. You won't find a cannibal going anywhere that doesn't have a cannibal menu. To lure them to you, you should offer something like this.'' ''But how do we get the stuff?'' ''I'll take care of that Charlie. I'll find suppliers, let me worry about that.'' ''If you can manage that, that would be great Alastor! Maybe my dad can help?'' ''That won't be necessary. Thanks for your opinion Rosie. We should get straight to work.'' ''Always happy to help Alastor!'' We said goodbye and left her store. ''Okay. So a cannibal menu. Are you already thinking about something, Alastor?'' ''Absolutely, my dear.'' ''And what exactly?'' ''A few stews and fingers as snacks.'' ''And how do we make the sinners from Cannibal City aware of this? With the help of your broadcast, perhaps.'' ''I'd rather not. First of all, it's not decent to talk about cannibalism on the radio. You don't talk about cannibalism on the radio. It could also be a symbol for sinners that the hotel is geared towards cannibals and we don't want that. It should be for all sinners who want a second chance in life. That's your dream Charlie and we shouldn't send the wrong signals. I was thinking more of posters.'' ''Posters? Sounds good!'' ''I'll leave the design to you Charlie, but it will only be put up in Cannibal City.'' ''Understood. That's a good idea Alastor. Dad do you want to help me design the poster?'' ''I don't know...'' ''Dad cannibals are just as important as any other guest. Imagine if Alastor didn't finance the hotel, but another overlord did. Then we'd be bankrupt because no one puts money into something that doesn't make a profit. We only have one guest so far and that's Sir Pentious, who would have ruined our business if Alastor hadn't been here. ''All right. I'll help you with the posters.'' ''Really?'' ''Yes, really.'' ''Thanks Dad!'' Charlie yelled, hugging Lucifer. I just rolled my eyes and kept quiet. When we got back, I immediately said goodbye so I could do my broadcast. The whole thing took an hour. Then I take care of the menu. I've already finished the menu since I played Music, now all that's missing are the suppliers, but I'll get them easily and if not, a little force will do the trick. What could possibly go wrong? So Alastor sets off to find suppliers. Without knowing that a lot will change when he returns.

Sorry that an update only came at the end of the week but there was a lot more going on this week. Hope you like it. Have a nice day!
