It has been a few weeks since Emily has fallen from heaven. While she was certainly not going to be forgetting what happened to her , she must say life in hell was not as bad as she expected even with her "condition" . Lucifer was nothing like she expected and was happy to call him Dad and Charlie her sister. Today Emily felt like taking a walk
Emily: For hell it is a strangely nice day
(A body falls in front of her with its head missing)
Emily: Never mind.
Emily continues walking not too concerned since she now knows the relative location of most stuff in the city and knows where to and where to not go.
Pulse being a daughter of Lucifer came with its own protection. The only people who challenged that were either idiots or overconfident.
Emily: Or in the V's case, both. ( she chucked at the notion)
A little while later:
As Emily is walking she notices a small store has recently moved into one of the vacant buildings.
(Even with Hell's overpopulation problem they still managed to maintain several abandoned buildings.)
From the outside it appeared to be a new bar, as if hell didn't already have enough of those.
Emily: "I might be a fallen angel and don't drink, but I should at least welcome someone new, besides it doesn't look to suspicious."
She enter the bar and looks around. The place has dark would floors a couple of low level lights in the ceiling and candles adorning the walls. The walls were dark black/green Looking closer at the ceiling it seemed to be designed with an intricate system of branches or roots that when observed with the rest of the room gave of the feeling of being beneath the shade of a tree on a painfully bright day.
Emily: Hello, anyone there?
UNKNOWN: Just a minute I'll be right with you.
Emily decided to take a seat at the bar and wait for the host.
Out of the back a well dressed man that had a dark jacket on (think like Alastair's clothing but black with silver highlights intend of red with black highlights) the man looked about 7 ft (not out of the regular when you have people like Angel dust walking around) the man looked quite thin and scrawny compared to most. Yet he still carried himself with pride and, at least an appearance of strength. On his head sat a slightly overly sized top hat of the same design and color. His skin seemed to be almost charcoal black but looking closer was in fact a deep scarlet. But when he turned around was the most surprising part. Now in hell Emily had seen a lot of strange and warped bodies of sinners and demons who had several aspects from horns to tentacles some even had flippers and several had extra sets of limbs. However she was not expecting to see seven eyes, a bright fire like orange, to stare back at her. Stranger still the eyes seemed to be on their sides (think the design of the helmet in amphibia last season)
UNKOWN: Hello love, can I get anything for you.
Emily: Oh! Uh... no thank you. I don't drink.
UNKNOWN: That's fine I have tea if you would like it.
Emily: You have tea? Why?
UNKNOWN: I enjoy some tea when I need to think or converse with people , pulse, while I know that their are plenty of bars, and bar is more likely to attract customers, their aren't many places that are willing to serve tea that don't cost an arm and a leg.... literally in some cases.
Emily: Well in that case can do you have....
UNKNOWN: peppermint tea? Right in front of you.
(Emily looks down and their in front of her is a cup of the happily little tea)
Emily: H...how did you do that?
UNKOWN: You seem like a generally happy person but still are in the need of some adjustment to something and need something that matches you and is able to calm you down... in other words.. lucky guess.
Emily: well.. thank you?
UNKNOWN: No problem you are the first person to visit the place yet so I am happy to help.
Emily: Oh, I'm sorry no one is visiting.
UNKNOWN: It's fine I just opened up so it is not like many people know of this place yet.
Emily: Speaking of which. That is the reason I came in here. Welcome to hell.
UNKNOWN: Well thank you but I've been in hell for a while I just recently moved to the big city. But thanks for the warm welcome. Then again I think every welcome in hell is a warm welcome.
Emily: was that a joke? Cause if it was it was awful (she chuckles a bit)
UNKOWN: You might call it down wright sinful. Ok that was the last one
Emily: Ok that was just bad. Why are you making jokes with me? We barely know each other .
UNKOWN: I could tell when you walked in here you were trying to be professional and were wary. I was trying to lighten the mood a bit.
Emily: Well thank you. Glad to know I can relax here.
UNKNOWN: Now I didn't say that. After all we all did something to wind up in hell.
(Gunshots can be heard outside and a man on fire runs by)
Emily: Fair point. Still it I nice to know there is at least some people willing to hold themselves back.
UNKOWN: (stares off to somewhere) You might want to drink your tea it might get cold soon.
Emily: ...... Thank you.
(Emily proceeds to drink her tea and thinks over this interaction)
Emily: OH!! I forgot to ask you what is your name.
UNKNOWN: You can call me..... SK
Emily: SK... Interesting name.
(She finishes off her tea and sighs in content)
Emily: Well thanks for the tea. How much does it cost.
SK: It's on the house for my first costumer.
Emily: Oh no, I insist (she takes out her credit card)
SK: It's fine.
Emily: Ok.
(Emily gets up to leave and starts heading for the door)
SK: Wait a minute. Catch.
(He tosses something to Emily and she fumbles but manages to catch it. She look at it and.it looks like a small black pendent with a orange eye in the middle like SK's (think something close to the power totems in doom eternal but palm sized))
Emily: What is this?
SK: It's a way to contact me.
Emily: Why?
SK: You seem like an interesting person and would be entertaining to be around pulse if you need help it's not like this place is swamped. (Emily looks around the empty room) So it would at least give me something to do.
Emily: Okay. Thank you. (Looks at her phone) Aw... shit, I'm late, Charlie is going to be worried. Bye now.
(She runs out the door to the hotel and the door shuts with a thud)
SK: Goodbye for now Ms. Emily
