Chapter VI - Beauty & the Bet

You and Alastor were punctual — per usual. Aside from his impressive body count and iconic radio show, Alastor was also famously known for his old-fashioned mannerisms and being a gentleman.

Alastor parked in front of the Overlord's building, opening the door for you and holding his hand out for you to take.

You smiled and took his hand in your own. He grinned back a you and held his arm out.

Linking it, he led you inside.

"Nervous?" he muttered to you, his voice soft, and barely above a whisper.

"A bit," you whispered back. "Lucifer told me that some of the other Overlords are...assholes," you admitted.

He let out a hushed chuckle, but not too loud, as to not bring in too much attention. "He's not wrong. There are a few I'm...not quite too fond of."

You glanced over to see another Overlord. You immediately recognized him. He was Angel's boss.

What was his name? Vitale? Vangough?

You smiled at the demon. "Hel-"

Alastor's eyes widened and he covered your mouth, quickly leading you away from the other Overlord. "Don't talk to him. Do not talk to him," Alastor told you sternly.

"What? Why?" you asked.

"He's a porn director," Alastor said grimly, practically cringing at the word. (Which, you supposed made sense, him being asexual and all.)

"...oh."

"Ah, there's a lovely darling!" Alastor said, his eyes lighting up as he spotted a tall, skeletal-looking woman. "Rosie, dear! How are you?"

The woman -- now named Rosie -- spun around as Alastor spoke.

"Alastor? Alastor!" she called to him.

"Rosie!"

"Alastor! It's so good to see you, old friend!" Rosie threw her arms around Alastor, holding him in a tight embrace, which he returned eagerly.

You stood there awkwardly, not exactly sure of what to do.

"And who's this?" she gasped in delight. "Are you the new Overlord?"

You smiled at her. "I am! The name's (Y/N), pleasure to meet you Rosie!"

Rosie beamed at you. "(Y/N), pleasure's all mine. I've heard a thing or two about your heroic actions back at the hotel..." she said with a wink.

"Overlords!" a female voice called, stepping into the lobby. She had long grey hair, her complexion matching her hair color. It was pulled back in a tall bun. "Gather in the meeting room, it's time we start."

Rosie gave your hand a tight squeeze. "Ooh you're going to love this!!"

One hour earlier...

Vox slipped into the limo with his friends, on Velvette's right (as always.)

"Tuh!" she scoffed. "Took you long enough."

Vox rolled his eyes. "You guys are assholes," he grumbled.

"Mmm, you think we don't know that?" Valentino said, blowing out a puff of pink smoke in Vox's face.

Vox coughed. "Watch where you're blowing that shit!" he scolded.

Valentino rolled his eyes and continued drawing smoke from his cigarette.

Both Vox and Velvette coughed as they plugged their noses.
