The Scarlet King is back

Arrival pt 2

SK: I would be happy to be introduced to the residents of this establishment.
Charlie: Ok first there is me. Hi, Im princes Charlie Morningstar. But please just call me Charlie.
She runs over to Vaggie
Charlie: This is my girlfriend Vaggie, she helps me run the hotel and...
Vaggie: AND I protect her and this place from anyone trying to harm it. (She squints at the scarlet king)
SK: (staring at her with a questioning expression) Charming
Vaggie starts to growl at SK
Charlie: Anyway... This is Angel he is our first resident at the hotel. Though he is seen as staff and helps us with the hotel ( Vaggie: when he wants to)
(SK looks over to Angel)
SK: And what do you do?
Angel: I am part of the marketing baby, (looking SK over) let me know if you ever want to get closer in private (he says in a sultry tone)
SK: HA! No.
Angel: "why do I have a feeling of deja vu" Your loss babe.
Charlie: And this is Husker our resident barkeep. (She gets close to Husker hugging one of his shoulders with one of her arm and he grumbles in response)
SK: Ah! A man after my talents. What led you to bartend here of all places.
Husker: If you think for one second I'm here by choice... The only reason I came here is because HE (points to Alastor) forced me to come here and the only reason I stayed is because they got cheap booze for me to drink.
(Charlie quickly interjects)
Charlie: Speaking of Al, this is Alastor the Radio Demon.
Vaggie: Also known the psychopathic serial killer prick of the hotel.
Charlie roles her eyes and Alastor just squints at her.
Alastor: Pleasure to meet you my good man it is high time someone else comes around the establishment with a sense of style and manners. Speaking of witch...
He reaches down and picks Niffty
Alastor: this little darling is Niffty.
Niffty: Hi ya. (She looks over SK and giggles) Are you a new bad boy? (She says showing off her own style of a sadistic grin)
SK: Arn't we all bad boys and girls since we wound up here.
Niffty: I guess. Oh! Just remembers where I saw an insect nest. Let me go take care of that.
She bolts up the stairs in a blur.
SK: Well, that was something?
Charlie: Yah... we're like 70 to 60 percent sure she's safe. Oh yah...
She rushes over to Emily
Charlie: This as you know is Emily. The second Morningstar Princess to the throne and my dear sister.
Emily: Hi.
SK: Glad to have a formal introduction to you M... Emily.
Charlie: So now that that is out of the way why don't I take you on a quick tour of the hotel or we could take a longer one if you want.
SK: What ever you see fit Charlie. ("As if I didn't already know")
Charlie: Short it is then... well this is the lobby and commons room over there is the fire place for if you need to sit or relax. It also happens to be the spot where I plan out friendship activities.
SK: Friendship activities?
Charlie: Oh! yah. Look I know it's silly, but I feel like part of the responsibility of helping people redeem themselves is to give them lessons on how to behave better and earn their redemption. Plus, it also allows the residents and staff to get to know each other.
SK: I don't find it silly at all my dear. Teaching people how to get and be better is a very important step in any rehabilitation process. Not only that but having the right or wrong mind set can create a very  different thought ("SCARLET DEMON: Ḷ̸̳̑̄̀͌̇͋͆̇͑͂̀̿̉̈͘͜͠i̴͖̬̗̯̽̿ͅk̸̥̫͍̩͔̬̲̞̼̮͖͖͎͉̲͈̒é̶̘̩͙̤̪͜͝ ̴̡̧̛̰͈̪̯͈̙̞̻̗̘͈̲̈́̀̃́̀͌̑͜͝M̴͔͉̜̬͎̌ȩ̵̧̡̢͉̼͎̖̖͕̘̘̘̥̯̾̀̓͒̏̎͜͝"(Like Me))
process, so it is important to try and maintain a beneficial environment with trust in order to help them progress.
Charlie smiles and her eyes begin to mist a bit
SK: Is everything alright?
Charlie: You are the only person to say that outside my family to say that and encourage me to try it.
SK: That is disappointing to hear.
Charlie: Anyway down that hall and to the left is the kitchen.
Angel: Wait! We have a kitchen.
Vaggie: yah. (In a sarcastic tone) didn't you know?
Angel bolts from his position down the hall and disappears a second or two later...
Angel: Dolce madre di misericordia! (Sorry for the bad Italian had to use google translate) It's beautiful!
And on the other side there is another hall that goes down for a bit and then on the right is a door that leads to the basement.
SK: What's down there?
Charlie: Mostly just the washer and dryer as well as some of the supplies for the hotel that don't go bad.
SK: Good to know.
Charlie: And up the stairs are the rooms for the hotel guests however the top floor is reserved for hotel staff.
SK: Never met a demon who treats their staff so nicely.
Charlie blushes a bit in embarrassment
Charlie: W..Well they are willing to help me so I feel that they should get the best, right?
SK: A wise decision and a sound judgement.
Charlie looks like she is about to say something then posses then her head snaps up quickly.
Charlie: Oh! I just had an idea! We could get you a hotel room.
SK: But I am not a permanent staff member, and don't plan on becoming a resident?
Charlie: I know that. I just figured that since you would be helping here it would be nice to have a room you can have to yourself for privacy. Plus if you are ever working here late you could just sleep here instead of risking going home in the dark...in hell.
SK: ("SCARLET KING: Hmph. I am the reason every being fears the dark.") I accept your generous offer then.
Charlie: Oh that is wonderful. Hold on a sec.
She runs over and grabs a key and runs back to SK and hands it to SK.
Charlie: Ok so your room is number 68... (the world distorts for a impossibly short amount of time)
Charlie: Ok your room number is number 777.
SK's smile widens
SK: My lucky number. Now this is a real treat.
Emily: Hey SK?
SK turns to Emily
SK: Yes Emily?
Emily: Would you mind if we asked some questions about you.
SK: Not at all. However I must enforce my ability to not answer any questions.
Emily: I don't see the problem in that.
SK: Then let us begin.
