Charlie and Husk both start getting equipment for advertisements. Husk gets a camera and a laptop. Charlie starts to decorate the hotel and set up a huge corkboard with ideas. Niffty helps out by cleaning everything.

Charlie: *putting up one side of the banner* "can you help me out please?"

Husk nods and gets on a ladder to put up the other side. They hammer it in then get down.

Husk: *looks at the banner* "it's a bit wonky"

Charlie: *smiles awkwardly at the banner* "it gives the hotel some charm"

Husk: *raises eyebrow* "yea right...."

Charlie: *smiles at Husk* "it's been a while since you have been out and about"

Husk: *raises eyebrow* "what the hell does that mean"

Charlie: *chuckles* "I mean you've mostly just spent your time behind the bar and in Angel's room. It's been a long time since you've been in the main room and participating in something"

Husk: *nods* "can thank Angel for somehow convincing me to help out"

Charlie pats his back and his wings pushes her away as he panics. Charlie apologises a lot but Husk shakes his head and just mumbles about setting up the camera. Charlie tries making him some 'Im sorry Tea' but Husk just looks at it and continues to aim the camera. Niffty recommends adding alcohol and Charlie reluctantly adds it because she feels sorry about making him freak out. Husk chuckles under his breathe and sips the tea. Charlie's face immediately brightens and Husk rolls his eyes pretending to not actually like the tea. Husk records Charlie saying a few lines but she gets distracted or messes up a few times. She then puts Niffty's hair in pigtails so she can be in the background and hopefully that would help her do her lines but she continues to mess up. And Niffty Freezes and stares deep into the camera whenever I click record.

Husk: *after Charlie messes up again* "slow down Princess. It's not something you have to speed through"

Charlie: *sighs and looks at her script* "I know but nobody in Hell is gonna pay attention if I take too long on it."

Husk: *mumbles* "nobody in hell is gonna pay attention regardless"

Charlie: *frowns* "really?" *sits down and looks at her script*

Husk: *sits next to her leaning on his chair* "from a sinner perspective I can say listening to the Princess of Hell go on about some stupid hotel which isn't garaunteed to work won't get anyones attention"

Charlie: *nods and looks down* "oh....."

Husk: *expression softens then he groans* "look. We need to think of how to appeal to sinners" *he brings over a white board and starts to write*

Charlie: *looks surprised Husk is genuinely helping then she stands up and smiles* "hmmmm what about a chance to become a better person?"

Husk: *nods awkwardly and reluctantly writes* "sure....."

They both go back and forth on ideas. Husk writing down any ideas.
