The Scarlet King is back

An old enemy

Emily with a slight look of disappointment
Emily: Ok. I guess we will see you later SK
SK: Good evening everyone and I hope to see you tomorrow.
SK stands up and bows to Emily Charlie and Vaggie ( you know the gentleman bow where they take off the hat and do the little hat twirl thing). Then he takes cane/staff and starts to head back. However as he exits a drone can be seen monitoring the hotel.
————————-MEANWHILE———————-
In the V's tower.
Vox and Valentino can be seen siting on their couch watching the TV showing a broadcast from the drone.
Vox: Who is this new asshole.
Valentino: Someone to help the hotel. WAIT I have it they are the newest person on Little Ms. Princess's path to redemption .
They both look at each other.
Vox and Val: Hahahahahahahahah!
Vox: I don't know who he is but I am sensing an opportunity.
Val: Oh yah? Tell me what you have cooking in that sexy head of yours. I thought all your head was capable of was static ideas.
Vox: First of Fuck You! Second if he is new to hell or even just the city he might not be used to overlords trying to make deals which means we could have a new pawn. If that doesn't work another person under our control is another step to getting that 1940's outdated pice of SHIT an even deeper grave.
Val: How do you know he is new to town?
Vox: Because I have not seen him before and while I have some eyes around the city I have never even seen him in the square and everyone goes there eventually. Even ALASTOR passes through there from time to time.
Vox: Now how to do it is the question.
Val: Why don't we get one of the bitches to take care of it everyone has something they'll be willing to sell their solar to and sex is a powerful motivator. If not it will be a great way to figure out something we can use.
Vox: Who should we send thought?
Val: How about Angel.
Vox raises his eyebrow
Vox: Why him?
Val: He's famous so he will already have influence over someone who has yet to make a name for themselves. After all everyone down here want's recognition and the power that comes with it. Second, he IS the best toy I have though I would kill anyone who told him that. Finally since he is staying at that hotel he probably already met the person while he was visiting there so even if both things fail having someone you know will give us influence over him. And if all else fails then I will take care of it myself.
He smiles with a sinister grin as his infamous red smoke starts to twist around him.
As he looks at Vox he notices that Vox is sitting there with a slacked jaw and raised eyebrows with wide open eyes.
Vox: I never knew.
Val: Never knew what?
Vox: Never knew that you could actually form a thought by rubbing your two brain cells together.
Valentino frowns and begins to get angry but then smiles a seductive smile and leans over to Vox almost to where their heads are pressed against each other.
Val: That's not the only two things I can rub together baby.
Vox begins to sweat (how he does that with a screen for a face is a mystery only hell knows the answer to) but then scootches away.
Vox: (Cough)I think we should focus on what we want to do about the new announcement for the business that is happening. We only have two weeks to decide what we should do otherwise people will grow bored and our profits will suffer.
Val: Aw come one baby don't be like that.
It was a at this moment (he knew he F*cked up) that Velvet came into the room.
Velvet: What are you to morons going on about now.
Vox: We were just talking about how to get someone new under our thumb. We think he will make an excellent tool in upcoming plans.
Velvet: I could use a new manikin and model for my runway. Plus I am always down for a bite. (She said this and then snapped her teeth showing off just how large and strong they were.) Let me see him.
She walks over and looks at the TV. Then her body tenses up as her eyes widen.
Velvet: "N-No nonononono. He can't be back, their is now way that HE is back. I thought I would never see him again" O-Oh.
Vox: Oh?
Velvet: He just has a surprising look to him if the camera wasn't clear I'd say we be looking at another Alastor.
Vox: (visibly shakes) eugh. Please refrain from giving me nightmares. One of him is bad enough I don't think I could handle two of those fuckers.
Velvet: Well then how are we going to do this. "Not that is will work, but hey, at least it should be funny when it blows up in their face"
Vox: Well first we are going to try and manipulate him through seduction. If that doesn't work we are going to offer him reputation. If that doesn't work then we'll have a "friend" recommend he join us. Finally if that doesn't work Val will talk with them personally.
Velvet: "Oh I have to be there to see that!" Wow quite the scheme there. Who came up with it?
Vox: Val actually came up with it.
Velvet stares at Valentino in bewilderment.
Velvet: Really?
Val: Why is this so hard for everyone to believe.
Vox and Velvet: (In unison) It's you.
Val: FUCK YOU.
Velvet: Not a chance.
Vox: Only if you pay me
They both look at Vox
Vox: What?
Velvet shakes her head and heads for the door.
Velvet: Well I'm going off to do something important. Have fun doing what ever the shit you were doing before you love birds.
She heads out and closes the door.
————————MEANWHILE————————
SK returns to his bar having been completely aware of the drone that was following him.
SK: This should get interesting.
He walked back in and seamlessly began working on cleaning the cups and glasses, he also did some tidying up around the place. While he was cleaning the glasses, someone came in wearing a full grey robe that covered their face.
Sensing this person SK knew immediately who this person was and set down the drink and without turning around...
SK: Hello GOD.
