I was sitting next to Sera as she sorted through paperwork during the extermination. Souls were being slaughter and all she did was cross some t's and dot i's.

Suddenly a column of light appeared in front of us.

A serpent like angel fell from it clumsily, and he hastily began to try to figure what happened.

"What?! Where? Oh." He smiles and waves at me.

I feel a smile cross my face. The hotel worked! It really works!

I turn to Sera to express my joy at this discovery, but notice that she's staring at the new angel in disgust.

"Sera? What's wrong?"

"This, this is wrong!" She yelled while pointing at the snake angel. "He shouldn't be here!"

I feel my face flush with anger, "What do you mean?! He's here because he was redeemed! Or are you saying that Heavens perfect judgement is flawed?"

Sera was shocked by my outburst, but I was tired of letting her trample over Charlies dream.

"I-I suppose you are right Emily." She tries to calm herself as we approach the angel.

"Hi! I'm Emily, but you can call me whatever! What's your name?"

The angel appears nervous as he answers. "I am Sir Pentiousss, i-inventor extraordinaire!"

"It is...a pleasure to meet you Pentious." Sera says through gritted teeth.

"O-oh, was I interrupting something? I'll leave if you show me out." Sir Pentious was clearly nervous and scared about being in a new place.

"Don't worry Sir Pentious! I'll show you around! I'm sure Sera has important paperwork to take care of." As much as I wanted to have them get along, I knew that Sera would need lots of time to accept this.

Pentious nods, "Very well Misssss Emily! I shall follow your lead."

Sera just nods as she returns to her work.

I show Sir Pentious out, and I start to give him a tour around Heaven. 

We first stop at one of my favorite sweet shops.

"Are you sure these thingsss are safe to eat? Usually such sweetsss are poisoned."

I stare at him for a moment, "You have poisoned sweets down there? Is that normal for eating or..."

"Oh, it is most definitely a means to kill your enemiesss! You buy them poisoned sweetsss and you won't have to worry about them again! Unlessss of course, if they are a sinner like me they'll just come back angry."

Things really are bad down there, and we've just been exterminating them instead of trying to help.

"Well don't worry Sir Pentious! These sweets would only kill you with joy!"

"T-that's possible?!" He starts to fidget nervously and I can't help but giggle. "No! Now come on!"

We enter the store and the owner smiles at us.

"Well, If it isn't my number one customer! What will it be today Emi?"

"I'm showing our first redeemed soul around so two of everything!"

The store owner looks at me confused. "Redeemed soul?"

"Oh right, you may not have heard but my best friend Charlie, the princess of Hell, has a hotel to try to rehabilitate sinners for Heaven!"

The store owner looks rather shocked. She then eyes Sir Pentious nervously.

"Oh don't worry about him! He's a nice person! He's here after all isn't he?"
