Mimicry in Hell

Chapter 22

It opens on Manny arriving at the Hazbin Hotel for a date with Husk and nervously knocked on the door with it swinging open to reveal David.

David:Oh hey Manny, what brings you here?

Manny:Hey David. I just came by for-

Husk: *offscreen* He's here for me

She flies out from behind the bar before nuzzling her cheek against Manny's.

David:Oh? I thought you said you gave up on love years ago

Husk:I did until this cutie came by

She said purring as she nuzzled Manny making him blush. Charlie then approached the group.

Charlie: Hey what's going on over here-

She gets flustered by seeing Manny there with the bartender and security guard.

Charlie: *flustered* H-hey Manny. What brings you by?

David:He is here to pick up Husk for a date

Charlie:Wait what? But Husk we were supposed to-

Husk:I'm sure you can handle the weekly sharing circle without me there princess. *flirtatious* Mama's busy right now

She kisses Manny's cheek making him flustered and Charlie can't help but feel a ping of jealousy.

Charlie:Right...sure...

She turned away and passive-aggressively mumbles under her breath.

Charlie:Just trying to get this hotel in order so that we can show Heaven that sinners do have a chance of being redeemed, but don't let me stop you

David:Uh...they already left Charlie

Charlie turned back to see that only David remained confirming what he said as she groaned and walked off as David shut the front door. It cuts to both Manny and Husk walking through the streets of hell with her having her arm hooked through his while purring.

Husk:Thanks for getting me out of that Hotel honey. It's *so* boring

Manny:It's no problem. But if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is wrong with the Hotel? Sure it looks kinda ratty, but everyone seems nice enough

Husk:Alastra dragged Niffty and I there to help out with her new shitty "project" that she randomly shows interest in

Manny:And does Alastra have interest in new "projects" often?

Husk:Eh. Only if she have thinks it's "entertaining". But enough about her-

She pulled Manny closer and wrapped one of her wings around him.

Husk:How'd a cute stud like you got mixed up in all this bullshit

Manny:Well I was originally from earth like the rest of my kind, I was only a child scavenging for food as I had killed and was eating a deer. My parents, my boss, and one of my coworkers found me there and decided to bring me back, or at least my mother since everyone else was against it

Husk:What exactly are you?

Manny:I'm a part of a group of creatures called Vita Carnis or Living Meat. My species are called the Mimic. We hunt humans for their flesh to eat in order to sustain ourselves

Husk:So you're a canable too?

Manny:You I guess you could say that

Husk:Huh I see why Al likes you
