Dark Pit is an employee in the Underworld Empire. He's an ad poster designer and the vice principal of the Empire. His boss is Hades, the owner of the building itself as well. The two have been working together for a long time and have high experience with hiring weird employees, ranging from formal and collected to aggressive and anxious. They are currently competing with other ad designers around the world but they're the highest on the list.
One afternoon, Dark Pit had to give a report about his new design, which was still a work in progress. Hades called some co-workers down to the conference room so that they'll give out some opinions about and new ideas for the poster. Dark Pit stood in front of the projector, blocking a quarter of the poster. The other co-workers sat next to the large table, taking notes and writing some thoughts.
"The difference between our part and their part is that our part has the word Sex. Which is a common taboo everybody's into and not something boring or cliché like the competing company always uses for their advertisement." Dark Pit fixed his tuxedo jacket while looking at the co-workers, who were nodding in agreement and awe.
The fellow co-workers are; the one and only Hades, a green-haired woman called Palutena, a blonde midget called Viridi, a brunette doppelganger of Dark Pit called Pit and last but not least, a blue-haired woman called Pandora.
Viridi, Palutena, and Pandora were paying close attention, whispering to each other and giggling. Hades put his hand under his chin, inspecting closer detail to the design and humming to himself. On the other hand, Pit looked up awkwardly, shifting his gaze from Dark Pit to Hades, whom he waited patiently for a response.
While Dark Pit waited for Hades's opinion, he took out an apple from his pocket and held it tightly. He threw it up to the air, then fell back down and caught it successfully. After what it seemed like an eternity for everyone, Hades sat back against his chair and moved his hand from his chin, motioning his words to come out.
"And what about the model? Are you sure he isn't, um...?" Hades moved his hand in mid-air while he hummed his words, trying to find how to say the very last word without sounding offensive.
Dark Pit threw the apple in the air, to then fall back again with another successful catch. He put a serious face while looking at his boss, letting him know what he meant.
"...Gay?" Dark Pit said straight to the point; he didn't care if it hurt anyone. That's the common term society uses, nonetheless.
Hades's eyebrows rose as he nodded, agreeing with the said term. He kept his gaze locked on Dark Pit, waiting patiently for a straight answer. But instead from a straight to the point answer, Dark Pit shifted his crimson eyes to the three women with a playfully serious face.
"Ladies?" Dark Pit asked bluntly as if they were the ones who gave the idea for a homosexual model in the first place.
"I wouldn't care if he was, I would take him to my bed anyway," Viridi concluded with a cheesy expression while her voice didn't have any pinch of sarcasm; she was dead serious about it. Finally, Palutena and Pandora reached their limits as their laughter echoed inside the room. Hades said nothing and chuckled along, eyeing at the girls on the opposite side of the table then to Pit. Pit flinched at their laughter and Hades's gaze, feeling even more overwhelmed about the situation. Heat crept on his face as he felt Dark Pit's eyes on him.
"What do you think?" Dark Pit asked while he brought the apple to his mouth, taking a large bite from it. This made Pit trigger a sense he never knew he had inside the nerve system. A weird chill ran down his spine as he stuttered his response. He never thought about new ideas or opinions about the ad.
