Chapter I - The Plan

Barely able to keep myself calm and collected as I interrogated one of my many "victims", I clenched my fists at the small gremlin who tried to apologise for messing with Juno.

In a sing song voice laced with annoyance, I told him again, "I told you to go to Juno and apologise~" I stepped closer to his small form, "but guess what? You didn't."
Snapping my fingers, he vanished before me with a small poof, disappearing into Juno's office.

I sighed, turning around to walk through the Gardens of the Underworld, admiring the deadly plants surrounding me in awe. Why is it that Juno gives me the jobs that are aggravating?

Finally reaching the entrance, I looked back at the beautiful foliage before vanishing into Juno's office. Thankfully, the little Gremlin wasn't there anymore, but Juno was rubbing her head as though she was having a migraine.

I sat down in front of her nonchalantly, gazing at her with boredom, "did he apologise for messing everything up?" I asked.
She stopped her movements and looked up at me with her usual face. "Yes, thank you. Let's hope he doesn't try to mess with me again...", she groaned in displeasure.

"That's good," I looked behind her to the large portrait behind her of slate-grey clouds, "you know, you could just send 'em to Hell..."

"Y/n, you are not torturing them. We went over this, you already have too many coming in."

I gasped in shock, "hey! I enjoy having more to torture. Don't judge me." I snickered lowly at her expression of 'really?'

"Don't you have some poor souls to reap?"

"Nah, already have a part of me doing that."

"How many beings are you?" Juno asked bewildered.

"...A lot, like a lot." I couldn't count how many beings I was.

She changed the topic, becoming more depressed by the second, "okay y/n, you have a new task to do. I've been trying to get this... guy, to sign a contract he hasn't signed in centuries because he's a stubborn bitch."

My eyes widened in shock, "centuries?! Is he that determined?"

"Yes. I need you to get him to sign the papers no matter what. Follow him, tie him, I don't care. He's been wreaking havoc over the living for far too long." Juno looked at the wall behind me with menace. Let's hope he cooperates...

I looked at her expectantly, "so... what's his name?"

She looked at me with hesitation before sighing again, "you're gonna hate him, y/n. His name is Beetlejuice. Don't say his name three times, or he will come to you."

Beetlejuice? What an interesting name.

"Alright, I'm in. What could he possibly do?"

Juno looked at me wildly, "a lot of things, y/n. A lot."
