Angel turned to see the devil standing behind her with a grin as he puffed a new cigar and he looked her up and down slowly appraising her.
She was short, plump from what he could tell but it was hard to see under her long trench coat and hat she wore.
"Come with me." He said as he turned to walk away.
She hesitated at first but them quickly felt the eyes of the employees and patrons on her and quickly hurried to catch up to the devil. She followed him in silence, drying her eyes of her tears as they walked. She didn't want to be a cry baby. Cuphead always called her a sippy cup cause she cried so much.
The devil lead her into his office, a room filled with gold and money and lots of finery. He moved to lean on the edge of his desk as she stepped inside and folded her hands in front of herself, her eyes on the floor, her hat covering her face.
The door had closed behind her and now her back was pressed to it.
Again the devil took to silently appraising her. "Gah! Take off that stupid coat and hat! I can't tell what you look like!" He snapped, making her flinch.
She slipped the coat off her shoulders and removed her hat, laying the coat over her forearm and holding hat in her hand tight.
So he was right. She was plump. But....kinda cute. She wore an oldfahioned green dress with a white lace border and a pretty string of pearls around her neck.
Being a cup she didn't have hair but she wore a green silk ribbon on her handle as an accessory.
"Come here." He said, a bit more gently than before.
Hesitantly she stepped forward and stopped when he held out a hand to stop her.
With that same hand he reached out and took her chin and lifted it to make her look up at him instead of at the floor and he looked a bit surprised. Her eyes... they were like golden honey... "Oh you'll do nicely." He said after a moment.
She blushed and tugged her chin away to look back down at the ground. She missed home so much already. She had never had someone look at her like that before, like she was an abject to be inspected for flaws.
There was a knock at the door and dice stepped inside. "The cups are taken care of boss. On the next bus out of inkwell." He said as he fixed his shirt collar.
The devil nodded, "good. Good. Now get a load of this." He said, taking angels shoulders and turning her towards dice, pulling her back against him and lifting her chin to make her look at dice as his other hand snaked around her waste.
She gasped and tried to wiggle out of his grasp but he held her firm as dice looked at her in a bit of awe. Who would have thought a cup could be so cute?
He stepped forward and took her chin from the devil and she froze as she looked up at him.
"Can you sing darlin?" He asked
"Sing?" She asked softly as she moved to shove herself away from the devil once and for all, "I-I..."
"I bet you can. You're a little song bird... aren't you?" He asked as he stepped up at her and she blushed.
"I can sing. I don't though." She said as she looked off.
"And why not?" He asked as he lifted his hand to touch her cheek but she batted his hand away, "because my brothers are always making fun of me for it so I just don't."
"Sing for us." The devil chimmed in as he went around his desk and sat down.
"What?" She asked, a bit stunned.
"I said sing. Now." He said as he squeezed his hand and she felt a tight feeling in her chest. He had her soul on a freaking leash! She placed her hand on her chest and nodded, making him loosen his grip on her soul and she took a breath, looking down as she tried to think of a song and finally she thought of one and began.

(Little note. I recommend you listen to Mademoiselle Noir (the English version) on YouTube if you wanna hear her sing.)

As she sang a tiny imp began playing the piano in the back of the room in time with her and eventually got a bit into the song and swayed her hips with the rythem.

Watching her sing was like being placed in a trance and the song she chose was hauntingly beautiful. It made the hearts of both king dice and the devil beat wildly. When she finished the two exchanged glances and nodded before clapping politely. "You my dear are our new singer."
"Singer? You mean on a stage?"
The devil nodded. "Thats right sweet heart. You've got the look and the pipes for it."
"B-but I though...I thought you were just going to send my soul to hell!" She said nervously.
"Well, "the devil began as he stood and approached her, "While I most certainly can and will if you give me any trouble I'd much rather see you serve a purpose first. So until I say otherwise you're gonna work here. In my casino. As my very own little song bird." He said as he got closer and closer until angel eventually backed up against the wall and looked up at him like a trapped little mouse.
"Do you understand dollface?" He asked, caressing her cheek and she turned away and nodded.
He smirked when he saw her cheeks turn red and stepped aside. "Dice will show you to your new room. You'll be able to practice tomorrow before the show starts with some of the other crew. Don't worry. Your sets only an hour so the rest of the time you're here you're free to just enjoy yourself." He said as Angel made her way out after dice, scurrying past the devil quickly to the door. She did glance back to catch the devil staring at her ass as it swayed when she walked and her entire face turned red as the door shut behind her.
"Pervert." She muttered before catching up to dice.
The two of them stepped into an elevator and he smiled down at her and held out a hand. "May I take your hat and coat darlin? I'll have them laundered for you."
She looked up at him hesitantly but nodded and gave them to him. "Thank you..."
He nodded as he folded the coat neatly over his arm and held the hat in his hand. "Your voice really is like warm honey..." He commented.
She blushed again and looked away. "Really think so? Thank you..."
He smiled as he saw her blush and he felt the need to keep that blush there forever.
They soon stepped off the elevator and made their way down a short hall to a room where dice opened the door for her.
Inside was a queen bed, a small kitchen, a small take and chairs, a desk and lamp and a comfy arm chair. There even appeared to be a washroom. "This is your new home my dear. I do hope it's to your liking." Dice said as he stepped in after her.

Angel had always shared a room with her brothers as Elder Kettles cottage w asnt very large... but this place was just like a small apartment... one just like the ones in her magazine to be exact. The carpets were plush, everything was clean, and neat and the room was so open and not cramped at all. But...there were no windows. "No windows?" She asked, looked back at dice curiously.
"Well... can't have you escaping after all. We know you've got some friends with wings darlin..." He explained and she nodded slowly. Even though the room was very open it was very dark.

"It is a bit dark though... don't worry. I'm sure we can find something to make it more comfortable." He assured before checking his pocket watch. "Well I gotta scoot. But I'll be by at 7:30 in the morning to get you." He said as he stepped out into the hall. "This door will be locked after I leave but if you need anything just pull the black tassel by it and someone will come check on you." He said before shutting the door and leaving her alone.

And it was in the moment that it all really began to sink in... She was trapped here, forever. No one could get her out...
She sank to her knees, hugging herself tight and besgan to sob. Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Pained.
