HOT SHOTS™

LIKE THEY DO RIGHT

https://beacons.ai/youreignhere/journey

  Within the next few days, Alastor had witnessed Niffy clean like she had no tomorrow and the rest of the residents prepare for their little celebration quite eagerly. Charlotte and Vagatha busied themselves with decorations, that were simple but did the job in brightens up the Hotel. They helped Husker prepare the bar and released to the nearby public that they'd be throwing a celebration. Alastor did nothing to assist, mostly because Charlotte insisted that he didn't help. It made his work easier and he finished that quickly, then decided to go out for a snack. Fortunately, some lowlife decided it was best to harm a weakling in his vicinity. 

He had an early lunch. The radio demon cleaned up and then found his way back to his Tower. Where he spent the better part of the next two days. He had checked in on the Hotel, but it was clear that the Princess was handling things well. The residents seemed pleased with the idea of the celebration and assisted her in anything she needed. Like the violinist, Maryon, she offered her musical talents to perform in the show as well. Devin signed up to do guard duty while the jumpy sheep demon cleaned with Niffty, and Reign made treats with Vagatha. It seemed that they had everything all set up in time for Friday. 

 The Heiress told him to return before sunset and dress to impress. He didn't see the reason why, but it didn't hurt to dress up. So, he found a suit and changed it to black. Only the lapels and the tie being a silky blood red. He knocked the staff twice and watched as black seeped over the red. With a crisp white dress shirt and his hair usually groomed, Alastor took the long route to the Hotel. Since he was no doubt early. He reached just before six o clock and found the nearest darkness inside the hotel to teleport inside. He managed to appear beside Husk, who barely acknowledged him. 

 For as long as Alastor knew Husker, the cat demon never seemed to be affected by him. If Alastor had shown up near the Princess like that or Vagatha and Niffty, even the other residents, he was sure to get some sort of exclamation or a blade to his face, like the Princess's lover kept doing. He'd admit, it was part of the reason Alastor admired Husker. The drunken didn't care for Alastor's tricks or his power. He only cared for gambling and alcohol, once he got those two things, he was right as rain. Husker finished his drink with a sigh. 

"Been a while since I've seen you so dressed up, Al? Surprised you're actually participating in this bullshit."

"Oh Husker, my dead Friend! You know me, can't resist a good show." He let go of the staff and it disappeared with a swirl of greed magic. 

"Whatever," Husk gruffed out just as the Princess and Vagatha entered the room with the residents. Rather than their usual get up, they were, much like Alastor dressed up for the evening. The Princess in a beautiful white dress that reached up to her thighs, with black pants and boots. Her lover, Vagatha wearing a magenta long sleeve dress that made it to her knees, similar to her usual wear, while her hair was pulled into one long flowing tail. The shy sheep demon wore a simple grey suit and a brown bow tie. The Imp, Reign, adorned in a black and white dress that trailed behind her. Devin, who was at the door, had been in a Navy blue skirt and a black top that revealed her navel. Maryon, the violinist however, was in brown pants and a simple dress shirt tucked in. 

"Wow! Alastor, you actually came?!" Charlotte exclaimed and came into his personal space, "Thank you and you look very handsome, Al."

"Why thank you dear Princess and might I add that you lot don't look as terrible!"

Vagatha grumbled in the background while, Husk let out a laugh. 

"Where is Niffty?" The overlord asked as the rest began to walk away.
