Jealous Frequencies

In the chaos of Hell, overlords rule with power, cunning, and fear. Among them, Alastor - the Radio Demon - is feared, charismatic, and a master of psychological games. Asexual and aromantic by nature, he has no interest in romance or love, and certainly holds nothing but disdain for his rival, Vox, whose obsession with him has grown from rejection into full-blown infatuation. Their rivalry is legendary: Alastor represents the old-school elegance of radio-era showmanship, while Vox embodies modern digital media and broadcast dominance.

When a simple game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with Vaggie - Charlie's fiercely protective and hot-headed partner - goes awry, it sparks a chaotic dare. Vaggie wins and, in a mix of irritation and challenge, demands Alastor come up with a truly devious idea. True to his sadistic and cunning nature, Alastor sees the perfect opportunity: pretend to "date" Vox to manipulate him and extract secrets from his broadcast empire. Vox, blinded by obsession and desperate for recognition, falls right into the trap, eager to impress the Radio Demon at every turn.

The story follows a tense game of manipulation, wit, and ego, as Alastor wields Vox's obsession like a weapon. Each "date" is a calculated move, every compliment and subtle smile a trap designed to uncover power, influence, and information. Meanwhile, Vox remains oblivious to the true nature of the arrangement, believing in affection where there is none. Vaggie watches from the sidelines, sharp-eyed and unamused, ready to intervene if Alastor's plan crosses lines even she can't abide.

This story is a darkly humorous, psychologically tense exploration of manipulation, rivalry, and emotional warfare, highlighting the clash of eras, ideals, and obsessions in the underworld - without shipping Alastor and Vox.
