Hades

(+ Pain and Panic)

Pain and Panic were both used to be Hades' punching bags, especially since they both were assigned to work for him for eternity.

Or when they died.

Honestly, both had huge bets on that latter happening sooner.

That being said, they were shocked when you actually treated them with respect and like....a person.

Meg didn't even do that during her time with the Lord of the Underworld.

Pain and Panic milk the shit out of your attention.

Something that Hades catches onto too fast and immediately blows up on them about.

"Y'know, babe, when you treat them with respect, they start to expect that."

"You show respect your way and I'll show it mine." you crossed your arms, ignoring the slight snickers from Pain and Panic that erupted below you.

Maybe it was Hades never-ending wrath towards the two imps that spurred on your protectiveness of them.

Maybe it was that they weren't too many other creatures down here to talk to besides Hades and the Fates.

You often checked in with them, asking them how they were, and generally just being friendly towards them.

It drove Hades nuts.

That was also another reason you might've done this, because sometimes bugging Hades is the highlight of your day.

It was a vicious cycle, really.

Hades would blow up on Pain and Panic, which would cause you to be even nicer to them, which would then make Hades even more pissed.

"Listen, we appreciate this and all, but you don't gotta keep doing this." Pain said, as Panic nodded.

"But you two deserve some decency." You said, "I mean, you not all of those horrible things Hades calls you."

"Wait.....Really?" Panic asked

"Well, I mean you guys have your moments, but you're not that terrible." You said, "I mean, you guys are pretty fun to talk to down here."

Dr. Facilier

(+ Voodoo dolls, Lawrence, and Shadow)

Facilier and the Shadow were a two-for-one deal that you never even knew that you really signed up for.

Facilier never would admit it, but he did care for his shadow very much.

After all, it was basically an extension of him.

The same could be said for the voodoo dolls, as those were the first dolls that he's had since he started practicing Voodoo.

So he definitely wanted you to respect and get along with them, often pushing your thoughts and feelings out of you pretty early on.

"They're nice and all, Faci." You said, glancing over at the shadow as it crept closer and closer towards Facilier and yourself. "Why do you keep asking me that?"

"Just curious....."

Luckily for you, Shadow loved to gossip, and often played charades to convey what he was trying to say.

The Voodoo dolls weren't into that as much, as they were happy to have another person around to admire them.

Though, when you came in one afternoon from town, you weren't expecting an elderly man chatting to Facilier.

"Hello."

"This is no time for small talk, Larry," Facilier scolded before he flashed you a smile.

Over the next day or two, you took note of how often Lawrence came around. Not that you minded of course.

As based on the very limited conversations between the two of you, you noted how polite and respectful he was, despite that deep-seated rage underneath

"Do you think that this plan will work......?"

"Listen, I learned that it's better to trust the process." You said, glancing over at Lawrence.

"......eh, okay...." Lawrence said, "Excuse me, I just have a lot riding on this."

"Yeah, uh, I could tell," You said, eyeing the empty jar in his hands. "But it should work out as long as you stick to the plan."

"Ah, it's really nice to have someone else to talk to about this......stuff," Lawrence said. "So, thank you."

"Ah, it's no issue. You're not the only one who wants to talk to someone else about non-Voodoo-related things, Lawrence." You smiled.

Beast

(+ Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, etc...)

Of course, you adored the enchanted household objects.

They welcomed you in right away, often checking in on you to see how you were adjusting to the castle and other aspects of this new life.

Due to their very friendly and nice nature, you quickly befriended the various enchanted objects you came across, especially those that have become regulars in your new life.

Breakfast with Chip, afternoon tea with Mrs. Potts and Chip, and dinner with Cogsworth and Lumière.

"So what's today's special breakfast?" You smiled down at the small teacup, who excitedly hopped over to the part of the table where you were.

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise!"

"Okay, okay." You laughed.

It didn't take long for Beast to notice this and grow angry over the fact that you had a better relationship with his servants than him, often calling Cogsworth in for 'meetings'.

Though most of the time it was Beast ranting, Cogsworth apologizing, and when Mrs. Potts joined, her scolding Beast for taking it out on them instead of trying to make an effort.

Luckily for you, Lumière spilled everything to you later on, much to Cogsworth's dismay.

".....so, I told the master to be pa-"

"DON'T TELL THEM THAT!" Cogsworth shrieked.

"Well, it's true!!" Lumière huffed, "You were there mon ami!"

As much as the enchanted objects tried to make you feel at home, welcome, and taken care of, you often went out of your way to make their days better, even if small.

Though, you could always count on Mrs. Potts to set them straight and calm any fight down.

You saw how hard they worked and wanted to make sure that their hard work didn't go unnoticed.

"You all deserve a break." You said, once you were able to round up the four of them, "You all work so hard and all, so take a break."

"Mademoiselle, I assure you that we can-"

"But, you're our guest. You shouldn't have to do that for us. We can d-"

"We appreciate that, but-" Mrs. Potts said.
