[Part 1] [Part 2]

The door of the abandoned mansion creaked open. Mulch pulled his Portable Demon Containment Unit over the threshold, the noise announcing their arrival.

"Do you have to make so much noise?" Holly hissed, turning to him.

"The Portable Demon Containment Unit is heavy."

"It's a vacuum cleaner, Mulch!" she said exasperatedly. "A vacuum cleaner. Why do I keep letting you do these things? I am a police officer, and I let my simple-minded flatmate deal with a matter of life and death."

"I'll ignore all those mean things you just said there," he said. "Yes, it's a former vacuum cleaner, but I modified it to get us rid of the demon."

He left out the fact that if he had read out the summoning spell correctly, they wouldn't be in the current situation of having to get rid of said demon. Who could have known that summoning a demon was harder than it looked on TV?

Mulch had been convinced he had done everything correctly, making his command as clear as possible, thinking of any way that the demon could misinterpret it. Artemis, however, was clever, and had found a way, regardless.

Now, he felt bad for getting Holly involved. If it had been just him, it wouldn't have been that bad, but she didn't deserve to be hunted by the entire police, her face broadcast on national TV. But not all was lost. If they caught the demon, they could get him to reverse everything back to normal. Plus the 5 billion banknotes that they were entitled to, of course. Plus interest for their troubles.

Mulch handed Holly a talisman. "All will be well, Holly. Wear this, and just stay close. I'll protect you."

Holly snatched the necklace from Mulch's hands and put it on. "Protect me, my ass. I'll protect you! Now, where is the demon?"

"You mean me?" a silky voice asked behind them.

Mulch and Holly whirled around to Artemis, his eyes sparkling maliciously.

"Welcome to my humble abode," he said, opening his arms wide. "You like? It was the place of a marvellous murder a few years ago. A woman lost her mind and killed her entire family in one night."

Holly brought her fists up, ready to fight the demon if he tried to attack them. He didn't. He pointed behind him.

"You should see the kitchen. That's where she stabbed the butler. A true masterpiece. Lots of splattering. Scenes of murder are so peaceful, wouldn't you agree?"

"You are sick," Holly spat out.

Artemis beamed. "Thank you. You are not too bad yourself. A bit repressed, maybe. Is that because the whole country is looking for you?"

Gritting her teeth, Holly turned to Mulch. "Alright, I have had enough, let's get rid of him."

Artemis watched the two with mild amusement as they pottered about the modified vacuum cleaner.

"Would you like me to scream and pretend that this really scares me?" he chuckled.

Mulch pointed the mouthpiece at the demon, and with a daring grin, he punched the switch on the vacuum cleaner. It rattled, coughed, shook... and died. Mulch's grin fell slightly. He slapped the casing. Nothing. The vacuum cleaner stayed dead.

Artemis smirked, lifting an eyebrow.

"Well, I give you full marks on presentation. Execution-wise, though? Three out of ten."

"I really don't know why this didn't work," Mulch murmured, shaking the tube. He started sweating, shooting the demon a look. Artemis's smile became indulgent.

"Go ahead," he said. "Beg me for your life. If you entertain me, I might let you live."

"We will never beg," Holly said. "Fight me like a man. Let the stronger person win."

Artemis laughed. "How imaginative. I salute your honour, girl. There is just one problem."

The form of the teenager wavered, slowly becoming transparent.

"I am no man."

A part of the Flatmate AU (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

 December 31st, exactly 10 minutes before 6:30 PM

 She turned herself once again in front of the hallway mirror, checking for any creases on her new dress. It came via express shipping and it’s a miracle that it arrived on schedule in the times between Christmas and New Year. It went straight to the amazing dry-cleaner’s around the corner who thankfully still kept hours during Christmas vacations. Now it sat perfectly on her, flattering her figure like it should.

 Her powder-coloured light shimmering tights were a little thin for the winter weather but she would be picked up directly from the front door. No problem there despite the falling snow. The pumps, on the other hand...but she would mostly be sitting. That should be alright. Since they were borrowed but were still new, she did try to break them in, though a couple of days were definitely not enough to do the job.

 Another turn and her new clutch almost fell from her grip. Maybe she should have gotten one with a chain after all. But that one was red, and though it matched her hair perfectly she didn’t like it. It attracts too much attention, as if her hair alone wasn’t enough.

 Said hair was tucked in a half updo with slightly curled ends. The style was already outdated in Japan, but in a land where simple, straight hairdos had been trending for at least the last five years, hers would raise her above the crowds. If only she could do it herself. What would she do without him?

I’m picturing them all living in the same building of a shitty apartment in Loveland City. They visit each other and get into shenanigans because they’re all trying to sabotage each other getting closer to MC without her knowing which is...actually super easy cuz she’s oblivious as all get out. Not realizing this she often tries to get them together to hang out and be “neighborly.” This is a 6 apartment kinda building. Victor now has both 1A and 1B, Lucien has 1C, Kiro has 2A, you’re in 2B, and Gavin is 2C

MC: A film studies student starting her third year. Recently took a semester off after her father died and had to move out of the dorms due to financial issues. She’s living at the apartment complex due to it being cheap, and gets a lot of life help from her .. super hot neighbors?? At school, her friends Anna, Kiki, and Willow are always helping her out since she’s a semester behind them in classes. She also can be found running around town doing odd jobs for people (city stroll) to bring in a little extra money! 

Victor: Self made, young CEO of a highly successful start up. Turned down multi billion dollar offers to buy his company from corporations globally to keep LFG independent. Lives in this shitty apartment building because “You don’t get successful by being wasteful” and has lived there since before the startup took off/before he himself graduated. He cooks all his own food and is super grumpy all the time, but he’s also the one who takes care of the apartments’s gardens because, “organic or die bitch. Here’s some vegetables but only because I can’t eat them all and not because I like you and care about your obviously neglected health.” He seemingly hates you because you’re often up into the dead of the night pacing around with anxiety above his unit. But often, when he texts you, “come down to my flat, 5 minutes or less,” to ream you out, he usually does it over a SUPER nice coffee and some snacks, and OH wait, his computer is still on and he’s still in his work clothes, was he still up too?

Gavin: Lives there because it’s equidistant from both the University and the Police Academy. While he majors in criminal justice, he already has cadet status at the Academy and a guaranteed position as a detective once he’s graduated. It also helps that the rent is cheap and no one asks him where he goes for weeks at a time, BUT is ALWAYS happy to tease and tell you about the terribly scary crime scenes he’s been away at because he, “like to see you squirm” but really just likes to scare you into texting him more at night. He’s a tough guy with a big heart that’s always telling you about how you can keep yourself more safe at night, and “Oh by the way I fixed your faucet because that squeaking echoes all around the building and while I was at it I tuned up your ac and blahblahblah.” Keeps his bike under the stairs and has scared you more than once saying “good morning” to you as you walk down them.

Kiro: Lives there because, even though he’s actually a famous pop star, none of his fans would suspect he’s actually living in one of the shittiest apartment complexes in all of Loveland. The people of the neighborhood just cannot put it together that it’s THE Kiro, so actually doesn’t have the wear disguises when he’s close to home and loves taking you out to the shopping district to get groceries together. He IS majoring in computer science at Loveland Uni, but you’ve NEVER seen him on campus or in any classes. However, one day you found out he’s actually the valedictorian when his dean’s list letter gets delivered to you by accident. Fewdie Friends For Lyfe: he’s the only guy at the complex you’ve actually had an impromptu sleepover with because you both just passed the F out after binge watching terrible old movies in preparation for him starring in a remake and simultaneously crashing from your respective sugar highs.
