Your local radio demon!

“Your workers are surprisingly pleasant to be around.” Out of literally nowhere, Alastor appears behind her, already present. “As always, you forgot heat exists.”

“I simply came to check upon you dear!” His constantly present grin widened, slightly unsettling when paired with his surprisingly jolly voice. Though unlike Alastor, it was impossible to tell whether or not he was lying. “Besides, I can’t let my ring do everything for me.”

“You catch on fast.” He complimented, pointing a finger as he circled her and her desk. “You see deer, your territory is my territory. I simply want to make sure that everything is up and running well. And that the obnoxious box head hasn’t been bothering it.”

“No thank you dear. I’ll pass.” Alastor calmly rejected her offer, having mostly forgotten of his last visit until she brought it up. He matched her passive aggressive attitude with his own, his grin widening in a ‘kind’ manner.

Alastor paused, seemingly thinking of a response, before answering. “Perhaps at your best, you could have. But you were in no condition for conflict. And it showed.”

“You were drunk, dear.” He stated firmly. “And the way Valentino was handling the situation was enough to show how that encounter would have gone had I not showed up. You need to be more careful.”

“That would be nice, yes.” He responded in a jesting tone. While he meant what he said, it was clear he’d have no qualms if she had decided against it.

“Anytime my dear!” Alastor hurried to her side, pinching her cheek mock affectionately. His tone was very clearly sarcastic, yet carried a cheerful tone.

“HA! But no my dear. I’ve simply decided that if I want this partnership to thrive, I have to treat you like my equal.”

“It’s all me dear!” He yelled out, pointing his staff upwards dramatically. “I’m not an ant. I’m capable of changing if need be.”

Alastor watched and listened intently, his ears idly swiveling and twitching. Once she finished, he spoke. “Interesting. I commend you for taking care of that which is yours.”

Alastor rolled his eyes at the mention of the Hazbin hotel, the mere thought of it causing him irritation. “It’s going as well as it can.” He responded both vaguely and dryly.

Alastor growled in irritation as she grabbed his cheek, turning to watch her approach the windows. “She’s exceptionally foolish in that regard. Nothing she tries will change what sinners are.”

“For once I agree with you Alastor,” as she shut the curtains, the room was engulfed with darkness. Tempest opened the door, gesturing forward, “I have to check to see if the weather regulation is working correctly….”

“Take your time, deer. I’ll be waiting in here.”

Alastor quietly cackled to himself, knowing good and well what caused the commotion. However, he found the thought of tempest going on a wild goose chase after practically nothing was hilarious. So, he stayed calm, patient, and waited.

The ice overlord was gone for some time, the room silent and cold as if holding in a breath. Surely there were meaningful ways to pass the time?

Even the radio demon experiences boredom. He hadn’t expected his pet to have been gone for so long. And if his source of entertainment was gone, he’d simply have to find a new, temporary one. Noticing the papers tempest seemed so focused on, Alastor, after memorizing the order they were stacked in, idly looked and read through them. Something interesting had to be within them.

While the notes, especially the one from Rosie, piqued his interest, what really caught his attention was the sealed drawer. To curious to leave it be, Alastor conjured a green flame in his hand, holding it close to the ice in an attempt to melt it. He knew he’d have no way to reseal the drawer, so this was a risk. However, one he was willing to take.

Alastor looked at the death certificates with a grin. He’d remember those names. Other than that, the photos of her before her rise to power had caused Alastor to become even more curious. What could have possibly been better for her back then that’d make her even slightly happier? Then, his eyes found the ring. While tempted to take it in hand, he let it be. However, having seen the name on the death certificates, along with the ring, Alastor quickly put two and two together. Closing the drawer and re-stacking the papers, Alastor left tempest’s office. He had gotten what he came for and more. He left through the lobby’s entrance with a sly grin and a wave, no doubt raising suspicions in the nearby tempest.

Alastor snorted in amusement. Smiling, he answered. “Of course dear! Finally showing me your good side?” He joked, pointing his staff to her heavily scarred face.

“Your workers are surprisingly pleasant to be around.” Out of literally nowhere, Alastor appears behind her, already present. “As always, you forgot heat exists.”

“I simply came to check upon you dear!” His constantly present grin widened, slightly unsettling when paired with his surprisingly jolly voice. Though unlike Alastor, it was impossible to tell whether or not he was lying. “Besides, I can’t let my ring do everything for me.”

“You catch on fast.” He complimented, pointing a finger as he circled her and her desk. “You see deer, your territory is my territory. I simply want to make sure that everything is up and running well. And that the obnoxious box head hasn’t been bothering it.”

“No thank you dear. I’ll pass.” Alastor calmly rejected her offer, having mostly forgotten of his last visit until she brought it up. He matched her passive aggressive attitude with his own, his grin widening in a ‘kind’ manner.
