"What should I do?" Charlie asked as she clasped her cheeks in worry while lifting them up and down a bit.
While leaning forward on the couch that she sat on, Vaggie made a quick glance at the door and back at Charlie as she voiced her protest, "Well don't let him in!" she warned.
As Charlie made a glancing thought at the door, she headed back to open the front door despite Vaggie's protest.
Meanwhile, Joshua decided to make known his curiosity as to what or who the radio demon was, "Pardon the curiosity of mine." The burnt man spoke over to Vaggie, who looked back over to him as he sat in his chair, "But what sort of…creature is this Radio Demon." he inquired with a pointed look at the fallen angel.
Vaggie, with her lone eye, glanced off to the side with it to watch Charlie head to the front door, "Nothing but trouble, is what I can say. Guy disappeared for seven years and now all a sudden he's back at our front door for a visit or something? I call bullshit… excuse me…" she pardoned herself from the short conversation with Joshua as she stood up from the couch she sat on and rushed to assist Charlie.
While what was going on at the front door once Charlie let the Radio Demon in, Joshua glanced over in the direction of Angel dust with a pointed stare, who shrugged at the stare as the porn star stood up to head to the couch and steal himself a spot on the cushy furniture. "Eh." he shrugged, "Don't look at me, I don't bother with that wider thing of hell, probably some big bad overlord or something." he mused.
"Hmm." Joshua let out a hum as he dwelled on what caused Vaggie to be so distressed about the Radio Demon.
The conversation between Charlie and the Radio Demon eventually made its way into the lounge room were they were in, while Vaggie was already on her way in to mope as she plopped onto the couch beside Angel with a frown on her face.
Heading into the lounge room, the aforementioned demon walked beside Charlie as she led him into where everyone else was in while conversing to each other. "So, does this mean you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?" she asked the demon holding a mic on a stick, while dressed in the nines.
Alastor laughs a bit before replying to Chalie with an amused grin, "Of course not! That's wacky nonsense!" he said while shaking his head back and forth, "Redemption, oh the non-existent humanity! No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners!"
The radio demon then makes a passing glance at the two still sitting on the couch, Angel simply shrugs with a smarmy grin while Vaggie has an offended look with her arms crossed, then makes a passing glance at the burnt and bandaged man, before returning look back at Charlie
"The chance given was the life they lived before, the punishment is this!" Alastor exclaimed while putting his arms out, gesturing the entirety of Hell as well as the hotel he stood in.
While the two continued their conversation elsewhere in the hotel, Angel Dust was the first to voice his thoughts on the matter, "Uh, so... uh, what's the deal with Smiles over there?" he asked while thumbing in the direction where Alastor and Charlie went off too.
Vaggie glanced between the two, and noticed neither sinners actually knew another about the Radio Demon, going by their expressions…or lack thereof in Joshua's condition. "Wait, you two have never heard of him before?" she then pointed at Angel, "You've at least been here longer than me." she remarked before looking over at Joshua, "And I don't know how long you've been down here…"
In response, Joshua shrugged at her as he sat on his chair while leaning forward a bit on it while resting his elbows on his knees, "The concept of time eludes me of how long I have been in hell, but I can say for certain I do not know that sinner." he remarked with a steady look in his eyes.
Vaggie looked between the two with a confused look of her own that neither of the two knew about the Radio Demon, "The Radio Demon. One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?" she asked.
Earning a blank look from Joshua who didn't bother to say anything, or a shrug from Angel Dust, who replied with, "Eh, not big on politics."
At that, Joshua looked over at Angel with a curious gaze, "hm…quite curious that hell reflects that sort of thing down here."
Angel looked back at Joshua with a smirk and raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, don't know how fresh you are down here, but you can definitely expect to see a good time down here, plenty of explosions, deaths, fights, intergang violence." he listed off.
"That's no different than on Earth." he pointed out with his brow furrowed a bit, almost visible beneath his wraps.
"Ugh!" Vaggie shouts as she tries to steer the conversation back on track, "Never mind that stuff for now, I might as well explain that guy's backstory if neither of you know who the radio demon is!" she said with a stressed out look.
With a wave of her hand as if she were weaving a grand tale, Vaggie began to regale of the tale about the Radio Demon…
Seemingly overnight. He began to topple Overlords who have been dominant for centuries. That kind of raw power had never been harnessed by a mortal soul before. Then, he broadcast his carnage all throughout Hell just so everyone could witness his ability. Sinners started calling him "The Radio Demon" . Many have speculated what unimaginable force enabled him to rival our world's most ancient and destructive evils. But one thing's for sure: He's an unpredictable source of danger, a wicked spirit of mystery, and a violent monster of chaos, the likes of which we can't risk getting involved with unless we want to end up erased!
"Ya done!?" Angel Dust said while leaning over beside Vaggie, before bowling over to laugh a bit with a wide smile, "He looks like a strawberry pimp." he said while pointing at the sight of said demon in the distance.
"Hmm…" Joshua remarked as he ruminated over the short tale that Vaggie tried to regale of who and what the Radio Demon is, and sat up from leaning and stood up from his chair to stand for a bit. "Appearances can be deceiving, profligate" he trailed off as he crossed his arms while side glancing where Charlie and Alastor were conversing with each other, "It is best we keep ourselves wary of the new guest." he suggested.
"See!" Veggie gestured at Joshua, "He at least gets it." she remarked, while earning a glance from said burnt man, before he glanced back at Charlie and Alastor in the distance.
"Tch." Angel made a flippant gesture, "Pretty sure he understands the notion of betrayal, it's probably why his appearance is what it is." he smirked over at Joshua, who made him no mind. "Isn't that right? Bet you looked like that up on earth too! All burnt to a crisp like you hurled yourself into a bonfire.
With a slow sideways look, Joshua replied back with a calm tone, "The man I once called an ally, had his men cover me in pitch, light me on fire, and had me thrown into the Grand Canyon. So yes, profligate, I do know what betrayal is. But then, it was I that should have seen it coming at the time."
Unbothered by the nickname, Angel raised an eyebrow at that, "well…shit…" he remarked. "How'd you even survive that shit? Or is that how you ended up down here?" Angel asked in a curious tone.
"That's a story for another time, but to make things short…" Joshua expressed with a solemn tone, "I survived being thrown into the depths of the Grand canyon, the matters behind my death is an altogether different story."
"Huh…" Angel remarked with an amused grin of his, "You must have been one tough son of a bitch…" he mused with his four hands on his hips.
"Enough of this!" Vaggie said in frustration as she stood up and began making her way over to Charlie and Alastor, "I gotta stop this before she makes a deal with that demon!"
While Vaggie walked off, Angel relaxed a bit on the soda with his hands behind his back as he looked back at Joshua, "So bandages, when's that story gonna come about being tossed into the Grand Canyon?" he asked, "Cause that had to have been some fall to survive from."
"As I said before." Joshua intoned with a sideways look at Angel, "It is a story for another time, and one I don't much regale about."
"Hm." Angel made a look of curiosity, before shrugging to himself, "Meh, I suppose so, it'd probably bore me too." He joked with a smirk, only to get no response from Joshua.
