"Right here on this shiny contract, my main man." Valentino grinned and showed him the contract that would bind Adam's soul to him and give him control over him while in his district or while working for him. He had learned to close up a few loopholes since his contract with Angel Dust.

"Just sign your name here and they'll be lining up for a night with you, I take my cut of course but you get the rest and I even provide you a place to stay and protection. Pretty sweet deal, hm?" The moth demon tempted, offering Adam the pen. His words were like honey. It was the same routine and offer he gave many of those before Adam that were in his employ.

"Hey there, I hear you need a job and you like Sex. I think I can help you with both of those at the same time." Valentino winked at him. (Val for Adam obviously from @bxrningembers )

"Really~?" he arched an eyebrow at the offer. Things hadn't been going terribly great since he had found himself now fallen down in Hell, so this sounded like a pretty good deal

"I mean, YEAH. Having sex as a fucking JOB? Sounds sweet as FUCK!" he grinned slyly. "Where the fuck do I sign up??"

Stolas was a observant and calculating man in his own right. He noticed the minor irritation before it melted away and noteice that he was casting a shadow. "Oh! My apologies! I'm in your light." He stated and moved his position politely so that he was still in the light but not blocking that of the Sinner demon's needed light.

"Relax, I mere thought to strike up a bit of conversation as I don't see many come to the library these days." Stolas stated, noting the man's nervousness. He was a Goetia prince, so he expected it. "I am Prince Stolas Ars Goetia. May I join you?" He asked in a friendly tone, glancing at an open chair across from Hacker.

"Oh? You're a new face in this section of the library. Most people seem to prefer Voxtech media for knowledge on space and our celestial bodies." Stolas commented, seeing Sinner demon in the nearly empty aisle of the huge library. It had been a long time since he'd seen any Sinner Demons as of recent taking an interest in more scholarly things and when such things did crop up it was more easy to access things like social media. Personally, he favored a good book in an old library to that. It was nice to see there was still interest in such things among the Sinners.

"You know it's just one of many, but it's true that it's a favorite, Voxxy.~<3" He cooed as he laid Vox out on his favorite sofa and leaned over him. His wings cascading down his back like a cape.

That laugh was another of his favorites. Maybe it was just his love for the man, but Vox had suck a cute laugh. "OK, no wig then, and I guess alternate between the dress and apron?" He suggested with a grin as he leaned into that caress. Val was always a very tactile type, he needed touch and feel even back when he was alive in his relationships. Though there was much to be said for words and gestures too.

"Umm, none of it?" He replied with blunt honesty. Not a single bit of this was a lie. He had meant all of it and was a little puzzled that Vox thought he might be yanking him around on the matter. Typically, when the moth decided something, it was a pain to convince him otherwise.... unless you were Vox, and even then, it could be trying. Valentino did tend to have very dumb and reckless ideas that he had to be talked out of.

"Of course not, it's one of my favorite Vox features." He replied, that ambitious streak, that sharp and calculating mind, what was their not to love? Of course he could always try penning these things for Vox in a romantic way, but that seemed really cheesy and old fashioned... He'd need more glitter and rhinestones first. At least then it'd look stylish with a bit of bling.

"You want me in just the apron? Or do I get to wear a cute little dress with a wig for you in the morning too?" He asked already thinking of those old pictures of the stereotype 1950's house wife. He was hot, he could pull that off. Especially if it made Vox happy. He was nothing if not a dedicated partner and he knew how to satisfy a kink.

"Of course I am, who knows how to please you better than me?" He chirped proudly his antennas peaking and curving forward a little as he leaned over Vox to steal a kiss.

"Apologies for worrying you, Eve. I did not think it had become so... transparent." Stolas sighed, no longer hiding the fact that so much was wearing on him as of late.

"It isn't... that. I don't regret ending my marriage beyond how it affects Octavia... " He stated honestly. "It's... a more complicated matter. One having to do with a relationship that I want to be more than it it." He replied with a sigh. It was just sex in exchange for power, a contract, but the Ars Goetia wanted more than that.

"It's okay to lean on others for support occasionally." (To Stolas from Eve)

Caring prompts

"Pardon? I'm not quite sure what you mean Lady Eve?" He replied politely albeit a bit bewildered. Was the stresses and problems of his station showing so much that even she noticed? He really should be more careful about that. "Really, you needn't worry about me. Things are going well." He lied. The divorce with Stella was a mess, and then their was the problems with his relationship with Blitzy.

Stolas had little regret about cutting out the poisonous Ex-wife of his outside of how it affected Octavia. As for Blitzy, things were far more complicated. He seemed to think their bond was more than it was. The reality of it was painful for him but he had done much to make sure it never showed.

Stolas stroked Fizzarolli's head as he fell into him. "There, there. Don't lose hope now, Thing will be alright." He told the clown soothingly. Stolas did not have his grimoire, but he did have a few spell that would save them. A fault in their kidnappers' logic to think he was helpless without his spellbound. Granted, he was much weaker without it.

"I think I can get us out of this cage, but they are likely to notice our absence... unless you can think of a way to keep them distracted." The owl demon suggested quietly as to not tip off the guards or draw suspicion.

@shadowzgather asked “  Just calm down.  Breathe.  I’ll take care of this.  ” (Stolas to Fizz)

Fizz's tail had wrapped around his ankles tightly. "We're in a fucking cage with a fucking psycho pervert out there. And I'm tied not in the fun way." He blurted out as he tail wrapped around him tighter. "And I just wanted to go out for a dinner and not get fucking kidnapped. This is why the outside is fucking bad. I wanna go home." He tried to move himself to at least get to the bars but instead fell straight into Stolas. "I don't like it here. It's fucking dirty and smells weird. And I'm hungry. And we're never getting out. We're going to die here and no one will ever know and I'll be replaced by a robo me and he'll take over the world and enslave them all!"

"My apologies, I did not mean to make you uncomfortable. Though you no doubt have figured out my own ties to your... former friend." He stated, noting the past tense in which Fizzarolli spoke. It sounded as if they were very close indeed and that whatever had possessed Blitzo to do what he did, it had tainted those once fond memories.

"So your friendship ended when he blew you up the first time? Mmm... I wonder if that is why he gave up his dream..." Stola thought as the flash of a memory of him and Blitzo as children popped into his mind. Blitzo saying how he was going to be the ringmaster of his own huge circus. The a more recent memory of Blitzo telling him it was just "Blitz" now and that he was a hitman for hire.

"He once told me he had wanted to be a ringmaster of a huge circus... but when I met him again much later he said he'd given that up, was just Blitz now and... you know what he does for a living now I'm sure." Stolas stated, though he wasn't completely sure if that was the case. It sounded like there were still missing pieces to this puzzle and Fizzarolli may not be aware of Blitzo's current career.

"I think... I may know something of that... was this by chance not too long ago at Lululand?" He asked, recalling something farmilar in one of these incidents.

"what do you need me to do to make you feel better? " (for stolas from fizz)

"Quite kind of you, Fizzarolli." He sighed softly. His feathers ruffled slightly as the troubled frown refused to leave his face. Many thought the life of a royal was glamorous and care free. Full of fancy parties, fine dining and free of hardships. While some of that was true, they paid a price that was different for it. Their hardships weren't gone, merely different than what others endured.

In his case, He hadn't been allowed to love who he wanted to. Trapped in a marriage to a woman that hated him from the start and he found most unbearable. He tried to make it work for the sake of his family and to make his father proud. He had endured it as long as he could but with his daughter reaching maturity he was no longer obligated. Divorcing his wife he thought he was free and that things would fall into place.

It was not that easy, however. To Blitzy, Blitzo... this was a contract of sex and lust in exchange for the use of his grimoire. He did not expect Fizzarolli to solve his problems, but...

"You and Blitzy used to work at the same circus as children, yes? I remember seeing you both proformer." He started. He had been a young owllette at the time, but he was drawn to Blitzo immediately. How much did he really know about Blitzo beyond the time they had spent together as kids at his father's bidding? It was time he tried to learn more, and Blitzy was not likely to share anything about himself. "If you wouldn't mind it, I would like to know more about you time together growing up. I think if I understood things about Blitzy better, that would help a lot." He said, forcing a bit of a smile for the star proformer.

Val had to hand it to Vox for the work he did on those mechanical wings. He didn't use his own that often but they looked stylish on Adam. Added to that rockstar vibe he had.

He chuckled a bit at that, it'd be quite a sight to behold to see those uptight angels fart out a rainbow or two. "I guess it's hard to imagine it unless you see it, especially if you had to deal with bitches like that." The moth replied before moving on from the topic.

"Oh? That how it is then? I bet we can be even more deplorable than you think." He chuckled, taking it as a compliment. "Though now your one of us, just as bad as any Sinner. You just need to get used to it I think. We get to have all sorts of fun down here." The pimp stated casually with a slight wave of his hand. It didn't bother him that Adam seemed to hate the lot of them. He met a few "holy" types that felt the same way when they wound up here. Priests or crusaders that did horrific things and wondered why they were here instead of heaven.

"Bet it's more satisfying too. No one to tell you what you can and can't do." He hummed as he grinned at the comment about the music. "What can I say, we don't limit what you can say or do in your lyrics. I bet they didn't like you even cussing up there." He mused, recalling that he used to get scolded for bad language as a kid. Heaven seemed like a place that'd do the same.

Valentino couldn't help but smirk at Adam. If someone told him years ago that the head of the exorcists was going to be an ally of the Vees he would have told them to lay off the drugs, they've had too much.

"So they don't fart rainbows and piss glitter then?" He chuckled, it was an obvious joke. "I just wondered if it was all it was cracked up to be. You used to hate the lot of us a lot, so I wondered if it was actually as great as we were all told when we were alive... well... for those of us that even were told anyway." He stated, taking a long drag of his cigarette.

He knew quite a few people that had lead perfectly decent lives only to end up in hell because they didn't even know heaven was a thing. Some of them even met their end during those extermination days. He wondered if Heaven even knew how many people on earth were just ignorant that ended up here? At least when he was alive he could attest to that being a thing.

"Besides, what's the point of bringing up your Overlord business? We know your killin' it." He replied as a compliment to the fallen angel. "Gotta say, I enjoy some of your tunes myself." He added as an after thought.

"It just so happens that I do! I visited Nagasaki when I was a mere boy and learned a little Japanese at the time... though I imagine the dialect is a bit dated." Elaphe stated, looking rather proud of himself for a moment before rubbing his chin in thought. "Ah, earning your own way in life if quite admirable! I, too, am a businessman in the technology field. I prefer to use what I earn myself as well. Though I'm not sure what this "idol" business is... do you make statues for churches?" He asked curiously. He had so many questions but noticed how tired she looked, so he tried to reel in his curiosity.

"If you're certain you're alright with that, M'lady Nimue. I don't want to impose, but I also don't have many options at the moment. I would be grateful for your kindness." Elaphe bowed, taking her hand to kiss the back of it in gratitude. "Perhaps a meeting with this sibling should come first? That way, he can see that I am a gentleman and not a rogue who would do something unclothed?" He suggested before looking to his time machine. "Alas, it cannot. At least not with its crystal broken at any rate. It is a mere hunk of metal with no power without it." He informed her with a shake of his head and a tap at the broken crystal at the machine's front.

@shadowzgather Cont. from Here.

   It's kind of hard to think someone's gone mad with a machine like that. On the plus side, he's shown up in an abandoned location which means he won't be noticed. Perhaps that's one good thing about this location. The only reason she's out here herself is because it's one of the best places to stargaze. 

   So much for doing that tonight.

   Listening quietly, she honestly looks like she hasn't slept in days, but that's the usual. Once he's done speaking, her attention turns back to the machine, observing it. 

" Well, Mr. Penthouse, you've picked a terrible time and place to show up in. I hope you know some Japanese. " Sighs. " Nimue Umiko, I guess I come from a wealthy family but I don't touch family funds, I earn mine through idol and technology-based work. So I guess I'm sorta famous or whatever. Don't worry too much about that. "

   Circling the machine, she chews on her bottom lip for a moment. The question is what to do with this thing. He could probably leave it here and come work on it as needed. The bigger issue is what to do with him. Turning to face him again, she brings a hand up to tap her finger against her cheek. 

" As much as I should probably just send a stranger on their way, if you really do come from the past you're not going to do well here at all without some guidance. I only have an apartment, but if you need a place to stay while you work on this, I suppose you could stay. God my brother's going to kill me for letting some random man into my apartment, whatever, I'll figure out how to explain things to him. Anyway, this is probably safe here for now since it's abandoned otherwise. Unless you're going to tell me it can shrink or something. "

It wasn't so much the right person, just that he was discussing things with Angel Dust about it. Jamie requested Angel be debut, and Val respected that and gave it some consideration. There were a few films that Angel had to finish first, and then their was writing and making the new script for Jamie's first role. He wanted to make it easy enough for a newbie actor to learn their part and still up to the standards that Angel Dust's fans expected.

Right now, he was making use of the violinists' musical talents instead. The violin meshing well with the song that was off in the distance. Valentino continued to sketch, not looking up at Jamie, but he did answer after a few moments. "Take five, Star." Val replied and gestured for him to take a seat. "The food will be here soon. You'll need to eat too." He stated, suggesting that he ordered something for the newbie demon as well.

"Neon lights Warm the windy nights While a scrapyard kitten starts to cry And the dust covered memories fill my eyes"

The soft melody of the song could be heard in the background as Valentino looked out over the balcony of the ritzy looking casino. The music wasn't coming from with in. It was far too gloomy sounding for a place like this. He was mostly here for the food rather than gambling but the music off in the distance was a nice contrast to the loud bustle inside. He simply took it in and listened for a few moments before taking out his small notebook and started to sketch as he waited for his order.

Ffff--! He hated this part but knew it was a necessary part of the process. "Right, right..." He stated, biting back the swear as he folded his wings back to expose his arm. At least he was meeting with another Overlord. He wouldn't trust just anyone to do this. It'd be too easy to abuse. Technically, it still could be abused, but there was a little more trust for a fellow Overlord. "Let's try not to draw this out too long, si?" He stated, not being too fond of hospitals in life, and that hadn't changed much in death.

@bxrningembers || x

"Well, okay! But I'll need a sample of your blood so I can run some tests first." Novocaine chirped. She didn't usually meet directly with patients these days but given he was a fellow Overlord she felt it best to handle this herself.

That was certainly a way to go. Not many demon were so open about how they died. It made it easy to trace back to who you were. What your real name was. Most demons didn't use their real names, and for good reason. Names held power over a demon as did soul contracts give power to the contract holder. This one was fairly new to Hell, so he at least wanted to give him a fighting chance.

"Should probably keep that sorta thing private. Names, real ones, have power here in hell. Someone can gain a lot of power over you with just that knowledge." Valentino warned, so that Jamie could be more mindful.

"That's true for normal situations, but this is the sex trade. It's like any other business unless bondage and S&M are involved." He grinned, trust wasn't a thing in film, and that didn't change in pornography. You were playing a role, acting. It's just sex was involved, and it wasn't personal.

"You misunderstand, it isn't that I won't hire you, and that's a useful trick, by the way, but I wanna make sure you know what you're signing up for. If you're sure you wanna be a pornstar, I'll make good use of you. That said, I'm gonna need you to convince Angel Dust to leave that hotel. That also means you're gonna have to leave, too." He stated before grinning and producing a gold contract with the terms of their deal. It even included a violin so he could keep his wages.

He knew who the young man referred to. Angel Dust. Valentino had a good information network because Vox and word from his other workers that kept him looped in on things.

He also knew that meant that this man was staying at that hotel for "Redeeming Sinners." Not that he thought that worked, but on the off chance it did, he would be out his star actor, and Valentino didn't like losing anything. He clung to the things and people he had like precious treasures. That's what his contracts were to him, his treasures.

"You do know what sorta business I run? I can put you to work, but their will be strings attached. No pun intended." Valentino replied seriously. Sex work might seem easy, but it was hard work and came with a lot of risks and dangers. There were also the terms for their contract to consider as well. He wanted this guy to make sure he had thought this through fully. As an artist himself, he could sympathize with Jamie, but this was still business, and he had a few ideas how to use him for his own ends.

"Carmilla..." Valentino's voice was low but soft, an almost sensual tone as he tried again, tilting her chin to look at him. His upper hands took her's gently, caressing them. Before his lips connected to hers in a soft kiss. It wasn't long, but it wasn't a mere peck ether. "Let go, mi querida. Let me help." He cooed to her softly, in a sweet as honey manner.

The slap connected well enough, but no violence came to his fellow Overlord. He had a temper, sure, but he didn't strike his employees even if their were some rumors saying otherwise. He also had no intention of striking a drunk woman.

"You scared of me, Carmilla? I didn't take you for one to believe those rumors, too." He stated more than question. There was an odd calm from him. He wasn't angry, more... disappointed. Those rumors must be getting bad if even his fellow Overlords were buying into them. He might have to do something about them before they caused actual harm to his reputation and business.

"I'm holding you to that, now go knock 'em dead out there, Rockstar!" Valentino stated, giving his shoulder a little comforting rub before letting Adam go preform. He wasn't going to let the first man go without telling him what was going on, but the concert came first. He could pry anything that was bothering his newest treasure out once the show was over.

*rushes through door* yells back a "Sorry i'm late"! Before hoofing it to his dressing room. "Ok...ok make up make up,eyeshadow check,lipstick check, foundation...opens drawers frantically "Aw dam it,where'd I put it"!!?

Valentino casually followed Adam to his dressing room. "You ran out after your last show. Don't worry, I got you some more." He chuckled and placed the glass container of foundation on the vanity table.

"More than that, why are you late, Adam? That isn't like you." The moth demon cooed in the ear of the first man, hands resting on the shoulders of his latest treasure. Adam was a lot of things, but he was typically pretty punctual. It was something Val had come to appreciate.

there's still a lot of work to be done. (workaholic prompt / vox to alastor)

PROMPTS FOR WORKAHOLIC CHARACTERS WHO PUSH THEMSELVES TOO HARD

"Perhaps, but working yourself to exhaustion will only make you more likely to make mistakes that you will need to redo later." Alastor pointed out as his claws trailed along Vox's screen's edge. "Come. Get some rest, old chum." He suggested as he let his claw flicker over the screen's audio port, purposely teasing it in a playful manner.

Alastor didn't like to be touched by others with few exceptions but had no issue invading everyone else's personal space. His colleagues, the Vees being among those exceptions. Vox, in particularly, he had a strong bond with, despite some reluctance to modernize on his part. He had finally accepted a cellphone after much complaining, though it was a huge brick of a thing. The very earliest model of a cellphone.

Still, it was probably the best Vox would get from the Radio Demon.

Lack Of Sleep Starters

The pimp gave a frown. He had been up all night making sure his workers weren't getting mistreated by clients. Was he exhausted? Yes. Was he gonna admit it? Nope. "Symphony and Galaxy are still with clients. I gotta be up if they need me." Valentino replied like some worried parent waiting at home for their teenage kids to return from a party. No one would think his profession and parents were so similar, even he would deny that comparison.

"Or are you offering to join me tonight, Dezzy?" He joked in a flirty manner. That would be too distracting should he need to get out to his workers if their was an emergency.
