🌑 Letting her lead, the fear entity had an unusual expression on their face. An expression of deep thought for once

“In my eons of life, I’ve never moved asked myself that question. Guess you can chalk it up to the basic instincts of any living creature. The need to survive.”

Their odd expression
<<< how does an eldritch being that feeds off of fear view themself, the people around them, or even the nature of their existence? What would you change if anything? ❞

Damn, guess Val had too much to drink after all if she's asking these types of questions in such a soft, vulnerable tone.

🌑 “This is very true. I’m more sophisticated than I come across. Though less than a handful as seen what lies beneath the surface.”

The change of tune did get their tail swaying back and forth. A rather nice selection
❝ We've only interacted a handful of times since our arrangement, so how am I to know just what lies beneath your surface, hmm? ❞

Val brushes past the other with a small hum as she goes over to the speakers and her phone. The song has changed to... Little Wonders, by Rob Thomas.~
🌑 A distorted chuckle was heard as she leaned closer with a small smirk which they copied. Only difference they made their eyes glow slightly

“By all means and what do you mean by self serious? Is that a reference to how I conduct myself? Well, as far as you’ve seen anyway.”

“By all means and what do you mean by self serious? Is that a reference to how I conduct myself? Well, as far as you’ve seen anyway.”
Val's eyes eyes flutter as she thinks, only to decide to lean forward with a small smirk.

❝ Then I'll take the reins, just as long as I get to change the song to fit the present company. As much as I adore the song I was dancing to, you're far too... Self serious for that.~ ❞
🌑 “I could lead if you want me to. If so, I like to match appearances with energy~”

Seamlessly shifting into a more masculine form while keeping off of their normal features, they playfully spun her around before kissing the knuckle of her hand

“What would you prefer~?”

“What would you prefer~?”
❝ f you're going to cut in like this, who am I to refuse such a calling? I take it you also want to lead since you're being so assertive~? ❞

It's apparent she likes this suave assertiveness based on her smile. Those crimson lips curling and revealing a normally hidden, tender side of Val.
🌑 “Is that so? Solo acts are quite entertaining to watch, but duos even more so.”

Slowly floating down to the ground, the fear entity gently pulled the mannequin away and seamlessly took its place

“Shall I have this dance?”

🌑 “Is that so? Solo acts are quite entertaining to watch, but duos even more so.”

Slowly floating down to the ground, the fear entity gently pulled the mannequin away and seamlessly took its place

“Shall I have this dance?”
The picture was still obscured, much like the lady leading the dance was still dancing despite the obvious invitation to take place of the mannequin.

❝ Usually, but the person I'd normally do this sort of thing with is... Occupied, as it were. ❞
🌑 Watching this from the ceiling, she couldn’t help but smile and chuckle from this display of movement. Though the mannequin was rather odd

“Wouldn’t you prefer a real partner over this thing?”

“Wouldn’t you prefer a real partner over this thing?”
Looks like the lady of the hour is back, and she's... Slow dancing?

She's got a flexible mannequin with an obscured picture taped on their face. "As the World Caves In" is playing over various speakers in the room and Val was humming as she glided across the floor with the mannequin.

⚖️ I’ll join in this
December 21, 2025 at 7:42 PM
⚖️ Sorry for my absence. Was taking a break from things

I think I’m ready to come back

🌕 “I’ve heard of the tradition, but never really thought of doing it. I guess the cheek will suffice.”

He could see that she was nervous so the cheek was the best part as to not overwhelm her
@crites.bsky.social

"so like. This is a tradition... So I have to kiss you. Where would you prefer I kiss you?"

She's totally not nervous and worried she might upset him

🌑 “I’ll do neither of that thank you very much. You’re not exactly my type.”

A snicker was heard from him as he approached a door before cocking an eyebrow

“The hell is a limo?”
❝ Oh please, I don't do hand holding anyways. Well, unless you mean holding them down.~ ❞

The pimp chortles as he begins to walk his way over to the door to the penthouse suite.

❝ ¿Ever ridden in a limo before, Chiquito~? ❞
🌑 “She’s a petulant child with a temper shorter than an atom, but she’s still my sister.”

Turning back around, he gave approval nods to the outfit before smiling

“I’m ready. Don’t expect me to hold your hand or anything.”

❝ Sounds like quite the family, but I guess it doesn't matter much. ❞

Val walked up to the other, cocking his hips to the right as his lower arms rested in his pockets.

❝ Now, you ready to go get dinner or do you want to spruce up a little more? ❞
🌑 “It was done out of spite and I hated every second afterwards. My sister thought it was hilarious.”

They were clearly still very salty about it even though it happened extremely long ago. Even beings like him aren’t immune to the basic human emotions
November 20, 2025 at 1:15 AM
☣️ Arriving at a grand garden, the fragment couldn’t help but look around in awe at all the different plants and fruits before her attention was pulled back to the sin

Taking all four, they proved to be quite heavy since she wasn’t all to strong

“T-Thank you! I’m sure these basket will last me a+
❝ A special little treat for you then. ❞

The sheep offers a small giggle as they reach a grand garden of various fruits and vegetables. Walking up to a basket filled with dragonfruit, Belphegor took four of them and offered them over to her guest.

❝ You may do with these as you see fit, enjoy.~ ❞
☣️ “I would love that very much. Luckily my brother and half sister don’t really like it so that means more for me.”

Following close behind, there was almost a skip in her step

“More so due to Ira going on an overlord cull in wrath since they couldn’t come to an agreement on something.”
November 20, 2025 at 12:35 AM
🌕 “It’s no problem. Though I can’t exactly let you just stay here all willy nilly though. You’re gonna have to put in some work.”

An extra pair of hands would make his workload just a bit easier

“How are you with talking to people?”
"... What-"

Well she's definitely nervous and fidgety now.

"Well... Okay. Yes! Thank you so much"

She's now nodding rapidly, while she's trying to remember how did she get there
🌕 “That’s rather strange to say the least. Nothing really comes to mind as to why this happened.”

To say he was puzzled about this was a massive understatement

“Well since you clearly don’t belong here and if you were to head out, you’d be targeted quickly, you can stay here.”

A small chuckle came from Val as he quickly suited up and draped his wings over the back of the suit like it was some kind of cape. The usual thing for him given his anatomy, mind.

❝ A /star/, huh? Sounds exotic.~ ❞
🌑 Turning right around, he’d return was definitely not going to watch that. Why sour his eyes and lose his appetite right before dinner?

“I’ve eaten a star before. Nothing is as spicy as that. Burned my tongue for a damn decade because of it.”

He was NOT happy about that one bit

"... Hmm"

She's taking a deep breath before shaking her head.

"No... I don't.... I was in a photoshoot... That's all I remember."
🌕 “Your guess is as good as mine really. I’m just as curious as you.”

Turning around and Leaving, he’d return with a glass of water for her

“Where were you before you ended up in my shop?”

❝ Mature /is/ sexy at times.~ ❞

Valentino began to strip down and change right before the other with a smile.

❝ Before we discuss desert more, what's your opinion on spicy food? You better have a good tolerance for it! ❞
🌑 Blinking all four of his eyes in separate intervals, he looked down at his clothes again before it shifted into a casual suit with the same colors

“Better? As for you……………..traditional. Not because it makes you look sexier, but because it’s more mature.”
November 20, 2025 at 12:06 AM

Turning around and Leaving, he’d return with a glass of water for her

“Where were you before you ended up in my shop?”
".... Oh my god."

She's having a small breakdown. Give her a moment

"How did I end up here? Why am I here?"

She doesn't evn match the aesthetic dressed in blues and whites.
🌕 “Well for starters, you’re in my workshop though I assume that’s not the extent of which you asked.”

The dragon said, crossing his arms loosely with his wings adjusting themselves on his shoulders

“The other part is that you’re in hell.”

❝ You look fine as is, but I wouldn't mind seeing you get all snazzy.~ ❞

Val took two of his suits out and examined them. One was a full white suit with a black collared shirt. The other was the inverse.

❝ White tux or traditional? Which do you think makes me look sexier~? ❞
desert. Hmm, should I change this outfit of mine?”
November 19, 2025 at 11:51 PM
🌑 “Oh no, I wasn’t going to harm them physically. Was talking mentally. Mind games is what I’m good at whether it be reality or in their dreams.”

How he describe this new dish to him did get the entity rather hungry since their nonexistent stomach started to growl

“Now I’m excited to try this+
<<< dough with a nice, gooey center. It can even be dipped in chocolate sauce. Shit's the /best/.~ ❞
November 19, 2025 at 11:36 PM
🌑 “I don’t know what that is, but it does sound rather tasty so that works.”

It was a mixture of both. With that settled, a copy of him appear from a nearby wall and left the room to motivate the workers

“As for my end of it, I’ll get them motivated and leave them in one piece…..I think.”
❝ Such a /beggar/, but alright. How do freshly baked churros sound~? ❞

At this point, Val couldn't tell if he was just being genuine or petty... Regardless of that though, he'll relent.
🌑 Looking up at him with only two eyes, he thought about it for a moment before fully facing him

“Buy me desert too and I’ll fully forgive you.”

To him, it was a fair deal given it was just him being in a sour mood

"Excuse me perhaps you know where am I?".

She's tilting her head as she pulls on his arm softly, she looks quite distraught on the fact she doesn't recognize the place

❝ Pff, /sure/... Alright, Baby, I'm sorry. ❞

Val walked up and put his top set of hands on the other's shoulders.

❝ If you want to be a woman, I won't stop you.~ ❞
🌑 “Just because I asked for your opinion doesn’t mean I can’t get hurt by em. I have feelings too.”

Rolling his eyes, he huffed before crossing his arms. Someone was in a pouty mood now

“Say your sorry.”

❝ I'm mostly talking about the face, Darling. As far as I'm concerned, people know my tastes are a lot more refined than something so vanilla. Very pretty, sexy too, but not enough for me to get it going at a first glance.

Plus, you asked for my opinion, don't get hurt because I'm honest. ❞
🌑 Both copies blinked for a moment before the female one disappeared in a puff of smoke. He clearly wasn’t expecting that to be the reason

“Ouch. I may be considered a god to my cults, but even I can feel insulted every once in a while.”

Talk about a wounded pride
