🌑 “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.”

“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

☣️ 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
🌕 “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?”
".... 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

Val observed both of the forms before deciding. Both looked great, but...

❝ Go with your male form. People are going to think I'm soft if I'm seen out enjoying a "dinner date" with a softer looking woman. ❞

A bit misogynistic, but that's to be expected.
🌑 “What? Am I not allowed to eat the occasional mortal food?”

The sarcasm was high with this one

“I’m not too picky. Plus trying new foods excites me. Oh that reminds me: which for do you prefer? I can’t really decide.”

They would split into two beings. A male and female version of themselves

🌑 “Oh I’m aware of that. Flexing my abilities a bit in my less than stealer state does take some effort.”

This was a half lie. Yes they were in a weakened state, but this little act didn’t require much effort

“You’re acting like I’m asking for an adjustment in our deal. No no, it’s simpler than+
The moth looked over at the man with a shake of his head.

❝ Oh come off it, I'll deal with this shit in one way or another. You're still eating good from the fear I've been putting into these bitches. ❞
November 19, 2025 at 10:08 PM
🌑 “Looks like I’ll have to do some work since you’re having such a hard time doing even this. Since I’m deciding to help you, what am I getting to be compensated for doing this little favor huh?”

Pushing off the window, they stretched their arms and back in unnaturally ways even for a demon before+
❝ As far as I'm concerned, they have to /earn/ that respect. Even /if/ they gave it their all, that doesn't change the fact they're constantly slacking off and failing to do the things they literally signed their souls away for.

It's fucking disgusting... ❞
🌑 “I’m not too loud. Unless you want my voice bouncing around in that small head of yours~”

Letting out a chuckle, he turned around to look at the window

“A little kindness and understanding is all that is required you simple creature. That or a little respect. Either or goes a long way.”

❝ It's more-so /quiet/ is needed, but fine. ❞

Closing his eyes, trying to piece things together, the moth shudders.

❝ Ugh, you're not suggesting that I give them even /more/ than the world, are you? I literally can't even provide that. ❞
🌑 “Oh don’t be so grumpy. Can’t think when I’m around? Could it be I live in your head rent free?”

Joining him at the window, the ate the glass containing their drink before looking at him

“Try a different approach. A new angle. Surely you can think of a new way to do things.”

The moth merely scoffed as he turned back to the window, looking out over Pentagram City.

❝ Fine by me then, I'll just figure it out like I always have. Now shoo, I need space to concentrate. ❞
🌑 Playing along with the shove, the entity phased through the wall before coming out on his other side with drink in hand

“I see what you’re doing there. I don’t really need anything extra. Gonna have to use your brain here to convince me.”

This man assumed too much of the moth, prompting Val to shove him off with a small scoff.

❝ It's a "help me help you" situation. You need more fear to feed off of, right? I need my workers to be kept in line.

You want more? I'll give you more at no extra price.~ ❞
🌑 “You know no one ever says that because of how stupid it sounds right?”

Disappearing from sight, they would appear at his side leaning against him with one arm

“Oh I do, but what’s in it for me to help you with this little endeavor?”
November 19, 2025 at 5:23 AM

❝ They already have a fuck ton of good things going for them. A little negative reinforcement never hurt anyone. ❞

The moth turned to look at his recent business associate, a small scowl stretched across his face.

❝ I don't suppose /you/ have any bright ideas since you want to be so damn mouthy? ❞
what your end goal is.”

❝ I could always send a few batches from a harvest every now and then if you want. ❞

Belphegor begins to walk once she touches ground, gesturing for the lady to follow her.

❝ I know how barren Wrath can be more times than not... ❞
☣️ Normally she would be quite intimidating, but the fragment had been working on that as of late

The thought of dragonfruit did help with that a good amount

“That sounds really good. I haven’t had any in some time. I should ask some of castle workers if they could acquire some when I get home.”
