Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel corporate AU:

Wrote this AU with some friends last night and it was too good not to share publically:

Hell is replaced with a massive afterlife based corporation called 'Hell Inc' that handles the production, distribution, and management of all the various types of evil in the world; while also acting as the largest employeer of damned souls in existence and a direct competitor to Heaven LLC.

The company is headed by it's Chief Pride Officer and founder, Lucifer Morningstar, beneath him is the company's Vice President Charlie Morningstar after the former VP retired and disappeared under odd circumstances. Charlie has been trying (and failing) to get the company in some semblance of order and addressing the horrible working conditions that arose as a result of her father's near endless apathy and depression stemming from a millennia of accumulated burnout.

Below them are the six members of Hell inc's board of directors who run the various company departments:

Mammon, Chief Greed Officer (CGRO) and head of the greed department. Which manages the company finances as well as several financial institutions on earth like Banks and Casinos

Beelzebub, Chief Gluttony Officer (CGLO) and head of the gluttony department. They run Hell Inc's marketing campaigns and manages several fast food chains in the human world such as Bee Burger

Asmodeus, Chief Lust Officer (CLO) and head of the lust department. They run Hell inc's production lines in the underworld and various media conglomerates on earth.

Satan, Chief Wrath Officer (CWO) and head of the wrath department. Which handles all security related matters along with war and conflict in the human world, primarily arms manufacturers

Leviathan, Chief Envy Officer (CEO) and head of the Envy department. Which runs Hell Inc's research and development and various construction ventures on earth

And Belphagor, Chief Sloth Officer (CSO) and head of the Sloth department. Which is in charge of all health related company matters along with various hospitals and insurance companies on earth.

Each has their own unique management problems and while they once worked in tandem, which has resulted in a slough of issues from a lack of individual oversight. Such as Greed's severe budget cuts, Envy's ridiculously long working hours coupled with high standards, and employees in Wrath that spend more time arguing than getting things done.

Beneath them are the middle managers, the Ars Goetia, but they're among some of the most useless members of the company. Holding nothing more than figurehead positions to create the illusion of a centralized hierarchy when in reality they just pass their work onto the various supervisors within each department. Recent hire Stella is particularly bad in this way as the only reason she has the position at all was due to the nepotism provided by her brother Andrephelus who works alongside her in the Envy department.

(the only exception is Lust's middle manager Stolas)

Then we have the supervisors, the actual managers of the department divisions who occupy the role of authority figure that the Ars Goetia fail to fill themselves. Notable supervisors include:

Crimson Knolastname: Greed department supervisor overseeing most organized crime with a focus on blackmail activities

Wally Wackford: Greed department supervisor in charge of scams and white collar crimes.

Verosika Mayday: Lust department supervisor and PR manager for the department

Fizzarolli: originally an intern in greed, he was later transferred over to Lust and supervises the roleplay and costume divisions of the lust department

Vortex: the primary event coordinator for the Gluttony department along with new employee orientation

Striker: Wrath department supervisor, handling any and all matters relating to mercenary work and assassinations

Joe and Lin: Wrath department supervisors, the former managing the hand to hand combat division while the latter runs the in house medical center and trains all Wrath Department employees in battlefield aid.

And last but not least are all the rank and file employees that makeup Hell inc's primary workforce. They're usually sorted by species: Baphomets work for the Sloth Department, Imps work for the Wrath department, Succubi and Incubi work for the Lust department, etc. However this is only for their initial probational period, if their skills prove to be more suitable elsewhere in the company then can be transferred into another department.

With one exception: Pride. The department in charge of processing all damned souls at the time of death and general evil relations in the human world

The Pride department is the largest and most chaotic of all of Hell Inc's departments, it's facing an ever increasing workload that it struggles to manage and even with the steady flow of Sinners rolling in to fill vacancies the department is constantly short staffed. So not only are sinners forbidden from being transferred to other departments, but any hellborn that get transferred in Never. Ever. Leave. Getting assigned to the Pride Department is basically a life sentence and it doesn't help that the department itself has basically gained a reputation as a dumping ground for misfit employees that can't properly function in any other department.

To make matters worse, while the other departments have some level of rules and standards when it comes to employee conduct. The Pride Department is left in almost total disarray thanks to every supervisor in the department being blood thirsty corporate climbers who are constantly screwing one another over to gain more recognition in the overall company. The supervisors affectionately nicknamed the Vees: Velvette (social media manager), Vox (IT supervisor), and Valentino (employee recruitment manager) are the absolute worst when it comes to this backstabbing.

However, the biggest problem facing the Pride department is none other than the man eaters in the Demon Resources division. Ran by two supervisors known as Rosie and Alastor, the former handling employee disputes while the later is in charge of terminating employee contracts...and employees. If you get called into Alastor's office, that's usually the last anyone hears of you. The rest of HR isn't much better either as they all tend to be of a similar temperament to their supervisors.

But for all it's mess, VP Charlie genuinely believes she can clean up the company one department at a time; starting with the Pride Department. With the backing of both her father and the HR rep Alastor, she's assembled a solid team of employees willing to help her with the task.

And by that I mean employees that were voluntold to help her:

Husk, former supervisor in charge of managing Hell inc's gambling holdings that had been partially outsourced from Greed's own workers. Alastor had personally handled his demotion after it was found the cat demon had been skimming off the top.

Vaggie, the head of the security division of the Pride Department and Charlie's girlfriend. The rumors of her rise to power via nepotism are matched only by the rumors that she transferred in from Hell inc's rival company, Heaven LLC

Angel, a rank and file employee of pride with no particular specialization who's working directly under Val. He claims he's only on board with Charlie's plan in hopes of getting a promotion, but it's rather obvious he really just wants to get away from his current boss by any means necessary

Sir Pentious, part of the R&D team and widely considered to be one of the worst researchers in the entire company due to the numerous cases of collateral damage he's caused. Charlie's project is not only his last chance to avoid getting a pink slip for both his job and his life, but also to get the professional recognition he so desperately craves

Niffty, once a member of the janitorial team. Nobody knows where she came from or how long she's been working her, only that she's some what of an oddity even by Hell inc standards. The only thing that's certain about her is that she's an employee you should give a wide berth to if you value your personal safety

Meanwhile in the Pride department, a small little clique has formed of low level demons that have transferred in from other departments and work in the revenge division:

Blitzo, the supervisor of the division who's quite skilled at falling upwards. He is completely and utterly incompetent at his job, choosing instead to slack off with the toy ponies he spends his salary on or flirt/sexually harass his coworkers rather than actually performing any administrative duties. The only reason he still has his job is likely due to a 'friend' he has in middle management that keeps covering for him.

Moxxie, an accounting intern that transferred in from greed after a disastrous project with now ex-employee Chaz that resulted in massive losses for the greed department, causing Mammon to dump the 'useless' imp into the Pride department. Usually the one doing Blitzo's job for him, very begrudgingly I might add, and frequently grumbles about his station but secretly enjoys the group he's found. Especially his wife...

Millie, a security guard transferred from Wrath after several complaints in regards to 'excessive force' were leveled against her. Luckily she's adjusted quite well to her new position in the Pride Department even if she tends to drift under the radar more often than not, but she remains optimistic that she'll get a worthwhile promotion someday. In the meantime, she makes use of her spare time tending to her weapon collection or having sexual encounters with her husband around the office; away from most prying eyes

Loona, one of Hell inc's newest hires. Originally slated to be an intern in the Gluttony department, her attitude problems forced Beelzebub to personally see to it that the hound was relocated to a position in the Pride Department for both her own safety and that of her coworkers. Takes after her supervisors slacker tendencies in an apathetic way, spending practically every waking moment glued to her phone, much to Moxxie's frustration.

And that's the lot of the company! We hope you enjoy your stay at Hell Inc! Remember: Today is the first day of your eternal life....

(P.S. you didn't hear this from me, but rumor has it that Heaven LLC has been experiencing plenty of problems of it's own. Such as poor leadership, communication issues, and nepotism even worse than anything seen at Hell Inc. And there's even a few sources that claim that former VP Lilith was seen on their board of directors, but you know how people like to talk.)

GhostSoap famous gambler husbands AU

Ghost who will clear an entire casino once, usually over the course of 3-4 days or up to a week, before leaving and never returning. Never goes to the same house twice. All house masters know of him. Well practically everyone knows of him, he's a legend at the top of the ranks, and if you meet him you only meet him once. And oddly enough he never seems to be far behind nation famous gambler Soap...

Soap who will clean out table after table of a few houses for weeks before he moves on. He rotates houses every few weeks, house masters know him well, he draws in many challengers, business booms for house masters. So he ends up winning just as much as he brings in (he has a public schedule on his socials (to the public Ghost is saop's bodyguard; dresses drastically different and with a different mask when gambling, as opposed to when he's with soap))

The Ghost is just as elusive as his name suggests. He has no socials, speaks to almost nobody except head of table and house master(s), and those he does speak to gets no more that a few words of unimportant forgettable information. While it's said that The Ghost never returns its a lie, he just doesn't return until after soap has started a new cycle of visits for the season. And he never makes himself known, caught only by wispers in the crowd until it reaches the house master.

Soap on the other hand has just about every social media platform you could think of (the big ones anyway) twitter, instagram, tumblr, reddit, ect. (No facebook but there is a page dedicated to him) He's active too. Keeps his location updated to that week's casino(s). Pictures of what he did that weekend, his current hyper fixation, what show or movie he's currently obsessed with. He shares gambling tips for people just starting, but nothing to give away his secrets. The public knows that he has a husband (it's kinda hard to miss the flashy gold ring when he tries to get it in every photo of him) but don't know who it is. They do know that he has a heart of gold and enthusiastically protects his wishes to remain anonymous. Sometimes even going as far as attacking newer fans who try to reveal that information, Soap has had to remind people to be nice to eachother.

It's honestly a scam, they laugh about it at night while in bed sometimes. They think it's a miracle that nobody's caught on yet, or if they have that they haven't leaked it.

Despite having so many riches they live a modest life. Sure it's more than most, a house, food, money to have a much fun as they could possibly want, and a sizable savings. But they do donate a good portion of their winnings, try to help people in need, don't spend on overly frivolous things (excluding their gambling attire because appearances matter in that kind of setting)

John and Simon Riley-Mactavish work in a small, locally known bar, The 1-4-1, co-owned by John Price and his adopted son Kyle Garrick, sat in the middle block of a chain of casinos. It's frequented by solem casino go-ers after a long night of misfortunes or celebrating parties of extreme luck.

Simon Riley-Mactavish works as The 1-4-1's seasoned bartender making drinks, taking orders, charming the excitable patrons eager enough to miss or ignore the silver band that sits politely on his finger. When he sees someone getting harrassed he's quick to ask on a napkin if they'd like an angel shot (with lemon for take them to the back, lime if they need an escort to their car/uber, or straight if it's an emergency and needs immediate intervention). He's also a petty bitch so if it's not an emergency he'll order the harasser the most disgusting drink he can make, on the house.

John Riley-Mactavish is security of The 1-4-1, it's honest work. He's great at de-escalating situations, corrallin the too roudy. He's who is called when an angel shot is ordered. Luckily it's not too often. Usually is using his charm to finesse and guide the too handsy and drunk out of the bar and on their way home. All that being said... he has no tolerance for disrespect and hate, and it's a damned good thing price doesn't mind a little chaos or he'd have been kicked out already. He's got a watchful eye, intentional misuse of pronouns in a malicious way, racist, misogynistic, or homophobic comments is an immediate out. And he's none too gentle when he does it. Aside from the not infrequent need to remove someone he does enjoy his job, most people are respectful, he finds good conversations, gets to hand out at the bar with Simon. Price lets his go where he wants as long as he does his job well, and he does.

How I imagine the mechs run cons:

Jonny kinda just gets drunk and improvises. It works really fucking well a lot of the time. Also, slight penchant for rigged games of chance, picking a random but lethal game, becoming the dealer in any casino game, that sort of thing. (Wonder where he picked that up)

Ashes considers fraud to be like the second or third funnest crime, obviously not beating arson and murder, but still rather fun. Ashes also has a wide range when it comes to what con they choose, but often it includes showing off manipulation skills.

Brian’s favorite con is fake prophecies or real and not useful prophecies. Granted it often isn’t a con, and he’s just being a prophet, so I’m not sure this counts.

Marius just gets up to all sorts of medical quackery, sometimes he starts a radiation fad on planets in that critical development phase where they know what radiation is but don’t know it hurts you. Sometimes Marius does sell working medicine as well as fakes or simply functional and deeply stupid medicine, depends on his mood.

The toy soldier is kinda bad at cons, more because sometimes it commits to the bit too hard and actually renders promised services even when not logically plausible. It is rather convincing it just tends to pretend to fulfill the service as opposed to pretending to pretend to fulfill the service.

Calling Raph’s cons cons is kind of not accurate, She often publishes science that works and is greatly in advance of what they have and as such is hard to replicate. Also sometimes just walking into a lab and leaving with hard to find tools or materials.

Ivy is very very meticulous when she does run a con. Every detail planned and documented, the methods vary, but there will be at least five ways to pull the plug, and the targets to get access to are often books, archival hdds and the like.

Tim tends to go violent enough that it can’t really be called a con anymore, though he did steal the identity of the “war hero” Achilles for a bit while in the city.

Nastya’s preferred scam method is becoming an engineer for the mark, and as such gaining widespread access to everything.

crawling back from a hole to GEEK about suitcase gang members that would get along the best 💁‍♀️

- x, medicine pocket, and sotheby: lethal IRB nightmares

- med poc and sotheby: explosive concoctions

- centurion and tennant: harbingers of serial bankruptcy

- mesmer jr. and 6: orderliness

- dikke and 6: law and order (dun dun)

- melania and bkornblume: the thief and her gal in the chair (they're a ship too)

- eagle and shamane: shamane is MAD impressed at this girl's wilderness skills + will also be willing to teach her stuff

- horropedia, an an lee, and blonney: it's always horro and blonney / horro and an an but never these three together. you can bet that blon and horro surrounds an an to ask about her ghost vacuum

- blonney and desert flannel: she's in patch 1.5 but her design tells me that she's rocking her closet which is a bonding topic with blonney

- lilya and jiu niangzi: girl is in patch 1.6 but all that is known for now for global players is that she makes killer alcohol. cue lilya as her willing taste-tester

- sputnik 1 and 37: just 37 marvelling this perfect sphere

- alien T and 37: this girl again eyeing the ufo's circumference

- kaala bauna and voyager: kaala has a question or two about the heavenly bodies

- dikke and knight: s w o r d

ohhh fun! here's a few dynamics and characters I think would get along since you've shared your own!

Baby Blue and every character younger than her--especially Balloon Party

Baby Blue is just 17 but I do like to think that, bc of her connection with Wonderland and innocence, she would act as a big sister for many of the younger arcanists. especially Balloon Party since the two reject adults or the idea of growing up!

Blonney and Bunny Bunny

both characters have a focus on movie or hollywood as a concept, both are also girls around the same age range who know what it's like to be put into very restrictive stereotypes (the blonde bimbo, the southerner). I think they'd get along, and it's very funny to think about Blonney go straight to Bunny Bunny for help if Jessica ever needs help, since Bunny Bunny's family had a farm lmfao

but I also just rlly love girls who are total opposites on a surface level being close friends bc of the small little things they do have in common

Sweetheart and Bette, following the same reasoning as the Blonney and Bunny Bunny

THE MOST FAMOUS ACTRESS AND A STRUGGLING ACTRESS...BEING FRIENDS... SEEING EACH OTHERS PERSPECTIVES....

sorry I'm very passionate abt Sweetheart being so jaded and tired of the way hollywood treated her and warped her image to be nothing but a product for the audience's consumption. and very passionate abt Bette near-delusional hope of making it into the industry

Sonetto and Zima, both being poets

I could've added Charlie or The Fool since the idea is similar, but I feel like Zima would work best?

all three of these characters cherish the power of the written word and have used it against injust systems, but I think that Charlie's insecurities would hold her back a lot from truly bonding with Sonetto thru poetry, and The Fool is too much of a revolutionary--his very open and vocal "down with the monarchy, every person in authority is a fucking fool" vibe would clash with Sonetto's obedient dog aspects. Zima, however, feels perfect to act as another poet for Sonetto to befriend and a mentor to slowly introduce her to more open ideologies

SURE hes a recluse and socially inept bc of the years of isolation in exile, BUT HES NOT SHY WHEN IT COMES TO SHARING HIS VIEWS AND THOUGHTS OR WORK. hes the perfect idea of subdued and quiet strength, I rlly think Sonetto could really benefit from having him as a mentor or responsible adult figure

Pavia and Centurion

YES, I KNOW TENNANT IS VERY OBVIOUS FOR CENTURION BC SHE SCAMS PPL AND CENTURION IS VERY LUCKY SO SHE WINS AT EVERYTHING AND PUT MANY PLACES INTO BANKRUPCY

but I'm NEVER letting go of casino dealer Pavia from the artificial somnambulism stages. these two? theyre ABSOLUTE MENACES together, the luckiest girl in the world addicted to adrenaline and thrills? with the most deranged "who gives a shit" mafia guy who does whatever he wants?

they'd be playing an extreme version of buckshot roulette together, they'd ruin the economy together just bc its funny. they dont know each other's full names. they hang out and bitch about life together. they dont care abt their respective life stories. they're the first person they call when they're bored. they've been in many many life threatening situations. they dont know each others favorite colors

do you see my vision!!!

#not a prompt #reverse 1999 #reverse: 1999 #i was going to try and add tennant to the whole mix at the end but #i dont like mixing tennant and pavia together anymore bc of an artist's portrayal of them #its just a squick of mine but eh

finally finished the refs for those two 2hnb characters i kind of hinted at working on in one of my posts (unlike like 90% of all my other terraria ocs these guys aren’t based off of player characters at all !)

more about em below:

EMBER:

she’s the demon assigned to watch over (and torture) roy while he’s in hell. thing is she Really Doesn’t Like making sure he’s Suffering properly or whatever (and just doing her job in general). shes like the landlord of the ruined house he lives in and if he doesn’t pay rent in time he gets subjected to One Billion Unholy Tridents being thrown at him by ember. also shes the first terrar oc of mine that’s based off of an enemy (da red devil enemy in particular!)

LADY:

funny lady that’s blessed with eternal luck! she doesn’t really like her luck powers though since nothing really bad ever happens to her. the most she can do with her insane luck (other than like. win lottery tickets) is to mess with people in really exaggerated/almost cartoony ways since interacting with anything always results in things going (mostly) her way. because of that, she ended up scamming a demon which resulted in her being punished in hell. she really doesn’t care though since its like the closest thing to something exciting happening to her lol

now she hangs out at a casino in hell where she continues to mess with demons for fun. she puts up this sexy femme fatal kinda character to lure people in and catch them off guard when she shoots them with her (probably stolen) coin gun that’s runs on all the money she’s won from slot machines, gambling, etc. then she like steals their wallets or something idk

shes was originally themed after the whole luck mechanic in terraria but im now realizing shes not that connected to it anymore.. listen man i just took one look at the luck page on the wiki that had like. Math??? on it and felt like making an oc

full name is lady fortune (though that’s just an alias.. haven’t figured out what her real name is yet)

roy has a HUGE crush on her and she absolutely despises him because of that

somewhat enemies with ember. ember sees lady has a real big nuisance while lady thinks its fun to mess w ember lol

if you’ve actually taken the time to read all of this congrats! as a reward here’s lady’s inspo playlist (it has a lot of jazz in it)

#perry art #terraria #terraria oc #ember (oc)#lady (oc)#im gonna be real with you here i kind of don’t like embers design that much (im also not super satisfied with her name)#but ehhh ill probably get used to it #I think its bc she’s sooo out of place when compared to my other ocs (nonhuman + light hair + name that has more than 4 letters)#but i don’t even consider her part of the main cast shes more of a side character/minor antag #arguably lady would fit in more w all my main guys and im ok w that #she’s like. More Important than ember anyways I think

A oneshot character study of Husk based on one line from the pilot, focusing on if he were arospec. Cross-posted on here under the cut!

i lost the ability to love years ago

In life, Husk had only felt anything that could lead to a romance twice.

The first was when he was young and foolish. He’d had a few close friends. It began with lust, attraction, fascination. He caught himself staring, wondering over card games. He began fantasizing about a future the two would spend together. He’d done so many things he hadn’t cared for just to spend more time together. Looking back, he’d sometimes chuckle at how much money he’d lost- he could never keep his poker face.

He’d considered asking his friend out. He’d been ready to make a move, but life got in the way. The two drifted apart. Eventually, Husk’s feelings faded.

For a long time, he thought he’d blown his only chance. Sure, soulmates were a corny thing to believe in- but he hadn’t felt anything like that again for so long after that. What other conclusion was he supposed to draw?

The second time was for the woman he would one day marry. He worked in his family’s casino; she was a showgirl. He’d do magic tricks of one kind and she’d do another, and they’d both get the money off of someone or other. The two would meet up for drinks after their shifts every now and then. It started with physical attraction- she was gorgeous, who wouldn’t admire her? As time went on, and as he got to know her, he admired her sarcastic sense of humor, her jaded attitude, her creativity, her wit, even her ability to match him drink for drink.

He pursued her the conventional way. They’d gotten married in the deserts, because they didn’t want a Vegas wedding- what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas, and as objectively false as the saying was, the location choice was about the sentiment- he wanted them to be a pair everywhere, forever. He’d briefly tried to become a stage magician, and while the career didn’t pan out, she had a genuine admiration for his skill. He’d eventually settled in Vegas and the two ran the casino together. They had a child, and it dawned on Husk one day that somehow, he’d ended up with a perfectly conventional life despite being a casino owner in Vegas.

Romance always struck Husk as odd. The idea of love at first sight was so popular, but Husk had always understood a difference between lust and romantic potential, and the latter never had anything to do with what he found at first sight. His friends would all laugh and call him a cynical bastard, and eventually, that’s how he saw himself. The same as everyone else, just a bit cynical about the whole romance thing.

She’d died of illness. It was a slow death, and she deserved better. He never remarried. He’d just maintained the casino his family had left him with his child and grew his wealth. He died of liver failure as an old man. It had been a miracle that it hadn’t happened sooner.

When he never found her, he knew in his gut that his wife had gone to Heaven. He was glad. As the years passed, Husk realized that his kid had also gone to heaven, whenever they’d died. Husk himself had gone to Hell. This wasn’t a surprise- he’d spent his life scamming people out of their money to accumulate his own wealth. He missed those two like they were a beating heart that’d been ripped from his chest, but more than that, he was relieved that the two most important people to him hadn’t gone where he did.

He opened up a new casino in Hell. It was scarily successful- so many souls were willing to gamble it all. On some level, he could understand why- they were in Hell. They didn’t exactly have much left to lose. He hadn’t even intended to become an overlord, but people kept betting them when they’d ran low on cash, and it was shockingly easy to just write a few clauses that the souls they gained at the casino would go back to Husk. The more souls he had, the bigger the casino got. The bigger the casino got, the more desperate sinners flooded in, ready and willing to bet even their soul for a chance of winning it big. The more power he amassed, the more he wanted more. The more he wanted, the more risks he’d take to get it. At some point, because he’d been on such a lucky streak, he began to view himself as untouchable.

Every demon knows that there are seven rings in Hell for the seven deadly sins. Pride, wrath, greed, lust, envy, sloth, and gluttony. In the end, it could’ve been greed, gluttony, or pride that was Husk’s downfall.

In the end, it didn’t actually matter which of the three it was.

He’d gambled. He’d lost. He’d bet his souls. He’d lost those too. He ran out of things to bet, and bet his soul. He’d never imagine he’d lose this badly. He should’ve cut his losses early on. He lost his soul and everything he’d built the entire time that he’d been in this pit.

The irony wasn’t lost on him that his downfall was the same way he’d screwed over so many sinners. It wouldn’t surprise him if that’s why the radio demon chose this specific method of taking down another overlord.

He quickly found himself as the radio demon’s favorite pet, as much as Husk despised it when he would use that term. The overlord thought flaunting the fact that he owned husk was fun in some sick kind of way. Husk found himself constantly needing a drink to cope with where his afterlife had gone- a habit that the radio demon picked up on. Suddenly, Husk was always around alcohol, always growing more dependent, always looking for the solutions to his problems at the bottom of a bottle.

He sometimes wondered if losing his soul meant he’d lost his ability to love. Sure, it was always rare. Probably rarer than any of his friends in life had felt such things, but everyone was different. Still, one day it had finally occurred to Husk that he hadn’t felt any kind of romantic attraction in decades. Just one more thing Alastor had taken from him. He chose to ignore that he hadn’t felt anything like that before he lost his soul. Plenty of souls down here were in relationships. Clearly, Husk wouldn’t have lost his capacity for romance when he died, so he must have lost it in that game of poker. Overlords affected the souls they owned in ways that were hard to understand at times, it wasn’t beyond reason to assume this could be a side effect.

Husk’s gambling only got worse after he gambled away his soul. He was the misguided soul with nothing to lose. Being at rock bottom meant he had everything to gain. His skill with poker hadn’t dissipated, and he’d make enough money to buy himself something nice every now and then.

The radio demon hated it when Husk was on a winning streak. Every time he’d start to get back a little bit of what he used to have, it’d all be lost again. The radio demon was always there, ready to remind Husk of his place.

If he ever wrote a memoir, he’d call it Husk: The Modern Sisyphus.

One day, the radio demon just. Disappeared. He stopped calling Husk, stopped having Husk do odd jobs, stopped being in Husk’s life. He could still feel the heavy, cold weight of the green chain around his neck, weighing down his every step. Husk still couldn’t go back to his old power. But the sinner who’d given those orders had vanished. It hadn’t taken him very long to figure out that Alastor had made a deal of some sort, and probably had to stay away for some reason or another.

Husk had started doing his stage magic again- it felt a little ridiculous in a place with actual magic, but his old heart still had a passion for these silly tricks.

Of course, the radio demon didn’t stay gone. Nothing good that happened to Husk could be permanent, not in Hell. In the blink of an eye, after seven years of peace, he was whipped from his latest game of poker and stuck bartending for some failing hotel. That was where he’d met Angel Dust.

Husk was attracted to the man. Of course he was. But Husk had never been one to think with his dick over his brain, and his brain told him that the spider was just a glitter and show with no proof of substance underneath. Husk didn’t let himself get flustered by the flirting. He had a perfect poker face, it was easy for him to identify someone else’s mask.

Husk thought Angel Dust was attractive. More than that, Husk thought Angel Dust was annoying. Until Husk finally got him to open up. Suddenly, it was like Angel was a prism that had just been exposed to sunlight, and Husk was seeing the hidden beauty that’d before been just out of reach.

Husk had thought selling his soul had cost him his ability to love, until a third person finally awoke those dormant romantic feelings in his heart. If he’d known about modern day labels, he likely would’ve identified as somewhere on the aromantic spectrum. Instead, he'd just accepted romantic attraction as something rare, and Husk moved on with his miserable afterlife.

hiii, i recently started following you and only started watching f1 a few weeks ago. I saw in one of your new posts you answered someone talking about charles dating Charlotte whose an influencer but you also mentioned his ex?? did something bad happen?

hi bestie welcome lol!!! i hope you’ve been enjoying it so far unless you’re Ferrari fan then L in the chat for us lol!!! okay tea below the cut i think i got everything. also all of the asks are tagged with #tea time 🫖 and you can scroll through & see it all!!

Recap:

Giada was Charles’ gf for 4 years (met through school) she was still with him when he got signed for Ferrari (2016) Giada’s friend (speculation of if they were friends or best friends still going on) was Charlotte. They did hang out a bit and were always on each others Insta stories but not consecutively but they did portray online as very close. Also Giada was very close with all the Leclerc family, she would attend holidays/hang with his brothers/ and was close with his mom (or got along with her well)

Then one day Giada posted on insta “Charles broke up with me to focus on his Ferrari career” on Instagram.

TWO WEEKS later Charlotte & Charles become insta official!!! so there’s speculation of cheating either physically or emotionally. So Giada looses a best friend and her boyfriend. And clearly the reasoning Charles gave Giada was not the truth because if he had to focus on his career then why get a new gf two weeks later & why is it one of her friends??? There’s speculation Charles maybe cannot be single [x] this tik Tok is his birth chart break down (if you’re into that) but it basically says “he will be a bachelor for a long time” but that can present in different ways so my take is he needs someone like a gf but doesn’t need to be all in, just a space filler if you will. Also no hate to Charles he’s literally my love. Also now when Charlotte goes on holidays with the families the pap pictures (which people believe Charlotte calls the paps or they both do lol to get photos together) but the photos always look awk & like Charlotte isn’t close with the family like Giada was.

Now Charlotte tea:

She has scammed people by selling alliexpress (a knock of online store) jewelry sets at real jewelry prices. She currently has her Etsy shop back up & reviews continue to say “items not like pictured”

She also will post ads & promotes herself right when Charles wins races so she has the most opportunity for reach & views. Exhibit A There is also a theory she’s a tax evader lol cause her father works for (may own not for sure) hotels//casinos in Monte Carlo which happens to be a place many wealthy people can get away with tax evasion but that’s her family so she may not be the one doing it lol.

And lastly TW!Weight talk TW!food Charlotte has also upset many of her followers (she also has a large amount of young gals following her) about the way she talks about “all the weight I’ve lost” or sharing a “what I eat in a day” that shows unhealthy eating habits. Nothing is wrong with posting these things or speaking about weight loss but the way she goes about it has the connotation of being better because of the changes not about being healthy.

Giada update/tea:

I’ve recently found out Giada has interesting (to say the least) family members (Her cousin) have been described as hateful and have said things publicly that they should have not. [X] here is a link to an old ask where someone explains it all perfectly!! Also she now has a new boyfriend they seem very happy together BUT he follows Charles & Charlotte on Insta & it is speculated they have had to be in the same room with Charles and Charlotte at hang outs (oh to be a fly on the wall for that lol) Giada has also been accused or speculated for having misogynistic views.

In conclusion:

There has also been issues with Charlotte copying if you will multiple things about Giada. Like similar dresses for events & such. But people say it’s become they have the same stylist or now Charlotte has Giada old stylist (Giada left, Charlotte right)

Tik toks w/ photos of Giada/Charlotte/Charles :

[X]

[X] this one is my fav Charlotte meme lol

yooo it’s ur weeb friend!!

lmao so asmo got banned from peru (and probably greece after the incident with helen BUT that’s water under the bridge) and levi got banned from japan for being too cringe-fail (the americans are already enough, NO MORE) but what about the others?

i feel like beel got banned from ireland after causing the great potato famine and from italy after eating all the pasta in the entire country once…

mammon got banned from vegas FOR SURE for causing a scene (not a country BUT he’s been banned from every casino in the US, and steadily working his way through canada and europe (starting with england) he’s making progress…

lucifer got banned from italy also for the vatican city incident. he wanted to see it cause he’d heard so much about it. no one is allowed to talk about it…but the brothers will tell you about it later if you want to know.

belphie and diavolo got banned from all of africa because due to a mix up they got blamed for spreading the sleeping sickness and malaria respectively (they didn’t actually do it but can’t seem to escape the allegations)

i think solomon got banned from mexico and all of south america and is the cause behind a lot of the superstitions based on devils/the occult there. people run from him in fear. he claims to not know why but you know there’s a reason. you can try to ask someone but they’re all too busy fleeing in terror.

barbatos claims he got banned from russia and china. no one knows why, not even diavolo. it’s one of the mysteries that he’s very secretive about, but legend has it that it’s related to something he did before he joined forces with diavolo.

i also think asmo got banned from india and some regions of france as well as various other european countries like spain and scotland but the stories behind those pretty much revolve around a party, drinking, and members of nobility. and they’re usually so long and crazy and asmo is always insistent he did nothing wrong and will leave out parts of the story to make himself sound good BUT if you’re a real history buff you can usually sus out what actually happened. or get him drunk. he always has loose lips when he drinks.

satan got banned from the americas (specifically north america) due to his rebellious streak/temper tantrum days resulting in the satanic panic. mostly caused by americans being rude and making him angry. he’s also a basis for a lot of mexico/south american superstition, though somehow…not as much as solomon?

just my silly lil ideas i wanted to share! what are your thoughts?? 🤔🤔🤔

Hello there, my friend!!

al;dskjfasdlksfj Beel causing the potato famine looool!

I definitely think they all have the potential to get banned for causing specific issues. Definitely Beel eating all of everything, Mammon causing trouble at casinos, and Asmo just getting drunk and partying too much.

I also think Mammon would be banned for doing something like insurance fraud. I don't know why but that just seems like something he'd get himself into. Or maybe it turns out he's the mastermind behind all the internet email scams asking you to send them thousands of dollars.

I think Lucifer has to be extra careful because uh... he's Lucifer. You would think he'd be banned from the Vatican before he ever even showed up there. Satan, too. Just stay away from religious locations when the religion in question considers you to be the source of evil, okay?? Though I would absolutely demand the story from the other brothers about the incident lol.

Okay see I headcanon Solomon spent a significant amount of time in the southwestern US just because he's always wearing that bolo tie lol. So I love the idea that he was also in Mexico and South America, just being the menace he always is. In the Devildom, the stuff he does isn't too weird, but can you imagine normal people in the human world encountering him and all his weird experiments? And if he was actually covered in pacts marks that look like demonic sigils? I have no doubt that he would be the source of years worth of superstitions.

I LOVE all ideas where Satan is the cause of any kind of Satantic activity anywhere. Like the Satanic panic was so ridiculous, but I love the idea of him causing it just by being angry about rude people.

I do think Satan could also have been banned from Japan - most specifically, Tashirojima where the cat population far surpasses that of the human one. Possibly also Hydra Island in Greece, which is another island known for its high cat population. I just think eventually they'd be like listen we appreciate how much you love the cats, but you need to leave now lol.

All of this seems more than enough to get any of them banned from the various human world locations they've caused trouble in. It's so funny to think about them running rampant in the human world. Lucifer out here probably acting like he'd never get banned, but he's caused his fair amount of problems, too.

#seriously hilarious #MC finds out about it all over time and is just like... that was YOU #I should've known lol #obey me #obey me nightbringer #anon asks #misc answers

Been replaying Pre-Sequal for the past few days (along with Pikmin 4) and decided to do post-BL3 refs for the Pre-Sequal vault hunters, or at least the ones still alive (yes Aurelia is still alive)

Also unrelated, I still need a name for this au. I'm thinking about calling it Siren's Songs but I'm still debating on that.

Athena

Her and Sprigs have been able to live well financially so Athena doesn't do as many odd jobs, but still does the occasional bounty. (better than selling kebobs)

She also works alongside Sprigs at her black market. (mainly to go after people who tried to scam them)

Claptrap

Starting to become worse for where, a lot of his new parts for repairs were from old Claptraps units.

Along with that he's starting to rust in some areas. (nothing but a little paint and some stickers would do the trick)

Has been reunited with his stair climbing wheel and became even more of an annoying menace.

Still refers to himself as General Claptrap.

Timothy

Still doesn't want to do anything involving that casino (or Jack in general) but Moxxi did offer him to work at her bar in Sanctuary lll.

Not as cowardly as before (like because of Jack's DNA) but still kinda pathetic.

(I kinda had fun with this design. Like I was trying to make him look like Jack's doppelganger but not Jack at the same time)

Him and Moxxi are still a thing. It was complicated at first but had gotten better once he started to not look like Jack.

Was finally able to get that bomb disarmed and removed. (thanks to Tannis and Zed)

Aurelia

What Borderlands 3 did to Aurelia should be a crime!!!!!! Like why?!?!?!?!?!?!

Acted as a spy for the Crimson Raiders so she could get intel from the C.O.V.

Troy still has a thing for her, but she's not interested and is creeped out by it. (it's gotten to the point where she straight up told him that she's a lesbian, not sugar coating what's so ever)

After the events of Pre-Sequal, Aurelia doesn't find hunting animals near extinction as fun as it used to be.

Her and Alistair's relationship is........ complicated, but they are starting to tolerate each other, so there's that.......

Still kind of a bitch, but it's mostly for show. (I mean in pre-sequal she says she's evil but even she has standards)

Has suffered frostbite on both fingers and toes, likely due to cryo usage.

Her design (especially the frostbite detail) were inspired by @wainwrightjakobshammerlock post-BL3 Aurelia design.

#borderlands #borderlands the pre sequel #athena the gladiator #claptrap the fragtrap #timothy lawrence #timothy the doppelganger #aurelia hammerlock #aurelia the baroness #post bl3 #my art #but seriously aurelia really deserves better #like the writers just straight up ignore her development in pre-sequal #siren song (post-bl3)

Hi again ! Thank you for the scenario ! I have another for you

Yuu decided to open a restaurant like Azul but on the theme of different country of his world of course they thretened Crowly 😏

Ace is the server wearing a beautiful chinese dress with pants

Deuce is the one who show the customers where to seat and show them the menu and greet them he is wearing a French suit

Sebek and Jack are the chefs who make food from Yuu world they are wearing an Italy uniforme

Otho made some robots as bodygards and count money

There is a VIP room for important/famous (if the dorm leader are famous like Vil or Leona or Kalimor Malleus ) people :

Epel is the DJ there he is wearing a colorful top and shorts and some accessoires the songs are from Yuu world Everytie a dorm leader enter he plays a sad song about them

Ex : Vil entered the VIP room and Epel put the Song Pill diet from Melanie Martinez

Grim make some fires and make Epel cool

And finally Yuu have their own office and make deals without scams

By the way there no one in monstro lounge Azul is broke now 😂

Yeah. Azul wasn't happy about the no one coming to Monstro Lounge but Yuu just let him make sure all of the restaurants are in tip top shape or he'll never have anyone come to his Lounge again.

They let all the boy's pick out what different outfits they wanted and honestly they looked amazing in them! With Ace he is wearing a traditional Chinese dress with pants underneath so it didn't look like cultural appreciation.

They got a blue French suit for Deuce that complemented his eyes.

I like the idea of Sebek and Jack doubling as bodyguards and chefs since they do all the heavy lifting. But yeah the Italian suits are tailored to look amazing on them.

Ortho did make other robots with the help of Idia and also got Azul to make the people under his contracts to help pit too. Also people who lost big in the casino work there too to get out of their debt.

The VIP room is hidden so unless your invited in by Yuu or the Dormheads you'll never find it. Vil helped decorate it to make it look like one's that he has visited. Yuu just gave him money and told him basic things they need like soft couches for Leona, Music boxes for Kalim, A Gargoyle for Malleus bc why not, Riddle can have some books there, Vil can have anything he wants, Idia will lots of tech and Security cameras he can watch, Azul can do contracts there if he wants but they are run by Yuu first.

Epel is allowed to wear anything he wants since Yuu dosen't really care what their workers wear as long as they get money piling in. But yeah Vil has heart attacks by half of them.

He's also a little shit by having control over the music. He does play Pill diet when Vil comes, Sunflower when Kalim comes, Bring the Lion out when Leona comes, You should see me in a crown with Riddle, Azul is cry baby, Idia is boy in the bubble, Malleus it's Discord.

He likes making the Dormheads listen to songs he thinks fits them. Grim does the big fires when Epel DJ's on Halloween.

#casino owner au #gambling yuu #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland x reader #twisted wonderland yuu #Epel: *puts song in that reminds them of trauma*#dormheads: *war flashbacks*

Headcanon dump, exclusive to the Game universe:

Werner Werman is an unstable, violence fanatic mouse who tried get in the military in an ongoing war between rodents and felines, but his attempt was rejected as he didn't meet the requirements. Maybe he went to the Inkwell Isles trying to find an easier way to get into any conflict at all.

He needed to go to war because it was the only way he could satisfy his hunger to kill and commit violence without being punished for it, he actually was confident that he would turn into a war hero and that the military was missing out. However, because of his upbringing, he used the excuse of patriotism to rodents as motivation, it even got to the point of believing this was his true reason.

As a last resort to participate in the war, he built a giant cat robot to wreack havoc around mice populations. In his mind, this was a twisted way of actually helping his kin, they would need to enlist more rodents to battle, and that's when he, the war hero and untapped potential, would manage to get in. (Maybe he even took the chance to apply his own justice, assaulting prisons or places he deemed corrupted, using the robotic cat to kill all rodents he saw as criminal or evil while also enjoying the chaos he caused)

I'm still not sure when he would reach out to the Devil, but he would go to the casino to speak to him after hearing rumours (He never went to the casino before, as all his addictions were somewhere else). I don't know if he goes to learn to make the robotic cat (Maybe to learn to build machinery in general) or to turn into a war hero quicker, but... I got two options for the results of this.

1) Thanks to selling his soul (and maybe also his plan with the cat) he finally is among the troups, although soldiers greatly doubt the mouse's and the recruiter's sanity when seeing Werman being a freaking lunatic, building crazy machines and just charging into battle with way too much confidence, as well as treating the rest as inferior.

Or.

2) The Devil just gives him the illusion of being a war hero by taking advantage of Werner's poor and vague wording (That has nothing to do with his accent, btw, I see Devil as capable of understanding almost any language so he and Werman can perfectly speak to each other in German). To do that, he gives the mouse medals and stuff like that through other mediators so that Werman doesn't realise about the scam, and the mouse just happily goes home, feeding more on his delusions. He even recieves fake letters from supossed military authorities, requesting his inventions and some services made to make him go around, destroy things and kill more to bring more souls to hell. Now he was part of the Devil's machine without realising.

Why is he now a debtor? Maybe he realised about the scam and got angry at the Devil, stealing the soul contract through violent ways. And if he got into the military, he could have been finally kicked out after everyone realised that having him there was a bad idea, he gets angry at the Devil because the big guy couldn't keep him in (Because of course this wasn't Werman's fault- pfff) and steals the contract through violent ways.

Now he doesn't come out of the hole in the wall he calls home, although saying he isn't scared of the Devil and that he would beat him up any day (He wouldn't).

Or maybe-

Headcanon 2: The dude is just an actual war vet who dealt with the Devil to make a mechanical cat that worked as a guard to the house because he doesn't like to have other mice around in his retirement. Tho idk why he'd turn into a debtor but this option is funny. (Thanks random YouTube comment by Shiru Otakuno for the idea of the cat as a guard dog)

#Choose your headcanon #Long ansgty edgy lunatic with a lot of backround and motivation #Or tired vet who just wants to be left alone and chill #I love both #werner werman #cuphead #cuphead headcanons #headcanon #my shit #And I know the second headcanon contradicts actual canon #But I just found it funny

so question about your… bull oc(i can’t guess animals send help), is his casino rigged?

follow up question, how often would he scam people and yokai if that were true?

follow up to the follow up, how often has he messed with the turtles and how did it happen?

NONO you’re okay!

He’s a ram/bighorn sheep! I probably should’ve specified, haha! /gen/nm

Sooo basically, he’s the manager of the casino at the Grand Nexus Hotel! It’s absolutely rigged but not by his hand, haha! People will get scammed there often, but the money mainly goes to Big Mama so it really doesn’t benefit him!

He’s actually a really nice guy but he just takes his job super seriously— he has to show his daughter a good work ethic and responsibility !!

The way I’m gonna answer the last question may be a bit cringe since he’s just an oc, but if he was in the show, I’d think he’d meet the turtles by one of them (probably Leo or maybe even Splinter?) getting into the casino and losing a game with no money to pay it off, so they have to keep betting and gambling and it just becomes a whole thing— after that, I’d say he’s quick to mess with and be really hostile around the turtle bros !

I hope this answers your questions well ! I love getting questions like these, haha! /gen

His name is also Lorenzo!

Boardbot OCs

I thought about sharing these ideas for my evil Boardbot OCs cause of how much destruction they would inflict on Toontown through ownership of shares and other awful schemes. Money and power go hand in hand.

Lots of text down below for my Boardbot group

Peyton Diesel (Level 5 exe. Con Artist)

Enjoys selling foraged artwork and NFTs on the free market like the true cryptobro he is. He even has the personality of one (help us all). Has shares related to several advertising companies producing propaganda that encourages capitalistic ideals and fighting against toons to ensure C.O.G.S. Inc. prospers.

Wears a black, front-facing cap with the words, “Cogsupeme” on the front panel. Lacks any trace of facial hair.

Pat Tannum (Level 6 exe. Connoisseur)

Snobby and rude to anyone of the lower class. They own rare luxuries that’s been harvesting from really shady sources (poaching, illegal mining, etc.). Owns a company that’s dedicated to destroying vast acres of land within Toontown to harvest as much valuable metals and minerals as possible.

Dons a top hat made from the a rare species of bearacuda and has a curled up mustache.

Dubiel Ornutheen (Level 7 exe. Swindler)

She gets a kick out of gambling some of a company’s assets on games like poker and blackjack to spend it all on digital items on their freenium mobile games. Has shares in a major casino brand and a game company that is big on microtransactions and loot boxes.

Wears a pair of black, leather gloves always and has a short, wavy mustache.

Endre Mediary (Level 8 exe. Middleman)

Thinks every cog is just as gullible and stupid as a toon. He creates the perfect scam by hoarding a variety of essential items to create an artificial shortage to where buyers will resort to pay a high distribution fee. Owns shares in his distribution business and a line of semitrucks dedicated to importing and exporting.

Wears a black, trilby hat with one face on each side that won’t stop smiling even if they’re angry.

Nero Tolson (Level 9 exe. Toxic Manager)

They’re a big lover of all things pollution and the suffering of others (toons and cogs alike) while also consuming heaping doses of dangerous liquids. Helps to fund the production of highly toxic chemicals, nuclear power plants, and science experiments that have dubious practices involved.

Has two different sets of heads they like to change into. One is the default, toxic waste container head while the other is a skull model with green, shiny optics.

Anno Speer (Level 12 exe. Magnate)

She claims to have ownership of the entire sky and will do anything to destroy its pristine condition for expansion and profit. Oversees a large portion of the aviation that occurs within C.O.G.S. Inc along with plans to develop airborne sectors for economic and transport purposes.

Head resembles that of the common black hawk.

Casper Junit (Level 15 exe. Big Fish)

He lives large and in charge of depleting the local waters of every single creature and resource deep within. Owns a commercial fishing and offshore fracking company that already has several, working facilities across Barnacle Boatyard.

Has the head of an Atlantic bluefin tuna with muted colors.

Conn Truckshone (Level 20 exe. Head Honcho)

Is the main overseer of the entire board group and rules with fists made of high-grade titanium. Owns a company dedicated to building and maintaining infrastructure across various regions outside of Toontown.

Entire body is made out of high-grade metals with a shiny, chrome head to boot.

@object-fan-account u have no idea what u have just asked 4

SO BASICALLY-

Poker Card owns a casino, lotta people come around, he usually ends up scamming a good amount of them. One day some guy walks in holding a particular object - a shiny staff. He’s immediately intrigued, and after a bit of persuasive talking, gets the guy to play a game of poker, betting the staff. Obviously, Poker Card wins. Guy gets mad and leaves, but not before swearing he’d chop Poker Card in half next time he sees him.

Poker Card’s pleased, thinks about maybe reselling it for a couple millions.

Accidentally uses it, strikes a bunch of funeral flower crowns with some sorta lightning. He's like ":0" and immediately makes it his top priority to store it somewhere safe. Little did he know, the lightning he struck the flower crowns with was a sort of bridge for an angel to posses the flower crowns, like a sort of vessel. That's when Suriel appears

Suriel is limited by the form, so he has to conform to their laws of the universe. I.e can't transcend time and space, can't bend the laws of physics, etc. Because of that, Suriel is also stuck in their world. The only way he'd be able to go back is through the staff again.

After a few days, Poker Card managed to ship the staff someplace far away, in a bunker.

One night he gets caught my Suriel on an alleyway. Sees the guy that came in before, the guy who had the staff, chopped in half next to him. Suriel tries to smite him, realises he's no good dead because he still needs to get to the staff. Asks Poker Card where it is, Poker Card politely tells him to fuck off, then Suriel tries to smite him again.

Poker Card escapes, runs to Tarot Card.

Because Poker Card scams so many people all the time, a lot of them who would try to hurt or even kill him. He usually goes to Tarot Card to ask for "favours"; to kill them since Tarot Card isn't scared to tangle with black magic and play with death.

Tarot Card agrees. Tries to do it. Gets blasted with holy radiance. Goes back to Poker Card like "dude, you just asked me to kill an ANGEL wtf" "But can you still do it?" "This is way beyond my capabilities, you're on your own now"

Poker Card is obviously like "shit, I got on an angel's hitlist now"

Next day, he packs his bags to run away, but then Suriel comes around holding the sword at Tarot Card and demanding he'd tell his where the staff is. Poker Cards like "wtf you're an angel aren't you supposed to protect us or something" "I'm an arch angel and it's not MY job to protect you, I can and will smite him and be done with this"

At last they come to an agreement, and Poker Card calls the guys who took care of shipping the staff, telling them to send it back, but then they're like "yea we got ambushed by someone on the way, the staff was stolen" "THE STAFF WAS STOLEN?"

Immediately, Tarot Card makes an attempt at escape. He's still a magician and has gotten out of tricky situations before. He makes a distraction, which also give Poker Card an opportunity to run. Suriel can't go after both of them, tries to get Tarot Card first since he's closer, loose sight of him, and by that time Poker Card was also gone.

Poker Card gets on the first train he catches, and rides till the very last stop. The next few days he spends trying to get as far away as possible, ends up crossing the border to another country. He stops at a hotel to catch his breath and regain his composure. By that point he thinks he's pretty safe. He even tried to cover all his tracks and remain as anonymous as possible.

Unfortunately, Suriel still finds him. Pins him down and is like "you can't run away now" and Poker Card's like "wtf how did you find me, I covered all of my tracks" "I'm physically limited and I can't fly to you in a second like I usually would, I but i can still sense your soul. Trying to hide will never work". Poker Card snaps and is like "why would you even need me anymore, the staff was stolen, I can't tell you where it is anymore" but Suriel's like "you're gonna take me to the last place it was, and we'll start searching from there" "WHY would you bring me with you wtf" "You know your way around better, I haven't visited earth since the Babylon era" "but you can still use your magic soul powers" "tried to, didn't work. The person is warded"

In the end Poker Card agrees to come, but only because he has no other way out. From that point on, it's a wild goose chase, trying to pin down where the staff is and who might've stolen it.

That was most of the tense stuff. It gets more slower and laid back from then on. They keeps traveling around, Poker Card tries to get used it, and Suriel learns about their cultures.

Aaand yeah. That's about as far as the story goes.

#you can tell exactly where i took inspiration from when making this #^what 11 seasons of supernatural does to an object show obsessed mf #rambles
