Xero
The room was perfect and he hated it. Everything about the place would have been something that he would have personally done himself, only except it was someone distinctively different. All around was the signature blue lighting, hexagonal meshed wall, neon lights and circuits permeating the corners. The main centre was simply an ultra-modern seating style, white chairs that lightly hovered in place, overhead lights pulsing as the moved. It was absolutely perfect, nothing could have been done to improve the place, and thatâ why he loathed it so much.
There had to be no way Evangeline got everything, right? Xero nudged one of the monitors slightly to the left to see if that would fit better. He stepped back to survey the place again. Not even two seconds later, OCD kicked in and Xero shoved the object back in its original place. It was too bloody much, the week couldnât possibly pass by faster.
Everyone was already at the cafe. Xero chose to manifest from the mounted screen with 666 News morning edition playing. Hoping down, readjusting a few settings on his personal mainframe before vaulting the counter to drain a coffee machine dry of its electricity. The other demons could be conversing for all he cared, Xero stayed his distance. Technically the activities were optional.

I was reading some notes I took over my time here as Malcolm join me. I gave him a friendly smile. âGood morningâ I greeted him before shaking my head. âI havenât noticed anything like an announcement yetâ I said. âBut I might have missed it, not sureâ I chuckle. âI just hope for once things stay in tact with him hereâ I said. I didnât want to be rude or anything but something about Xero just ruffled my fur the wrong way.

âFunny, usually Eva is already using her shadows to protect her voice. I suppose I didnât miss much then.â Malcolm relaxed slightly after that. Then again, Eva was talking to Toothfairy, she could be explaining the rules, they could be talking about literally anything else. At least Cerys was in the same circle as him in terms of information.
Cerysâ next mention of a particular demon did send Malcolm glancing in that direction. Out of all the unnerving things here, waking up to this sight was certainly something he never anticipated. âItâs more of hoping that things stay intact,â Malcolm commented, âWeâd be lucky if they did. I generally like staying positive but thisâŚâ he trailed off as Xero successfully scraped the machine he was working on, âwell, the senior staff will definitely have more on their hands.â
âBut enough of the negative, have you had anything to eat yet?â

âYou donât need to be the biggest eater, but breakfast is an important meal. Skipping meals, in general, is unhealthy unless you arenât feeling well.â He looked back at her, a flicker of concern in his eyes.
âBesides that, I would go for the pancakes. Blueberry ones with syrup specifically. Call it clichĂŠ for being the icon on my flag, but it does taste amazing here.â

âDonât worry, its not like thatâ I chuckle with a grin. âNormally I just take a bit of fruit or something smallâ I explain. âPancakes huh⌠Welp youâre the expert out of us two, so Iâll believe youâ I chuckle. âDo you have a slight idea what Eva has planned?â I ask.

Evangeline Le Fay. I Location: Hotel Lobby.
Suddenly Eva sensed a stronger power, She smirked and merged into the shadows. Swooping from door to door until Xeroâs stood proud and tall. She slid under the door and creeped up right behind him.
Suddenly she manifested but amplified her voice to a higher suit âBOO!â Evangeline yelled out as she watched Xero nearly fall over in panic.
âSo, How do you like the room Xero.â Evangeline stated plopping down on one of his hovering chairs, Granted she didnât like the texture but the room was nice even to a 20s fan like herself.
âI assume everything is to your liking?â She stated with a grin knowing sheâd outdone herself as she crossed her legs and summoned a cup of coffee from his dispenser.

Luscious awoke as soon as the sun hit her skin, filling her with a burst of energy. As her plant cells worked overtime, making glucose to nourish themselves and chlorophyll to keep themselves beautiful and radiant, the rest of her got ready to face the day. She put her hair into a voluminous half-bun and twisted the remaining loose vines into bouncy curls. Her dress (Imagine itâs green.) covered itself in velvety, dark moss and sprouted around the neckline and bottom hem with soft, fluffy golden flowers, and an extra wreath of the flowers entwined itself like a choker around her long, slender neck. She put one of the gold flowers in her hair before heading downstairs to the lobby, where she reclined, notebook in hand, and began planning out a garden for the Hotel.

As the rays of the sun penetrated through the curtains and illuminated the room, Devin stretched his limbs and opened his eyes with a yawn. The day was sunny and nice. He got down from the bed and went into the bathroom taking off the clothes from his muscular and strong torso and stood under the shower. After 15 minutes, Devin came out with only a towel wrapping around his waist and other one wiping the water droplets rolling down by his abs. He changed into an outfit and came out of his suite craving for bubble tea. He straight went into the cafĂŠ, bought a bubble tea and stepped into the lobby.
The gorgeously seĂy girl from last night who introduced herself as Evangelineâs bestie was in the lobby holding a notebook, a pencil between the plump lips. Devin was checking out how beautifully the green dress of hers covered her booty. Oh damn⌠- he thought. Devinâs lips curled up into an impressed smirk. He approached to her, leaning to her ears.
âGood morning to the gorgeous best friend of Evangelineâ, he whispered.

âOh!â
Sheâd been lost in her sketches, trying to decide between wysteria or climbing ivy, when someone suddenly whispered in her ear. She jumped and her hair vines lashed out, accidently whipping Devin across the face. âOh, Iâm sorry! Are you alright?â She asked him, cupping his face in her hands.

The lady jumped in surprise and her vines lashed out whipping Devinâs handsome face. If it were some disgusting guy, Devin surely would have been p*ssed and burnt those vines to ashes by now. But she was a girl, a beautiful girl. Devin fixed his hairs again and smirked. The hell he would be angry after she cupped his face.
Devin touched the small and soft hand sliding his fingers her wrist and wrapping them around it.
âNothing a soft touch of yours canât healâ, he winked, âIâm totally fineâ he added. âhave I scared you, lady? My apologiesâŚâ

Devin ran his fingers along her hands, holding her wrists firmly as she held his face. âNothing a soft touch of yours canât heal.â He flirted, winking at her. "Iâm totally fine. Have I scared you, Lady? My apologiesâŚâ
Sheâd always thought she was a sl*t, but this guy was encourageable. How long had they known each other? A day? If he wasnât so cute, she would have slapped him in the face again. She giggled and let go of his face, tucking a stray hair behind his ear. âEveryone needs a good scare once in a while.â She said. âDevin, is it? Can I help you?â

âIf I knew, Iâd probably tell you by now. I suppose a nice guessing game could replace this for the time being. Weâve seen enough of her activities to come up with something.â Evangeline was creative, but so far, everything had been outside. She naturally had an eye for anything vintage so locations like bars and theatres were given. They also happened to be blown up often.
"This may be really obvious, but maybe we head out to a speakeasy. The Red Room wasnât exactly anything that we want to repeat but it looks like that crisis has relatively been averted. Where did you think we were going today?

I think for a bit. âI would hope she learned her lesson by now and maybe sheâll try something more peaceful. maybe to the beach or forest would be interesting. I wouldnât be surprised if it was something like a boat trip or something eitherâ I say as I thought about what would suit Evaâs style of activities. âMy final answer would be the boat trip if I had to pick,â I said.

Xero
After recovering from the definite unwelcome entrance from Evangeline, Xero made a clear point to distinctively sidestep her future advances. Such childish antics should have been beyond her, for a demon who claimed to have âclassâ, she certainly teetered on the edge of being a mess. Carefully, Xero noticed her specific whereabouts while pacing across the room himself.
He didnât want her here, that was much was clear, but he also didnât want to be at the hotel. Everything was just a conundrum from the start, one that would hopefully play out, and then be something he would never have to think about again.
At the same time, Xero also couldnât just say that the room was terrible because it wasnât, but he also wasnât about to admit that.
âDonât you have some other place to be? Iâm sure the other lost souls residing here need some sort of guidance for todayâs planned activity.â

Devin also let go of her wrist, reluctantly.
âThatâs the real problem.â, Devin tilted his head a little, âYou know my name, I must be a wee bit famous around here, but I never caught your nameâ he said, âMaybe we can get to know each other?â he proposed

âConsidering how this is Hell, none of the places will ever be as nice.â No doubt the beaches were full of fire or some strange reimagining of water. One learned to get used to it and as time went on, everyone did forget what the real world was like. Until then, it was just a hint of longing for things to go back to normal.
âThough I think your ideas are quite a nice change for this place. Something relaxing, peaceful. A nice break from all the recent pandemonium. Iâm sure you could easily pitch that to Eva. Shall we head over to find her?â Perhaps location suggestions would work as well. As of now, Evangeline wasnât to be seen anywhere in the vicinity of the cafe though Malcolm could swear she was there earlier.

Evangeline raised an eyebrow to a pacing Xero, So much for that ego.
âSure, But their conversing. I want to learn more about you.â Evangeline asked curious as she patted a nearby seat.
âAnd please donât take this as a ploy.â Evangeline stated with an eye roll.
She then took a sip of the hot coffee and smiled.

I shrug. âI doubt itâs something that would survive here. The water would just evaporate, the trees would burn and die, and so I think a dessert is the closest thing youâre going to get to a âfieldâ, in that case,â I chuckle. âOnly plus sideâŚno snowâ I smile. âGosh, I hated snowâ I chuckle.

Devin let go of her wrists, allowing her to go back to her sketches. She watched him over the top of her paper as worry lines cut through his handsome, scuplted face. âWhatâs wrong, Sweet Pea?â She asked him.
âThatâs the real problem.â He said, with a cute little head tilt. âYou know my name⌠but I never caught your name.â âWell that is a shame.â She mused. âCall me Lushious. Or, you know, whenever you want to.â She quipped, winking at him.
âMaybe we can get to know each other?â Devin asked. âWhat a grand idea.â Luscious rose to her feet. âI was planning to do some landscaping today. You look like a big, strong man. Would you help me? If youâre not afraid of getting sweaty, that isâŚâ
