    Summary

    Alastor can admit, in the silence of his own head as he walks away from the first official overlord meeting since the Extermination Day that Wasn’t, that Charlie MIGHT have been right. He probably should have stayed home.

    Not that he’d tell the girl that under pain of torture - that kind of hand-wringing and fretting wasn’t the sort of thing that should be encouraged in anyone, least of all the Princess of Hell.

    The first time he meets the devil, Alastor is twenty-one years old.

    It is not the last time, though it does set the course for everything that follows.

    It is where it all begins.

    Summary

    Alastor heaves a long-suffering sigh. “Vox!” he greets. “What an unpleasant surprise.”

    “Alastor,” Vox acknowledges with just as much cheerful contempt. “How are you doing this Hellish morning, old pal?”

    “Up until ten seconds ago, absolutely fantastic!” Alastor glances at the proffered gift in Vox’s hands, mockery at the ready. “Really now, Vox, this is getting quite pathetic. How many times must I rebuff your advances for the point to stick in that flat screen of yours?”

    Said screen’s signal jams, displaying a glimpse of an error message, before Vox’s face reappears. “Charming as always, Al,” he says with a pinched smile. “But rest assured, these are not for you.”

    It is the beginning of something that may mean nothing, or may mean everything.

    Only time will tell.

    Summary

    Alastor makes it a grand total of thirteen days before collapsing in the lobby. It’s an abjectly humiliating experience for the split-second he’s cognizant of what’s happening before everything goes utterly black.

    In which Alastor returns to the hotel and an olive branch is offered over coffee. It’s all very unexceptional.
