Chapter Text
It was late at night in hell,Charlie was walking along the streets of the pride ring,not to far from the hotel. She needed a quick break from the hotel,with the amount of guests that have came to visit the hotel after the extermination was overwhelming,she was still happy sinners are starting to believe in redemption though,she just needed a walk out at night.
She sat down on a bench that was near her and looked up and the night sky,seeing heaven next to the Pentagrams moon. Suddenly,someone sat next to her,it was a man in a dark grey suit and black hair,he had a bright smile on his face that felt fake. He looked over at Charlie and smiled. "Hello dear,you're Charlie right?" The man said,Charlie nodded happily, *maybe he wants to join the hotel* she thought. He had a briefcase next to him and he picked it up,opening it on his lap,the briefcase had around 1k hellbucks and two square papers,one blue one red.
The man took the red and blue paper out of the briefcase and looked up at Charlie. "Would you like to make a deal with me?" The man said,holding the two papers in hand. Charlie looked back at the man with a confused look. "Your not some kind of overlord looking for my soul for power are you?" Charlie said in a suspicious tone of voice.
"Goodness no dear! I just want to play a quick game with you!" He said loudly standing up,gesturing her to stand up too. "This game is called *ddakji* and how to play is you put on paper one the floor." He said placing the blue paper on the floor "and throw the other piece of paper onto the paper on the floor,attempting to flip it." He said,throwing the red paper on the blue paper,successfully flipping the blue paper over. Charlie looked down and nodded slowly. "And if you manage to flip it over,I'll give you the 1k hellbucks in my briefcase." The man explained while picking up the blue paper and handing it to charlie.
"Ok,this looks easy" charlie said looking down at the paper,throwing her paper down at the red paper,successfully flipping it over first try. "Yes!" Charlie exclaimed happily,the man looked at her and went over to the briefcase,taking out the money and handing it to her. Charlie noticed something on top of the money,it was a business card with three shapes on it,a triangle and circle and a square. On the back it had a number on it.
"Call it if you want." The man said as he started walking away. "There's not many spots left." He said as he walked away. Charlie looked down at the business card again as she walked back to the hotel. She wondered what it was for. Was it for some kind of deal? Did he want to sponsor the hotel? She placed the business card in her pocket. When she walked back into the hotel she was met by vaggies worried face. "Babe where were you!?" Vaggie exclaimed in a worried tone of voice. Charlie looked at her and smiled. "Oh,I was just on a walk that's all,no need to worry vaggie." Charlie said reassuring vaggie,patting her back. Vaggie pitched the brigde of her nose,not in an annoyed way,she just does that alot. Vaggie and charlie start walking back to their room. Charlie sat on the bed taking the business card out of her pocket carefully and placed it on the nightstand.
A little while later charlie woke up,she looked to her right expecting to she vaggie but was met by and empty bed,she assumed vaggie went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Charlie looked over at the nightstand and picked up the business card she looked at the number on the back and remembered what the suited man said to her. *there's not many spots left* his voice repeated in her head until she gave in.
She took her phone out from the drawer on her nightstand and started failing the number. A voice answered her call. "If you'd like to participate in the games,please state your name and date of birth" the voice said on the other side of the line. Charlie thought about it for a minute and replied to the voice. "Charlie morningstar,February 23rd 1820" charlie replied in a groggy voice,since she had only woke up a few minutes ago. She waited for the voice to reply when she herd the call ended sound. She made a disoriented sound thinking all the spots were taken since hse called so late.
Then,she got a notification on her phone,it was from the number she called! The text had an image attached to it,the picture was a screenshot of voogle maps with a pinpoint on it,she then got a text from the number saying "the password is red light,green light,we await your arrival" charlie looked at the message,and wondered for a second,should she really do this? Could this be dangerous? Who was she kinding,she's the princess of hell! Daughter of lucifer fucking morningstar himself! She wouldn't be in danger!
She decided to go to the location on the screenshot,it wasn't far from the hotel luckily. She got up from the bed and put on her normal red suit. "Vaggie can you watch over the hotel for a while I'm going out!" She yelled over to the bathroom where she thought vaggie was.
She ran over to the door and opened it reminding herself to slow down a bit as she walks down the hall of the hotel down to the lobby of the hotel,there was no one down there yet,since it was late at night,since she didn't expect anyone down there.
She went down to the door and opens it ans closes it quietly,hoping not to wake any of the guests. She dug her hand into her pocket and pulled her phone out carefully,making sure she was going the right way. Luckily it was only around a ten minute walk,she looked around the place wondering where she was meant to go.
She looked over to her left and she met by a white van with a man in it,she couldn't see his face though,he had an odd mask on,it was black with a white square over it. She quickly walked over to the van and knocked on the window politely.
The window rolled down slowly,she could see the naked guy more clearly now,he was wearing a pink jumpsuit and a mask,what an odd thing to wear at this time of night.
"Password" the masked guy said in hand a second,in a somewhat demanding tone. Charlie looked at him with wide eyes as she remembered the password. "Ah! Um,red light green light!" She exclaimed happily. She heard the back of the van open as she looked over to where to noise was coming from.
"Get in." The masked man said,with that same demanding tone he had on before. Charlie looked back at the masked man and nodded happily,and saying thank you multiple times before getting in,shebwas met by something she was not expecting.
She was met by vaggie,angel dust and husk in the back of the van! "Guys!? What are you doing here!?" She exclaimed,but before she could get a reply from anyone,this gas was being sprayed into the back of the van. Making them tiredly,and slowly start passing out.
-
Charlie woke up hours,maybe even days later,in this huge room with hundreds of beds,those beds have sinners sleeping in them,with this green tracksuit on,charlie panicked,checking her clothes,realising she had the same tracksuit on,with a number on it,456,she must've been the last person to call the number,since she doesn't see anyone with a number higher then her.
She was looking around on her bed for a bit,when more people started to wake up,charlie realised vaggie was in the bed beside her,slowly waking up. "Vaggie! Vaggie! Wake up!" Charlie started shaking vaggie lightly waking her up faster. "'Mhh,what?" Vaggie replied groggily to charlie,slowly sitting up as she realised she didn't know where they were.
"Wai-wha- DÓNDE ESTAMOS!?" vaggie was freaking out,she checked her clothes as well,noticing her number,number 455,just one below Charlie.
There was more people waking up and getting out of their beds and walking around the area. Vaggie and charlie looking for angel and husk. Angel ran up behind them hugging charlie from behind. "Angel!" charlie exclaimed happily,she was happy her and vaggie had found angel. She looked down at his number,number 230,he must have joined way earlier. Charlie then slowly realised something. "Wait,did you guys play ddakji with that,guy in the suit?" Charlie questioned them,angel and vaggie looked over at charlie in shock,nodding their heads rapidly.
"He must've brought us here!" Angel dust yelled. But then there was this loud noise that echoed across the room,it was the door at the front of the room opening. Everyone turned around to look over at what was happening.
Seven of those masked men came out of the door,there was one infront,they had a square mask on,and the six behind him had circle masks.
The man with the square mask started talking "I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to you all." The masked man said,he sounded like a robot with they way he talked. He continued talking before anyone could speak up. "Over the next six days you will participate in six different games." The masked man explained. He then continued on. "Those who complete the six games will be awarded with a handsome cash prize." The man said angel made an 'ooo~' sound below his breath.
"Hey excuse me!" A male voice echoed across the room,the man who spoke stepped out. "If we're just playing games then why did you basically kidnap us? How are we ment to trust you?" Charlie looked over at the man talking,she recognised that voice,she speed walked over there and turned the man around. "Dad? What are you doing here?" Charlie said to lucifer before getting interrupted by the square guard.
"My apologies sir,please understand it was a necessary step taken to maintain the strict confidentiality of these games." The square guard replied. A young woman's hand raised up,she had the green tracksuit top in her hand and looked disgusted by it. "Did ye fuckheads strip me when you brought me here." Her strong British accent echoing across the room. "Like look at this shit! The size is all wrong and I fucking despise the colour your using,it does not go well with my hair at all!" She looked up at the masked men at the door smiling. "Can I have the outfits you're wearing? The colour would go perfectly with my hair!" She said in a giddy tone.
"My apologies ma'am,but I'm afraid that's not possible." The masked man replied to the young woman(aka velvette my queen). Velvette had a disappointed look on her face. "But why not? It not that big of a fucking deal is it?" Velvette snapped back at the guard.
The guard did the 'i don't get paid enough for this' sigh and replied back "to ensure the games run smoothly,you must wear your uniforms."
"Hey what did you motherfuckers do with my phone? I paid alot of money for that y'know!" Vox,who was beside velvette,yelled at the guard. "We sure you,your belongings are safe. They will be returned after the games." The guard replied to vox. "Can I have my phone returned at least? I need to see how my business is doing." Vox replied back to the guard. The guard looked back at vox,and gave him a stren look before replying. "We can't allow you to have your phone returned until after the games conclude." The guard replied,rolling his eyes under his mask. "*Verdammt noch mal*" Vox whispered under his breath."Do you know how much money I have in that phone?" Vox snapped back,his German accent coming out.
The square gaurd pointed a remote upword playing a video of vox playing ddakji with the suited man. "Player 387 victor foxell,also known as vox,age 45,owns the biggest,and greediest business in hell. Wanted for fruad and tax evasion while alive."
The guard continued. "Player 342 velvet easter,also known as velvette,wanted for vandalism and theft while alive. Player 230 Anthony Russo also known as Angel dust,wanted for illegal drug use,violence and drug trafficking while alive. Player 098 alastor herfelt also known as alastor wanted for murder,cannibalism,violence and animal cruelty while alive."
They players were shocked,there was murmurs and whispers filling the room,charlie still standing beside lucifer . The guard the started talking again. "Ever player in this room had done something illegal while alive." The guard explained. Lucifer looked up at the videos playing,and spoke up.
"Yeah but what's that worth now,everyone here is dead,they crimes they committed while they were alive doesn't mean anything now does it?" Lucifer said shrugging looking at the guard with a natural expression. "You are right sir,the crimes you all committed doesn't mean anything now,my orders are to show most of the players records that's all." The guard replied. Charlie wonder for a minute,why did they have records of them? How did they get them? Did they have records of her?
As soon as she was thinks about that,the lights dimed and golden lights proceeded to turn on,a piggy bank began to lower from the celling. "If you'd look above you,your will see the piggy bank where your prize money will be stored." The guard said to everyone,everyone in the room looked up to see the piggy bank that was lowering from the roof. "As I said you will play six games,after each game more money will be added to the piggy bank." Everyone watched as the piggy bank got lower and lower,till it stopped everyone was looking up until vox spoke up again. "So how much will the total be by the end huh?" Vox said in a smug way,think he was cool(he wasn't) the guard looked at vox and gave him his answer. "The total prize money is 45.6 billion hellbucks." Everyone gasped,that was alot of money the could win! Charlie looked back up at the piggy bank,wondering how they have that much money.
"That's a lot of money that is." Lucifer said looking up at the piggy bank in awe. Charlie looked over at lucifer in shock,since when did he care about money so much?
Charlie walked back up to vaggie seeing vaggie also shocked about the prize money,the amount of stuff you can get with that! Vaggie started to down her bow and put it up in a ponytail,ready to win this money for her and her girlfriend. Angel was also shocked,there about of crack he could get,eventhough cracking expensive,he could get so much of it with 45.6 billion hellbucks!
Everyone was think about what they could get with that money,tech,drugs,alcohol,cameras for porn videos,everyone had things they could buy with all of that!
The guard began to speak again "if you wish to play the games,please sign the player consent forms,if you do not wish to participate that please let us knkw at this time."
Everyone began lining up to sign to forms,the consent forms had four sentences on them,1.a player is not allowed to voluntary quit 2.a player who refuses to play will be eliminated 3.gamed may be terminated upon majority vote; if vote comes to a tie,the players will revote the next day 4.if majority comes to terminate the games,the prize will be divided equally.

The players were led to a room with pillers that had cameras on them charlie looked over to see if she could see lucifer from here,and she could,he was fixing his hair for the picture,charlie could bearly see his number,she was pretty sure it was 001,was he the first to call the number? Why would he join the games anyway?
Now it was Charlie's turn to take her picture,the camera had a smiley face on it with the word 'smile!' On it. Charlie gave the camera a bright and warm smile. She was then escorted upstairs with the other players,there was a lot of stairs in this place,it was like the hotel if it had 2 extra floors.
"Charlie!" She heard a familiar bubbly voice call out to her,she looked over and saw just the person she expected "Emily!" Charlie exclaimed happily giving her a hug,she hadn't seen her since her fall,she hadn't gone to stay at the hotel,but she was glad she was OK.
"Why are you here?" Charlie asked emily in a confused tone. Emily is a seraphim,why would that man come to her? She was pure and never really did anything wrong in her life."I dont know,I was just bored I guess?" Emily replied with a bright smile.
The players were led into this huge area,it was long and had sand all the way down to the end,the walls had a fake sky on it,it looked like you had to sprint down,charlie looked over the place when she saw something at the end,it was some sort of huge doll,it had an orange and yellow dress,it was low-key a nice doll.
A voice came over the pa announcing what the game will be.
"Attention players,today's game will be red light,green light,the rules are move on green light,and stop on red light,i will now repete the instructions.Attention players,today's game will..."
Charlie walked over to where vaggie was. "Did you hear that? 'Red light,green light? Why the fuck would they make us play that?" Charlie said to vaggie,but before vaggie could reply,the doll at the end turned around and said the words. "Greenlight"
