SCENE PLAYS IN THE BAR WHERE VOX PROPOSES HIS PARTNERSHIP
"we could rule hell... together, as partners!" vox exclaimed to alastor with confidence, a very bad move
alastor is quite shocked but he hides it. Afterall he just learned his "friend" wants to take Advantage of his power- of Course thats all he wanted. Thats all anyone wants -to be fair- Now he showed his true Colors and Alastor is absolutely not ignoring that.
" bold! exept, VINCENT, you cannot just announce ALL of this and just- expect me to comply without a thought in the world."
Alastor knows damn well About vox's past- he just had Things handed to him whenever he wanted, of Course he'd just assume that he'd immedietely say yes.
"oh- uh i- Sorry.... i- i just thought"
"You should have given me time to think, dear friend,
a partnership is a huge deal! You are WELL Aware how tarnished my Reputation would be if i partnered with the wrong person!"
"right... Thats not very 'kind' on my part, sorry again.. - but please think about this! It would be a great opportunity! Radio and video- you cant get a more dynamic duo than that-"
"now- please sit down and explain exactly what would that mean?
the whole- 'partners' ordeal, i might just take up your case!"
vox accidentally squealed out of joy. very unproffesional. Alastor noticed and genuinely thinks he is pathetic.
"Well- we could start a company and create products, products that sinners would just absolutely adore - products that would make hell KNEEL before m-ₛₕᵢₜ US! Become huge personas- Become the face of sinners"
"thats.... ᶜᵉʳᵗᵃⁱⁿˡʸ ᵒᵘᵗ ᵒᶠ ᵗᵒᵘᶜʰ ,, But- you might have convinced me!"
"is- is that a no..?"
"its a maybe! Give me time to think and we'll see!"
"oh- uh GREAT!! " vox could not hide his enthusiasm as the electricity in between both his anntenas was bursting 100 times more than usual, he already took that as a win. Foolish
"Well- i shall take my leave "
"Same time next week?"
"Sure.."
Alastor leaves while vox is literally twirling his feet . He is DEFINETELY staying there for a victory drink, Alastor on the other hand thinks, why the HELL did he even give this guy a chance? a partnership? what does he take him for- a doormat? alastor is well aware vox is naive- hes known him for long but apparently vox hasnt , considering his ridiculous statement
alastor in his weird realm Thing, thinking real hard About his next move- to not lose a former "Friend's" trust and to gain instead. He is like 90% sure he'll just turn the deal down and cut contact or absolutely kill the guy- but he still thinks theres a Chance. ₕₑ ᵢₛ ₐ ₕₑₐᵣₜₗₑₛₛ ₘₒₙₛₜₑᵣ ᵃᶠᵗᵉʳᵃˡˡ, ⁿᵒᵗ ˡⁱᵏᵉ ʰᵉ ᶜᵃʳᵉˢ ᶠᵒʳ ᵃⁿʸᵒⁿᵉ. ᴴᵉ ᶜᵃⁿ ᵏⁱˡˡ ᵃⁿʸᵒⁿᵉ ʰᵉ ʷᵃⁿᵗˢ ᵗᵒ ᵏⁱˡˡ.
