>"Now while most of you fellas know him for his pole routines and videos that'd give any church goer a stroke, he's also got some history in other parts of the entertainment industry, such as comedy."
Did you know this was happening tonight?
>"No clue"
>"And so without further adieu, please give a warm welcome to Angel Dust."
>Clapping and cheering soon mixed in with the smog of cigar smoke and odors as the spider in the kinky boots walked onto the stage.
>He picks up the microphone with confidence that you wished you had yourself.
>"Evening guys and guys, gotta love me the smell of steak and sulfur at 8, eh?"
>His first joke is rewarded by a few laughs.
That's him
>"Who?"
The guy I was just talking about, the spider guy. Also one of my regulars at the station
>After the reminder, you were silent again.
>"Now, this place hasn't changed one bit since I fell down here, you even got that same chubster in the back, giving anyone who walks in a death glare."
>You all turn around and sure enough you see a chunky demon in with a burger that the me he probably named "Artery Annihilator".
>"Aside from that, place is dim as ever, leak in the corner that hasn't been fixed, and a guy can get a good piece of meat on their plate and in the last stall in the men's room."
>Another wave of laughter reaches your ears after that line.
>And for a half an hour, Angel continues making joke after joke with ease, which didn't surprise you, with how witty he already was at the station.
>"And did I mention I ain't even sober? Had a few of them complimentary drinks backstage before coming on? I ain't fully drunk yet, but tomorrow I'm gonna down a bottle of Tylenol before going to the studio."
>After some more laughter the spider was given a round of applause as he took a bow.
>And just like that, the mixed rock came back on, and the slow-laid back atmosphere seeped back in.
>By then you and Via had finished eating and had the bill sent to your table
-
>Only then did it come to your attention that you didn't know what currency was used down here.
>This was hell, just about anyone could be sent down here regardless of their gender, race, or class. The only requirement was to be a shitty person.
>So in a place like this, what did you use.
>Via then answered by opening up her wallet and pulling out a sum Thomas Jeffersons, and some Andrew Jackson's.
You aren't paying the full bill are you?
>"I'm the rich one here, it only makes sense."
>You may have only seen this as a get together, the voice in the back of your head yelled at you to pay.
>And after a small debate, you and Octavia agreed to split it.
>You two left the bar and began walking
>"Where to now?"
>You weren't sure for a moment, but after checking your pocket and feeling the pepper spray you packed. You decided on just walking around for a bit.
>"You want us to just walk for a bit?"
It's not like we have anything better to do, might as well go sight seeing.
>"Well, I guess we could. It's been nearly a century since I've been in Pentagram."
>And so you two walked around, despite the chances of either of you getting jumped being higher than a hippie, it was sort of calming.
>Then came more talk between you two.
So, how long have you known Charlie?
>"Since we were kids, so a few centuries."
>You waited a few seconds for Octavia to continue, but you soon realized she wasn't.
>So you tried again
Was she always this bubbly?
>"Yes, more so when we were younger, I reckon I'd hung myself today if she didn't mellow out a tiny bit."
So what about that Helsa chick you mentioned?
>"She and her brother Seviathan were also our friends. Charlie and Sev even dated for a bit. Charlie and Helsa HATE each other today though"
>You wanted to ask more but you thought it best not to pry, your gut telling you change the subject for the sake of your life.
>Which didn't require much when the two of you spotted the giant amusement park up ahead.
Is that Loo Loo land?
-
>"Please, don't even try to compare it to this beauty here. You're looking at Luu Luu World, the origami and superior amusement park."
>The place looks like a kid's sugar high dream come true, a giant roller coaster, lights that would put a disco to shame, and other neat attractions.
>You two stared in awe at it, like a light house in the middle of a stormy night
>It was right then that you knew what would obviously make tonight a instant win
>But from what you could infer, the place was as expensive as Disney.
>And you definitely didn't have any hidden fortune or wealth to buy either of you tickets.
>So, for whatever reason, you began contemplating on whether or not breaking into the Devil's Amusement park was worth the risk, when you felt Octavia tap you again.
>She held two tickets in front of you, and smirked
>"I got these just a few weeks ago. Dad doesn't know of course."
Who sent them?
>"Helsa actually, she may be a bitch now, but she used to be decent."
>She looked over at the park, then back to you.
>"So, want to go?"
>You said yes without hesitating
>And one taxi ride later, you both stood outside the park entrance holding your tickets.
>You both were met by two 11 foot gargoyles, wearing shirts with the word "SECURITY" printed in bold text
>"Tickets?" One of them asked
>You both held out your tickets, and the gargoyle examined them
>"Aight, enjoy your night princess, and whoever the fuck you are."
>The gargoyles stepped aside and you two walked in.
>You immediately smelled what smelled like every desert and carnival dish altogether in one mouth watering dish
>Music blared from every corner of the park
>All in all, it was fantastic
So, where do we go first?
>"Rollercoaster, just try not to vomit up dinner please."
>You both went over the the big one you saw earlier, looking even scarier up close.
>The line wasn't as long as you expected, probably due to how expensive this place was
>But it was worth it.
