>YWN be Rosie's manservant
Why live
-
I tend to think that would basically just be working for a female Alastor who's into fashion more than radio. Like she probably has her own Niffty and Husk

>Guy just chilling in bed with the TV on, just about ready to douse the lights and go to sleep
>Sudden horrible twisting sensation in his inner ear, like going through a loop on a Rollercoaster underwater
>Sounds of tearing fabric and clinking teacups and bones being broken
>Suddenly he's standing in the middle of Rosie's workshop

>"Ahhh hello dear boy~"
>"Terribly sorry to call upon you at this hour but I've just had a lovely jolt from my muse and I desperately need someone to to model this new outfit for me!"

>"You coca-wine swilling Hannibal Lecter-y btch!"
>"This seriously couldn't wait until tommorow?"

>"Good to see you too, darling~"
>"Now be a lamb and put this on so I can start tailoring it~"

>...
>"You want ME to wear THAT?!"

>"Indeed I do, darling~"
-
>An hour later, the poor guy is standing on a little platform in a strapless evening gown and high heels, with a choker and decorative wrist cuffs, while Rosie carefully tailors the outfit to show off a little more leg
>He's surrounded by mirrors on all sides, so there's no escaping the sight of himself dressed up like an eligible bachelorette at her high society debut
>Rosie's humming to herself as she works

>"Oh, do try not to scowl so~"
>"Be positive"
>"You're going to be the face of my new winter lineup~"

>"If you think I'm going to pose for the camera in THIS getup, you're insane."

>"I assure you my good man"
>"I'm QUITE insane."
>"And you WILL be posing for the catalog~"
-
>Rosie calls Anon for help with random activies.
>They range from tech support to being a model.
-
lol

>"Alright now dearie, strike a pose"

>"Get bent"

>"Ooohh darling, do you -really- want to make me invoke your soul-contract?"
>"Things will be so much easier for all of us if you just cooperate~"

>Rosie's thrall grumbles to himself and tries out what he imagines is what one is supposed to do when asked to "strike a pose" in such attire

>"Come now darling, you need to project confidence~"

>He doesn't have the foggiest clue of how to do that while in woman's clothing and six-inch heels, but he tries

>"Marvelous darling, you look simply marvelous~"

>The camera clicks, sealing her servant's fate
>Then she claps her hands together
>There would probably be a look of cheerful realization in her eyes if they weren't all-consuming black pits

>"Oh!"
>"Wait!"
>"A selife!"

>...a what?

>"Selfies are something all the younger sinners do aren't they?"

>She pushes her manservant's hellphone into his hands

>"Quick, take one of those selfies and post it on the voxtagram and the fiendbook and whatnot. Tap the emporium when you post it."
>"It should be fine publicity for the new line~"

>"That's 'tag', not 'tap', and no, I'm not taking a selfie in this outfit."
-
Anons post goes as such

>"Under threat of erasure I have been forced to demean myself and wear high heels for an advertisement.

>*Pic of Anon in the outfit*

>"I hope you enjoy this because I sure don't" @Rosie's Emporium Of Fine Garments
-
>His entire post history more or less follows this same vein
-
>There's a few of him in sailor outfits because Rosie saw a play
-------------
Does the servant at least get paid through food, water, and a place to stay?
-
>Everyone starts joking that Anon has a sugar mommy even though he lives independently until Rosie summons him
-
>Anon is living worse than literal indentured servants
-
Wouldn't be surprised if Alastor and Rosie both had some slaves at their disposal
-
How tf do people sign up for sht like this? Like what do they get in return for being basically slaves? Indentured servants usually do it to pay off loans and sht.
---
The whole point is that slavery is involuntary
-
Selling your soul; probably. Maybe it can be done in Hell in some fashion, because y'know, they're not powerful enough to get back up
-
Oh indentured servants have some standard of protection even if it boils down to don't beat the servants
-
Classic "Deal With The Devil" shit

>You cure my cancer, I sell you my soul
>You save me from these narcos I owe money to, I sell you my soul
>Give me the winning lotto numbers, I'll give you my soul
>Make me talented and famous, in exchange you get my soul

It's the cosmic equivalent of a payday loan: something only truly desperate or dumb people do.

Well, this doesn't sound like slavery. A lot more like indentured servitude which is consenting a lot of the time.
>>41026005
Yeah, that makes sense. It'd be neat to know what Anon got from Rosie. Was it just protection?
>>41026029
That sounds pretty good in Hell. You're a slave but nobody fuks with you.
>>41026040
This also makes sense.
---
>Anon's brought out whenever Rosie has company
>He's just used for bragging purposes

You know now that I think about it more, this scenario opens up space for there to be lots of good souls in Hell, enslaved to overlord demons, all because they were willing to sacrifice themselves to a demon for a good cause when it seemed like Heaven wasn't listening.

And in that vein:

>"Yes ladies, this is Anon, my favorite thrall."
>"One of the saintliest souls you'll ever see down here in the inferno~"
>"I bought him for the low price of curing a ward full of cancer-riddled newborns"
>"He was in such despair I didn't even have to bargain too hard with him~"
>"The tumors I extracted made for excellent hors d'oeuvres"
>"Finer than the finest milk-fed veal~"
-
Holy sht Rosie is fuking nasty. By "veal" does she mean actual cow veal or human "veal"?
-
If human flesh is "long pig" then a pile of tumors harvest in the course of supernaturally curing a bunch of cancerous infants is "long veal".

Would Alastor be a gentleman towards Rosie?
-
They're explicitly friends, so yes.
