A short while passed and, after sleeping away the morning exhaustion, Tuette's eyes fluttered open. To her surprise, she was not laying in her bed, but rather, was laying on top of the goetia she had just met hours prior. She immediately scrambled up and backed into the corner of the room, not...
Not much reaction came from her when spoken to or lifted up, other than a few odd grumbles and soft whimpers, yet nevertheless, it was easy to move her. As he settled himself down onto the couch, she snuggled up closer, nuzzling her face into him. The gentle strokes between her ears only caused...
While this would have normally been embarrassing as all get out, she was too damn tired to even notice how strange it might appear to a passerby. Either way, at his stirring words, she did not move a muscle, and was contentedly asleep against his warm and soft feathers. If he possessed more...
As she was enveloped in his warm embrace, she felt herself drawing closer to more sleep. She unconsciously let out a soft whine and nuzzled her face into his chest, falling right back asleep. Her tail was waving back and forth and her large ears had flattened back comfortably. She looked...
Out of a tendency to become crabby after first waking up, she wanted to say something snarky in response, but her energy levels were at an all-time low. She wasn't used to so much interaction within one day, so it was enough stress as-is. Tuette's eyelids were drooping and she felt like she...
Tuette managed to find herself waking up much later in the day, to where she sat up in bed and yawned wide, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She imagined that this was nothing a nice glass of scotch or whiskey wouldn't fix... well, no, either would make it worse, but there wasn't much that...
Husk listened to the description with mild interest. “Normal? Ha! Outta this lot, she might be, but she’s a troublemaker, don’t let that fool ya.” He focused on scrubbing the glass in his hand down to clean it out. “Makes a lot of sinners seem like normal folk. Plus, she’s got a wild backstory...
It didn’t take long for everybody to disperse, yet when Niffty came rambling back in, Tuette managed to be her target at this particular moment. The little housekeeper grabbed onto and was aggressively hugging Tuette’s tail, to which she thrashed around in an attempt to get Niffty off. It was a...
She nodded and departed from the room, allowing him the time he needed to change up the scene a little bit more. In the meantime, she went around rounding up the residents of the hotel and bringing them downstairs into the main living space. This included Angel Dust, Niffty, and Alastor, who was...
Tuette leaned against the bedpost, crossing her arms as she listened to him speak. While she did know that it was important to help people, she also knew there were better ways of doing it. Charlie was one such person who was aiming to selflessly help sinners find redemption. There was no way...
She watched the process of his decorating with hidden interest, not allowing any awe or shock to be presently visible on her features. Tuette folded her arms over her chest, placing herself in a defensive posture, which didn’t seem to be something she did consciously.
“It’s not as important as...
“I woke them up to tell them that you were here, and when I went to go back to bed, they snatched me up and dragged me along.” She offered him a half shrug, looking the other way in embarrassment. Tuette reached up and stretched the back of her neck.
“Besides, darling, I’m not even sure why...
Charlie nodded with exasperating excitement. "Effort is what makes it count! If we can convince sinners to come here for redemption, then we can change Hell forever! And, it helps that we have great sponsors like you and a few guests already settling in!" She gestured up the stairway.
"Since...
Mere minutes later, not by choice, she would add, Tuette was being dragged downstairs by the scruff of her neck, held up by Vaggie, who was following a delighted Charlie. The princess of Hell approached Ipos and bowed slightly.
"It is great to have you here! We are so excited to show you around...
She shrugged one shoulder and stood back up, feeling a bit embarrassed that she let herself go in that moment. Being soft was what got her killed in life. It wasn't something she needed to show off again in death. Instead, she headed back over to the bar and grabbed her whiskey.
"Charlie will...
"It's beautiful," she stated simply, still watching the frozen fire with powerful interest. With a power like that, it would be damn near impossible to not be the strongest. Not that she would know anything about that, of course.
"Not startled, I guess... just in awe. I've never seen something...
