"... Oh, right, I have a faint recollection of those events. It's too bad, because I did like some of them... but... I guess it was bound to happen. No overlord's reign is eternal... I'd wager."
With his mug placed down, he stood with a dismissive wave of one hand as the other arm crossed behind his back. "No need to worry about that, your majesty. I went on quite an overlord killing spree back in the day." His smirk showed dark enjoyment at the thought. "It'll be nostalgic."
"... Does it now? You being an executioner for your King?" He gives a light laugh. "... At some point, I might ask you to slaughter other overlords, you realize that? As much as I trust most of you to not be stupid, the whole... Vox thing made me rethink not keeping an eye on situations."
Alastor gave an amused smirk "So, you're the judge and I'm the executioner, hm? Never would have expected that title. Makes me feel...excited."
"... Perhaps not, but I chalk some of that up to the current system being incredibly black and white. You either deserve Heaven or you go to Hell. The world is more full of gray than that."
"I suppose so. But I don't see as worth it when you get more and more sinners in hell each day?"
"... I'm not giving you a full smattering of my power. That would be absurd... I am giving you enough to feel a difference though." His hands go behind his back. "... I have plenty of it to spare, so don't you worry about it. My state is absolutely fine."
Lucifer. "One moment, if you're sharing all this power with me, are you affected by that yourself?"
"... Then I guess it's worth it, despite... well... some of you humans not doing what I thought you would. Worth all the pain I was put through during the fall."
"No. None."
"... Look deep inside yourself, you should sense it." Alastor might feel something inside him, just waiting to be unleashed, all he has to do is open the 'box'.
"I should hope so." A pause and then he looked down at the hand he'd used to shake Lucifer's. "...do I already have that extra power?"
"Would you rather have been slaves? I would rather your choices have been your own."
"Yes I know I alresdy heard it all. Dunno why you bothered. Humans are selfish creatures."
"I'm a being that cared too much that wanted to give humans free will and got punished for it. Would you like the whole story?"
"..... I don't know what you are anymore. Part from a short king."
"... I'm more of the ringmaster at this point."
"Or are you the clown?"
Minor shapeshifting, don't worry about it. "... Should've listened to me. I've been telling you all along that there's nothing here."

"... Okay, okay, fine... there's nothing wrong here though, there's literally nothing to worry about, Charlie. The demons that are here want to stay here. At least the ones lodging."
𖤐Another Naaame??𖤐 Blink-blink. 𖤐This just needs to calm down. We don’t need to evacuate the Hotel. Or scare anyone away is all I need and want. Right now…Dad.𖤐
"Pretty sure he could clown on Adam at this point in time."
".... I mean Alastor's gotten a lot stronger with our deal."
"I mean Alastor could always opt-out of our deal and lose the boon I've given him but I dare say he's gotten attached to the extra power, serving his king. I mean I did see him have a little fun in the arena the other day."
"Yes, because you didn't listen completely."
🪽 >:( “So we were all panicking over NOTHING!?!”
"If anyone is going to disturb my daughter's hotel, I'm letting Alastor take the reins of how to deal with the problems. He can eat the issues for all I care but I bet most of them would taste HORRIBLE."
"... I feel like few understands me. Or can hear properly in Hell."
"... Because not much of Hell Alcohol can effect me... maybe stuff that the sins drink but even then it's like 50/50, you know?"
》.. True. I have never seen you drink.《 He has certainly seen Alastor a few too many whiskeys into an evening though.
"... I didn't even do anything. All I said is that fire would be more fitting for a Pit than the Hotel when we were talking about the possibility of the hotel just randomly being on fire."
"UNLESS YOU MEAN THE FIRE BETWEEN TWO LOVERS AND THAT'S ON YOU."
"I AM SURE THERE'S NO FIRE IN THE HOTEL UNLESS YOU ARE USING THE STOVE."
