Zuni
Zuni sauntered out of Josef's room and went straight for a plate of fruit. Her bright green hair was a little bit disheveled, and so were her black clothes. She sat down and just started eating, looking really irritated, more than usual, and also exhausted. As she picked up pieces of fruit and put them to her mouth, her sleeves slid down and rubbed up against the deep bruising on her wrists, which was painful but she was more than used to it by now. She wouldn't even so much as look at Josef, and just focused on eating. Hopefully the stupid morning classes out be over with quickly so she could say '******** everyone' and go back to hiding in her closet.
Nifty skipped out into the dining hall, and locked her eyes on Wynter. Grinning, she sat down next to her with a plate of sugary food from the breakfast bar.
"GOOD MORNING~!" She said to the dark haired female, her tail wiggling excitedly as she leaned in closer. "Oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-chan!" Nifty smiled even more, getting sheer joy out of being able to call someone her sister.

Altair (Wraith) His gaze went from the two angels before him to Josef for a split moment. He had seen him before, but couldn't quite remember the name. After a few moments of him studying the demon lord, he turned his attention to Kisa welcoming him inside. Sweet, they actually let him in!
"Thank you very much, Kisa? That's a nice name. Wraith is my name, nice to meet you."
Yeah, she definitely didn't want to let me in. I can tell by the look on her face. but I don't blame her. For all she knows from that little comment that silver-eyed demon made, I was sent here to eliminate someone.
His gaze wandered around, staring at the walls and studying the inside of the hotel. It was super nice, way nicer than what he usually lived in. If not for the riot in hell and the big fuss over the hotel, he was sure this place would be packed with demons just wanting these living conditions. Even if he wasn't able to be redeemed, he thought it was worth it to be able to stay in a place like this. The angels seemingly had things under control, which surprise him a little. How did they keep things so orderly with such few angels here? Prism Prism stepped back as the masked demon entered the hotel. She still felt pretty uneasy around the guy, with that mask and weapon strapped to his back. Was Wynter telling the truth? Was he really doing stuff for the higher ups down here? He hadn't made a move yet, but who's to say he wouldn't? She felt awful thinking that, but there were a lot of red flags going off in her head about this newcomer...
The guy doesn't look old, I can't tell exactly, but either he's small for his age or he's young... How does someone so young end up doing things like that for a living? Serving pure evil souls... It's hard to believe there are kids down here like Nifty or him... A-Assuming he isn't an adult... Wynter Wynter looked to Zuni, raising an eyebrow slightly.
Why does she look all- Oh.
She answered her own question, the clues from her appearance being enough of an answer. The demon looked away from her, frowning. That was some pretty awful s**t right there she dealt with. It was no wonder she was so angry all the time, not that she herself was a calm and collected person.
Wynter decided not to say anything about it, her morning seemed like it had been pretty horrendous already...
Her entire body jolted at Nifty's loud voice, snapping out of her thoughts. Greaaaaat. Lovely. The damn brat was here. The kid was a migraine all by herself.
wAIT WHAT DID SHE CALL ME?!
Onee-Chan. That's what the tiefling just called her. How in the HELL did she even CONNECT her to someone sisterly?! Was she oblivious to the fact she wasn't wanted by her?!
"Morning." The silver eyed demon grumbled under her breath, letting out a long breath to release her irritation. She didn't like kids much, especially ANNOYING AS HELL ones.

KisaThe Beacon of Light
Once he talked more, Kisa let her guard down a tiny bit more. He sounded polite, there was no way he could be here to kill someone if he was being so polite, right? She didn't exactly know how to tell if someone was bad unless they practically outright said it.
Feeling a bit more calm, she tried to smile less nervously, motioning towards the neko angel. "This is Prism, her and I do most of the day-to-day cleaning, cooking, and general running of the Hotel. We're having breakfast right now, if you would like something to eat?"
Odstarva was observing silently from afar, pretending to be flipping through his notes while he sipped some tea. However his ears were completely focused on observing the new person whom Kisa had just let inside. Wraith, was it? It sounded familiar, so Wynter was probably right on the money.
Retired, huh? We'll see about that.
Nifty squeed happily that Wynter just said 'morning' and didn't tell her off. YAY THAT MUST MEAN IT'S OKAY TO CALL HER ONEE-CHAN! She was so delighted that she threw herself onto the poor demon, hugging her tightly and bouncing a little bit.
"Josef is Daddy, Zuni is Mommy, so that makes you my big sister~!" The tiefling squeed again, "I always wanted a big sister~!"

Josef
Ignoring Nifty and her antics, Josef as he wakes up keeps his gaze upon the new demon and tilts his head.
"Huh, which hell are you from? I am curious. I think I have heard about you before but I can't put my finger on it. Who are you, why are you here?"
The archdemon scratches his head in confusion.
"I ask as the Authority holding the title Demonlord of the 7th Hell."
The Archdemon then turns his head to Nifty and Zuni.
"Come here guys, I need you over here as I want him to know my standing as the Demonlord."
Josef's eyes begin glowing blood red as a show of force, trying to intimidate the newblood.
Thorival Reseria
The paladin is standing with Kisa and Prism as they allow the new Demon to enter the redemption hotel. With a nod he gives the catch phrase that he has practiced countless times in an effort to NOT grit his teeth at allowing such evil demons to encroach upon such holy intentions.
"Welcome to Heavenly Hotel. May your stay be as good as the paradise in the heavens and may your sins be cleansed by your repentance."
He bows his head as Wraith is welcomed by the others. After Josef enters the fray from his quarters, his guard is up as the Demonlord is literally provoking the new one.
"Now. We are not here to instigate any fights."
Thorival draws his two handed sword.
"Please refrain from any fighting. Josef Verruckt."

Altair (Wraith) "Nice to meet you too, Prism. Hope we get along well. Oh? Breakfast? Sounds lovely, but I'll just sit and get to know everyone. If it's alright, I'll get some leftovers later."
Yeah, I'll just take the food somewhere else and eat later. I'd have to take this thing off, and it's bothersome. Altair thought before his attention snapped to Josef, listening until he was finished with his "interrogation" of sorts. His gaze not leaving the demon lord, he gave Thorival a dismissive wave.
It all made sense now, yeah, Josef Verruckt. Demon lord of the seventh hell. No wonder he looked familiar, he was one of the demon lords he hadn't met formally yet, how exciting.
"I don't mind, it's not a bad thing to be curious. As said before, mister demon lord of the seventh hell, Wraith is who I am. The silver-eyed girl was kind enough to tell Kisa over here I'm and "errand boy" of sorts. For pay of course. I skip around, I don't stick to one region for long. I'm merely here because I want to know if anyone is redeemable, even me. I'm just curious is all, and bored."
Altair didn't bother lying, because why should he? He didn't have a reason to, plus this demon lord was new to him and the masked demon knew nothing about him. He could feel the unnerving aura Josef was giving off, and while he took caution of that, he didn't react, except for a slight twitch of his finger.
Probably won't want to make enemies of him. Not a smart move. I'll play it safe and go along with whatever test this is.
"Does that satisfy your curiosity?" Prism Prism flattened her ears at Josef. Oh no. Were they really going to start this morning off with a fight..? She REALLY hoped not!
The masked demon seemed... super friendly, which was odd, for a demon, you know? He seemed calm and collected, he didn't take offense to anything Josef was saying, which half the demons here hated him just for talking. This one just... shrugged it off..? What was with him? If Wynter was right about him, didn't that mean he should be a bit more... evil...? It wasn't an assumption she was proud of, but it was still a bit confusing... Just who exactly was the kid under the mask? Why did he have to hide that person from everyone else?
Prism stood off to the side, waiting and hoping things wouldn't escalate from here... Wynter Wynter cringed HEAVILY at Nifty's hugs, but she wasn;t mean enough to strike a child or shove her off.. She had a thing against hitting kids, no matter how ANNOYING or OBNOXIOUS they were.
Although she wasn't quite sure if she could contain herself at the next string of words the tielfing had happily stated. No, just NO. When in the HELL did Nifty get the sudden idea she was involved in her little "family"? ESPECIALLY WITH JOSEF AS A FATHER.
But... She looked happy. She gave an irritated sigh.
"Yayyyy." She said in a quiet, slightly sarcastic tone.
Now let go of me let go of me let go of me!!

KisaThe Beacon of Light
Kisa felt a shiver go down her spine as soon as Josef started showing a flex of power. No no no no PLEASE don't have a repeat of the first day here! Was he going to do this to all of the questionable characters that joined the hotel? She really hated taunting and fighting...
Altair just... brushed it off....? Thank goodness.... she was really getting nervous s**t might hit the fan and a brawl would start.... quite frankly, it was a miracle no fights had happened in the hotel yet. The more demons joined, the more likely physical fights were going to happen.... if Josef taunted the wrong person, there could be a huge melt down and people could get hurt, or the hotel being destroyed...
Kisa tried not to seem on edge, calming down a bit after the "errand boy" didn't give a confrontational reaction. Thorival had his weapon drawn... Hopefully everyone just stayed calm....
The second Josef told Nifty to come over, she instantly let go of Wynter and practically flew over to him and sat down next to him, making sure her thigh was pushed up against his leg to try and sit as close to him as possible, without actually being on his lap. She didn't seem to be startled by his blood red eyes, and just stared at Wraith. Why did Daddy want to intimidate a small kid???
Zuni wasn't even paying attention to all of the commotion. Usually she was quite the observer, but this morning she just really did not give a flying ******** what was going on. She just kept picking at her food, lost in her own thought to the point where she was ignoring the sound of Josef's voice speaking to her. She was reminiscing about events from her mortal life... all of the sorrow... all of the anguish.... all of the blood... and it all led here. She continued to be completely furious she had been sent to Hell and made a slave, it was as if the deities down here had made sure she got her own worst possible hell. But the saddest part was.... her human life had been very similar to this one.
The only difference was, now, she was stuck living in it forever......... Unless she figured out how to "redeem" herself. But how does someone redeem themselves when they didn't really even do anything wrong?
Sure, she made bad choices. But who doesn't make mistakes? Her only sin was using drugs or alcohol to take the edge off of her life. So gluttony, technically. But she never actually became addicted, because those items weren't constantly available for her to get her hands on. She only took them if she could find them occasionally. So she couldn't call herself a drug addict, or an alcoholic. More like an opportunist. Besides, anyone in her shoes would probably do the same exact thing.
What else was wrong with her? She was a murderer. But only by self defense. She didn't have the drive to kill. She didn't want to fight. But her life always made her cross paths with evil people. And she wasn't going to let anyone pick on her that she didn't have to. She couldn't best anyone of Josef's caliber, obviously.... but when random people attacked her on the street in her human life, she wasn't going down without a fight. Those fights often involved weapons being drawn. And Zuni wasn't going to put up with being threatened at knife point. So Zuni had her own knife for self defense. And one thing would lead to another.... and some assailants would end up bleeding to death. It wasn't like she meant to kill any of them.
But one thing was for sure: she wasn't sorry. If she had to do it over again, she would do the same thing. Because she only did what she had to to survive the streets.... It wasn't like she got pleasure in it. How could she be sorry for that? Maybe that's why she was sent to Hell.

Josef
"..... Zuni. Hello Earth to Zuni? Also Wynter come here. I want you to be here as part of my... posse. Wraith was it? I am the lead Demon here. That is all."
Josef then goes to eating once more. Having said all he wanted.
Thorival Reseria
A bead of sweat slowly drips down his face as he is at the ready to take out his weapon should anything happen. As the situation simmers, he is at ease once again. With a sigh he looks over to Kisa.
"What is on the repitoire today? I feel like we have a lot to discuss concerning sins and what not..."
Demitrious Von Varibon Reseria
The fallen prince slowly makes his way down into the breakfast dining hall. His spirit looking completely and utterly drained.
Man, I really hate it here. I wish I could just have it super easy...
With a yawn, he goes over to where Josef's table is and just sits down next to Zuni and begins eating his portion of a breakfast bun. Before he puts it in his mouth he drops it.
"Oh..."
He leans over to pick it up and hits his head onto Zuni.

Altair (Wraith) "Consider me informed." He replied to the archdemon.
Strange. Well, I seemed to have appeased him. That's a good thing, I think. Also, why was that needed? Demonstration of power maybe? Does that mean I pose some threat to that power? Hm. Super weird.
The masked demon pondered only for a moment about their interaction, before looking back to the angels. A small smile appeared on his lips under his mask. They were worried some scuffle might happen, right? Lucky for them, he didn't really wish to fight, it would bring attention to his whereabouts, and there were some people he didn't want finding him. Plus, he had a feeling his would get his a** handed to him by Josef.
"I'll go sit now."
Altair walked to the dining table, taking a seat about three seats down from Wynter. he took his weapon off his back, resting against the end of the table before actually sitting in the chair. He was still pretty impressed with how nice the place was, and his gaze was turning everywhere, studying, noticing, taking as much information as he could. Force of habit, it made him feel at ease to be familiar with the area he was in. It made him anxious to be in an enclosed space without knowing the exits. Being trapped panicked him. Wynter Uhhhhh no. ******** no.She didn't want to be anywhere near Josef. Whatsoever. It was barely tolerable to even be in the same room as him.
"Mm, I'm fine here. I like this chair, so no thank you."
Wynter went back to eating her cinnamon roll, happy to finally eat something. Her stomach had been empty since last night, and her hunger for food only added to her hunger for an alcoholic drink. Although the meds that Kisa gave her were helping, they definitely took the edge off the cravings, and she didn't feel as sick. Although her mind still screamed the same chant. ALL. THE. TIME.
Go drink that bottle go drink that bottle go drink that bottle go drink that bottle go drink that bottle go drink that bottle
It was an endless loop that was driving her INSANE, but eating distracted her from it. She needed something else to distract her mind, because at this rate she was going to lose her s**t.
The silver eyed demoness looked to Demitrious as he came into the dining hall with such a depressing aura.
Wow, he looks like s**t. It suits him, wish he'd be depressed and quiet more often. I hope that archangel knocks him down a few more pegs. Serves the spoiled a*****e right.

Zuni
Zuni was still off in her own little world as Demitrious dropped his food, bent over to pick it up, and smacked into her. She instantly jolted, startled out of her train of thought. Her instinct kicked in hard to defend herself off a strike to her body, which made her arm swing out to punch the poor prince. The kitny wasn't aiming for anywhere because it was simply a reactionary reflex, but she ended up hitting him somewhere: his face, his shoulder, his chest, it could have been anywhere.
But the second she smacked him with her fist, was the second Zuni's mind clicked back to what was really happening. Demitrious had just bumped into her for some reason. He wasn't attacking her.
....... well, <********....... Sorry......" Zuni said, her expression had been startled for just a moment, that made her resemble a scared child, only for a single split second, but now it was normal again, cold and rebellious gaze locked onto him. She really was sorry. She would feel worse, but this kid was kind of a d**k so oh well....

Demitrious Von Varibon Reseria
...... That b**ch hit me
The prince fell over after getting hit in the head. With a whelp and him clutching his eye his anger comes to a boil and he just..... lays there and howls in rage, agony and just at his perceived unfairness that has been thrust upon him and he just.... lets it all out
"WHY WOULD YOU HIT ME?! WHY WHY WHY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
Clutching his face, he stands up and just glares at her while the hand imprint that Zuni left upon his beautiful face pulsating in pain.
"YOU..... YOU......Sorry I got in your way."
Demitrious then slowly saunters over to the kitchen and just collapses.
Josef
"Ah. I see you are being difficult and are very... confident that you wont be having to listen to me because you WONT fail. I guess that makes since considering you lied to me and you still do have what I requested the other day."
Josef stares daggers into Wynter, gauging her reaction to what he just said.
Then the Archdemon shrugs and sighs.
"Well, you wont be needing to listen to me. Just make sure you get redeemed alright? I don't want you to get hurt by the others out there."
Josef then gives off the FAKEST SMILE ever in existence.
"I mean, I am very interested in your fate after all."

Altair (Wraith) Altair suddenly looked up at Demitrious, who was howling on the floor an just being..... WAY loud. He didn't want to say it was JUST a hit to the face, but it was kinda just a hit to the face... Why was he being so loud? Who even WAS this guy? His fault for bumping the green haired demon.
Although he kinda just smiled at the situation, since it was a little amusing, at least to him. The guy was raging like a small child who fell down and scraped his knee. Wynter Wynter blinked twice at Zuni.
Holy s**t, she reacted hella fast! Talk about reflexes, eh? She nailed him right in the eye!
"Talk about a tantrum. Someone needs nap." She snorted, finding his tantrum over being nailed in the face just a little funny. Only because she hated his guts and seeing him in pain was a bit satisfying. Although when she looked to Zuni, she swore she saw her defiant gaze disappear for just a moment. She didn't think Zuni was really scared of much, but it looked like Demitrious accidentally startled her. Or maybe she was reading too much into it as usual.
She suddenly flinched a little at what Josef said. Wait, how in the hell did he knew she was lying?! She felt her stomach do uneasy flips. With a pale face, she went pretty quiet. Her mind just started panicking again. If she failed, she would be a b***h to EVERY demon out there... Including Josef.... She took a breath, giving him a dirty look before going back to eating her food.
"...I don't know what you're talking about..."

Josef
Ah, her face went pale. So there is something up then. I guess I just have to corner her and see if she panics more so she will belie her true intentions and have to concede herself to me that way
"You don't think I wouldn't know? I mean, I specifically asked you because I know you had some. So you shouldn't lie as that is one of the first things that can impede your way to redemption. Tsk tsk I am very disappointed in you Wynter... I couldn't believe you would lie to me like that..."
Josef stands up and walks towards where she is sitting.
"I mean, you have to be honest and be as open as possible in order to take this regimented reformation program seriously as I am. You are just... being a stick in the mud now."
The Archdemon grins and puts his hand on her shoulder softly.
"Lying isn't tolerated by the leader of the charge. If I were your leader, I would create a punishment. However the lie is very benign and the Angels would accept an apology so for you.... an apology is all I request."
I got her right where I want her.

Zuni
Zuni's ears snapped back as soon as the spoiled brat just started ******** screaming like the little b***h he was. Seriously? It was just one punch... and it was technically his fault for smacking her. That was quite the screaming over something that should have just been a yelp or something similar.
She shrugged as he walked off. She said she was sorry, geez....
Kisa winced as she heard Demitrious get socked in the face, and then started howling like a banshee. My goodness, could he scream... That looked like it hurt but not that much, that was mostly just a tantrum... And she would have been upset with Zuni, but it looked like a complete accident.
Demitrious seemed to put a lid on his rage and stormed off towards the kitchen, just to slump to the floor all dramatically as if his entire life was ruined. Kisa almost giggled, and instantly felt guilty. She didn't mean to find it funny, but she just had never seen someone with such... extreme reactions. He really was a spoiled prince that didn't know anything, huh? She couldn't criticize that really, though, because she was really naive herself, in her own way. But throwing tantrums all the time must be exhausting...
The pastel angel walked over to Demitrious and knelt down next to him, "H-Hey, are you okay...? Let me see..." Kisa gently put her hand under his chin and softly tilted his face up so she could look at his eye. It didn't look too bad, but he would have a black eye soon...
"Sit still for a second, okay?" Kisa slid her hand from his chin to up against his cheek, right next to the bruise on his eye, closed her eyes, and a small magical light beamed from the palm of her hand. The holy light absorbed into his skin, and when she pulled her hand away his bruise was completely healed. Not a single trace of damage was left.
Kisa smiled softly at him, "There! All better!"

Wynter Wynter had been silently praying Josef would just accept that and leave her the ******** alone, but of course her prayers went unanswered as he started walking towards her. She was trying VERY hard to not look like she was panicking, but her silver eyes betrayed her as usual. She had always been an AWFUL liar.
Oh s**t oh ******** he's coming over here, OH MY GOD PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST GO AWAY! I don't want anything to do with you! He's going to find me out, I'm so ********, AGAIN. Why do you do this to yourself you ******** IDIOT?!
Wynter stiffened in her chair, dropping her cinnamon roll on her plate as he put his hand on her shoulder. Her gaze was a pretty even mix of panicked and rebellious as she stared up at him. She didn't know how to pull herself out of this one now, so she just kinda froze. Her thoughts were everywhere, and the words wouldn't come out. She knew for a fact it was obvious she was lying at this point, and there wan't really any way to dig herself out of the hole she'd jumped into.
"I... I refuse. I shouldn't have to give you s**t..." Her voice was deathly quiet, and she looked to the floor while trying to hold onto some of her pride. She HATED this. It was BULLSHIT. "I'm sure the angels wouldn't have appreciated me giving you booze I wasn't supposed to have anyways... But it doesn't matter. I dumped it all. I won't apologize for not sharing, or lying about it."
Fine, I DARE you to get angry in front of everyone, you can't do s**t to me, not here. Call me out on it, fine. I had booze. I have an addiction, so yeah, you're bound to see me hiding some. If i gave ti to you, I would have been encouraging it upon others. You didn't even need MY booze, you could've gotten some anywhere but from ME. Why are you STILL pissed about me not obeying you?!

Josef
Bingo.
So she poured it out? After I asked for it and she lied to me. Interesting. This one is going to be.... fun to say the least.
"Fine. Suit yourself. I will be going back to my table. If I were you, I'd make friends with the powerful. This may be a rehabilitation center, but the weak will be cast out, either in demon or redemption."
He pats her shoulders softly and smiles, then leaves.
"You shouldn't be so fiesty, what happens when you bite the hand of an angel? That would cast you out. I mean, Angels ARE huge on their justice and all."
He waves without looking at her, and just sits back down next to Zuni.
"Nice one, this is why I love you. You are amazing even when you don't try. That Prince brat really got his desserts."
Demitrious Von Varibon Reseria
After Kisa heals him, he just puts his hand to his face and looks up at her in the eye.
I will admit she is pretty, but damn is she dimwitted.
"Ah... Thank you. Kind one... "
I am going to be sick, I can't stand sucking up... but if I suck up to her... and become the class pet... then maybe.... maybe.... I can woo her even...
"You didn't have to do that.... but I really..."
The prince grits his teeth.
"Appreciate it..."
