"Well Charlie... this parties actually pretty fun..." Angel Dust admitted as he watched Cherri and Vaggie dance together, their dancing was absolute shit but they seemed to be having fun.
"I mean, it's a bit to bland for my taste, but hey! Not bad... We got music, drinks, happy faces... You did good..."
    Charlie smiled "Thanks Angel... Sooo" she cleared her throat and inched closer to Angel
"Have you asked Husk out yet?"
Angel groaned, "Again with that? Charlie, I told ya I don't do all that mushy gushy bullshit..." Angel took a swig of his drink "besides, what makes ya think he'd say yes?" He had a genuinely curious tone, but tried to act as if he didn't care.

Charlie smirked, looking at the residents of cannibal town dancing around and having a good time "I dunno... You two just seemed to be getting close before the battle~" Charlie nudged Angel in the side with her elbow and wiggled her eyebrows "C'mon, admit it!"
Angel snorted and playfully shoved Charlie away "Hey, stop tryna play matchmaker already! Focus on havin' fun tonight!"
Charlie chuckled and rolled her eyes, knowing damn well that she'll break Angel and Husker down and convince them to take a chance... Eventually.

"Speakin' of matchmaking," Angel muttered, looking around with a raised eyebrow "Where's smiles and the short king?"
    Charlie blinked a few times "oh- you mean dad and Al? I don't know where Al ran off to but dad's out on the balcony-..." Charlies eyes narrowed and she looked at Angel with a confused expression "Wait, what do you mean by "speaking of matchmaking"-" Angel held a finger up to shush Charlie "Nothin, don't worry 'bout it. I'll be right back..." Charlie watched as Angel ran off, her mouth hanging open at the implications of what Angel just said, she was about to follow Angel and see what he was up too when Vaggie grabbed her arm and pulled her into a dance, she immediately forgot all about it, now focused on her girlfriend and how gorgeous she looked tonight compared to Charlie.
Charlie was wearing a frilly white dress that faded to red at the bottom and had lacy puffed sleeves, her heels were white with red roses painted on and a fake plastic rose on the strap, but her beauty was nothing compared to Vaggie's, in her opinion.

Angel's heels made a loud clack as he walked down the halls, he saw Alastor walking around earlier but the damn strawberry just disappeared, he knew something was up, Alastor seemed fidgety earlier when Angel was doing his hair, and obviously Angel Dust knew he didn't like being touched, but... He just had a bad feeling...

"Oi! Smiles! The fuck you at?"
    Angel shouted, he's been looking for a few minutes, still no sign of Alastor. It didn't help that he wasn't used to the layout of the new hotel yet, and it was, like, 2 times bigger now.
"Dammit Alastor, I swear to God himself if you went back to your room after all the time me and vagina spent gettin ya pretty-!"
     He cut himself off, taking a deep breath. He was gonna kill that damn strawberry, or die trying, probably the latter of the two.
Angel sighed and stomped upstairs towards Alastors emo ass radio tower, banging on the door.
"Alastor! You in there?"
Angel heard some shuffling behind the door, which confirmed that Alastor was, in fact, in his room.

"Al, open up. You ain't stayin' in here for the whole party."
"I haven't been in here the whole party!" Alastor barked from inside the room.
Angel rolled his eyes "You were out there for, like, 2 minutes, And I barely even saw ya! Are you embarrassed by the makeup or somethin'? I didn't think your masculinity was that fragile"
"MY MASCULINITY ISN'T FRAGILE-" Alastors protests were interrupted with a groan of pain, causing Angel to tense.

"Al...? What's wrong...? Open the door!"
"Nothing- go away! I'll be out in a few moments..."
'Shit.' Alastor thought 'Not now... Why did you have to come now?!'
He just needed to change his bandages before going to find Lucifer, but dammit he hurt...

Angel gritted his teeth.
"Al, open the door before I kick it down."
Alastor knew this was a losing battle, so he gritted his teeth and prepared himself for a lot of annoying questions, and knowing Angel Dust, probably some teasing.
