No Strings Attached

A friendly game

Charlie: "But that would have been unfair the the others."

Will: "You think I give a shit about fairness? We're in Hell for crying out loud!"

Charlie sighed. She was disappointed when William revealed that he tried to tamper with the decision-making of the map. Thankfully he failed, but It still disappointed her that he tried. It brought back bad memories of previous events in her life.

Charlie: "Well there is no use in complaining! It might not have been what you wanted but we can still win this."

William stares at her for a moment before sighing at himself.

Will: "Yeah, sorry, that was childish of me, let's win this and get the prize."

Charlie excitedly raises her hands, eager to win the game.

Inside a city church, the two inside were grumbling at each other.

Frank: "I still can't believe I ended up with this bitch."

Vaggie: "I can hear you. You know."

Frank: "Oh, really I couldn't tell!"

Vaggie was fuming, she wanted nothing more than to shoot him herself but she needed to with this game. She didn't trust the others to choose a reasonable activity for next week. Especially Alastor. Knowing him, he already had something planned for next week and she will be damned before she lets that happen.

Vaggie: "Look let's just cooperate for the time being. We need to win this."

Frank: "Nah, I say we shoot each other and get out of here. Satan knows I need a drink after this fuck fest."

Vaggie: "Is the prospect of winning this game not good enough for you?"

Frank: "And piss off two overlords? No thanks bitch."

Vaggie: "Can you tone it down with the profanity-"

Frank mockingly imitated her.

Vaggie was beginning to feel her head throb.

Vaggie: "The thought of beating them isn't tempting."

Frank: "Woman I'm no idiot. Those two are prepared beyond belief. Alastor is a professional human hunter and William is cunning. They became overlords for a reason."

Vaggie: "But we already dealt with their magic."

Frank: "No we didn't, we only restricted them and when have restrictions ever worked on an overlord, plus, it's not magic."

Vaggie: "Yes but we still have a... What's not magic?"

Frank: "Ugh, what do I expect from a sinner? Whatever William is doing ain't magic. I've seen a lot of magic, from hellhound to succubus magic, and trust me, Those strings aren't magic. Alastor on the other hand uses a modified version of voodoo magic and other smaller ones."

Vaggie: "If it's not magic, then what is it?"

Frank: "Hell if I know, doesn't change the fact that we can't win against the fuckers."

Vaggie stayed quiet trying to process what she just learned.

Frank: "Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to go get some drinks-"

Vaggie: "I'll pay."

Frank turns to her confused.

Vaggie: "If you help me win this time, I'll pay for your drinks."

He was quiet for a moment, contemplating her deal.

Frank: "... You're desperate. Why?"

Vaggie: "Do you want them to plan the next week?"
