    Summary

    At least Vox still has claws and teeth, if nothing else. He puts them to good use, slashing and snapping at any limb or phalange that comes too close. Blood bursts on his tongue, reminding him that he’s a predator, even if he’s been caged in a powerless, pathetic body that is the direct consequence of his own actions. He manages to tear something off one of them before he’s pinned down on his back and listens in horror to his screen crack.

    “What’s this?” a terrible, miserable voice asks in the most infuriating accent imaginable. “Why, is that the former CEO of VoxTek?”

    Vox thrashes against the hands holding him down and decides he’d much rather die than hear another word. Alastor, naturally, doesn’t oblige him.

    “Yes, it is! Hello, Vox!” Vox manages to raise his hand from beneath the melee and flip Alastor off. “It’s lovely seeing you, too, old pal.”

    “Did we invite the Radio Demon to this?” the demon sitting on Vox’s legs asks. “I don’t remember inviting the Radio Demon.”

    “Well, nobody had to invite me.” Alastor materializes next to Vox’s head, though he’s tricky to see from this angle. “You see, that’s my idiot box – I’m the only one allowed to break it.”

    Summary

    Alastor had meant to walk to the butcher’s for a prime cut and had only found himself more likely to do the butchering, and even then he could feel a hum under his skin that wouldn’t be satisfied from carnage alone. His frequency is changing stations every other minute, skipping like someone is spinning his dial just to hear the static of a too fast switch.

    This itchy, restless feeling persists despite all the best outcomes falling straight into Alastor’s blood soaked hands.

    Alastor had everything he wanted: his soul, his power, and a barrel full of fish to shoot. Deep down, he wonders if maybe he hadn’t completed that list, if maybe there was one more obstacle to tackle to finally check all the boxes, and comes up empty.

    He had everything he’d dreamed of for a century, and he didn’t want it.

     

    Or, Alastor is bored and restless, Vox is sad and in a mid-afterlife crisis, and Lucifer gets his arm twisted and his "No Alastors" sign disrespected.

    Summary

    “Good cooking comes from the heart!” Charlie had told them all after the group cooking disaster, her guileless eyes bright and fingers spread wide in emphasis. “It’s about taking all the love you feel inside and sharing it with the people closest to you. It’s about caring!”

    Alastor had laughed and laughed and laughed because his cooking is exquisite, and he had nothing in his chest but buzzing static and dead air and the cold skeletal lattice of a radio tower. “Don’t be ridiculous,” he’d said, utterly confident and completely unaware of the suffering that was to come. “Good cooking doesn’t come from something as trite as love. It comes from hunger.”

    Or: Alastor cooks for the hotel.

    Summary

    Alastor was missing for a while after facing Adam, and once he appeared again, he acted right as rain, suit fixed and wounds healed.

    Where did he go? And why did no one worry over his supposed "death"?

    or,

    Alastor goes to Rosie after his breakdown to get his suit fixed, and they have a small talk. Not a lot is accomplished.
