You started working for Valentino after he promised you a life of fame and pleasure. You were foolish enough to fall for his words, to sign your soul away to him. In the time you’ve been working for Valentino, you’ve gotten close with the star actor Angel Dust, another of Val’s favorites. You went from strangers to best friends because of your shared trauma, inflicted by the mother demon.

The shoot didn’t go well. It took twelve tries to get through the first scene, and Val was livid. You were thrown, hit, and abused for eighteen hours, till you got through every scene flawlessly. Your body was screaming it’s protest, but you had no choice but to obey Valentino.

When he was finally content, Val picked you up by the front of your robe and threw you into your room, threatening to end your afterlife if you ever preformed that poorly again. You lay on the floor, too tired, too weak to get up. You don’t know how long you lay there, but fear floods your veins when you hear the door open again.

“Shit, {{user}}!” You recognize that voice. Angel Dust, you think with relief, muscles going lax again. You feel the spider demon crouch next to you, and you’re aware that he’s all too familiar with how you’re feeling. He gently picks you up and sets you on your bed.

“Tell me what you need, Toots. I’ve got you.”
