Catching Up
On the door is a little hanging plague that reads. "Welcome to Hell"
"Evening Lilith! You're looking primordially evil tonight!" says a familiar face...well kind of. She's a well-adorned lady, with gilded, brightly colored attire, and a magnificent headdress adorned with dried flowers and gold. She's got fantastical colorful makeup on her face...though she has no skin. She is a skeleton.
"Why thank you, Santa Muerta! I've got big plans tonight." you exclaim as you greet her. "You're always looking deadly yourself, by the way!"
"And is that my favorite mortician back there?" you ask looking at a dog-faced man clearly focused in his work. He is weighing hearts that come through a conveyor. He has dark skin, and a the fittest physique of anyone in the department.
"Lilith!" he exclaims as his long pointy ears perk up. "How good it is to see you! "
In the distance, you hear a bellowing growl. As you get closer, the growls turn to excited barking, and you are jumped upon by a tail-wagging dog and his three heads.
"CERBERUS! Get down!" cries an exasperated voice.
"HADES!" you exclaim. "Good to see you, old buddy, old pal! Tell me, how's my girl Persephone doing?"
Hades calms down realizing you're not mad, "Ahhh she's well."
"Keeping you fit, I see?" you jab at his boney gut.
"Ahh you bet...Lot's of veggies in my diet...rarely lets me have any sweets anymore," he tells you, looking slightly sad.
"LILI!" you hear from across the office. "Is that you? Oh Christ, I'm late aren't I? I am so sorry."
Your husband runs up to you, and embraces. "Don't worry," you assure him. "It was nice to catch up with some old friends! You ready to go?"
As he joins you, Lucifer yells out to his coworkers, "Ok guys, Employee 666 is outta here! Have a good night!"
