I hallucinate when you call my name
Got stars in my eyes
And they don't fade when you come my way
I'm losin' my m-m-m-mind, m-m-m-mind
M-m-m-mind, m-m-m-mind
I hallucinate when you call my name
Got stars in my
Hallucinate, Dua Lipa
After exploring the Hotel for a while, Shawntelle found herself on the roof overlooking Pentagram City. She brought up a chair and just watched, despite being Hell there was something beautiful about it. It was a playground, a place to do what you want with little to no repercussions. Shaw remembered how on her way over to the hotel she killed a spider thing with everyone around her either not caring or minding their own business.
'The Lost would love it here' she thought to herself
She pulled her sword off of her back and using a small whetstone she found in her leg-pack started to sharpen her sword, green sparks flew from the sharp edge as she dragged the stone down her weapon, the sword was more than likely sharp enough but a little more wouldn't hurt. Once she was done she began to practice with the sword, most of her moves were derived from fighting with pipe wrenches, sticks, and whatever else the Lost could improvise. Despite the sword being so big Shaw could comfortably use it with one hand
Suddenly the sound of footsteps landing behind her caused her to turn around, her sword pulsing green with a green ball of fire in her hand, she saw a female demon with huge puffy hair and only one eye, which kind of reminded her of Harley Quinn.
"Whoa," She said with amazement "Angie wasn't kidding" The cyclops continued "I'm not here to fight ya, don't worry"
Shawntelle slowly lowered her sword and dissolved the ball of fire for her hand, but kept her guard high.
The mystery lady walked up to her, looking her over "Damn you crawl out of an emo convention or something?" Shaw just glared at her "Hey just kidding, the name's Cherri Bomb" she said while extending her hand. Shaw stared for a moment before looking up at her, not moving a muscle.
'I'm Shawntelle' her eye projected
"Uh, okay..." Cherri lowered her hand before asking. "Is it true you have a hole through your head?"
Shaw took off her eye patch and plug.
"Damn, that's hardcore," she said looking through her head, she then turned to her sword "Nice sword ya got there"
Shaw only gripped the handle tightly causing the sword's blade to shine a faint green. 'Thanks, I guess'
"Hey uhh, my territory is always fought over and you have some nice moves, would you be willing to help a gal out sometime?"
Shaw's eye glowed 'I'll think about it...'
"Thanks, I'll be in touch," Cherri said before leaping off the side of the building. Shaw sat back down on her chair and kicked up her feet to enjoy the view for a bit longer.
Shawntelle woke up the next morning low key dreading what was coming: Dancing in front of a stranger.
She did enjoy music and the occasional dance but only when she was alone and Judging Charlie's personality she could only imagine her taste in music. Shaw got out of bed, took a shower, and got dressed before making her way downstairs. But in order to remain undercover, she needed to play along.
Reaching Charlie's office she saw a note taped on the door, "Meet me at the auditorium, Shawnie!"
Shawntelle open the door to what looked like a small auditorium and saw Charlie wearing workout clothes.
"Morning Shawnie!" She greeted happily
'Hey...' Shaw "said
"You ready?"
'Yeah...'
Charlie looked over at Shaw, noticing her clothing "Uh, do you have any workout clothes?"
Shaw, without saying another word, just took off her singlet, boots, and leather jacket leaving her in just her bra, and jeans, showing off most of her figure.
'No'
Charlie quickly turned away, her face a blushing mess. 'Why's she so flustered?' Shaw thought to herself.
"O-okay... you ready?"
Shaw just gave her a small nod, Charlie pressed play.
(Song: Dua Lipa, Hallucinate)
'Okay, this song isn't too bad..'
Shawntelle was hesitant at first, but she began loosening up as the song continued. Shawntelle tried her best to keep up with Charlie, but she had way more energy than she expected.
"Okay, Shawnie here comes the chorus, just go crazy!"
Shaw in that very moment said in her head: 'Fuck it why not?' And began to go crazy. she summoned her chains and used them like a ribbon dancer, her green fire making quite the light show. By this point, Charlie stopped dancing completely and just watched Shaw, absolutely blown away by the fact that a few minutes ago she looked quite apprehensive, and right now she looked like she was having a great time.
An hour later Shawntelle and Charlie walked out of the auditorium.
"Woo! That was fun!" Charlie exclaimed
Shawntelle's eye glowed 'yeah it was...'
"Okay Shawnie our next activity is in two days"
'See you then'
Charlie walked into her office and Shawntelle began to walk back to her room.
'That was the most fun I've had in years. what the fuck?'
Hello... it's been a while, sorry about that...
