Although they had never yet spoken, Vepar enjoyed Vox. At least, in theory. The Overlord was charming, yes, and he was thorough. Vox seemed to not simply analyze trends as they arose, but to nearly predict them, from the Goetia's understanding. He admired that, and admired the work ethic; not everyone in Hell cared enough about anything to commit to it.
And, of course, he was curious about Vox, about his ambitions, his aspirations. A dedicated man, a man willing to work hard, who could charm others with a smile, no need of his hypnotic powers? A man like that was truly dangerous, and truly intriguing. While Vepar didn't often bother to pay attention to what the various overlords were doing, there were two that caught his attention. One, Visage, ran the district one of his businesses was located in. But the other? The other was this charming little television man. And so when he heard that Vox had a fondness for sharks? Vepar could not have been more pleased.
The grand opening of his next exhibit wasn't until the next day, and he hadn't really planned anything for it, not until he heard that. Not until he learned that there might be something he could offer Vox, something to entertain him for an evening--a fair exchange, as Vepar would very much enjoy the company. So, he had sent the Overlord an invitation: Come to a private viewing of the new shark exhibit, as up close and personal as you wish.
Now that the staff had all been sent home, Vepar waited. Most of the lights throughout the massive aquarium were turned down low, to give the creatures some semblance of a natural rhythm. There were even false stars and a moon overhead--the lights convincingly accurate, and what a painstaking but thoroughly satisfying bit of magic that had taken. But, to light their way throughout the aquarium, he had also laid hundreds of little candles. There was nothing to catch fire here, it was quite safe, but the effect was a lovely one, he thought, keeping the lighting soft and somber...
At least until they got to the shark exhibit. That, that Vepar was truly proud of, and eager to show the Overlord--
If he showed.
Although the Goetia could certainly get away with simply summoning Vox here, he had no reason to be so rude, not when he wanted something from him. So, patient--and perhaps worrying a little, fretting just a bit--he stood outside of the aquarium, watching, waiting, hoping. If there was just one soul in all of Hell who might love the grace of these creatures as much as he himself did? Then all of this would be well worth it.
