Satan stood in the corner of the room, hunched over holding a shaky camera, across the couch sat the confused looking Lorb.
In the distance, a fireplace crackled, a few bookshelves stood along the red walls in the poorly lit room.
"Dude... what's your problem?" asked Lorb.
"Your special,"
"I may be, but that's not relevant," Lorb replied coldly.
"I'm recording your special, you're one of the winners of the beach-episode poll," Satan exclaimed.
"With this special camera! It can change the point-of-view of a chapter, pretty cool, eh?"
"..."
"Oh shit! People actually voted for me!?" Lorb asked in amazement.
"Yeah, I mean... the dog has you beat, but still!" exclaimed Satan.
"Still, why are you doing the special?" asked Lorb.
"You see, I've made a metaphorical deal with the devil with MrBadWithNames!" Satan exclaimed smugly.
"What?! What could you possibly want, you're literally a god!" Lorb demanded crossing his arms.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Satan waved his finger before Lorb.
"Isn't it obvious? Screentime!" he replied.
Lorb let out a long sigh as Satan have the camera a thumbs up.
"So, tell us about yourself, Lorb!" Satan instructed placing his right eye to the camera.
"Ehh... I'm Lorb... I'm around thirty years old... and... uhhh..." he shrugged.
"Lorb! This isn't an AA meeting! GIVE ME SOME PASSION!" Satan exclaimed.
"What do you mean? Is my special a QnA?" asked Lorb.
"Perhaps..." Satan replied.
"Don't worry, I have a plan for later!" Satan assured Lorb.
"Fine just ask me a question already!" Lorb demanded.
Satan rolled his eyes.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"Alright! Question one!"
"A very popular question in the isekai-land directed at you is...-" Satan cleared his throat.
"AAH! OH GOD WHY?!"
"Pass..." Lorb said lazily.
"Alright! Question two, where are the other scientists?" asked Satan.
"Dead," Lorb replied.
Satan sat down on the carpeted ground crosslegged.
"Ok... how about you tell us about how the two of us met!" Satan offered.
"Pass..." Lorb shrugged.
"Then I will tell the tale of-" Satan was cut off.
"ALRIGHT! I'll tell them!"
Lorb cleared his throat and looked into the camera.
"I entered this universe with no idea where to go from here, Satan's universe was next-door so he visited me and helped me make this world, that's all," he explained.
"That's not all..." Satan said in a teasing voice.
Lorb sighed.
"And he helped me destroy the ruins of the last inhabitants of this universe before I build my one over it," he relented.
"That's right!" Satan said shooting Lorb finger pistols.
"Question three, why would you not visit the world you made?"
"Ehh... well, right now the world is all about developing civilization and whatnot, kind of boring is you ask me," he explained.
"I might drop an OC into the world in the future to screw around, maybe act as a villain for fun or maybe a hero," he shrugged.
"Question four, is it true that your design is just a less traumatized Kevin?"
"Pass."
"You can't pass every question!"
"Watch me! Pass!"
Satan let out a sigh as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "Let's see..."
"I have a pie-eating contest planned!" Satan exclaimed looking over to Lorb.
"..." Lorb looked at him with a look clearly stating he wasn't interested.
"..."
"..."
"Come on, work with me, man!" Satan pleaded placing his palms together as if he was praying.
"Dude! Cut it out!" Lorb exclaimed.
Satan crawled over to Lorb, grabbing onto his leg.
"Don't do this to me, man, this is my only shot at getting any screen time!"
Lorb looked down and the pitiful sight and began shaking his leg to get Satan off.
"LET GO! You're getting snot and tears on my trousers!"
"C-Come on bro! We're friends, right?! I just want to show I'm not actually all that bad!"
"Right now you're looking pathetic, not evil, so let go!" Lorb exclaimed kicking satan aside.
In the struggle Satan's camera flew out of his hands, flying onto the ground and craking.
"NOOOO!" cried Satan as he fell to his knees before the corpse of his camera.
"It was innocent!" he said through tears.
Lorb averted his eyes as the sudden feeling of guilt set in.
Reluctantly, Satan stood up, wiping his face with his black hoodie, "Guess that's that..." he said not looking at Lorb as he headed towards the exit.
Lorb let out a sigh upon seeing Satan leave.
"Of course he made a mess before leaving..." Lorb remarked looking at the broken camera on his floor.
He leaned back on his couch, laying on his side and reaching for the now cold pizza left from when Foxly was in the isekai room.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Lorb wanted the focus of this chapter to shift from him.
"Asshole..." Lorb commented.
A few minutes later he stood up from his couch and with the loudest sigh ever known to man, headed towards his door.
He opened it and found himself in a long hallway stretching endlessly in every direction, opposite his wooden door was a blood-red door with a heart with Sat + Lil carved inside.
Reluctantly, Lorb knocked on the door.
Satan opened the door moments later, he stood there in his usual hoodie but instead of trousers he wore shorts, he held a box of icecream in his right arm.
"Oh, Lorb, I didn't expect to see you this unspecified amount of time later..." Satan remarked.
"I've changed my mind, we can do you stupid special chapter..." Lorb exclaimed visibly red-faced.
Satan's face lit up.
"Seriously?!"
"Yeah..."
Lorb was dragged into hell by the hand where Satan spontaneously created a massive table of pies.
"Alright, just eat as many as you can in ten minutes!" Satan exclaimed.
Lorb walked over to the table and began eating as fast as he could.
"While Lorb eats the pies, I will list off interesting facts about Egyptian mythology!" Satan exclaimed doing his best to keep the spotlight on himself.
Lorb consumed a blueberry pie, he was taking his time as Satan started talking.
"The 'Abyss of water' is one of many parts of the 'journey of Ra', where they sail down a river on a boat, they are looked down on by dozens of unknown gods, there are shrines we don't know the purpose of and a massive fucking lion!"
Full, Lorb stopped eating pies and listened to more facts provided by Satan.
"Ra is dead."
"What?" asked Lorb.
"Yeah, Ra is like... dead, they have to resurrect him every day!" Satan exclaimed.
"Huh..."
"Well, this turned into more of a Satan special..." Lorb thought.
Satan burst into laughter.
"Oh! how about we move onto the next stage! The super-smash-hoes tournament!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"...I guess I'll let him have the special..." thought Lorb.
