ANGEL feels his senses tingling....
An order comes in through the UberEats app: mcdonalds, a couple pizzas, a bunch of tacos, and sushi!? Whoever's ordering this must be having a party. And parties also mean big tips! The destination? One Harmonia Iris Reed's house in Meridian, MS.
ANGEL jumped for joy. "Yipeeeeee! I'm gonna get paid like a big boy today!" He clicks his heels, hopping on his bicycle, quickly picking up the order, and RUSHES to the house.
About one minute after from Luna ordering the smorgasbord for Dren, ANGEL arrives at the house. ANGEL knocks. Luna goes to answer it. “Hello?”
"Erm.. Hello.." ANGEL adjusts his glasses, his big BEAUTIFUL eyes glowing in the light, his nice red lipstick shining too. He looked like an ANGEL. "I have your order..."
Luna blushes at the mere sight of ANGEL. "Uhh hehgehe hello ANGEL.. gosh ur pretty omg.." He truly looks like an ANGEL. She stares.
They hear something in the forest. It sounds like a synthesizer.
ANGELs heart thumps out of his chest like in a cartoon. "Woweeeee! Thank you! I made myself look pretty for Bladee, but then he... he.... didnt like it... I'm sorry, I don't mean to traumadump. Here's your order. Have a blessed night. " ANGEL hands Luna the big bag of food.
She’s staring at ANGEL still and her eyes go red.
{- Lunes? Um. Okay lemme just. -}
Luna's eyes go from red to purple. Krystal has tagged in. "Oh hey sorry about Lunes." She takes the bag.
ANGEL smiles at her. Such a pretty smile, with those big juicy red lips. "Have a blessed night. Enjoy your food. What's the occasion? It's quite a lot of food..." ANGEL is suspicious.. He better get topped.
He means TIPPED! TIPPED!
They hear HIM come from the forest. ANGELs hearts skip a beat... Oh no... Oh gee wilikers! "Erhrhrmmm.. Can I come inside? I can hear Bladee coming... he's going to make me.. erm... teetee.."
"Uhhh sure?" She lets him in?
ANGEL RUSHES INSIDE "thanknyoi"
Bladee slams head first on the front door. "I flirt with fate I’m flirty."
Krystal walks inside with her order and lays it out on the table
ANGEL comes barreling into the living room.
"Jeez dude."
Oleander looks at ANGEL in confusion.
ANGELs legs begin to shake, his knees knocking together. "Bladee is out there..."
"Bladee? Sounds edgy as fuck."
Bladee politely knocks on the door.
"Oh golly. That's him!" ANGEL huddles into a ball on the floor, covering his head with his hands. "He won't be able to see me like this!"
Krystal just raises an eyebrow.
Bunbun wakes up from her sugar coma and sits up. “What’s poppin’ y’all?”
Krystal goes to open the door. "Yo. Ya lookin for ANGEL?" She asks with her usual accent.
Insert all the lyrics to Reality Surf here. Bladee is confirming that he is looking for ANGEL.
"Riiiiiight. They're right there." Krystal holds the door open and regrets ordering Uber Eats all of a sudden. Bladee slides in.
ANGEL jumps up, running in place. His legs move rapidly, but he is not going anywhere.
Bladee grabs ANGEL.
"...wow." Krystal says.
ANGEL gulps. "What.. What do you want!!"
"Drain." He drags ANGEL outside.
ANGEL goes limp in Bladee's arms. He is getting dragged.. His makeup is smudging!
Bladee yells the Chuzzle summoning song. The Chuzzle descends. It grabs Bladee and ANGEL.
"You, my Son, have other orders to fulfill." The Chuzzle declares.
ANGEL gulps, tears running down his face. "Please! No! I don't want to be an UberEats delivery man anymore! I want to be free!"
The Chuzzle consumes ANGEL as he flies away. Bladee slides into the forest, never to be seen again.
Back in the Living Room, Krystal and Luna communicate internally.
"Welp. ANGEL is getting drained, whatever that means." Krystal groans.
{"Krystal, you know exactly what that means."}
{- Maybe. -}
"Anyway, it was nice taking over for a bit, see y'all later." And Krystal tags out. The eyes go from purple back to Luna’s usual blue. Luna begins eating the food and contemplates actually tipping since the hot food is still nice and hot and the cold sushi is still nice and cold.
Back outside, ANGEL cries out in pain. He used all of his might to try to fight his way out of the Chuzzle's digestive tract. He fights, but it’s to no avail. He is spat out back at the place where his journey started.
ANGEL is back to the beginning. He will never get out of this loop. He falls into a pit of depression.
The Chuzzle descends once more. "I have granted you immortality for one reason, my Son. So you can fulfill the late night wishes of those who starve. Yet you, unable to look past your selfish need for lust and affection, took it as a chance to find someone. That is not your objective, my Son. You are to carry out meals from place to place."
ANGEL gets a notification! Luna Grey left a $200 tip! Money means absolutely nothing in an apocalypse!
The massive tip has pulled ANGEL from his depression. "Okay Father Chuzzle! I will fulfill my duties once more! I will not fall in love!"
"Good. I expect a tip for your ride back here." The Chuzzle ascends once more.
