Hell Corp has always been a little off kilter, but Shroud never expected something like this to pop up, and Fishnet was entirely to blame.
Earlier in the week, a new rank application had been sent off and approved almost completely under the rest of the staff's noses and because of that, they now had a new girl in the Minor Lady rank that was still freshly dead and full of life and chaos.
And, once again, Fishnet was entirely to blame.
As a sort of attempt at meeting new people, many Tempter-ranked Demons within Hell Corp got an email from the new Minor Lady, Sweater, for an "ice-breaker party" in the lobby that had also been approved almost completely without The Absolute's knowledge. The message detailed something vague about everyone getting to know each other and how everyone should be able to work as a team so there would be team-building excersizes and... Incredibly atypical Demon Resources keywords about how everyone should get along well.
The lobby was set up with refreshments and all kinds of goodies, a set of tables with brightly-colored tablecloths were lined up around the room with delicious-looking snacks and goody bags with God-knows-what in them. It was definitely over the budget of a typical company-supplied meeting.
And there Sweater stood, setting everything up to make sure it was all perfect and ready 30-or-so minutes before the scheduled stating time. She turned to look around the room, smiling warmly at those who had gathered already (your typical NPC-type Tempter-rank characters being among them).
"This is going to be amazing~!" She squealed, the zipperpet under her skirt swaying like a content cat tail, "I can't wait 'til everyone gets here!"
Somewhere, Fishnet is laughing so hard he probably fell out of his chair.

The email invite came as a surprise to Shimapan. At first she cursed herself for not thinking of just sending in a rank up application and hope it worked. Since Sweater beat her to it, she doubted a similar oversight could happen twice. Then she realized what a good chance this could be. Based on the email, the other demon seemed sweet, but gullible. There would be some value in getting a naive higher up wrapped around her finger.
So, she arrived to the gathering with a fake smile and cheerful disposition. Shimapan quickly grabbed herself a drink before walking over to Sweater.
She waved before she spoke, "Hi! Are you hosting this little party? The decorations look great!"

Sweater nearly clapped with glee when Shimapan entered the room and pattered up to her with excitement.
"Yes, it was! I'm Sweater~" She introduced, looking up at the blue demon as her eyes practically sparkled, "What's your name? I'd love to get to know names first before we get started!"
She seemed to remember how to interact properly with people and held out her hand for a handshake. Her "tail" was swishing almost violently.

Shimapan took Sweater's hand and gave her a friendly handshake.
"My name's Shimapan! I'm actually new as well, so I'm just so happy somebody threw something like this! It'll be a great chance to meet new people," she responded, trying to match the other demon's cheerfulness. Once she finished speaking, Shimapan looked Sweater over. She was essentially checking her out, but it was subtle. Sweater met her criteria for being attractive, and Shimapan certainly wouldn't be troubled by spending more time with her.
Her mind wandered to some of the benefits a friendship could have. This seemed like it'd be nice for her.

While Dress Socks was leaning his black office chair back from the work computer to stretch out his back from doing computer work all day, his computer screen shows a flying email that said, "You got mail". He click on the mail to see what it is and it was an invite to a "ice-breaker party" in the lobby. He was surprise that he was invited and it made him feel joy inside his demonic heart. He never got an invitation from Hell Corp before and this is the perfect opportunity to make new friends in the lobby.
While finishing up his computer work and headed to the lobby with a smile on his face. Dress Socks entered the lobby and look at all the decorations that was there and he was impress by it. The decoration looks lively and the foods look decent to eat. He collected three celery sticks, two red cherry tomatoes, and three chocolate cookies with ranch dressing on the small plate.
Looking around the room, he spotted two girl demons talking to each other. Since he doesn't know either of them, it's perfect for him to start new friends. He walks over to them with food on his left hand and waving his hand on his right before speaking in his smooth tone, "Hello fellow co-workers. I say, this place look very decent and lively with wonderful decorations. May I ask who created this splendid party and may I ask your names?"

Sweater giggled in agreement with Shimapan, swaying a little in a happy manner. How was this demon even over the age of 20?? She also was oblivious to the subtle check-out... Like she was most other things, honestly. Back to reality, girl.
She spotted Dress Socks and waved to him, offering him a hand for a shake as well.
"It was me, Sweater! I spent a lot of time planning this out so I could get maximum co-operation!" She said, tapping her finger on her chin momentarily, "I'm a new Minor Lady, so I really wanted to make sure everyone could have a good time. Bright decorations mean bright smiles!"

"I couldn't agree more." Dress Socks looks at Sweater's hand and gave her a friendly handshake.
"It's delightful to have you here, Sweater." He lets go of her hand and put his right hand on his left chest and bowing down, slightly to her. "Allow me to introduce myself, my name's Dress Socks." He looks at her with a smile. "I'm new around here and I gotta say, seeing all this decorations that you've put up for maximum co-operation. You'll have everyone here a good time!" He gave her a thumps up.
"You made this demon happy and thank you so much for the invite, Sweater."

Shimapan looked Dress Socks over as he walked over to join them. She preferred one on one situations, but certainly didn't mind too much. She gave him a wave and turned towards him.
"Nice to have someone else who's also new join us," she said. "Great to have to you here Dress Socks! I'm Shimapan. It really is nice that Sweater threw a party like this isn't it?"
Like Sweater, she was reading him as a social person. She wasn't aware of his rank so she was currently contemplating if working with him, or getting him under her, would be worth it or not.

Dress Socks turned towards Shimapan and happily wave back at her with a smile. Nice! Not only that he got the name of the Minor Lady, but also the sweet blue girl demon name. The more the merrier!
"Ah yes." He answers her. "Sweater, did a fantastic job at putting decorations up and throwing this party for all the Tempters to enjoy." Dress Socks looks around the room and points at the good stuff that he saw so far for positive feedbacks. "The tablecloths are so brightly-colored that it feels like summer again, the snacks looks so delicious that it makes my taste buns tingle for more. Including these red cherry tomatoes, they're to die for!" He grab one from his plate and pop one inside his mouth, chews it, and swallows it down with ease. "Lastly, those small goody bags are so decorated that I can't wait to see what's inside! But I'll save it after the party's over." Dress Socks walks over to the table, grabs one for himself, walks back to Shimapan and Sweater, and place it on the table next to him.
"As a Tempter myself, I say this is a splendid party! Also, it's a pleasure to meet you, Shimapan."

Sweater wiggled a little at the compliments, thanking them over and over again for them. She was so happy to have some friendly demon company, considering some of the other NPC-types were a little put off by her forthcoming behavior. She nearly skipped over to the goody backs and handed them to Shimapan and Dress Socks.
"It's so wonderful to meet some new Tempters! We're all new here, so I think we'll get along just fine!" She said, perky as before, "Here, take the bags for now~! I think I made enough. They're just filled with some home made treats and other good stuff."
She peered across the room to see if any more demons where arriving. It would be starting fairly soon, so she could only hope they'd arrive soon as well.

"Sweet! He said in his joyous tone while receiving goody from Sweater.
"Thanks so much for the sweets, Sweater. I can't wait to try it and share this with my family when I get home." Dress Socks open up his bag, took out a chocolate chip cookie, and took a bite out of it. Tasting the sweetness of chocolatey goodness and swallows it with ease. "Mmm...chocolate." He said in his satisfying tone. While finishing up his cookie, he looks back at Sweater with a smile on his face.
"Yes we will." He said, giving her a thump up, "We'll get along just fine." He was so happy that he came to the ice-breaker party and making new friends. It makes his demonic heart pump in joy. He looks at the two girls and thinks it's time to give something back in return. In a token of having new friends.
"Say, Sweater. Speaking of sweets..." He reach down his left pocket and pulled out his lunch bag that was filled with six colored lollipops. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. "Since you two are my new friends and so sweet to me, would you and Shimapan like a lollipop?" He question them and let them decide their favorite pops.
