Down in the underworld, Hades sits in his chair. It was a large stone throne, adorned with skulls in various key places. With his chin in his hand, Hades ponders something. The god was deep in thought...he had spent so much time planning...so much time plotting...that right now, he has come up short for a small minor detail...but at the same time it could be devastating if they didn’t get something done.
In front of him were Pain and Panic, two devils who served him faithfully, if not incompetently, in all things. Hades ran a smooth operation, his minions often got to address him respectfully, but causally too. Right now as one the more casual sessions, Hades was leaning back, while Pain drank from a slurpee cup. Panic was leaning back on a footstool that Hades had abandoned for the moment.
“How about the Hel Entertainment Network!” Panic chimes up first, “HEN for short. That’s catchy.”
“HEN? Seriously, do we wana be compared to a bunch of chickens?” Hades asks the two, before Pain pops into the form of a Chicken. Hades was amused by this enough to not light Panic on fire. Causal, but Hades was known for his hot temper.
“I was thinking, WHEL, see that’s catchy,” Pain comments.
“Eh...good, but that’s really for a broadcast network. Chump change. This is going to be /interdimensional/. We gotta think BIGGER guys. BIGGER.” Hades says, making a square with his fingers.
“Hmm...well, maybe if we call it...Hades Entertainment Network?” Panic pauses... before combusting into flame, thanks to the irritated Hades.
“THAT STILL SPELLS HEN YOU IMBECILE!” Hades’s body erupting into red flames for a moment, clutching the ends of his throne. However, as always, he chills, makes little calm motions with his hands, “Alright...alright. On track here...We gotta come up with a name with this.”
However, a spectre behind them speaks up, “You’re missing the obvious here. Tartarus Network Television.” The spectre continues to hover there, a unshaped ghost, causing Hades to turn around.
“TNT...THERE we go! Explosive television! Great! Glad I thought of it.” he say, and looks towards Pain. “Who is this guy?”
“Uh...let me see....” Pain flips through some notes and then... “OH! Here we go. His name is Spook? He signed up for being the quality control analyst. We ended up not hiring him because he was too...strict with content. Like. Everything wasn’t approved by his standards. Then you fired him.”
Hades remember suddenly, “Right! That guy. Well, back in you go!” he says, motioning to Pain and Panic to deal with the ghost.
“But...I gave you..” Spook complains...
“Gave me what? I came up with the name, right boys?”
“Yup!” Pain and Panic agree as they drag the ghost back to the pit of the dead.
“Nooooooooooo!”
