[The ball was a mess in certain ways, but Vox is once again stubbornly pretending none of the negative shit went down. Denial and avoidance is how he copes. When he's alerted to his visitor, he wonders whether it has to do with their card game.
Thankfully, he's already on the first floor, so he doesn't have to teleport into the lobby. He'll walk there, entering from one of the hallways.]
Hey, look what the cat dragged in! [Ha ha, he's so funny]
If you have a moment, I actually have a business related question to ask you. I know you did all kinds of techy shit back home, but would a biometric lock be something that you could make here?
[Now there's a question Vox wasn't expecting. He does work on commission, that's not the issue here. It's just the combination of the product itself and who's asking that's got him surprised.]
Biometric? What, like... A fingerprint lock? Or iris scan, or...?
Fingerprint's probably easier. Well. hm. Maybe not. Unless it works with, well, paws. [He looks at his hands a bit wryly]
So, what I'm looking for is a way to lock the back door that's easy for people who belong there to get in, and hard for people who don't. I hate keys. I keep dropping them, and I'm sure I'm going to be going back and forth all the time with crap in my hands, and I'd rather not have drunks wandering around the living space.
[It honestly isn't personal for anyone, he just wants privacy in people's living space.]
For demons with animal traits, the nose is actually easier half the time. It's more distinct. Doesn't work for demons like Angel Dust though. Or His Majesty.
[Trust him, he did the research back in Hell. Biometrics is just a pain in general to work with when there's so many different body types, and some have the bio portion taken out.]
But if we're talking about giving access to ten different people, why bother with biometrics? Why not just put up a padlock with a number passcode?
Good point. Hard to have a nose print when you're lacking a nose.
[He thinks for a moment, weighing options.]
I'd thought of that, but if my arms're full of stuff, then doing a number padlock could be a problem. Maybe I'm overthinking it and I'm just used to Hell people getting wherever the fuck they want.
If your arms are full of stuff, a biometric lock's gonna be a problem too, 'cause you need to tell it to start scanning either way. Unless it's all kitted out with motion sensors and the door opens automatically. Don't get me wrong, I could try making all that for you, but it feels kinda... [He waves a hand idly.] -severe for a bar, if you get what I'm saying.
I've always been the logical one. You've just been hanging around a certain Radio Demon for so long, you lost sight of that.
[Maybe it's more accurate to say that Vox instantly becomes an idiot around Alastor and that's why Husk lost sight of it, but... Semantics.]
You want the easiest, cheapest solution? Get someone else to go with you when you're doing a supply run. Angel's got four hands, at least one of 'em can open the door for you.

In person, about a week after the ball
Once he gets there, he just leans against a wall in the lobby, waiting, body language bored.]

[As much as Husk privately thinks something like that would be freaking awesome, Vox is right, it's not really needed.]
