Blackhouse

— Peyton and Berinon after their unsuccessful audition with Onoskelis.

## Peyton and Berinon

**Blackhouse** is a musical duo consisting of a human named **Peyton** and a demon named **Berinon** in *Afterparty*. They are met by Lola and Milo should they choose to pursue Lynda Landon over Fela for an invite to Satan's house party on Welkin Way, and are one of the two potential musical acts that can be chose to replace Lynda, the other being the chanters.

## Personality

Peyton and Berinon are arrogant in their musical abilities; Berinon can state that they feel that they're advanced enough talent-wise to be affording "weird aquariums" and exchanging for "limousine motorcycles." Berinon dislikes doing taxes, to the point where he prefers not getting paid for a potential gig with Ono if it means less to fill in on his 10 99. In their initial audition song for Ono, "I Get Mine", Peyton's verses complain about how the state of the world makes it impossible for long-term happiness and the recent push for diversity in movie protagonists, while Berinon's verses focus on how he deserves to be treated better by his friends and reminiscing on the social norms of the past.

## Appearance

Peyton is a human man with brown hair, a mustache, and a goatee. He wears a black shirt, a blue-and-purple jacket with gold and silver accents as well as two large emeralds on its front, and black pants. He has tattoos on the back of each hand and wears multiple items of jewelry, including a chain around his neck depicting the word "B" and two rings per hand holding yellow and pink gems.

Berinon is a short demon with glowing yellow facial features who wears a red buttoned shirt with a black collar, a pink and yellow jacket with patches depicting winged figures, and brown pants, as well as a silver chain around his neck holding the letter B.

## Plot

If Milo and Lola decide to pursue Lynda Landon for her V.I.P. invite to Satan's party, they will find Blackhouse in the Durdy Hurdy Gurdy's music venue, advertising their latest mixtape downloadable via code on Bicker before launching into their audition for Onoskelis and Valac. Milo and Lola can choose to either interrupt the performance (causing them to become incensed before later being dismissed by Valac) or let them finish their entire rap before exiting the stage.

After being told to recruit an act to replace Lynda for the night, Milo and Lola can find Peyton and Berinon seated near the bar's entrance and choose to ask them to perform. If they make the wrong dialogue choices, Peyton and Berinon will reject their offer, forcing Milo and Lola to ask the chanters outside; if they make the correct ones, Peyton and Berinon will accept the offer and agree to meet them downstairs.

Ono decides to have Valac and either Milo or Lola perform a dance routine alongside the performers in order to get a picture of how the performance will look like. After they eventually succeed, Ono drops Peyton and Berinon through the floor and concedes that their performance was better than she expected, agreeing to let them perform in Lynda's stead for the night.

Much later on, after completing Asmodeus' quest, Blackhouse texts Lola to let her know their gig has finished, to which Lola can either reply positively or negatively:

> "Yo yo yo, just wanted to let you know that we just finished our set at the Durdy Hurdy. We really appreciated the gig, Lolo! Thanks again! PEACE!"
>

## Relationships

* Onoskelis - Peyton and Berinon desire to impress Ono with their performance and get her to become their manager; after their unsuccessful audition, Berinon tells Peyton that he hopes they'll get another chance in the future. However, Peyton is aware that Ono would never pay them for a gig, as "the profits flow the other way."
