Valac

— Valac to Lola. (determinant)

**Valac** is a demon in *Afterparty*. He is Onoskelis' auxiliary, and is 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.

## Personality

Valac has a sharp, sarcastic sense of humor and an impatience for people who interrupt his job. He enjoys musicals and dance, referencing the famous New York Broadway threatre Studio 54 and having wanted to be on the Buddy Deane Show "since he was in pigtails."

## Appearance

Valac is a tall, broad demon with ram-like horns who wears a suit and matching pants over a button-down, as well as a golden pin in the shape of *Afterparty*'s logo.

## Background

In college, Valac studied the opera semiseria *La sonnambula*. He used to jog regularly and play basketball at the Y, but currently no longer does.

## Plot

If Milo and Lola decide to pursue Lynda Landon for her V.I.P. invite to Satan's party, they must convince Onoskelis to let Lynda out of her contract for the night so she can attend the party. The two find Ono sitting with Valac in the basement music venue as Blackhouse audition for them. Though Valac initially attempts to dismiss Milo and Lola after they come up, Onoskelis interrupts to let them speak, to Valac's protests. After they explain their situation, Ono tells them to find Lynda a replacement act for the night before warning them to be wary of Lynda's intentions, which Valac can reinforce before walking away.

After Milo and Lola either recruit Blackhouse or the chanters outside, 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. If Milo or Lola fail, Valac encourages them to keep trying and will keep repeating the routine until they beat him. Afterwards, an out-of-breath Valac returns to his seat as Ono agrees to free Lynda up for the evening while Valac sorts out the details. After Ono advises them about how to approach Lucifer before leaving, Valac tells them that he'll remain in touch with them before teleporting away.

## Relationships

* Onoskelis - Valac is Onoskelis' assistant, and handles booking timeslots for Ono's acts. He tells Milo and Lola that he prefers to call himself "executive peon," indicating that he views his job under Ono as tedious labor with little power of authority.
