Hello Rosie!

Vaggie, Niffty, Alastor, Angel Dust, Sir Pentious and Husk all sitting in the hotel's lounge.

Niffty: So, like where are your wings?

Vaggie: Niffty, I don't have--

Vaggie's sentence is cut off by Angel Dust.

Angel Dust: Did you ever think maybe she's sensitive about her lack of wings, just like her lack of tits?

Niffty tugs at Vaggie's shirt.

Niffty: Yeah. Where are your tits?

Vaggie blushed.

Vaggie: Any other questions?

Husk: I got one. How come every time Charlie talks to Heaven we get in deeper and deeper shit?

Vaggie: It's not her fault. Angels are just--

Angel Dust: Liars?

Vaggie: ...difficult. But Charlie's trying her best.

Husk: Yeah, well, her best is turning out real well so far.

Angel Dust: And where is miss fearless leader anyway? Isn't it about time for another "doomed-to-fail" plan?

Vaggie: She's upstairs. Coming up with something, I'm sure, in our room. Alone.

Alastor: Hmm.

Alastor vanishes into black smoke.

/////

Charlie was in her bed with Y/N, under her covers softly crying. While Razzle and Dazzle comfort her with Tissues. Y/N was brushing her hair with his hands.

Charlie and Y/N had made love earlier that day, so that's why they were in bed together. Y/N had been trying to comfort Charlie, but to no avail. Both were now dressed in very little clothing, but still covering.

Alastor reappears in her room and approaches her bedside.

Alastor: Oh, Charlie, you look an absolute mess.

Charlie begins to appear annoyed. Y/N looked nervous.

Charlie: Ugh, go away, Alastor.

Alastor sits down on her bed while Charlie hides again under the covers with Y/N.

Alastor: Now, now is that any way to act after picking a fight with all of Heaven and dooming everyone you love?

Y/N: She's...not in the mood for that now.

Charlie emerges from the covers.

Charlie: I have enough on my mind without hearing your sadistic idea of a joke, asshole.

Charlie wraps herself and Y/N under the covers again, only for Alastor to appear laying beside them.

Alastor: Who's joking?

Charlie and Y/N were frightened, and jumped and fell off of the bed.

Alastor: You have a captive audience downstairs waiting to hear what kind of inspiring performance you have planned next.

Charlie was now leaning against Y/N.

Charlie: Ugh, I can't. How can I face them after failing them all so hard?

Charlie hid her face in Y/N's chest.

Alastor repositions himself on his stomach and begins kicking his legs in the air.

Charlie: They came here to be saved and all I gave them was more pain. Y/N was supposed to work for me and go home, now...he's stuck here for good.

Charlie begins tearing up again. Y/N hugged her.

Charlie: I'm just as bad as the cruelest Overlord in Hell. And maybe worse.

Y/N: That's,..a bit much.

Charlie stands and paces back and forth.

Charlie: At least they don't go around giving false hope.

Alastor: Well, I never expected to see such a miserable display of self-loathing from you.

Charlie: Oh, fuck you, Alastor.

Alastor adjusts himself, now laying on his side.

Charlie: All you do is stand there, smiling while you watch us struggle and fail. I don't know how you can enjoy all this suffering so much.

Alastor stands up, wraps his fingers on Charlie's shoulder while chuckling.

Alastor: Just because you see a smile don't think you know what's going on underneath.

Alastor lets go of Charlie arabs Y/N's face with his hand and makes him smile.

Alastor: A smile is a valuable tool, my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control.

Charlie: But I'm not.

Charlie starts walking towards her bedroom window.

Charlie: I'm the farthest thing from in control. The person I trust most has been lying to me for years. Heaven refuses to listen.

Charlie thuds both fists against the window.

Charlie: Even if they did, I can't prove the hotel works. Adam has an invincible exorcist Army pointed right at my doorstep and there's nothing I can do about any of it!

Sinister music plays again and Alastor starts smiling.

Alastor: [in a sing song tune] I know something you don't know.

Charlie: Huh?

Alastor walks over and grabs Charlie's arms.

Alastor: Those big, scary angels are not quite as indestructible as they seem.

Alastor let's go of Charlie and walks away.

Charlie: What are you talking about?

Alastor: Just that you, Y/N, and your little band of misfits might stand more of a chance than you think.

Charlie: How? I'll do anything.

Alastor: Anything? Then... let's make a deal.

Charlie: You... You want my soul?

Y/N: Wait! I'll do it!

Alastor: You already sold your soul.

Y/N: D'oh! Your right.

Alastor: But I didn't want a soul anyway. All I need from Charlie is one itty-bitty favor. What's a favor between friends?

Charlie: I won't hurt anyone for you.

Alastor: Who's asking! One favor, at a time of my choosing, where you harm no one. In return, I tell you what I know. Do we have a deal?

Razzle and Dazzle both growl, Y/N held Charlie protectively, as Charlie puts her hands down to stop them.

Charlie: Deal.

Ominous music plays as both Charlie and Alastor shake hands resulting in a green demon/ghost-like aura flash throughout the room.

/////

The scene cuts to Vaggie, Angel Dust, Sir Pentious and Husk now in the hotel lobby as they observe the flash happen

Vaggie begins heading to her and Charlie's room.

Vaggie: No. No!

Vaggie strains and slams the bedroom door open with her spear in hand.

Alastor: Right on cue!

Y/N: That was...either you know her well...or you were creepily waiting...

Vaggie: What did you do? Let her go!

Alastor and Charlie finish their handshake.

Charlie: Vaggie, Stop!

Vaggie: What?

Vaggie drops her spear.

Vaggie: No, Charlie, please tell me you didn't--

Charlie: I made a deal with Alastor.

Vaggie: Charlie.

Y/N: If it makes you feel better, she still owns her soul.

Alastor: It's true.

Charlie: He gave me info that can save the hotel, but we're going to need help. The angels can be defeated, and Carmilla is the key.

Vaggie: What? Carmilla Carmine?

Charlie: She killed an exorcist in the last extermination. She knows how they can be harmed.

Vaggie: But... I-- I didn't even know that was possible.

Charlie: If you did, would you have told me?

Vaggie: Charlie, I--

Charlie: I need you to go to her, convince her to teach us. If she can, we might have a chance.

Vaggie: With just the seven of us?

Charlie: No, we're-- ugh, we're going to need numbers too.

Alastor reenters the conversation.

Alastor: And I know just who can help. As long as Charlie AND Y/N can be their normal, charming selves.

Charlie: What's that you said about smiles?

Y/N: Me?

Alastor pats him on the head.

Vaggie: Charlie, can we talk about this--

Charlie: We can talk later. Right now, we have a job to do. You with us?

Vaggie: Ugh.

Y/N hugged Vaggie and kissed her cheek.

/////

Vaggie walks down the stairs, only to be met by a confused Angel Dust.

Angel Dust: So-ho, uh...Alastor, Y/N, and Charlie just left like they were runnin' away from their responsibilities. Should we be alarmed?

Vaggie: No. We have a plan, but it includes defending ourselves against the angels.

Husk: Uh- are you fuckin' high?

Vaggie: They can be killed-

Frank: Yeah! That knife lady, Camaro Carfight, killed one.

Vaggie: Wait, you knew about this?

Frank: Uh, yeah. I told Boss about it months ago.

Vaggie: *turns to Pentious* He what???

Sir Pentious: What? They say insane shit all the time! how was I supposed to know this one was true?

Egg Boi: Bank accounts are a scam created by the shadow government!

Sir Pentious: SEE???

Vaggie: (sighs) what's important now is that we're going to have a fight on our hands. Look, this hotel is about to become the most dangerous place in hell, and we....I, can't guarantee your safety anymore. I still believe in Charlie's dream. I know this place can work. But none of you signed up for this. I'm gonna go learn how we can fight back, and when I come home....Well I'll understand if none of you are here.

With that, Vaggie heads out the door, everyone sighing in worry for what she said.

Sir Pentious: Well...This is awkward.

Niffty: 'Kay!

/////

Alastor escorts Charlie and Y/N down the streets as he listens to Charlie, cleaning his monocle in the process.

Charlie: Three years! THREE YEARS I've been sharing my life with her, and I tell her EVERYTHING! My hopes, my dreams, my insecurities, my embarrassing habits, what fucking DEODORANT I like, and she keeps something, like this, from ME??? Why would she lie for so long? Did she think I wouldn't accept her? What about me—me—says un-understanding? misunderstanding dis-under, wait wh-

She pauses for a moment, looking at their current location.

Charlie: Where are we?

Alastor: Cannibal Town! There's a friend of mine I think you should meet.

Y/N: In Cannibal Town? But it's, it's...surprisingly nice here.

Alastor: Isn't it though? and it's all thanks to a very special someone

Alastor opens the door for charlie as they enter Rosie's Emporium, where they meet the Cannibal Overlord herself at her desk speaking to a young woman at the front of a long line.

Rosie: Well who hasn't thought about eating their first husband? I certainly would have if he didn't taste so bad! Hehe, I tell ya what, you bring ol' tall dark and armless to me, and I'll straighten him right out, Okay sweetie? Now here's my card a-

She notices Alastor.

Rosie: Oh, my, stars! Do my eyes deceive me? Alastor?

She makes her way through.

Rosie: Alastor! Where have you been??? These halls really lost some of their sparkle without your lively presence and-

Rosie notices Charlie and Y/N.

Rosie: Oh. Who are these sweethearts you brought with you? Come now, Alastor, they are much too young for you! Oh I'm just kidding. I know you're an Ace in the hole.

Alastor: A what now?

Rosie: But where are your manners mister? Introduce us why don't you?

Alastor: Ahh, yes. Charlie, this is Rosie, the most darling, delightful and dangerous Overlord this side of the Pentagram!

Rosie: Oh! Always such a charmer.

Alastor: And Rosie, it's my pleasure to introduce you to princess Charlie Morningstar. Daughter of Lucifer and heir to the throne of Hell! And her boyfriend, Y/N.

Y/N: How do you do?

Rosie: Well well! isn't this a regal surprise!

Rosie pushes Charlie and Y/N to her desk.

Rosie: Come in! Come in! Can I offer you somethin' to eat? I'm sure I have a leg around here or somethin'. Oh, what am I thinkin'? Small things like you? You're both probably watchin' your figures! How bout some nice pinkie fingers instead?

As she spoke she got out a box of cut off pinkie fingers in little pink wrappers.

Y/N: No thank you.

Though they looked more appealing than most of the food here.

Charlie: Um...No. no, thank you, though.

Rosie: Kh look at you two! So polite! And the boy is sweet and adorable! Alastor, you could learn a thing o' two from them.

Rosie then proceed to take Charlie and Y/N to a table with two chairs. she sits them down in two of them and she sits on the one across from them. Alastor walks up to Rosie.

Rosie: Well, sit down. Sit down. Tell Auntie Rosie what she can do for you. Ya know, Alastor. I got a premo-connect on a guy with about eight blocks of territory and not enough goons to run it. Prime pickin's for a deal to be made, my friend.

Alastor: Appreciate the offer but we're here on business of another kind.

Rosie: well don't keep me in suspense! I'm a very busy woman.

Charlie: Well, as you know...

Y/N: The extermination is coming early. It'll be here in a month, and they're-they're coming for the hotel and my friends first, and I-I-I-I-

Charlie hugged him.

Charlie: What he said.

Alastor: We need your help. Well, your cannibals help at least, to fend off the attack.

Rosie: Wow! When you ask a favor ya don't start small, do ya, your highness? Oh now, don't fret. I didn't say I wouldn't help. But I assume there's more to this plan then a bunch of unarmed cannibals.

Alastor: Oh, your people will be far from helpless when we're done with them. And by the end, they will be able to eat, their, fill.

Rosie: Well, in that case, sure! Why not?

Charlie: Really?

Rosie: What can I say? I like your moxie girl. And old Alastor has never done me wrong before.

Charlie: Oooh! Thank you thank you, thank you!

Y/N hugged Rosie.

/////

Vaggie was at Carmilla Carmine's house, as she bangs on the door.

Vaggie: Carmine! Carmine, we need to speak.

Vaggie walks up to the security camera and stares at it.

Vaggie: I know what you did on extermination day. We can talk about it inside, or I can yell about it out here.

The door clanks open.

Vaggie: Fuckin' right you open that door.

The door slams shut.

Vaggie: Hello?

Carmilla: You have 2 minutes to convince me not to silence you for good.

A spotlight is turned on revealing Carmilla.

Vaggie: Miss Carmine, I'm here on appointment from the princess to enlist your aid in the defense of hell from the angelic extermination. We know an angel fell at your hands and we need to know how.

Carmilla: No!

Vaggie: What do you mean, no? The princess of hell--

Carmilla: Means nothing to me. You have to do better than that. 90 seconds.

Vaggie: With your knowledge, we wouldn't have to helplessly stand by while--

Carmilla: Clearly I am not the helpless one here. 80 seconds.

Vaggie: Well, then why? Why wouldn't you use what you know to fight?

Carmilla: To avoid the very problem you and your little friends are facing right now. I will not invite destruction into my house, on my people.

Vaggie: You think we asked for this? All Charlie has ever done is try to make things better to help her people who, news flash, include your people too.

Carmilla: And how exactly has that worked out for her? 45 seconds.

Vaggie: We didn't pick this fight, but it's here now. And they aren't going to stop with us. You didn't see the look on their leader's face. With us out of the way, it's only a matter of time before they come for the rest of you. They won't stop until all of hell is wiped out, so you can help us make a stand here together, or you can stand alone tomorrow. And what do you think your chances will be then?

Carmilla: You're out of time.

Carmilla jumps down and kicks Vaggie in the face. Vaggie slides on the floor.

Carmilla: Angels attack quickly, viciously, and without mercy. You'll need to defend better than that.

/////

Back to Cannibal Town

Rosie: Cannibals and Cannibettes, assemble in the square.

Rosie and Y/N walk with Charlie to the stage.

Rosie: Now, darling, you know I would do anything, anything for my clients, but I can't exactly command all of Cannibal Town to follow someone else into battle. Now, don't get me wrong, they love carnage and bloodshed, but to get this group into line, you got to win 'em over. Settle in! Settle in! Important meeting.

The cannibals form a crowd around the stage.

Charlie: But how do I--

Rosie: With sparkle! Razzamatazz! and that oh so appealing moxie of yours.

Alastor: Shouldn't be a problem. It's not like you've ever failed to inspire before.

Charlie groans as she walks on stage. Y/N kissed Charlie on her cheek.

Y/N: You got this.

Rosie: Now, fair warning. This group sticks together. So in order to convince any of them, you'll need to convince all of them. And there's one in particular--

Alastor: Uuuugh, Susan.

Rosie: Susan, who's a bit of an... uh--

Alastor: Ornery old bitch?

Rosie: That! She's tough, but win her over and the rest will be easy as pie. Ready?

Charlie: I guess.

Rosie: Everyone, we have a very special, very royal guest this evening! Please put your bloody hands together for Princess Charlie!

Charlie smiles awkwardly and waves at the crowd.

Y/N: Yay...

Y/N nervously cheered for her.

Susan: Booooo! Bring Rosie back!

Charlie and Y/N: Susan?

Rosie and Alastor: Susan.

Charlie: Sorry. Uh, okay, uh, my name's Charlie, and...

Susan and Charlie both speak at the same time.

Charlie: Well, I run this hotel with my part... well someone and...Wait, let me start over. Angels are coming to kill us all and we need help defending our realm. So-- we, uh... we need your help-- With your assistance, we can make a stand for-- [Charlie sings] ♫I...I have a dream♫ and I--

Susan: *Yelling* Booooo! Get off the stage you blue blood bitch! Booo! We don't give a shit about some hotel. Leave before I eat those big ass eyes of yours. Boo! Get off. Where's the showmanship? Where's all the finesse? Fucking mediocre!

Charlie: FUCK YOU YOU OLD BITCH!!!

Y/N: Oh dear...

Rosie: Okay! We'll be back after a brief intermission.

Rosie moves Charlie away from the stage,

/////

Cut back to Vaggie and Carmilla fighting. Vaggie is slammed onto a pillar but then starts charging at Carmilla. Carmilla kicks Vaggie onto the floor. Vaggie gets up and starts charging again. But again, Carmilla kicks her onto the floor. Vaggie gets up and just barley points her spear at Carmilla before being kicked onto the floor again.

Vaggie: Fuck! Ow!

Vaggie gets up, only to be kicked yet again. She strikes at Carmilla twice but she dodges both times and kicks Vaggie again.

Vaggie: Come on, what is this?

Carmilla: You want me to teach you how to beat angels? That's what I'm doing.

Vaggie: By beating the shit out of me? I'm not used to fighting with long hair.

Carmilla: By showing you the flaws in your own fighting style. Yours and all your sisters'.

Vaggie: Wait... you know I'm an exorcist? How?

Carmilla: You have a giant X over your eye and wield an angelic spear. It's not rocket science. Before you found out about me, did you know angels could be harmed?

Vaggie: No.

Carmilla goes to kick her again but this time Vaggie dodges. She goes for a knee kick, and it hits.

Carmilla: That shows in how you fight. You leave yourself open with every swing. You fight like someone unafraid of harm, and this is what you'll take advantage of. Angels wield no shields, little armor and fight with reckless abandon. Strike them here, here, and here.

She kicks Vaggie in the face 3 times.

Vaggie: Argh! With what? Some secret weapon of yours?

Carmilla: Stupid girl, are you really so dense you don't realize you're holding the answer?

Vaggie: Angelic weapons? It's that simple? How has no one else figured this out?

Carmilla: Angelic steel isn't common, and those who have it aren't exactly rushing off to test it against exorcists.

Scene cuts to a flashback with Carmilla and her daughters, rushing home, trying to avoid exorcists. But as they are running, they get caught by 3 of them.

Carmilla: When my daughters and I were cornered in that last extermination, I tried to buy time for my girls to flee, and well... You don't become an angelic arms dealer without arming yourself first.

One of the exorcists flies in the air and charges at Carmilla. She then jumps in the air. The angelic steel blade on her boots sparkle, as she falls down and uses the blades to cut the exorcist's head off

The scene cuts back to Carmilla and Vaggie as Carmilla begins to sing Out For Love.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Vaggie jumps into the air when suddenly, she grows a new pair of Angel wings.

Carmilla: Well, look at that. You might just survive this.

Vaggie: We're going to need more weapons.

/////

Back to Rosie, Y/N, and Charlie. The former takes the latter to her room.

Rosie: Alright, what has you so out of sorts, Darlin? Ya clearly got more on your mind than angels

Charlie: What do you do when someone you love lies to you about who they are?

Rosie: Romance? My specialty! Come on, dearie. Details, details!

Charlie: Our girlfriend is an Exorcist angel, and she never told us.

Rosie: Oh, shit! Quite a secret. How does that make you feel?

Y/N: I want to understand, but I'm also hurt.

Charlie: Just, angry, because we share everything, because she always supported me, and my ideas, and-and- and now, I don't know whether or not that was just more of the lies! Oh no that's a horrible thing to think! Do i think that?! Yes! N-no. Kinda?

She sits on couch whimpering. She and Y/N hug each other.

Rosie: You said you both love this girl?

Charlie: Yes. Or well, I...yes

Rosie: Have you ever once doubted that she loved you in return?

As she spoke, Rosie sits down next to Charlie, and Y/N, who shake their heads at the question.

Rosie: Well, then what's the problem?

Charlie: She took part in the very thing we've been working so hard to end!

Y/N: She wasn't honestD

Rosie: Well, isn't that silly hotel of yours all about redemption?

Charlie: Yes?

Rosie: Perhaps this girl, was trying to redeem herself too.

Y/N:...I never thought if it like that.

Charlie: She knows better than anyone that i believe in second chances, why not tell me?

Rosie: It can be difficult to admit to things you're not proud of, especially if those things hurt the ones you love. She fucked up, sure. She's flawed. But, hey, who down here isn't? If there's anything I've learned, it's that words are cheap, but actions, they speak the truth. So, what have her actions said?

Charlie: That she believes in me, and what we're doing. Right now she's off learning how to protect everything we've worked for. And, I can't even pitch my hotel right!

Rosie: Well how do you normally explain your hotel?

Charlie: By singing. But that never works.

Rosie: It will work here. Trust me.

Cut back to the crowd. Charlie, Y/N, and Rosie both walk back up on the stage. Alastor hands Charlie his microphone, Y/N gave her a good luck kiss, and Charlie begins to sing Ready For This

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Back at the gates of the hotel. Charlie is coming from the left with the army of cannibals while Vaggie is coming from the right with multiple crates of weapons.

Vaggie: Looks like you had a busy day.

Charlie: You too.

Vaggie: Charlie, I--

Charlie: Hold that thought. Err.. Ah! Me and Y/N got you a souvenir from Cannibal Town.

Charlie pulled out a shrunken head. Y/N gave it to Vaggie. Vaggie gasps and has an apologetic expression. She goes to hug them both.

Vaggie: Oh, you two.

Y/N: The wings are new. They look nice~.

All three walk into the hotel, as they find Angel Dust, Nifty, Sir Pentious, and Husk all working on defenses for the hotel together

Sir Pentious: Come along, let's put some effort into these fortifications.

Angel: Yeah, fortify that... Well, look who decided to show up. We thought we were fightin' by ourselves.

Vaggie: You're... you're still here?

Sir Pentious: What? Do you think we're a bunch of pusssssies?

Husk: I just got used to you guys. I ain't finding no new drinking buddies.

Niffty: I've named all the stains on the carpet. That one's Fred.

Y/N: Cute?

Charlie: Well, looks like we have a lot of work to do.
