Radio Killed the Video Star (HH Episode 2)


We open up on Charlie pacing with KeeKee prancing alongside her. Charlie was in full panic mode as she rants about the early extermination to the others. 

Charlie: Okay. So, the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year! No big deal, just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half, but who needs a whole year to save souls, am I right?! *Starts to panic* And next time when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, right?!

Vaggie grabs Charlie and calms her down.

Vaggie: Yes. We will.

Jesse: Just have faith, mate. We can do this.

Crystal: Yeah, we still got time.

Angel: Oh, please, ya had less then half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now...

Angel hears his phone vibrate and checks to see threatening messages.

Angel:  Ain't no silver lining this time, toots.

Charlie: Sure there is! We just...have to look a little harder for it!

Angel: Well, while you're lookin', the rest'a hell's goin' nuts. *Angel waves his phone in their faces* People are already freakin' out about the news. Look at what's happenin' in the Doomsday District.

He scrolls down an article with the bottom showing a demon screaming in front of a fire. 

Jesse: Crikey. Least it ain't as violent as Wrath.

Crystal: Oh yeah, it gets bloody there.

Suddenly a pink message appears. Charlie gets closer to read it.

Charlie: Err, what is a... "donkey show"?

Angel: Aah, heh, nothin'. My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too. Like I said, everyone's losin' their shit.

Jesse: Your boss is sounding like a fuckin donkey himself the more I hear about him.

Vaggie: *ignoring Jesse* Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?

Charlie: This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!

Crystal: Exactly!

Angel:  Cute idea and all, but you really gonna go out in all of this? *waves the phone with the place still on fire and demons in panic*

Charlie: Well, it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep -

Suddenly, an explosion is herd and blows a hole in the wall.

Jesse: Fuckin hell!?

Outside, a blimp is flying and being piloted by none other then, Sir Pentious and his Egg Boys.

Pentious: Show yourself Alasssstor! Come and face -

Pentious pauses for a moment when he notices Alastor absent from the freshly made hole. Though he see's Crystal and Jesse.

Jesse: Fuckin hell, him again!?

Crystal: How the fuck, do you keep coming back!?

Pentious: Huh? *uninterested* Oh, it's you two. Out of my way, I'm here for the Radio Demon.

The two point upwards to the second floor balcony where Alastor is sipping coffee.

Pentious: Oh, there you are. Face my wrath!

Alastor: Who are you?

Pentious: Who am I? Who am I?! I am the great Ssssssir Pentiousssss! Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villain extraordinaire!

Jesse: Slippery punching bag!

Crystal: Test dummy for bombs!

Pentious: Shut up, you two!

Egg Boy: Ooh! You tell 'em, boss!

Niffty appears on Jesse's shoulder.

Niffty: Ooooooh, he's a bad boy~

Jesse looks at her and rolls his eyes as Alastor steps up.

Alastor: Ha, well if all that's true, you'd think I'd have heard of you.

Jesse/Crystal: Seriously?

Pentious: I attacked you literally last week.

Alastor cocks his head to the side.

Pentious: We've done battle, like... 20 times?

Alastor: Well, you must have been really bad at this.

Jesse: Wow, you're worse then I thought.

Crystal: Yeah, you'd think he'd learn by now.

Jesse: Stubborn, little fucker.

Pentious: *unamused* I swear I will blast you two if you don't shut up. Now cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal.

Niffty: Ooh! Wait, who are the Vees?

Alastor: Oh, nobody important.

Crystal: You sure? Because I'm pretty sure I heard that name somewhere.

Jesse: Most powerful trio in the city.

Crystal: Oh right, them.

Meanwhile at Vee tower, a large crowd stood in front of a store as they watch an advertisement on the TVs facing the window showing off a spy drone.

Ad: New VoxTek designer voyeur scopes. Peeping on the neighbors has never been more stylish. VoxTek! Trust us with your money!

The crowd immediately enters the store and stampedes out with boxes with voyeur scopes. Random people are seen watching their computers laptops and phones with their eyes in a spiral daze, signifying the work of hypnosis.

Ad: This week's episode of "Yeah, I Fucked Your Sister, So What?" is brought to you by VoxTek. Trust us with your entertainment!

Cut to a large room with many TVs showing off numerous consumers as "trust us" repeats and overlaps. electricity courses as Vox stands up from his chair laughing maniacally from his viewer's consumerism.

Vox: Muhahaha! Now that's good television!

His screen-face then suddenly shifts to show an icon of Velvette with a clown horn ringtone going off. Vox waves his hand and moves the call from his face to one of the other screens where Velvette is seen in her studio.

Vox: Hello there, Velvette! How are you this hellish morning?

Velvette: Oh, cut the shit, Vox. I need you up here now!

Vox: Whatever could be the problem, my dear?

Velvette: Your little boy toy is wrecking my department, while I'm trying to pull together a show and-

Behind Velvette, several workers are seen running and screaming while objects are being tossed from off-screen as the third of the Vee's, Valentino, could be heard swearing up a storm.

Velvette: Just get your ass here, NOW! ...Damn it, Valentino!

The call ends, and Vox's smile fades away as he gets up sighing, fixing up his bowtie.

Vox: 'Oh god. Here I go, Valentino.' Just another fucking day with Val. Hey-hey-hey. Fuck my life.

Vox takes an elevator up and comes out in the lobby, where he puts on a smile for the many reporters who swarm him.

Reporter: Mr. Vox! What are your thoughts about the new extermination deadline?

Vox: My dear people! We at VoxTek Enterprises have always been at the forefront of innovation. And now, with this new oncoming threat, we are shifting our focus, to your protection. We are pleased to announce VoxTek Angelic Security is coming soon! Trust us, with YOUR safety.

Vox uses his left eye to hypnotize the crowd the same way as his consumers.

Manager: Uh sir, when did we begin working on Angelic Security?

Vox: Thirty seconds ago.*walks off* Try to get that bitch Carmilla on the books and cancel all my appointments today. I have a fire to put out upstairs.

Vox morphs into electricity and travels through the power stream of a nearby camera. Cutting to Velvette's studio. The staff cleans everything up as she looks to four designers holding up dresses to show her

Velvette: Ugh. No. Unacceptable. You're fired. What is this? WRIST RUFFLES?! Is this 1750?! BURN IT like the witches who wore it!

As the designer walks away, Vox appears next to Velvette.

Vox: Velvette! I can see you're busy. Tell me, where's our hot-headed friend now?

Velvette: Up in his tower, waiting for a flat-faced prince to calm him down!

Vox: *sighs* And uh, what's got him so out of sorts today?

Velvette: Who knows? But he tore up my best model! And you know, the show can't wait for that unlucky bitch to pull herself back together! MELISSA! GET OVER HEER!

Melissa nervously runs onto the platform, and Velvette uses her overlord powers to change her outfit by swiping her hand, one after another until she spots the one she wants.

Velvette: No. No. Hideous. I want to die. Eww. *gasp* Yes! That's the one.

Vox: Ahh, looks like you have everything under control here.

Velvette: Of course, I do! Fuck you! *flips him off* Now shoo! Take care of the piss baby!

Vox goes upstairs and is greeted by two moth demons who open the door for him. Upon entering, he see's a cloud of red smoke and emerging from it in a fit of rage was none other then, Valentino!

Valentino: Fucking FINALLY! *throws drink* Kitty! Another drink!

A feminine looking Robo Fizz bows before walking off and returning with another drink.

Valentino: Ugh! Can you believe what that piece of shit did? THE UNGRATEFUL WHORE!!!

As he speaks, he tosses the drink at Vox, who moves away, making the drink hit the door and shattering on the floor.

Vox: Uh, which whore are we talking about this time?

Valentino: Fucking Angel Dust! *walks up to him* Who the hell else would I be talking about?! *walks past him* That fucking SLUT walked out on me! *turns to Vox* ME! I fucking made him! Without me, he's just a bag of meat with some mildly entertaining holes.

Vox: Oh! Angel quit?

Valentino: NO! He didn't fucking quit! It's worse! He MOVED!!!

Val takes Vox's phone and tosses it at the wall and breaking it.

Valentino: He thinks he can just walk in here, work, and then go home somewhere else? Can you FUCKING believe that?! *walks to closet* He thinks he can run off and shack up with Lucifer's bimbo daughter!

Vox: Angel is... living with Lucifer's daughter?

Valentino: YEAH! That BITCH Chuckie or Chandler, or I dunno- Something mannish like that, she's got this hotel and—

As he speaks, he opens the closet full of guns, drugs, and pictures including a poster of himself. Valentino brings up two long pistol guns: a long revolver and a semi-pistol.

Valentino: *calm* Which of these makes me look sexier?

Vox: Heh. What are you doing, Val? You're not going over there.

As he speaks, his left eye changes to show his simmering anger, but Valentino is busy loading his guns.

Valentino: That slippery twink is gonna remember who owns him. I'm gonna FUCK everyone in that rancid shit hole, I swear to god!

Before he finishes, Vox grabs him by the collar and shoves him to his face, clearly furious.

Vox: *distorted* VAL! *calms down* Hehe. Think about it.

Vox then walks Valentino towards the window, taking away one of his guns and putting it in his pocket.

Vox: Our brand is perfection. And what do you think chasing whores around town will do for our image?

Valentino: Um.....fuck it up?

Vox: Right! Do you want people thinking you can't control your employees?

Valentino: No!

Vox: Exactly! And hey, you still have him under contract. He isn't going anywhere! Sooo...you should...

Valentino: Do nothing?

Vox: Great idea! Now that's why they pay you the *pinches cheek* big bucks.

Valentino: Ugh, but I really wanted to shoot someone!

As he speaks, Valentino gets a cigarette holder, and Vox lights it with his electricity powers.

Vox: Well, lemme call up the lowest earners this month.

Valentino: Ohh, you know me too well. *chuckles and blows smoke*

Vox: While I'm here, there is something else I wanted to discuss. You heard about the turf war that dumb ass, Pentious was involved in?

Valentino: Yeah, I heard he got his ass kicked by an imp and a hellhound. How embarrassing. *chuckles*

Vox: Yeah, but this isn't about him. It's about the two who beat him.

Vox shows the footage of Jesse and Crystal on his face which Val takes interest in.

Valentino: Well now, looks like that fox considers himself quite the showman. Chica Diablo ain't half bad either. Though I could see the two in other roles~

Vox: *chuckles* Okay, let's not get all hot and bothered over them. Admittedly, the girl's magic is a sight to behold. Especially since no imp is seen with that power. It's the hellhound that has my attention. He has a huge following already and he doesn't know it. I bet his shows would sell out quickly. And he's got an interesting ability to control music and bend it to his will.

Valentino: Yes, I can see that. Get to the point.

Vox: I'm thinking we should have him join us. With his power, fame, and musical talent, we'd have a full monopoly on entertainment with his music being sold out.

Valentino: Hmm, I like where this is going. Velvette would certainly love working with another icon. And the things I would do to him~

Vox: So, what do you say?

Valentino: When he agrees, he'll be one of us. Not like he'd say no anyway. We'll figure out what to do with his little imp chica as well. 

Vox: Love the enthusiasm. I heard he's staying at that hotel as well that Angel is at.

Valentino: *frowns* Zorro better keep his hands off him. No one fucks with my property without paying.*calms down and blows smoke* Ya know.... Angel isn't the only one spending time at this ratty hotel with the devil's princesa.

Vox: Oh, who else is there? Someone who owes you money?

Valentino*Chuckles* Someone who owes us much more than money... The Radio Demon is there.

Upon hearing those words, electricity courses through Vox's head and he scratches the desk so hard it leaves scratch marks. Vox made small ominous chuckles before turning to Valentino.

Vox: *distorted* What did you just say?

Valentino: You heard me.

Vox: Alastor...*walks to him* came back...and he is with Lucifer's *glitches* daughter, and that wasn't the *grabs him by the collar* FIRST FUCKING THING YOU TOLD ME!?!?!?

Valentino*frees himself from grip* Hey! killing Alastor is your kink.

As he speaks, he walks to the desk and turns on the television. Vox teleports to the center screen, which is a recording from a VoxTek Voyeur scope high in the sky. The footage shows Pentious being thrashed around by Alastor who is laughing maniacally at Pentious' situation.

Pentious: Arrgh! Oh! Please! Stop!

Charlie: Um...Alastor? I think he's had enough.

Angel: Nah. He's got a few more hits in him.

Jesse and Crystal watched with smiles as they had popcorn and soda. Sir Pentious falls from the zeppelin in front of Alastor, face first on the ground.

Alastor: Thanks for another forgettable experience.

Pentious: Thank you... for letting your guard down!

Using his tail, Pentious managed to rip odd a piece of Alastor's suit.

Pentious: Aha! Yah! Oh, shit...

Sir Pentious looks up to see Alastor's shadow transform in front of him. A massive green explosion is seen as Sir Pentious is sent flying off to the city screaming as he disappears from sight.

Jesse: Thank fuck. I was starting to get annoyed by him.

Crystal: I swear, if he shows up again, I won't hesitate to stab him. *holds up her spear*

Alastor: Well, it looks as though I need a visit to the tailor! Best of luck, chums.

Vaggie: Wait, you're leaving?! Alastor! We need your help! We need you to do your job.

Angel: We need a wall. *points to the hole in the wall*

Crystal: It was already tiring enough fixing the front door when he blasted through here the first time. Jesse and I were exhausted!

Alastor: Of course! Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?! And besides, it would be rude of me to let the young devil darling and bachelor go through that again.

Jesse shrugs while Crystal smiles and blushes a bit. With a snap of his fingers, black ink demons appear with construction tools as Alastor walks away. Angel takes a interest and looks at one of the larger muscular demons, shoving Vaggie away as he walks up to him.

Angel: Hey, sweet cheeks. Whatcha doin' later? I love me a man with a giant ...tool.

Back with Vox and Val, Valentino was scowling at the current events, leaning his face against the screen.

Valentino: See?! Look how he flirts with that guy, and he's not even paying! Who is that? I'm gonna fucking kill his whole fucking family! Vox? *slams his fist on the table* VOX!

Vox however was paying little attention as he was more focused on Alastor and filled with pure rage.

https://youtu.be/WrHp-Ijsv4Q

After a humiliating defeat by Alastor, Vox calls an emergency meeting with Val and Velvette to discuss the matter at hand.

Vox: We have a problem. Alastor is getting close to little princess Morningstar, and not to mention the Rockstar and imp sorceress. So our main concern now is ensuring that no deal is ever struck between Lucifer's BRAT, that fox, the imp lady, and that smiling freak!

Velvette: Well, how exactly are we supposed to stop it?

Valentino: Put something inside them. That's how I get the bitches to behave.

Vox: Well, maybe someone on the inside isn't such a bad idea. Do you think Angel would?

Valentino:  That lanky prick won't even return my calls.

Vox: We need someone who Little Miss Bleeding Heart would take in.

Velvette: Someone...pathetic, desperate, with no direct ties to us?

Valentino: I employ every down on their luck loser this side of Hell. Who the fuck is left?

Vox: I think, I have... JUST the one.

As Vox slowly turns around, the sharks in the shark tank swim up to his shoulders, his right-hypnotic eye gleaming with a sinister grin for a plan he has in store. Back at the hotel, Alastor's black and white demons are currently fixing the hole in the wall as Charlie and Vaggie return. Charlie throws herself onto a couch, exhausted. Jesse was playing a calm tune while Crystal walks out with some brownies.

Angel: Soooo? How'd it go?

Vaggie: *Sighs* Not a single new recruit.

Crystal: Sorry to hear that. Brownie?

She holds the pan up to her as Vaggie grabs a brownie for herself and one for Charlie.

Vaggie: Thanks, Crystal.

Crystal: Anytime! *smiles*

Angel: Yeah well, who would wanna use their last days not fucking and fighting?

As Angel checks his phone, Vaggie hears a knock on the front door. She walks over to it and opens the door, only to find Sir Pentious behind it, holding his hat.

Pentious: Why, hello my dear—

Sir Pentious is cut off by Vaggie punching him in the face. He falls when Vaggie brought out her spear at him. Sir Pentious cowers in fear with the tip barely at his neck.

Crystal: *sighs* I'll get my grimoire. Jesse, call Cherri.

Jesse: *holding his phone* Already got her on speed dial!

Pentious: Wait, wait, wait! I come in peace.

Vaggie: What are you doing here?

Charlie: Guys, what's the problem?

Jesse: The reptiles are invading. *lights a cigarette*

Charlie: *sees Pentious* Oh! Hello again!

Pentious: I didn't come looking for a fight. I uhh.. I heard that you're helping people, people who want to be better?

Charlie lets out another gasp and runs over to grab his hand and lead him to the door of the hotel.

Charlie: You heard right! Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our-

Angel: Are you fucking nuts? This chump was trying to kill us like literally 6 hours ago! And now you wanna bring him in here to live with us?

Crystal: May I remind you that, HE BLEW HOLES IN THE HOTEL TWICE NOW!!!

Jesse: Not to mention he's pretty obnoxious most of the time. *takes a drag of smoke*

Charlie: Absolutely! This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this slithery... slippery... special little man!

Angel: *To Vaggie* Aren't you supposed to protect this place?

Charlie gives her puppy-dog eyes, begging Vaggie to give Sir Pentious a chance to live in the hotel. Vaggie gives in.

Vaggie*Sighs* I guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine, or even with the war machine.

Crystal: Fine *sighs* but if his egg boys shoot me again, it's lights out for him!

Jesse: Eh, *flicks cigarette into the bin* at least he keeps Niffty off my back.

Crystal though giggles and points to his tail. Jesse looks and sees Niffty hugging and cuddling into his tail.

Jesse: Bugger.

Charlie was so happy that she hugs the three, lifting them up in the process and twirling around once.

Charlie: Oh! Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!

Pentious: Oh no darling! Thank you! You won't regret this.

Angel: Eh, I give you a week, tops.

Charlie: So, this is the bar and the bartender. This is the curtain, and this is the new wall after you broke the last one, heh, and oh! Oh! This is the-

Vaggie: Babe, you don't have to show him every detail.

Charlie: Sorry, I'm just so excited to have our first real guest!

Angel: Uh, what the hell am I then?

Charlie: Well, you're an important part of our family here Angel, but you uhm, uh...

Vaggie: Constantly make us look bad, sexually harass the staff, and have literally never once tried to improve?

Crystal: I mean, a little harsh.

Jesse: She is right though, mate.

Charlie: What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once.

As Charlie walks back to Sir Pentious, Angel Dust looks downtrodden. Crystal pats his back.

Crystal: Hey, it's okay. You'll get there.

Angel: Thanks, toots. By the way, thanks for introducing Lilac to Fat Nuggets. The two get along well.

Crystal: I hoped they would, brownie? *holds up pan*

Angel: *takes one* Eh, they ain't pot brownies, but still delicious.

She smiles while Jesse takes one too. Niffty stirs awake from Jesse's tail and sees Pentious and runs up to him and Charlie.

Charlie: Over here we have our maid Niffty.

Niffty: *Gasps* The other bad boy is back!

Niffty gets up on Sir Pentious and holds his collars, looking at him with insanity in her red eye and a very sadistic smile, which creeps out Sir Pentious.

Niffty: *creepy whisper* Never leave me again.

Charlie: We're about 80% sure she's harmless, and over here we have our chef and musical entertainer, Crystal and Jesse.

Pentious: *nervous* Oh yes, we're quite acquainted actually.

Crystal: If you consider trying to kill us, shooting my shoulder, and being blown sky high after Jesse's performance as "acquainted", then yes. We are acquainted.

Jesse: Still ain't forgiving ya for that, mate.

Pentious: Ah yes, that. hehe.

Crystal: *eyes glow and holds up hand with a magic aura* Just know this. If you ever try or even think of hurting anyone here, I will introduce you to terrors beyond anything that even Lucifer himself could only, dream of!

Everyone looks at her with slight fear, except Alastor and Niffty who are just smiling at this. Crystal returns to her cheerful self and holds up the pan.

Crystal: Brownie?

Pentious: *snakingly takes one* T-thank you.

Charlie: Anyway, over here we have- *almost bumps into Alastor* Oh! Uh, Alastor! Our gracious facility manager! You've met our newest guest Sir Pentious...hehe..

Alastor: Ah yes! You're the one who ruined my coat! *in a sinisterly tone* I definitely remember you now.

Sir Pentious gulps nervously.

Charlie: Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson! *Clears throat* "How to apologize!" The first step to becoming a better person is to admit when you are wrong, why don't you give it a try?

Pentious: Yes..uhm.. Miss uhm.. Crystal. I'm sorry that my henchmen have injured your shoulder and I take full resposibility.

Crystal: Aww, thank you. I accept your apology.

Pentious: *facing Alastor*  And Mr. Radio Demon sir, please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat.. uhm.. here.

As a token of apology, Sir Pentious hands back the small fabric he tore from Alastor's coat. Alastor takes it and inspects the damage.

AlastorAh-Ho! Not many people have been able to take even this much off me, it must have meant quite a lot to you.

Despite being generous, Alastor spontaneously combusts the fabric tear into green flames, leaving Sir Pentious and Charlie stunned. Jesse though just lets out a small chuckle. Afterwards in the lobby, they all assemble in a group gathering to introduce Sir Pentious to the hotel.

Charlie: Now, with a new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other! So we are going to play a little game. Everyone, follow me. My name is Charlie *claps twice* I like to sing! *claps twice* and when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing! *claps twice*

Pentious: My name's Sir Pentious *claps twice* I like to build *claps twice* and despite my stupid Egg Bois, I think I'm very skilled! *claps twice*

Jesse: My name's Jesse *claps twice* I like to rock *claps twice* so much so it'll wrap your ears in a lock! *claps twice and finishes with a small drum solo on the table*

Crystal: *giggles* My name's Crystal *claps twice* I like to cook *claps twice* and clean so well you'll stop and take a look *claps twice*

When it was Angel's turn, he looked disinterested, looking up from his phone.

Angel: This is stupid.

Charlie: This- is not- stupid! *claps twice* It's just a game! *claps twice* Sir Pentious did it well so now please try to do the same! *claps twice*

Angel: I am too sober for this.

Vaggie: Well, get used to it and learn how to play, this is gonna be your whole day! *claps twice*

The next scene cuts to a act with Angel Dust wearing a trench coat and a hat as he reads a script. Sir Pentious is also acting as a innocent child wearing a sailor suit, licking a comically large lollipop.

Angel: "Oh, I'm a bad man on the streets who never got enough hugs, now, where's an innocent kid I can sell crack to?" Wow, who wrote this?

Charlie: It's great right? Keep going!

Angel: "Hey you."

Pentious: "Who, me?"

Angel: "Yeah, you look like a kid who could use some... devil's dandruff??" Oh, for fuck's sake.

Crystal was holding back laughter while Jesse looked confused.

Jesse: The fuck am I watching?

Pentious: "Not me! I have to go home and study!"

Angel: "Come on kid, it'll make you cool like me ...the crackhead."

Pentious: "The only cool thing here is to say no to drugs! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not have sexual intercourse before marriage!"

Charlie*stands up and claps* Yes! Oh bravo! Bravo! *chuckles* wow Pentious! At this rate, you'll be redeemed in no time.

Angel: I... I'm going to bed.

As he heads upstairs, Angel grabs his shoulder with a sympathetic look.

Jesse: You gonna be alright, mate?

Angel: I'll... I'll manage. Thanks anyway, Red.

He gently takes his hand off and heads up. In Angel's room, Fat Nuggets is asleep on his bed until Angel accidentally throws his coat on top of him. Fat Nuggets grunts and crawls out of the coat, as he watches Angel lie down on his bed. Angel glumly looks at his phone and sees all his voice mails from Valentino. Angel sighs and begins to play them. Valentino's voice mails switch back and forth between a friendly, apologetic tone and a barrage of screams threatening violence.

Valentino (Voice Message): Angel baby, come home! It's not the same without you here, I miss you! Come back-

ANGEL, YOU BITCH! IF YOU DON'T COME HOME, YOU'LL BE FUCKING GREASY TRUCKERS FOR THE NEXT YEAR-

Hey, amorcito, I didn't mean to yell, but you know how crazy you make me-

YOU FUCKING SLUT!

Hey, Angie! About earlier-

-KILL YOUR WHOLE FUCKIN' FAMILY!

Work's really stressful!

-LITTLE COCKSUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!

Valentino (Disembodied Voice): *dead serious* You actually think you can change?

red smoke appears from seemingly nowhere, and circles around Angel until Val stops talking, ending with the smoke clinging around his neck and chin like hands before fading away.

Valentino (Disembodied Voice): Addict trash like you doesn't change. I'll see you soon, baby.

Angel sighs as Fat Nuggets gets on the bed next to him.

Angel: ...Sorry, not now, Fat Nuggets.

Angel gets up and leaves his room with Fat Nuggets looking worried. Angel goes to Husk's bar, picks up a whole bottle, and starts drinking alcohol. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices something slithering away. He follows, finding Charlie's office door opened, and takes a peek inside. There, he discovers that Sir Pentious is setting up a small camera in one of the bookshelves, a camera that belong to Vox. Angel realizes what he's been doing and slams the door open.

Angel: You slippery little shit!

Pentious: *yelps*

Angel: You're working for the Vees? I fucking knew there was something shitty about you.

Pentious: I don't know what you're talking about!...whore bug!

Angel, sufficiently angered, tackles Sir Pentious on the ground. He punches him in the face before wrestling with him.

Pentious: Get your aggressively average body...OFF OF ME!

Sir Pentious' eyes spiral hypnotic powers to him. Angel becomes momentarily hypnotized.

Angel: Fuck!

Angel backs away. He then quickly snaps out of it. He now has Sir Pentious cornered. Right then, Charlie and Vaggie woke up after hearing the scuffle.

Charlie*Yawns* What's going on?

Angel: This little bitch is a traitor!

Pentious: Preposterous! I would never betray you. You... are my best friends! *hugs the girls*

Angel: Uh huh, then explain this!

Angel lifts off one of the books to reveal a camera, much to Charlie's shock. Sir Pentious realizes that his cover is blown and scurries away. He brings out his wrist watch to make contact with Vox.

Pentious: Ah! Ah! Abort! Abort! S.O.S! Agent Pentious in need of immediate evacuation!

Vox immediately appears on the watch.

Vox: Pentious? Wait... you were caught?!? It hasn't even been, a day!

PentiousPlease! You've got to get me out of here!

Vox: I can't believe we thought you could handle even something this simple! Do us a favor, if they don't kill you, go ahead and do it yourself! You MISERABLE FAILURE!

Pentious: *crying* I... I... just make it quick I guess...not that I deserve it.

Sir Pentious lies on the ground, with Vaggie holding a spear ready to pierce the skull.

Vaggie: Gladly.

Before she can kill him though, Charlie steps in to help him.

https://youtu.be/V7NaFOMjFYY

Charlie*Happily sighs* Good first day! Let's get some rest!

As they all leave, Crystal comes downstairs in her nightwear and holding, Lilac. She noticed the Vox watch.

Crystal: *yawns* Huh? What's this? *picks up the watch*

Vox appears on the screen and is taken back by Crystal's appearance.

Vox: Huh, who's there? Oh wait, you're that girl!

Crystal: Oh, hello! I'm Crystal, this little cutie is Lilac. You must be Vox, right? Nice to meet you.

Jesse walks in shirtless in only a pair of sweat pants.

Jesse: What's all the ruckus? *see's the watch* What's Vox doing on that?

Vox: Ah, Jesse! Just the hound I wanted to see. You and your imp girlfriend have garnered quite a bit of attention.

Jesse/Crystal: Girlfriend!?

Crystal: No, I'm just his friend.

Jesse: Yeah, my girlfriend is someone else entirely.

Vox: Apologies. Anyway, I have a pretty big offer that's too big to pass up. I'm sure you're familiar with my friends and I.

Jesse: Yeah, we know. What are you getting at, Boob Tube?

Vox: *grumbles* We noticed your performance and were quite impressed. We were thinking of maybe inviting you to join our little group.

Jesse: You want me to join you guys? That is a pretty big offer. Though Crystal stays with me.

Crystal: Yeah, we're a package deal.

Vox: Hmm, fine. I'm sure we can figure something out for her. Val or Velvette might be interested.

Crystal: Val's the porn guy, right? Yeah, no thanks.

Jesse: If he even thinks of laying his perverted dodgy fingers on her!

Vox: Woah woah, okay! Heel, boy! Velvette is, then. Just hold on to this watch.

Jesse: And then?

Vox: *grins* We'll be in touch. Until next time.

The watch shuts off as the two look at each other.

Crystal: That guy gives me the creeps. Do you think we should tell the others?

She hands the watch to Jesse who straps it to his left wrist.

Jesse: ... Let's keep this between us for now.

Alastor: That's a good plan!

Jesse: Crikey!!!

Crystal: Sweet mother of brownies! Oh, it's just you, Al.

Alastor: Relax, I'll keep this to myself. After all, what's a little secret between friends? I wouldn't listen to that washed up TV star, but the choice is yours in the end. Just be sure that you know where your loyalties lie.

Alastor steps into the shadows and vanishes with a menacing laugh. Jesse and Crystal look at each other and hug before heading back to bed. Jesse enters his room which has an amp and stereo in the corner and a bunch of band posters across the walls and dimly lit by neon red lights. Jesse lays down in bed and hears his phone vibrating. The screen shows it's his girlfriend calling him. He smiles and answers it, putting the phone to his ear.

Jesse: Hey, love. How are you?

GF: Good, been busy as usual. Though, my bed is a little lonely without you~

Jesse: Haha, you always want to cuddle with me.

GF: I can't help it, you're just so sweet and fluffy.

Jesse: Guilty. Today was interesting. I was just offered a meeting with the Vees.

GF: What for?

Jesse: They want me to join their group.

GF: What, that's great! You don't sound so sure though.

Jesse: Something about this seems dodgy. But, I do want to hear them out. Besides, would be rude for me to refuse.

GF: Fair. But if this goes well, your career will be on a good path.

Jesse: Yeah, you free this weekend?

GF: My schedule is wide open. What did you have in mind~

Jesse: Walk in the park, listen to you sing while I play, dinner at your place, cuddle and watch a movie.

GF: And who's on top~

Jesse: Haha, we'll figure that out. I'll see you later. Love ya, babe.

GF: Love you too~

Jesse hangs up and lays down with a smile, falling asleep as the screen fades to black.
