That's Entertainment!
It was after midnight, and the citizens of the Pride Ring all run and hide in fear as winged beast from above fly down and pick them off one-by-one.
In the outskirts of the Pride Ring, bridging between the boundaries between Pride and Wrath, a massive castle-like house is seen standing tall among a ruined but still active city. A man with dark hair and pale skin is seen watching the genocide happening outside through the window in his room. His eyes were heavy and had bags underneath them, yet he wasn't asleep. He brings a hand to hold his arm, concern filling him.
Unknown Demon: "Stay safe, Angel..."
_______________
As the scene opens up, a human is seen falling down from the sky. As he falls, a rainbow bursts upwards and through the clouds. A woman begins to sing.
"🎶At the end of the rainbow, there's happiness🎶
🎶And to find it, how often I've tried🎶"
A woman is seen being told off by her father who points behind her. She turns to see Hell being circled by angels.
"🎶But my life, is a race. Just a wild goose chase🎶
🎶And my dreams have all been denied🎶
A shadow of a man looms over the woman from before, dissapointed, as demonic arms and tendrils cover everything.
"🎶Why have I always been a failure?🎶
🎶What can the reason be?🎶"
The Earth is seen rotating on its axel as many eyes begin to surround it.
"🎶I wonder if the world's to blame🎶
🎶I wonder if it could be me🎶"
Exorcist Angels are seen in Hell, smiling deviously down on the souls they have massacred. Everything darkens around them, with only the face and halo of one of the Exorcists being seen.
"🎶I'm always chasing rainbows🎶
🎶Watching clouds drifting by🎶
Parts of Hell can be shown with a lighthouse in the background. Signs and graffiti can be seen, saying "Fuck You, Heaven", "Punishment", and "Your Days Are Numbered".
"🎶My schemes are just like all my dreams🎶
🎶Ending in the sky🎶"
A woman wearing a red tuxedo with pale skin and blonde hair walks across a balcony as she heads towards the railing. She slumps on the railing and releases fireworks from her hand, signaling to the rest of Hell that the extermination has ended.
"🎶Some fellows look and find the sunshine🎶"
A handful of demons down below are seen checking to area to see if the coast is clear.
"🎶I always look and find the rain🎶"
In a dark room, a figure can be seen looking out his window to see the fireworks. His eyes glow vibrant green in the darkness.
"🎶Some fellows make a winning sometime🎶"
At the Porn Studios, a short demon woman takes a selfie with a taller demon with a TV for a head. In the same room, a demon wearing heart glasses and a fur coat scowls at his phone when he sees a text from his employee.
"🎶I never even make a gain🎶
🎶Believe me🎶"
Two demons check to see if another is still alive before walking away as cannibals waiting nearby pounce on the dead body. Up above, a demon wearing a hat crosses out the name Franklin from the sign above their business.
"🎶I'm always chasing rainbows🎶"
A demon picks up a head from the street floor and sets it in his cart filled with other body parts before walking away. Other demons begun to freely walk about in the open as the woman singing begins go choke up.
"🎶Waiting to find a little blue bird... in vain🎶"
The blonde singing looks up at a clock tower with tears in her eyes as the timer for the yearly cleanse resets.
_______________
A Sinner falls into Hell and falls face-first onto the road. He groans in pain as he pushes himself up, only to be surprised to find himself still "alive".
Four-Armed Demon: *laughs* "I'm alive! I'm ali--!"
He doesn't get to finish when a taxi cab runs him over. The car soon parks and a tall demon with fur and four arms wearing a pink and white suit walks out. He brushes back his hair as the taxi driver snickers to himself.
Taxi Driver: "Thanks for the fun time, hot stuff!"
The demon, who is known as Angel Dust, begins fixing his hair.
Angel Dust: "Yeah, yeah, listen. Keep this discreet, you hear me? I can't let out I'm offerin' my services to randos on the street! It was a quick cash grab." *smiles and snaps fingers* "Ya got it?"
Taxi Driver: "Pfft! Whatever you say, slut! Muhehehehehehe!"
Angel gasps as he pretends to be offended.
Angel Dust: "Ouch! Ooh! Such an insult! Let me know when you've come up with come up with some creative to call me..." *looms over driver and points at him with all index fingers* "... you sack of poorly packaged horse shit! Now, tell the missus I said "hi"..." *kisses him* "shnuckums!"
The taxi driver tries to come up with a comeback, but failed miserably and ended up driving away angrily. And ends up crashing his car.
Angel looks behind himself to see a vending machine for drugs and walks up to it. He chooses the angel dust and a bag of drugs pops out. However, just as he gets a hold of it, a random demon runs by and steals it.
Random Demon: "Yoink!"
Angel Dust: "Hey!"
Random Demon: "Up yours, drag show!"
A giant Boulder proceeds to fall from the sky, crushing the demon alongside with Angel's drugs. The Spider Demon gasps.
Angel Dust: "Oh, my God!"
He runs up to the boulder and leans in to pick up what's left of his drugs with a devastated face.
Angel Dust: "MY DRUGS! Damn it!"
He clenched his drugs angrily and looks up to see a flying warship passing by, destroying it's surroundings.
Inside the warship, a Snake Demon with a top hat, Sir Pentious, is seen operating the controls of his ship as his henchmen, the Egg Bois, watch.
Sir Pentious: *laughs* "Those other cowardly Ssssiners dare not hinder my territorial takeover! A wise decision! The power of my machines are unmatched! No other demon can compare to the likes of I!"
Pentious declares as he pushes two levers while his hood flares open.
Egg Boi #23: "Gee! That was pretty swell, boss!"
Egg Boi #666: "Yeah!"
Other Egg Boi: "You really showed them what for! I liked when you shot them with your ray gun!"
The Egg Boi uses his bands to mimic the action of a ray gun firing. However, he gets smacked away by Pentious.
Egg Boi #23: "I wish he'd shoot me with his ray gun!"
The Egg Boi says sadly and longingly, and another Egg Boi pats his back. Sir Pentious' hood flares open as he speaks again while he pushes buttons and pulls levers.
Sir Pentious: "At this rate, I will seize control of the entire west side of The Pentagram by day's end! And nothing, not a single beast in this inferno of suffering will be able to take back this empire from my constrictive grasp!"
Pentious declares as he squeezes an Egg Boi with his tail. Then another Egg Boi pops open a bottle of whiskey which the stopper hits his boss. The Snake Demon swats his henchman away.
Random Egg Boi: "Oh, boy!"
Sir Pentious: "Hell will be mind! And everybody will know the name of Sir Pen--"
"EGGLORD!!"
(I know she says edgelord, but this is funnier)
Pentious immediately becomes offended and starts to look around.
Sir Pentious: "Pardon?!" *sees two Egg Bois* "Who said that?! What did you just say to me, you fried chicken fetuses?!" *hisses* "Speak up!"
Egg Bois: "That wasn't us, Mr. Bossman."
The two said, petrified. Then a small bomb with a skull print breaks through the window and lands right between Pentious and the Egg Bois. They look at it before realizing the fuse was burning away and it blows, leaving a large cloud of red smoke in its place.
Pentious coughs and hacks from the smoke which soon clears up. He then looks to see the owner of the explosive, a white-skinned cycloptic woman with fiery hair. It was Cherri Bomb.
Cherri Bomb: "You lookin' for a fight, old man?!" *tosses back and forth* "Why don't you get that tinker toy bullshit off my turf before I smash it?!"
She grins deviously as she tosses her bomb into the air and catches it. Then a large pipe falls on top of an already dead Egg Boi, crushing him as Pentious and Cherri looks at the destruction momentarily. The cyclops then grins sadistically.
Cherri Bomb: "More!"
Sir Pentious: "Oh!" *hood flares open* "You wanna go, missy?! Well, I'm happy to oblige!"
The snake laughs as his henchmen surround him.
_______________
The logo for 666 News suddenly appears in a black background which fades away to show two demon co-anchors, Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench.
Katie: "Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy."
Tom: "And I'm Tom Trench! Chaso out at Pentagram City today as a turf war is raging on the west side!"
An image of Pentious trying to be hip appears on the green screen, followed by a drawing of Cherri flipping the bird.
Tom: "It's between notable kingpin, Sir Pentious, and self-proclaimed spunky powerhouse, Cherri Bomb!"
Katie: "That's right, Tom! After the recent extermination, many areas are now up for grabs! Demons all over Hell are already duking it out to gain new territory!"
A live clip is shown of Cherri and Pentious clashing.
Tom: "Those two seem to be really going at it, huh?"
Katie: "Looks like they're fighting both tooth and nail for that hot spot!"
The anchorwoman announces as she fishes a tooth and a nail out from her coffee before swelling both. Tom looks over at the live broadcast, focusing on Cherri.
Tom: "And I'd sure like to nail her hot spot!"
Tom laughs a bit as he wiggles his eyebrows.
Katie: "Haha, you are a limpdick jackass, Tom! Or should I say..." *pours coffee on Tom's crotch* "... no dick?"
Tom curls over in pain as he holds his hands pressed down on his crotch.
Tom: "Ugh... not again!"
The green screen then shows a picture of a blonde woman in a red suit. Tom can still be heard whimpering in pain.
Katie: "Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with the daughter of Hell's head honcho who's here to discuss her brand new passion project! All that and more, after the break!"
She crushes her coffee mug in her hand and turns to Tom who's still in pain.
Katie: "Suck it up, you little bi--!"
The news cast cuts off and goes to a commercial break.
Nearby in, in the same room as the news co-anchors, the blonde woman from before is seen her bow fixed by another woman with long cream-colored hair and an "X" over one of her eyes. This was Charlie Morningstar and Vaggie Motha.
Vaggie: *exhales* "Okay! You remember what to say?"
Charlie: *inhales* "Yes! Let's do this!"
Vaggie: *serious* "Just, look at me and I'll mouth it to you."
Charlie: "Come on, Vaggie!" *bends backwards* "I know what to say! I just feel like we to... I don't know, make things more exciting!"
The demoness says as she grabs a donut and tosses tosses away before standing back straight. Then she gasps as she gets an idea.
Charlie: "Hooo! What if I si--?"
Vaggie: "--sing a song about it?"
Charlie: "You knew I was gonna say that!"
She boops Vaggie on the nose.
Vaggie: "Because I know you."
The one-eyed demoness fixes Charlie's bow again.
Vaggie: "But please don't sing! This is serious!"
Charlie: "Well, you know, I'm better at expressing myself and my goals through song!"
The princess of Hell states in a sing-song voice as she stands on a table covered with snacks. Her bodyguards, the Goat Demons Razzle and Dazzle, happily munch on donuts.
Vaggie: *places hands on hips* "But life isn't a musical, hun."
Charlie: "Fine. But I have these other ideas of what to say!"
The blonde says as she hops off the table and bounces a bit as she pulls out a piece of paper.
Charlie: "The highlighted bits are the best parts!"
Vaggie looks at the paper and sees it as a list of sorts. She grows confused.
Vaggie: "Uh, it's all highlighted. Is this a drawing?"
Vaggie asks as she points at the bottom of the paper, showing that there was indeed a drawing.
Charlie: "Yes! That's the happy ending, see? Everyone smiling and happy in Heaven!"
Vaggie releases a breath as she pinches the bridge of her nose.
Vaggie: "I don't think it's that simple. Just please follow the talking points we went over. And do not sing!"
Charlie: "Okay, fiiiine." *British accent* "I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills!"
She salutes Vaggie before turning to walk over to Katie Killjoy. When she approaches her, she returns to her normal voice and greets her nervously.
Charlie: "Hiii! I'm Charlie."
She offers a hand to Killjoy, only for the Sinner to simply look at her. She blows out some smoke from her cigarette.
Katie: "Katie Killjoy. I'd day it's a pleasure to meet you, but that would he a lie." *tosses cigarette* "And you can put that away. I don't touch the gays. I have standards!"
The anchorwoman says as she gestures to Charlie's hand. Charlie lowers her hand at this as she begins looking around nervously.
Charlie: "Yeah? How's, uh... how's that working out for ya?"
Katie: "Look, my time is money, so I'll keep this short." *proceeds to poke the "gay's" chest* "You're not here because we wanted you here. You're here because Jeffrey couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment."
In the background, there's a billboard of Jeffrey's cannibalism cooking show titled "It's Dahm Good!"
Katie: "You might be some royal big shot, but that doesn't mean shit to me. I'm too rich and too influential to give a flying fuck about what some tux-wearing..." *air quotes* "... 'princess' wants to advertise."
Tom, who is standing to the side, is shaking his head in disapproval as Katie boasts about her wealth and influence.
Charlie: "But I--"
Killjoy cuts her off as she continues poking her chest.
Katie: "So don't get cute with me, honey, or I will fucking bury you!"
Charlie gulped a bit before a staff member called out, saying that the news was back on live. Killjoy immediately rushes back to her desk next to Tom, making her neck break. She quickly fixes herself as she smiles at the camera.
Katie: "Welcome back! So, Charlotte!"
Charlie: "It's... Charlie."
The princess corrects as she takes a seat next to Killjoy. Then a spotlight flashes in her direction, making the blonde smile nervously.
Katie: "Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about!"
Katie says, trying to hold in any outburst she would have by clenching her pen. As she does so, Charlie looks around and her eyes land on Vaggie who motions her to go on.
Charlie: "Well..." *clears throat and exhales* "... as most of you know, I was born here in Hell and growing up, I always tried to see the good in everyone around me."
Killjoy spots a slug crawling across her desk and stabs it witn her pen. The slug's blood bursts across the desk.
Charlie: "Hell is my home and--"
Slug blood splatters across Charlie's cheek, but she wipes it off.
Charlie: "--you are my people. We... we just went through another extermination."
Vaggie gives Charlie two thumbs up while Killjoy quickly begins to lose interest.
Charlie: "We lost so many souls, and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. No one is even given a chance!"
She slams her fist on the desk, waking up Killjoy who had fell into a nap from boredom.
_______________
In the dark room from before, the figure in the darkness watches on a laptop. He places his arms on the desk the laptop was on, revealing the scars on his arms as he leaned in to listen, intrigued. He watches as Charlie stands up and walks from the desk.
Charlie: *over news broadcast* "I can't stand idly by while the place I love is subjected to such violence! So, I've been thinking: isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation in Hell?"
The figure hums in interest.
_______________
Charlie walks over to the audience as the cameraman follows her.
Charlie: "Perhaps we can create an alternate way to change souls through... redemption?"
She throws her arm around one of the news cast's staff members' with a smile.
Charlie: "Well, I think yes! So that's what this project aims to achieve!" *returns to the desk* "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind! A hotel that rehabilitates sinners!"
_______________
On the streets of Pentagram City, demons on the street watch the broadcast from TVs in the window of a shop.
Charlie starts to lose her confidence.
Charlie: *over news broadcast* "Y'know? 'Cause hotels are for people passin' through... temporarily..."
In a bar, a reptilian demon and his friends all cackle at the idea.
Reptile Demon: "Ahahaha! Is this girl for real?! She thinks--" *tries to hold in laughter* "You hear what she thinks?! She thi--HAHA! Ah, she's nuts."
He gets up from his table and leaves tbe club with his pals.
Charlie: *over news broadcast* "I think it'll serve a purpose... a place to work toward redemption... yay...!"
Back at the street where the demons were watching the news, a mysterious figure walks up and sees her broadcast alongside a bunch of other demons. His smile was full of intrigue and interest.
_______________
Back at the news station, the camera snickers to himself.
Cameraman: "Stupid bitch."
He gets knocked off his feet after Vaggie punches him square in the face. She turns back to watch Charlie, not noticing that the demon she just punched gets dragged into his own shadow. As this happens, Charlie looks around, saddened.
Charlie: "Look, every single one of you has something good, deep down inside. I know you do!"
She looks down at the desk before getting an idea. She smiles as she lifts her head back up.
Charlie: "Maybe I'm not getting through to you."
Razzle and Dazzle look over at their master and realize she's about to sing and that she may need backup vocals. Vaggie facepalms.
Vaggie: "Oh, no..."
Charlie then snaps her fingers and thw room turns dark before a spotlight shines over a piano that Charlie sat on while Razzle and Dazzle were at the keys.
_______________
Meanwhile, back at the street, the mysterious figure watching tilts his head in curiosity, along with his shadow, their smiles widening. Then Charlie begins to sing.
_______________
As Charlie ends her song, she stands on the desk with heavy breaths. Meanwhile, everyone in the news station looks af her with disgust and disbelief.
Grey Demon: "Wow! That was shit!"
Everyone in the audience, including Killjoy and Trench, but besides Vaggie, begin laughing at Charlie. The princess looks crushed and devastated as she slumps back down into her seat. There was a book section in the news section and all of the demons there look uninterested.
Blue Flame Demon: *deadpan* "Boo."
Katie: "What in the Nine Circles makes you think a single denizen of Hell would would give two shots about becoming a better person?! You have no proof that this little experiment even works! You want people to be good?! Just... because?!"
She continues to laugh with everybody else.
Charlie: "Well, we have a patron already, who believes in our cause and he's shown incredible progress!"
Katie: *feigns shock* "Oh? And who might that be?"
Charlie: *trying to be smug and confident* "Oh, just someone named... Angel Dust!"
Tom: "The porn star?"
Katie: "You fucking would, Tom!"
Killjoy says as she menacingly turns to Trench, scrapping her nails across the desk. Then she turns back to Charlie.
Katie: "In any case, that's not even an accomplishment. I'm sure you could get that hooker to do anything with enough booger sugar and lube."
The anchorwoman states before using both hands to make a handjob motion.
Charlie: "Oh, I beg to differ! He's been behaved, clean, and out of trouble for two weeks now."
Then a staff member calls out a "breaking news", and Killjoy shoves Charlie to the floor.
Katie: "We are receiving word that a new player has entered the ongoing turf war! Let's go to the live feed."
Said live feed shows Angel Dust, who was stepping on an Egg Boi and throwing a grenade at Sir Pentious with laughter. Charlie stares at the screen in shock and defeat.
Charlie: "Oh, shit."
Angel Dust: *live clip* "I'M A BAD PERSON!"
Katie: "Oh, shit indeed! It looks like the one who just joined the battle is none other than..." *fake gasp* "... porn after, Angel Dust!" *turns to Charlie* "What a juicy coincidence! You must feel really stupid right now."
Killjoy and Trench both laugh at Charlie before doing jazz hands.
Katie and Tom: "Ratings!"
Charlie stares at the live feed in distress before she stands up and tried to block it.
Charlie: "Don't look at this!"
Katie: "Well, it sure looks like your little project is dead on arrival. Tell us, how does it feel to be a total failure?"
Everyone bursts into laughter again, except for Charlie and Vaggie. Charlie trues to think up of a comeback.
Charlie: "Yeah, well..." *looks around* "How does it feel that I got your pen, huh?!" *grabs Killjoy's pen* "BITCH!"
The laughter immediately stops, and Killjoy gives the princess a death stare. Charlie nervously chuckles as she puts the pen back.
Charlie: "Oops."
Tom runs off set as Killjoy reveals her demonic voice as she looms over Charlie menacingly.
_______________
Back at the battlefield, Angel and Cherri are still fighting Pentious and his Egg Bois. They hide behind some concrete, using it as cover.
Cherri Bomb: "Hey! Think Y/n is gonna show up?"
Angel Dust: "Nah, you know this ain't his kinda show."
He then laughs as he shoots at some Egg Bois and Cherri fires a rocket launcher.
Cherri Bomb: "Well, shit. He could really help. But still, thanks for coming to help, Angie!"
Angel Dust: "You kiddin' me? This is the best action I've seen in ages!"
Cherri launches another cherry bomb towards her enemies and blows some up.
Cherri Bomb: "Where've you been, anyway? I thought you up and died or some shit."
Angel lights a bomb and hands it to his best friend.
Angel Dust: "Oh, I wish! I've been staying at this crappy hotel on the other side of town. Some broads are lettin' me stay rent-free if I play nice."
Cherri tosses the bomb and they both cover their heads at the explosion that sets off behind their cover. Then they grin at each other as they jump into the field. Angel then begins shooting down Egg Bois with a drum mag M1928 Thompson.
Angel Dust: "Y'know, no fights, no pranks, no 'problematic language'... Her words, not mine."
He steps down on a broken tile, launching an Egg Boi airborne and shoots at him from behind. He sighs again.
Angel Dust: "These crazy bitches are no fun! I've been clean for two weeks! And Mr. Dark-and-Brooding is congratulating me on it! It's... weird!"
Cherri Bomb: *smiling in disbelief* "Holy shit!"
Angel looks down at his finger to see a smudge of yolk on it.
Angel Dust: "Well, sorta clean."
He kills another Egg Boi.
Angel Dust: "Just as clean as you can get from a shitload of Bolivian marching powder! And what Y/n doesn't know won't hurt him, y'know?"
Pentious suddenly wraps Angel up in chains before tossing him into the air and slamming him back down on the ground.
Angel Dust: "Ohh, harder, daddy~!"
Angel moans as he bites his lower lip. However, Pentious seems to take this seriously as he gasps.
Sir Pentious: "Son?!"
Angel:
Cherri runs in and kicks Pentious away. He quickly recovers and his hood flares open as he growls.
Sir Pentious: "You where's have no classss! In war, the side remembered is the side with the most ssstyle!"
He says as he adjusts his tie.
Cherri Bomb: "Or the side that ain't dead!"
The cyclops girl declares as she decapitates an Egg Boi. Then Angel stands up and removes the chains that earlier restricted him.
Angel Dust: "Speakin' a style, is your hat, like, alive or something?"
Sir Pentious: "Oh! Well, that's none of your GOD DAMN BUSSSSINESS! Now, is it?"
Angel Dust: "Hah, would that make your hat the top and you the bottom?"
In the background, a sign that says "Loser" can be seen pointing at Pentious as an Egg Boi "Ooohs" at the roast. He gets a pebble thrown at him by his angry boss.
Sir Pentious: "I'm going to blow you to bitsss!"
Angel eyes his opponent up and down.
Angel Dust: "Hm. Kinky!"
Sir Pentious: "Oh, not like that, pervert!"
His hood flares open as another sign in the background, reading "Pussy", is now pointing at Pentious who knocks over an Egg Boi.
Then Angel notices another Egg Boi who held a tentacke launcher in his arms. The Spider Demon pushes Cherri out of the way, making him become the target instead as black tendrils grab his wrists and legs, hoisting him up in the air.
Sir Pentious: "Not so cocky now, are we?!"
Angel looks unamused as Pentious reveals a drill, activating it.
Angel Dust: "Y'know, you really gotta watch what comes outta ya mouth. I've been making these sex jokes the whole TIME!"
Angel announces as he reveals a third pair of arms which hold his M1928.
Angel Dust: "And it's obvious ya ain't catchin' on. I mean, it's just sad!"
He shoots at Pentious, making him fly back.
Cherri Bomb: "So, think you're gonna get in a lotta trouble for this?"
Angel shrugs his shoulders as he retracts his third set of arms.
Angel Dust: "Eh. What's one little brawl gonna cause?"
________________
Back at the news station, Charlie and Killjoy can be seen duking it out on each other like they were in some kind of WWE match. A fire alarm is also going off as Tom runs around, covered in flames.
Tom: "WHY WON'T ANYONE HELP ME?!"
_______________
Back with Cherri and Angel, the former laughs a bit as she slugs her best friend on the arm.
Cherri Bomb: "Glad you haven't changed! You know you're my favorite guy to party with!"
Angel Dust: "You know it, sugar tits!"
Cherri Bomb: *takes out a bomb* "You ready to finish this?"
Angel smirks as he places a new drum barrel on his Thompson.
Angel Dust: "Born ready, baby!"
Both Angel and Cherri pounce onto Pentious and his army as they prepare to clash. Charlie and Killjoy are still at each other's throats, screaming, while Trench is still on fire, yelling in agony.
_______________
In the unknown demon's darkened room, he is up on his feet and placing a jacket around his body. He pushes his arms through the sleeves as he walks down a lit hallway, revealing his long dark hair. He begins zipping up his coat and buttoning it together before he turns to a window, and thunder follows as rain begins to fall. He summons a black umbrella with a handle that was made of some kind of stone-like material and glowed purple.
Unknown Demon: "So... it looks like I finally have a reason to come out, huh?"
The demon stands in silence for a bit before a small smile adorns his face.
Unknown Demon: "I wonder what you're like after all this time... Charlie."
_______________
The Morningstar Family limousine can be seen driving as it makes its way back to the Happy Hotel. Inside, Charlie is hugging her knees and looking out the window, her tuxedo jacket ruined from her fight with Killjoy, watching the rain drip down the window. Vaggie sits next to her, glaring furiously at Angel who sat on the other side of the limo.
Charlie sighs and Vaggie's eye twitches as she watches Angel playing with the car window roller repeatedly. Vaggie then scrunches up her face and Angel notices.
Angel Dust: "... what?"
Vaggie: "'What?' 'WHAT?'?! What were you DOING?!"
The Latina asks as she pulls out some of her hair.
Angel Dust: *sighs* "I owed my girl buddy a solid! Isn't that a 'redeeming quality'? Helping friends with stuff?"
Vaggie: "Not with turf wars that result in territorial genocide!"
Angel Dust: "Eh. You win some, you lose a few hundred. Ehahahahahah!" *inhales* "It wasn't that bad, anyway."
The porn star goes back to amusing himself as he plays with the car window roller. However, he stops and pulls his hand away when Vaggie throws a folded pocket knife at it.
Angel Dust: "Aw, come on! I had to!" *brushes back hair* "My credibility was on the line! I mean, what kind of reputation would I have if people found out I was trying go clean? It just throws off my entire persona!"
Angel announces as he suggestively pushes up his chest floof.
Vaggie: "Your credibility? What about the hotel's?!" *gestures to Charlie* "You little stunt made us look like a fucking joke!"
Angel Dust: *scoffs* "No, no, no, babe. Jokes are funny! I made you look... uh, sad! And pathetic! Like an orphan... with no arms... or legs... Oh! With progeria! Great! Now I'm bummed thinkin' about it!"
Vaggie: "Don't you have any other friends you can hang out with?"
Angel Dust: "Well, most of 'em are porn stars like yours truly. Oh, but I do have this one guy! Though, he doesn't really get out much." *looks around limo* "This thing got any liquor?"
Vaggie: "Can you please just try to take this seriously?"
Angel flicks away a dust bunny.
Angel Dust: "Fine, I'll try. Just don't get your taco in a twist, baby."
Vaggie: "Are you trying to be racist or sexist?!"
Vaggie asks as she stands up in anger.
Angel Dust: *groans* "Whatever pisses you off more. Is there seriously no liquor in here?!"
Vaggie growls before sitting back down next to Charlie with her arms crossed.
Vaggie: "I'm gonna kill him."
Angel Dust: "Too late, toots. Wait! Would that make me double dead? Hah, and where exactly do I go? To Double Hell? Hahahahahahahaha! Sorry, you're stuck with me, bitch. Get used to it."
Angel folds his arms confidently as Vaggie seethes witn anger, her teeth gritting as she begins swearing in Spanish.
Vaggie: "¡Con una mierda malparido hijo de--!"
(Translation: For fuck's sake you bastard son of--!)
Angel Dust: "Listen, who cares if some jack-offs got hurt? Most of 'em are ugly freaks. Look around! You got a bunch a' fuckin' Harlequin babies down here! Hahahahah!"
Vaggie: "You're one to talk."
Vaggie says with a smug smirk.
Angel Dust: "Hey!" *motions to body* "This body is flawless! Everyone wants summa me, and I've got the creepy fan letters to prove it!"
Angel digs into his chest fluff and pulls out a letter which he unfolds with a flick of his wrist.
Vaggie: "Grrr..."
Charlie: "That was really uncool, y'know, Angel."
Vaggie: "'Uncool'? After that train-wreck, there is no way anyone is gonna wanna stay at the hotel!" *points at Angel Dust* "All thanks to you and your selfish bullshif!"
Angel Dust: "Does this mean I don't have a free room anymore?"
Vaggie gives him a look and motion, basically telling him "What do you think?" Angel snaps his fingers.
Angel Dust: "Ah, well shucks."
Charlie: "Hey, come on." *takes off ruined tuxedo jacket* "We don't know if things are over yet! Try to relax, Vaggie. I-it'll be okay!"
Charlie says as she places a hand on Vaggie's shoulder, and the Moth Demon looks at her with a smile.
Soon the limousine arrives at the Happy Hotel and the trio enters in, revealing how old and dirty the establishment was. Vaggie walks off and throws herself on a couch that was facing the wall. She groans as Angel rummaged through a mini fridge leaning on fbs wall and grabs a box of Popsies. He turns to Charlie with a smile.
Angel Dust: "Eh, it's probably a good idea to get some actual food in this place. Y'know, to feel all the wayward souls you got in here!"
He laughs a bit at his joke, but stops when he sees Charlie not even acknowledging him. He tries to actually comfort her, but eventually decides to back off and walk away.
Charlie looks around for a moment before walking out of the hotel. She pulls out her phone and opens up her contacts to see her mother's number. She hesitates for a moment before deciding call her. Unfortunately, it rings for a moment before going to voicemail. The princess sighs in defeat.
Charlie: "Hey, Mom. I know I keep calling and you must be busy... Really busy... But, um? The interview go so well... and... I don't know if I'm ever going to make a difference."
She shrinks down to her knees and starts to tear up, but she wipes away the tears.
Charlie: "I don't know what I'm doing. I could really use some advice, Mom. I... I think Dad was right about me. Ahah, oof, eh, anyway..." *wipes away more tears* "I'll stop talking before this gets too long. Love you. Bye..."
She stands up as she ends the voicemail before walking back into the hotel. However, she doesn't notice the figure in the rain walking towards the hotel.
Inside the hotel, Charlie closes the door and leans on them. However, a knock gains her attention and she steps back from the door in surprise. She contemplates whether or not to open it, but ends up opening it anyway. When she does, she takes a step back when she sees who it was.
Unknown Demon: "Hello, princess."
Lightning flashes, revealing the demon's face from the sudden illumination.
Charlie yells in fright and immediately slams the door shut.
Vaggie: "Charlie, are you alright?"
Charlie: "Uh, y-yeah! Of course!"
Charlie says as she turns and opens the door again, only to see no one there. She sighs in relief.
Charlie: "Yeah. I'm fine."
She closes the door again, softly this time, and chuckles to herself. She turns around, only to jump in fright again when she sees the person from outside right in front of her.
Charlie: "Ah!"
Unknown Demon: "Sorry for barging in unannounced. Though, you did slam the door in my face."
Charlie: "I-I'm sorry! But you didn't need to frighten me like that!"
Unknown Demon: "I apologize for my actions. I have not socialized in many decades."
Charlie: "That's fine, just be more aware of what you do, okay?"
Unknown Demon: "Of course, princess."
Charlie: "Do I know you? You look familiar."
The demon goes to answer the question as he lowers his umbrella, just as Vaggie and Angel walk into the lobby and find the long-haired demon standing with Charlie as he closes his umbrella.
Vaggie: "Who is this?!"
The demon turns to Vaggie and Angel, making the Moth Demon raise her spear. However, Angel simply gasps as he smiles.
Angel Dust: "Y/n! What are you doing here?"
He asks as he runs up to the black-clothed demon.
Vaggie: "Wait, you know him?"
Charlie: "Y/n...?"
Y/n: "I was watching the news today and saw what had happened." *turns to Charlie* "And I wish to aid in your endeavor."
Vaggie: *walking up to Y/n* "Are you joking with us?"
Y/n: "I do not joke in this kind of manner, madam."
Vaggie: "Madam?"
Charlie: "I can't believe it's you!"
Y/n turns to the princess and immediately gets tackled into a hug. The tall demon barely moves an inch as Charlie wraps her arms around him.
Charlie: "I haven't seen you in decades!"
Vaggie: "Wait, you know him?"
Charlie: "Yeah!"
Y/n sets Charlie back down on the floor.
Angel Dust: "How do you know Mr. Dark-and-Brooding?"
Charlie: "Oh! Well, we kinda grew up with each other. My parents worked a lot together with his parents, so we kinda hung out a lot. Though..." *turns to Y/n* "I haven't seen you in decades. What happened?"
Y/n stayed silent for a moment before looking away.
Y/n: "Lots of things happened. Though I don't really wish to speak of it now."
Charlie became curious about what he meant by that, but isn't able to question anything as Y/n claps his hands together.
Y/n: "Now, I know about most of you." *to Vaggie* "Who are you, madam?"
Vaggie: "I'm... Vaggie."
Y/n: "A, um, a pleasure, Miss Vaggie."
Vaggie: "I bet."
Vaggie says with a bit of hostility as she eyes Y/n up and down. He does the same, making Vaggie growl and point her spear at the taller man's neck. However, Y/n reacts quickly and grabs the spear head and keeps it one inch from his neck.
Y/n: "That would be an unwise decision, Miss Vaggie."
Charlie: "Okay! Things are getting a little hostile. How about we calm down, yeah? We're all friends here."
Vaggie: "Charlie, can we talk? Alone?"
Charlie: "Uh, y-yeah. Sure."
Vaggie pulls her spear from Y/n's hand, cutting his hand and drawing purple blood. However, it doesn't stay as it quickly heals. Charlie looks at her old friend apologetically and follows her friend off to the side. Angel turns to Y/n.
Angel Dust: "That storm outside was you, wasn't it?"
Y/n: "Yes."
Angel Dust: "What is it with you and dramatic entrances, huh?"
Y/n shrugs.
Y/n: "I like to make an impression."
Angel hums at this before smiling.
Angel Dust: "So... you and the princess were friends, huh?"
Y/n: *nods* "That is correct, Angel."
Angel Dust: "Did you two ever... y'know? Did you have, like, sexual history?"
Y/n: "No, Angel. We never got intimate with each other. Why must sexual acts always be on your mind?"
Angel shrugs his shoulders.
Angel Dust: "I don't know. Maybe because my friend hasn't gotten any action in decades?"
Y/n: "I do not wish to 'get any action', Angel. I am only here to aid the princess in her rehabilitation efforts."
Angel Dust: "Uh-huh. Sure, pal."
Angel says with a suggestive smirk. Y/n simply looks up at him.
Y/n: "If you wish to get on my case, then how about I get on yours, hm?"
Angel's smirks immediately fell and he became nervous.
Angel Dust: "What-whatcha talkin' 'bout, pal?"
Y/n: "You quite exactly what I'm talking about, Angel."
Y/n reaches up and snatches Angel's hair and yanks him down to his level.
Angel Dust: "Ow-ow-ow-ow! Why is that hot for everyone but you?!"
As Y/n begins lecturing Angel, Vaggie talks with Charlie.
Vaggie: "Charlie, what are you doing?"
Charlie: "What-what do you mean?"
Vaggie: "Charlie, hun, I know you know him, but do you know who that is? He's a member of the Dark Family! One of the--"
Charlie: "One of the worst families in all of Hell, I know. I grew up with him."
Vaggie: "But like you said, you haven't seen him in decades! He could've changed."
Charlie: "I mean... I think he has."
Vaggie: "What are you talking about?"
Charlie: "The Y/n I knew was never... this calm and rational. I mean, to this extent. And plus, he's friends with Angel."
Vaggie: "And what kind of point does that make?"
Charlie: "Y/n used to say that he would 'never socialize amongst the lowly commoners'."
Vaggie: *deadpan* "Wow."
Charlie: "And he's friends with Angel Dust! So he's definitely changed."
Vaggie: "I don't know, Charlie. I don't like the feeling he's giving off. It feels cold..."
Charlie: "Oh, it's like that with everyone. You'll get used to it."
Vaggie lets out a frustrated sigh and pinches the bridge of her nose.
Vaggie: "Okay. How well do you know, Y/n?"
Charlie: "Well, I've known him since we were little kids. So, pretty well. I think. Why?"
Vaggie: "And did either of you ever get... romantic with each other?"
Charlie pauses as she processes the question she was asked. Then a massive blush covers her cheeks.
Charlie: *waving hands in front of face* "What?! No, of course not! I mean, there have been times where I though about it, sure, mainly because of my mom and dad, but it never happened!"
Vaggie just looks at Charlie as she keeps on trying to explain her and Y/n's relationship. Meanwhile, with said Dark, he had finished lecturing Angel who was rubbing his head in pain. A knock is heard, which Y/n notices, and walks up to the door. He opens it to see a man with red hair and wearing a red suit.
Red Demon: "You're not the princess."
Y/n immediately shuts the door on the demon's face and turns to walk away. He makes his way over to Charlie and Vaggie, and taps on the princess' shoulder.
Y/n: "Princess?"
Charlie jumps a bit from surprise and turns to Y/n with a blush.
Charlie: "Y-Y/n! What's up?"
Y/n: "There's someone waiting for you at the door."
Charlie: "Wait, really?"
Y/n nods.
Y/n: "Yes. You may want to go check on him."
Charlie: "A-alright."
Charlie says as she shakes away her blush and makes her way to the door, leaving Vaggie with Y/n.
Y/n: "Do you perhaps have any tea here, Miss Vaggie?"
Vaggie: "No."
Vaggie says with some hostility before walking away. Y/n only hums in curiosity before walking off to find some place to put his umbrella. As he does, Charlie walks up to the front door door and looks at it for a moment before opening it. There, she sees the demon that Y/n had shut the door on.
Alastor, the Radio Demon.
Alastor: "Hel--"
Charlie closes the door and looks to the side for a moment in shock before opening the door again.
Alastor: "--lo!"
Charlie shuts the door again and turns away.
Charlie: "Hey, Vaggie?"
Vaggie: "What?"
Charlie walks over to Vaggie with a nervous smile.
Charlie: "So you know how Y/n said someone was at the door?"
Vaggie: "Yeah?"
Charlie: "Well, it's the Radio Demon!"
Vaggie: "What?!"
Angel takes his popsie from his mouth.
Angel Dust: "Uh, who?"
Charlie: "What should I do?!"
Vaggie: "Well, don't let him in!"
Charlie takes in Vaggie's words and looks back at the door. However, instead of taking her advice, she walks right back up to the door and opens it. He spoke with the sound of radio buzz.
Alastor: "May I speak now?"
Charlie: "You may."
Immediately, Alastor leans down to Charlie's height and takes her hand.
Alastor: "Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart! Quite the pleasure!"
He walks by a confused Charlie and enters the hotel.
Alastor: "Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on the picture show, and I just couldn't resist! What a performance! Why, I haven't been that entertained since the Stock Market Crash of 1929! Ahahahahaha! So many orphans..."
Alastor takes a few more steps forward, only to stop when Vaggie aims her spear at his neck.
Vaggie: "Stop right there, cabrón hijo de perra(bastard son of a bitch)! I know your game, and I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here, you pompous cheesy talkshow shitlord!"
Alastor could only chuckle a bit as he uses his finger to move the spear away.
Alastor: "Dear, if I wanted to hurt anyone here... ł ₩ØɄⱠĐ'VɆ ĐØ₦Ɇ ₴Ø ₳ⱠⱤɆ₳ĐɎ!"
Everything begins to distort as Alastor's smile becomes more devious. Charlie and Vaggie stare at him in fear, only for Alastor to Snape back to reality and everything returns to normal.
Alastor: "No! I'm here because I want to help!"
Charlie: "Say what now?"
Alastor: "Help! Hahaha! Hello? Is this thing on?" *taps mic* "Testing, testing!"
The mic opens its eye and responds.
Alastor's Mic: "Well, I heard you loud and clear!"
Charlie: "Um, you want to help? With...?"
Alastor teleports behind Charlie and Vaggie with his shadow and pulls them close.
Alastor: "This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel! I want to help you run it."
Charlie: "Buuut... why?"
Alastor: "Hahaha! Why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades. My works became mundane. Lacking focus." *shoves Vaggie away* "Aimless! I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Hahaha!"
Charlie: "Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment...?"
Charlie asks as Vaggie gets back up and walks up next to Charlie.
Alastor: "Hahaha! It's the purest kind, my dear: Reality! True passion! After all, the world is a stage and the stage is a world of entertainment."
Charlie: "So does this mean you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?"
Alastor only laughs at this question.
Alastoe: "Of course not! That's wacky nonsense! Redemption. Oh, the nonexistent humanity! No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners!"
He glances over at Vaggie who is offended and Angel who just shrugs.
Alastor: "The chance given was the life they lived before, and the punishment is this!" *gestures to all of Hell* "There is no undoing what is done!"
"That is quite pessimistic coming from the likes of you, Alastor."
Charlie and Alastor turn to see Y/n walking up to them, still having his umbrella since he couldn't find a place to put it. Alastor's smile widens.
Alastor: "Ti Fénwa! My, it's been decades since I've seen you! How has it been, old chap?"
Y/n: "I have been... fine. I assume you are here to assist Charlie in her attempts to rehabilitate Sinners as well?"
Alastor: "Yes, indeedy!"
Charlie: "Wait, wait, wait. Why would you want to help me if you don't believe in my cause?"
Alastor: "Consider it an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself!"
The Radio Demon says as he pulls Charlie close to him and twirls her around.
Alastor: "I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure!"
Charlie, unnerved, removes Alastor's hand from her back.
Charlie: "Riiiight."
Alastor: "Yes, indeedy! I see big things coming your way, and who better to help you than Y/n and I?"
Alastor says as he grabs both Y/n and Charlie, leading them off to the side. As he continues to talk, Angel turns to Vaggie.
Angel Dust: "Uh, so... uh, what's the deal with Smiles over there? And how does he know Y/n?"
Vaggie: "Wait, you've never heard of him before? You're friends with a Dark! You've been here longer than me!"
Angel just shrugs.
Vaggie: "The Radio Demon. One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?"
Angel shrugs again.
Angel Dust: "Eh. Not big on politics."
Vaggie scoffs before leaning close to Angel as she begins to tell her tale.
Vaggie: "Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell, seemingly overnight. He began toppling Overlords who have been dominant for centuries. That kind of raw power had never been harnessed by a mortal soul before. Then, he broadcasted his carnage all throughout Hell just so everyone could witness the ability. Sinners started calling him 'The Radio Demon'... as lazy as that is. Many have speculated what unimaginable force enabled him to rival our world's most ancient and destructive evils. But one thing's for sure: He's an unpredictable source of danger, a wicked spirit of mystery, and a violent monster of chaos, the likes of which we can't risk getting involved with unless we want to end up erased!"
Angel Dust: "Ya done?"
He asks before laughing dryly.
Angel Dust: "He looks like a strawberry pimp."
Vaggie: "Well, I don't trust him! Or Y/n!"
Angel Dust: "To be fair, do you trust any man? Any men? Men?"
Vaggie rolls her eyes before standing up and walking up to Charlie. She grabs her friend by the shoulder, making her face her.
Vaggie: "Charlie, listen to me. You can't believe these creeps! Alastor isn't just a happy face! He's a deal maker! And Y/n is a Dark! Someone who finds joy in chaos! Pure evil! Neither can be redeemed! And they're most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do!"
Charlie: "I..." *sighs* "We don't know that! Look, I know Alastor's bad and Y/n hasn't ever had the best track record, and I know they might not wanna change, but the whole point of this is to give people a chance!"
Charlie glances over at Alastor and Y/n who seems to be in the middle of their own conversation. She looks back at Vaggie.
Charlie: "To have faith things will be better! How can I turn someone away? It goes against everything I'm trying to do. Everything I believe in." *places hands on Vaggie's shoulders* "Just... trust me. I can take care of myself!"
Vaggie: "Charlie, whatever you do, just don't make a deal with Alastor or let Y/n anywhere near your shadow!
Charlie: "Don't worry, I picked up one thing from my dad!" *imitates Lucifer's voice* "You don't take shit from other demons!"
She walks over to Y/n and Alastor who end their conversation when they see Charlie approaching them.
Charlie: "Okay, so, Y/n. I trust you, mostly, but Al, you're sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here as a joke."
Charlie turns away as she speaks, and red glowing symbols appear in the air around Alastor. Y/n is unaffected by them, and they vanish once Charlie turns to face the two again.
Charlie: "But, I don't. I think everyone deserves a chance to prove they can be better. So, I'm taking your offers to help. On the condition that there be no... shadow magic, tricks, or voodoo strings attached."
Alastor: "So, it's a deal, then?"
The Radio Demon asks, twirling his staff around before presenting his hand to Charlie for a handshake. Green energy then bursts all over the hotel with high wings that blew everywhere. However, Charlie smacks Alastor's hand away, and the glow and wind vanish.
Charlie: "Nope! No shaking! No deals! I... hmm... As princess of Hell and heir to the throne, I, uh, hereby order that you help with this hotel. For as long as you two desire."
Charlie looks over at Vaggie for approval who just sighs.
Charlie: "Sound fair?"
Y/n: "Of course."
Alastor, however, hummed in thought for a moment before making his mic staff vanish.
Alastor: "Fair enough!"
Charlie: *sighs in relief* "Cool beans."
Alastor then walks off to look around as he hums a song to himself. He stops in front of Vaggie who scowled at him. However, he only smiled at her.
Alastor: "Smile, my dear! You know you're never fully dressed without one!"
He says as he tickles Vaggie's chin, making her growl as she nearly chomped her jaws on his fingers. However, Alastor walked away before she could do so and continues humming before walking back over to Charlie and Y/n.
Alastor: "So where is your hotel staff?"
Charlie: "Uh, well..."
She glances at Vaggie and Alastor looks at her again, getting stared right at the eyes.
Y/n: "It is just you and her?"
Charlie nervously laughs to herself and Alastor adjusts his monocle.
Alastor: "Ohohoho, you're going to need more than that." *walks up to Angel Dust* "And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?"
Angel Dust: "I can suck your dick!"
Alastor freezes with mic feedback being heard as he tries to process what he was just offered. However, he quickly regains his senses and rejects Angel's offer.
Alastorv "HAH! No."
Angel Dust: *scoffs* "Your loss."
Alastor walks back over to Charlie as he summons his mic staff again.
Alastor: "Well, this just won't do! I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up."
At the snap of his fingers, a new fireplace replaces the hotel's worn down one with a burst of fire. He approaches it and picks up the small, mysterious figure who was inside covered in soon. The figure opens their eye and stands at the quartet. Then the figure poofs the soot from their body, revealing a small cycloptic girl in a dress.
Alastor: "This little darling is Niffty!"
The Radio Demon states and drops the Cyclops Demon onto the floor. She quickly stands up and waves at everyone.
Niffty: "Hi, I'm Niffty! It's nice to meet you! It's been a while since I've made new friends!" *eyes the four* "Why are you all women?" *lifts up Charlie* "Are there any men here?!" *puts Charlie down* "I'm sorry, that's rude."
Niffty looks around and notices how dirty the hotel was.
Niffty: "Oooh, man, this place is filthy! It really needs a lady's touch!" *grabs spider and crushes it* "Which is weird since you're all ladies, no offense." *takes out feather duster* "Oh, my gosh, this is awful!"
Niffty begins speeding around as she starts cleaning up the hotel lobby. Y/n looks at her before looking at Alastor.
Y/n: "Explain."
Alastor: "She can be our cleaning service! Though, she does have as much of an obsession of men as she does for cleaning."
Y/n nods in understanding before a new voice, deep and grizzly, catches everyone's attention. They all turn to see something materializing nearby, and a hand slams down cards on a table.
Avian Cat Demon: "Hah! Read 'em and weep, boys! Full Ho--"
The demon stops and looks around in confusion as demonic illusions and distorted voices cut him off. He suddenly arrives at the Happy Hotel.
Avian Cat Demon: "--tel? What the fuck is this?"
The grizzly-voiced cat demon looks around before spotting Alastor, eliciting an angry purr as he points at him.
Avian Cat Demon: "You!"
Alastor: "Ah, Husker, my good friend! Glad you could make it!"
Husk: "Don't you Husker me, you son of a bitch! I was about to win tbe whole damn pot!"
He says as he points at said jackpot, only for it to disappear into nothingness.
Alastor: "Good to see you, too!"
Husk: *angrily facepalms* "What tbe hell do you want with me this time?"
Alastor: "My friend, I am doing some charity work, so I took it upon myself to volunteer your services! I hope that's okay!"
Husk: "Are you shittin' me?!"
Alastor: "Hmm... No, I don't think so!"
Husk: *shoves Alastor off* "You thought it'd be some kind of big fucking riot just to pull me out of nowhere?! You think I'm some kind of fucking clown?!"
Alastor grins as if he's about to laugh.
Alastor: "Maybe!"
Husk: "I ain't doing no fufking charity job."
Alastor teleports behind Husk through his shadow, like he did with Charlie and Vaggie.
Alastor: "Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment!" *gestures to bar he made from magic* "With your charming smile and welcoming energy, this job was made for you!"
Alastor says as he pulls Husk's lips into a forced smile which immediately falls. He then leads him over to the bar.
Alastor: "Don't worry, my friend. J van make this more welcoming! If you wish."
Husk stares at the cheep booze that Alastor manifested from nothing for a second.
Husk: "What? You think you can vut me with a wink and some cheap booze?!" *grabs the booze* "... Well, you can!"
He begins downing the booze as he walks behind the bar counter.
Vaggie: "Hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey! No! No bar, no alcohol! This is supposed to be a place that discourages sin! Not some kind of mouth... brothel... mancave!"
Y/n sighs through his nose as Angel launches himself at Vaggie, tackling her to the ground.
Angel Dust: "SHUT UP! SHUT! UP! We are keeping this!"
Angel tells Vaggie as he points at the bar with all of his fingers. He then went up to the bar and smirked at Husk.
Angel Dust: "Hey~"
Husk: "Go fuck yourself."
Angel Dust: "Only if you watch me!"
Angel says as he grabs ahold of Husk's face. However, Y/n appears and grabs the back of his collar to pull him away.
Y/n: "Leave him alone, Angel."
Angel crosses his arms with a pout as he's pulled away from the bar. Husk looks away from his booze and at Y/n.
Husk: "Y/n?"
Y/n: "Hello, Husk."
Husk: "Fuck, man. Did Alastor drag you into his 'charity', too?"
Y/n: "No, I inserted myself into this situation myself."
Husk: "Oh."
Charlie then walks up to Husk and leans over the bar to give Husk a handshake.
Charlie: "Oh, my gosh! Welcome to The Happy Hotel! You are going to love it here!"
Husk: "I lost the ability to love years ago."
Husk states and grabs his booze, continuing to down it. Alastor walks back to Charlie.
Alastor: "So, whaddaya think?"
Charlie: "This is amazing!"
Charlie says as she rubs her cheeks excitedly, and Vaggie was simply crossing her arms.
Vaggie: "It's... okay."
Y/n: "This is a lot of effort for someone who relatively does not care for this endeavor."
Alastor: "Hahah! This is going to be very entertaining!"
Alastor says as he summons a ball of fire, launching it to the hotel ceiling just so he could distract Charlie fast enough for him to shove Vaggie and Y/n aside. He then uses his magic to dress himself in a tuxedo and matching top hat. He begins to sing.
Alastor: "🎶You have a dream!🎶"
He twirls Charlie around and dresses her up with his magic.
Alastor: "🎶You wish to tell!🎶"
He turns to Vaggie who was being helped off the floor by Y/n.
Alastor: "🎶And it's just laughable🎶
🎶But, hey, kid, what the hell?🎶"
He turns back to Charlie and tosses her into the air, and the background changes to neon colored lights featuring two apples and a skull. Then be catches Charlie and they begin tap dancing at the top of a staircase.
Alastor: "🎶'Cause you're one-of-a-kind!🎶
🎶A charming demon belle!🎶"
They begin to slide down the railing of the stairs, and Alastor continues singing.
Alastor: "🎶Now, let's give these burning tools a place to dwell!🎶
🎶Take it, boys!🎶"
He dresses up the rest of the hotel staff in outfits from the 1930s. They all look at themselves in surprise, while Husk doesn't seem to care.
Then shadow demons appear from the floorboards and begin playing their instruments as Vaggie and Y/n try to talk to Charlie who is having too much fun. However, Alastor pulls them in with him and the others into some kind of hug before leaving them as his shadow demons surround them.
Shadow Demons: "Boo!"
Alastor: "🎶Haha! Inside of every demon is a lost cause!🎶"
He places a fedora on Angel's head who snaps his fingers back at him and Alastor kisses Husk's cheek who flips him off.
Alastor: "🎶But we'll dress 'em up for now, with just a smile!🎶"
He summons a big hat and furry scarf on Vaggie before smacking her butt and stepping away. She turns to see only Y/n there and growls as she takes off the hat and scarf, throwing them on the ground.
Shadow Demons: "🎶With a smile!🎶"
Alastor: "🎶And we'll chlorinate this cesspool with some old redemption flair!🎶"
Alastor continues singing as he kicks a skull into a wall, and its shattered remains fall to the floor which Niffty quickly sweeps up.
Alastor: "🎶And show these simpleton some proper class and style!🎶"
Shadow Demons: "🎶Class and style!🎶"
Alastor drags his staff across the ground from the fireplace and creates a shadow clone of himself, only to snap it away as he continues to sing.
Alastor: "🎶Oh! Here below the ground🎶
🎶I'm sure your plan is sound!🎶"
He pinches Charlie's cheeks and holds her hands as they both begin to spin around. Then he lets go and sends Charlie stumbling into Y/n's arms. She blushes at this, and Vaggie growls again.
Alastor: "🎶They'll spend a little time, down at this Hazbin Ho--🎶"
The hotel door explodes, cutting Alastor's song short as it flies into Niffty and knocks her away. Charlie, Alastor, Y/n, Angel, and Vaggie all look outside to see Sir Pentious' warship flying right in front of the hotel. The owner of the warship pokes his hand out of the window.
Sir Pentious: "Hah! Well, well, well. Look who it is harboring the striped freak! We meet yet again, Alastor and Y/n the Dark!"
Both Y/n and Alastor look at Pentious.
Alastor and Y/n: "Do we know you?"
Pentious's hood immediately drops, as if it were his ego.
Sir Pentious: "Oh, yes you do!"
He declares as he slithers back into his ship's cockpit, and his hood flares open.
Sir Pentious: "And this time, I have the element of... SURPRISE!"
He pulls a lever, revealing a giant laser cannon from his ship. It begins to hum as it warms up.
Sir Pentious: "Ahaha! I'm so evil!"
Both Y/n and Alastor looked unimpressed at the machine. The Radio Demon snaps his fingers, summoning an otherworldly portal while Y/n raises up his hand and creates tentacles from the shadows nearby. He uses them to stab into Pentious' ship as Alastor uses his own tentacles to rip off the ship's laser cannon and toss it into his portal. Then an even bigger portal opens up beneath the warship with eldritch tentacles rising up above it. Both Alastor and Y/n's tentacle destroy Pentious' ship tighter with the owner still inside, and eventually the tentacles wrap around the ship. Both the Overlord and Hellborn clenched their fists, with Alastor grinning menacingly while Y/n looked cold and stoic as the tentacles bring the warship into the portal and blows it up.
When the smoke dissipates, Alastor is seen grinning menacingly in satisfaction from his and Y/n's work while the latter gazed coldly at the remains of Pentious' warship. Everyone else was staring at the two in shock and horror, caught off-guard at their sudden show of power.
There was a few moments of silence before Y/n turned back to the others and Alastor broke the tension.
Alastor: "Well, I'm starved! Who wants some Jambalaya?"
Y/n: "Hmm. Jambalaya does sound quite appetizing."
Alastor: "There's the spirit, Ti Fénwa!"
Alastor says as he wraps an arm around Y/n's shoulders and begins to lead him back to the hotel. Everyone followed them.
Alastor: "My mother once showed me a wonderful recipe for Jambalaya. In fact, it nearly killed her! Hahaha! You could say the kick was right out of Hell! Ohoho, I'm on a roll! Yes, sir! This is the start of some real changes down here! The game is set! Now..."
Alastor uses his magic one last time without the knowledge of anyone else to change the sign atop of the hotel from "Happy Hotel" to "Hazbin Hotel".
Alastor: *sinisterly* "... stay tuned. Hahaha!"
_______________
Not long after, Sir Pentious climbs from the crater that was caused from his warship being destroyed, somehow surviving the beating served to him by both Y/n and Alastor. Egg Boi #23 seems to have survived alongside his boss as well
Egg Boi #23: "Now will you shoot me with your ray gun?"
Pentious collapses face-first from exhaustion.

Hey!
So here it finally is! The first official chapter has been released and it's super damn long. It's 10559 or so words total, not counting this little note here. Yeah, like I said, it's a lot.
Now, I hope you all enjoyed, since this is gonna be different from what I planned with the original story. And for those who have read the original story and know about certain things, like how Y/n and Angel know each other and other things (you know what I'm talking about), I'm gonna have that stuff revealed as the story progresses. I may have a lone chapter just to show how Y/n and Angel met, but that's uncertain as of now. And until the next episode of Hazbin Hotel comes up (which is soon), I'll just be posting chapters that aren't officially canon unless you guys wish to recognize them as such. Or some circumstances require them to be come canon. I don't know.
And as for the reason Vaggie doesn't look like she does from the introduction chapter, it's because Vivziepop had stated that she wants Vaggie to wear different outfits for each episode of Hazbin Hotel. So in this chapter, she basically has her original look from the pilot episode.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed! And as Alastor said...
Toodels!
