The residences of the Happy/Hazbin Hotel have dubbed Elli has the mom of the hotel. This leads to everyone coming to her for one thing or another when Vaggie or Charlie can't take care of their needs... even a few out of the hotel. Much to Alastor's annoyance.


Chapter 10: The Hotel Mama

Morning was usually spent by either having Nifty, Alastor, or Elli cooking. This morning it was Elli. And the patrons that were living at the hotel all agreed on one thing. Elli was the best cook out of those that could. Even with foods that she didn't know, she just took one look at the recipe and she made it taste incredible despite it being her first time. The woman was a chef god. Alastor being a close second. Which being her son was a given. Breakfast for today was waffles with hashbrowns, sausage, eggs and fruit parfaits. As usual, the doe-demon was making sure that everyone else was eating before she made herself a plate. She fortunately had the day off from Rosie's, but that meant she didn't have the day off at the Hotel. Charlie had requested to see her after breakfast to help find more ways to help get her patrons to be redeemed. With Heavens requirements, she wasn't quite sure if most of the patrons would even make it. Something she was sure Alastor was going to take delight in. Once she finished, she made her way up to the optimistic princess' office.

"Ms. Charlie. It's Elli." she knocked.

"Come in!"

Going in, she could see that Charlie was sitting at a desk with Vaggie next to her as they looked over some paperwork. The Hell-born flashed her a smile when she entered the room.

"Hey Elli! Thanks for coming to see me! I was hoping for a bit more information on what I need to do to help get our patrons redeemed!"

"Oh no problem sugah." She replied as she sat down. "Now...wat Ah told ya last time were de smaller bits dat He don't allow. Now Ah'll tell ya 'bout de big ones."

Charlie nodded as she positioned her pen, ready to take notes. About an hour or two later, Elli was escorted out of the office with a "Thank you!" from the blonde demon. She smiled in response, heading down to the living area. The moment she entered the room, she was flocked by demons requesting to speak with her. Most of them talking at the same time. She blinked in surprise, then started motioning with her hands to get them to stop.

"Okay, okay. Settle down ya'll. Ah can't understand ya'll when ya'll talkin' at once." Doing as she requested, they quieted down. "Alright. Those dat needs advice, to mah left. Those needing help wit' something, de right. Severity ranked from not as important first 'nd de most in de back. Discuss with each otha's first then advice people discuss wit' me first. Form a line outside de kitchen 'nd I'll call ya one by one."

They nodded and went to discuss who was to go first. Elli went into the kitchen and made a pot of tea. This had became a routine for her weeks after she arrived at the hotel. At first it started with her noticing something was wrong and her easing them into speaking to her then bothering Vaggie and Charlie when they were busy. Of course she knew that Charlie did everything she could when she wasn't busy and was more than happy to help her fellow patrons. Though some of the demons were a little... reluctant of accepting her help due to her positivity. Or they just didn't respect her since she didn't demand respect through fear and bloodshed like others. Once the tea was finished, she sat down at the table with the usual cream, sugar and cups. Once she called the first demon in, she poured herself a cup. Time to begin.


As Alastor came down from doing his usual rounds on the patrons, (he just loved popping in unexpectedly to see them failing at their progress!) to notice the line of demons waiting outside the kitchen. His smile got tensed. It was happening again. Just when he wanted to spend time alone with his darling mother, she of course was too busy for him. It wasn't right. She was his mom! Not theirs! He let out a small huff. Well, he wasn't going to let them stop him from speaking her! Teleporting into the kitchen, he smiled seeing her listening to Baxter, the angler-fish demon.

"Hello Mother! I am in-"

The two looked at him, Elli cutting him off.

"Alastor." She scolded. "Ya know betta' then ta interrupt a conversation in such a manna'."

The Radio Demon's ears flattened lightly. He hated it when he got reprimanded by her. Especially in front of others. His smile faltered slightly.

"Forgive me mother. But I am needing to speak with you. It's of dire urgency!"

She gave him an apologetic smile.

"'M sorry bebe. Mama can't right at dis moment. Can it wait till she done helpin' de otha's?"

Alastor clenched his teeth. No. He didn't want to wait. He wanted to be with her. Alone. With no other demons taking her attention away from him. Her child. He haven't had time alone with her in weeks! It was frustrating! They always spent time together! She was always there for him! He could see her whenever he wanted! Now... now all her time was taken up by others and it wasn't fair! He hated that he wasn't getting her attention like he used to. But... she did raise him to be a gentleman. And it would be improper to just force himself into something when she was very busy just because he wanted her to take notice of him.

"It...can."

She smiled.

"Okay sugah. We'll talk soon."

He gave a curt nod, his smile getting tighter. With that he magicked out of the room. He huffed, kicking his wall in frustration. Once again he was being pushed aside. He was so close to actually spit out those inappropriate words. Key word: Close. His mother had raised him that real gentlemen never lowered themselves to say such words no matter how upset they got. It was improper. She never did and her son wasn't going to either. But he was tempted. He was so tempted. What was it going to take for him to get some time alone with her? Was he sounding needy and possessive? Personally, he didn't care if he did. He always knew himself to be the main light in her life. To have her undying love and affection. Showering him with her attention. And he wasn't getting it now. And it was driving him up the wall. It wasn't fair.


The fact that the Radio Demon had popped in on his session with Elli was quite unnerving. But he couldn't blame him since she was his mother. The scientific Angler-fish demon could empathize with him. He noticed the tense smile that Alastor had given after she told him that she was busy. He could guess that Alastor wasn't used to not having the woman's full attention. It was no question that Alastor was a Mama's boy. Before Elli joined, Alastor spoke about her frequently. So not being able to spend time her when he wanted was getting to the deer Overlord. Baxter could easily label the relationship. Co-dependency. He made a mental to note to bring it up with Elli at a later date. Right now, he needed a solution to deal with Crymini.

"Ah'll make an effort ta talk ta her 'bout not enterin' ya lab 'nd takin' yo' t'ings. 'Nd ta be more courteous ta ya."

He smiled at her.

"Thank you kindly Ms. LaBlanc."

"Ya welcome. 'Nd please. Call me Elli.

"Right. Of course."

He stood and made his way out so the next patron could get their session in.


Several hours later, Elli finally finished with the last patron that needed her assistance. Straightening her dress, she made her way up to Alastor's room. She knocked, stepping back so she wasn't right in his personal space when he opened the door.

"Ali! It's Mama!" She called.

Silence. She frowned and knocked again. Nothing.

"Alastor! It's Mama! Ya said ya wanted ta see me!"

No response. Maybe he was somewhere else in the hotel? Figuring that was why he wasn't answering, she started walking the hallways. After going through the floors, she soon discovered that she was now the only one in the hotel. Odd. But everyone had the right to live their own lives. And the staff, which included Alastor, must be busing doing errands for the hotel. She decided that she would go to the lobby and read a book while she waited. A couple of minutes later, she heard something like a large engine going near the hotel. Distant shouting was heard as well. Curious, she saved her place in her book then went outside to see what all the commotions was. Hovering outside the hotel was a metal blimp.

A snake demon wearing a gray pinstriped suit and a gray top hat was shouting out the blimps large circular window. His hood was flared a bit out, showing that it was yellow with four pink eyes, two on each side. Under his suit was a yellow shirt with a pink eye on his chest. He had a black and yellow bow tie on. She noticed that his hat had a large pink eye and a mouth full of sharp yellow teeth like his. He had black skin, and on the edge of his fingers were sharp pink nails. She offered a kind smile when he started shouting down at her.

"You there! I demand you get Alastor! I require vengeance! No one makes a fool of Sir Pentious!"

"Ah'm afraid Alastor ain't here. Or anyone fer dat matta'." She smiled. "Why don't ya come down? Ah made cookies."

Upset that the Overlord was there, he frowned. Yet this sweet doe-demon was offering him free sweets. What the hell? He could attack Alastor the moment he walked through the door. Then he could finally get his revenge! He didn't have his idiotic minions with him at the time since he wanted to the retaliation on his own. The Egg Bois weren't able to do anything last time and he highly doubted they would be of use to him this time. The hatch of his blimp unlatched and he made his way down to her. She could see that his tail was black with yellow stripes and multiple pink eyes.

"What type of cookies?" He asked.

"Do ya like Chocolate Chip?"

He and his hat smiled as the serpent nodded his head. Elli's smile got wider as she escorted him in.


Alastor huffed as he made his way down the stairs. He had teleported himself and Husker to the Radio Tower for mandatory cuddles. He wanted attention and comfort and the one person that he wanted it to come from was too busy at the moment. Thus that caused him to seek out his usual partner for when such the occasion arise. And at the time, he didn't care what the cat demon was up to. He needed cuddles and he was going to receive cuddles. This was easily bribed to purchase the grumpy feline a case of any alcohol of his choice. Now that he managed to calm himself down, he went could go and speak to her. She had to be done now. Husk had left to go buy that case and Alastor decided to walk back in order to clear his head. As he was about to open the door, he managed to hear talking behind it. Curious, he opened the door.

"And then what happened?" He heard her ask.

There on the couch was his mother and Sir Pentious. His smile stiffened. The snake had his head on his mother's lap. His hat was resting on the coffee table. He was crying, throwing his arms up in the air.

"Th-then he said he didn't even know wh-who I was!"

"Oh you poor thing." she cooed, stroking his hood.

"Mother?" Alastor asked, stepping up.

Both figures on the couch looked up at him. Sir Pentious instantly sat up, quickly drying his tears so the Overlord wouldn't see that he was in such an unfavorable state. Elli rubbed his back reassuringly. The snake sent her a look, giving a weak smile. The doe-demon stood up, crossing her arms as she gave a stern, disapproving look at her son.

"Alastor Willaim LaBlanc."

The deer demon stiffened at his full name being said. Oh geez. He was in trouble. What for he didn't know. He swallowed.

"Y-yes mother?"

"How could ya treat dis fellow in such a horrid manna'?" She started to scold him. "Ah raised ya betta' den dat!"

"I-I know b-but-" He fumbled, his ears flattening at her anger.

"No buts. Ya gunna apologize ta de man fer bein' so rude."

His eyes widen and his ears shot up. Apologize to him? He wasn't going to apologize to a lower wannabe overlord! And he was protecting the Hotel! He was a threat that had to be dealt with! He shouldn't be the one to apologize!

"A-a-apologize!? He...I...he-!?"

"Alastor." She frowned, arms crossed and tapping her foot.

The crimson stag whined. He could not believe that he made to do this. He shouldn't have to! He huffed, his smile tensing more as he went over to the inventor.

"I deeply apologize my good fellow."

He didn't mean. He really didn't. So the slap on the back of his head was a bit unexpected, causing him to give a surprised yelp. He placed a hand on the back of his head, turning to see her giving him an angry look. Her hand was on her hip while the other one was pointing at Sir Pentious.

"Alastor William LaBlanc. A propa' apology."

He whine, reluctantly turning back to the snake-demon.

"I'm very sorry for destroying your ship and..." he trailed off for a moment then remember what he heard as he was entering the hotel. "And not remember your name. I hope you can forgive my...harsh attack. I was just simply doing my duty as sponsor of this fine establishment."

"That's betta'." Elli nodded in approval.

Alastor's eye lightly twitched as his smiled tensed further. He was only doing this for her. He wasn't sorry at all. Now his desire to spend time with her was ruined. It was obvious that he wasn't going to get her attention today. It was very upsetting. But he wouldn't dare let his true emotions be shown in front of others. He had a reputation after all. No one besides those he trusted would ever see him in such a state. He swallowed the disappointment and frustration that was bubbling inside of him.

"I have some work that I need to do. Good evening mother."

Before she could reply, he magicked away. It was not right. Just because she was motherly didn't mean that everyone should demand her attention. After all he was her son. She wasn't just the hotel's mom. She was his first. And that meant no one should take her attention away from him. And he after today, he wasn't going to allow it any more.


Elli has settled into the hotel quite nicely! Offering advice and being helpful to her fellow hotel neighbors. Even to Sir Pentious! And poor Alastor. He's feeling neglected. But Alastor has a plan to gain his mother's attention back. What could it be? Thank you reading and please review!
