Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Roses, Bonding, and Hotel."

(December 26. Rosato Mansion, Rose Street, Royal Woods Michigan.)

Another usual and normal winter day, and this is where Lincoln Silva Hound is, sitting at the steps of the backyard alongside his girlfriend, Jordan and they both drink some hot chocolate and enjoy this calming time together.

Jordan then sees Lady Ace in the sky, and flying off. "Nice of Lady Ace to still be doing her job and watching out for trouble, have you had any bed time moments with her, lately?"

Lincoln nearly chokes on his beverage. "Whoa, calm it down there, Jordan. Now, we haven't yet, and I don't know when she might, and I get where you're talking about. I mean, Lady Ace is one sexy woman, she looks good in the suit, and she knows how to make things interesting when in bed."

"But take note, she is still someone else we know and have seen going around the town. You know her identity and we know that she just does what she does best. But, I think she goes to get love from me because she might still be coping after what went down, at Camp Mastodon."

Lincoln is concerned and he looks to his hot chocolate, and Jordan knows what he means. "After what went down, I am surprised the lady she is dating is not trying her best, or is she doing whatever she can to comfort her?"

Lincoln then explains. "From what Lady Ace told me, their first date was a total success, and they had a good time. They had another date, and I think a third one will come, but Katherine Mulligan informed me that she will do what she can, and help her get over it, but I think she has her own plans on how to do it."

Jordan is confused, and then she asks. "What is her plan?"

Lincoln sighs and then he explains. "I will have to record myself again for you, because I think I'm gonna get it on with both Lady Ace and Katherine Mulligan. A hellhound half-blood kid, a superheroine and a news reporter, not the first odd thing for me, but a first because I don't know how attractive Katherine Mulligan is." He then drinks his warm chocolate beverage.

Jordan is baffled, and then she smirks. "Well, that is something I look forward to seeing, perhaps I can learn to be far better than them, for when the time comes." she blushes and has this loving daze, and this makes Lincoln smirk and he goes closer to her.

"That is something I look forward to, because no matter how many women I have sex with, they cannot beat the face of beauty and true love within you, my dear darling Royal Rose." The two then close the gap and share a passionate kiss.

As they enjoy this moment of romance, they don't know that Lincoln's phone has a message, for a kill request.

Clients: Trent and Gwen Milton.
A married couple, at the age of 30. They wanted to open a fast food restaurant, but the machines that they ordered have been stolen, and so they tried to stop them and get them back, but they were killed by criminals, and they have enough cash to pay for some revenge. They manage a fast food chain, located in Gluttony Ring.

Targets: Neal Terrence, Wayne Archibald and Chuck Burns.
The three are in their late 50's, and are criminals, thieves and vandals. They always target fast food places, and have gone from robbing to taking he machinery and selling them for a higher cost, and they will kill anyone who gets in their way. They are located at Beverly Hills.

Results: Trap Neal in a small room, he has claustrophobia, and then once fear is within him, shoot him in the head. Wayne is afraid of demons, since he is religious, so strike fear into his soul and let demons kill the man, his major fear are succubus. Chuck on the other hand, just toss him into the fryer and with a grenade inside. Record everything and send to the clients, and if possible, return the stolen things.

(Ketcham Park.)

This is where we see two sisters, and they are just enjoying their moment here in this snow covered park, they are the Bingham-Horvitz sisters who were adopted by the imp couple, Moxxie and Millie. Lucy and EveLynn, and the duo are just enjoying this nice and calm snowy day.

As they walk around, they see Vark is here, and he is playing with Lana and her two dogs, and with Bobbie Fletcher watching over them, and Lisa is here playing with Darcy, and then Luan joins in. Luan has been tasked to watch over them, and she will bring them home soon.

Lucy then asks. "No games this week or any week EveLynn?"

EveLynn smirks. "Sure wish there was, but the Christmas days are over, and the next holiday is coming. I won't be part of a sport until next month, and that sport is hockey. The team and I are locked stocked and loaded. What about you sis, no plans for this week?"

Lucy shakes her head in denial and then she speaks. "Nothing planned, but chances we might be doing our usual kill gigs soon. Mom and Dad were talking about a Client and Target earlier, and we're gonna do that tomorrow. You ready for this thing?"

EveLynn smirks. "Always, and whatever it is about is bound to be worth it. Who knew that we came all this way, and all because of... Because of..." EveLynn then remembers how they all came to be in this new life and change, and so Lucy goes over and holds her hand. "Thanks Luce, I needed that."

They then duck when a snowball flies off course, and then they proceed to walk together, and then Lucy speaks after she let's go of EveLynn's hand. "You still troubled from the memories of the past?"

EveLynn sighs and she nods. "Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I know that I have been forgiven and given the new chance to change and see a better future, but it still pains me to know that I could've killed Lincoln, I mean we did recall that Paimon Ars Goetia guy, and that he spoke that Lincoln wasn't meant to live and all because of me, and that the rest of us would be doomed."

"His words are dark, and mean and I just... I really don't like that guy, and that does explain why Blitz and Stolas want nothing to do with him." EveLynn then puts her hands in her pockets. "There are so many ways that this whole thing would not have come true, and we are living a life away from what was meant to be, and yet I just feel a little paranoid."

Lucy then speaks. "You are not the only one, there are many horrible possibilities for a different outcome, but we shouldn't be worried about that, sis. Those are just different things going around someplace else, and glad it is not here. Lincoln is alive, and everyone else is doing alright, well some of us." they see Lana, and she has a snowball fight with Vark, and they race by a snowman the shape of her long gone, twin sister, Lola. "We are all still slowly healing."

EveLynn sees this as well, and then something comes to her mind. 'When Lincoln's hero counterpart shows up, I wanna talk to him about some stuff.'

(Hazbin Hotel. Pride Ring, Hell.)

The hotel seems busy now, and the aftermath from Christmas is over, and now we see Charlie is going through some things on her list, and she needs to be sure everyone is present and check, but then she notices someone is missing, and then she asks Husk. "Hey Husk, one of the sinners by the name of Terrence is not here, any idea where he is?"

Husk then looks around. "No clue, he said he was heading out to reason with some old buddies of his to follow the path here or something, I don't fucking know." he then goes back to his phone.

Charlie feels happy to know that the other sinners are trying to reason with others to be part of this system. She then checks on everything else, she then stops and Niffty races by, and she has a mop and bucket, and then Charlie goes into the dining hall, and sees everything here seems clean.

Charlie then goes to the kitchen and she sees Alastor is done washing dishes, and he can feel her presence. "Hello, my dear. What brings you to this place? We already dealt with breakfast and lunch, and there is no need to be concerned about dinner, apparently your special lady has that planned."

Charlie is happy to know this. "Thanks for the info, Alastor. I just came here to see if everything is doing alright. There wasn't anything missing after the party that we allowed Vortex to have here?"

Alastor snickers, and he wipes his hands. "Nothing off, nothing missing, nothing out of place and nothing wrong. There is no trouble at all, but there seems to be something troubling you. What seems to be the problem, my dear?"

Charlie then explains. "Alright, so you already know about these other versions from the other world, and I am just so confused and curious, I wanna talk to one of them about something, but it sounds like something that would be hard for me to do and I just wanna ask them about..."

Alastor then interrupts her. "You wish to ask about their world and the Hazbin Hotel and how it is a success, I presume?"

Charlie nods and then she continues. "I just... I know it doesn't seem like my business. But I just wanna know about that hotel, that Charlie and everything else she is doing. Did you hear from that hooded guardian man about that?"

Alastor then explains from what he heard. "He never for once did mention about the hell in the world he came from, well the world where those counterparts reside, and I didn't even bother to ask about the hotel within their world. But, I will tell you what, I will speak with the man and ask him more about the Hazbin hotel in his world, because I wish to know about my counterpart there. How's that?"

Charlie smiles and has stars in her eyes, and then she goes over and is about to hug Alastor. "Thank you, Alastor..." but he steps to the side and she misses, and then she remembers. "Right, right. You don't like being touched, sorry about that."

Alastor nods. "Indeed, now run along Charlie, you have work to do after all." Charlie nods, and she heads off. Then Alastor thinks about this. "The guardian will be a hard one to speak to at times, and at times he is not around. I do wonder how he will succeed to returning to the world he seeks to save."

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
