Shortly after the dance and the kiss between Alastor and Angel, neither had spoken since then. The kiss was so sudden which made Angel feel so uncomfortable being around Alastor. Angel would make up excuses to avoid talking to Alastor about the kiss or stay longer at Kara's club. Alastor on the other hand, was a complete mess. The kiss replayed in his head over and over again; he just wanted to talk to Angel about this. But every time he would get close to Angel, he always left in a hurry. Alastor didn't know what hurt more, Angel avoiding him or his feelings for Angel have intensified.
One day during the big rush at Kara's Karaoke Club, something unexpected happened. The club was busy as usual with all the contract souls serving couples when the doors opened. But instead of the usual beaten-up porn star from Valentino's studio, it was a new sinner. The new sinner was a cat demon much like Husk except this one was a female with pure white fur all over, her eyes were pitch black, and almost dressed like Jessica Rabbit. "Hey Angie, I think this one might give you a run for your money." Andy joked.
Kara playfully rolled her eyes at Andy's joke then she walked over to the new sinner. "Welcome to Hell. What brings you here, Miss…?"
"Valentine. Martha Valentine. I'm a pageant queen." the sinner replied.
"Honey, you may want to change that name. Every sinner here never goes by their living name." Angel stated.
Martha scoffed at Angel's suggestion, "I don't need advice from some washed-up has been. Anyway, I need a place to stay. I thought I was going to heaven when I died but I ended up in this rat hole. Ugh! This is the worst! What's a pretty gal like me to do?" Martha complained.
Kara had to fight the urge to slap the spoiled brat. She then gestured to the new sinner to follow her upstairs where the rooms were. She took her to an empty room and told her that she was welcome here anytime. But Martha took one look at the room and threw a hissy fit. "This is the best you have?!" Martha shrieked like a banshee.
"Ma'am please, you're in my club and I would appreciate some respect," Kara spoke, calmly.
But Martha just didn't stop complaining; she started picking things up and throwing them around, breaking them to pieces. Not wanting to deal with the spoiled brat anymore, Kara returned to the part of her club, making sure things were running smoothly. Almost everyone could agree that this new "guest" was the worst. Suddenly, a chill ran down everyone's spine, their hearts racing with fear or anxiety, Valentino was coming. Most of the workers, including Andy and Angel scrambled up the stairs to hide from their abusive boss. Kara didn't run; she knew how to handle Valentino and his manipulative ways.
When Valentino entered the club, his heels clicked across the floor which sent shivers down all the workers' backs. Kara had her hands on her hips with a scowl across her face seeing the Overlord of Lust walking into her club. "Val," Kara said, unamused.
"Kara, babydoll. I need a favor." Valentino stated in his seductive tone.
"Never call me babydoll. And I guess you didn't read the special. It is called, 'Any pimp walks in, gets a swift kick in the shins.' Now leave!" Kara spoke harshly.
Valentino pulled his cigarette from his lips and blew a puff of pink smoke right in Kara's face. Normally, Kara would be sputtering and coughing when Val blew his cigarette smoke in her face but she was used to it by now. "Come now darling, is that any way to speak to another Overlord? I just need Angelcakes back for a few shows…"
"Let me stop you there." Kara interrupted, "Angel isn't going anywhere with you. He's in my club, which means he is working with me. Find someone else for your dirt work, ya slime git."
Before Valentino could say a word, Martha came down the stairs to complain again about her dingy room. But her eyes fell on Valentino then a slow grin appeared on his face. He pushed Kara out of his way then he took Martha's hand and kissed it. "And who might this lovely lady be?" Valentino asked.
"Call me Aphrodite. Former pageant queen." Aphrodite bragged.
"Mmm… A queen you say?" Valentino said.
"I own the pageant game. Until I ended up in this dump." Aphrodite complained then she acted like a damsel in distress, "I just want to get back on top where I belong."
Valentino took Aphrodite's bait and then turned to Kara. "On second thought, tell Angelcakes that he can have a break. I got my new star right here."
With that, he and Aphrodite walked out of the club, hand and hand. When they were gone, all of the workers stepped out of their rooms and went back to work. "Man, I wanna feel sorry for Miss Brag Queen. But I don't." Angel spoke.
"For once, I agree with Angie," Andy stated, "She's Val's problem now."
The door to the club opened again and another sinner walked in. When Kara walked over to welcome the new sinner, she was shocked to see, Aphrodite, or at the very least another cat sinner who was identical to her. "Wait, didn't you just leave with Valentino?" Kara asked feeling confused.
The sinner was just as confused as Kara was; even though she looked identical to Aphrodite. The sinner is a pure white fur cat demon with pitch black eyes just like Aphrodite but her clothes are different. She wore ripped jeans, broken shoes, a faded shirt, and a jacket that looked more like a quilt with all the patches on it. The sinner was extremely shy and didn't say a word to Kara when she asked the question. She just walked to an empty table in the back and sat down. Some of the workers tried to talk to her but she didn't speak to them. She just sat there with a glass of gin on her table.
A female imp, Becca decided to give the sinner some company so she took a seat next to the sinner. "You know for a cat, you are a quiet little mouse." Becca joked.
The sinner let out a small chuckle, "Look at that, she has a voice." Becca said. "You got a name?"
"Victoria. I've been calling myself Victoria here in hell." the sinner spoke, softly.
"Cute name. So what brings you to Hell?"
"My bratty twin sister, Martha. We both died in a car crash and of course, I got sent to hell because of her. I guess I just missed her. Who's Valentino?"
The entire club went dead silent when Victoria said Valentino's name. She was confused as to why everyone just stopped when she said the name. Just then, Becca's husband, Blaine ran over to Victoria and told her to never mention that name again. "But why? Do you know him?" she asked.
Becca glared at her husband before breaking into song.
Becca:
We don't talk about Valentino-no-no
Don't talk about Valentino
But…
Becca and Blaine started to tell Victoria about how they had met Valentino in the first place.
Becca (Blaine):
Extermination Day…
(Extermination Day)
We were hiding in here,
And there wasn't a soul in plain sight
(No souls alive in plain sight)
The monster walks in with a mischievous grin
Blaine:
You're gone!
Becca got annoyed with her husband until Blaine pecked her on the cheek and let her continue.
Becca:
You're telling the story or am I?
Blaine:
I'm sorry, sugar babe go on….
Becca (Blaine):
Val then said; "Welcome to Hell"
(Oh how gracious…)
He promised he will treat us well…
(We were stupid and oblivious)
Now we're in his prison cell
(Well, it is still Hell but anyway…)
Both:
We don't talk about Valentino-no-no
Don't talk about Valentino
Victoria merely tried to walk away but Kara pulled her away from the couple. Being an Overlord, Kara knew just how dangerous Valentino was.
Kara:
Hey, grew to live in fear of Val's fluttering and growling
I can always hear glass shattering and falling
I associate him with the sound of clicking heels
(Click, click, click)
He's an Overlord with a look so deadly
Always leaves the others feeling unused, unworthy
And luring all the sinners with a soft kiss on their hand
Do you understand?
Andy then walked over to Victoria to tell her how Valentino abuses his workers and breaks them.
Andy:
A 10-foot frame, wings on his back
When you're called sweet names~
He'll stab you in the back
Yeah he breaks your dreams
And muffles your screams (Hey)
Becca, Blaine, Kara, and Andy circled Victoria, dancing around her.
All (Kara):
We don't talk about Valentino-no-no
(No, no)
Don't talk about Valentino
(Don't talk about Valentino)
Pretty soon, other sinners began to crowd Victori, telling her what Valentino had said or done to them.
Sinner #1:
He told my friend, "You'll be a star"
The next day, dead.
Ensembles:
No, no
Sinner #2:
He told me I'd break my heart and just like he said
Ensembles:
No, no
Sinner #3:
He said that all my money will be mine,
If I do what he says
Ensembles:
No, no
Your fate is sealed when he gets into your head.
Victori turned to the stage area where a single pink spotlight was shining on a pole. Dancing on it was Angel Dust, the one that had suffered the most from Valentino. Angel began to pole dance while telling Victori what Val had done to him.
Angel Dust:
He told me that the life of my dreams
Would be promised, and someday be mine
He told me as an artist I'd grow
But what grew is this pain deep inside.
Kara's ears twitched, she could hear the sound of clicking heels coming back to the club. Valentino.
Kara:
Hurry up, 'cause he is on his way!
Angel Dust (Valentino):
He told me that the man of my dreams
Would be just out of reach
Made a deal to another
It's like I hear him, now
(Angelcakes, I want not a sound out of you)
It's like I can hear him now, I can hear him now
Victoria:
Valentino…
Yeah about Valentino…
I need to know more about Valentino
Give me the truth about Valentino….
The same chill hit all the workers again.
Andy:
Everybody, the boss is here!
All:
Hide or scatter!
Victoria:
No, wait!
Everyone who worked for Valentino ran away to hide from Valentino. Karra told Victoria to go upstairs while she dealt with Valentino. But Victoria didn't run away.
All:
We don't talk about Valentino
Victoria:
Why did I say Valentino?
All:
Never trust Valentino
Victoria:
I never should have brought up Valentino….
When Valentino walked into the club; Victoria saw that he wasn't alone, her sister Aphrodite was with him. "Hey little sis, missed me?" Aphrodite said with a smirk.
"We're twins, ya bimbo." Victoria snapped, "What do you want?"
"I just thought I'd come by and tell you that I'm about to get back on top. I signed a contract with the wonderful Valentino. And to remind you that you'll always be nothing." Aphrodite bragged.
Victoria growled at her sister and she was about to attack her when Kara held her back. Kara told Valentino and Aphrodite to get out of her club or things will get messy. Both Aphrodite and Valentino turned away and left the club. When they were out of sight, Victoria's walls crumbled down and she broke into tears. She kneeled on the floor, crying her eyes out. Kara put her hand on Victroia's shoulder to comfort her. "You ok?" Kara asked.
"My whole life, I've always been second to my sister. I guess it doesn't matter now. She's the star and I'm just her loser of a twin. I can't even go to Heaven." Victoria sobbed.
"What if I told you that there's a way for you to get to Heaven?"
Victoria stopped sobbing when Kara mentioned Heaven. "What? How?" Victoria asked.
Kara called Angel and Andy from upstairs; they came down and Kara asked them if they could show Victoria the Hazbin Hotel. "Oh and before I forget, Angel you are not driving my car," Kara stated.
"You crash the car one time into a lamp post and you can't be trusted," Angel muttered.
With that, Angel and Andy took Victoria to the Hazbin Hotel to check-in. Charlie was all sparkles and smiles when Kara called her about a new guest at the hotel.
The second Victoria and the boys walked into the hotel, she was surprised by Charlie, welcoming her to the hotel. Charlie introduced her to Niffty, Vaggie, and Alastor who sorta freaked Victoria out a little. Victoria backed away from Alastor but she didn't see Husk behind her, drinking booze. She tripped over her own feet and ended up crashing on top of Husk. When she lifted her head and looked into Husk's eyes, her face flushed.
"I am so so so sorry!" she exclaimed, getting off of Husk. "I'm such a klutz."
"Hey Husky, looks like you got the girl after all." Angel joked.
