"Overture"
"Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light. Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation. But he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith. Equals as the first of mankind, but despite this, Adam demanded control and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love. Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the fruit of knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven had worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream. But Lilith thrived, empowering demon-kin with her voice and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year, they would send down an army, an extermination to ensure Hell and its sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter the princess of Hell." Charlie read The Story of Hell.
She held a key "Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud." Charlie said.
"Charlie?" a voice asked.
Charlie turned around, startled "Oh, shit. Did you hear all that?" Charlie asked.
"Uh… Yeah, I was right there." Vaggie said.
"Sorry. I get pretty worked up after an extermination happens. This story helps." Charlie said, holding the book.
Vaggie chuckles "I know. Don't worry. I enjoy your theatrics." Vaggie said.
"Are you okay?" Vaggie asked.
Charlie put the book down "I'm fine, just- thinking ya know, family stuff." Charlie said.
"Did you hear from your mom yet?" Vaggie asked.
Charlie shook her head "no" Vaggie speak "Off. How long has it been now?" Vaggie asked.
"Not that long, only... seven... years..." Charlie said.
She got up "Off doing something important, I'm sure. But this kingdom was something she really cared about." Charlie said.
She held herself tightly, "Something I care about." she said.
"Well, at least you aren't alone." Vaggie said.
The two hold hands "I just hope what I'm trying to do here will work." Charlie said.
Vaggie placed her left hand on Charlie's cheek "It will. I have faith in you." Vaggie said.
A cat-like demon jumped onto Charlie's lap. The doors opened a boy appeared he is white skinned like Charlie, he has yellow eyes and red pupils, he has black hair and was wearing a street looking jacket and shirt and pants.
"Oh hey Luke." Charlie said.
"Hey girls Alastor said he's got something to show you two." Luke said.
Everyone got down stairs and saw a commercial the first thing was a demon stabbing a demon "Well, hello there you wayward sinner. Do you like blood, violence and depravity of a sexual nature?" Alastor asked the demons.
"Of course you do. That's why you're in Hell!" Alastor said.
Upbeat music play "But what would you say there was a place to stay that had none of that?" he asked.
"Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, a misguided path to redemption!" he showed the hotel.
The commercial showed Charlie's face "Founded five days ago by Lucifer's delusional daughter Charlotte Morningstar!" Alastor said.
"Oh boy." Luke said in the background.
The next scene was Charlie with Katie Killjoy "Come place your fate in her inexperienced hands as she tries to work through her daddy issues by fixing you!" Alastor said.
Photos of Charlie and her dad were shown. The inside of the hotel was shown "Here, we offer fun things! Such as somewhat functional staff!" Alastor said.
Husk was shown and his face fell down on the bar Niffty trying to stab a bug "And 24 hour Pest Control!" Alsator said.
"Custom rooms, and just look at this tacky parlor!" Alastor's voice came up as the fireplace was shown with wood falling down and Charlie's pet being scared and Angel in the background "Enjoy riveting conversation with our singular resident." Alastor said.
Angel looked at the camera and gave the finger "Wait, hold up. Stop!" The scene paused.
"Just saying the author of this story does not like Angel Dust that much. Angel's episode was kind of boring so we're replacing a different episode with that." Luke broke the fourth wall.
The scene resume "Wow! All this and more at the Hazbin Hotel! Your last desperate attempt at salvation starts here." Alastor ended the commercial.
The two girls and boy were mostly just thinking "What was that?".
"So what'd ya' think?" Alastor asked.
Charlie and Vaggie were sitting on the couch while Luke was standing with his arms behind his back.
"I'm sorry, what the fuck was that?" Vaggie asked.
"Uh, yeah, one note…" Charlie had some notes.
"First off, thank you so much for making this seriously amazing, but um… maybe the tone is a bit… off?" Charlie tried to explained the notes.
"We want people to want to come here, this makes it look…" Charlie couldn't find a good word to end the sentence.
"It's kind of bad." Luke spoke up.
"Funny. I was going for hilarious!" Alastor said.
"It didn't explain anything about how we're trying to save demons from extermination, which is the whole fucking point." Vaggie said.
"Vaggie is right, Alastor. The commercial was to let Sinners know we are trying to help them." Charlie said.
"Well, my dear, I haven't been active in Hell for some time, and everyone remembers me from my radio show! The proper medium to express oneself!" Alastor said.
"But you insisted on this: noisy picture box advertisement, so I had a little fun with it." Alastor said.
"Oh, fun. You had a little fun with it?" Vaggie asked.
She stand on the couch "Well, this is not what we want to represent us. When you showed up here a week ago, you told us you would help run this hotel! Instead, you're mocking us. Nobody's going to want to come to a place that a powerful Overlord like you thinks is a waste of time!" Vaggie said.
Angel raised his hand up "What?" Vaggie asked Angel.
"If'n ya filmin' a commercial, can I suggest you take better advantage of the talented celebrity you have right here?" Angel asked.
"Angel, you're a porn star." Vaggie said.
"A famous porn star. I'll have the horniest sinners knockin' these walls down to get it." Angel said.
"No way are we filming a porn as a commercial." Luke said.
"Why not? Sex sells, don't it?" Angel asked.
"I swear if you fil me goin' at it with mister fancy talk-creepy voice here, you'd be rolling' in participants willin' to stay at this tacky hotel." Angel said.
"Haha! Never going to happen!" Alastor said.
"You say it mate." Luke said.
"Angel, I appreciate you wanting to use your special skills to, um, attract folks to the hotel, but- I really want to exploit you, in that way!" Charlie nervously said.
"Oh, please, baby." Angel said, while touching himself.
Angel continued "I got the arms, I got the stamina, I got the legs. I got the lung capacity- Oh-oh I got the legs, the gag reflex, the holes..."
Charlie laughs uncomfortably "-the chest fluff everyone thinks are tits." Angel said.
Charlie grabbed her phone she was getting a call from her dad. "I'll be right back." Charlie said.
Charlie leaves Luke followed her "Hey, uh, Luke you don't need to follow me." Charlie said.
"Well as your bodyguard I have to ensure your safety." Luke said.
"Just help Vaggie keep an eye on everyone." Charlie said.
"As you wish." Luke said.
Charlie answer the call "Hey, I have a question. If freaky face over there is so powerful, then why can't he just make people stay here?" Angel asked.
"Oh, trust me, I can!" Alastor ominously said.
"Why do you think I'm here?" Husk said to Angel.
"You actually think I'd be cleaning bottles and listening to you fuck's bitch and moan all the time if he wasn't forcin' me?" Husk reminded everyone he was being forced.
"I like being forced." Niffty said.
"Keep that to yourself, Niff." Husk said.
"What, you don't love being here with me, Whiskers?" Angel teased.
"Pretty sure no one like being here with you dude." Luke said.
"Angel, let Husk do his job. And no, we can't force sinners to stay here. They need to choose to." Vaggie said.
"I'm choosing to be here, and I think it's all stupid. We're in Hell, Toots. That's kind of the end of the road, ain't it?" Angel reminds Vaggie he doesn't believe in redemption.
"Well, maybe it doesn't have to be. Just because nobody has made it out before doesn't mean it's not possible." Vaggie said.
"Hey, whatever means I can keep crashin' here rent free. Crack is expensive." Angel said.
Charlie was done with her call with her dad and she got a chance to have a meeting with the leader of the angels Charlie and Luke head over to the meeting and meet Adam and Lute.
Meanwhile Vaggie and the staff work on a new commercial with no luck as Angel keeps being a gay spider, Husk can't memorialize his lines, Niffty freeze when on camera and Alastor doesn't want to be on screen as the camera get static. They were able to get one done.
On Charlie and Luke's end Adam refuses to listen to Charlie's plan and the two were kicked out.
They returned to the hotel just in time for the commercial but it was cut by Katie Killjoy who reveals the next extermination is happening in six months.
Adam and Lute found the body of a dead Exorcist.
