Crowley is with Charlie and Vaggie at News 666, just as Vaggie has said to him before, in order to advertise the hotel to the other demons to see. Needless to say, Crowley is not a single bit to happy about this, as he remembers just how terrible Katie Killjoy is, as well as her news reporting, considering that she is terrible as a person herself. In the way that he sees it, the entire thing is just a very, very horrible idea that is just waiting to break down and crumble beneath all of them. As Crowley looks at the TV, it suddenly went online, as Katie Killjoy and someone next to her, who is a demon that is wearing a gas mask of some sort, began speaking out to the audience that is watching their news, as they both spoke out.
"Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy."
"And I'm Tom Trench! Chaos out at Pentagram City today as a turf war is raging on the west. Between notable kingpin, Sir Pentious, and self-proclaimed spunky powerhouse, Cherri Bomb!"
Then, an image of a what seems to be a sort of snake demon appeared above them, which is Sir Pentious, black scales with multiple eyes all over, and is wearing a hat that has a single eye and mouth, as he appears to be posing for something. The picture would then later switch to another pic of a cyclops type of demon, which in is none other then Cherri Bomb, due to possessing a single eye, wearing a red outfit that exposes her midriff, and is joking a bomb in one hand, while flipping the bird with another. Katie Killjoy then goes out to explain what is going on that is leading to this.
"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 action clip of the battle is shown, as Cherri Bomb is shown throwing one of the egg demons at Sir Pentious, getting that one egg demon into his mouth, surprising Sir Pentious, before he spat it out and threw it back at Cherri Bomb. But Cherri Bomb threw her bomb into the air, cracked the Egg Demon in half, and encased the bomb inside of the egg shell, as she threw at Sir Pentious, who just has enough time to realize what is about to happen with a facial expression that screams 'oh shit' as the bomb explodes into his face. Tom Trench would later comment in how fierce the both of them are fighting.
"Those two seem to be really going at it, huh?"
Katie Killjoy agrees, as she spoke out on this.
"Looks like they're fighting tooth and nail for that hot spot!"
Katie Killjoy fished her hand into her cup, and pulled out a literal tooth and nail, which made Crowley unamused at the sight that he is seeing, as he then felt revolt and disgust of her eating them both, as Tom Trench spoke out in a tone that did not sit well for him, with the expression being the same for him.
"And I'd sure like to nail her hot spot! Hoohoo!"
Katie Killjoy, who did not seem to like it a single bit, then responds back, as she readies her cup in order to do something.
"Haha, you are a limp-dick jackass, Tom! Or should I say, no dick?"
She then holds the cup over Ton Trench's crotch and then pours it onto him without any sort of warning, causing excruciating pain to Ton Trench, who recoiled and curled over in agony, as he spoke out at this.
"Ugh...not again!"
As Tom is whimpering in pain, a picture of Charlie is shown to be above at the right of Katie Killjoy, who then speaks out at this.
"Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with the daughter of Hell's own head honcho who's here to discuss her brand new passion project! All that and more, after the break!"
Katie Killjoy later breaks the cup, as if trying to hold her composure, yet failing to do it, as she slammed her fist onto the table and snarled at Tom Trench.
"Suck it up, you little bi-"
Then, the TV shuts off automatically, as Crowley is shown to have snapped his fingers in order to turn it off quickly. Crowley puts his hands over his face, as he shakes his head at the sight of what he had seen Katie Killjoy to be like, as he then spoke out.
"Ugh...this is so such a horrible idea. Even a commercial would have been a better idea to do then go into an interview with someone such as her. All Katie is going to do is poke fun at the Happy Hotel and mock up for making something like this in the first place, maybe even change the story to make the Hotel seem bad instead of good!"
Beside him, Vaggie is shown to be help trying to tie Charlie's bow tie on her suit, as Vaggie nodded her head and spoke out.
"Well, honestly, you do make a good point in this, Crowley. But this is Charlie's plan, and we need to stick with it."
After she finished Charlie's bow tie, she speaks out to Charlie, concerned if she is ready for her interview with Katie Killjoy and the audience that she'll be facing.
"Okay, you know what to say?"
Charlie takes a deep breath and smiled, as she is pumped and ready to roll for the interview.
"Yea, let's do this!"
Crowley stepped forward, as he made a piece of paper appear in his hand.
"Umm...maybe we should practice first? I mean, I don't know how the demons will understand you. So, maybe we should do a test run first, so you know what to say for the demons to get you."
Vaggie nodded her head at Crowley, as she turns to look at Charlie.
"Yeah, maybe that's a safe idea. Maybe we should practice for a bit."
Charlie deflates a bit as she spoke out to them.
"Come on Crowley, Vaggie. I know what to say! I just feel like we need to...I don't know, make things sound more exciting!"
She then walks to a table with donuts on a plate, and picks one of them up, before throwing it away, although Crowley teleported it back to the plate, as Charlie had an idea, as an excited look appeared on her face, as she roses up in front of them.
"Hooo! What if I si-"
But before Charlie could finish what she is saying, Crowley and Vaggie beat her too it.
"Sing a song about what?"
Charlie smiled a bit at then, as she spoke out.
"You both knew I was gonna say that!"
Charlie boops Vaggie in the nose, and at the same time, pinches Crowley in the cheek, which made him blush in embarrassment at what she is doing with him, as it made him a little bit happy due to his smile being present. As soon as Charlie lets go though, Vaggie spoke out.
"Because we know you! But please don't sing! This is serious"
Vaggie ends, pleadingly, as Crowley nodded his head and spoke in his usual soft tone.
"Vaggie's right. Humans up there did not solves every single one of their problems just by singing their hearts out. And I don't think the demons will even take you seriously if you do that. You need to do this without any singing at all."
Vaggie nodded her head at him for this, as she agrees on what she is saying, with Razzle and Dazzle munching on the donuts. Charlie, however, is persistent, as she stands on top of a table and poses triumphantly, as she spoke with a smile.
"Well, you know, I'm better at expressing myself and my goals through song!"
But Vaggie, wanting to keep her from getting a little bit out of hand, spoke back to her.
"But life isn't a musical, huh."
Charlie slumped a bit, but reignited her spirits a bit, as another thing came into mind, as she held a piece of paper in her hand.
"Fine. But I have these other ideas of what to say! The highlighted bits are the best part!"
She shows the piece of paper to Vaggie and Crowley, as they look down at them paper, as Crowley got confused at the sight.
"Everything is highlighted. Which is even the best part of the plan? Is...is this even a plan?"
Vaggie looks at the paper and spoke out.
"Is this a drawing...?"
Charlie nodded, as she began to fantasize, and later has stars in her eyes at the sight of that.
"Yes! That's the happy ending, see?! Everyone smiling and happy in Heaven!"
Vaggie pinched her nose, as Crowley raises his hands up a bit to his chest nervously, with Charlie looking back at the list she made, as Vaggie spoke out.
"I don't think it's that simple. Just please follow the talking points we went over."
After a bit of phase, Vaggie grabs Charlie by the shoulders and pulls her close to her face.
"And do. Not. Sing!"
Charlie, a little bit frustrated at this, spoke out.
"Okay, fiiiiine."
As Charlie goes to the desk where the news stand is at, Crowley spoke out.
"Um, Charlie..."
This made Charlie turn around, as Crowley rubs his arms shyly with his face red again.
"If...if it all goes well for us and the Happy Hotel, I'll take you on a date."
Charlie blinked, and grinned a bit at this, as she spoke out, even using a fake British male voice to emphasize what she'll do.
"Alright then! I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills."
She salutes Vaggie and Crowley, who salutes back, which made Charlie happy, as she walks to Katie Kiljoy, who's smoking on a cigarette. Crowley sighed and spoke out.
"I really hope she is able to succeed in this. I don't like it if the Katie and the audience poke fun at her for what we're doing."
Vaggie then puts an arm and wraps it around Crowley's waist, as she got him to rest his head a bit on his shoulder, despite being a, as she spoke out.
"Yeah, let's hope so as well. Hopefully she knows what she's doing."
Crowley nodded a bit, as he nuzzles a bit, making his imp tail wag a little bit, which made Vaggie smile a bit. They watch as Charlie approaches Katie Killjoy as she extends her hand out to greet the news reporter demon before her eyes, although she is a bit nervous.
"Hiii! I'm Charlie."
Katie Killjoy, however, does not feel the same, as she has a dirty look present, and she breathed smoke out of her mouth, as she responds back.
"Katie Killjoy. I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but that would be a lie. And you can put that away. I don't touch the gays. I have standards!"
Charlie looked around for a bit, as Katie has snapped at her like she had done something that Katie did not like, as she responds back.
"Yeah? How's uh... how's that working out for ya?"
Katie sneered a bit as she rolled her eyes a little bit, as she then decided to be straight to the point in what she says, as she pokes Charlie in her breasts.
"Look, my time is money, so I'll keep this short. You're not here because we wanted you here. You're here because Jeffrey couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment. 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 demon "princess" wants to advertise."
Charlie then tries to explain herself to the demon news reporter before her very eyes.
"But I-"
But Katie Killjoy did not give her the time to explain, as she spoke out to her menacingly.
"So don't get cute with me, honey, or I will fucking bury you!"
Crowley did not like her response a single bit, as he clenched his fist, and red smoke began to come out of his eyes. But Vaggie held his hand and he calmed down, as the News Reporter then spoke out.
"And we're live."
Katie Killjoy, upon hearing this, rushes back to her seat, cracks her neck, and holds the papers in her hand, as she then spoke out.
"Welcome back! So, Charlotte!"
Charlie, feeling uncomfortable at the fact that Katie Killjoy had said her real name instead of the name that she feels more comfortable going by, not to mention the spotlight flashing her way to increase the anxious feelings she has, spoke out to her to correct her.
"It's... Charlie."
Katie Killjoy waves that off, as she responds back.
"Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about!"
Charlie nodded her head a bit, as she looks around and sees Crowley and Vaggie, who motions her to go on, before she then spoke out to the audience before her very eyes.
"Well...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. Hell is my home and you are my people. We... we just went through another extermination.
Katie Killjoy spots a slug and stabs it in the eye, as blood almost goes to stain Charlie, but Crowley raised his hand and the blood simply splattered into the table and disappeared. Charlie then slammed her fist onto the table, waking up Katie Killjoy who was beginning to sleep, as Charlie walks up from Katie's desk and around the audience.
"We lost so many souls, and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. I can't stand idly by while the place I live is subjected to such violence! So, I've been thinking: Isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation here in Hell? Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through... redemption?"
She wraps an arm around one of the News Reporters for a bit, before she lets the News Reporter go, and goes back to Katie Killjoy's table.
"Well, I think yes! So, that's what this project aims to achieve! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind! A hotel that rehabilitates sinners! Y'know? 'Cause hotels are for people passin' through... temporarily..."
Charlie said cheekily and nervously, but the response did not make the demons like the Hotel a single bit. In fact, the response made the demons look at her and wonder if what she is doing is very crazy. Vaggie looks at Crowley and whispers to him.
"Ah shit. Maybe you are right, Crowley. Maybe a commercial would have been a far better option than this."
Crowley pinched his nose, as he shook his head nervously, as he spoke out.
"This is not going to go well for Charlie."
Charlie looks nervous, as she spoke out to the demons.
"I think it'll serve a purpose... a place to work toward redemption... yay...!"
Unfortunately, this still did not move the demons, as even one of the members of 666 News, who is a cameraman, decided to take a chance to insult the Princess herself.
"Stupid Bitch."
The moment that he said that, Vaggie goes and slugs him in the face, Crowley raised his right and did a thumbs up at Vaggie, as she smiled at Crowley because he approved her of what she is doing. Charlie looks around and sees the demons aren't budging a single bit, and it saddens her deeply. But she is not going to just give up on them and let them believe that this is what it is meant to be, as a single fire of determination still exists inside of her to make the outcome of redemption possible.
"Look, every single one of you has something good, deep down inside. I know you do! ...Maybe I'm not getting through to you."
The moment that Charlie said that, Razzle and Dazzle became alerted, as Vaggie facepalmed at what is about to happen.
"Oh no."
Crowley looked a bit unease at what it is that Charlie is about to be doing. On one hand, he is very nervous of what Charlie is about to do, thinking that the other demons will just mock and jeer at her, but on the other hand...he is very interested and wants to know what sort of song that she'll be singing for the other demons to hear.
Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow
Charlie snaps her fingers as the room turns dark and a spotlight is shown over a piano that Charlie, Razzle and Dazzle start performing on. Charlie walks away from the piano as two news staff look at each other.
(I have a dream, I'm here to tell!
About a wonderful, fantastic new hotel!)
Charlie takes out a drawing of The Happy Hotel, to show the dream that she wants all of the sinner demons to take and give hope for themselves.
(Yes, it's one of a kind, right here in Hell!
Catering to a specific clientele!)
Charlie, she then goes to Dazzle and boops him in the nose, as both Razzle and Dazzle began to make some sounds.
(Razzle and Dazzle: Oooh-ooh-ooh!)
Charlie smiled, as she began to show her intent through her song, as she throws her arm around the necks of two bird demons, and brushes past a hellhound's tail.
(Inside of every demon is a rainbow!
Inside every sinner is a shiny smile!
Inside of every creepy hatchet-wielding maniac,
Is a jolly, happy, cupcake-loving child!)
Charlie then hands the masked demon a sparkling cupcake and pats his head, which made him confused and weirded out. She turns to Katie and Tom, as she continues singing out.
(We can turn them 'round!
They'll be Heaven-bound!
With just a little time down at the Happy Hotel!)
Crowley and Vaggie look at the scene before them, as Vaggie is clearly not too happy with this, while Crowley, although he himself is not happy with what Charlie is doing, he wonders what lyrics will be in a song, and right now, he is enjoying it.
Charlie then gets into action in her song, as she takes out syringe from a doll demon's head, takes a picture with a Siamese twin demon in its cage, fends off a several-eyed blob demon, stares at a snail demon out the window, boops a couch demon on the nose, and returns the stolen money to charity.
(So, all you junkies, freaks, and weirdos,
Creepers, fuck-ups, crooks, and zeroes,
And downfallen superheroes, hope is here!)
She then throws her hands behind the necks of two supervillain demons, as she then does some other stuff that did not seem, right for the song, as she dips her hair into the water by the pier, and holds a pair of panties in disgust.
(All of you cretins, sluts, and losers,)
When she said 'losers' it is directed to her rival, Helsa Von Eldritch, who has grey skin, light grey tentacles for hair, green eyes and teeth, and wears a pink dress with green fur and a black skirt. But the moment she was insulted, she turned into her demon form angrily at Charlie, which has her tentacles extended and spread out, multiple eyes all over her body, and has a mouth in her torso.
(Sexual deviants and boozers!
And prescription drug abusers!
Need not fear!)
Charlie backs away from a sex offender, turns to face a depressed demon, and then takes the drugs of another demon and burns it into a trash can that is on fire. And then, a demon is thrown into a wheelchair, and is pushed to see Dazzle and Charlie, who is in a doctor's outfit, as she shows said demon her clipboard that has a smiley face on it.
(Forever again
We'll cure your sin
We'll make you well, you'll feel so swell)
Then, Dazzle injects a large syringe into the demon's head, filling the eyes with pink liquid, which made the demon happy, although Crowley is not sure if the demon genuinely feels happy, or the serum forced him to be happy.
(Right here in Hell, at the Happy Hotel!)
Charlie is surrounded by demons watching her, and for a brief second, she changed into her true demon form, which had red horns pop out from her forehead, her eyes became red with yellow iris, and her teeth became sharp, scaring the demons, although she changed back just as quickly. She slid over Killjoy's right and then slid at Tom's left.
(There'll be no more fire,
And no more screams!)
Then, the scenery chanted, and Crowley looked amazed, as Charlie seems to have made the area into a beautiful sky with blue clouds, like on Earth, like she bent reality in a way that she did without trying, as she held a dog and Cotten Candy.
(Just puppy dog kisses, and cotton candy dreams
And puffy-wuffy clouds, you're gonna be like "Wow!")
She threw those away, and the words 'wow, became formed from clouds, as she held a check-in paper in her hand.
(Once you check in with meeeee!)
Vaggie held her face, as Crowley looked uneasy, as he can tell the demons aren't liking that, especially since she did somewhat insult them in this song. Charlie then starts to go around, confiscating a cartoon porn magazine, a phone from a vegan ranting demon, who she also takes a selfie with, and then grabs into spell books and crystal ball of a psychic demon.
(So, all your cartoon porn addictions, Vegan rants, psychic predictions, and Roman crucifixions)
She accidentally knocked over some crucifications, before she threw the confiscated items into a large cliff.
(End right here!)
Charlie then clenches the hands of two monstruous demons and points finger guns over a dog demon trying to steal baguettes from an insect demon whose hood flares open.
(All you monsters, thieves, and crazies,
Cannibals and crying babies,)
Charlie is shown bribing some Cannibals with a severed arm of some sort, and looks at a possum mother and her rabid babies shrieking onto her with an annoyed expression present onto her face, before she turns to look at a dog demon with drool coming out of her mouth due to having rabies somehow.
(Frothing mouth that's full of rabies, Filled with cheer!)
She then pulls a hellhound with rabies close to her, hugging her tightly, before the scene changed to show Charlie with a puzzle demon of some sort which she completes, until a wrecking ball demon comes into the scene to smash it, which Charlie gave a double thumbs up to.
(You'll be complete!
It'll be so neat!
Our service can't be beat!)
She then hugs three demons at the same time, and at the same time, she turns into her demon form yet again.
(You'll be on easy street! (Yes!)
(Life will be sweet,)
Then, a pentagram forms beneath her feet, as flames then danced around into a tornado of fire, as she closes her eyes with an excited smile present onto her face.
(at the Happy Hoteeeel!)
Then, the scene changes to a large land with candy and sweets behind her, as she finished the song with one word.
(Yeah!)
Affer that, Charlie was done, and is exhausted from the singing that she did, although possibly mentally and not physically. But the warning that Crowley has given to her before she started the interview...it had came true, as the demons now start to mock her, starting with the top hat demon.
"Wow! ...That was shit!"
And the moment that happened, the other demons began to insult and jeer at her, as Charlie felt crushed and hurt at this. Katie Killjoy and Tom laughs at this, as Katie then mocks her for that.
"What in the Nine Circles makes you think a single denizen of Hell would give two shits about becoming a better person?! You have no proof that this little experiment even works! You want people to be good?! Just... because?! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!"
Charlie, remembering one of her clients that is doing this, spoke out.
"Well, we have a patron already, who believes in our cause and he's shown incredible progress!"
Katie Killjoy then feigns shock, as she is curious at who it is that she brought into redeeming sinners.
"Oh? And who might that be?"
Charlie tries to look smug and confident, as she spoke out the name of the individual.
Oh, just someone named... Angel Dust!
Tom Trench, who remembers this name, simply spoke out.
"The porn star?"
Katie Killjoy turns to him menacingly and shouted out at him.
"You fucking would, Tom!"
She turns back to Charlie,as she is continuous to mock her, while also doing motions of a handjob.
"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."
Charlie begins counting with her fingers, as she responds back.
"Oh, I beg to differ! He's been behaved, clean, and out of trouble for two weeks now."
Then, a news staff spoke out to Katie.
"Breaking News!"
Killjoy shoves Charlie off her desk, as she does her usual news reporting job.
"We are receiving word that a new player has entered the ongoing turf war! Let's go to the live feed."
Unfortunately for Charlie and the Happy Hotel, The live feed shows Angel Dust stepping on an Egg Boi and throwing a grenade over at Sir Pentious with visible laughter in the background as Charlie stares at the screen in defeat, realizing that he decided to get into trouble.
"Oh…shit."
Angel Dust, in the background, rubbed more salt into the wound without knowing he's being watched by people who are seeing the Happy Hotel.
"I'm a bad person!"
Katie Killjoy decided to mock Charlie a bit, as she decided to continue the news.
"'Oh, shit' indeed! It looks like the one who just joined the battle is none other than, gasp porn actor, Angel Dust! "
Katie then turns to Charlie as she shakes her fist, and makes fun of her her again.
"What a juicy" coincidence! You must feel really stupid, right now.
Killjoy and Trench proceed to laugh at Charlie and does Jazz hands and both shouted simultaneously.
"Ratings!"
Charlie stares at the live feed in distress and attempts to block it from the audience's view.
"Don't look at this!"
But it was already too late, for they already did look at this, and Katie Killjoy looms over Charlie, as she proceeds to mock Charlie for her dreams.
"Well, it sure looks like your little project is dead on arrival. Tell us, how does it feel to be a total failure?"
The moment that she said that, everyone in room start bursting into laughter. Charlie tries to think of a much clever comeback against Katie and liken around, before grabbing her own
Yeah, well...How does it feel that I got your pen, huh?!...Bitch!"
The moment she said that, everybody instantly stops laughing while Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench give her the death stare. Charlie; realizing that she had messed up, chuckled nervously and dropped the pen.
"Ehehe...Oops."
Tom Trench runs off the set, as Killjoy's demonic form reveals itself as she looms over Charlie from the shadows. And before anyone knew it, it happened too fast, as Crowley teleported her out of the way, and Charlie and Katie got into a fight. As Crowley and Vaggie looked, Katie, who now has extra eyes and limbs resembling that of a mantis in her demon form, holds Charlie down with one of her hands, but Charlie gets free and tackles Katie, whine also launching fire to hit her. It instead hit Tom, who screams in agony, as he shouted out.
"WHY WON'T ANYONE HELP ME?!"
Crowley shook his head, as he spoke out.
"Oh for crying out loud, Angel. Of course you'd ruin it."
Crowley turns to Vaggie, who is also enraged at what Angel Dust decided to do, as Crowley spoke out.
"Want me to help Charlie?"
Vaggie nodded her head at him, her expression still mad, as Crowley nodded, as Crowley ran to stop Katie Killjoy.
Charlie and Katie are now screaming at each other, as Charlie is holding her own despite not being in her demon form. Katie then tries to raise one of her fists to punch her. But then someone grabbed her from behind, as she is grabbed by the neck. She looks and she got scared at the sight. Grabbing her by the neck is a tall demon with sheep horns that arc upwards a little bit yet curve to point downwards with a spike at the middle of the curved part, he is at the height of 8'5 feet, the claws are longer, the 2 pairs of crow wings shown in their brilliant glory, as the imp tail is also shown to be longer as well, with the goat hooves replaced by 3 toes with talons on them, with the feet behind a sort of hind build, as a smile is shown to be on his face, although the smile seems to be forced to an extent, showing sharp teeth with blood leaking out, and tattoos depicting arcane and occult iconography are present all over his body. Crowley, partially in his demon form, hissed a bit and spoke out in a distorted tone.
"Let's see how much you'll talk after a lot of broken bones. This will make it a good "breaking news' you failure."
He then threw Katie Killjoy into a building, but crashed into others behind that one she crashed into, as she is suffering a bunch of broken bones at this. Seems she'll be in hospital for a long time. He grabs Charlie by the shoulder and teleports next to Vaggie, as he changes and shrinks back to his usual self. He then turns to see a demon charging at them, but Crowley created an Egyptian Khopesh and sliced its leg, making it fall to the ground, but did not kill him, as he spoke out.
"This is a mess. We gotta get back to the Limousine! Especially since all the demons are fighting."
Charlie nodded her head, seeing the audience fighting against one another, as Vaggie spoke out.
"Yeah, especially with all the demons brawling at the news station. Nice that Lucifer's deal made you an Overlord, which I guess is beneficial. And Angel Dust, I am so gonna have a word with him!"
In a Limousine, on the way back to the Happy Hotel after getting out of the fight with Katie Killjoy, Crowley, Vaggie, Charlie, and Angel Dust are shown to be inside of it, with Angel Dust on one side, and the other 3 on the other side. Charlie's sitting at the right with her coat originally torn, which Crowley fixed with his power, Crowley putting his hands on his lap, looking a little bit uneasy, although a feeling of anger is still present inside of his nervousness, with Vaggie crossing her arms and glaring at Angel Dust angrily, who is playing with the car window.
After a little bit, Angel Dust took notice of Vaggie's glare, and he sighed, as he then spoke out to her.
"What?"
Vaggie, not very happy with his bored and uncaring tone, shouted back to him with anger in her eyes.
"'What?' WHAT?!' What were you DOING?!"
Crowley shifted uncomfortably due to seeing how enraged Vaggie was being because of Angel Dust's careless actions of what he had done before in that turf war with Cherri Bomb. Angel Dust, not brother by how she is acting, spoke out.
"I owed my girl buddy a solid! Isn't that a "redeeming quality"? Helping friends with stuff?"
Crowley then took the turn to speak at this, and although his tone is soft, he clearly is mad with what he had done.
"Well, only to an extent, yes. But this is not the extent that is redeeming. In fact, that was way too far."
Vaggie nodded fast, as her teeth clenched a bit.
"Yeah! And that part that was way too far involved going into turf wars and causing a whole bunch of shit load is trouble!!"
Angel Dust shrugged, thinking it was funny, as he spoke back to them.
"Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred. Ehahahahahah!! It wasn't that bad, anyway!"
He attempted to play with the button again, only, when he touched the button, his hand to start smoking up.
"Ow!!!"
Angel Dust recoiled from the window and blew onto his hand, and he looks to see Crowley's eyes glowing, which then stopped a bit, as Angel Dust spoke out in an annoyed tone, as he brushed his hair back and messes with the fur on his chest..
"Aw, come on! I had to! My credibility was on the line! I mean, what kind of reputation would I have if people found out I was tryna go clean? It just throws out my entire persona!"
Crowley, however, was not amused, as he then spoke back again.
"Angel Dust. Caring only about your credibility is not an excuse to go and ruin what we had worked so hard for."
Vaggie nodded in agreement, gesturing at the defeated form of Charlie, as she shouted out and combusts a bit.
"Yeah like, your credibility?! What about the Hotel's?! Your little stunt made us look like a fucking joke!"
Angel Dust scoffs at this, as he spoke out to Vaggie with no care for what he had done.
"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!"
Angel Dust then looks around the entire interior of the Limousine, as he spoke out.
"This thing have any liquor?"
Crowley narrowed his eyes a bit, as red mist starts to come out of his eyes, as Vaggie snarled out to him a bit.
"Can you please just try to take this seriously?"
Angel Dust flicks off some dust off of his coat, as he spoke out, clearly not interested in what she demands from him.
"Fine, I'll try. Just don't get your taco in a twist, baby!"
He snapped his fingers at Vaggie, but then they bent backwards, causing pain.
"Ow!!"
Crowley looks to see Crowley flicked his index finger a bit, before he lowered his hand. Although Crowley does not like doing this, the days he spent inside of Hell made him far more willing to hurt others, even though he tries his best to feel disgusted about it. He does not understand the reason why he is acting the way that he does. Vaggie looked madder, as she spoke out.
"Was that you trying to be sexist or racist?!"
Angel Dust shrugged, as he spoke out back to her.
"Whatever pisses you off more. Is there seriously no liquor in here?! AUGH!!"
He is suddenly hit from the back of his head, and he looks to see that Crowley had made a portal and punched him with a bit of his strength, as he spoke out to him.
"What do we look like, a bar?"
He retracts his hand and closes the portal, as Vaggie crosses her arms and spoke to Charlie angrily.
"I'm gonna kill 'im."
Angel Dust, seeing this as one hell of a joke for him, speaks back to her confidently with his arms crossed.
"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!"
Vaggie, now getting very pissed at him, has a skull formed from her iris and pupil, as she snarled in Spanish.
"¡Con una mierda, malparido hijo de-!" (English: For fuck's sake, you bastard son of-!)
Angel Dust then responds back once more, as he looks around the limousine window, smirking.
"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!"
Vaggie, deciding to call him out on this, crosses her arms and smirked.
"You're one to talk."
Angel Dust, not happy with this, motions at his own body, as he responds back.
"Hey! This body is flawless! Everyone wants summa me, and I've got the creepy fan letters to prove it!"
He then takes out a letter and hands it to Vaggie. But before anyone realize what was about to happen, a lightning bolt suddenly hits Angel Dust's letter, shocking it, as well as electrocuting Angel Dust himself. The shock ended, and the letter was burnt black and crumbled to ashes. Angel Dust looked at his floor, and saw that all the letters are ashes, as Angel Dust shouted out.
"Hey, what the fuck?!"
Vaggie looks to see that Crowley made a finger gun gesture, as he spoke back to him.
"Well, now you went from having a bunch of stalker letters to getting zero fan letters in the end."
Vaggie, seeing this, began to snicker at what Crowley had done, as Crowley chucked a bit himself, as Angel Dust spoke back.
"Hey, that ain't fucking funny here!!"
Crowley, hearing this, spoke back to him.
"Oh, so you think it's 'funny' to ruin the reputation of the Happy Hotel we had worked so hard on, yet you don't seem to think it's funny that I burn some useless letters that you have and hog all for yourself to have and see?"
Vaggie felt it a bit more funny then before, as she began to chuckle, as Angel Dust looked annoyed, and spoke back to him frustrated.
"Hey, at least my sense of humor is far more greater shit then what-MPH!!!"
Angel Dust's mouth was suddenly sealed shut, as if someone had made a zipper form onto his lips. Vaggie stopped for a bit, and she turns to look at Crowley, who has his right hand up with both his index finger and thumb pressed together, as if he had made a 'zip it' gesture to seal Angel Dust's mouth. Angel Dust began to panic, and tried desperately to open his mouth, as Vaggie laughed very hard at what Crowley is doing, as Angel Dust tried to grab at his own mouth to make it open forcefully, even banging his own head against the windows, yet nothing is happening, and after a minute of this, Charlie spoke out.
"Umm...Crowley, I think Angel's had enough."
Crowley sighed, as he opened his hand, and Angel Dust began to open his mouth again, inhaling and exhaling loudly, as he looked like he is about to suffer a panic attack of some sort, with Crowley sighed and spoke out, his soft tone still ever present, and yet he does not hide how unhappy he is.
"Angel Dust, I don't care what sort of reason you have that made you do what you did, that is no excuse to commit such an act. If you care only about your own credibility, then you are clearly living in the wrong place to protect it. Once we're back at the Happy Hotel, this time, you're paying for your room every month, starting today."
Angel Dust looked annoyed at this, and although he tries to play it off like it is a small thing, his body still shook from fright and panic from what it was that Crowley had done to him, as he snapped his fingers at what he had heard from Crowley's mouth.
"Aw, shucks."
Crowley sighed and he puts his hands on his face, clearly not happy with what, as Vaggie whispered to him.
"Well, at least you put him in his place, despite being younger than him. Glad that the Hotel has an Overlord like you to make him take the hint."
Crowley looked back at Vaggie, as he spoke back to her.
"Maybe, but it still doesn't change the fact that the entire thing is ruined thanks to him. It's gonna take us, maybe months in order to get everything back in order. Seems like we're back to the drawing board because of this."
Vaggie sighed and nodded her head, as Charlie spoke out. Charlie, seeing how down their expressions are, takes of her coat, and puts her hand on both Crowley and Vaggie's shoulders, as she spoke out.
"Hey, come on. We don't know if things are over yet! Try to relax, Vaggie, Crowley. I-it'll be okay!"
Crowley and Vaggie smiled softly, as Crowley looked down, as he learned his head against Vaggie and held her hand, which she doesn't mind, and actually likes it, as Charlie held Vaggie's hand, as well as making a portal to hold Crowley's hand. At least when Charlie is still with them, they are able to feel better.
They were able to go back to the Happy Hotel, and all 4 of them went out of the limousine, as they went to the front of the building. Vaggie opened the building and went onto the couch, laying and facing towards the wall. Crowley then conjured up a blanket, and puts it over Vaggie, which made Vaggie smile in appreciation, as she grabs onto the covers and puts it over herself.
"Thanks Crowley."
Crowley nodded his head a bit, as he turns to see Charlie, who is sitting down onto a crate, as Angel Dust fishes through the fridge and goes around to try and find what he wants to have, and was able to find a popsicle.
"Eh, it's probably a good idea to get some actual food in this place. Y'know, to feed all the wayward souls you got in here! Ahahaha! Ahaha...! eh... ah..."
Angel Dust tries to sound like his usual self, but he looks at how defeated Charlie is. He reaches his hand out to her, but he immediately back down, with Crowley's staring at what Angel Dust is doing not helping matters at all. Angel Dust goes away, and Crowley turns his head 185 degrees with no form of pain or discomfort of what he is doing. He then goes back to look at Charlie, who is going outside. Charlie, now all by herself, goes to her phone, and began to call someone, her mother, Lilith, as she shrinks and falls to her knees and leans against the door.
"Hey, mom. I know I keep calling and you must be busy... Really busy... But, um, the interview didn't go well. and... I don't know if I'm ever going to make a difference."
She began to tear up at what had just happened because of Angel Dust ruining her plan, as she wipes the tears away, as she continues to speak out.
"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..."
She wipes her face one more time and stands up, as she spoke her final sentences to the call that she is making for her mother.
"I'll stop talking before this gets long. Love you, bye..."
She ends the phone call and walks back inside of the Hotel, before she slides down the door, as another tear began to leak from her eyes. She goes to wipe it, but then an arm extends to her holding a handkerchief. She looks and sees that Crowley is the one holding it. He is looking sad, but he is not crying at all. Charlie looks at him, before she grabs it and used it to wipe her tears away. Crowley sits next to her, and spoke out.
"Hey...it will be okay, Charlie. Besides, you aren't the only one in this. Me and Vaggie are here with you, remember? We'll get through this together and make this Hotel's purpose be a possibility. You haven't given up on that, right?"
Charlie, hearing this, shook her head, as she looks at Crowley and smiled.
"No...no I haven't given up on this. I still am determined to see this through."
Crowley smiled, as Charlie then hugs Crowley tightly, his head buried into her chest a bit, as she spoke out to her.
"Thank you, Crowley. For being there for Vaggie and Me."
Crowley smiled as he hugged back, before the both of them separated after a minute. But then, Charlie, out of complete nowhere, kisses Crowley on the lips. Which caught him by surprise and made him nervous with his cheeks red. Crowley, however, did not back down, as he kisses back, before the both of them separated a bit. Charlie and Crowley smiled at one another, as the feelings between them are evident.
Charlie...she has no way to describe why she and Vaggie manage to feel this way to Crowley of all people. But...the way he acted towards them. Being kind and respectful and willing to help them despite nothing to gain out of it. Plus, his shy and nervous nature at times, whenever he feels that way, made both Vaggie and Charlie felt endeared to him, despite them both being a couple already. And yet, Crowley manage to somehow win them without trying. Perhaps his kind demeanor is the sole reason as to why Charlie and Vaggie began to feel this way for him. But as both Charlie and Crowley were having their moment, Crowley's eyes widened, and he looked nervous, as he turned around and spoke out.
"Oh man. There's someone outside. I can feel them."
Charlie was confused and was about to question what he meant, but then a knock on the door was heard. This made Charlie shocked, as both her and Charlie looked at the door. Crowley and Charlie looked at one another with a feeling of uneasiness present. Crowley stepped back just as soon as Charlie goes to the door. She opens it, and Crowley's eyes widened, as he sees who it is at the door, and while normally for most, most would be scared of him...for Crowley...he was enraged beyond belier at who he is seeing, as his eyes opened, glowing a bright red.
Standing in front of the door of the Hotel is a tall, slim, dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin and has a smile on his face that shows his sharp yellow teeth and around the height of 7 feet. He sports a red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, resembling that of the ears of a deer, with the style having an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown, his eyes having dark-red sclera, bright-red irises and thin black pupils. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoofed toes and red fingers. The attire of this demons is a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with black, which is ragged along the bottom hem, and has black shoes. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long dark-red dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye. a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. In one of his hands is what seems to be a staff with a microphone present at the tip, which Hans a single red eye in it. Crowley, upon seeing this demon, remembers him, as the demon spoke out.
"Hel-"
But Charlie slams the door onto him, and she turns to the side with a horrified look on her face, as she turns back and opens the door again, as he continues to say his one word.
"-lo."
She slammed the door again, and looks at Crowley, who looked flabbergasted at her for opening the door again. She turns to Vaggie, as she spoke out to her.
"Hey, Vaggie?"
Vaggie, who is annoyed because of Angel Dust now beside her, speaks out to her.
"Whaaaat?"
Charlie smiles nervously, as she points to the door.
"The Radio Demon is at the door!"
Vaggie, upon hearing this, sits up in a panic and gets the blanket off of her.
"What?!"
Angel Dust looks at Vaggie and spoke out, getting the popsicle out of his mouth.
"Uh...who?"
Charlie, looking a little unsure, spoke out to Vaggie.
"What should I do?!"
Crowley then hid in the darkness, as he bent it around him to make himself hidden, as Vaggie spoke out.
"Uh, well- Don't let him in!"
Charlie thought of that, but then, she decided to disregard Vaggie's warnings and goes to the door. Braving herself at the sight of the door in front of her, she goes to the door, and opens it, as Crowley looked in shock, and facepalmed at this.
"Charlie, why?"
As soon as she did, the Radio Demon is still in front of the door, as he spoke out.
"May I speak now?"
Charlie nodded her head, as she spoke out.
"You may..."
The Radio Demon extends his hands out and grabs her hand and shakes it, as he introduces himself.
"Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart! Quite a pleasure!"
He then lets himself in and goes into the Happy Hotel, as he spoke out.
"Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on a 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! Hahahahaha, so many orphans..."
Alastor plays with his mic staff for a bit, before Vaggie comes to him with a spear in her hand, and aims at his chest, as she threatens him.
"Stop right there, cabrón hijo de perra (English: bastard son of a bitch)! I know your game and I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here, you pompous cheesy talk show shitlord!"
Alastor did not seem threatened by this. In fact, he seems to be amused, as he puts the spear down with his fingers and spoke out.
"Dear, if I wanted to hurt anyone here..."
Then, Alastor's smile widened and his eyes became radio dials, as he spoke in a distorted voice.
"I WOULD'VE DONE SO ALREADY..."
Then, the entire environment began to turn to red static, and voodoo symbols began to appear behind him, as it began to glitch, making Charlie and Vaggie unnerved and scared. But then, all of a sudden, Alastor felt something sharp on his neck, and it made him stop a bit. Alastor turns his head around 180 degrees, with Charlie and Vaggie looking behind as well, and they saw something that stunned them. Behind Alastor was none other then Crowley who came out of hiding, his eyes now having a black sclera and red pupils, gone were the grey irises, as he is holding what seems to be a black double-edged battle axe in his hand with red on the sharp edges, as he spoke out.
"I never thought you'd have the nerve to come here, Alastor."
Alastor, seeing the tone in that he knows him personally, spoke out to him.
"Oh, and do I know of you, good sir?"
Crowley narrowed his eyes, as he spoke out.
"I think you do. Remember this? The man that turned off those TVs when that technology demon was there?"
He snapped his fingers and a familiar with cloak appeared around Crowley. This made Alastor surprised, as he does recognize that attire, as Alastor spoke out.
"Oh, yes, now I remember you! It was such a pleasure to meet another individual such as yours! Our first meeting is such a pleasure!"
Crowley, however, spoke back.
"If you call, trying to trick me into making a deal with you a pleasure you I can be bound to you, then that is a mistake! I was even forced to go into a fight with you because I pushed you away for not leaving me alone, all back in that third week of me being in Hell. You call that a pleasure?"
Vaggie, upon hearing this of what Alastor had done, raised her spear again in order to prepare to attack him. But then, all of a sudden, the entire area changed. The temperature inside of the building drop to 0, as if winter has arrived way to early, as the hotel began to freeze. Crowley flared angrily, as his eyes leaked red smoke and the horns on his head began to grow longer and larger, with Occult Symbols appearing around him, as everyone's perception of reality began to warp and wave a bit, as Alastor's voodoo symbols appeared with the Radio Dials replacing his eyes yet again. But Crowley then felt someone grab his hand, and he turns to look and see Charlie grabbing him by the hand, and has a pleading look onto her face, which finally made Crowley calm down and stopped using his powers, and his horns shrunk. Although his eyes did not change back, as Crowley's tail whipped a bit, and he looks to Alastor.
"What do you want in coming here, Alastor. I know you did not simply come here to drop by for a single hello."
Alastor's smile, which hasn't left his face, spoke out.
"Well, my good man, I'm here because I want to help!"
This made Crowley confused, as made his axe disappear, and Charlie spoke out confused.
"Say what, now?"
Alastor repeats himself, as he taps on his microphone.
"Help! Hahaha, hello? Is this thing on? Testing, testing!"
The microphone's single eye opens, and it spoke out back to Alastor.
"Well, I heard you loud and clear!"
Charlie and Vaggie looked unease at this, as Crowley moves out of the way, and Charlie speaks to Alastor unaware that his shadow is growing between them both.
"Um, you want to help? With...?"
Then, Alastor teleports in the place of the shadow, as he grabs onto the both of them.
"This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel! I want to help you run it.
Vaggie and Charlie looked confused, although Vaggie is clearly uncomfortable, as Charlie spoke out.
"Buuut... why?"
Alastor spoke back at the question Charlie said without hesitation.
"Hahaha, why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades. My work became mundane, lacking focus, aimless! I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Hahaha!"
As he said that, Alastor shoves Vaggie away, but Crowley teleports to her and catches her, as Vaggie steadies herself onto Crowley. She smiled thankfully at him, as they looked back at Charlie's conversation with Alastor.
"Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment...?"
Alastor laughs at this, as he responds back.
"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 then spoke out a question with some hope present into her voice.
"So, does this mean you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?"
Crowley then responds back.
"Charlie, who do you think you're responding to? Alastor isn't here to believe in redemption. He doesn't even consider it possible and thinks it's stupid to even exist."
Alastor smiled at Crowley, as he spoke out and shook his head back and forth at the concept of redemption.
"You have a very sharp mind, my good sir! And you're right on that! That's wacky nonsense! Redemption, oh the non-existent humanity! No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners!"
Vaggie looked offended at this, and Angel Dust just shrugged, and Crowley's eyes narrowed at this, the smoke became more thicker out from his eyes, as his sharp teeth bared, almost feel like he was own second away from using his full power on Alastor. The Radio Demon gestures outside to the entirety of Hell as he continues his views on what he sees to Charlie.
"The chance given was the life they lived before, the punishment is this! There is no undoing what is done!"
Charlie looked hurt, but at the same time confused, as she spoke to him.
"So, then. Why do you wanna help me if you don't believe in my cause?"
Alastor then pulls Charlie towards him as he spoke his reasons why.
"Consider it an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself! 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, very uncomfortable at this, grabs his hand and removes it from her shoulder, as she grimaced at his explanation.
"Riiiight."
Alastor then grabs her by the waist and drags her, as he continues speaking out.
"Yes, indeedy! I see big things coming your way and who better to help you than I?"
As Alastor drags her off, Crowley turns to her and spoke out to her.
"Vaggie, this is really, really horrible. The Radio Demon, of all people, inside of our Hotel we've been working so hard on."
Vaggie nodded, as she spoke out.
"Yeah, and horrible doesn't even describe how much in deep shit we are in. Alastor here could ruin all that we have been working so hard on in making the Happy Hotel work."
Angel Dust, unconcerned about the Radio Demon, spoke out.
"Uh, so... uh, what's the deal with Smiles over there?"
Vaggie looks at Angel Dust, as if he had said something crazy, as she spoke out.
"Wait, you've never heard of him before? You've been here longer than me and Crowley!"
Angel Dust shrugs cluelessly, not seeming to care, as Vaggie looked annoyed, and spoke out to him.
"The Radio Demon. One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?"
Angel Dust then shrugs a second time, as he responds back bored.
"Eh, not big on politics."
Crowley looks at Angel Dust and spoke back to him.
"Seriously? You have been here longer than me and Vaggie, yet somehow you don't know of one of the most dangerous Overlords to exist. Wonder if you being ignorant is the reason you literally suck at whatever job you have."
Angel Dust looked insulted, as Vaggie snickered a bit, before regaining her composure and decided to explain for a bit, as she made a visual representation of Alastor's moments in Hell in front of them.
"Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell, seemingly overnight. He began to topple Overlords who have been dominant for centuries. That kind of raw power had never been harnessed by a mortal soul before. Then, he broadcast his carnage all throughout Hell just so everyone could witness his ability. Sinners started calling him "The Radio Demon". 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!"
Crowley nodded, as he spoke out.
"I have already seen how dangerous and insane Alastor is because of all that he has done, and needless to say...getting on his bad side is the last thing I need, considering he can do a lot worse then what he suggests."
Crowley looked down, as he remembered the time that he had fought against Alastor when he first met him. And needless to say, it ended badly for the both of them, and Crowley had to spend the rest of his day recovering from that moment. Angel Dust continued to not care and act bored, and spoke out.
"Ya done? Hehehehehehehe! He looks like a strawberry pimp. OW!!!"
All of a sudden, Crowley hits him in the head a club, which hurts a lot for Angel Dust, who rubs the top of his head, as Crowley spoke out.
"Clearly, you are not the brightest because of how ignorant the danger is. Guess that means you don't care if he kills you or not, huh?"
Angel Dust glares at Crowley, who looks at him with an unamused look, as red smoke continues to leak out of his eyes, as Vaggie spoke out with her arms crossed.
"Well, I don't trust him!"
Angel Dust then responds back, pointing at her.
"To be fair, do you trust any man? Any men? Men?"
Vaggie then grabbed Crowley by the hand and spoke back.
"I trust Crowley, because he's genuinely kind and generous, and is everything you aren't and never will be."
Angel Dust felt even more insulted, as Crowley and Vaggie went to Charlie, as Vaggie grabbed her by the shoulders and spoke out to her.
"Charlie, listen to me. You can't believe this creep! He isn't just a happy face! He's a deal-maker! Pure evil! He can't be redeemed! ...And is most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do!"
Crowley nodded her head and spoke out.
"I know him well enough that Alastor is not here to help the hotel simply because of seeing it fail. I don't he has ulterior motives in store, and he'll be playing us like idiots caught in his strings. You can't simply trust someone who's smiling all the time."
Charlie sighed as she looks down at the ground, before speaking to both Vaggie and Crowley.
"I...look, I know he's bad, and I know he probably doesn't wanna change, but the whole point of this is to give people a chance! To have faith things will be better! How can I turn someone away? I can't. It goes against everything I'm trying to do. Everything I believe in.
Crowley shook his head, his eyes stopped leaking red smoke, as he turns to see Alastor observing the family portrait of Charlie with her parents, Lucifer and her mother, Lilith, who is absolutely beautiful, worn only Charlie matching that beauty. Crowley goes to the window to check too see if anyone is coming, as Charlie grabs Vaggie by her shoulders and spoke out.
"Just... trust me. I can take care of myself!"
Charlie smiles reassuringly, as Vaggie then spoke out in a warning tone.
"Charlie, whatever you do, do not make a deal with him! Crowley made a deal with your father, and look where this had lead him. Yes, I know that he had his heart in the right place, and I would have done the same in his position, but look at him!"
Crowley said, pointing at Vaggie, or rather, at his new demon form, as she spoke out.
"Crowley has no home to go back to, no brother to reunite, and now has become a demon and probably won't be recognized by his brother! Yes, he saved him, but he got screwed over in the end!"
Charlie, although seeing her point, spoke out confidently to her.
"Don't worry, I picked up one thing from my dad! 'You don't take shit from other demons!'"
She goes to talk to Alastor, and Crowley appeared beside Vaggie.
"Vaggie...about what you said to me...about my deal with Lucifer...do touch really think I got screwed over?"
Vaggie sighed a bit, as she spoke back.
"Kind of. Look, I don't doubt nor blame you for doing what you did back there, I just thought the payment could have been more better then what you had."
Crowley looked down and smiled, as he then spoke out to her.
"Well, at least my brother, Set, is still alive. I may not be able to meet him again...but, it's at least worth it."
Vaggie smiled a bit, as Charlie spoke out to Alastor.
"Okay, so, Al. You're sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here as a joke."
As she turned around, Voodoo symbols appeared and Alastor's eyes glowed, and Crowley has his eyes glow with Occult symbols present, ready to attack him if he does anything, before Charlie turned around and the symbols are gone, and Alastor's eyes are back to normal, with Crowley being the same with the Occult Symbols, as Charlie continues to speak to Alastor, as she does some hand gestures.
"But, I don't. I think everyone deserves a chance to prove they can be better. So, I'm taking your offer to help. On the condition that there be no...tricks or voodoo strings attached."
Alastor rolls his eyes a bit, but decides to take a chance and holds his hand out.
"So, it's a deal then?"
As soon as he held his hand out, a green glow and shockwave appeared from his hand, and Crowley, thinking fast, snapped his fingers and the glowing stopped, catching Alastor by surprise, as Charlie spoke out.
"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 desire. Sound fair?"
Alastor does a bit of mock thinking for a bit, putting his fingers on his chin, before he made an answer for her.
"Hmm...Fair enough!"
Charlie sighed in relief, as she smiled tiredly.
"Cool beans."
Alastor walks a bit, as he senses Crowley and Vaggie looking at him, as he spoke out to them and goes to their positions.
"Smile, my dear and good sir! You're never full dressed without one!"
He attempts to touch them, but Crowley clenched his fist, and Alastor's hand froze in place, with a red glow surrounding his right hand, as Crowley spoke out.
"No touching."
Alastor raised his eyebrow, but he shrugged a bit, as he then looks to Charlie and spoke out to her.
"So where is your hotel staff?"
Charlie, a bit nervous, points to both Vaggie and Crowley.
"Uh, well-"
Crowley and Vaggie crossed their arms looking at Alastor, who then speaks out to this.
"Ohohoho, you're going to need more than that."
He then goes to Angel Dust and spoke out to him.
"And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?"
Angel Dust then decided to speak out to Alastor.
"I can suck on your dic-MMMPPHHH!!!"
Angel Dust's mouth was zipped shut again, and Alastor's then turned to look at Crowley, who did a zipping gesture to Angel Dust yet again.
"No. just no."
He opened his hand and lets Angel Dust speak again, as Alastor spoke out at this.
"Well, this just won't do! I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up."
Alastor then snapped the fingers of his left hand, as the old and worn down fireplace crackled to life, and a burst of flames erupted, as a new fireplace formed in the place of the old one. Inside of the fireplace, a black lump is shown, as Alastor goes to pick it up and holds the lump in his hand. The lump then reveals an eye of some sort, with a red sclera and yellow iris. Then, after a bit, she puffed up the soot and ashes off of her, revealing her to be a cyclops sort of demon with red hair, small blush markings on the corners of her mouth, and is wearing a 1950s burgundy neckerchief, a white blouse with three hot-pink dripping splotches, and a red-pink swing skirt which features a 50s-fashionable dark burgundy poodle with yellow dots. Her gloves and tights are the same color as the poodle print on her skirt. Alastor introduces the small demon in his hand.
"This little darling is Niffty!"
Alastor drops to the floor, and she gets up with no problem whatsoever, as she introduces to them.
"Hi, I'm Niffty! It's nice to meet you! It's been a while since I've made new friends! Why're you all women? Are there any men here?!"
She eyes on 3 of them, but Crowley is of her line of sight, as she picks up Charlie, which made Vaggie point her spear at Charlie, before Niffty puts her down, making Vaggie lower her spear, as Nifty spoke out.
"I'm sorry, that's rude. Oh, here's a man!"
Niffty took notice of Crowley, as she runs and climbs on top of him, which made his wings appear, and Niffty comments on them.
"Wow, very pretty wings! That's a tail?"
Niffty grabs onto the tail, and it made Crowley flinch at the strange sensation, as grabbed him from the collar and lifts her up, looking unamused at her as he spoke out.
"Really? Really?"
Crowley then puts down Niffty gently, as she then looks around and spoke out.
"Oooh, man! This place is filthy! It really needs a lady's touch! Which is weird because you're all ladies, no offense!"
She than grabs a spider and crushes it, as she then takes out a feather duster and began to go around and try to clean up the whole place.
"Oh, my gosh! This is awful! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!"
She then stand a cockroach with a needle.
"Nope!"
Everyone stared at her, as she is going around the room, and both Alastor and Crowley's head turned 180 degrees then 240 degrees, before Crowley sensed another presence, as he turned his head around to the opposite direction and sees that a table had appeared with a jackpot and card, and there present is a cat demon with wings and a top hat, sign heart symbols on his eyes, hands and ears, the nose also being heart shaped, as well as very long eyebrows.
"Hah! Read 'em and weep, boys! Full Ho-"
Then, demonic images and voices appeared around him, as it caught the cat demon by surprise, and he looked around a bit.
"-tel? What the fuck is this?"
The demon looked around, and he noticed Alastor and points his fingers at him.
"You!"
Alastor, continuously smiling, facing at the cat demon, spoke out to him.
"Ah, Husker, my good friend! Glad you could make it!"
The demon, Husker, or rather his real name being Husk, spine back to him.
"Don't you "Husker" me, you son of a bitch! I was about to win the whole damn pot!
He points to the jackpot that fades into static, and then to nothing, as Alastor spoke back to him, unconcerned about the jackpot he's gonna get.
"Good to see you too!"
Husk, having to see Alastor, slaps himself in the face, before pulling on his bottom eyelids.
"What the hell do you want with me this time...?"
Alastor then puts an arm around Husk and pulls him close.
"My friend, I am doing some charity work so I took it upon myself to volunteer your services! I hope that's okay!"
Husk, looking at Alastor like he is crazy, retorts back.
"Are you shittin' me?!"
Alastor does a thinking gesture mockingly, as he then spoke out.
"Hmm... No, I don't think so!"
Husk, hearing enough of this, pushes Alastor off of him, as he spoke back angrily.
"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, hearing this, snorts a little as if he is about to laugh at the tirade Husk is giving him.
"Maybe!"
Husk sneered, and spoke back to Alastor, unaware that a shadow is behind hm.
"I ain't doing no fucking charity job."
Then, Alastor teleports behind Husk through his shadow, as he spoke back to him and plays with his face for a bit to make Husk smile, and gesture to a bar that is inside of the room.
"Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment! With your charming smile and welcoming energy, this job was made for you!"
He walks to the bar and looks back to Husk.
"Don't worry my friend, can make this more welcoming! ...If you wish"
Alastor moved his left arm in a circular fashion, as he made a bottle of cheap booze appear. Husk goes to it and picks it up, as he spoke out.
What? You think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?!"
He looks at it, and after a while, spoke out.
"Well, you can!"
He then chugs down onto the booze, as Vaggie and Crowley protests to that and stood in front of the bar.
"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…man cave!"
Crowley looks at Vaggie and spoke out.
"I think man cave fits this best."
Then, all of a sudden, Angel Dust tackles the both of them and pins them down, as he shouted out at them.
"SHUT UP! SHUT! UP! We are keeping this!"
Crowley, not liking this one bit, raises a finger, Angel Dust began to glow red, as Crowley flicks his index finger, and Angel Dust is sent flying sideways and hits the wall that the bar is at. Crowley stood up and helps Vaggie up. Angel Dust, quickly recovering, goes next to Husk and tries to flirt with him.
"Hey~"
Husk, clearly not liking Angel Dust a bit, spoke out to him.
"Go fuck yourself."
Angel Dust holds Husk's face, as he responds back.
"Only if you watch me!"
However, Charlie appeared out of nowhere and tugged Husk away from Angel'a grip and is excited, her eyes turning red with stars in her eyes.
Oh, my gosh! Welcome to The Happy Hotel! You are going to love it here!
Charlie tries to go for a handshake, but Husk does not feel mutually the same, as Husk reaches for his booze and spoke back to her.
"I lost the ability to love years ago"
Husk continues to down his booze, as Charlie goes next to Alastor, who then spoke to her.
"So, whaddaya think?"
Charlie, smiling at this, spoke out to him.
"This is amazing!"
Vaggie, crossing her arms, not clearly feeling the same, yet not wanting to hurt her feelings, spoke out.
"It's... okay."
Crowley looks and spoke out to Alastor.
"Seems like we're gonna have a whole bunch of misfits to have in the Hotel. And also...need to change this a bit."
He then waved his right hand in front of the bar, as multiple drinks are present, both beverages that are alcohol and other normal drinks, such as Apple Cider, Milk, Etcetera. Crowley lowers his hand and spoke out.
"There we go. Much better."
Alastor then he reels all 3 of them to him, as he spoke out with his unchanging grin.
"Hahaha! This is going to be very entertaining!"
Alastor's reprise.
He then lets go of all 3 of them, as he summons a fireball in his hand and launches it into the air, and tries to shove Vaggie away, only for Crowley to teleport himself and Vaggie away from Alastor, as Alastor began to change his outfit to a red tuxedo and top hat. He then twirls his fingers and shorter Charlie's hair, before giving her a red hat, a black shirt, and a red dress, as he begins his song.
(You have a dream!
You wish to tell!)
He then goes to Vaggie and Crowley, who's holding her shoulders, as they flared at him.
(And it's just laughable
But, hey, kid, what the hell?)
He then picks up Charlie and tosses her into the air, and the moment that he did, the sincere behind her changed to neon colored lights featuring two apples and a skull. Alastor catches her, as they began to dance for a bit.
('Cause you're one-of-a-kind!
A charming demon belle!)
He then drags her to the stairs and the both of them slide down the stairs, before the both of them reached the ground.
(Now, let's give these burning fools a place to dwell!
Take it boys!)
All of a sudden, all of the other demons, except for maybe Husk, are suddenly dressed in fancy clothes. Angel Dust where's a pink tuxedo and a red tie, Niffty wears a black hat with a flower and a black dress and red skirt as well, and Vaggie is wearing a dress that is mostly black with red on it. Crowley is wearing a black tuxedo with a grey tie present. The moment that happened, demons made of shadows appeared and began to sing jazz music. Charlie is having a lot of fun, and both Vaggie and Crowley tried to speak to her, but Alastor grabs them both and pulls them, Angel Dust, and his associates together, Alastor pulls her in with him and the others as his shadow demons surround them.
"Boo!"
The shadows demons said, as Crowley made then disappear.
(Haha! Inside of every demon is a lost cause!
But we'll dress 'em up for now, with just a smile!)
(Shadow
(Demons: With a smile!)
Alastor puts a fedora on Angel Dust's head, who snaps his fingers at him, then he puts a hat and fur on Vaggie and slaps her butt. She throws the accessories to the floor, but Crowley catches them by having them float into the air, as he gives them back to her. Alastor's kicks a skull off of the floor, as he summons a shadow clone of himself.
(And we'll chlorinate this cesspool with some old redemption flair!
And show these simpletons some proper class and style!)
(Shadow Demons: Class and style!)
He then snaps away his shadow and began to dance with Charlie yet again after he pinched her cheeks..
(Oh! Here below the ground,
I'm sure your plan is sound!
They'll spend a little time,
down at this Hazbin Ho-)
Before Alastor can finish, all of a sudden, the hotel door explodes, ending the music and knocking Niffty away. Crowley was caught by surprise, but he snapped his fingers and everyone's clothes returned to normal, as all of them ran outside. When they ran out, they saw that a familiar ship is present. And the person came into view. It was none other then Sir Pentious, who sees Alastor.
"Hah! Well, well, well. Look who it is harboring the striped freak! We meet yet again, Alastor!"
Alastor, who seemingly is not interested with him or does not know him, spoke out.
"Do I know you?"
Sir Pentious felt his ego deflate, but he anger grew, as he then shouted out, as he goes back inside of his ship.
"Oh, yes you do! And this time, I have the element of-SURPRISE!!!"
All of a sudden, an energy cannon appeared below the ship, as Sir Pentious laughed hysterically at what he is doing.
"Ahaha! I'm so evil! Ahahahahahaha!!!"
Crowley, however, is not amused, as he stepped forward and raised his hands. All of a sudden, wind had gathered and formed a tornado around the ship, which began to knock the ship around a bit, as Sir Pentious tries to steady it, and lighting struck it a little bit. But Crowley was not done, as he clawed at his cheek, making demonic black blood coat his fingers of his right hand and slammed the ground, the blood began to spread on the ground, before tentacles made of blood rose up and grab onto the ship, as one of them ripped the the cannon off and sent it away into the city. But Alastor, not wanting to miss out on the fun, made a portal appear and tentacles that look organic in nature appear, and wrapped around the ship as well. Alastor's eyes turned into static for a bit, while Crowley's eyes leaked blood. He then held his other hand out, and made rockets, the same color as the axe and the other weapons he has made, in that they are black, but the red is at the tip instead. He fired the rockets at the ship, as Alastor clenched his fist and leaked blood. The ship glows red, and the rockets hits the ship. A massive explosion then occurred, as everyone looked in shock at what Crowley and Alastor had done. After a bit, Alastor breaks the tension.
"Well, I'm starved! Who wants some Jambalaya? 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..."
Everyone began to go back, with Crowley flying back with Charlie and Vaggie as he holds each of their hands, as a lighting bolt changed the "Happy Hotel" sign, to a sign that now says, "Hazbin Hotel" As Alastor speaks menacingly.
"...Stay tuned. Hahaha...!"
