Two months. Two months was all it took for Voe to get comfortable in Hell. Her lives started taking off, and she was gaining followers every single day.
"I like the Hotel, 'cuz people are really nice to me. Especially Charlie, she's mad nice. Yeah, I made some friends. I'm friends with Angel Dust now! Yes that Angel Dust, the celebrity! Also, Sinstagram where is my verification?! I believe I fit the requirements! Hmm? Am I just an influencer? I mean I guess so, what else could I even do?"
Maybe get a job you lazy bitch
"Maybe take your own advice you cunt. If you had a job you wouldn't be here bitching on my live. Besides," Voe laughs "I'm making more money reading you for filth, than you would at any 9 to 5" She gets a kicker out of that.
ever thought about getting sponsored?
"Yeah, I've thought about being sponsored, but like, brands would have to have to reach out to me, ya' know?"

"What's an overlord?"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
!
you should review velvettes clothes. shes the best
"Mmkay girlfriend. Oop gotta go guys. It's time for Charlie's mandatory bonding time for all residents. Hazbin Hotel everyone!"
"Hello everyone," Charlie looked a bit nervous introducing this time, "I'd like to introduce you all to a very special guest" Alastor waltzed in and sat adjacent to Charlie "My dad!"
"Greetings everyone!" Lucifer emerges from behind a large plant, and Alastor squints in annoyance. The King of Hell goes and stands next to his daughter. Voe was taken aback by the beauty of this man, all in fun-sized packaging. He was taller than her, but small is small.
"Like, I said, this is my dad. And he's going to be around more often to help us take care of the Hotel!"
"I would do anything, to make my little one's dream come true. So I'm joining the crew!" he laughs dryly with his arm around Charlie's shoulders, and she laughs awkwardly with him
Voe speaks up "Can I just say, that the things I heard about you are true? You truly are the most beautiful angel."
"Why thank you," Lucifer looks smug and takes notice of her. Voe takes notice of Charlie's apprehension under her father's arm and the lack of enthusiasm when introducing him. His over-the-top manner of behaving and his insistence upon entering his daughter's personal space were a dead giveaway to a shaky father-daughter relationship. On its way to healing, but not quite there yet.
"My dad has an idea of a way to better advertise the hotel, so take it away Dad" She claps for him, and quiet claps follow suit.
"Okay, so I know that my brilliant daughter already thought of this." He winks at Charlie "But I was thinking that we could do another commercial, but instead of going through 666 News, we go through the people that control the media! The Vees!" people are now whispering to one another at the mention of the Vees "And besides, who would say no to me?" he puffs out his chest
There they were being mentioned again. The Vees.
Voe raises her hand to gain the attention of the crowd "Who are the Vees?" many demons are shocked at her lack of knowledge of the subject, but it was Angel Dust who spoke up.
"Assholes," was all that he gave, staring daggers into his phone.
"Who here isn't?" She responded
"The Vees are nothing but talentless, tasteless, and classless crybabies who dare to call themselves entertainers. They are no better than dirt at the bottom of my very well-made dress shoes. Once again, your ideas have fallen flat, Your Majesty." Alastor spoke, shooting a glare through his tight grin. Voe looked back and forth between the men, instantly picking up on their tension, and formulated a plan off the top of her head.
"Thank you for the explanation. However, I do agree that going to the headliners of the media in Hell would be the best way to get our message seen. To expand Charlie's vision. Also, I honestly appreciate the ability of a primordial angel to be able to keep up with modern times"
"And compromise ourselves? Out of the question. I suggest we do things the old-fashioned way, like how we've been doing them. Besides, as the King himself said, we've done the idea of a commercial before, and look how it turned out."
"Well, it's clear that Charlie is unhappy with the results of the 'old-fashioned way', seeing as how she's currently in the market for ideas at this very moment, so what is necessary is to change something. Do something different. And yes while you may have done a commercial before, you've never done it like this. This is worth a shot. And we do not have to mingle with these demons personally, only professionally." She gestures toward Lucifer "Plus, we have the literal King and Princess of Hell with us. What could go wrong?"
Charlie steps in "Hey guys, I don't want this to become an argument."
"I don't see why this needs to be an argument at all. Your father has the superior idea, and that's the one that we should do." Voe is light and airy, using her 'people pleaser' voice
"Well, I don't think it would be fair for him to just show up and start telling us what to do when he hasn't been here this whole time. Right Char-" Alastor's tone is stern
"And that's why we should do his idea. I mean, look at him, Charlie" she gestures toward the King of Hell "He's so sorry for not being there for you, and he's trying to make it up. This is how he can make it up, this is how you can show that you forgive him. You do forgive him, don't you Charlie?"
"Well yeah! I-"
"He knows nothing about the hotel and how we run things here, do you trust him to get involved without guidance?" Alastor's voice becomes more forceful
"He will have your impeccable guidance, Charlie. He wants to work with you and be involved with your life. You want your father involved in your life…right Charlie?"
"Of course! I-"
"So it's settled! We're going with Your Majesty's idea then!" Voe swivels her body to face Charlie. She lowers her pitch "Right, Charlie?"
Charlie's eyes dart around "Y-yesI Yes! We'll go with my dad's idea!"
"Yes! You won't regret this sweetie!" Lucifer puts his arm around Charlie's shoulders. He looks back at Voe, lowering his volume "Thanks for the help…"
"Voe. And no problem, Your Majesty."
"Oh, you don't need that 'Your Majesty' talk, you may call me Lucifer."
She smiles warmly "Alright, Lucifer." she speaks coyly. The King looks her up and down, giving her a wink. She bats her eyelashes at him as he walks off with his daughter, chatting her ear off. Voe glances up to catch Alastor's eye, smirking before turning back around. The other residents are sitting around confused, and staring at each other, wondering if the meeting was over. Alastor's eye is twitching ever so slightly. Voe returns to her spot to retrieve her phone, Angel Dust grabs her wrist and pulls her down.
"What the fuck just happened?"
The doe feigns innocence "What the hell did you just do?"
"What? I didn't do anything?"
"Did you just like, cast a spell over Charlie's mind or something? That was, that was incredible!"
She seems flattered "Oh no, I used no magic. I just have a way with words is all." She sits back down in her spot next to him
"Just be careful toots, I don't think you'd wanna piss off a serial killer." he looks back down at his phone
Her ear prick up "Hmm?"
"You wouldn't want to piss off a serial killer." He raises his brow at her "Or would you?"
"I don't know Angel! I've never met a serial killer!"
"Yeah, ya have,"
She raises her eyebrow at him "I beg your pardon?"
"Al's a serial killer" Angel uses two of his arms to gesture towards the deer demon, who stood in his usual get-up of his coat and dress pants, shoes with small heels, and a bow tie, back perfectly straight, occasionally fixing his hair and adjusting his monocle. A fucking monocle.
Voe's mouth was agape looking between the deer and the spider. "That Al? Like Alastor?"
"Uh yeah." Angel rolled his eyes
"But he's so…nerdy."
Angel smirks "I thought you said he was cute."
Her head whips back around "Those concepts aren't mutually exclusive."
She marches over to the radio demon with an heir of confidence around her.
"Alastor," she calls him simply, his head does not move, but his eyes do. He does not respond verbally, but his eyes tell her that she has his attention. "Angel just told me that you are a serial killer?"
He has no physical reaction to this statement, only a small "Hmmm," though, not as a question
"Is this accurate ?"
His smile grew extra wide, his eyes turning into radio dials as he leans forward "What do you think?"
Voe's face is a bit flushed, but she doesn't recoil or retreat. "I guess that means yes." There's a warmth in her chest, looking at his radio-dial eyes. Like hot shivers down her back. "I didn't picture you as a serial killer," she pretends like her body isn't reacting
"Well, looks can be deceiving, my dear."
She sticks her hip out and smirks "It's just difficult to imagine you slinging around dead bodies. Wouldn't you need to be strong to do that?"
Alastor's eyes widen and his nose flares, he inhales deeply.
"Sounds like 'big boi' activities," she continued with a smug grin on her face
"I can assure you, that I am quite strong enough."
"I'd love to see it." She turns her chin up to see him better
"Then stay tuned."
She cocks her head at him before returning to Angel Dust, whispering Lucifer knows what. Alastor's eyes follow her to her destination. This demoness, this..doe craved his attention. Why else would she be talking about him on her little picture box, outwardly defying him, or questioning his strength and ability to kill? She must want his eyes to be on her, but Alastor wasn't going to give her that satisfaction. Attention is all they crave, stop giving them attention and these little fires will burn out on their own.
Although he had initially thought it would be easy, he found it to be quite challenging. There was something about her hair that always caught his eye. It was a brighter shade of red than his own and each strand had a perfect curl, as if it had been individually wrapped around a pencil. Her hair was striking, and he found it difficult not to stare. He only realized that he had been staring when she looked up and caught his eye again. She smirked, displaying her smugness and overconfidence once more. Alastor found it revolting, and he resisted the urge to sneer. He simply squinted before leaving the place, certain that no mere doe would outwit him.
"So…what did you guys think of my dad? I love that he's trying to get involved with something so important to me." Her eyes glisten "How do you guys think he's doing?"
Voe is sitting on the couch next to Angel once more, both scrolling on their phones "Well, I know what I think. I think that man is fine." She bites her lip
"Ain't you gay?" Angel looks up from his phone, raising his eyebrow at her.
"Like I'm not gay gay. Like, I'm queer. Unfortunately, I'm still attracted to men. And by the way Charlie," she turns to the blonde demoness "I am 100% going to rizz up your dad,"
"Rizz?" she looks towards Vaggie
"Yeah, I don't know." she shrugs
"It's basically like flirting. Just like getting someone to like you," Voe rolls her wrist
Charlie looks around, confused "Uh, why?"
"Because he's hot! I love me a short king!" She spreads her arms in time with her words.
A loud 'ahem' is heard on the other side of the room. The group directs their attention toward the noise. Alastor is sitting and reading a book, so quietly that Voe didn't even know he was there.
"If you don't mind, I'm trying to read," he called out over the group conversation.
"But what if I do?" she responded.
"Do what?"
"Mind,"
Alastor sat in silence, his grin widening as he squinted at her.
"You're a defiant little girl," he remarked.
"I'm a woman," she responded in a low voice, barely audible.
"That you are," he said as he stood up, microphone in hand, and walked away, shrouding himself in shadow.
Her eyes remain fixed on the spot the buck was previously standing in as if viewing the essence he left behind.
"Woaho! What the fuck was that?"
"I don't know, him butting into our conversation?"
"Bullshit Voe, I know sexual tension when I see it! Something's going on there. At least with you!" He points to Voe, poking her in the nose
"What?" she laughs
"You did not have to say anything to that man." Angel wiggles his eyebrows
She shrugs "What's your point?"
"You did that cuz you wanted attention. You just wanted him to talk to you!"
"Maybe I wanted to bother him, whatever!" She rolled her eyes
"Why?" he leans into her face
"Because it's funny!"
"Yeah I know Alastor is annoying as fuck, but why mess with him?" Vaggie sits down in a chair
"Like I said, because I think it's funny," she smirks, full of intent
Alastor struts his merry way down the hall, humming all the while. His eyes widen when he sees Princess Charlie walking towards him down the hall.
"Charlie my dear, just the Princess I was looking for."
"Oh, hi Alastor!" She looks up at him "What's up?"
"I just came from a meeting with the other Overlords and they requested that I ask you what you intend to do with so many of the souls that they own?"
"Well you know Alastor, I'm trying to help them be redeemed."
"Yes, but beyond that is what they are wondering."
Charlie looks quite confused "I don't understand."
Voe turns the corner, seeing the Overlord and the Princess having a discussion. She was unaware of the topic but viewed the situation as a chance for some of her own entertainment.
"Blah blah, I'm Alastor I think I'm better than everyone else," she says from behind the corner
Alastor's ears twitch at the sound. He turns to look in Voe's direction, not seeing her behind the wall. Charlie looks past him, unaware of what he'd heard. "Hmm," he said, turning back to Charlie.
"Hmm," Voe mocks his cadence and tone from behind the wall "Like, what even is that?" She walks up the both of them casually, her footsteps light on the carpet
"Oh, hi Voe!" Charlie waves
"Hi," she waves and leans on the wall.
Alastor raises an eyebrow "We are in the middle of a conversation."
"I am simply addressing the Princess, is that a crime?"
"Well you've done you're addressing, you may leave."
Voe clicks her tongue "The Wifi is GREAT here," she looks back down at her phone while Alastor sighs in frustration. Voe hides her smirk and sits on the floor.
He turns back to Charlie "All they are requesting is a simple meeting so they can understand your intentions. They're quite worried about losing so many souls."
"So many souls," She mimics his accent once more and he sharply turns to her.
"Excuse me, last time I checked you were a doe, not a parrot. Or perhaps you are simply a child? A fawn maybe?"
Voe looks up, feigning confusion "Are you talking to me?"
Alastor's smile turns tense "Yes, I am,"
"What are you talking about?"
He squints at her, "I am not going to stand here and play your childish games." He turns to Charlie once more "Charlie, the meeting is next week, promptly at 6 am"
"6 am?"
"It is the only time they are all free."
"Because fossils have to take their naps during the day." Voe copied his accent once more, mumbling under her breath and then laughing at her own joke.
Alastor glares at her one more time before dissipating into shadows.
"Shit! 6 am is fucking early!" Charlie spoke once more heading down the hall.
"Guys! My dad is off making negotiations for the commercial"
"Hmm, absent as always," Alastor speaks under his breath
"And…" Charlie moves on "So I decided that it would be an amazing plan to get our actual residents involved in spreading the word. This is your home too!"
"Well my dear, if you let me make use of my talents, I certainly could get the word out on my radio show!"
"Of course Alastor! That's a great idea. Anyone else?"
Alastor's smile tenses at the suggestion that his radio show is not enough. Voe raises her hand slowly and dramatically.
"Uh, Voe! What a lovely surprise!" Charlie beams
"We could use Sinstagram." She offers
"How exactly?"
The doe shrugs "We could like," she puts her head back a little, thinking "throw a party and I could livestream it on my account."
Angel snorts "What good would that do?"
She cuts her eye at him "I have 10 million followers,"
Angel spits out his drink "What? That's more than me and I'm a certified celebrity!"
"Yeah, I'm waiting for my check mark, but anyway apparently there are demons who like to watch me do things and listen to what I say. We should take advantage of that.
"That would be a great idea!" Charlie was ecstatic
"But why a party?" Vaggie questioned
"Because you want them to want to come here right? So we should show them that we do cool and fun things. Not just boring sharing circles. Not that these are boring Charlie." She feigns caring about her remarks
"I assure you that I am just fine at getting the word out on the radio."
"The rest of Hell has progressed past that. Demons are engaging with modern technology like Vphones and laptops. To force them to reverse time in terms of media is unhelpful and having them put forth more effort than I know they would be willing to. No one would be receiving said message. The only demon I know that likes getting forced is Niffty." She points toward the little demoness who is standing by her legs "And even though I enjoy the little scamp, no one else is like her. We need to take advantage of what the rest of Hell is already doing, not force them to do something else. Listen, I just got down here, so I know what they're like up there. Social media rules up there so why wouldn't it down here?"
"Okay, all in favor of Alastor's idea, raise your hand."
"And be honest, he's not going to hurt you," Voe interjected
"I might," Alastor added
Voe purses her lips. A few demons raise their hands.
"And now all in favor of Voe's idea?"
The vast majority of the residents raise their hands, Voe tilts her head in smug joy. Alastor squints in annoyance.
"Look, why don't we just do both, cuz we don't want Radiohead to get pissy about it. You do what's natural to you and I'll do what's natural for me."
"Voe! That is an amazing idea! A compromise! Looks like you are taking steps to get redeemed!" Charlie raved
Voe could only blink at the praise given by the princess. She hadn't been expecting it or planning for it. Her words had been genuine, the validation was earned. Her face flushed with pink and she pulled at one of her ears.
"Okay, you guys were asking me to try this hot new dress by…" she squints at the tag "Velvette. Oooh, that's a nice way to spell that. Now I'm taking it out of the bag and this is exquisite! Just by looking at it, I can tell this was high quality. Wait, let me get a hanger." She goes to retrieve a hanger from her closet and places the dress on it. She holds the full dress out in front of the camera. "This is amazing, it's giving princess vibes. And y'all know I had to get it in pink. Yeah, like a casual princess. I could see this working in a casual setting and a business casual setting." Voe feels the material, her mouth is agape in awe. "Guys, it's so soft! Oh my gosh, I'm looking forward to the rest of these now!" She reaches back into the bag and pulls out a second dress, this one also pink, short, and form-fitting. "Guys this one is a sleek party dress! Oh, I could see myself wearing it to a club or you know, a party!" She pulls at the dress fabric "Okay, this tough, I can't even rip it on purpose! So this will last you a long time!" She hangs up the other dress and pulls out one more, also pink with subtle sparkles dusted all around it. "Okay, no guys because what? This is beautiful! Okay, absolutely not I have to try this on!"
She covers the camera and within minutes has the new dress on. "This is what? This is- oh my gosh! This is amazing. Look at how the light catches these sparkles! I love the fit, it's firm in my boobs, but loose everywhere else!. And the sparkles intentionally catch light so it looks like there's a spotlight on you no matter where you go! This is amazing! I- I cannot believe this. I see no flaws. These clothes are perfect. Hats off to you Miss Velvette! You are quite the designer!" She sits back in her chair and lifts a package, unwrapping it to find a very futuristic water bottle "And one of you guys sent me this.." she reads the label "VoxTek water bottle to review. So now I'm going to see what would be the point of techni- technologically-" She looks off to the side, thinking "What the fuck would you even call that? Teching? Yeah, Teching a water bottle." She looks around the bottle, it's covered in buttons and has a screen on the side. She presses one and it does nothing. She presses another and the screen lights up, displaying the VoxTek logo.
"Hmm," she remarks as the screen turns to the show 'I Fucked Your Sister, So what?" She turns the bottle back around to the buttons and begins pressing them, seeing that they control the switching of the channels. "Ooooh," she displays somewhat of an interest in the bottle, pressing another button that controls volume, then another that controls brightness. "Okay, it's all fancy with the tech, but can it actually hold water?"
The video cuts to her with a VoxTek bottle filled with water, trying not to let a drop drip out onto the screen. She screws on the top and shakes the bottle around. It doesn't come off and none of the water leaks.
"Okay guys, should I drink from it? I'm gonna drink from it." It has a built-in straw that pops up and almost pokes her eye out.
"Oh shit!" and she drinks from the bottle, noticing a little nob that says 'flavor', she switches it and the water begins to taste like blue raspberry, "Holy shit! I might start drinking water more often!" She takes another sip "You can change the flavor, holy fuck!" She drinks more. "This is fuckin' cool!" She drinks again "Okay, I'm totally gonna use this, because I think it's awesome. However, I'm going to have to give it an 8/10 because tech being so close to water is just a disaster waiting to happen." She gestures towards the dresses "But these dresses are 10s."
Once Voe stops recording and she's begun uploading the video, her ears twitch at at sound outside of her room. Her nose picked up on a certain aroma, ever so pleasant to her nostrils and so thick that she could taste it. She followed it to the door, opened it, and sniffed down the hallway until she saw the familiar flare of a striped red coat. This is what the scent led to. It was him that smelled so good.
"Oh, it's you." She spoke flatly, crossing her arms and sticking out her hip. "I knew I smelled something."
Alastor turns around to face the voice he hears, his eyes immediately squint and his grin gets wider and more devilish. "You are quite the contrarian, little doe." he steps up to her, very much inside her personal space. She takes a step back.
"And you like that don't you?" Alastor opens his mouth to speak before registering what she says and then closes it. She chuckles and shoots him a side-eye. "You don't scare me."
"I'm not trying to scare you," he said with a wide grin on his face. "I'm letting you know your place"
"But you're not," she replied unimpressed.
"I'm not trying to-," he stumbled over his words, his eyes darting back and forth, stretching what constitutes a smile.
"Getting choked up on your words?" she asked, crossing her arms.
"I'm simply thinking about what to say first."
"So you're getting choked up on your words?" she teased. "This is the Radio Demon? I figured a radio host wouldn't have this much trouble talking," she added with a smirk.
"I don't like you," he said, his eyes narrowing as his radio filter vanished.
"You don't?" she widens her eyes, with feigned surprise.
He had no response, so instead snatched her glasses and tossed them, before storming down the hall. Voe's mouth was agape at just the amount of pettiness that this grown man was willing to stoop to. It was actually kind of funny seeing how frazzled and annoyed she could make this man. Despite his dangerous reputation, she didn't feel in danger, mostly just a little warm in the chest, she thought as she went to retrieve her glasses. Maybe it was just a deer thing.
Storming was a perfect way to remove yourself from a situation and make it known that you still hold all the power. She could not know that she was getting to him, especially in such a short time. What would he usually do to anything that grated his nerves this much? Simply remove it from the equation. If that requires a little carnage or a lot of bloodshed, then so be it. But he felt he could not do that with this demon for some reason. Today it was not only her spiral curls that caught his attention, but also her spots and how they seemed randomly and yet quite purposefully placed on her skin. Or perhaps her black deer nose stood out the most. Maybe the odd but pleasing look of her differently colored lips? He wasn't sure what it was but under every irritating encounter, Alastor felt pleased? To see her face? To hear her speak? It was confusing for sure, so the feeling was best to be avoided.
Voe returned to her room, immediately reaching for her phone where she was met with a barrage of notifications on her Sinstagram that never disappointed.
Thats the newest model!
Whoever got you that, give me their info i need a sugar daddy
told you velvette was the best
The Vees rule!
you have as much style as Velvette
BOOOO 10/10 ON THE VOXTEC BOTTLE
does she think we really care about this shit?
She smiled reading them, pleased at her impact. Negative or positive, she was on the minds of these people, and that's where she liked to be. There was one comment however that caught her attention over all the others. One with a checkmark next to the username.
Check your DMs love
The username beside it reads: Velvette
Intrigued by the comment, she moved over to her DMs, skipping all the ones from others who watched her content and liked to engage with her until she found a thread under the same username.
Hey love, I've seen your videos and you've really got an eye for what's what. I'm sure you've heard of the Vees and that we do a hiring event every once in a while and I think that you could actually offer something of value to my team. Respond to let me know that you're interested.
Voe sat and pondered this message, it was from a verified account, and the Vees were the heads of all things media, according to the King of Hell himself. Another message in the thread popping up snatched her away from her thoughts.
ps love the name!
If the Vees were in charge of all the media, then all of Hell could know her name in no time flat. Even if she didn't choose to work with them she would still be a certified influencer, so what would be the harm of checking the place and the people out? There was literally no downside.
hi. thanks for reaching out to me. i would def be interested in the event.
ps love your dresses!
Instantly, Voe was gifted with a response.
Be at V tower tomorrow at 9 AM sharp -xxx
