3rd Person POV
*Zzzzzz!*
Completely oblivious to the fighting and explosions going on in Pentagram City far outside the Hotel, Ayden was fast asleep on her bed in her demon cat form with her mouth open to let her loud snores echo in her small room.
She was also completely unaware of the piece of paper taped to her forehead which is why she nearly choked when she took a deep breath through her nose and the paper stuck on over it,
"Ffffff-grck!"
*CHOO!*
Bolting upright, Ayden went cross-eyed to see the note on bright pink paper with dark pink hearts on the corners, telltale it was from Angel Dust, and frowned as she muttered tiredly,
"Very funny Ang... "
She unstuck it from her forehead to read it,
*Took a last-minute job in town last night. Cover for me. Thanks -xxx Angie*
"He be'er give me a cut fer this... " Ayden let the note float to the floor as she flopped back onto her bed just before-
*TCH!* *TCH!* *TCH!*
"MMMHMMMM!"
Loud, harsh knocks on her door made her impatiently moan loudly with her mouth closed before she kicked off her neon pink paint-splatter patterned black blanket to trudge over to the door and open it to reveal a furious Vaggie as she questioned without hesitation,
"Where is he?"
"Who?" Ayden played dumb as she yawned and Vaggie spoke through gritted teeth,
"Angel... "
"He's not in 'is room... ?"
"No, otherwise I wouldn't be asking you."
"Ya check the roof?" Ayden questioned, leaning tiredly against her doorway with her arms crossed.
"Why would he be on the roof?!"
"Mhm?" Ayden shrugged tiredly before lying, "Said somethin' once about 'the hotness in the dange' o' fallin' while wristin and hangin' by a thread.''"
"Why am I not surprised...?" Vaggie deadpanned, believing the lie and already knowing what Ayden meant by that with a hand to her forehead before Charlie was heard yelling up to them,
"Vaggie! It's almost time to go!"
Vaggie sighed harshly while pinching the bridge of her nose before telling Ayden,
"Just tell him to stop doing that."
"Ya really think he'll listen ta me?" Ayden questioned somewhat defensively to keep the charade up.
"Just try? Please?"
"'Ight... " She shrugged nonchalantly before asking, "What's the'e ta eat?"
"Had you woken up for breakfast, we had oatmeal." Vaggie spoke pointedly, pointing out how long she'd slept in, made more evident by how Ayden snarked before questioning,
"Bleh... wait what time is'it?"
"Vaggie! Time to go!" Charlie called up so Vaggie yelled back,
"Be right down!"
Turning back to Ayden one last time to tell her,
"We're heading to the interview now, stay out of trouble, and don't forget to practice."
The last part referring to how Ayden had been working on training with her fire powers so she could eventually use them to perform.
"Cool bye." Ayden walked away from her to use her bathroom and Vaggie was seen making a "seriously?!" expression before going back downstairs to leave with Charlie for the interview.
A little while later, Ayden emerged from the bathroom, out of her pjs and into her regular clothes, with her hair brushed and pulled into a loose ponytail as she headed downstairs to see if there was anything to eat, finding some of the last of the bread that she spread some hellberry jam over before making her way to the living room to lay on the couch with her legs dangling over the armrest after switching the antique TV on to reveal the logo for the 666 News Channel.
*Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy.* The blonde lady Sinner in a pinkish red suit introduced herself while her cohort, a fellow Sinner with a gas mask for a face and wearing a gray suit, reported,
*And I'm Tom Trench! Chaos out at Pentagram City today as a turf war is raging on the west side!*
An image of Sir Pentious trying to be hip was shown on the screen, followed by a drawing of Cherri flipping the bird is shown as Tom continued to report,
*Between notable kingpin, Sir Pentious, and self-proclaimed spunky powerhouse, Cherri Bomb!*
"And she di'n't invite me?! BOO!" Ayden flipped off Cherri's image before Katie started reporting,
*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 clip of Cherri and Sir Pentious's clash was shown with Cherri taking one of Pentious's Egg Boiz and breaking him apart to catch a bomb and throw it back to Pentious while Tom noted,
*Those two seem to be really going at it, huh?*
*Looks like they're fighting tooth and nail for that hot spot!* Katie pulled a tooth and nail from her mug before swallowing them as Tom commented suggestively wiggling his eyebrows as he watched the clip of Cherri fighting,
*And I'd sure like to nail her hot spot! Hoohoo!*
"Neve' gonna happen... " Ayden deadpanned as she ate the last of her sandwich before Katie spoke,
*Haha, you are a limp-dick jackass, Tom! Or should I say no dick?*
Purposefully dropping her scalding hot coffee onto his crotch making him curl over in pain as he started whimpering,
*Ugh... not again!*
Just as a picture of Charlie beaming at the camera was seen as Katie announced,
*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 crushed her mug in her grip before turning to yell at Tom,
*Suck it up, you little bi-!*
Before the newscast cut off and went on a commercial break.
"How much do I wanna bet she's gonna sing...?" Ayden asked herself as she got up while brushing the crumbs off her paws before she caught sight of two sticks that each had two tipped ends for fire maintenance by the concierge desk outside the living room.
"Guess I'll practice…" Ayden went to grab the sticks and stayed out in the foyer, since the water bucket was closer there than the living room, but still kept an ear and partial eye on the TV as the program came back on with Katie greeting while snapping her broken neck back into place,
*Welcome back! So, Charlotte!*
*It's... Charlie.* Charlie corrected but Katie didn't give a shit as she mildly threatened through a clenched smile,
*Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about!*
"Oh cut the fake ass smiley shite Demon Karen…" Ayden snarked as she took one stick in her paws, lighting the ends on fire, before she started practicing twirling it between her digits as she kept an ear fixed on the TV for Charlie,
*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.*
"Oh yeah that was todaaay? O' was it yeste'day…?" Ayden put a digit to her chin in faux thinking while twirling the stick in her other paw around in the air before Charlie continued speaking,
*We lost so many souls, and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. No one is even given a chance!*
*TCH!*
Charlie banging a fist on the desk nearly snapped Ayden out of her concentrated state as she fumbled with the fire stick, barely managing to catch it with her tail before she sent a mild glare to the TV as Charlie kept going while walking around the studio,
*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? Well, I think yes! So, that's what this project aims to achieve!*
Charlie walked back to the main desk to announce,
*Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind! A hotel that rehabilitates sinners!*
The silence from the audience made Ayden raise a brow before she smelled something burning and jolted when she realized she let one of the burning stick ends hover too close to the carpet and quickly stomped out the starting fire as Charlie was heard stuttering in the background, slowly losing confidence with each sentence,
*Y'know? 'Cause hotels are for people passin' through... temporarily... I think it'll serve a purpose... a place to work toward redemption... yaaaay... !*
"Doin' great Cha'lie…" Ayden noted as she grimaced at the large scorch mark on the carpet before spotting a potted plant nearby and deciding to drag it over to hide the scorch mark.
*Look, every single one of you has something good, deep down inside. I know you do…! Maybe I'm not getting through to you.*
Ayden's ears perked up in surprise at the sneakiness in Charlie's voice before she facepalmed,
"Oh, crikey…"
Just as Charlie snapped her fingers to make the studio go dark before a spotlight shone on her and Razzle and Dazzle, her flying goat bodyguards, as she posed on a piano that had magically appeared.
"Well.. ya gotta admi'e he' readiness for pizzazz… I guess?" Ayden mildly shrugged as she went to sit back on the armrest of the couch as Charlie started to sing,
I have a dream, I'm here to tell!
About a wonderful fantastic new hotel!
She took out a drawing of The Happy Hotel,
Yes, it's one-of-a-kind! Right here in Hell, catering to a specific clientele
She booped Dazzle's nose before he and Razzle harmonized in the background,
~Oooh, ooh, ooooooh~
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!
After avoiding the swings of two Sinners with weapons, she hands the second masked demon a sparkling cupcake while patting his head.
We can turn them 'round!
They'll be Heaven-bound!
With just a little time, down at The Happy Hotel!
So, all you junkies *takes out syringe from a doll demon's head*, freaks *takes a pic with a Siamese twin demon in its cage*, and weirdos *fends off a several-eyed blob demon*. Creepers *stares at a snail demon out the window*, fuck-ups *boops a couch demon on the nose*, crooks, and zeroes *returns the stolen money to charity*, and down-fallen superheroes *throws her hands behind the necks of two supervillain demons*, help is here!

We'll make you well *Dazzle injects a happiness serum into the patient*, you'll feel so swell! Right here in Hell *briefly turns to her full demonic form*, at the Happy Hotel!
Razzle aggressively plays the piano before Charlie continues singing,
*slides over to Killjoy's right* There'll be no more fire, *slides over to Trench's left* and no more screams. Just puppy dog kisses *holds a dog close to her face*, and cotton candy dreams *holds out a stick of cotton candy*, and puffy-wuffy clouds *cuddles both the dog and cotton candy*, you're gonna be like 'Wow!' *camera pans out showing the clouds forming the word 'Wow!'* Once you check in with meee *shows a check-in chart*!

Life will be sweet *turns to her demonic form* at The Happy Hoteeel *twirls happily in flames as she jumps up, revealing a land made of candies and sweets behind her*! Yeah!
Charlie finishes her song in a pose while panting subtly leaving it dead silent around before Ayden hears a demon off-screen say,
*Wow…! That was shit!*
Making everyone in the audience including Katie and Tom start to laugh at Charlie, who curls up on the desk looking crushed and devastated.
"Oh like any o' those dickwads coulda done bette'..." Ayden scrunches her face up in disgust at everyone booing Charlie before Katie shouted at her,
*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?!*
*Well, we have a patron already, who believes in our cause and he's shown incredible progress!*
*Oh? And who might that be?* Katie asked while feigning shock but Charlie returned it with a smug look as she retorted,
*Oh, just someone named... Angel Dust!*
*The porn star?* Tom questioned making Katie look at him menacingly with her nails dragging lines across the desk as she hissed,
*You fucking would, Tom!*
"Cou'se he would…" Ayden noted with an eye roll, not at all surprised, as Katie turned back to Charlie to mock,
*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.*
"Ugh!" Ayden grimaced when Katie made the motion of doing a handjob before adding, "I mean true enough but ugh!"
*Oh, I beg to differ! He's been behaved, clean, and out of trouble for two weeks now.* Charlie argued while counting each thing off with her fingers before someone off-screen announced,
*Breaking News!*
Making Ayden perk her ears up in interest while Katie shoved Charlie off the desk to declare,
*We are receiving word that a new player has entered the ongoing turf war! Let's go to the live feed.*
The live feed showed Angel stepping on an Egg Boi and throwing a grenade over at Sir Pentious with audible laughter in the background.
"WHA-!" Ayden's face dropped into an "are you fucking kidding me?!" expression.
*Oh... shit.* Charlie spoke in a defeated tone while Angel was heard in the background yelling,
*I'm a bad person!*
*'Oh, shit' indeed! It looks like the one who just joined the battle is none other than *HAH!* porn actor, Angel Dust!*
Faking a shocked gasp as the thumbnail image of one of his videos was pulled up, Katie turned to Charlie to taunt,
*What a juicy coincidence! You must feel really stupid, right now.*
The two news anchors laughed before announcing in unison as they did Jazz hands,
*~Ratiiiiiings!~*
Charlie panicked as the footage of Angel fighting was still going and attempted to block it with her body but it was still visible to the viewers even as she urged,
*Don't look at this!*
*Well, it sure looks like your little project is dead on arrival. Tell us, how does it feel to be such a total failure?*
Katie and everyone else in the studio burst into taunting laughter while Charlie struggled to think of a comeback so she just stuttered out,
*Yeah, well... How does it feel that I got your pen, huh?!* She grabbed Katie's red pen before boldly stating, *…Bitch!*
Almost instantly everyone stopped laughing while Katie gave her a death glare making Charlie laugh nervously while dropping the pen back on the desk,
*Ehehe... Oops.*
Even Tom knew to get the fuck out while he still could as Katie's demonic form started to show when she loomed over Charlie, poised to attack.
"What the fuck?!" Ayden bolted upright as the fight with Katie and Charlie started but that wasn't what she was focusing on as she exclaimed in disbelief, "They'e both fightin' without me?! Fuck that racket!"
Running upstairs she burst into her room to throw one of her vanity drawers open to retrieve her choker necklace, put it on while picturing the battlefield she saw on the TV, before kneeling down to draw a pentagram on the floor of her room, leaving a fiery line of light in her digit's path, as she circled the pentagram and made an opening motion with her paw to open a portal right above the battle before jumping down through it.
Meanwhile, just before, with Cherri Bomb and Angel Dust, they were seen fighting more of Pentious's Egg Boiz as she was telling Angel,
"Heyyy, thanks for the backup, Angie!"
"Hahaha! You kiddin'? This is the best action I've seen in ages!" Angel told her as he threw another bomb onto the field before putting his hands behind his head nonchalantly.
"Heads up fucke's!" They both looked up in the direction of the source of the voice before they saw Ayden dropping out of the sky onto the battlefield and landing on all fours on top of an Egg Boi as a hellcat before shifting to demon cat form to crush it under her as she whooped, "WOOO!"
"Ruby?!"
"Ayden!"
Angel and Cherri both yelled in unison, more surprise on Angel's part and excitement on Cherri's.
"Didja really think I was gonna miss out on a smackdown like this? HA!" Ayden spun-kicked an Egg Boi away before finishing as she ducked down behind the ridge next to Angel and Cherri, "Not in yer eve'lastin' afte'life!"
"Good ta see ya ya ~lil' shithead!~" Cherri wrapped an arm around Ayden's neck to baby talk while harshly noogie her before she let her go to grab a cherry bomb and ask the both of them,
"Speakin' of, where've you both been, anyway? I thought you up and died or some shit."
"Oh, I wish! We've been staying at this crappy hotel on the other side of town." Angel griped as he grabbed a bomb, holding it out to Ayden to light with her powers, before handing it to Cherri, "Some broads are lettin' us stay rent-free if Fuzzball uses her 'flare' ta draw people in and if I play nice."
The three of them covered their ears for the explosion going off behind them before grinning madly at each other as they jumped back onto the field so Cherri could throw more explosives at the incoming Egg Boiz, Angel could mow them down with his Tommy gun, and Ayden could scratch and slash at them with her claws, shifting between forms to dodge and make attacks.
"Y'know, no fights, no pranks, no 'problematic language'... Her words, not mine." Angel continued to whine as he stepped on a broken stone to launch an Egg Boi into the air to shoot at him from below.
"Basic'lly nothin' fuuun!" Ayden groaned as she bashed two Egg Boiz together right above her, raining their "blood" over her as she grinned insanely at it.
"What're you complainin' about?! I'm the one who's been clean for two weeks!" Angel retorted to Ayden making her stick her tongue out at him while Cherri noted in disbelief,
"Ho-ly shit!"
"Well, sorta clean. Just clean as you can get from a shitload of Bolivian marching powder!" Angel smirked at Cherri as he bashed another Egg Boi before he was abruptly grabbed by a chain and thrown through the air down the ground by Sir Pentious.
"~Ohhhhh~ ~Harder, Daddy!~" Angel moaned suggestively while raising a brow at Sir Pentious but he took it literally as he gasped while looking down at him with watery eyes,
"Son?!"
Angel's face quickly switched from flirty to incredulous disbelief before Cherri kicked Sir Pentious aside while Ayden freed Angel with a quick slash to the chains as easily as cutting paper apart.
"Hrrrr! You whores have no classss! In war, the side remembered is the side with the most ssstyle!" Sir Pentious argued as he fixed his tie.
"Or the side that ain't dead!" Cherri countered as she broke an Egg Boi apart.
"Speakin' a style, is your hat like, alive or somethin'?" Angel questioned motioning to his head after he stood up from freeing himself from the ruined chains.
"Oh! Well-that's none of your GODDAMN BUSSSSINESS! Now, is it?" Sir Pentious was about to answer when he caught on and hissed back defensively.
"Heh, would that make your hat the top and you the bottom?" Angel taunted and even Ayden had to snort at that roast,
"PFT!"
"Oooooh!" An Egg Boi heckled his own boss and had a rock thrown at him by Sir Pentious.
"HA! Ev'n he gets it!" Ayden added insult to injury before Sir Pentious yelled at them in an enraged tone,
"I'm going to blow you to bitssss!"
"Hm, kinky!" Angel commented after eyeing him up and down making Sir Pentious respond,
"Oh, not like that! Pervert!"
Ayden's ear twitched when an Egg Boi with a tentacle launcher showed up right behind them before she and Cherri were shoved aside by Angel as it caught all his hands to trap him.
"Not so cocky now, are we?!" Sir Pentious taunted as he got up in Angel's face but he just asked in an unamused tone,
"Y'know, you really gotta watch what comes outta ya mouth. I've been making these sex jokes the whole-TIME!" He yelped a bit when his limbs got pulled taut as an Egg Boi showed up with a giant drill aimed for him before he continued, his third pair of arms showing up with a gun in their grip, "And it's obvious ya ain't catchin' on. I mean, it's just sad!"
He shot at Sir Pentious before flipping him off when his arms were released from the tentacle device just before Cherri showed up behind him to ask,
"So, think you're gonna get in a lotta trouble for this?"
"Eh, what's one little brawl gonna cause?" Angel asked as they looked down on Sir Pentious while his third pair of arms retracted back into his body
"I'm pre'y su'e the bosses have thei' own problems right 'bout now…" Ayden commented while rolling her eyes but it went unheard by Angel and Cherri as she told them while punching Angel and Ayden on their arms,
"Glad you haven't changed! You know you're my favorite guy and little slugger to party with!"
"You know it, sugar tits!"
"Anytime homegi'l!" Ayden winked while giving her a thumbs up.
"You both ready to finish this?" Cherri rolls another bomb across her shoulders while skillfully lighting it as Angel readies his Tommy gun and Ayden unsheaths her claws as they each rally,
"Born ready, baby!"
"Let's fuckin' go 'lready!"
The three of them launched with a warcry yell toward Sir Pentious and his remaining Egg Boiz not realizing they were in a similar position to Charlie in her fight against Katie while Tom had somehow been lit on fire and was screaming in agony.
Cut to a little while later, Charlie's family limo was seen driving back to the hotel while, inside, Charlie's hugging her knees as she sighed dejectedly while Vaggie was crossing her arms and glaring daggers at Angel and Ayden, the former playing with the automatic car window roller while the latter was sitting with her knees pulled up to her chest on the car seat, licking her paws to clean the Egg Boi "blood" out of her hair.
Once they caught sight of Vaggie's scrunched-up furious face, Ayden paused mid-lick with a cat-like "blep" facial expression while Angel stopped messing with the window so he could question,
"...What?"
"'What?' 'WHAT?!' What were you DOING?!" Vaggie shouted incredulously as she ripped out bits of her hair.
"I owed my girl buddy a solid!" Angel tried to justify his action with a sigh and Ayden added,
"And I was helpin'im helpin'er out."
"Yeah isn't that a 'redeeming quality?' Helping friends with stuff?" Angel made air quotes as he argued while rolling his eyes.
"Not with turf wars that result in territorial genocide!" Vaggie yelled at them but Angel brushed it off with an unconcerned,
"Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred. Ehahahahahah!" Inhaling deeply before resuming playing with the car window roller again, "It wasn't that bad, anyway."
*FW-TCH!*
Until a knife courtesy of Vaggie was thrown at the window roller switch to stop him from messing with it as her glare deepened.
"Aw, come on! I had to!" Angel argued as he brushed his hair back, "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!"
At the last part, he suggestively pushed his chest floof up only enraging Vaggie more as she yelled,
"Your credibility? What about the hotel's?! Your little stunt made us look like a fucking joke!"
Vaggie's eye was practically ablaze but it didn't faze Angel or Ayden in the slightest as he scoffed while moving around in his seat in different poses,
"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!"
Charlie winced deeper with each emphasis Angel made and the final nail in the metaphorical embarrassment coffin was when Ayden added,
"'Sides I'm pre'y su'e people 'lready thought we we'e a joke when Cha'lie decided ta sing…"
"You aren't off the hook either!" Vaggie's attention turned to Ayden as she picked at some rubble that got stuck between her digits and some broken edges of her claws while she got chewed out, "You can't keep covering for Angel's ass every time he decides to act out! Don't forget we're only letting you stay at the hotel because you said you'd help us out and that wasn't helping!"
"Fo' you'e info'mation Ms. Twisted Pan'ies, I did practice ea'lie' like ya told me to." Ayden retorted back with a smug look while Angel was twisting around looking for something in the limo from the way he asked,
"This thing have any liquor?"
Making Ayden "accidentally" kick his head when he searched under her seat only to find a large dust bunny as he snapped while rubbing his head,
"Aye!"
"Oops?" Ayden held her arms up in a half-shrug still with a smug look on her face before Vaggie yelled at both of them,
"Can you please just try to take this seriously?!"
"Fine, I'll try. Just don't get your taco in a twist, baby!" Angel agreed, flicking the dust bunny away before he snapped in Vaggie's direction, only for her to question offended,
"Was that you trying to be sexist or racist?!"
"Whatever pisses you off more." Angel groaned, completely unbothered by the death glare in Vaggie's eye as he whined, "Is there seriously no liquor in here?!"
"Jus' pull from yer stash when we get back." Ayden commented nonchalantly as she resumed cleaning herself.
"I'm gonna kill'em." Vaggie huffed as she sat back down next to Charlie with her arms crossed.
"Too late, toots."
"I'd like ta see ya try!" Ayden scoffed as she mimicked Angel and propped her paws up on the other seats while putting her arms behind her head.
"Wait! Would that make me double-dead?" Angel questioned out of nowhere, "Hah, and where exactly do I go? To Double Hell? Hahahahahahahaha! Sorry, you're stuck with me, bitch. Get used to it."
"¡Come mierda, malparido hijos de-!" (Eat shit, you bastard children of-!) Vaggie snarled through her clenched teeth.
"Hey!" Ayden spoke offended, even if she had no idea what Vaggie just said.
"Listen, who cares if some jack-offs got hurt? Most of 'em are ugly freaks. Look around!" Angel looked out the limousine window as he smirked, "You got a bunch a fuckin' Harlequin babies down here!"
"You're one to talk." Vaggie snarked with a smug grin making Angel retort,
"Hey!" Before he started motioning to his body, "This body is flawless! Everyone wants summa me and I got the creepy fan letters to prove it!"
He reached into his chest floof after pushing it up flirtatiously to pull out a letter with a Polaroid photo attached to it.
"Don't even wanna see it… ulgh-eh!" Ayden pushed the photo away with a paw as she shivered and gagged.
"Grrr…" Vaggie looked like she was about to go off on another rant when Charlie cut in to mildly scold them both,
"That was really uncool, y'know, Angel, Ayden."
"'Uncool'?!" Vaggie started to yell again, "After that train wreck, there is no way anyone is gonna wanna stay at the hotel! All thanks to you both and your selfish bullshit!"
Pointing to Angel and Ayden toward the end, he asked,
"Does that mean we don't have our free rooms anymore?"
Vaggie made a "what do you think?!" motion and Angel complained while snapping a finger,
"Ah... well, shucks."
"Dannazione…" (Damn it…) Ayden pouted as she slouched in her seat with a moody frown and Angel gave her a proud smirk.
"Hey, come on. We don't know if things are over yet!" Charlie tried to remain hopeful as she took off her ruined jacket before turning to Vaggie to calm her down with a gentle touch to her shoulder, "Try to relax, Vaggie. I-it'll be okay!"
Making Vaggie smile softly at her girlfriend's optimism right as the limo stopped right outside of the Happy Hotel.
Once they all got inside, Vaggie went straight for the couch with a frustrated sigh, Charlie went to sit on top of some crates, and Ayden and Angel went to the fridge that was leaning on the wall in the foyer to find something to eat.
"Anythin'?" Ayden asked before Angel managed to find a box of melting Popsies inside and pulled the last one out, about to offer it to Ayden when she gently rejected it with a raised paw saying,
"I had a sandwich ea'lie'." Walking away to sit at the mini table near Vaggie so Angel could shrug and start eating it before he commented to Charlie,
"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…"
But his joking laughter trailed off when he noticed Charlie's dejected expression deepen even more and he started to reach out to her, about to try and comfort her when he decided to back off.
"Too soon..." Ayden muttered as she slumped over the table with her tail flicking mindlessly behind her while Charlie went outside.
Angel was about to make a snarky comment when he heard her stomach make a little rumbling noise that made her grimace a bit so he held the popsicle over to her.
She perked up and smiled at him a bit before she took a bite from the tip, making him snort to hold back his laughter so Ayden lightly hit his arm with her tail as she chuckled too before it fell as she went back to frowning.
There was a moment of quiet as Angel continued sucking the popsicle and Ayden and Vaggie just moped in place right before-
*TCH!*
Ayden's ears perked up when she heard the faint sound of someone knocking at the door before they continued knocking in some kind of pattern,
*TCH!* *TCH!* *TCH!* *TCH!*
*TCH!* *TCH!*
Ayden shifted to hellcat form to scamper over to Charlie as her fur prickled up from the weird feeling she was getting from whoever was on the other side of the door.
"Ayden?"
"Be ca'eful…"
Charlie looked at her oddly before opening the door to reveal a tall red schemed demon with a deer-like appearance down to the small antlers on his head, wearing a striped suit, black pants, dress shoes, a monocle, and carrying around a staff with a microphone on one end.
Ayden had no idea who this demon was but Charlie seemed to from the way her face dropped in disbelief just as the demon greeted,
"Hel-"
Before the door got slammed in his face, Charlie looking to the side in disbelief for a second before reopening the door so the demon could finish what he had been saying before-
"-lo!"
Only for the door to be closed on him again so Charlie could call out to Vaggie,
"Hey, Vaggie?"
"Whaaaat?" Vaggie called back in an annoyed tone before Charlie told her nervously,
"The Radio Demon is at the door!"
"What?!" Vaggie instantly sat up at that news but Angel and Ayden were clueless as they both asked,
"Uh... who?"
"Yeh who?" Ayden repeated as she stayed by the door but shifted back to demon cat form to cross her arms, waiting for an answer.
"What should I do?!" Charlie asked, panicking while pulling at her face.
"Uh, well- Don't let him in!" Vaggie told her as Angel went back to sucking his popsicle.
After a moment, Charlie looked back to the door and walked past Ayden as she commented,
"She's gon' let'im in…"
To open the door again as the red demon asked in, what Ayden was now hearing to be a radio broadcasting tone,
"May I speak now?"
"You may…"
"Alastor!" The demon held out a hand to Charlie as he introduced himself before pulling her to literally be face to face with him as he entered the hotel, "Pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart! Quite a pleasure!"
Charlie looked bewildered for a second at Alastor as he walked right past Ayden while he continued to speak rapid fire,
"Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on the 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, sooo many orphans…"
Right before he was stopped with a spear pointed at his chest as Vaggie appeared in front of him to threaten,
"Stop right there, cabrón hijo de perra! (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!"
"Yeh what she said." Ayden added trying to match Vaggie's threatening tone as she slid in next to her with her claws unsheathed but Alastor was unbothered as he used a finger to move Vaggie's spear away while using his staff to lightly whap Ayden's paws down while telling them,
"Dearies, if I wanted to hurt anyone here…" Alastor's eyes turned into radio dials as he threatened creepily, "I would've done so already…"
Their whole surroundings fritzing and fizzling out with static and strange symbols that left Charlie, Vaggie, and Ayden staring at him disconcerted before he snapped back to normal as he told them,
"No! I'm here because I want to help!"
"Say what, now?"
"Help! Hahaha, hellooo? Is this thing on? Testing, testing!" Alastor held his staff up to his mouth to speak into it before tapping it to make sure it was working.
*Well, I heard you loud and clear!* An eyeball opened up on the microphone as it yelled back at him.
"Woah.. freaky…" Ayden made a move to poke the staff from the side but her paw was whapped away again as Charlie questioned,
"Um, you want to help? Wiiiith...?"
"This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel! I want to help you run it." Alastor reappeared from behind them before making a motion to the hotel, only making Charlie question,
"Buuut... why?"
"Hahaha, why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom!" Alastor explained while leaning an elbow on top of Vaggie's head, "I've lacked inspiration for decades. My work became mundane, lacking focus," Before shoving Vaggie away as he finished, "aimless! I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Hahaha!"
"Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment...?" Charlie asked nervously as Vaggie picked herself back up to stand next to her.
"I'd think so.." Ayden commented while shrugging before Alastor seemed to echo her sentiment as he told Charlie,
"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."
"So, does this mean you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?" Charlie asked hopefully only to have her hopes dashed when Alastor disagreed,
"Hahahahaha! Of course not! That's wacky nonsense!" Shaking a hand in front of her face as her hopeful expression turned to one of dismay as Alastor continued saying,
"Redemption, oh the non-existent humanity! No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome Sinners!" He looked over to Vaggie, who looked offended, and Angel, who just shrugged, before gesturing to their surroundings as he finished, "The chance given was the life they lived before, the punishment is this! There is no undoing what is done!"
"So, then. Why do you wanna help me if you don't believe in my cause?" Charlie asked and Alastor discreetly gave a sneaky smile before answering while twirling Charlie around even as she gave him a disappointed look,
"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!"
"Riiiight." Charlie drew out skeptically as she removed Alastor's hand from her shoulder before continuing pitching,
"Yes, indeedy! I see big things coming your way and who better to help you than I…?"
Vaggie, Angel, and Ayden all watched Charlie and Alastor leave before Angel asked while hooking a thumb in Alastor's direction,
"Uh, so... uh, what's the deal with Smiles over there?"
"Wait, you've never heard of him before? You've been here longer than me!"
Angel shrugged cluelessly so Vaggie turned to Ayden hoping she'd know as she asked,
"You?"
But Ayden just raised her arms in a half-shrug while responding,
"Nerp."
"Weren't you born here?"
"Yeehh…?" Ayden drew out lying but covered it up with nonchalance as she added, "So…?"
Vaggie rolled her eyes before trying to explain,
"The Radio Demon. One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?"
"Eh, not big on politics." Angel spoke while shrugging a second time and Ayden echoed,
"Me eithe'."
"Ugh!" Vaggie grunted before she started to recount ominously, leaning in toward Angel and Ayden, "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' (as lazy as that is). 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!"
"Ya done?" Angel questioned, breaking the tense atmosphere Vaggie had created before he laughed dryly as he commented while looking at Alastor, "He looks like a strawberry pimp."
"I was thinkin' walkin' licorice stick." Ayden added with a cheeky smile before Vaggie huffed,
"Well, I don't trust him!"
"To be fair, do you trust any man?" Angel asked her before piling it on even as she gave him a deadpan look, "Any men? Men?"
As Vaggie went to talk to Charlie, Ayden side-bumped Angel as she muttered,
"Ya think she's right?"
"Eh ya know she can get worked up over nothin'."
"Right, right…"
Noticing her slight nervousness, Angel poked her nose to tease,
"Don't tell me you're fallin' for all that 'danger and mystery' biz."
"Neve'!"
"Ya totally are! Pappamolle! (Wuss!)"
"Idiota! (Jerk!)"
The two of them engaged in a playful slapping fight that only ended when they saw Charlie step back over to Alastor to tell him,
"Okay, so, Al. You're sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here as a joke."
The second Charlie turned away from him, some eerie glowing red symbols started to appear around Alastor, only to disappear right when Charlie turned back to him to express,
"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… trickster, voodoo strings attached."
"So, it's a deal, then?" Alastor twirled his staff around before offering a hand in Charlie's direction as green energy and sparks started to swirl around it, sending a gust of wind that even Ayden and Angel felt as they bolted off the couch, the former prepared to attack when Charlie refused the handshake as she hurried to "order" hesitantly,
"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."
She looked over to Vaggie for approval, who gave an "oh boy…" expression while Ayden gave her an unsure shrug, before asking him,
"Sound fair?"
"Hmm…" Alastor stroked his chin in thought for a second before retracting his staff as he agreed, "Fair enough!"
"Phew… Cool beans." Charlie sighed in relief while giving a double thumbs up.
" Hmm hm hmm hmm… "
Humming a random tune, Alastor strolled around taking in the building as Angel went to sit by the Concierge desk with Ayden close by before he zeroed in on Vaggie who was standing with her arms crossed and looking down in irritation and told her while tickling her chin,
"Smile, my dear!"
Making Vaggie fume in aggravation even as Alastor advised her,
"You know you're never fully dressed without one! Hmm hmhmhmhm hmmmmm… "
He walked off humming again as Vaggie glared after him before he asked Charlie,
"So where is your hotel staff?"
"Uh, well…" Charlie motioned back over to Vaggie as she screwed her eye even further shut in a death glare before Alastor recommended while adjusting his monocle,
"Ohohoho, you're going to need more than that."
Before walking over to Angel to ask,
"And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?"
"I can suck your dick!" Angel answered candidly, a mic feedback noise sounding off from Alastor before he laughed and answered bluntly,
"HAH! No."
"Tch… Your loss." Angel scoffed making Ayden grimace with her ears folding down,
"Eww…"
"And technically Ayden's a staff member too." Charlie spoke up motioning over to her and Alastor turned to her to ask,
"Oh? And what can you do?"
"I can do this." Ayden raised both paws to summon a fireball in each before "crushing" them and flipping double birds as the flames reappeared on the tips of her digits like little candles.
"Weeeell a feline firestarter, I'm sure there's a use for that somewhere here."
Ayden let the flames extinguish as she rolled her eyes at Alastor's condescending tone and muttered,
"Arsehole… YAH!"
Before yelping as her head was whacked when he summoned his mic staff again, ignoring her indignant expression and hiss, as he noted,
"Well, this just won't do! I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up."
*TCH!*
*FWOOSH!*
Snapping his finger, a wave of flames and sparks flushed out from the fireplace before fading away to reveal it had been completely remodeled to look brand new as a small figure covered in soot dropped down and remained in the hearth.
Alastor went to pick up the figure before a giant orange and red bloodshot eye opened up and some odd little chittering noises came from it before the soot was poofed off their body to reveal a little cyclops Sinner with pink bob-cut hair with a yellow streak in it, pink dots at the corners of her mouth, and wearing a 1950s-style maid dress outfit and a neckerchief.
"This little darling is Niffty!" Alastor introduced her before dropping her to the floor so she could wave to and inspect them all with her large eye,
"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 exclaimed, startling everyone as she lifted Charlie above her head before putting her down to speak rapidly while zipping around cleaning, organizing, and killing bugs with her needle,
"I'm sorry, that's rude. Oooh, man! This place is filthy! It really needs a lady's touch! Which is weird because you're all ladies, no offense. Ohmygosh! Thisisawful! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!"
All of them stared at her as she kept cleaning around before they turned around when they heard someone, an avian cat Sinner wearing a top hat, a red bow tie, and black pants with suspenders and whose wings were patterned with playing card symbols, speaking from a bar that had mysteriously appeared in the foyer behind them,
"Hah! Read 'em and weep, boys! Full Hoooooo-" More of Alastor's demonic symbols and illusions appeared around the demon before fading and the Sinner questioned, "-tel? What the fuck is this?" Right before realizing he and the bar had been teleported because of Alastor, snarling while pointing at him, "You!"
"Ah, Husker, my good friend! Glad you could make it!" Alastor tried to greet him with a hand to his shoulder but Husk pushed it off to point at him and gripe,
"Don't you 'Husker' me, you son of a bitch! I was about to win the whole damn pot!"
Pointing back to the gambling table where stacks of money and poker chips fizzled out of existence but Alastor didn't seem to care as he spoke again,
"Good to see you too!"
Making Husk facepalm angrily and drag his lower eyelids down in impatience as he questioned,
"What the hell do you want with me this time...?"
"My friend, I am doing some charity work so I took it upon myself to volunteer your services! I hope that's okay!" Alastor wrapped an arm around Husk's shoulders, making some cards fall out of his "sleeve," to tell him before he shouted back,
"Are you shittin' me?!"
"Hmm…" Alastor hugged him closer as he answered, "No, I don't think so!"
Causing Husk shoved him off to yell,
"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?!"
"May-be!"
"I ain't doing no fucking charity job."
"Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment!" He gestured to the bar before motioning back to Husk as he pulled his mouth into a smile, uncaring of how it fell back into a frown as he continued to speak, "With your charming smile and welcoming energy, this job was made for you!"
Seeing Husk still moodily scowling at him, Alastor walked over to the bar counter before bargaining,
"Don't worry my friend, I can make this more welcoming…! If you wish..."
He waves an arm to make a bottle of "Cheap Booze" magically appear out of nowhere and Husk stares at it for a second before ranting,
"What? You think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?!" Husk grabbed the bottle as he got in Alastor's face before turning the metaphorical corner, "…Well, you can!"
Just as Husk started downing the alcohol while going back behind the counter of the bar just before Vaggie started protesting,
"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!"
Right before Angel tackled her as he argued while pointing at the bar with all his hands,
"SHUT UP! SHUT! UP! We are keeping this!"
"~Heeey.~"
"Go fuck yourself." Husk brushed off Angel's advance but he kept persisting while holding Husk's face,
"~Only if you watch me!~"
Right before Ayden slid up the bar and tried talking in a slightly deeper voice,
"I'll have a bou'bon on the rocks. Shaken not sti'ed."
"Nice try kid…" Husk deadpanned with a raised brow, making her snark,
"Dammit…"
Charlie rushed up with happy squeaks and stars shining in her eyes to exclaim at Husk,
"Oh, my gosh! Welcome to The Happy Hotel! You are going to love it here!"
But Husk wasn't having it as he told her bluntly before continuing to drink his booze,
"I lost the ability to love years ago."
"So, whaddaya think?" Alastor asked her before she answered happily while rubbing her cheeks,
"This is amazing!"
"It's... okay." Vaggie spoke with her arms crossed, still distrusting of Alastor before he dragged the two of them into a hug,
"Hahaha! This is going to be very entertaining!"
He lets go of Vaggie and summons a fireball, launching it to the hotel ceiling just so he could distract Charlie fast enough for him to shove Vaggie away before his clothes changed to a tux and top hat while singing,
You have a dream! You wish to tell!
Alastor changes Charlie's outfit before jabbing toward Vaggie and tossing Charlie into the air,
And it's just laughable. But, hey, kid, what the hell?
The background behind Charlie changes to neon-colored lights featuring two apples and a skull before he catches Charlie by the hand as they both tap dance together before sliding down the railing of the stairs,
'Cause you're one-of-a-kind! A charming demon belle!
Now, let's give these burning fools a place to dwell!
With another snap of his fingers, everyone else's outfits were changed to styles from the 1920s and Ayden let go from helping Angel hold Vaggie back from fighting Alastor when her outfit changed to a maroon tank-top style flapper dress with a red headband that had orange feathers sprouting out from a small jeweled bow as her hair curled into a bob, her choker changing to a string of pearls making her panic a bit before-
Take it, boys!
Shadow demons appeared from the floorboards and began playing their instruments as Vaggie tried to talk to Charlie who was having too much fun before Alastor pulled her in with him and the others as his shadow demons surround them with a,
"Boo!"
Haha! Inside of every demon is a lost cause!
Alastor put a fedora on Angel's head who snapped at him and plucked a bit of Husk's eyebrow out making him flip him off before moving on to Ayden and Vaggie as he harshly flicked the former's nose making her hiss at him before giving the latter a large hat and fur scarf and slapping her butt while singing,
But we'll dress 'em up for now, with just a smile!
(With a smile!)
And we'll chlorinate this cesspool with some old redemption flair! And show these simpletons some proper class and style!
He summoned more shadows one of which looked to be his shadow clone but was snapped away as they kept singing and dancing with Charlie,
(Class and style!)
Oh! Here below the ground, I'm sure your plan is sound! They'll spend a little time, down at this Hazbin Ho-
*BOOM!*
The hotel door explodes, knocking Niffty off into the distance as Charlie, Alastor, Angel, Vaggie, and Ayden look outside to see Sir Pentious's warship outside the hotel as he announces,
"Hah! Well, well, well. Look who it is harboring the striped freak and the feline fledgling! We meet yet again, Alastor!"
"Do I know you?" Alastor questions leaving Sir Pentious with a deflated ego before he argued,
"Oh, yes you do! And this time, I have the element of SURPRISE!"
He pulls a lever from within his war machine before a cannon disengages from the bottom of the ship, powering up to fire while Sir Pentious gloated,
"Ahaha! I'm so evil!"
Until Alastor snapped a finger and a large portal opened up underneath the ship and tentacles came through to surround the ship, breaking the cannon off to be thrown into a separate portal.
Sir Pentious and his Egg Boiz's yells and cries were heard from even down below as the tentacles thrashed them around before moving to cover the whole ship as Alastor commanded them to crush it in an explosive mass of smoke, shrapnel, and sliced tentacles,
*PSSSHHHH…!*
There was a tense moment as Alastor was seen grinning maniacally and the others looked at him with a mix of fear, disbelief, and slight awe before it was broken by him asking as if nothing had happened,
"...Well, I'm starved! Who wants some Jambalaya?"
Alastor started walking back to the hotel while speaking with Niffty hopping after him excitedly, Charlie and Vaggie walked together with the former smiling giddily and the latter trying to give her a supportive smile, Angel sending Husk a flirty wink and blown kiss as he looked thrown off by it, and Ayden shifted to hellcat form to climb and settle onto Angel's shoulder as he fixed his hair,
"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…"
Some more magic from Alastor changed the "Happy" on the hotel's sign to "Hazbin" as he finished and chuckled sinisterly,
"...Stay tuned. Hahaha... !"
…
…
…
Later that night after everyone had finished the Jambalaya dinner Alastor prepared, with some slight suspicion from a couple of them, Ayden was exiting her bathroom dressed in her pjs when she saw Angel waiting for her right outside the door to her room so she questioned,
"Uhh wha's goin' on?"
"We need to talk."
"Oh great…" Ayden's ears and tail drooped down in dismay before she tossed her clothes on the floor and walked out into the hallway behind Angel before turning back to him to comment while crossing her arms, "Nothin' good eve' came from 'we need ta talk…'"
Ayden used her paw to mimic a mouth moving while deepening her voice toward the end of her sentence but Angel just firmly slapped her paw down to scold, hiss whispering since he didn't want to draw attention from the others,
"What the fuck were you thinkin' jumpin' into the fight like that earlier…?!"
"C'mooon! You of all demons should know I neve' miss a good fight if I can."
"That's not what I'm talking about…! I'm talking about using your portal-crystal-thingy." Angel pointed to her choker that was still around her neck and she rolled her eyes before taking it off with a snarky,
"Oh doomed am I if they see I gotta cool lookin' piece of jewel'ry…"
"We had a deal…!"
"Yeh I know; I don't use it 'nless it's fo' eme'gencies ta stay outta trouble wi'h Ove'lo'ds who might wanna use me for it…"
"Exactly and now we got an Overlord livin' with us…!"
Little did either of them know, as if summoned by name alluding, a shadow with an eerie grin materialized down the hall right as Ayden argued,
"I thought ya said not ta worry 'bout'im…"
"That was before I saw Smiles in action." Angel sighed before pinching the bridge of his nose as he told her, "Look, just don't let him or any of the others find out about your secret…!"
"Fiiiine….! A'e we done 'ere?" Ayden asked, getting impatient with Angel's nagging and he sighed with a resigned look as he answered,
"Yeah…"
"Right then g'night." Ayden muttered tiredly before retreating to her room and closing the door behind her as Angel sighed again before returning to his room.
The hallway lights flickered a bit before Alastor manifested from the shadow that'd been on the hallway floor as he commented ominously while looking at Ayden's door in front of him,
"~Weeeell~ things just became much more entertaining…"
