Chapter 40: Dad Beats Dad Part 1
One morning, Vaggie is sleeping in her bed. She squirms before waking up, yawing, and rubbing her eyes. She soon turns to the left side to see Charlie is not in bed.
"Charlie?" Vaggie questions.
Downstairs in the lobby, Charlie is panicking and planning out everything with lots of paper with strings attached with everyone else watching her, disturbed by her behavior.
Charlie says to herself, "I'm just not quite understanding why it's not working. Okay, okay, think Charlie. Think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think. Okay if I do this, it's going to be-" She gasps, "I have trust falls every single morning. We can do-" and lets out another gasp, "Come on, come on, come on, come on."
"Yikes," Angel says.
"How long has she been like this?" Keenan asks.
"I found her like this this morning," Blitz says.
"Char Char, "Tilla sadly says.
Finally, Vaggie speaks up, "Charlie? Sweetie? You, uh, you good?"
Charlie looks back, "Nope!"with a sleep-deprived, insane look in her eyes that red veins were shown in the sclera, "No, not really. Ha ha. I've been up all night trying to figure out why the hotel isn't working," And crushes paper with hand, "We've done trust falls, we've tried sharing our feelings, we only have a couple months left before the angels come," And turns into demonic form and laughs maniacally before turning back to normal, "And at this rate-"
Vaggie then speaks up, "Maybe it's time-"
"NO," Charlie denies.
"To ask-" Vaggie continues.
Charlie gets up close to Vaggie's face, holding her cheeks desperately, "DON'T SAY IT."
"Your dad," Vaggie concludes.
Charlie groans, knowing what this means for her.
"Charlie, I know you don't want to, but we need every advantage we can get," Vaggie says.
But Charlie says, "He let the extermination happen to begin with. They just had a meeting and said, 'Go ahead and kill everyone,'"
Suddenly, Charlie gasps in realization, "Wait, that's it!"
"Kill everyone?" Vaggie questions.
"No! He could get me a meeting with Heaven!" Charlie says.
"Didn't you already try that?" Aurora asks.
"Well. yeah with Adam, he was an a-, uh, jerkface…" Charlie says, "But he isn't in charge of all of Heaven. We could go to the top. There's sure to be some angels who will listen."
Charlie scrolls through her contacts. In her contacts, she has Egg Boiz 1, 2, and 3, before her thumb lingers on top of her 'Dad'. However, she's hesitant to call her dad.
"What's the holdup? You got daddy issues?" Husk questions.
"No, we just have never been close," Charlie answers, "After he and mom split, he never really wanted to see me. He calls sometimes, but only if he's bored or needs me to do something."
"Daddy issues," Husk says, aware of Charlie's problem.
Then Angel says, "Well I'd like to meet the big dick in charge."
Holding a knife, Niffty says, "The ultimate bad boy, " And laughs like a gremlin with excitement, holding a knife while Angel takes her knife away without her knowing, "I bet he's scary."
Tilla begins to whimper in response.
Blitz rocks Tilla, "It's okay, Tilla. It's okay."
"Don't worry, my dad isn't as bad as everyone appears, but he can be scary when he gets mad," Charlie says.
And with that, Charlie begins to call her dad.
Meanwhile, in Lucifer's home, it showed framed photos of his family in a dark spooky room. Lucifer can be heard making snarling noise as he was working on something.
Lucifer says to himself, "That's it... Almost there... Now presenting…" And presents the duck as he holds it in his hand, "The magic-tastical back flipping rubber duck! Haha!" And the toy duck flips, "That spits fire!" and the rubber duck shoots a flamethrower from its mouth.
As the scene goes, his room is revealed to be filled with a lot of rubber ducks, and stacks of them filled the boxes and tubs.
Lucifer is a slender-figured fallen angel who sports a close resemblance to his daughter, Charlie - having her white skin with rosy-cheeks, blonde hair with thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler blonde highlights, and eyes with light yellow sclera and red pupils. He is shorter than his daughter, though not by a large amount. Unlike Charlie, his mouth is full of sharp teeth, his hair is short-cut and has been slicked back with one tuft sticking out, his pupils are slit like a snake, and his cheeks are a paler shade of red. In addition, he also sports black sharp eyebrows, and his eyelids are light purple. His forearms also appear to be dark gray when his sleeves are rolled up. Lucifer's white and red clothing is somewhat like that of a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes, which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with several golden buttons - his coat worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bowtie. He also wears a set of heeled black knee-high boots. On his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring.
Lucifer smiles and says, "Hoo hoo hoo! Hold the applause please, okay. Oh, thank you, thank you."
But then says in frustration, "Oh god, who am I kidding? This sucks!" and throws the rubber duck at his family portrait and looks sad.
Suddenly, his ringtone plays.
He picks up the phone and is shocked to see who's calling, "Daughter? Daughter! Daughter calling?! OH! Uhm uh, uh hello, Charlie. He-ey, hey, hey Char-Char. No, no! That's not good. Oh, this is the first time she's called you in years. This has to be perfect.
He then takes a deep breath before he picks up the phone, "Hey~ bitch!"
Intercut conversation between Lucifer and Charlie during the phone call from the hotel to his house.
"Hi, Dad," Charlie says.
"Hey! How are you? Oh ho. Where-where are you these days?" Lucifer replies.
"You know where I am Dad. I've told you before," Charlie says, sounding annoyed.
"You have?" Lucifer questions, but then says, "Oh, yeah uh, well, you know, I um uh-"
But Charlie says, "I told you when you called me five months ago, or did you not listen?"
"No, no, no, no. Just, you know, just forgot," Lucifer says, "You know, I've just been really busy, you know, with, um, important things," and kicks rubber duck.
"Well, I'm actually running a hotel to rehabilitate sinners. Maybe you saw our commercial?" Charlie says.
But Lucifer says, "Oh, sadly, I missed it. heh heh. You know, I haven't been watching much TV lately. Scrambles the brain," And makes silly noises, "But hey! A hotel, fun."
Charlie sighs, "Listen Dad, I've got kind of a big ask."
Lucifer coughs and sets down his tea, "Yeah, of course. Anything in my power is yours for the asking. You just name it~"
"I need to speak to Heaven. Well, whoever's in charge up there, above Adam, above anybody. I need to go to the top," Charlie says.
But Lucifer says, "Oh, no. No~ No, no, no, no, Charlie, no, no, no. That's, uh hah, no."
Charlie soon angrily says, "Look Dad," And says normally, "I don't ask you for much, I never have, but this, this is really important to me. It's the most important thing I've ever done. And I...need you. I need your help."
"I don't know, Charlie," Lucifer says, unsure.
Charlie then begs, "Please! Just come see what I'm trying to do. You'll see why it's a really good idea. And Heaven is bound to agree if I get the chance to talk to them. Please, Dad."
Hearing what Charlie is asking, Lucifer says, "Wait, you're...inviting me over?!" And soon becomes excited, "Absolutely! Oh, I'll be there in an hour."
He hangs up the phone and says in a singing tone, "My daughter wants to see me~!"
And then points at the rubber duck below him, "Take that, depression!"
Back at the hotel, Charlie hangs up the phone and says to everyone, "Welp, we have an hour until he gets here."
Soon, Vaggie says to everyone, "Okay people," Everyone stands at attention, but Husk spills coffee over himself and Niffty collapses on the floor, "Lucifer is on his way. So we are going to get this place presentable and we are going to make an amazing impression. Vamanos!"
And with that, everyone scatters to get the place tidy and ready for Lucifer's arrival.
"That was fast," Keenan says.
"Well he's the king of Hell, and Charlie's dad, so it's important to get the place clean," Loona says.
Aurora turns to Charlie and Vaggie, "Is there anything we can do to help?"
"Well you all help with the cleaning and make yourself presentable, so let's get to work," Vaggie says.
Vaggie, Aurora, Loona, and Keenan head off to do some of the cleaning and make the hotel presentable. Charlie is about to leave too, but turns to notice Blitz is standing with Tilla in his arms, having his head lowered and looking concerned.
"What's wrong, Blitz? You seem worried about something" Charlie asks.
Blitz turns to Charlie, "A little, but I don't know. I mean, I know that he's your dad, but do you think we should tell them about the crystals? You know, the Asmodean Core and the two Crystals that I found in the Pride Ring and Greed Ring."
"Well, I do think it's best to let my dad know. After all, he and the others have been searching for the seven for years, and you've managed to find two of them, and have the core attached to you," Charlie says, "I'm sure my dad can help you and your family, especially you with the crystal and maybe even your memories."
"I guess so," Blitz says, "And well, I don't know why, but I felt as though I'd heard his name… a long time ago…"
Charlie turns to Blitz and is showing concern.
"Well, for now, let's start cleaning the hotel, okay," Charlie says.
Blitz nods, "Okay."
And with that, everyone in the hotel cleaned up the place for Lucifer's arrival. Sir Pentious and Niffty bakes cookies, then Niffty along with Aurora start sweeping and Husk along with Blitz and Loona are cleaning up. Keenan is watching little Tilla with KeeKee, and Sophie, while everyone else is busy
Alastor walks in and watches Razzle and Dazzle put up a 'Wellcum Daddy' banner. Angel puts on some makeup before closing the mirror, revealing to be Niffty staring creepily at him, making Angel recoil back in surprise.
Charlie sighs, "Okay everyone, it's showtime!
Charlie opens the door, revealing it to be Lucifer.
Lucifer shouts with excitement, "Charlie!"
"Hey, Da-" Charlie speaks out.
But before she can finish, Lucifer hugs her really tight like a bear. Unbeknownst to them, Alastor was right behind them, with his wicked smile strained and left eye twitching in anger when Alastor saw Lucifer.
Still hugging Charlie, Lucifer says, "Oh it's so good to see you. Haha!"
"It's uh, good to see you too, Dad," Charlie says, strained.
Lucifer lets go of Charlie to give her a breather.
Charlie clears her throat and announces, "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!"
Two Egg Boiz pops some party poppers as a warm welcome.
KeeKee curls up to Lucifer and rubs her face against his legs. Lucifer notices her and goes all enchanted by her cuteness.
He crouches down and rubs her head, "Oh, hewwo KeeKee!"
Razzle and Dazzle flies by and Lucifer greets them,
He then happily says, "Razzle, Dazzle. Oh" and makes endearing noises, "Look how much you haven't grown. Still fun sized. You taking care of my wittle girl?" And speaks in a very deep ominous threatening tone, "You better be."
He snickers and looks around the hotel, "Wow! This place sure looks, uh...uh huh yah uh huh...It's got a lot of character!"
And soon notices the bar at the corner and is instantly repulsed by it, "OH, what in the unholy hell is that?!
Soon, Alastor reappears from the fog and in front of Angel, "Just some of the renovations we had done. Adds a bit of color, don't you think?"
Lucifer looks at him suspiciously, and points his apple top cane at him, "And you are?"
Alastor reappears in front of Lucifer, "Alastor. Pleasure to be meeting you, sir. Quite a pleasure," And he shakes Lucifer's cane and wiping his hand in somewhat hidden disgust, "It's nice to finally put a face to the name," Indicates the height, "You are much shorter in real life," making a hand gesture indicating the height difference between the Morningstars.
Lucifer questions, "Who is this? Who is this nut? Are you the bellhop?"
"Aha! No! I am the host of the hotel. You might have heard of me from my radio broadcast," Alastor says.
"Hmm, nope!" Lucifer quickly answers, "I guess that's why Charlie called it the Has-been Hotel, ahaha!"
Alastor laughs, "Ha ha ha. It was actually my idea."
Lucifer laughs back, "Ahaha. Well, it's not very clever!"
Alastor strained, "Ha ha! Fuck you."
And Alastor and Lucifer were getting closer to fighting.
Charlie soon gets between them, "Okay! Okay, anyway."
Then Charlie begins to show him the hotel, "Dad, look at this lovely parlor where people can get to know each other and share secrets and stories and intimate feelings! Without Alastor, we wouldn't have been able to pretty it up this much." That causes Lucifer to become shocked to hear it.
But Alastor says, "Charlie has a very unique vision. I am happy to fulfill her bizarre requests," And places his hand on Charlie's shoulder.
"Oh, thank you, Alastor," Charlie says, appreciating it.
Lucifer is grumpy that he is winning over Charlie more than he is, which makes him very angry to the point where he growls in frustration.
"Quite an impressive young lady," Alastor says, condescendingly, "We're all very proud of her."
"Ahem, Charlie!" Lucifer clears himself, "Dear, eheh, why don't you introduce me to your OTHER friends?" as he gets between them and points to the others at the table.
Angel Dust tries to get a cookie from Sir Pentious, but he doesn't want Angel touching the cookies without Lucifer trying them and hides them underneath him.
"Oh, yes, of course," Charlie says.
First, Charlie brings Vaggie over, "This is Vaggie, she's my girlfriend."
This has Lucifer surprised as he smiles, "Oh my golly! You like girls? So do I! We have so much in common!" And reaches his hand to Vaggie, "You put her there, Maggie. Hey!" Vaggie tries to shake his hand, but Lucifer pulls her to a hug, "Oh yeah. She's so pretty." And let her go.
Vaggie brushes back her hair as she sheepishly says, "Lovely to meet you, uh, sir."
Then Charlie introduces the others, "And this is Sir Pentious and Angel Dust, our guests!"
Hearing his name, Pentious salutes to him, "Your Majesty!" and falls down into the cookies right before Angel Dust takes one for himself.
"Heya short king~" Angel says.
Then Charlie introduces, "Husk is our bartender, and Niffty is our housekeeper."
"Nice to meet you," Husk says.
Niffty was super-excited to meet the ultimate bad boy that she scurries over and climbs up on his coat, "Hello. I clean," And laughs.
Then Charlie says, "And this is Blitz's family. His daughters, Loona, Aurora, and Tilla. And this is his son, Keenan. And their family pet, Sophie"
"Hi," Keenan says.
"Hello," Aurora says.
"Nice to meet you," Loona says.
Tilla waves, "Hello."
Sophie barks in response.
"Hello," Lucifer says, and turns to Charlie, "Didn't know you're housing a family here."
"Well, Blitz and his family are a special case," Charlie says.
"I'll say. One of them looks like an angel and the littlest one is so cute and surprisingly has angel wings, imp horns, and a tail," Lucifer says.
Tilla giggles and happily waves, "Hi Luci."
"Awww, she is adorable," Lucifer gushes, picks up Tilla and nuzzles her cheek with his arms, "She is a cute little duckling! Reminds me of you when you were itty bitty, Char Char." Lucifer says.
Charlie blushes in response, "Dad."
Blitz can't help but smile to see Tilla is already getting along with Lucifer, but he feels stiff upon seeing him, and feels his stomach is in knots.
Suddenly the chandelier falls and produces a huge amount of dust which makes everyone cough. Lucifer and Alastor were at the chandelier when Lucifer knows Alastor has done that on purpose.
Lucifer laughs as he hands Tilla back to Blitz, and says, "Alright then."
With one swing of his own stick, the fallen chandelier disappears and starts to sing.
Lucifer:
Looks like you could use some help.
From the big boss of Hell himself.
Check your daddy's glowing reviews on Yelp!
Lucifer puppets:
5 stars!
Flawless!
Greater than great!
Lucifer:
With a punch of a pentagram,
A wap! Bam! Boom! Alakazam!
Usually I charge a sacrificial lamb.
But you get the family rate!
Lucifer and Charlie:
Thanks dad!
Lucifer:
Who needs a busboy now that you've got the chef?
Chorus of Lucifer lookalikes:
Wa-ah-oh
Lucifer:
Michelin tasting menu free à la carte.
I'll rig the game for you because I'm the ref!
Champagne fountains, caviar mountains, that's just a start!
Alastor:
Who's been here since day one?
Who's been faithful as a nun?
Makes you chuckle with an old-timey pun?
Your executive producer!
"That's true!" Charlie replies.
Alastor:
I'm your guy! Your day to day.
Your chum, your steadfast hotelier.
Remember when I fixed that clog today?
"I was stuck, thank you sir!" Niffty says.
"Oh you!" Charlie happily says.
Alastor:
I'm truly honored that we've built such a bond.
"Awwww!" Charlie says with a smile.
Alastor:
You're like the child that I wish that I had.
This has Lucifer dumbfounded, "Uh, what?"
Alastor:
I care for you just like a daughter I spawned.
"Hold on now!" Lucifer calls out.
Alastor:
It's a little funny! You could almost call me...
DAAAAAAAD!
Angered, Lucifer plays golden fiddle aggressively as he gets closer to Alastor. Suddenly, a piano drops out of the sky and Alastor plays piano aggressively. Lucifer then plays the accordian horribly out of tune with the song, resulting in a temporary fade to black.
Alastor:
They say when you're looking for assistance,
It's smart to pick the path with least resistance!
Lucifer:
Others say that in your needy hour.
There's no substitute for pure angelic power!
Who just happens to also be your blood!
Alastor:
Sadly there are times a birth parent is a dud.
They say the family you choose is better!
Lucifer:
What a bunch of losers!
Alastor:
Can you butt out of my song?
Lucifer:
Your song?! I started it!
Alastor:
I'm singing it! I'll finish it!
Lucifer:
Oh you tacky piece of—!
Right before Lucifer and Alastor could get at each other's throats to kill, the front door opens, and Mimzy barges through the doors and begins to sing.
Mimzy:
It's me! Yes it's me!
I know you were all waiting for me!
I'm here! What a gas!
Took a while but I'm present at last!
It's me! It's me!
Mimzy!
Everyone in the hotel is perplexed by their new house guest in the front.
None of them speak until Lucifer breaks the ice with a question, "Who?"
"Didn't you just hear me?" Mimzy questions.
And then smiles, "Why is everybody gawking? Is it cause I'm adorable?"
Then Alastor comes up with a smile, "Mimzy!"
"Alastor! Sweetie, Doll-face, So good to see you!" Mimzy says as he walks up to Alastor, "How've you been? Good? Good."
Mimzy and Alastor hug each other.
Then Mimzy says, "Listen, I was in the neighborhood. I heard you were staying at this ritzy slob factory, and I figured I'd stop by, say hi! For old times sake."
"Of course, sweetheart! Everyone is welcome here!" Alastor says.
"Oh, how nice!" Charlie says as she walks over to ask, "So you two know each other?"
"Oh yeah, we go way back, ran in the same circles when we were alive," Mimzy says.
She then says, "You know, this one used to frequent the club where I used to perform. He's the only one I knew who could pound whiskey like a sailor then keep up with me on the dance floor!" And dances a bit.
"Oh, quite a talent, this gal. Ho ho! You should have seen her in her hayday!
"Hey, watch it, tall, dark and creepy! I'm still in my prime!" Mimzy says.
Mimzy spots Lucifer in the open, and is immediately infuriated with the sight of the King of Hell, "Oh, oh my stars!" And let out a gasp, "Is that Lucifer?"
She then pushes Pentious of the way, "Move it!" And walks to Lucifer.
Mimzy then curtsey in respect, "Pleased to meet ya! Your highness."
Then Mimzy whispers to Alastor, "Alastor, you gotta warn a girl when she's in mixed company."
"Charmed, I'm sure," Lucifer says.
"As much as I'd love to catch up, Charlie and I have a tour to continue," Alastor says.
But Lucifer hears this and takes his daughter by the arms before dragging her front, "I'm sure Charlie can handle showing me around."
But then Alastor appears in front of them, "Nonsense!" And grabs Charlie and drags her forward, "We started the hotel together, and we'll show it off together. Right, Charlie?"
Alastor stops dragging Charlie so she can be the one to lead the tour for her father.
"Oh, right," Charlie says.
Then Charlie turns to Blitz, "Hey Blitz, you wanna come with us?"
"Oh um, sure," Blitz says.
Then passes Tilla to Loona, "Loona, can you watch your siblings while I go with the others."
"Sure dad. I'll watch over them," Loona says.
Blitz and Charlie soon take their leave with Vaggie, Lucifer, following from behind.
Alastor turns to Mimzy, "Why don't you let the others help you settle in, and I'll be back before you know it, and takes his leave."
Mimzy turns to the bar, "So, where can a girl get a drink around here?" and walks over to get the drink
Husk however, doesn't seem to like Mimzy's presence. He groans in irritation as he cleans a glass.
Mimzy takes a seat and notices him, "My, my, is that Husker? Alastor still has you slinging hooch for him, I see," She chuckles, "Classic! How ya been, fur ball?"
"Good!" Husk says with a smile, and soon frowns, "Until five minutes ago."
"Oh, don't tell me you're not happy to see me! You might hurt my feelings!" Mimzy says and giggles.
While Husker gets a drink for Mimzy, she turns to Niffty who was looking for the bugs that were scattering on the floor.
Mimzy calls out, "Hey Niffty, whatcha been up to, girlie?"
"Fighting bugs," Niffty answers.
"And uh, how's that going for ya?" Mimzy questions.
Niffty turns to one of the bugs she sees, "They're winning," And then sadistically pulls out a large knife with an insane smile, "But not for long."
"Uh huh…" Mimzy responds.
And soon, she is given a glass by Husk.
Mimzy says, "Thanks, pussy cat!"
"Oh, fuck you," Husk says and walks away.
Soon, Angel and Pentious take up a seat right next to her.
"So uh, you and Alastor are like, what? Friends?" Angel asks.
"Well, that's your word, not mine, but I think it fits," Mimzy says.
But notices the confused expressions, making her ask "Why so surprised?"
"Well, just didn't know he had any of those. He's been here a while and is still a big, creepy mystery. What's his deal?" Angel says.
"We're curious about it ourselves," Loona says.
"I have to agree. Alastor is quite a mystery," Aurora says.
Soon, Mimzy begins to explain, "Well, you probably heard the stories. He appeared in Hell suddenly, making a splash quicker than anyone had ever seen. At first, people wanted to dismiss him. but soon, overlords started going missing, and not small ones neither. We're talking heavy. hitters. No one knew what happened to 'em, until these strange radio broadcasts started going out. All you could hear were screams. Every time an overlord went missing, there'd be a new voice screaming in the broadcast! That's when Alastor revealed himself as the radio demon, and anyone that would mess with him…" and chuckles, "ell, let's just say, his broadcasts never lacked new voices. That's the story most people know, but underneath it all…"
She then smiles, "He's a total sweetie! Put on some jazz and pour a couple fingers of rye and he becomes a kitten!"
Angel, Pentious, Loona, Aurora, and Keenan become spooked by Alastor's dark history in hell while Mimzy doesn't seem bothered by their disturbance. Tilla eyes water and looks like she's about to cry.
"Stop with the looks. He hasn't done any of that in a while," Mimzy says.
She then raises a glass, "Can I get another one of these?"
But notices that Husk is gone, and is annoyed, "Oh what the fuck!"
In the creepy dark hallways, Charlie was showing her father about the interiors of the hotel.
"So, once we have the proof that redemption is possible, this whole hotel will be full of demons wanting to check out into heaven! We just need a little time to prove it. The sharing circles haven't been working as fast as I hoped," Charlie explains.
While Charlie was in the middle of explaining everything to her father, Husk calls his owner from out of nowhere, "Hey, boss. Can I have a word?"
Alastor stops and twists his head 180 degrees to have his face turn to him to ask, "What is it?" before his body rotates.
"You and I both know Mimzy only shows up when she needs something. That bitch is trouble, and who knows what kind of demon she fucked with to come running to you this time?" Husk says.
But Alastor doesn't seem worried, "It's nothing I can't handle. Don't worry Husker. Who in their right mind would cross me?"
"I mean, you've been gone a while, and it's not like anybody knows why," Husk points out.
"They don't need to know," Alator says, before approaching Husk, "and don't you worry your fuzzy head about it," and rubs Husk's ear.
This angers Husk as he growls and pushes Alastor's hand away, "You may own my soul, but I ain't your fucking pet!"
Alastor chuckles, "But you are! Haha!" and turns around to join back with the tour.
Husk growls and whispers, "Big talk for someone who's also on a leash."
Alastor immediately halts after hearing this, his eyes turned into radio dials. The lights in the hallway flickered from his anger rising.
Slowly, Alastor looks over his shoulder to Husk, "Aha, what did you say?"
Before Husk could even respond, a green chain pulls his neck before he's forced down. He realizes what he's done and tries to come up with an excuse.
"Fuck! Nothing! I, uhm…" Husk says, nervously.
Alastor slowly approaches him with the green chain twirling from his mic-stick, threatening Husk, " If you ever say that again, I will tear your soul apart and broadcast your screams for every other disrespectful wretch who dares to question me!" The more he steps closer, the lights flicker on and off from his anger.
Alastor's threat makes Husk shiver in fear when he realizes he has crossed too far with him.
Scared, Husk answers, "Understood."
The lights turn back to normal, and Alastor is back to his old jolly good self, "Lovely," and chuckles, "Good talk, my good man! Always nice to catch up."
Alastor leaves the shaking Husk on the floor. Husk was too scared to even move, and was left shivering in fear.
