10:00 AM. . shortly after episode 4.

Joseph Morningstar arrived outside the door of the Hazbin hotel. Landing directly in front of it.

He got out of the company helicopter and took in the scenery. . Not much around. The hotel looked. . old. Most likely some building their parents had owned and Charlie repurposed. . But he could NOT understand what a pirate ship and a war blimp were doing there.

He signaled his pilot to take off. . The chopper headed back into the sky and back towards the city. . Not planning on a return.

He said, "Well. . place could use PLENTY of construction." He walked forward.

He walked up to the front door. . and knocked. .

Vaggie answered the door.

She saw the tall muscular man with short blonde hair, dressed in a suit and. . Oddly big shoes carrying a briefcase.

She jokingly asked, "Can I help you Terminator?"

Joseph said, "Funny. . Joseph Morningstar. . I'm Charlie's brother, is she here?"

Vaggie froze for a minute. . for exactly two minutes she stood still. . and said nothing. . Surprised and intimidated by this revelation.

Joseph asked, "Uh. . ma'am?"

Vaggie said, "One moment please!" as she quickly shut the door

She couldn't believe it. . THAT was Charlie's brother?!

He didn't look anything like Charlie or Lucifer, mainly because he was taller and very muscular like a beefcake!

What was supposed to be a simple meeting. . Now turned into the most intimidating experience of her life so far. . .

She turned her head towards the staircase and shouted, "Uh Charlie?! Guy at the door! Says he's your brother!"

Charlie rushed down at the speed of LIGHT. .

She and Vaggie opened the door together.

Charlie shouted, "BABY BROTHER!"

Joseph shouted, "Big sister!"

they shared a hug. . one which Charlie was. . clearly comfortable with somehow.

Vaggie thought he'd crush her.

Charlie said, as the hug broke, "It's been MONTHS dude! how have you been?"

Joseph said, "Good. house is fine. business is in full swing, marriages are going good. ." he smart ass smiled, "The kids miss you."

Charlie said, a strong smile on her face, "How are my little nieces and nephews?!"

Joseph chuckled, "All good. . told them you'd come visit when you're not so busy with your hotel business."

Charlie made happy noises, "Thank you."

Charlie LOVED her brother's kids. True there were. . QUITE a few of them. . But she loved them all. . Especially since. .

She'd discussed having children with Vaggie before but. . They decided they'd wanted to get married first. . And after three years of dating, Vaggie STILL wasn't sure she was ready for that level of commitment yet.

Joseph looked around, "So. . it looks like you could use. . a bit of construction work in this place."

Vaggie, nervous for meeting one of Charlie's family for the first time, said, "Uh. . just that. . ceiling over that way. . Sir." she pointed to the hole made by the eggs before.

Joseph said, "Alright. . I'll get to work miss. . " he motioned his hand for Vaggie to introduce herself.

Vaggie thought about it, 'Okay, Vaggie. . be cool. . if you want to marry Charlie someday. . you need to show this. . admittedly intimidating man. . that he can trust you with his sister.'

she tried to introduce herself in a cool collected manner. . only for Charlie to stand in front of her.

Charlie said, "Oh, that's Vaggie. she's my girlfriend." she held Vaggie's hand.

Joseph raised an eyebrow, "Girlfriend?"

Charlie smiled, "Yeah we-"

Joseph said, "Sis. . I love you. . but. . I'd prefer to hear this young lady speak for herself a little."

"Oh, okay. Sure." Charlie said before looking at Vaggie. "Sorry for cutting you off, sweetie. Go right ahead."

Charlie had heard her brother talk to her like that before. . She didn't mean to be rude, she just wanted to brag about her amazing girlfriend.

Joseph ALWAYS did that when he was a kid. Charlie would try to talk about her friends or her (now ex) boyfriend. . And he would ALWAYS say. . he wanted to hear them speak for themselves. . Charlie liked that her brother could listen, and was protective. .

But it's not the place of her baby brother to protect HER. . It should be the other way around.

Vaggie said, "Uh. . okay. . so. . my name is Vaggie. . I'm Charlie's girlfriend and the hotel manager." she reached out a hand, "And it's nice to finally meet one of Charlie's family."

Joseph smiled, "And it's nice to meet the girlfriend that. . Charlie never really told me about."

Vaggie looked at Charlie, "Oh uh. . really?"

She knew Charlie was not all that close with her family. . She barely talked about her dad, her mom's been MIA for seven years. . And this was the first she knew anything about the brother.

But. . . She didn't tell her own brother that. . She has a girlfriend?

She'd have to talk to her about it later

Charlie said, clearly uncomfortable with accusations, "Well I uh. . I. ." she looked around, "Well. . Jojo. . whenever you see beautiful women you uh. . " she made a motion with her hands. . The motion that signifyed sex.

Joseph raised an eyebrow in both irritation and confusion, "And you think I wouldn't control myself. . for the woman my sister is quite obviously in love with?"

"Yes." Charlie said, quickly and bluntly

Joseph said, "Okay. Hurtful but. . I understand your point. She IS beautiful." He sat down, "But I can tell you're in love. . I'm not getting in the way of that."

"You tail promise?" Charlie asked, growing her tail and holding it out.

To the siblings, it was even more sacred than any deal in all of hell.

"I tail promise." Joseph said, growing his tail and "shaking hands" with Charlie's tail.

Vaggie said, "Holy shit."

She'd never seen anything like this before . . From Charlie or. . anybody. . She knew she'd had a tail but. . This was her first time seeing Charlie use it.

Joseph said, "Well. . Tell me about yourself while I work on this hole."

Vaggie made up a story about herself as a sinner. . Joseph? Couldn't believe the story. .

And every time she turned her back to him. . He looked at her back. . Not to stare at her ass (Charlie could do that all she wanted.). . But rather. . He wanted to see if his suspicions about her were true.

He got his tools and worked on the damages. . Due to a/c malfunction he was starting to sweat. . He took his shirt off.

The rest of the hotel residents came down the stairs.

Angel and Nifty looked in awe and lust at the Prince as worked on this hole in the ceiling.

"Hello, handsome." Angel whispered with a grin.

"Muscle boy." Niffty whispered as her eye widened with excitement.

Husk was too damn hungover to care.

Sir pentious was mostly curious. .

And Alastor. . Was a little irritated/threatened.

Charlie said, "This is my brother."

"You have a brother?" Angel asked her.

"Yeah, sorry I didn't mention him but he's pretty well known for his company." Charlie explained.

Husk said, "Yeah. He's the guy on the billboard near the highway to elevator 666." He fell asleep on the couch on the parlor.

Joseph said, "That's me." He continued working.

Sir pentious saluted, "AN HONOR TO MEET YOUR MAJESTY, OH GREAT PRINCE OF HELL!"

Joseph chuckled, "Just Joseph or Joe will do." He sealed the hole in the ceiling.

Angel asked, "So. . Are you. . " He sat on a chair across from the Prince.

Joseph said, "I know who you are porn star. And I know Charlie can redeem you." He got off the ladder and looked at Angel, "I know there is good in you. . And.." he looked at Charlie, "I have faith in my big sister."

Charlie smiled and blushed at her brother's remark.

Angel chuckled, "Maybe but. . while I'm here. . "

Joseph said, holding up a hand, "Sorry, I'm straight."

"SO AM I!" Niffty shouted, rushing to Joseph and balancing on his arm. "Hi, I'm Niffty."

"Well hello, little lady." Joseph said with a charming smile.

Charlie said, in a panicked tone, "Joe, NO! I NEED MY MAID!"

Nifty said, pleading, "I can still work for you while I bang him."

"Oh? You think you can handle me, little lady?" Joseph asked as he kept working.

"Oh I can handle you and so much more, bad boy.~" Niffty said, tracing her finger in his arm.

Vaggie said, "Well. . . We know what her deal is."

Husk said, just barely waking up, "Trust me. . That's not even the start of it." Then passed out again

"Do you think Alastor would be mad about this? Believe it or not, I think Niffty is his closest friend." Charlie said.

Alastor quietly approached from behind Charlie, "Oh not at all. She NEEDS a man."

Everyone but Joseph and Niffty jumped from his sudden appearance.

Joseph said, "I thought I smelled jambalaya and New Orleans shadow crap."He turned from his work and jumped down to the floor, making sure Niffty wasn't hurt as he landed right in front of Alastor.

"The radio demon, as I live and breathe." He said, smiling at Alastor.

"Ah, so you've heard of me." Alastor said with his usual grin.

"Anyone who's anyone has heard of you. Especially since you killed about half my workforce on one of your little temper tantrums before you vanished." Joseph said, glaring with his smile.

Alastor chuckled, "Oh those poor sinners and that imp foreman were your workers?"

Joseph said, a little angry, "Yes. . . You don't KNOW what discomfort is until you have to look an imp's wife in the eye and tell her her husband died on the job."

Alastor said, "I see. . Well. . I suppose you're expecting an apology?"

Joseph said, "No. . Just an explanation on why you're ANYWHERE near my sister."

Charlie glanced between them with a nervous expression.

'Why did this have to happen like this?!' Charlie thought with a gulp.

"Well, you see Mr. Joseph, Charlie and I are business partners, you see." Alastor said.

"WHAT?! YOU MADE A DEAL WITH THIS GUY, CHARLIE?!" Joseph shouted in shock.

Charlie said, "No! No deals! He just. . Offered to help. . And I ordered him to stay and help."

Joseph asked, "And he just. . TOOK orders?"

That. . Didn't sound like Alastor. . At least not from the reputation he'd heard.

Alastor chuckled, "Well. . I simply needed something to entertain myself, and your sister offered."

Joseph groaned, "I see. . Well. . Keep it that way."

"You can trust, Mr. Alastor! He's nicer than her looks!" Niffty said innocently.

"…I'll believe that when I see it." Joseph replied.

Alastor said, "Good to meet you. . Your highness." He was smiling. . But everyone could tell he wasn't happy.

Joseph said, "You as well. . Radio fucker." Before getting back to work

Charlie had never heard her brother call anyone that before. . But then again. . Things had changed.

Vaggie said, "So. . Charlie told us so little about. ." She looked down, "You."

She looked at his feet. . He'd been sweating so much. . He'd taken off his shoes.

Nifty held her nose, "MUST CLEAN!"

Joseph sighed, "Of course."

Vaggie said, "You. ."

Joseph rolled his eyes, "Yeah. I know. You weren't expecting bear paws."

Unlike Charlie, who had goat hooves for feet, Joseph had bear paws for feet.

"That is an interesting choice in footwear." Alastor comments.

"Not footwear, chump. These are my real feet." Joseph said as Niffty rushed over with a small mop.

Charlie said, "One night Mom let her shapeshifting get out of control and uh. . Yeah."

Joseph shrugged, "Besides. . I've been walking on these things since I learned how to walk. So. . Go ahead. Make whatever jokes you want."

Alastor chuckled, "Just you wait, Prince."

Oh the dad jokes Alastor could make because of this

Vaggie said, "So uh. . Like I said. . Charlie doesn't talk about you very much."

Joseph said, "I'm not surprised. . After Mom and Dad split. . We. . Kinda drifted." His eyes went down when he mentioned his parents

Charlie looked down, "After they did. . JoJo here finished high school. . And moved out to Luciville. Started his own business and. . I stayed here with Mom and. . . Occasionally she'd go visit him. . I was the maid of honor at his weddings."

Angel asked, having eavesdropped, "Weddings? As in .. more than one?"

"Yes. Didn't you know you can have more than one husband or wife in hell? I have several." Joseph said as Niffty froze for a moment.

"Several?" She asked.

"How many ya got?!" Angel asked in shock.

He showed them his right hand.

Four wedding rings on his hand. . And one engagement ring on his thumb

Charlie asked, "Who's the new one?"

Joseph chuckled, "My secretary. The one YOU introduced me to. Elaine."

"ELAINE?! OH MY GOSH!" Charlie shouted, holding her face in excitement.

Joseph chuckled

"Yeah, she's a great secretary and a great woman." He said with a smile.

Vaggie asked, "Elaine? The same Elaine that you said worked for you for a couple weeks."

Charlie said, "The same. She IS great."

Angel asked, "So. . You married five chicks at once?"

Joseph nodded, "And had kids with each one. . And Always looking for more."

"Really?" Niffty asked with a wide grin.

"Don't make me spray bottle you, Nif." Husk said, actually smelling how horny Niffty was right now.

Joseph said, "Really. ." He finished his work, "Okay. That's one fixed up hole in your ceiling."

Charlie sighed, "Thanks Jojo. I owe you."

Joseph chuckled, "You can owe me. . By letting me get to know this girlfriend of yours."

Charlie gave him a bland look as her eyes turned red and moved in front of Vaggie.

"Mine." Charlie said with authority.

"Again, not like that, Charlie! I meant get to know her as a friend." Joseph said with a groan.

'Charlie was never this protective over her last boyfriend, asshole or not.' Joseph thought.

Charlie said, "Hm!"

Vaggie chuckled, "The three of us can do something together. . Maybe go to. . "

She tried to think of something. .

"Maybe go to the. . Spa or something?"

Joseph shrugged, "Yeah. Dad owns a spa in Luciville. I head there pretty often with one of my wives."

"Really? You got to spas?" Husk asked.

"There's nothing wrong with a man enjoying a spa day." Joseph said.

Angel said, "Agreed."

Nifty asked, "So. . Does your wife like. . Force you to go or. ."

Joseph said, "No. We just like going together."

Charlie asked, "Will she meet us there?"

Joseph said, "Maybe. . If you want to bring anyone else you can bring whoever you want. . Just let me tell Helsa about it first."

Charlie sighed, "Of course. Forgot about her for a sec."

"Helsa? As in "the sister of your ex boyfriend and rival" Helsa? She's one of your wives?" Vaggie asked in surprise.

"Damn. This is a real "Romeo and Juliet" kind of situation." Angel whispered to Husk.

Joseph said, ". . . Her brother got killed in the annual extermination. . Was in the wrong place at the wrong time. . We met up shortly after. . I . . Saw her crying and. . Asked how I could help her."

Charlie said, "And. . You had sex with her."

Joseph smiled, "after one whole month spending time with her. . Yes. . Her, my first wife and I. . Fucked. I knocked her up. . And she became my second wife."

"And she surprisingly became a better person from it. It still shocks me to this day." Charlie said.

Joseph said, "Yeah yeah."

Vaggie said, "So. . . We'll have Alastor watch the place while we head to the spa."

Angel asked, "You uh. . . Mind if I go with? Val let me have a week off to-"

Charlie said, "You may come with us. . . You and Joseph will be in the same changing room. . But sucking his dick is out of the question."

"Rats." Angel said, snapping his fingers.

"Again, married and straight. Suddenly become a woman, then you MIGHT have a chance." Joseph said.

Angel said, "I seen demon magic do weirder shit."

And with that. . they'd have a plan for tomorrow
