Gaining the Extra Hazbin Help
"Vaggie, please. I really want to help Princess Charlie with her hotel." Carmilla said, though a little half true.
"The only reason you would even come here is if this was one of Clara's crazy ideas." Vaggie pointed at Clara who is whistling innocently.
"Vaggie, come on. If they want to help, then let them. We could use all the help we can get." Charlie said, knowing that Vaggie would listen to her the most which she reluctantly agrees.
"Now, as you for, Alastor. Why?" Charlie asked the Radio Demon of his reason for coming here.
"Hahaha, why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades. My work became mundane, lacking focus, aimless! I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Hahaha!" Alastor explained and even shoved Vaggie away into Odette.
"Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment...?"
"It was pretty cool that you even ripped off one of her spider legs." Clara commented.
"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." Alastor grinned.
"Of course, still saying that same thing as you said it before." Carmilla rolled her eyes, seeing that Alastor is still the same Sinner as he has always been even before he disappeared seven years ago.
"So, does this mean you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?" Charlie asked.
But then Alastor just let out a mocking laugh and shaking his hand in front of Charlie.
"I'm afraid that Alastor isn't here for that, Charile. Nor does he care for redemption as he believes to be nothing to him." Carmilla explained.
"She's right. That's wacky nonsense! Oh, the non-existent humanity!" Alastor chuckled as he finished laughing.
"No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners! The chance given was the life they lived before; the punishment is this! There is no undoing what is done!" Alastor gestured to the window showing the Hell city they live in.
Alastor also gestured to the Sinners such as Vaggie and the Carmine daughters who were offended by that, and Angel just shrugs as he didn't care about redemption much either.
"So, then. Why do you wanna help me if you don't believe in my cause?" Charlie asked in confusion.
"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!" Alastor explained with a dark grin.
"I figured as much." Carmilla pulled Charlie away from him.
"But I will make sure you don't cause any suffering to them." Carmilla stated with a glare.
"But of course, I am here to enjoy watching them suffer with the failure of redemption." Alastor smiled.
"Yes, indeedy! I see big things coming your way and who better to help you than the two of us?!" Alastor dragged Charlie and Carmilla away.
Vaggie and the Carmine daughters watches them leave with Odette deciding to speak up.
"Vaggie, I know you're still mad at mother about what happened, but you have to know that she really misses you." Odette said.
"I'm sure she does." Vaggie crossed her arms.
"She does, she's just stubborn on how to admit it like what you're doing right now." Clara pointed out.
"Well, she's not making herself better when the Radio Demon came in." Vaggie said.
"Hey, we didn't bring him here. He just showed up at the same time we came here." Clara stated.
"Yeah, speaking of him… What's the deal with Smiles over there?" Angel Dust asked, having no clue on who this Alastor guy is.
"Are you fucking serious right now?" Clara asked as she and the others were surprised to hear that.
"You've never heard of him before? You've been here longer than me!" Vaggie said, Angel Dust just shrugs.
"The Radio Demon is one of the most powerful Overlords in Hell, an Overlord just like one of the Vees you're contracted with." Odette mentioned.
"I might've heard one or two things about your big momma, but other than that... Eh, not big on politics." Angel Dust said.
"Do you want us to tell them, or you'll tell him?" Odette asked Vaggie on who's going to tell him about Alastor the Radio Demon.
"It's fine, I'll tell him." Vaggie said.
"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!" Vaggie explained about the powerful, dangerous dark force that is Alastor.
Clara and Odette are hugging onto each other, being scared of the story.
"Ya done?" Angel Dust asked, unfazed by the scary story.
"He looks like a strawberry pimp." Angel Dust laughed as he looks at Alastor.
"Well, I don't trust him!" Vaggie glared at the red smiling demon.
"Neither do we." Clara and Odette said at the same time.
"Mom never trusted Alastor, knowing that the red bastard always has some big plan that would benefit for him to gain something for himself." Odette explained on how her mother feels about Alastor.
"To be fair, do you trust any man? Any men? Men?" Angel Dust asked with a small grin.
Clara and Odette look at Vaggie giving her the look that says the question of why this porn star is even here in the first place.
"Charlie found himself wondering for out sex job. I didn't want to start off with that guy, but she believes him to be good deep down, even if he is a damn pervert." Vaggie explained.
"I was promised free room." Angel Dust mentioned.
Vaggie just glares at the porn star as she wonders to herself on why she let Charlie pick this guy to be our first patient for the redemption project.
Vaggie walks over to Charlie to make sure she is careful with Alastor.
"Charlie, listen to me. You can't believe this creep! He isn't just a happy face! He's a dealmaker! Pure evil! He can't be redeemed! ...And is most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do!" Vaggie pointed out.
"Honestly, I'd rather only have Her to help us when including Alastor here." Vaggie gestured to her former mother.
"I fear that Alastor won't be told to leave even if we do, I know him too well to that." Carmilla mentioned.
"Look, I know where you two are going with. I know he's bad, and I know he probably doesn't wanna change, but the whole point of this is to give people a chance!" Charlie said as she looks at Alastor.
Alastor is looking at the family portrait of Charlie with both of her parents.
"To have faith things will be better! How can I turn someone away? I can't. It goes against everything I'm trying to do. Everything I believe in. Just... trust me. I can take care of myself!" Charlite assured that she can handle it.
"Just be Muy cuidadosa, Charlie. IF you make a deal with him, then there's no going back." Carmilla warned, looking over at Alastor's hand.
"Don't worry, I picked up one thing from my dad! "You don't take shit from other demons!"" Charlie said while imitating her dad's voice and walking over to Alastor.
"She seems a little braver than I remember." Carmilla commented.
"That's how determine Charlie is." Vaggie sighed.
"Glad to see you're still with her for this." Carmilla said, Vaggie just looks away not wanting to make eye contact.
Vaggie doesn't want to say it out loud, but she still remembers the day she announced about her and Charlie started dating and Carmilla approving their love for each other.
"Okay, so, Al. You're sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here as a joke." Charlie said. She turned around for a second that Alastor grins widely with red symbols appearing, but they disappear when she turns to face him again.
"But I don't. I think everyone deserves a chance to prove they can be better. So, I'm taking your offer to help. On the condition that there be no... tricks or voodoo strings attached." Charlie stated the term for her to accept Alastor for help along with Carmilla.
"So, it's a deal, then?" Alastor held out his hand as glows of green demonic burst throughout the lobby.
This got Vaggie and Carmilla very worried now that Alastor has presented himself to strike a deal with Charlie, if that were to happen then Alastor might end up gaining more than they realize.
But luckily, Charlie smacks the hand away as she refuses to make a deal.
"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." Charlie declared using her royal status.
Charlie looks over to Vaggie who gave her an approval face and Carmilla nods.
And a howling wolf sound can be heard for some reason.
"Is there a wolf nearby?" Clara asked Angel Dust who just shrug.
"Sound fair?" Charlie asked if that's okay with Alastor.
"Hmm... Fair enough!" Alastor decided to accept it.
"Cool beans." Charlie signed in relief.
"It's official, we'll be working together on helping you with this project. Even if we must work with "Him" of all people." Carmilla glared at Alastor.
"Come now, I promise to behave for the princess's sake to get my entertainment." Alastor said.
"Just make sure you don't do anything to my daughters." Carmilla threatened with a fierce glare.
"Of course, the last thing I want to do is be harm by one of your many weapons made from angelic steel that permanently end a soul whose already dead." Alastor chuckled but knows very well not to cross with Carmilla Carmina and what she's capable of with those weapons.
"If I recall, these two work for your company, right?" Alastor asked even though he already knows the answer.
"Yeah, what about it?" Clara asked back.
"Just wondering where the hotel staff are?" Alastor asked.
"Uh, well…" Charlie felt embarrassed to admit that she doesn't have any staff besides Vaggie as manager.
"Seriously? You've been working on this project of yours and you haven't even gotten any workers for the place?" Clara asked, rising an eyebrow.
"We… haven't gotten around for that." Charlie admitted, pressing her fingers together.
"Ohohoho, looks like someone has bitten off more than she can chew." Alastor chuckled.
"And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?" Alastor asked as he walks up to Angel Dust.
"I can suck your dick!" Angel Dust grinned.
"Somehow, I knew he would say that." Odette said.
Alastor only stare at Angel Dust for one second to process what just happened and laugh.
"No." Alastor turned Angel Dust's approach.
"Your loss." Angel Dust scoffed.
"Clara and I can help out; we can do finance and inventory check whenever we're not working at mom's company." Odette offered.
"That's fair since Carmilla is also offering to help the hotel." Charlie agreed.
"Still, we're going to need some more help to run this hotel." Carmilla said.
"I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up." Alastor said before he snapped his fingers to use his power to replace the old worn-down fireplace with a new one.
Alastor walks over to the new fireplace and places his hand into the fire, not hurt from it, and picks up a strange black figure thing as it opens its one eye looking at everyone behind him. The figure proof off the soot from the body showing her true appearance.
"This little darling is Niffty!" Alastor introduced his little helper as he drops her to the floor.
"Hi, I'm Niffty! It's nice to meet you!" Niffty greeted, unfazed by the drop.
Niffty is a small, cyclops demon with pointed limbs, white skin, and one large eye. Her eye sports a light-yellow iris, thick eyelashes, a hot-pink sclera with a yellow gradient, and a large pie eye-cut pupil. Her red-pink hair is kept into a slightly messy bob cut with a curl on each side, and a single light-yellow streak located at the top. Her mouth has sharp light pale-yellow teeth inside and black lips, and small hot-pink dots on each of the corners. She wears a black neckerchief around her neck, and a 1950s red-pink maid dress under a white apron with three hot-pink dripping splotches. She also wears long black gloves which cover most of her hands and arms, along with matching-colored tights.
"It's been a while since I've made new friends!" Niffty looked at everyone with her one eye.
"I wonder if they even stick around?" Odette asked, feeling a bit scared of this little cyclops.
"Why're you all women? Are there any men here?!" Niffty asked as she easily lifts Charlie to look for any men, Vaggie pointed her spear the little girl while everyone backed away.
"I'm sorry, that's rude." Niffty apologized as she put Charlie down.
"Oooh, man! This place is filthy! It really needs a lady's touch! Which is weird because you're all ladies, no offense. Oh, my gosh! This is awful! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!" Niffty started dusting with her feather duster and speeds around to dust the webs off and stabbed a cockroach with a sewing needle.
"Guess you're lucky she won't feel whatever man part you have left from you." Clara whispered to Angel Dust who just glares at her.
"What's next? A gambling, flying pussycat?" Odette asked sarcastically.
Suddenly a new voice came into the hotel as they look over to see a new set changing into a bar with a literal cat man with wings at a table throwing down some cards.
"Hah! Read 'em and weep, boys! Full Ho—" The cat man was freaked out when everything around him changed into a new place.
"-tel? What the fuck is this?" The cat man asked until he spotted Alastor and became angry. "You!"
"Ah, Husker, my good friend! Glad you could make it!" Alastor greeted with a hand on the cat man's shoulder.
"Husker?" Carmilla was shocked to see that cat man, recognizing that Sinner.
"Don't you "Husker" me, you son of a bitch! I was about to win the whole damn pot!" The cat man named Husker complained as he gestures the jackpot that is disappearing.
Husker is an anthropomorphic avian cat demon. His look is evocative of a magician, paired with a casino referencing playing card theme. The sclera of his eyes are black, with light yellow irises and slit pupils. He has large and lengthy, red feather-like eyebrows with black vertical stripes near the tips, and a small black heart above each eyebrow. His fur is a dark taupe, overlayed with white on his face, torso, feet, and upper arms. The insides of his ears are white with a red tip at the point and red heart in the center. A black tuff of fluff protrudes from each, creating the appearance of small hearts. He has a darker shade of his fur encircling his ankles, mimicking cuffs on a set of pants. His tail is long and dark taupe-colored, ending with a large spray of plume-like feathers which are vivid-red with black and white stripes. He has heart-shaped, light-yellow paw-pads underneath the paws on his hands and feet. He wears simple, minimal clothing, which consists of a black top hat with a red band and a gold button-like decoration, a red bowtie around his neck, and a set of black trousers which are held by black suspenders over his shoulders.
"Good to see you too!" Alastor said, not caring about the cat man being angry at him.
"Well, what do you know. You got the gambling, flying cat man." Clara chuckled.
"I wasn't being serious at all…" Odette was shocked that actually happened.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Charlie has accepted Alastor to help run the hotel though hopefully there won't be any trouble with Carmilla there, and the Radio Demon have brought in two Sinners who are under contract with him to add some extra help to the hotel.
