#angels making fun of Al- Al is VERY annoyed- and husk just loves that Al is suffering

[moraent-keys]

I know this is really late but-

A bunch of asexual headcanons for national asexuality day!

Ignore that Alastor is just straight up canon

Closeups

[cryinhell]

so no one asked for this, but here's a post about my favorite Hazbin Hotel ships ( romantic and platonic) and what I hope they explore with them in the show.

1) Huskerdust/Angelhusk/Casino Hearts (Romantic)

Obviously, I got to start with my favorite romantic pairing in the fandom. Angel and Husk are my favorite characters in the HelluvaVerse, and both mean a lot to me. They are both old men born around the same time with a lot in common, and I know they would be close buds. From everything we have gotten in canon( fake instagrams which are not canon but in character, the fun hunicast streams, viv admitting to shipping them and allowing huskerdust into the merch, the fact that Husk was made to be Angel's bestie, and a lot of unnecessary information I know lmao, I do not doubt these two will be canon. I can't wait to see their friendship grow and all the trials and tribulations they will go through to become better for themselves and each other. And hopefully, the fun shenanigans that they do because I love me some shenanigans.

2) RadioHusk (Platonic)

Okay, so Husk's relationships with everyone interests me, but this one is probably the most after AngelHusk. It's clear these two have a past and that Alastor is comfortable enough with Husk to be incredibly annoying around him. Alastor is Husk's boss and most likely owns his soul, but there's also a strange bond between them I really want explored. I think Al loves Husk in a platonic and weird way because he's most likely his best friend, but Alastor may not be able to always express this normally. Husk is a good guy and a bit complacent, so he just deals with this shitheads nonsense and doesn't seem to fear him. Maybe there's some fucked up things between them and maybe their friendships has cons and pros. I'm not entirely sure, but I can't wait to find out

3) Angel and Vaggie (Platonic)

Okay, most of these are platonic ships, but whatever friendships are important. I love these two judgemental assholes and the way they judge people together. It truly is gay and lesbian solidarity, heh. They are gonna be the best of frienemies, and I can't wait for their relationship to be explored.

4) Voxval (Romantic)

Okay, I hate these bastards with a burning passion, but that doesn't mean their relationship does not interest me. Vox, Val, and Velvette are going to be the main villains of Hazbin Hotel, and without knowing too much about them, I'm excited. I want to know how Val and Vox are going to be as a couple. Since the instagram accounts are not canon, it is hard to tell if Val will be abusive or not. This is a possibility since the accounts seemed to be in character, but I want a different approach. I think it would be interesting for these two to genuinely love and respect each other and no one else. To see themselves as the true rightful kings of Hell and work together to destroy and belittle whoever they deem below them. It's an interesting dynamic that I prefer more than just "Val is abusive to poor baby Vox" cause Vox is also evil, and I want him to do evil shit.

5) Chaggie (Romantic)

There's not much to say about these two. I just think they are cute, and I want to see more of them.

6) The Hazbin Gang (Platonic)

And lastly, I can't wait to see how all of these fuckers get along and interact. As a group, I'm sure they will be very entertaining and I will enjoy every minute of it. Also, I am including Pentious because I know he's part of the main cast now, and I love that. Can't wait for these idiots to try and make this hotel work and hopefully grow together in the process.

[a-big-mess-of-a-person]

HELLUVA BOSS + HAZBIN HOTAL HEADCANONSSSS!!!

Ok, to preface, this is all my opinion!

Who would be friends?

AngelDust and Fizzarolli, great friends. Besties. 10/10 friendship levels. My favorite idea ever. They would be great friends.

Blitzø and Nifty, Blitz likes how ruthless and bloodthirsty she is. He would offer her to work for I.M.P. 8/10 friendship levels

Blitzø and AngelDust, ok, hear me out. They are both pretty kinky motherfuckers and I think they could bond (not like that you weirdo) over that. 6/10 friendship levels

M&M and Charlie, again hear me out. All of them are silly little guys who would have fun sticking it to the angels. 8/10 friendship levels

Adam and Crimson, I don't like this, and I think Crimson would obviously get annoyed with Adam, but also see how valuable his power is, therefore her would put up with it. 2/10 friendship levels

Husk and Loona, I don't think they would be like, besties, but I think they would have a mutual respect for the other. 5/10 friendship levels

Sir Pentious and Millie, idk, they give friend vibes. I think they would get along. 4/10 friendship levels

Cherri and Blitz, love for blood death, drinking, very similar interests, I think they could be friends. 6/10 friendship levels

Lucifer and Blitz. I'm going to be honest. Blitz would probably want to fuck him. 8/10 friendship levels.

Stolas and Charlie, both very kind, both very musical. 7/10 friendship levels

Alastor and Blitz. They want to watch the world burnt in their own special ways. 5/10 friendship levels

Alastor and Asmodeus, I feel like Al would say something that makes Asmodeus laugh. 6/10 friendship levels

Rosie and Moxxie, I just get those vibes. Consult for yourself! 7/10 friendship levels

I'm tired of typing rn, but I will add friend groups later

Scrambled Eggs review

We get to see the Hotel crew interacting without Alastor for a change, while Alastor meets up with some old pals when babysitting the Eggs.

There are Razzle and Dazzle, I was wondering where they were after the first episode.

With this being Hell, Pentious’ paranoia and want to defend himself must be common with the people. Maybe if there were less demons with asshole or perverted personalities we’d see that. Plus if this continues HH and HB is going to become like Family Guy and depend on that kind of stuff for every joke.

We finally got a name for the scientist from the pilot, Odette.

Carmilla Carmine, an Overlord centered on weapons. Her introduction could lead to some interesting fights.

Vaggie is kind of right, just because someone flips you off, doesn’t mean they want you dead. Niffty on the other hand is someone you should always worry about as she will likely want to do more than murder you.

It’s another example of how we wouldn’t have gotten the storyline if it happened, but I’m surprised Charlie or Vaggie (mostly Charlie) didn’t bring up the idea of having the Eggs join as part of the Hotel’s staff. They look like they could try and aid in cleaning and repair.

I also do like that Charlie didn’t, as so far I’ve seen a lot of examples where Vaggie sacrifices more in the relationship, so I’m counting this as an example of Charlie taking Vaggie’s word/side.

They made the famous Alastor pic of him eating deer into an animation!

BTW with his room being part swamp and the writer’s love of making memes, how long before we get a Kermit the Frog joke from this? If the writers ever decide to do that, they should get YouTuber DevilArtemis to help since he knows a lot about Kermit :)

Another change in Al’s voice when he said “that’s a lot less fun”. Now thinking back to the last episode, Vox had something similar going on with his voice so maybe it’s a common trait for sinners like them but I feel like that is a too simple reason for Alastor of all characters.

Another example of Charlie’s reality altering illusions. Did I ever mention who I think she could fight in an episode of Death Battle?

Is Vaggie afraid to lead people? It is an interesting idea but we have seen her doing just that before, though I guess those previous time could be considered “angry outburst/feelings”. I am one of the people who thinks Vaggie is a former Exorcist and if there is the slightest chance that is true, I could see this being a reason why she left. A bit off topic but going back to something I said in my Overture review, this also would have worked for the alternate idea of how it was common for Heaven losing Exorcist every year till now, as maybe they “lost” some because they quit during/after Exterminations.

Technically Husk did catch Angel, so there is trust their but annoy him and he’ll stop helping.

IDK how to describe it, but its nice seeing the fun art style that Angel and Cherri were drawn as in the pilot return for Angel, Husk, and Pentious here.

With the situation you and Hell are in Charlie, any progress should be considered good.

So that guy’s name is Zestial Modre. You think he talks that way because he is chronologically very old, or just for effect as I’m guessing he’s the Overlord of Fear? You think DC Comics/Warner Bros. would be okay with Vivzie if she gave Zestial a power similar to Scarecrow’s fear gas or have his full demon form look similar to Parallax, the emotional entity of Fear? Viv worked with Disney for a bit, so I bet Warner Bros. would be okay if it meant getting one over their rival company.

If you turn on subtitles, one of the Egg Bois is named Frank. I recall it being said that the Eggs are cloned from an original Egg, so could Frank be said original?

Sure Al, nothing suspicious happened during your break.

Not even the Eggs know about the name thing.

An Overlord meeting! 

I recall Zilla being tall, but not THAT tall. Also does any still ship her with that guy she was seen with in the pilot, the one who was laughing at Charlie and said they should leave?

Nearly everyone in Hell has sharped teeth, so how is Rosie any different Frank?

Apparently the VA of Carmilla is also a dancer, fitting given how Carmilla looks like a ballerina. Also as LK Yusei Fudo would say, “what is up with her hair”?

“Older generation vs. never generation” trope. How long before Velvette makes a “okay boomer” joke?

The Exorcist severed head! Didn’t see that coming! 

Now apparently there are theories of Lilith being disguised as Rosie, which I could see, but I do want to point out that she was shocked at the severed Exorcist head. Lilith seems like a kind of actor, so she could have acted being surprised but it’s still something that should be pointed out.

Looks like Zestial agrees with me that it’s possible that something else could have killed the Exorcist. Also that it sounds like he IS very old, maybe even older than Sir Pentious.

I’m wondering if this scene could help later on if there is a future scene where people blame Charlie for moving up the next Extermination, but then Alastor and maybe the other Overlords defend her by revealing the severed head. If it means preventing Charlie from having a “all is hopeless” scene then I hope it does.

It is interesting that the sinners are divided about if they should use the knowledge of knowing Exorcist could be killed to fight back or wait till they either learn more or to not risk having the whole Pride Ring population be wiped out. Both sides make sense but also have their flaws.

Looks like Angel and Cherri have some competition with Zestial and Carmilla for the title of number 1 BFFS.

“Respectless” is my favorite HH song so far. Really love how it switches between opera music and rap.

HOLY CRAP ODETTE AND CARMILLA ARE RELATED!!! THIS is going to be fun and lead to some interesting discussions, like is she (and the other girl Odette is always with) adopted or did Carmilla and the others die and get sent to Hell around the same time?

Again I get that this is an M rated show, but the series is already good enough that I don’t think it always need to rely on extreme violence and NSFW stuff, as it kind of killed the mood after seeing what happened in the next see. Again, Family Guy.

WHY! 

Another example of why the “Vaggie is a former Exorcist” theory could be true.

I bet Vaggie has been dreaming about thrown Angel to his doom XD.

Liking how Charlie said there are other ways to solve things, going back to an older comment about her and Lilith having different views of how to make Hell thrive.

I’m going to count this as Charlie and Vaggie’s first fight, but at least it’s a good one since its just Vaggie being mad at herself of her lack of leadership and Charlie being mad (more annoyed/concerned) of Vaggie unnecessarily blaming herself.

Confirmation that the other girl (named Clara) is also Carmilla’s daughter.

So Carmilla killed the exorcist. OR MAYBE she witnessed who really did and had to promise to not tell or else something bad would really happen to the point being the fall gal would be a slap on the wrist in comparison.

With Carmilla being against fighting Heaven, I wonder if she could become a potential Hell based ally of Charlie’s in the future. They both want to protect the people they care about from Heaven so I don’t see why not.

Vaggie’s line of “There’s so much I wished that I could say”, is ANOTHER possible hint at Vaggie’s Exorcist past.

Another great song, showing how similar Carmilla and Vaggie are, which again could help in making a future alliance between the Hotel and Overlord.

Yeah I shouldn’t be surprised that Alastor is going to keep the Exorcist info hidden, since he loves chaos. Also a possible an ally of that Roo character, who is on my list of possible characters being behind everything.

Again, Charlie and Vaggie are cute!

It’s adorable to see Pen sleep with the eggs like an actual snake.

SEE! THE EGGS CAN LEARN!

“character not realizing the dumb/innocent/etc. character is actually talking about something real and big to the story” trope.

I’m late bringing this up, but does anyone else think there should be end credit segments at the end of SOME episodes? I mean thanks to movies and videogames it is a surprise when there aren’t any, plus it would have been fun in some cases. Maybe they’ll do one for the season finale.

That was great episode! We got Overlords, great songs, hilarity, and some big reveals.

I really like the idea of Carmilla being a mother, as it adds more to the “always serious businesswoman” vibe she gives off. I’m also hoping it leads to pics where her daughters spend time with their “Uncle Zestial”. Speaking of which, he was a good new character to look about, reminds me a lot of Jack Skellington with a pinch of DC’s Scarecrow with his interest in fear.

We also got news about the dead Exorcist and while I’m okay if Carmilla did kill it with a weapon, I still like the idea of how she is taking the blame or else she will suffer by the hands of the true culprit. It also brings up the drama as the Vs could make this worse for everyone if they decide to get people to fight the Exorcist. At least if they do and fail, Charlie will no longer be the target of the sinner’s anger.

Nothing that bad besides that one creepy NSFW scene as it was annoying that it happened after a pretty big scene.Leave your thoughts about the episode below.

Tony and Valentine

I did this drawing of my switch and swap au bars off of this photo from addicted ( obviously there are going to be differences with posing and stuff because it was just the inspiration. Also I changed up the car’s look but I’m really not on the mood to do good backgrounds so this is what you’re getting . I’m sorry lol) :

Anyway. I guess I’ll take a bit more about this au. First of all we will talk about how Tony (Angel ) is in this au:

• Tong is more of a mental abuser than a physical one. Angel doesn’t like hitting people but he will yell at them hard core.

•When Tony is physically in punishment he lets someone else do it mostly in the form of drowning.

• Tony and Valentino fight a lot but Tony tries to restrain himself.

•Tony doesn’t do anything to do with SA personally at least but if he sees someone else do it to Valentino he will just turn and walk away not doing anything about it.

•Tony sometimes preforms as Angel Dust when he is bored

•Tony’s “Vox” is Husk and but the difference is that they are actually dating. (which I’m actually annoyed that Vox and Valentino aren’t technically dating in the show but.. it’s fine this is why we have fandom 🥲. At least there is still VoxVal content in the show though. )

Now for Valentino-

•Valentino goes by Valentine on stage. Angel thought it was uncreative but didn’t care enough to make him change it.

• Valentino lost his wings to Nifty when he messed up on of her outfits on accident. Angel did comfort him after but ultimately didn’t really care.

• Valentino’s love interest is Vox. ( because if we went by the actual way it was it would be Val x Mimzy which would be… uh… no. Also this does not mean I Ship Angel With Alastor in the original. I’m aroace myself and personally I don’t ship Alastor with anyone. Even though aroace Is a spectrum in my personal opinion it doesn’t seem like Alastor has any interest but that’s just my opinion . Either way I don’t mind people shipping anyone except when it’s a literally illegal ship or just plain wrong. )

•Also just a note in general I didn’t change anyone’s sexuality’s even though it’s a swap au. Because I feel like I’m swap au’s they should still have their own personalities in many ways. As well as important elements of who they are. )

•Valentino leans more into his fun and dumb side in this world but Valentino is still very much a narcissist and he will in every situation find a way to argue with Tony.

•Valentino gets angry a lot .

That’s all I have for now but If you have any questions or any questions for me or the characters in the switch and swap au you can ask in my Al’s box. Also for people who have done any Asks for Hazbin they are in the works.and for the creepypasta ones I have the sketches done it is just a matter of doing them digitally *

Hazbin Episode 1 Liveblog

In order to avoid this post getting Way Too Long, I'm going to make one post for episode one, and one for episode two!

I will say, I'm kinda sad we don't have a 'proper' theme song/intro, just the little jingle :( I do get it, but ah well.

Oh my god the commercial is even better in full.

How the fuck did he get Charlie to keep the name if it was still him???

Al's so fucking offended they're making him use a camera he made it one giant middle finger. I love it.

The voices are definitely going to take a bit of adjustment. It's probably because I've rewatched the pilot a zillion times, though.

I like how Alastor didn't even look at Angel. "Never going to happen!"

Awww, Charlie's ringtone for her dad is cute.

I DO really love Keith David as Husk right away, he suits the role perfectly.

"I like being forced!" and I love you, you weird little gremlin. Hoping for some good CNC stuff with her now, tbh. She'd be fun for it.

The flat delivery of 'crack is expensive' made me wheeze out loud.

Aaaa and here we go, full animation for Happy Day!

Why... why is the 'shoving barbed wire in your hole' guy an imp. Is that, like, his job or something. Is he just an asshole?

Ooooo, that was VAGGIE singing the 'bloodthirsty and deranged?' line? More fodder for her being a fallen angel/exterminator.

'Helluva post' for the mail. Ha.

This just made me fully realize how much the cannibal colony probably considers the post-extermination like a feast day.

Awww, the music note background is a fun touch.

Something about the fact that the 'touch my parts!' guy is a completely shapeless slug-creature instead of just keeping the dick offscreen makes it funnier.

Oh, I love Adam. The fun kind of punchable prick.

The animation seems a bit... overacted? I've noticed it all along but with Vaggie in the scene where she talks about making a new commercial especially. It sort of felt like they wanted to match the pilot's very snappy energy but weren't quite sure how, so everybody makes kind of... aimless motioning instead of moving with purpose, if it makes sense? It feels more like 'moving body parts for the sake of moving things' over 'moving with intent'. It's sort of awkward and distracting. The shifting proportions don't really help, but I just know people are going to be Fucking Annoying about that when it's unfortunately part of the package of making a whole season at once by a regular animation studio.

Oh yeah, Blake's perfect for Angel, lmao. It was more of a change than I expected from the few lines we'd gotten since they sounded more like the original, but he's got the energy.

Charlie didn't know Adam ran the angel army? That seems like the kind of thing she should have known. I wonder if she was relatively sheltered growing up.

'Call me dickmaster' why do I get the feeling the Chaz fans will like him, lmfao.

Since I'm on Adam though, another little groan to myself about the lack of fat characters in the hellaverse that aren't either gross stereotypes or background characters. Adam falls into the misogynist type, (like, the 'redditor', you know the one, just sort of mixed with a sleazy rockstar) Mammon's literally Greed and a talentless abuser, the lady at the pound was gross/uncaring and ugly, and I still think the Nurse was the only one that really broke the pattern and I've seen approximately one piece of fanart or mention of her ever (despite her clearly-developed positive relationship with Barbie!) and it was porn. I'm allowed to bitch on this after people were so fucking annoying about how wanting Bee to be fat was wanting her to be a 'gross ugly blob' and then saying other people were being fatphobic for pointing out everybody's skinny. Somehow. Anyway.

Well, at least they got the vagina joke out of the way early.

I love how his deal isn't for anything that would genuinely screw Vaggie over, he's just pissed they want him to deal with TV.

The fact that the pilot's still 'soft canon' makes sense with how Angel just immediately starts admiring his new clothes without any surprise, since it's happened before. Also, Niffty with the Marilyn pose is cute.

Oh, I'm definitely going to like Lute. I still like my idea she used to be close to Vaggie but when Vaggie was cast down, she stuck tighter to the rules.

Adam's song is fun!

So season 1 takes place over the course of six months? Huh. I'm guessing we'll have some time skips if we only have eight episodes.

I wonder what the Heaven Embassy is for? I can't imagine it's only for meetings like that considering there's couches in the lobby and stuff. Can sinners communicate with loved ones in heaven or vice versa, maybe, just using the holograms?

Oh my god the Katie voice IS basically just Brandon's Bryce voice. Amazing.

Ohoooo? VERY curious who managed to pull off killing an exterminator, and 'can't let them catch on'... hmm.

[angelfire115]

Such a surprise

It was an important day, a day to remember. It was Charlie's birthday, her 50th century one as well. It was pretty unbelievable for her that she's lived so long. Her parents promised to throw an amazing ball every century to celebrate the life she's lived and today was that day. Everyone was coming, her friends and family were all gonna be there. And all sorts of important people from all across hell. Other nobles and even a few overlords were going to go.

She was a little nervous, she had always been excited for her grand birthday ball but since her Happy Hotel announcement, she wondered if anyone outside her circle was even going to show up. Even if the king and queen invited them, would they want to see the disappointing princess of hell? She didn't even want to think about her seeing her father again. She was looking forward to a great time and seeing her mother but still, she couldn't help but be on edge.

During the drive there, Charlie sat with a nervous look on her features. Tapping her feet on the floor and playing with a ribbon attached to her golden dress, she fiddled and twitched, imagining all kinds of events that could all lead to disaster. Vaggie, her best friend, noticed her behavior and moved to her side. Placing her hands on both her shoulders, massaged them a bit to get her to relax. Vaggie: "Come on Charlie, it will be fine, you'll be okay, I promise".

Charlie looked up to her friend and smiled sweetly, Vaggie was always there to help and was glad she was always by her side. They've been friends for years and its been fun. Angel dust sat on the other side of the limousine, all dolled up himself. With that large poofy wig that sat snuggly on him and his long shiny dark pink dress with a slit on his right leg, plus all the make up, his poofy chest and wonderfully made nails. No one that's ever heard or met him could even guess he was a male.

With one last look on his small mirror he brang, he turned his attention back to the other two. He may have looked like he wasn't paying attention but somehow he was. Angel Dust: "Come one Char, you freak out too much, this is your birthday party you only have once a century, you gotta enjoy it". He was somehow being supportive, at least in a good enough mood to be helpful.

Angel dust: "Anyway, this might be a good opportunity to score yourself a man, someone that can even help you boost your hotel with their money, its how I get by". Charlie rolled her eyes and went back to pouting as Vaggie glared down Angel. Charlie: "I'm not using someone for their money Angel, anyway, I'm not really interested in relationships right now, I'll just have fun and get through the day". Vaggie smiled and gave her friend a side hug. Vaggie: "That's the spirit".

She may have calmed down on the ride thanks mainly Vaggie with some help from Angel but when she reached the building with the ball, her nerves started to build once more. There were a lot of people at the front, so many it was hard to see the front door. It was a surprise too, why would anyone want to be here? Was it because of free food or was it Charlie's parents? Could be any of those reasons but at least there were people to make the place complete. Not that, that was any more reassuring.

The place did look amazing especially on the inside. Chandeliers, large white and clean tables, decorations and lights filled the ceilings and a large beautiful sign saying "Charlotte Magne Birthday Ball" hanged up under a porch area where her parents were to make the announcements and speeches. The food especially was amazing, all her favorites on every one of them.

When she walked down the stairs is when everyone looked up, quieting the room. She looked around, now more nervous as she saw all the eyes eyeing her, judging her. She smiled to everyone brightly, a sort of greeting she was able to give on the spot. But everyone just went back to talking. Making it back down the stairs with a nervous sigh, she immediately ran into Niffty and Husk.

Niffty: "Oh Ms Charlie so glad you're here you look wonderful love the bow do you want me to get you a drink? Or food? Whichever one oh Alastor is over there with Lady Rose if you want to find him me and Husk are just gonna get a drink see ya later". And just like that, Niffty took off with Husk following behind. She always did that, speaking without taking a breath and not letting anyone say a word.

But it was noted where Alastor was. It wouldn't be hard to notice him since he's red and tall and she spotted him immediately. She felt a jolt of excitement, the more she coild stick around her friends, the more comfortable she could be. Followed by Vaggie and Angel dust, they were able to traverse the crowd of demons to reach the other two which were Lady Rosie and Alastor.

Charlie: "Al! Hey, glad you could make it". Alastor turned his attention to the call of his nickname and was able to catch the girl before she almost fell. Alastor: "Hello Charlie, glad to be here, thank you for inviting ma and dear Rosie here". Charlie turned and smiled to Rosie, Alastors friend and companion. She smiled her own toothy smile. Rosie: "You are such a sweetheart Charlie, I was surprised you invited me". Charlie: "Well, Al speaks about you often so I thought it would be nice to meet you and besides, any friend of Als' or any of the others are always welcome".

Rosie smiled a face of interest. Rosie: "Al hmm, how adorable, she gave you a nickname". Alastor smiled more as well, amused by it. Alastor: "Yes, she is a sweetheart". Charlie giggled herself, she always found it amusing of the nicknames people have her so she always tried her own nicknames as well.

The sudden sound of a microphone tuning, silenced the room. Up on a small stage under the balcony stood a tall slim insect demon wearing a long black dress. Announcer: "Hello everyone, I would like to announce the arrival of the king and queen of hell, who have a few words to say, please give a hand to the grand rulers of hell". Loud applause filled the room as both rulers of hell parted the curtains and walked forward on the balcony. As they arrived, everyone, except Charlie, bowed in respect to their majesties.

Lilith: "Thank you all for attending my beautiful daughters birthday, today is her 50th century birthday, a day I always can't wait to celebrate". Lilith's seductive voice sent shivers down nearly every males spine who were too weak to resist. Charlie looked up to Alastor who stood with a wide smile, seemingly unfazed. Charlie: *Typical*. Charlie couldn't help but silently giggle on how hardy Al is in ladies beauty.

Lilith backed away to allow her husband to speak next. Seeing her father sent her own shivers. Their last conversation didn't really end well, even thinking about it made her boil with anger and great sadness. Lucifer: "It is quite an exciting time, my daughter growing more great every day, well, without further adieu, let the event begin".

With that, grand music Charlie enjoyed sometimes, played through the hidden speakers. A floorr was cleared for those to dance. During that time, Vaggie and Angel mysteriously disappeared. Rosie also took off, from what Charlie heard, she went to go use the ladies room or something. Now Charlie and Alastor stood together, kind of alone. Charlie so badly wanted to talk, but something was stopping her and she didn't know what.

As for Al, he also stayed silent, not really moving at all or blinking. Charlie thought she may as well break through whatever kind of hesitation she was feeling. ??: "Well well well, its been a while Charlotte, how have you been?". A voice Charlie recognized spoke behind her. Absolute dread fueled her heart and soul as she slowly turned to face the one person she hoped to never see in her eternal life.

A grueling smile she always dread greeted her as she met face to face with Harold Von Eldritch, her ex. Charlie: "I've been great, Harold, how about you?". Harold smiled crudely as he met her eyes. Harold: "Likewise, wow, its been so long, you're still beautiful as ever". With an elongated finger, he slowly and gently stroked her cheek. The sensation made her sick as she tried not to cringe or flinch. Harold: "How about this, since we haven't spoken in so long, why don't we have a dance?".

Propping himself all gentlemen like, he hwld out his hand for her to take. Before she could refuse his offer and make up and excuse, a hand with very long nails grabbed her shoulder. Alastor: "Sorry dear fellow but me and Charlie here were about to go to the dance floor ourselves, so if you'll excuse us, shall we dear?". Her savior appeared in the form of red. Alastor finally speaking up, held out his own hand for her to take. Charlie smiled thankfully and took it, waving goodbye to Harold as she continued to the dance floor with Alastor.

Charlie: "Thanks for that Al, I didn't know how much I could take talking to him". Making it to the dance floor, they both swayed and danced with the music. Alastor: "Tis no problem my dear, I can't handle that pompous talker either". Charlie rolled her eyes, slightly laughing at his way of saying that. Charlie: "This coming from the king of pompous talking".

Alastor: "Hahaha, oh no my dear, my talking is way more defined then his". Charlie: "So you admit it then, that you are a pompous talker". Alastor: "I didn't say that". Charlie laughed and so did Alastor. They're laughter caught the attention of Angel and Vaggie who were gettimg drinks. Angel dust: "Well well, not what I expected, I did tell her to get a man but I didn't think that one. Kinda fits though if ya think about it". Vaggie became more tense, she never have and never will trust him, ever. And seeing him with Charlie made her blood boil. She just wished Charlie could see the danger.

Vaggie: "There is no way they are becoming a thing". Angel Dust: "You sure? Cause I think she's smiling her face off with all the laughing she's doing". Vaggie: "Uugh!". Too annoyed to deal with anything else, Vaggie moved away to somewhere she could relax. Meanwhile, both Charlie and Alastor continued their dance. Charlie: "Hey Al? How are you a good dancer?". Alastor: "Lots of practice dear". Charlie: "Really?". Alastor stayed quiet for a while, only following the song with a sway. But after that moment he stopped and placed his hands on Charlies shoulders.

Alastor: "My dear, how about we move to the balcony? There I will tell you my secret". Charlie: "Oh?". Guided by his hand, he lead her to the balcony area, alone. While they traversed the crowd, Angel spotted them leaving while drinking a martini. Angel dust: "And where are you two going?". When they made out, the warm air fueled by the burning lava from below was a sort of refreshing feeling compared to the air con filled ball room.

Charlie stretched her limbs, satisfied by the chamge of air. Charlie: "So what are we doing out here?". Alastor, walked to the balcony, leaning against it with Charlie following his lead. Alastor: "Well, you wanted to know hiw I can dance, right?". Charlie looked surprised, he was willing to tell her? Charlie: "Uh okay, how?". Alastor: "Well, my mother, she taught me. When I was young I wanted to go to a dance at my school, but I didn't know how to dance, my lovely mother taught me how to, it was simple at first, but after a while she taught me more. More of the difficult kind of dances, it was enjoyable, ever since then, I've loved dancing".

Charlie listened to his story carefully, she found it amazing and beautiful his story was. Charlie: "Your mother must have been amazing". Alastor stared off, in the blur of the moment of thinking of his mother, he changed to a gentle look Charlie thought she'd never see, from him especially. Seeing that sent something down her spine and shot her heart, nothing she would ever expect to feel in so long or so strong. Charlie: "Alastor". Alastor turned to Charlie, his gentleman expression gone in an instamce but Charlies' deep feeling still stayed.

Alastor leaning in his palm now, stared at Charlie with lowered eyes. Charlie coudnt help but stare back. Alastor: "Yes my dear?". Without thinking, Charlie leaned up and kissed him, right on his lips. The action of it, making his eyes shoot wide open, more open then he probably ever has done in his life. Charlie retracted slowly, her eyes low as she savoured the feeling. She didn't realize what she'd done till she looked back up at Al. Charlie: "I-I, Oh my god I, uh, um, Al,I I". She stammered on her words but it was clear she had no way of getting out of it so easily.

Her only choice was to abort so she left the situation, running back inside, leaving Al to contemplate on his own. Her face turning red, she stopped at the door to the balcony trying to hide her embarrassment. Angel dust, appeared from nowhere, mixing around a glass of wine. Angel dust: "Well, that went well how ya doin princess?". Charlie couldn't speak, only squeal in embarrassment which was a clear message to Angel.

Angel dust: "Alright alright, no need to get your panty in a twist, its ya birthday, come on lets get that red face sorted before you attract a crowd". Both started heading their way to the bathroom. Alastor however, calmly watched over the lava pools that swirled in the area. Alastor: "Hehe". Covering his own face, Alastor built up a red of his own. He was glad no one was on the balcony, he wouldnt want anyone to see it or at least get blood all over his nice suit. Wouldn't suit the eyes for the lovely princess Charlie. Alastor: "Oh Charlie, you are simply a mystery, having caused such reactions from me is unheard of but, still, I look forward to what you can surprise me with next."

Charlastor week: last day (I think)

•Under The Red Sky•

Chapter 2. Arrangements

About and hour and a half had past since Alastor handed out the phone books. Charlie called many somewhat suitable places to host a dance but everyone she called declined and mocked her over the phone. At some point Alastors nerves were tested by this disrespect. He found it annoying that no one gave her a chance but then again he didn't really believe her either. All he was there for was a good time, something to soothe his boredom and maybe something extra only if it turns out demons can be rehabilitated. Alastor was snapped out of his thoughts when Husk piped up over at the bar.

"Ugh why are we even doing this no one cares about a stupid dance unless theirs drugs, alcohol or money involved." Husk grumbled.

Just then Nifty jumped up from where she was sitting and smacked Husk lightly. "STOP It! that's not the spirit besides i know someone we can call."

Charlie's attention was definitely grabbed by this, "Who is it?"

"Well she's a friend of Alastors they're quite close so i think she'll be able to hook us up huh Ally!" Nifty rejoiced as she jumped up and down and zoomed around Alastor.

Als smile stretch as he tried to hold back laughter. "Pffft... HAHAHAhah that's a good one you little devil you, there's no way in hell-

"Uhhuh, uhuh, uhhh oh okay so in three days you'll have a place for us? Great! Alastor sends his regards. Thank you!" Charlie ended the call as quickly as Nifty cut Alastor off. "So in three days she'll have a room open for us to host the dance."

"Wha-but wait how- did you- well that's perplexing." Alastor thought to himself, Rosie would never let the princess anywhere near her business. Why in the world would she ever say yes?

"I can't believe you knew someone and you didn't tell me?" Charlie asked as she crossed her arms and he expression turned sad for a moment.

A radio crack came through not before Al shook his head, "No no my dear Rosie can be tough to negotiate with she's not one to accept an offer from such a.. um well undesirable place such as this hotel."

Charlie openeded her mouth to say something but Angel got to it first, "So this means we're gonna need beverages right? WELL i'm off to get alcohol byeee!!!" Angel blurted out as he got up and sped out the door.

"HEY ANGEL NO ALCOHOL YOu idiot!!" Vaggie sighed as she muttered that she'll get him and with that she ran out the door after Angel.

"Ugh" Charlie grumbled as she pinched the space between her eyes just above her nose. "Okay well i guess i'll find a way to get the snacks an-"

"Oh no no no dear that won't be necessary, i'm sure i can find a way to get us something up to Rosies taste." Al said as he pondered how he could get something for the party without needlessly paying for it.

"Wait are you sure i can help you out i am the one hosting the party." Charlie offered with a smug smile.

"Ah i think you mean co hosting i am your business partner after all. No but it won't be needed my darling you can go off and tend to other needs while i take care of it." Al noticed her face soften it made a little radio static crackle through as his smile widened. "Anyways i'll see what i can do my dear." He said as he spun to the door.

Charlie smiled fondly as she watched him exit the hotel. It was confusing why he wanted to help but she deeply appreciated the little things he did just for the hotel and supposedly for his entertainment. She shook her head, "I might as well pick something out to wear."

Vaggie went running down the sidewalk after Angel, "Hey shitlord stop for a goddamn second!"

"Oh so you did follow me then huh?" Angel said as he turned around and stopped with a big smile on his face.

"Yeah ofcourse i- wait did you run out just to get me to follow you?" Vaggie asked out of breath as she caught up to him.

"Well yes and no i did wanna go and gets some booze ya know for ma own purposes but i wanted to talk to you about something." Angel continued as they walked down the street towards the liquor store.

"And what's that." Vaggie said while crossing her arms thinking he was about to make a sex joke or something.

"What do you think similes' game is at the hotel?" He asked with a genuine face of somewhat concern.

Vaggie was surprised by this her eyes widened, she didn't think anyone was suspicious of him other than her. "Honestly i don't know, it could be anything. To tarnash the hotel, to make fun of us, or maybe something even worse."

"What could he do if this whole uh rehabilitation thing were true- well um i mean since it is true." Angel stuttered watching what he said to not upset Vaggie.

Vaggie furrowed her brow in annoyance, "An overlord is hard to read especially the radio demon himself is a whole other story. I know for one thing there's no way he could just be here because he's bored." She said as she bent her fingers into air quotes.

"Idk this place gives me a laugh sometimes! HA" Angel laughed as Vaggie punched him hard in the arm.

Back at the hotel Charlie was deciding what she was gonna wear and what the theme should be. Obviously she decided for it to be Classy since Rosie is an overlord and they tend to have pretty high standards. A tux might be too casual for her since she wears one everyday pretty much, a dress would probably empress and give her a little bit more respect if she can turn heads for a good reason.

Charlie reached into the back of her closet for the dress she wore for her family portrait about a 100 or so years ago. Upon pulling it out a little bit of dust smoked off of it so she patted it down all while coughing. "This should do!" Charlie said with a smile as she went to go change into it.

Once Alastor was out the door he used his shadow ability to pretty much teleport himself directly to Rosies emporium recently was Franklin and Rosie but shamefully the cleansing took Franklin with many other sinful demons. Rosies business is more of like a fashion business her entire building is like one big store with the exception of a ware house with a run way to promote her new designs and outfits she has to sell. Rosie was a type of demon that loves luxury. Her soothing voice with a devilish white sharp smile and sense of fashion says it all.

Alastor teleported to Rosies room within the building. Rosie seemed to have expected him as she was sitting in a velvet chair in the corner of the room with a large smile present on her face. The lights were off which made the void that was her eyes seem even more absent.

"So my dear Rosie why did you accept the damsels cry?" Alastor asked as he spun his radio staff and tapped it on the ground. "Not up to anything devious now are we?" He said truly curious as to why she'd let anyone she didn't know near her business.

"What me oh no no that couldn't ever be me, i just want the publicity. Business honey that's all i need from this." Rosie laughed as she stood and gazed out her window towards the hotel across town. "I mean i have a front row seat, isn't that what you're doing there sugar." Rosie questioned with a smug face.

A crackle sifted through the air as Alastor spoke, "Perhaps my dear but this endeavor has turned out to be quite fun on the contrary, why i've never had this many laughs just watching the sad sap of a hotel crumble." An audio track laugh played behind his voice as he spoke but speaking badly upon charlie's hotel for someone reason made him feel uncomfortable.

Rosie chuckled, "No no i mean what do you really want, i know you Alastor and you never do anything without a reason or" she paused, "for mere boredom Ha." She turned from the window to face him, her shadow casting on his face as she stepped closer to him. "I know you already have a devilish plan brewing inside that head of yours."

Alastor stared at her with his wide smile, "Well if you so much desire to know i suppose i'll tell you."

Rosie leaned forward eager to hear what he was going to dish out.

"Only after the party just to make sure you'll stick to your word Rosie dear." Alastor mused as his crooked smile grew. Rosie laughed in response to this.

"You always were one to see a deal through. Oh and did that princess make a deal with you yet?" Rosie asked as Alastor went to turn around.

"No i'm afraid she's a lot smarter than i thought she's impressed me what can i say Rosie." Al smiled at the thought of how happy Charlie will be to host the party. A charming demon belle she is. "Anyways i best be on my way now i promised Charlie that i'd find a way to get her food for the party and-"

"Oh don't worry sugar i'll have it catered just for you and it'll be up to my taste." Rosie said with a little smirk upon her face as she laughed at the idea of non expensive foods being at the dance. "Consider this as you owe me one, fair enough Ally?"

Alastor furrowed his brow in annoyance he hated her little nickname she gave him Al was far better in his opinion. "Hmm lets make it a deal then." Al said as he leaned forward and extended his arm out to Rosie the green glow illuminating the room and wind seemingly gushing from its illumination. "And don't call me Ally, please." he said with a wide grin.

Rosie smiled softly as she took his hand and gently shook it. The green glow disappeared upon the shake a spark of green electricity swirled and then dissipated into thin air. "Pleasure doing business with you."

"The pleasures mine now if you'll excuse me the misses are expecting me." Al joked but Rosie didn't laugh she just smiled a knowing smile as he teleported back to the hotels front door.

"Hmm he seems a bit off" Rosie thought as she watched him disappear.

Alastor returned back to the hotel in what seemed like minutes though he didn't turn up with anything which may be a surprise to Charlie. But thanks to his shadow he can pretty much cross all the corners of hell in a mere minute at his fastest. This is probably what made him such a good hunter, stealthy and fast just like when he was still among the living he was very cunning. Al rembered his living life for a moment before the thought of the princess creeped into his head. He shook his old memories away and went on his way looking for Charlie.

"Charlie? Oh charlie?!" Al shouted as he crossed the main area of the hotel. "Hmm where has she gone to?" He thought to himself as he made his way up the stairs.

At the hotel everyone has their own room even Alastor has a room. Charlie set it up since she considered him a patron since he did approach her first after all and she found him quite enjoyable to have around. However Al hasn't slept over night in that room once, he has his own place across town so he doesn't see the need. But still the thought is what mattered the most to him, a symbol of their friendship so far and her trust to let an overlord like him sleep over in the same building as her. It made him laugh how naive she was but how nice she was.. she gives anyone a chance. Al smiled fondly at this thought and stopped in his tracks, a little crackle bliped through him. A sigh escaped him as he used his shadow to teleport to the top floor, better to not exhaust any energy.

Charlie's room which was at the top of the hotel, had a balcony and the best view of hell from what he's seen from the outside of the hotel. Al creeped up to the door, it was slightly open, he was about ready to knock but something caught his eye. He peered through the small crack to see golden locks held together by barb wire and a flowy skirt flowed beneath the hair. Al was dead silent as he watched her turn to face the mirror in front of her, giving him a better view of what she looked like from the front. Her skirt had overall straps over her shoulders and begin just below her chest. She wore a white and decorative long sleeve blouse underneath the black skirt. Her legs being the most noticeable, peered out from under the skirt at about knee length. Al was mesmerized by this show of beauty, he had no idea the princess could look so elegant.

Alastors arm was suspended in time hovering just beside the door ready to knock but something kept him from doing so. As he watched the princess more he grew more and more entranced by her flowy movements as she spun and danced in front of the mirror. She looked so happy. Just then radio blips and cracks disrupted the silence the static was somewhat musical and loud. The interferance he can't really control he never understood them but simply they're just attached to his feelings. Something Al could never come to realize or understand on his own.

Charlie(POV) stood in front of her mirror happy with how her old outfit looked. She gave herself a little spin just to see her skirt frilly up and then fall back down. She was even impressed with herself and how she did on her hair, she perfectly recreated the look she made for her old family portrait. Suddenly chills ran up Charlie's spine as loud radio cracks and static came from the door to her room.

"Shit, shit, shit turn off dammit!" Al whispered to himself and fumbled with his staff trying to make the noise shut off. The static lessened and quieted down a little bit the princess already heard him for sure. Al sighed away all his embarrassment still bearing a smile as he knocked on the door. "Charlie, it's me you're business partner! I'm back from my trip my dear!"

There was a pause before the door opened slowly and out peered Charlie's head around the corner. He face covered in a blush and it wasn't just her naturally pink cheeks giving off that affect. "Um how long were you standing there?" She asked as she averted her eyes from him.

"I-" Al stood with his eyes wide open, normally invading privacy was one of his strong suits but for some reason he felt bad for watching her without Charlie knowing. So he did the only thing he could think of. He lied pretty much. "Oh no don't worry darling i just got here." He reassured her.

Her face cleared as she let out a relaxed sigh and opened the door fully to reveal her whole outfit up close. Alastor stared at her for what seemed like an eternity before she got nervous again and looked away.

Charlie brushed a little strand of blond hair out of her face as she spoke. "So um, Al you know Rosie the best is this something that might impress."

Al stood still, still in a daze before slowly opening his mouth to deliver what he had to say. "Oh no it won't impress Rosie hardly any, she's one of the top fashion demons out there, I mean the stuff she wears is top notch!"

To this the lights in charlie's eyes dimmed as her smile turned into a frown. A crackle of static was heard, with something different happening this time it.. hurt? It pained him to see her frown.

"Uh no my dear i.. No i-i didn't mean it like that i-" Al stuttered, he didn't know what to say he humbled his words trying to say something to make her frown go away.

Charlie looked up and met his gaze not before turning away and putting her hand on the door. "No it's okay Al i don't expect to impress such a high and mighty demon anyway. It was worth a shot i guess."

The door slowly moved to shut but Al stuck his foot in between the door and the wall stopping it from closing. "Wait Charlie."

Charlie's head lifted quickly to see Al with what looked like a look of concern told only by his eye brows since all he ever did was smile but even that too looked stressed.

"If i must add.. I think you look wonderful and absolutely stinky. For what it's worth you've impressed me my dear and besides you're never fully dressed without a smile." Al spoke softly as the words left his mouth. Charlie was shocked by the sound of his voice, no radio filtered over it, it was clear and smoothe. She looked up at him and slowly her smile grew before she decided to make a daring move. She held out her hand like she was pressing it up against a flat wall.

Al looked at her perplexed before she took his hand and placed it flat against hers and then wrapped her thumb around his hand and his around her hand. "I know you don't liked to be touched so i'll give you a hug this way."

Alastor was at a complete loss for words, his hand touching hers gave him a sick feeling to his stomach like his guts were about to crawl out of his skin. Her hand was so soft and smooth he almost didn't wanna let go, it was warm to the touch and comforting to say the least. His normal radio static was gone and instead a song from the thirty's filtered in and began to play. Al noticed right away and reluctantly swooped his hand away from hers consequently stopping the music with a what sounded like a record scratch.

Charlie noticed his sudden movement and gave him a free exit ticket fearing she over stepped. "Oh i'm so sorry, i um guess you should probably inform the others to dress classy for this event." She said with a soft yet nervous smile.

Al gratefully took this offer and waved her goodbye before exiting her room and pretty much instantly teleporting to his room at the hotel. The moment he got inside he sat on the velvet red bed, the room came with, with a flop. "What in the world just happened?" Al asked to himself outloud.

His little radio staff responded back to him only with the same song that Al cut off earlier. The thirties love song type of music.

"Oh please i don't need a dance party at the moment. I don't understand did she use some sort of demonic power on me back there or what?!" Al debated deeply, no way as far as he can tell he's much stronger than that charming demoness he'd be able to sense it.

His staff rolloed its single eye, "You know for and overlord you're quite oblivious! Hah" A laugh track crackled through, it's gonna take a lot for Al to figure it out.

part 1 part 3

[bytemycupcakes]

Hey if it's ok by you. can you make a headcanon of sir pentious join the Happy Hotel?... i just want to know what happens

Oooo it could be fun-

Written after: I do apologise that there isn’t much- But it’s all I could really think of

~~

-Okay assuming Pentious will recognize Angel from the pilots turf war: He and Angel are gonna be at eachothers throats

-In a really weird way- Pentious is gonna want to fight him, but Angel’s gonna flirt- Alot. Thus Pentious always gets flustered, and Angel’s life is saved.

-So is Charlie’s stress- She can’t handle everyone wanting to fight.

-He is kissing Alastors ass at any given opportunity. Alastor despises this, pushing him away with his mic, or even having Husk get in between them

-Pentious can’t help it- Al’s one of the big guys. The guys Pentious wants to be a part of!! Of course he’s gonna be trying to get on Alastor’s good side.

-I’d imagine he would join after everyone else- It’d be an interesting thing to get used to for everyone. Just having 9 of them was strange enough- but now there’s Pentious… And all the Egg boys

-The Egg boys will lay/sleep anywhere and everywhere in the hotel, taller members are tripping over them, Niffty’s found dozens of them in the vents, and they keep messing up Baxters experiments.

-Charlie has to tell Pentious to either keep the Egg boys in his room, or cut down their numbers.

-Well.. Pentious can’t really cut down their numbers.. They’ll just keep coming back- So he does his best to keep them in his room.

-It doesn’t work to well- but there’s less Egg boys sleeping in the halls so thats good.

-Overall I think Pentious would probably hover around Charlie for a while at first. He’s supposed to be getting redeemed by her so- I suppose his logic is sound.

-Charlie.. Honestly gets a bit annoyed that Pentious is always around- So she points him in the direction of Baxter. A scientist and inventor should get along well, right? Right???

-Right indeed. They get along pretty well- Maybe too well. Near immediately they start planning some sort of.. thing-

-None of the other hotel members see them for days

-By the time they leave Baxters lab, turns out they made a fully functional freeze-ray.

-Baxter mentioned Pentious isn’t allowed to touch it, The hotel assumes something must’ve happened to result in that, and don’t press it

-The hotel gains many ice sculptures thanks to the Egg boys, which make lovely targets.

-Pentious isn’t allowed to touch it because when he did, he froze one of Baxters arms… Which is why they were gone for so long- Trying to figure out how to reverse it.

-Charlie now has a freeze-ray (with a reversal switch) to freeze Hotel members if they do something wrong

-Baxter and Pentious thought this would be a lovely gift for Charlie- Though… Charlie is just very disturbed… It sits untouched in her office, she’s considered putting it behind some kind of lock so the hotel members cant touch it.

Good Evening Ch3 (Breaking News)

AO3 Link Summary: Angelo reads over his texts with Smiles, while pissing off an old flame of his; Vaggie learns of the Al’s radio career, and a surprising new guest has come into the hotel. Words: 1,891 Sorry for the wait. I’m really enjoying making this story! It’s a lot of fun to write. Also, Niffty’s and Pentious’ human design is also by @hanekdraws ~~~ Angel Dust had a pretty long talk for over three hours with Al before passing out last night. He was reading over his messages, ignoring Cherri arguing with her stick-in-the-mud roommate, and yawning as he did so, due to the lack of sleep.

Angelo: That’s pretty fucking rude to demand something like that. Need to watch your mouth.

Smiles: Sorry about that. I just get a little irked when one thinks they can try and second-guess my decisions. Whatever I say is final. Besides, I see nothing wrong with bringing you all food. Think of it as a way of saying thank you.

Angelo: Thank you for…?

Smiles: Getting such a bonding opportunity with you all! Hiding a body does strengthen friendships, after all.

Angelo: Bold of you to assume that I care about the other two broads.

Smiles: Odd that you don’t, especially that golden-haired doll.

Angelo: Ain’t like I asked for their help.

Smiles: …You may have been the one to end up being buried alive if they didn’t come for you.

Angelo: Wait. Alive?

Smiles: Well, not anymore and I suppose alive isn’t the right word, more like conscious. …Buried isn’t the right word either. Anywho, how are you doing?

Angelo: Wouldn’t you like to know?

Smiles: Yes, I think that’s why I asked.

Smiles: My lovely ethel has fallen asleep it seems!

Angelo had to look up what “ethel” meant, making sure that it wasn’t any kind of slur that he didn’t know about. Apparently, it meant an effeminate male….yeah, alright, he’ll take that. Better than other words that he could have used like- “Downright, good for nothing, heathen!” Yeah, that was one.

Angelo put away his phone and looked up to see a well-dressed man, who had long greyish-black hair and looked as if he was wearing really dark eye shadow. The younger man laid out on the couch in a very sensual manner, making sure the sweater was hiked up to show his underwear, and he grinned, “Hey there, Penny~ How’re ya doin’?”

The man narrowed his eyes at him, straightening out his red waistcoat, and huffed, “Well, I was doing fine, until I saw vermin within my household. What is this ladylike chap doing here, despite him clearly not living here?”

Cherri came in, practically dragging her feet, and let out an annoyed groan, “He needed a place to crash Pen-”

The Brit waggled a finger in front of her face and corrected, “Ah, ah, ah! That’s Sir Pentious to you!”

She blinked up at him and then continued, “He needed a place to crash, Pen. What else do you expect me to do? Let him sleep out in the streets?”

“Doesn’t he live with that dishy bloke? Vallery or whatever?” He asked as he walked past Angelo and ignored the other sticking up his middle finger at him.

The spunky girl shrugged as she flopped onto the couch nearby Angelo and shrugged, “Yeah, so? He wanted to sleep here.”

Pentious went to the kitchen and told her, “Well, he is no longer asleep, yes? Good. Get out.”

Before Cherri could say anything, Angelo slid off of the couch, fixing up the sweater he had on. He then sauntered over to Pentious and leaned on the counter, smirking, “C’mon, babe, no need ta be rude. If ya want me ta work, I got plenty of ways ta make money, while also keepin’ ya happy~ If ya get what I mean~~”

Pentious blinked at him and then shrugged as if it were obvious, “Well, of course, you making money would make me happy. I told you that.”

“No, Pen, I meant… other ways~” He winked at Pen to drive home his point, even licking his lips. The older man just stared at him, clearly not understanding what he was talking about at all, and Angelo just deflated at seeing him be innocent. He heard Cherri give a loud snort in the back and he lightly glared at her. Angelo turned back to Pen and sighed, “Look, I got some problems and I just can’t return back ta Val, okay? So, just deal with me for a bit. I can make it worth your while~”

Pentious grabbed a kitchen knife from nearby to cut up some potatoes and said, “Get out.”

“Come on, Pen, don’t be a-” he got cut off as a knife was held to his face and quickly switched up, “Yep. Hear ya loud and clear. ”

He then started walking towards the door, saying, “I gotta get ta my job anyway, so…it ain’t got anything ta do with that lame-ass scare tactic.”

Pentious just mumbled about how he didn’t believe him for a second, while Cherri seemed somewhat curious about his job. ~~~ A relatively short woman stood outside the doors of the hotel and she rocked a bit on the heels of her black and white shoes, pulling the lapels of her coat together as the cold caused her to shiver and turn her naturally tan cheeks a tinge of red. It was somewhat early as she pulled out her phone to see that the time read 7 am. She always arrived pretty early before the hotel opened, not being able to contain a bit of her excitement. “Niffty! What are you doing? You didn’t have to wait outside!”

Niffty turned towards the voice and grinned at seeing Vaggie getting closer with keys in hand. The smaller girl danced a bit in place as she giggled, “Don’t worry, Vaggie! I’m okay with a bit of cold! I’m a strong girl,“ she flexed her arms to show a small amount of muscle hidden and continued, "Besides, I gotta be here early enough to make breakfast for the residences and to be able to hear my favorite station!!”

The dark-skinned girl nodded and chuckled at her excitement as she unlocked the door. The moment that it was open, Niffty practically zipped into the hotel, started fluffing up pillows on couches, and got rid of any visible bit of trash on tables or on the floor. Vaggie looked over at the front desk, giving a small groan at seeing an “Out to lunch” sign. She walked over to it and placed it down, going behind the desk to see when or if Husk clocked out.

The silver haired girl removed her coat and pulled up her sweater, hiding some hickies, as she typed on the computer. She then jumped at hearing loud radio static, then quickly glared at Niffty, who gave her an apologetic smile. She turned the dial for a few seconds and a pretty familiar voice, “Good morning, folks! What a wonderfully, chilly day and with quite a chilling announcement. We’ve received a report that the unknown serial killer has struck again! Two missing person reports have been announced of a 20 year old Olivia Brown and well-known adult video director Valentino. Both people went missing around midnight and there hasn’t been any recent news of their current whereabouts.”

Niffty seemed interested, while Vaggie looked as if she had about 20 heart attacks all at once. She looked down at Niffty and questioned, “Hey, uh, wh-who exactly is hosting th-this station?” 

The small woman answered, keeping her eyes on the radio, “His name is Alastor! Apparently, he’s visiting Eden! Not sure when though. Isn’t that exciting? A celebrity in our city!”

“Yeah…exciting…” Vaggie muttered as she listened to the radio. Alastor continued speaking, “There have been no eye witness reports and the last Olivia Brown was seen was heading off to The Alibi Room around 9:30, while Valentino left with another wrapped around his arm at an unknown time. The cheeky devil~ Updates will continue throughout the day as more information comes in. However, let’s move on to much brighter news: Eden! A lovely city that’s governed by the Magne family!”

Vaggie just started to ignore what was going on, feeling her heart hammering in her chest. She felt a little worried at him mentioning Valentino and wondered if he was going to mention anything about meeting them. Even with the announcement past, she still thought that he would say something. Maybe pin it on them? Why not? It sure as hell would make for an interesting story and he’d probably get tons of viewers, especially knowing that the mayor’s daughter is involved! No! Worse! Charlie delivered the killing blow! “Hey, are you okay? You look a little pale.”

Vaggie glanced back at Niffty, who was lightly gripping at her long skirt, showing that she was nervous and concerned. She sighed and gave a small nod, “Y-Yeah, I’m fine…guess I missed breakfast, you know?”

Niffty hummed as she took the wireless radio and smiled, “I’ll make you something quick to eat, while making food for the guests! Be right back!” Before she could say anything to the small girl, Niffty zipped into the kitchen and turned up the volume a bit on the radio. Vaggie tried to breathe deeply and not think about how fucked up this all was. 

She looked up when she heard a ding at the door and greeted, “Hello, welcome to the Happy Hotel! How ma-”

“Vaggie….I heard the radio,” she looked up and saw Charlie, who looked very exhausted and had leaves in her hair, as well as twigs. Vaggie asked her, getting out from behind the front desk, “Charlie, what happened? Why are there twigs in your hair?”

Charlie sat down on a couch nearby, while Vaggie began to take the small plants out from her the strands. The pale-skinned girl explained, “I heard Al’s report, well…a part of it, on the radio at my parents’ house and, uh…I kinda freaked out.

The small girl shook her short bright red hair and giggled, “Whoops! Sorry. Anyway, he’s coming to Eden and- Eeeeee! -guess where he’s staying?”

“No need to guess, my sugar-filled jane! Because I have arrived,” the other two girls slowly looked over at the front, seeing Alastor standing with a microphone-like cane in his hand. He grinned widely at them and greeted, “We meet again~”

They just stared blankly at him, not knowing what to say. Next, Angelo came into the hotel and started, “Yeah, yeah, I know what I’m wearin’ ain’t ideal, but I got some clothes I ca-” he stopped when he saw Al turn his head to him. He blinked at the dapper man and groaned, “God damn it…”
