RavenDragon: Now we can get started with the Hazbin Hotel.

Charlie was squealing and jumping in her seat.

Angel: I am too sober for this.

Husk: I'm wearing earplugs the whole time. (puts them in)

Vaggie: Suck it up, boys.

(The scene opened at the end of the extermination day.)

Charlie: Oh. Right. The Extermination.

Kara: Yeah. Not a happy day in Hell.

(The clock tower that chimed to end the extermination came into view. The countdown for the next cleanse shifted by 365 days.)

Charlie: So some things are similar.

RavenDragon: Yep. (Realizes who she forgot to bring) Oh, shit! I forgot three other guests. Kara, you might know them.

Kara: Oh right.

RavenDragon snapped her fingers, and then Victoria, Aasha Kelly, and Andy Grin appeared in their seats.

Aasha: Hey! What the fuck?! I was in the middle of a performance!

Victoria: Where are we?

Angel: Um, who are they?

Kara: Aasha Kelly, one of the best jazz dancers. Andy Grin, another pron star like you, Angel. You two actually know each other in my universe. And that's Victoria Valentine, she's a recently new sinner and another guest at the hotel.

Charlie: Really?! (squeals) How exciting!

RavenDragon: And we are continuing to watch the show.

(The camera shifted to Kara coming out of her club and about to head out to join Charlie for her interview. That is until she heard the sound of an explosion that was close to where Kara was. She looked up and saw that it was Pentious's ship and her girlfriend, Cherri Bomb had made her entrance.)

KARA: Why am I not surprised, Cherri?

(Kara then got in her car and headed to the news station.)

Cherri: Oh good. The turf war still happened, And I still kicked Edgelord's ass!

Pentious growled.

(The scene changed to Kara arriving at the news station and she went backstage where Vaggie and Charlie are. Charlie was ready to do her interview.)

KARA: Looks like I made it in time.

CHARLIE: Yep. I'm ready.

KARA: Oh before I forget, do not piss off Katie Killjoy.

VAGGIE: And do not sing.

CHARLIE: OK. Fine. I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills.

Molly: Is Charlie always like this?

Vaggie: Yes.

(Charlie walks over to Katie Killjoy. Vaggie on the other hand looked worried.)

KARA: Vaggie. She's going to do fine.

VAGGIE: I hope so. By the way, how did you convince Katie to do this?

KARA: Jeffery wasn't going to show up for his cannibal cooking segment and I told her that the princess wanted to share her hotel idea on the news.

VAGGIE: And...?

KARA: Let's just say, she couldn't say no to me.

(Kara and Vaggie went out into the audience just as Katie and Charlie took their seats.)

Victoria: So she was doing an interview? It can't be that bad.

Kara: Oh right. You didn't land in hell yet. Just watch.

KATIE: Welcome back. (Her neck cracked and her head arced off. She fixed it quickly and then turned to Charlie.) So Charlotte...

CHARLIE: It's... Charlie.

KATIE: Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about! (she clicked her pen like a stress toy.)

CHARLIE: Well... (She looked out at Vaggie and Kara who were smiling at Charlie. Charlie cleared her throat and continued.) As most of you know, I was born here in Hell and growing up, I always tried to see the good in everyone around me.

(Katie looks bored then spots a slug and stabs it with her pen, the slug's blood bursts all over.)

CHARLIE: Hell is my home and... (Some slug blood lands on her cheek then wipes it off her face and continues.) You are my people. We... We just went through another extermination.

(Vaggie gives her a thumbs up.)

CHARLIE: We lost so many souls, and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. No one is even given, (She slams her fist on the table, waking Katie up.) A chance! (She walks up from Katie's desk.) I can't stand idly by while the place I live is subjected to such violence! So, I've been thinking: Isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation here in Hell? (She walks around the audience.) Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through... redemption? (she throws her arm around one of the News Cast's staff members.) Well, I think yes! So, that's what this project aims to achieve! She returns to Katie's desk) Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind! A hotel that rehabilitates sinners!

(The camera quickly shows the broadcast continuing at a place called the Radio Shack, which many other demons are also watching by the streets and everywhere else in Hell.)

CHARLIE: (Losing the audience) Y'know? 'Cause hotels are for people passing' through... temporarily... I think it'll serve a purpose... a place to work toward redemption... yay...!

Victoria: Oof. That's not good.

Charlie covered her face with her hair, feeling embarrassed.

Molly: At least it can't get worse.

Vaggie: You just had to say that.

(The camera went back to the news station. Kara and Vaggie could tell that Charlie was losing them.)

CAMERAMAN DEMON: Stupid bitch.

(Vaggie punched the demon in the face.)

Aasha: Nice one!

Vaggie: Thanks.

CHARLIE: Look, every single one of you has something good, deep down inside. I know you do! (She then got an idea.) Maybe I'm not getting through to you.

(Razzle and Dazzle are then alerted that Charlie's about to sing.)

VAGGIE: Oh no.

(Charlie snaps her fingers as the room turns dark and a spotlight is shown over a piano that Charlie, Razzle, and Dazzle start performing on.)

Charlie: My song is in there!

Husk: I'm out. (Puts in the earplugs)

Victoria: I'm sure it's not that bad.

Angel: Oh yeah? Watch.

CHARLIE:

I have a dream, I'm here to tell!


(She begins to walk away from the piano as two news staff look at each other.)


About a wonderful fantastic new Hotel!


(She takes out a drawing of The Happy Hotel.)


Yes, it's one-of-a-kind! Right here in Hell, catering to a specific clientele


RAZZLE/DAZZLE:

Oooh, ooh, ooh


(Killjoy is in shock as Trench looks around, confused.)


CHARLIE:

Inside of every demon is a rainbow


(She throws her arm around the necks of two bird demons.)


Inside every sinner is a shiny smile


(Then she passes underneath a hellhound's tail.)


Inside of every creepy hatchet-wielding maniac is a jolly, happy cupcake-loving child


(She then hands the masked demon a sparkling cupcake and pats his head.)


We can turn around!


(She then turns to Killjoy and Trench.)


They'll be Heaven-bound!


With just a little time, down at The Happy Hotel!


(In the audience, Vaggie stands with a disappointed expression


So, all you junkies


(She takes out a syringe from a doll demon's head.)


Freaks


(Then she takes a pic with a Siamese twin demon in its cage.)


And weirdos


(She fends off a several-eyed blob demon.)


Creepers


(She stares at a snail demon out the window.)


Fuck-ups


(She then boops a couch demon on the nose.)


Crooks, and zeroes


(She then returns the stolen money to charity)


And down-fallen superheroes


(She then throws her hands behind the necks of two supervillain demons.)


Help is here!


All of you cretins


(She then dips her hair into the water by the pier.)


Sluts


(Then holds out a pair of panties in disgust.)


And losers.


(And calls her rival, Helsa a loser, causing her to sneer in anger.)


Sexual deviants


(She then backs away from the sex offenders.)


And boozers


(Then turns to face a depressed demon.)


And prescription drug abusers.


(Charlie then throws away the drugs a blue demon is taking into a burning trash can.)


Need not fear!


Forever again


(A demon lands on a wheelchair and is pushed by Razzle towards Charlie and Dazzle.)


We'll cure your sin.


(She then shows the demon her clipboard.)


We'll make you well


(Dazzle injects a happiness serum into the patient.)


You'll feel so swell!

Right here in Hell!


(She then briefly turns to her full demonic form.)


At the Happy Hotel!


Molly: What was that?

Charlie: My demon form. It comes out when I get worked up.

Aasha: Now that's hot.

Vaggie: Watch it! That's my girlfriend!


(Razzle continues to aggressively play the piano. She then slides over to Katie's right.)


There'll be no more fire


(Then she slides over to Trench's left.)


And no more screams.

Just puppy dog kisses.


(And now Charlie is holding a dog close to her face.)


And cotton candy dreams


(She holds out a stick of cotton candy.)


And puffy-wuffy clouds

You're gonna be like 'Wow!''


(She cuddles both the dog and cotton candy. And soon showing the clouds forming the word 'Wow!")


Once you check in with meee


(Charlie shows a check-in chart. Vaggie is seen with both her hands covering her face. Kara shook her head in disbelief, knowing that this would not end well.)


So, all your cartoon porn addictions


(Then Charlie confiscates a neckbeard demon's cartoon porn magazine.)


Vegan rants.


(She confiscates a vegan demon's Hellphone and takes a selfie with it.)


Psychic predictions.


(Confiscates the spell books and crystal ball of a psychic demon.)


Ancient Roman crucifixion


(She avoids running into a crucified demon and knocks over two other crucified demons.)


End right here


(She then throws away all the confiscated items off a cliff.)


All you monsters


(She then clenches the hands of two monstrous demons.)


Thieves, and crazies


(She then points finger guns over a dog demon trying to steal baguettes from an insect demon whose hood flares open.)


Cannibals


(She also tempts the cannibals with a severed arm on a plate.)


And crying babies


(Charlie then looks at a possum mother and her rabid babies, annoyed.)


Frothing mouths that's full of rabies filled with cheer


(She then pulls a hellhound with rabies close to her.)


You'll be complete


(She completes a puzzle demon.)


It'll be so neat


(A wrecking ball demon destroys the puzzle demon as Charlie gives two thumbs up.)


Our service can't be beat

You'll be on easy street, yes


(She then hugs three demons, which include Mimzy.)


Life will be sweet


(She then turns to her demonic form.)


At The Happy Hoteeel


(She then twirls happily in flames as she jumps up, revealing a land made of candies and sweets behind her.)


Yeah!


(Soon Charlie finishes the song, looking exhausted as everyone in the news station looks at her with disgust and disbelief.)

Husk took out the earplugs.

Alastor: At least it was very entertaining.

Charlie: OK, now that I've seen this, I'm starting to see that wasn't the right moment to break into song.

TOP HAT DEMON: Wow! ...That was shit!

(Everyone in the audience including Killjoy and Trench began to laugh at Charlie. Charlie looks crushed and devastated and slumps back down to her seat. There's a boo section in the news and the demons look uninterested.)

KATIE: What in the Nine Circles makes you think a single denizen of Hell would give two shits about becoming a better person?! You have no proof that this little experiment even works! You want people to be good?! Just... because?!

CHARLIE: Well, we have a patron already, who believes in our cause and he's shown incredible progress.

KATIE: Oh. And who might that be?

CHARLIE: Oh, just someone named Angel Dust.

TOM: The porn star?

KATIE: (turning to Tom with a menacing look.) You fucking would, Tom!

Arackniss: Really Anthony?

Angel: What?! He paid in advance!

Andy: You fucked with Tom Trench? Wow. You're either brave or stupid.

Angel: Gee thanks.

KATIE: (turns to Charlie) In any case, that's not even an accomplishment. I'm sure you could get that hooker to do anything with enough booger sugar and lube. (motions doing a handjob.)

CHARLIE: Oh, I beg to differ! He's been behaved, clean, and out of trouble for two weeks now.

Angel: I wouldn't say completely clean...

Vaggie: Angel!

Angel: What?! I have a reputation to uphold!

NEWS STAFF: Breaking news!

(Katie then shoves Charlie off her desk.)

KATIE: We are receiving word that a new player has entered the ongoing turf war! Let's go to the live feed.

(The live feed shows Angel stepping on an egg boi and throwing a grenade at Pentious with visible laughter in the background. Charlie saw the feed and was ashamed.)

CHARLIE: Oh shit.

KATIE: "Oh shit." Indeed! It looks like the one who just joined the battle is none other than... (fake gasps) Porn actor, Angel Dust!

Angel: (nervously chuckles) Whoops.

Cherri: Oh come on! He was doing me a solid!

Husk: And yet, he made the princess look like a joke.

Vaggie: (groans) Is it that hard to not get into turf wars!?

Angel: It wasn't that bad...

Vaggie: Not that bad?! You humiliated us! (groans again.)

Arackniss: Welcome to my world.

Angel: (turns to Arackniss) What's that supposed to mean?

Arackniss: You would do the same thing when we were alive. Drove me to the point where I would have strangled you.

Angel: Ha! Jokes on you. You're too short to even reach me.

Molly: Boys, behave.

Arackniss/Angel: Fine.

KATIE: What a juicy coincidence! You must feel really stupid, right now.

KATIE/TOM: (Jazz hands) Ratings!

(Charlie looked horrified and tried to cover up the live feed.)

CHARLIE: Don't look at this!

KATIE: Well, it sure looks like your little project is dead on arrival. (looms over Charlie) Tell us, how does it feel to be a total failure? (Laughs at Charlie.)

(Kara quickly walked over to Charlie.)

KARA: Ok, this interview is over! Come on, Charlie.

(Kara helps Charlie walk away from Katie Killjoy. She then turned to Katie with murder in her eyes. She marched over to her, not caring that the broadcast was still live.)

Charlie: Wait. So you're the one that gets into a fight with Killjoy?

Kara: Yeah. And I only made it out with a few scrapes. Katie Killjoy on the other hand, well, let's just say she'll be having nightmares.

Angel: Oh now this I have to see.

(Katie stopped laughing when she saw Kara.)

KARA: What the fuck, Killjoy?! That wasn't our deal! We agreed that you would let Charlie advertise her hotel on the news, not humiliate her!

KATIE: Things change. Besides, that royal brat had it coming.

KARA: I'd watch what you'd say about Lucifer's daughter. You'll be in double hell faster than your career.

KATIE: Says the gay-loving drug addict that's the weakest...

KARA: (Rageful.) How about you shut your trap you, judgemental, man-eating, gossip-sucking bitch?!

Angel: Dammm!

Husk spat out his booze.

Cherri: (laughs) Now that's putting Killjoy in her place!

(Tom Trench runs away disturbed and frightened. Katie glares at Kara and becomes so angry with her. Katie's demonic form which was a praying mantis came out.)

KARA: Vaggie, take the princess out of here.

(Vaggie rushed Charlie out of the news station. Kara let out her demonic hell fox form. The red highlights in her fire glowed. Her normal-length nails turned into black sharp claws.)

KARA: Bring it, bitch!

(Katie tackled Kara to the ground but Kara kicked Katie off of her. She then raised her claw and slashed one of Katie's mantis legs clean off.)

Alastor: Ha! Ha! What rage! What violence! What entertainment!

Aasha: Damm! I don't I've ever seen Kara that angry.

Angel: Seriously?! Are you sure you and I aren't related?!

(Kara then kicked Katie Killjoy in the face and let out a loud growl. Katie shook off the pain then she snarled at Kara. Tom Trench came into view completely on fire.)

Everyone was laughing at Tom Trench.

(The screen was split into four smaller screens. One with Pentious and his egg bois screaming, One with Cherri and Angel charging at Pentious, One with Kara and Katie fighting with each other, and the last one with just Tom Trench still on fire.)

Vaggie: Well that could have gone better.

Andy: Are you kidding?! It's about time that Killjoy got what was coming to her.

Charlie: I'm sure that's not true.

Andy: OK, raise your hand if you wanted to stick it to Katie Killjoy.

Almost everyone including RavenDragon raised their hand.

Vaggie: Everyone?

Angel: I know you would too, Vags. Put your hand up.

Vaggie groans then she also raises her hand.

(The scene changed to the royal limo after the interview and them picking up Angel. Charlie was disappointed with how the interview turned out, Vaggie was furious at Angel, and Kara came out of the fight with only a few scrapes. Angel Dust is pushing the switch up and down to open and close the window connection to the front seat. Angel then stops to see everyone looking at him Vaggie narrows her eyes with a vicious glare.)

ANGEL: What?

VAGGIE: (rage) What? What?! What were you doing?! (pulls out some of her hair.)

ANGEL: (sighs) I owed my girl buddy a solid! Isn't that a "redeeming quality"? Helping friends with stuff?

VAGGIE: Not with turf wars that result in territorial genocide!

ANGEL: Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred. (snickers) It wasn't that bad anyway.

Vaggie: Not that bad?!

Angel: (groans) You sound like Arackniss when he scolds me.

Arackniss: Because you always get into trouble.

(He then continues to play with the switch for the window. Vaggie throws a dagger at the switch, breaking it and causing Angel to jump back. Then turns to see Vaggie narrowing her eyes at him.)

ANGEL: Aw come on, I had to! My credibility was on the line! I mean, what kind of reputation would I have if people found out I was trying to go clean? It just throws out my entire persona.

VAGGIE: Your credibility? What about the hotel? Your little stunt made us look like a fucking joke!

ANGEL: No no no, babe. Jokes are funny! I made you look... uh, sad! And pathetic! Like an orphan, with no arms, or legs...

KARA: We get it, Angel. But you're not helping Charlie.

ANGEL: Well, that's just great! Now I'm bummed thinking about it! This thing have any liquor?

(Angel starts looking around for any bottles of liquor in the limo.)

VAGGIE: Can you please just try to take this seriously?

ANGEL: Fine, I'll try, just don't get your taco in a twist, baby. (snaps his fingers at Vaggie.)

(Vaggie stood up feeling offended.)

VAGGIE: Was that you trying to be sexist or racist?

ANGEL: (groans) Whatever pisses you off more. Is there seriously no liquor in here?

VAGGIE: (sat down and crossed her hands.) I'm gonna kill him.

Molly/Arackniss: Anthony!

Angel: What?! It was funny.

Andy: It really wasn't.

Victoria: Your real name is Anthony?

Angel: Thanks a lot, Molls and Niss.

KARA: Ok everyone, let's all calm down.

CHARLIE: That was really uncool y'know, Angel.

VAGGIE: Uncool?! After that trainwreck, there is no way anyone is gonna wanna stay at the hotel! All thanks to you and your selfish bullshit!

ANGEL: Does that mean I don't have a free room anymore?

KARA: Angel...

ANGEL: Ah, well, shucks.

KARA: Vaggie, calm down. It'll be ok.

Charlie: Ok, you and I would get along just fine.

Kara: Thanks.

(They arrived at the hotel. They all walked into the hotel which looked in disrepair. Angel walks to the fridge and opens it to take a box of posies. There isn't too much food in the fridge, but there are at least a few popsie. Angel begins to eat one of them.)

ANGEL: It's probably a good idea to get some actual food in this place. Y'know, to feed all the wayward souls ya got in here.

(Angel laughs but he could see that Charlie was still upset. Charlie decided to call her mother for some help. Angel then goes over to Kara.)

ANGEL: Cherri says "hi" by the way.

KARA: Good to know.

ANGEL: You good?

KARA: Yeah. Just something that Killjoy said got to me.

ANGEL: And then you beat her to a pulp. I saw the blood on your nails.

KARA: Hey. She's still alive. Ish.

Angel: Ish? You chopped off one of Katie's limbs.

Kara: Hey. In my bounty hunting days, you have to aim for your victim's weak spot. I always go for the limbs or the eyes.

Arackniss: The eyes?

Kara: It depends on the demon.

(Just when Charlie had given up all hope; there was a knock at the door. Feeling cautious, Charlie opened the door; standing there was a demon dressed like an old radio show host in all red and black from head to toe, with what looked like deer ears on his head, a mic in one hand, and a creepy smile that could rival the Jokers'.)

ALASTOR: Hell-

(Charlie slams the door on him, showing a concern on her face. Worrying about who is at the door, Charlie opens to see he's still at the door.)

ALASTOR: lo...

(Charlie slams the door again.)

Alastor: Rude.

(Charlie turned towards Vaggie, Kara, and Angel who were all sitting on the couch.)

CHARLIE: Hey, Vaggie, Kara.

VAGGIE: What?

CHARLIE: The Radio Demon is at the door!

VAGGIE: What?!

ANGEL: Who?

KARA: (nearly choked on her spit.) What?! Charlie, whatever you do, don't let him in!

Alastor: My reputation remains the same in any universe.

Kara: While most demons fear you, I'm only annoyed by you.

(Charlie turns to the door in concern and figures that Kara does have a point. Instead, she opens the door, and the demon is still at the door.)

ALASTOR: May I speak now?

CHARLIE: You may...

(The demon holds out his hand introducing himself.)

ALASTOR: Alastor, pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart. (He then grabs Charlie's wrist and comes up at her face.) Quite a pleasure. (Then he lets himself into the hotel.) Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on a picture show and I just couldn't resist. What a performance! (A cheering soundtrack played as he spoke.) Why, I haven't been that entertained since the stock market crash of 1929! (He laughs along with a laughing soundtrack.) So many orphans.

Molly: He doesn't look that terrifying.

Cherri: I'll say.

(Vaggie points her spear at Alastor.)

VAGGIE: Stop right there! (Speaks in Spanish) Cabrón hijo de perra! (Translation: You bastard son of a bitch!)

Kara: Vaggie!

Vaggie: Hey. You would have thought the same thing!

Kara: OK, fair.

VAGGIE: I know your game. And I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here, you pompous, cheesy talk show shitlord!

ALASTOR: (pushed the spear away from him and slightly laughed.) Dear, if I wanted to hurt anyone here... (He then opens his eyes to reveal a creepy expression on his face as he says in a static dark tone.) I would have done so already.

(Strange symbols appear around the Radio Demon as strange static sounds appear. Charlie, Kara, and Vaggie are now frozen in fear.)

Victoria, Aasha, Andy, Cherri, Arackniss, and Molly also looked frozen in fear.

Molly: I take it back.

(Alastor then shakes his head going back to his normal expression.)

ALASTOR: No, I'm here because I want to help!

CHARLIE: Say what now?

KARA: You want to help with the hotel?

ALASTOR: Of course!

CHARLIE: But... Why?

KARA: (scoffs) What's in it for you?

ALASTOR: (Laughs) 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! Ha ha ha!

KARA: (Sarcastically) I suppose getting into a fistfight with a reporter counts as entertaining.

ALASTOR: (Ignoring Kara's sassy remark.) 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.

CHARLIE: So, does this mean that you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?

ALASTOR: Of course not. That's wacky nonsense! Redemption, oh the non-existent humanity! Nononono, I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners!

(Kara merely rolled her eyes at Alastor.)

Angel: Let me guess, you met Alastor once?

Kara: Yes. And I'm starting to regret it.

ALASTOR: The chance given was the life they lived before; the punishment is this! There is no undoing what is done!

CHARLIE: So then, why do you want to help me if you don't believe in my cause?

(Alastor turns to Charlie with a smile and his eyes slightly glow.)

ALASTOR: Consider it an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself! (He then grabs Charlie's arm and twirls her around.) I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment! (Speaks in a dark tone.) Only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure.

(As Alastor was chatting with Charlie. The camera turned to Vaggie, Kara, and Angel.)

ANGEL: Ah, so uh, what's the deal with Smiles over there?

VAGGIE: Wait, you've never heard of him before? You've been here longer than us!

Molly: Really Angie? You never heard of him? Even me and Nissy know about him.

Angel: Come on Molls, you know I'm not big on politics.

(Angel shrugged his shoulders.)

KARA: Alastor? The Radio Demon? One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?

ANGEL: Eh, not big on politics.

Angel: See?

Husk: Wow. That's freaky.

(Vaggie groaned in frustration.)

KARA: You want to explain it or should I?

VAGGIE: I'll tell him. Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell. Seemingly overnight, he began to topple overlords who had been dominant for centuries.

(As Vaggie explained who Alastor was, the screen began to show different images of Alastor's past in Hell.)

VAGGIE: 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.

(The images stopped then the scene went back to Vaggie.)

VAGGIE: 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.

ANGEL: Ya done?

Andy: Now you see how dangerous Alastor is.

Angel: Meh. I've dealt with worse.

ANGEL: (laughs) He looks like a strawberry pimp!

Alastor spat out his drink. Kara, Husk, Cherri, and Andy were rolling with laughter. Even Arackniss cracked a smile.

Molly: I was thinking the same thing.

Angel: See?

Alastor: Excuse me?!

Angel: Oh come on Al. I meant it as a compliment.

VAGGIE: Well, I don't trust him!

ANGEL: To be fair, do you trust any man? Any men?

KARA: Oh brother.

(Vaggie left the couch then she pulled Charlie to the side to talk.)

VAGGIE: 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.

CHARLIE: I- we don't know that. Look, 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! 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. (She then places her hands on Vaggie's shoulders.) Just trust me. I can take care of myself.

VAGGIE: Charlie, whatever you do, do not make a deal with him.

CHARLIE: Don't worry. Besides, I picked up one thing from my dad. (imitates her father.) Ya don't take shit from other demons!

Victoria: That's good advice.

(Charlie then walked over to Alastor.)

CHARLIE: Okay, so... Al. You're sketchy as fuck, and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here is a joke.

(Then has her back facing him, unaware that his eyes are glowing and symbols are appearing. When Charlie turns her eyes to him, they disappear.)

CHARLIE: 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.

ALASTOR: (twirling his microphone) So it's a deal, then?

(As Alastor held out his hand for Charlie to shake, a strange green energy circle surrounded them and released a strange magic. That causes Kara, Vaggie, and Angel Dust to shield themselves from the light. Charlie looks down in shock, weary about it.)

Victoria: That's a little freaky.

Alastor: I'm not called the Radio Demon for nothing my dear.

(Charlie quickly swatted Alastor's hand away.)

CHARLIE: Nope! No shaking! No deals! I- hmm... As the princess of Hell, and heir to the throne, I uh, hereby order that you help with this hotel, for as long as you desire. Sound fair?

ALASTOR: Hmm... fair enough. (walks away)

CHARLIE: (sighs in relief) Cool beans.

(Alastor hummed a little song then turned to Kara. He places his red claw under her chin.)

ALASTOR: Smile, my dear!

(Kara growled at him.)

ALASTOR: You know you're never fully dressed without one!

KARA: We'll see who's smiling when I shove my foot up your....

CHARLIE: OK, then!

(Alastor walked away with a smug grin.)

Angel: Wow. You really hate Smiles.

Kara: I have trust issues.

(Alastor walked to Charlie.)

ALASTOR: So where is your hotel staff?

CHARLIE: Well... (points to Kara and Vaggie since they are the only employees.)

ALASTOR: Oh ho ho ho, you're going to need more than that. (He then walked to Angel) And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?

ANGEL: I can suck your dick!

(Alastor let out a radio streak.)

ALASTOR: Ha! No! (walks away)

ANGEL: Your loss.

Pentious: (mutters) You and your sex jokes...

Andy: (laughs) Bold move, Angie!

Angel: Thank you, thank you. I'm here for all eternity!

Alastor: Now you're just milking it.

ALASTOR: I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up!

(With a snap of his fingers, the fireplace burst into flames. In the blink of an eye, the fireplace seems as good as new. Suddenly, something falls into it. Alastor walks over and picks up the strange being by the shirt. Suddenly, a single eye opened on its face. It's one large eye has a hot pink and yellow sclera with a light yellow iris and a black pupil. Charlie, Vaggie, Kara, and Angelt look at what Alastor is holding with confused looks. The soot came off of the demon to reveal a small one-eyed demon. She also has a single eyebrow and white skin. She has short pink hair with a yellow highlight. Her teeth are sharp and light yellow, and she has small pink dots at each corner of her mouth, evocative of dimples. Her attire is that of a red 1950s maid dress and a white apron over it with three dripping splotches. She wears a dark red neckerchief. She has small, pointed limbs with her arms being black and her legs colored dark red.)

ALASTOR: This little darling is Niffty! (drops her)

(Niffty stood up.)

NIFFTY: Hi! I'm Niffty! It's nice to meet you! It's been a while since I've made new friends!

KARA: Well, aren't you a little ball of energy?

NIFFTY: Aww. (notice the state of the hotel.) Oh man, this place is filthy! (She ran all over the place.) It really needs a lady's touch, which is weird, because most of you are all ladies, no offense.

Arackniss, Andy, Pentious, Molly, and Aasha snickered.

Niffty: Sorry, Angel.

Angel: It's fine Nif. Honest mistake. Then again I sometimes wear dresses.

NIFFTY: (pulls out a feather duster.) Oh my gosh, this is awful!

(Niffty started going on a cleaning spree. A green glow appears causing everyone to turn heads to see what it is. Suddenly a cat demon with wings that looks like an evocative of a magician, paired with a casino referencing playing-card theme appeared at a bar station that Alastor put up.)

HUSK: What the fuck is this? (Sees Alastor.) You!

ALASTOR: Ah, Husker my good friend! Glad you could make it!

HUSK: Don't you 'Husker' me, you son of a bitch. I was about to win the whole damn pot! (gestured to the table of cash, poker chips, and coins that vanished.) What the hell do you want with me this time?

ALASTOR: My friend, I am doing some charity work, so I took it upon myself to volunteer your services! I hope that's okay.

HUSK: You thought it would be some kind of big fuckin' riot just to pull me outta nowhere! You think I'm some kinda fuckin' clown?!

ALASTOR: Maybe. (A laughter track plays)

Victoria: How did you end up with Alastor?

Husk: Trust me, sweetheart. It's not a pleasant story.

RavenDragon: Don't Husk! I have a strict, No Spoilers rules!

Husk shrugged then went back to drinking.

HUSK: I ain't doin' no fuckin' charity job.

ALASTOR: Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment. (He shows the cat some kind of strange front desk that almost looks like a small bar.)

With your charming smile and welcoming energy, this job was made for you! (walks over to the counter.) Don't worry, my friend. I can make this more welcoming... (Then summons a green bottle that has the label 'Cheap Booze' on the counter.) If you wish.

Husk walks towards Alastor and takes the bottle from the table.)

HUSK: What, you think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?! (He has his eyes turned to the bottle.) Well, you can! (He then begins to drink the bottle and sits behind the front desk.)

KARA: A bar? Don't you think that's a little... I don't know much.

ANGEL: (grabs Kara by the shoulders) Shut up! Shut! Up! We are keeping this. (Points to the bar with Husk. He then made his way to Husk.) Hey.

HUSK: Go fuck yourself.

ANGEL: Only if you watch me.

Husk: And he's just as annoying.

Angel: Hey!

(Alastor walks over to Charlie.)

ALASTOR: So, what do you think?

CHARLIE: This is amazing!

VAGGIE: (Her arms crossed) It's... okay.

ALASTOR: (laughs) This is going to be very entertaining!

(Alastor adjusts his monocle and summons a small flame from his hand in front of Charlie. Alastor tosses the flare in the air and shoves Vaggie away. Suddenly, Alastor's attire changes completely, and begins to sing.)

ALASTOR:

You have a dream,

You wish to tell,

(He changes Charlie's attire to a twenties style. Charlie seems happy to see her new outfit.)

And it's just laughable

(Vaggie is furious at the Radio Demon that her face is turning red and about ready to kill him.)

But, hey kid, what the hell?

(The Radio Demon then picks Charlie up and tosses her in the air. Suddenly, the scenery changes color.)

Aasha: Now that man's got some pipes.

'Cause you're one of a kind

A charming demon belle!

(He and Charlie dance, and slide down the stairs.)

Now let's give these burning fools a place to dwell

(Alastor snaps his fingers and everyone in the room has their outfits changed. Vaggie, Angel, and Kara are confused by the outfit change. Nifty likes her clothes, while Husk doesn't seem to care, at all.)

Molly: At least he has style.

Alastor: Why thank you.

Aasha: And that flapper dress on Kara?! Honey, you look stunning in that!

Kara: I do look good.

Alastor then snapped his fingers and changed everyone's outfits including RavenDragon's into a 1920s style.

Andy: What the...?

Victoria: Whoa!

Angel: Really Smiles?

Alastor: What? I figured I could at least have some fun.

RavenDragon: I'll allow the outfit change. Mostly because I love my flapper look.

(Take it, boys!)

(With another snap of his fingers, voodoo-like shadows come out and play trumpets and a drum set. Charlie snaps her fingers to the beat with a smile on her face. Vaggie tries to talk to her about her concern, but Alastor drags her to the others.)

Inside of every demon is a lost cause

(Alastor appears at the desk bar where Angel Dust and Husk are. He places a white hat on Angel's head and plucks a hair from Husk's eyebrows. Angel snaps his fingers with a smile. Annoyed, Husk shows his middle finger when Alastor's not at the scene.)

But we'll dress 'em up for now with just a smile!

(He then places a hat and a fur on Vaggie. He then put some pearls around Kara's neck. He then slaps Vaggie's back, making her come in rage. Then she tosses the stuff to the ground as she growls in anger.)

SHADOWS:

(With a smile)

ALASTOR:

And we'll chlorinate this cesspool

With some old redemption flair

(Alastor continues to dance, and kicks a skull out of the way. Then twirls his cane as he dances around.)

And show these simpletons some proper class and style

SHADOWS:

(Class and style)

(He then dances towards the fireplace. With a wave from his cane, he summons more shadows to come out. One of them has the same resemblance to him.)

ALASTOR:

Here below the ground

I'm sure your plan is sound!

(After that, he dances with Charlie and presses his hands against her cheeks. He then takes her hand and whisks her away.)

They'll spend a little time

(He then spins himself and Charlie around and lets the girl go.)

Down at this Hazbin Ho-

(His singing was cut off by a blast at the wall. The door was blown clean off and it hit Niffty.)

Aasha: Man! Just when it was getting good.

Andy: I'll say. What kind of idiot would blast the door off?

(With their clothes back to normal, Everyone takes a look outside of the hole that is made. They see an airship, a very familiar zeppelin. Coming out of the opening of the ship, is the snake demon, Sir Pentious.)

Angel: You had to ask.

Andy: Never mind.

Pentious: Hey!

PENTIOUS: Ha! Well well well, look who it is harboring the striped freak! We meet yet again, Alastor!

ALASTOR: Do I know you?

PENTIOUS: Oh, yes you do! (heads back to the main controls.)

KARA: OK, I have had just about enough with this clown!

Pentious: I am not a clown!

Kara: If the nose fits...

Cherri: Ooh! Burn!

(Kara gently pushes Alastor out of the way.)

CHARLIE: Kara, what are you doing?

KARA: Just stay behind me. Back up everyone, Mama's about to blow off some steam!

(Before Sir Pentious could fire up his weapon, Kara took a big breath then she let out a loud sonic ear-splitting shriek that caused the zeppelin to malfunction and shatter the glass windows. In a matter of seconds, the airship and the demons inside are blown to bits.)

Everyone was completely speechless.

Pentious: She just... I thought... That's... How?!

(Everyone minus Alastor just stood there shocked. Kara turned to face them.)

KARA: What?

ANGEL: You just shattered the airship like it was made of glass!

CHARLIE: How did you do that?

KARA: Oh that. It's... my voice. It's powerful enough to shatter glass and I normally have it under control. Unless you piss me off.

ANGEL: Noted.

ALASTOR: Well I'm starved! Who wants some jambalaya?

(Alastor walks towards the hotel as everyone else follows.)

ALASTOR: My mother once showed me a wonderful recipe for jambalaya! In fact, it nearly killed her! (laughs) You could say the kick was right out of Hell!

Victoria: Oh god. Is that his idea of a joke?

Husk: Trust me, he has worse jokes and puns.

Victoria: (sarcasm) Yeah.

(Bonus Scene)

Alastor: I thought we were done.

RavenDragon: Oh not quite. Plus this is something you and Angel need to see.

(The scene changed to Angel Dust in his bedroom, smoking. The door was swung open by Alastor who didn't even knock.)

ANGEL: What the hell, Al?!

ALASTOR: Apologizes for the intrusion my dear, but Charlie and Kara insisted that I check up on you.

(Angel puts out his cigarette.)

ANGEL: Well, I'm fine. So, you can cut the nice crap and disappear or whatever.

(Just as Angel was getting up, he started to trip over his own feet. He would have fallen face-first to the floor, but Alastor caught him before that happened. Alastor's touch was different from what Angel had experienced; he never had anyone been so gentle to him before. He looked up at Alastor's eyes which for some reason were kinder than before. His cheeks flushed red as Alastor slowly helped him to his feet like a prince charming.)

Charlie: No....

Arackniss: Fuckin...

Vaggie: Way...

Victoria: So that's how Angel fell for Alastor.

Aasha: Literally!

Molly was squealing and fangirling.

Angel: What...? What is this?

RavenDragon: In this world, you and Alastor have feelings for each other.

Angel: So I bag the Radio Demon?! Now this just got more interesting!

Alastor: Excuse me?!

ALASTOR: Foods ready. When you want to come down. Just don't lose your footing this time. (he winked at Angel and then left the room.)

(Angel's heart began to race all of a sudden; this was something new and unexpected. He had a crush on the Radio Demon; a real crush, not the fake "I just want you for sex" kind of crush. The kind of crush that makes you think that this demon could be your soulmate.)

Niffty: Alastor's in love!

Alastor: Ha! Preposterous!

Kara: Nope. It's true!

RavenDragon: And now we're done.
