Vaggie, Y/N, Niffty, Alastor, Angel Dust, Sir Pentious and Husk are all sitting in the hotel's lounge. "So, where are your wings?" Y/N asked. "Y/N, I don't have—" Vaggie began. "Did you ever think maybe she's sensitive about her lack of wings, just like her lack of tits?" Niffty tugs at Vaggie's shirt. "Yeah. Where are your tits?" Niffty asked, and Y/N snickers a little. Vaggie sighs. "Any other questions?" She asked. "I got one. How come every time Charlie talks to Heaven we get in deeper and deeper shit?" Husk asked. "It's not her fault. Angels are just—" Y/N began. "Liars?" Angel asked. "Difficult. But Charlie is trying her best." Vaggie said. "Yeah, well, her best is turning out real well so far." Husk said. "And where is miss fearless leader anyway? Isn't it about time for another

"doomed-to-fail" plan?" Angel asked. "She's upstairs. Coming up with something, I'm sure, in her room. Alone." Vaggie said. "Shouldn't one of us go check on her?" Y/N asked. "You can if you want to, lover boy." Angel said. "What?" Y/N asked, and he and Vaggie glare at him for that name. "Hmm." Alastor vanishes into black smoke. Charlie is in her bed under her covers softly crying. While Razzle and Dazzle comfort her with tissues. Alastor reappears in her room and approaches her bedside. "Oh, Charlie, you look an absolute mess." Alastor said. "Ugh, go away, Alastor." Alastor sits down on her bed while Charlie hides again under the covers. "Now, now is that any way to act after picking a fight with all of Heaven and dooming everyone you love?" Charlie emerges from the covers.

"I have enough on my mind without hearing your sadistic idea of a joke, asshole." Charlie wraps herself under the covers again, only for Alastor to appear laying beside her. "Who's joking?" Charlie scared, jumps and falls off of the bed. "You have a captive audience downstairs waiting to hear what kind of inspiring performance you have planned next."  Alastor said. "Ugh, I can't. How can I face them after failing them all so hard?" Alastor repositions himself on his stomach and begins kicking his legs in the air. "They came here to be saved and all I gave them was more pain."

She tears up. I'm just as bad as the cruelest Overlord in Hell. And maybe worse." Charlie stands and paces back and forth. "At least they don't go around giving false hope." Charlie said. "Well, I never expected to see such a miserable display of self-loathing from you." Alastor said. "Oh, fuck you, Alastor." Alastor adjusts himself, now laying on his side. "All you do is stand there, smiling while you watch us struggle and fail. I don't know how you can enjoy all this suffering so much." Alastor stands up, wraps his fingers on Charlie's shoulder while chuckling. "Just because you see a smile don't think you know what's going on underneath." Alastor lets go of Charlie.

Alastor grabs Charlie's face with his hand and makes her smile. "A smile is a valuable tool, my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control." He said. "But I'm not." Charlie starts walking towards her bedroom window. "I'm the farthest thing from in control. The person I trust most has been lying to me for years. Heaven refuses to listen." Charlie thuds both fists against the window. "Even if they did, I can't prove the hotel works. Adam has an invincible exorcist army pointed right at my doorstep and there's nothing I can do." Charlie thuds the window. "About any of it!" Alastor starts smiling. "I know something you don't know." He said in a singsong voice. "Huh?" Charlie asked.

Alastor walks over and grabs Charlie's arms. "Those big, scary angels are not quite as indestructible as they seem." Alastor let's go of Charlie and walks away. "What are you talking about?" Charlie asked. "Just that you and your little band of misfits might stand more of a chance than you think." Alastor said. "How? I'll do anything." Charlie said. "Anything? Then... let's make a deal." Alastor said. "You... You want my soul?" Charlie asked. "Your soul?" Alastor asked sinisterly. "Heavens, no. All I need from you is one itty-bitty favor. What's a favor between friends?" He asked. "I won't hurt anyone for you." Charlie said. "Who's asking! One favor, at a time of my choosing, where you harm no one. In return, I tell you what I know. Do we have a deal?" Razzle and Dazzle both growl as Charlie puts her hands down to stop them.

"Deal." Charlie and Alastor shake hands resulting in a green demon/ghost-like aura flash throughout the room. Vaggie, Y/N Angel Dust, Sir Pentious and Husk are now in the hotel lobby as they observe the flash happen. Vaggie and Y/N begin heading to Charlie's room. "No. No!" Vaggie shouted. "Charlie!" Y/N shouted. Vaggie strains and slams the bedroom door open with her spear in hand as Y/n stands beside her. "Right on cue!" Alastor said. "What did you do? Let her go!" Y/N shouted, preparing to attack Alastor. Alastor and Charlie finish their handshake. "Y/N stop!" Charlie said.

"What?" He asked, and Vaggie drops her spear. "No, Charlie, please tell me you didn't—" Y/N said. "I made a deal with Alastor." Charlie said. "Charlie." Y/N pleads. "Oh, calm down. She still owns her soul." Alastor said. "She'd better." Y/N was still glaring at Alastor. He gave me info that can save the hotel, but we're going to need help. The angels can be defeated, and Carmilla is the key." Charlie said. "What? Carmilla Carmine?" Vaggie asked. "She killed an exorcist in the last extermination. She knows how they can be harmed." Charlie said. "But... I-- I didn't even know that was possible." Vaggie said.

"If you did, would you have told me?" Charlie asked. "Charlie, I—" Vaggie said. "I need you to go to her, convince her to teach us. If she can, we might have a chance." Charlie said. "With just the eight of us?" Vaggie asked. "No, we're-- ugh, we're going to need numbers too." Alastor reenters the conversation. "And I know just who can help. As long as Charlie can be her normal, charming self." He said. "What's that you said about smiles?" Charlie asked. Alastor pats her head. "Good girl." He said. "Charlie, can we talk about this—" Y/N was cut off. "We can talk later.

Right now, we have a job to do. I want you to come too. You with us?" Y/N sighs. "Fine." Vaggie walks down the stairs, only to be met by a confused Angel Dust. "So-ho, uh...Alastor, Y/N and Charlie just left like they were runnin' away from their responsibilities. Should we be alarmed?" Angel asked. "No. We have a plan, but it includes defending ourselves against the angels." Vaggie said. "Uh- are you fuckin' high?" Husk asked. "They can be killed-" Vaggie said. "Yeah! That knife lady, Camaro Carfight, killed one." Frank said. "Wait, you knew about this?" Vaggie asked. "Uh, yeah. I told Boss about it months ago." Frank said. Vaggie turns to Sir Pentious. "He what?" "What? They say insane shit all the time! how was I supposed to know this one was true?" He asked.

"Bank accounts are a scam created by the shadow government!" An Egg Boi said. "SEE?" Sir Pentious asked. Vaggie sighs "What's important now is that we're going to have a fight on our hands. Look, this hotel is about to become the most dangerous place in hell, and we.... can't guarantee your safety anymore. I still believe in Charlie's dream. I know this place can work. But none of you signed up for this." "I'm gonna go learn how we can fight back, and when I come home....Well I'll understand if none of you are here." With that, Vaggie heads out the door, everyone sighing in worry. "Well...This is awkward." Sir Pentious said. "'Kay!" Niffty said. "Three years! THREE YEARS I've been sharing my life with her, and I tell her EVERYTHING! My hopes, my dreams, my insecurities,

my embarrassing habits, what fucking DEODORANT I like, and she keeps something, like this, from ME? Why would she lie for so long? Did she think I wouldn't accept her? What about me—me—says un-understanding?" Charlie pauses her ranting to Y/N. "Misunderstanding," Charlie pauses. "Dis-under, wait what-" she and Y/N pause for a moment, looking at their current location. "Where are we?" Y/N asked. "Cannibal Town! There's a friend of mine I think you should meet." Alastor said. "In Cannibal Town? But it's, it's..." Charlie looks at her surroundings. "Surprisingly nice here." She said. "Yeah, I thought it'd be... a lot more... disturbing." Y/N said. "Nope! And it's all thanks to a very special someone" Alastor opens the door for Charlie and Y/N as they enter Rosie's emporium, where they meet the Cannibal Overlord herself at her desk speaking to a young woman at the front of a long line.

"Well who hasn't thought about eating their first husband? I certainly would have if he didn't taste so bad! Hehe, I tell ya what, you bring ol' tall dark and armless to me, and I'll straighten him right out, okay, sweetie?" She gives her a card. "Now here's my card a-" she notices Alastor. "Oh, my, stars! Do my eyes deceive me?" She peeks through the crowd. "Alastor? And is that Y/N with you?" Y/N chuckles nervously as she makes her way through. "Come now, Alastor, he's much too young for you!" "Wait, what?" Y/N asked. "Oh I'm just kidding. But where are your manners mister? Introduce us why don't you?" Rosie asked. "Ahh, yes. Charlie, Y/N, this is Rosie," Rosie curtsies politely.

"The most darling, delightful and dangerous Overlord of this side of the Pentagram!" Alastor said. "Oh! Always such a charmer." Rosie said. "And Rosie, it's my pleasure to introduce you," he pushes Charlie up to her. "To Princess Charlie Morningstar. Daughter of Lucifer and heir to the throne of Hell! And Y/N L/N!" Alastor said. "How do you do?" Charlie and Y/N wave nervously. "Well well! isn't this a regal surprise!" Rosie pushes her to her desk. "Come in! Come in! Can I offer you somethin' to eat? I'm sure I have a leg around here or somethin'. Oh, what am I thinkin'?" She pokes her stomach. "Small thing like you? You're probably watchin' your figure! How bout some nice pinkie fingers instead?" Y/N tries not to gag at that, as she spoke she got out a box of cut off pinkie fingers in little pink wrappers. "No, thank you." He said. "Thank you, though." Charlie said. Rosie puts the box away. "Oh look at you!" She pats her head. "So polite! Alastor, you could learn a thing o' two." Rosie then proceeds to take Charlie to a table with two chairs.

She sits them down on one of them and she sits on the one across from her. Alastor walks up to Rosie. "Well, sit down. Sit down. Tell Auntie Rosie what she can do for you. Ya know, Alastor. I got a premo-connect on a guy with about eight blocks of territory and not enough goons to run it. Prime pickin's for a deal to be made, my friend." Rosie said. "Appreciate the offer," Alastor walks up to Charlie and Y/N. "But we're here on business of another kind. "Well don't keep me in suspense! I'm a very busy woman." Rosie drinks a cup of tea. "Well, as you know...the extermination is coming early. It'll be here in a month, and they're-they're coming for my hotel and our friends first,

and I-I-I-I-" Charlie said. Alastor interrupts. "We need your help. Well, your cannibals help at least, to fend off the attack." He said. "Wow!" Rosie puts down the cup. "When you ask a favor ya don't start small, do ya, your highness? Oh now, don't fret." She gets up. "I didn't say I wouldn't help. But I assume there's more to this plan then a bunch of unarmed cannibals." She said. "Oh, your people will be far from helpless when we're done with them. And by the end, they will be able to eat, their, fill." Alastor said. "Well, in that case, sure! Why not?" Rosie asked. "Really?" Y/N asked. "What can I say? I like your moxie. And old Alastor has never done me wrong before." Rosie said. "Oooh! Thank you" Charlie holds her hands. "Thank you, thank you!"

Time Skip

"Cannibals and Cannibettes, assemble in the square." Rosie walks with Charlie and Y/N to the stage. "Now, darling, you know I would do anything, anything for my clients, but I can't exactly command all of Cannibal Town to follow someone else into battle. Now, don't get me wrong, they love carnage and bloodshed, but to get this group into line, you got to win 'em over. Settle in! Settle in! Important meeting." The cannibals form a crowd around the stage. "But how do I—" Charlie said. "With sparkle! Razzamatazz! and that oh so appealing moxie of yours." Rosie said. "Shouldn't be a problem.

It's not like you've ever failed to inspire before." Alastor said. Y/N sends him a glare. "Shut up, Alastor." Charlie groans as she walks on stage. "Now, fair warning. This group sticks together. So in order to convince any of them, you'll need to convince all of them. And there's one in particular—" Rosie said. "Uuuugh, Susan." Alastor said. "Who?" Y/N asked. "Susan, who's a bit of an... uh—" Rosie said. "Ornery old bitch?" Alastor asked. "That! She's tough, but win her over and the rest will be easy as pie. Ready?" Rosie asked. "I guess." Charlie said. "Everyone, we have a very special, very royal guest this evening! Please put your bloody hands together for

Princess Charlie!" Charlie smiles awkwardly and waves at the crowd. "Booooo, bring Rosie back!" Susan shouted. "Susan?" Charlie and Y/N asked. "Susan." Rosie and Alastor said. Charlie laughs nervously. "Sorry. Uh, okay, uh, my name's Charlie, and..." Susan and Charlie both speak at the same time. "Well, I run this hotel with my part... well someone and...Wait, let me start over. Angels are coming to kill us all and we need help defending our realm. So-- we, uh... we need your help-- With your assistance, we can make a stand for-- [Charlie sings] ♫I...I have a dream♫ and I—" "Booooo! Get off the stage, you blue blood bitch! Booo! We don't give a shit about some hotel! Leave before I eat those big-ass eyes of yours! Boo! Get off! Where's the showmanship? Where's all the finesse? Fucking mediocre!" Susan shouted. Charlie flips Susan off. "FUCK YOU, YOU OLD BITCH!!!!!" The cannibal crowd gasps. "Oh shit." Y/N said in shock. "Okay! We'll be back after a brief intermission." Rosie moves Charlie away from the stage.

"Alright, what has you so out of sorts, Darlin? Ya clearly got more on your mind than angels." Rosie said. Charlie sighs. "What do you do when someone you love lies to you about who they are?" She asked. "Romance? My specialty! Come on, dearie. Details, details!" Rosie said. "My girlfriend is an Exorcist angel, and she never told me." Charlie said. "Oh, shit! Quite a secret. How does that make you feel?" Rosie asked. "Just, angry, because we share everything, because she always supported me, and my ideas, and-and- and now, I don't know whether or not that was just more of the lies!" Charlie gasps. "Oh no that's a horrible thing to think! Do i think that?! Yes! N-no. Kinda?" Charlie sits on the couch whimpering. "You said you love her, right?" Y/N asked softly. "Yes. Or well, I...yes." Charlie said. "Have you ever once doubted that she loved you in return?" Y/N asked. Charlie shakes her head at the question. "Well, then what's the problem?" Rosie asked. "She took part in the very thing I've been working so hard to end!" Charlie shouted.

"Well, isn't that silly hotel of yours all about redemption?" Rosie asked. "Yes?" Charlie asked. "Perhaps this girl, was trying to redeem herself too." Rosie said. "She knows better than anyone that i believe in second chances, why not tell me?" Charlie asked. "It can be difficult to admit to things you're not proud of, especially if those things hurt the ones you love. She fucked up, sure. She's flawed. But, hey, who down here isn't? If there's anything I've learned, it's that words are cheap, but actions, they speak the truth. So, what have her actions said?" Rosie asked. "That she believes in me, and what we're doing. Right now she's off learning how to protect everything we've worked for. And, I can't even pitch my hotel right!" Charlie said. "Well how do you normally explain your hotel?" Rosie asked. "She does it by singing." Charlie was a bit surprised by that coming from Y/N, she smiles at him, but then it fades. "But that never works." She said. "I have a feeling it will work this time." Y/N said. Charlie, Y/N and Rosie both walk back up on the stage. Alastor hands Charlie his microphone, and Charlie begins to sing Ready For This.

Charlie: ♫Have you ever wanted something♫

Back at the gates of the hotel, Charlie and Y/N are coming from the left with the army of cannibals while Vaggie is coming from the right with multiple crates of weapons. "Looks like you had a busy day." Vaggie said. "You too." Y/N said. "Charlie, I—" Vaggie said. "Hold that thought. Err.. Ah! I got you a souvenir from Cannibal Town." Vaggie gasps and has an apologetic expression. She goes to hug Charlie. "Oh Charlie." She said. "The wings are new. They look nice." Y/N said. "Come on, let's go home." Vaggie, Y/N and Charlie walk into the hotel, as they find Angel Dust, Nifty, Sir Pentious, and Husk all working on defenses for the hotel together.

"Come along, let's put some effort into these fortifications." Sir Pentious said. "Yeah, fortify that... Well, look who decided to show up. We thought we were fightin' by ourselves." Angel said. "You're... you're still here?" Vaggie asked in surprise. "What? Do you think we're a bunch of pusssssies?" Sir Pentious asked. "I just got used to you guys." Husk scoffs. "I ain't finding no new drinking buddies." He said. "I've named all the stains on the carpet." Niffty giggles. "That one's Fred." "Okay..." Y/N said, a little creeped out. "Well, looks like we have a lot of work to do." Charlie said. "You said it." Y/N said.
