An over-headed interrogation light turns on in the dark room. Beneath it, Angel comes too, tied to a chair.

"Huh?"

He pulls at his restraints. Ropes holds his four arms behind the chair. A shadow wolf figure walks past him.

"Finally awake, Angel Dust?"

"Yeah, and what's it to ya?" Angel replied with a grin, still struggling to get out of these binds.

The wolf gangster grabs his hair and holds a knife to his knife.

"I want you to tell me where your boss stashes his vault." he demanded, letting him go and walking around him.

Angel chuckles.

"Hehehe! It's hilarious you think I'd tell you anything."

The wolf gangster grabs his collar and lifts him up in the air along with the chair.

"Fine. I guess I'll just have to fuck the information outta ya." he grinned.

"Do your worst, daddy." Angel grinned seductively.

When the wolf gangster pounces Angel, it becomes clear that the two of them are in a pornographic video that was obtained from the TV in the Hazbin Hotel while Charlie and the others were watching Angel's porn. All of that is, that is, except for Damari, who is curled up in the couch's corner, her long hair concealing her face and her ears covered.

"Ya know, this performance won me a 'Sex-x-x-i' award!" Angel said proudly with a grin. "Damari, why aren't ya watchin'? You're missing the good part!"

Damari ignores him and keeps herself covered.

"It's, uh... very... honest?... Oh."

Charlie gets uncomfortable and turns away and covers her eyes, looking about to throw up.

"Ew!" Vaggie said, looking just as disgusted as Charlie and Damari are. "Okay! Enough of that. Angel, what the fuck?"

"What?! You said it was "Show n' Tell" day." Angel pointed out. "I'm showin' you my best film, and I'm tellin' you that it scored me a win over that bitch, Tiffany Titfucker."

Damari looks about, progressively exposing her face and ears in the hopes that nothing from that video will be audible. As she hears Husk's voice, she turns to find him wiping the glass in the bar. Fantastic, just a distraction she requires.

"Ya know, not a very convincing interrogation scene." Husk commented.

Angel gets offended.

"Alright dickhead, what makes you think you have any right to insult my work to my fuckin' face?"

"You really going to sit there and act like these scripts ain't hot garbage?" Husk stated, turning to him.

Angel gasps and points at him.

"Fuck you. This is classy art."

He points to his porn as the wolf gangster slaps Angel's butt and opens his jaws towards it. 

"OH! FUUUCK!"

Damari and Sir Pentious immediately shut their eyes and cover their face. Niffty is lying down on the table, watching it, looking entertained. Husk walks over to Angel, holding the liquor bottle.

"That's bullshit. You get drunk and bitch about them all the time. Everyone likes to bitch to the bartender. I know everything about you and these motherfuckers at this point." he pointed out arrogantly.

Husk points to Sir Pentious, who flinches.

"That one. That one is an insecure buffoon whose lonely ass watches you idiots sleep!"

"Wait, what?!" Damari exclaimed in shock, looking at Sir Pentious in disbelief and horror.

Sir Pentious smiles nervously and leans back into his seat. Charlie looks uncomfortable, Vaggie gets angry and punches her fist, and Niffty looks at him with a smile. Husk then points to Charlie.

"Princess, is a bleeding heart who wants to solve everybody else's problems 'cept her own."

Charlie looks shocked and tries to deny it. This made Damari concerned, wondering if it had something to do with her parents.

"What?! No, I— what? Pffff, no, no."

Charlie turns away and crosses her arms. Husk then goes to Vaggie, who glares.

"This one judges everyone and everything because she hates herself."

Vaggie looks shocked and leans her head back with a groan.

"Aargh!"

Husk then faces Damari, who freezes.

"This one is a big fat wuss puss who's too innocent to even think about sex."

Damari was shocked and gets offended.

"Hey!!"

Lastly, Husk turns to Niffty, who's swinging her legs up and curls her hair with her finger. When Niffty notices him, she smiles and sends him an air kiss.

"And Niffty. Hehhh..." Husk scoffed and looked away. "You don't even wanna know what her deal is."

He then drinks the bottle. Angel kicks up his legs and starts laughing.

"You weren't kidding!"

He goes up to Vaggie's face and laughs before leaning back into the couch.

"Haha, wow! Kitten's got claws!"

Angel caresses Husk's face.

"Meow!"

Husk glares and turns his body to get out of Angel's grasps and points at his face angrily.

"And you!"

He scoffs and calms down.

"Don't get me started. I see right through you and all this bullshit, and how fake you are."

This made Angel exasperated.

"Oh, me? Fake?" he questioned, placing a hand on his forehead in fake distress. "Wow. I had no idea. Guess that's why I'm an actor, dumbass. And—"

He was cut off by the ringtone of his phone and Angel holds up a finger.

"Hold that thought."

He picks it up and walks away to answer the call.

"Hello? Uh, yeah I'm-I'm..."

Angel looks nervous as he twiddles his other hands and angry shouts can be heard from the phone. Hearing that made Damari concerned as Angel appears scared.

"No, no, I just, I... No, I-I'm not... But, uh... Yeah, I'll be right there."

Damari can still hear angry shouts from Angel's phone before he hung up. Though she's not the only one as Charlie is also concerned. Angel turns to the group nervously.

"Well, uh, looks like Val needs me for an... uh— emergency shoot."

Angel goes to walk out when Husk isn't convinced.

"Uh-uh, sure." he said before drinking.

Angel turns to Husk angrily and approaches him.

"You know what? Fuck you. I don't give a shit what some drunk ass bartender thinks a' me." he said, pulling out his pink sunglasses. "So why don't you just crawl back to whatever cave you came from, porn critic?"

With that, Angel flips him off before putting his sunglasses on. Husk growls and covers himself with his wings. Charlie gets off of the couch and runs after Angel.

"Angel! You can't leave yet."

Charlie manages to get to the doors first and blocks his way.

"We haven't finished our exercise for the day."she said, taking his hands and trying to lead him back to the parlor.

Angel pulls away.

"I'm sure you'll manage without me."

He goes to the door again, but Charlie blocks him again.

"There isn't much time left for the hotel to prove itself."

He places a hand on her shoulder.

"Dollface, it's my job. I know you want to fix everything, but unless you can fix my boss, there's nothing you can do."

Angel then leaves. Charlie slides down from the doors and groans, kicking up her legs.

"Uuugh, why is this so haaaard? What am I doing wrong?"

Vaggie and Damari approaches her.

"Well, I mean..." Vaggie started. "You're the princess of Hell."

"So?" Charlie said as Vaggie and Damari kneel down to her level.

"So, you don't really use the power that comes with that, which I love about you, but maybe you can... I don't know, command a little more... authority."

"You gotta at least be firm and strict." Damari added.

"Exactly." Vaggie nodded.

"But that's so mean." Charlie whined.

"It's not mean, exactly. It's... uh, aggressive kindness." Vaggie stated, gently punching her fist.

This made Charlie smile and stand up.

"Okay... I could be so aggressively kind to Angel's boss that I convince him to let Angel spend more time at the hotel!"

"Sure. Whatever gets you there, babe." Vaggie shrugged.

"Well, if you're going, I'm going as well. Someone got to be there for Angel. Plus... I have a bad feeling about that boss of his..." Damari said, muttering at the last part a bit.

"Perfect!" Charlie grinned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angel lies back on the bed and moans.

"Ohhh! Daddy, I... uhhhh?...

He stop at what he's doing and pulls out the script under the pillow. He reads it and scoffs, sitting up from the bed to confront Travis, Valentino, and other pornographers.

"Do you really expect me to memorize this whole script?" Angel asked, looking at all the pages of the script.

Valentino tosses away the script he was reading.

"Just improv it. Do you think anyone watches for the dialogue?" he said, looking at Travis.

Travis shakes his head with a nervous smile.

"Action!" Valentino ordered.

Angel lies back down on the bed and animal demons bursts in from the door, all dressed up in burglars.

"Oh, no. So many burglars, and only one me!" Angel acted, looking scared and horny as he covers himself in his robe. "Whatever shall I do? I guess I'll have to do all of you!"

He drops his robe to show off his naked body to the animal demons. A big red animal demon pins Angel to the bed.

"Ohh! So what are you gonna do ta' me?" Angel smirked.

Just as the demon goes to have fun with Angel, Angel looks over and sees Charlie and Damari walking inside. Damari is in her swan demon disguise as she appears uncomfortable while Charlie is curious and in awe.

"Charlie? Damari?!"

"Uh, my name's Rocky." Rocky said, looking confused.

"No one gives a shit." Angel said, pushing him off the bed.

"Oh, so this is where the magic happens." Charlie said, looking around.

"Magic? This is weird stuff." Damari commented, covering her eyes.

A female wolf demon removes her bra, causing Charlie to blush and look away.

"Oh, wow, that is—"

She gasps to see demon women grease the male demon with a bucket of oil. Angel grabs Charlie and Damari and pulls them away, putting on his robe.

"What in the ever-loving fuck are you two doing here?!" he whisper yelled.

"I am the Princess of Hell, Angel. And I go where I please." Charlie said dramatically.

Damari smiles amusingly and whispers up to Angel.

"We're here to get you some time off for the hotel. Now, where's your boss?"

Before they could go in further, Angel pulls the girls away and leads them to the doors.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You two are doing nowhere near Val—"

"Angel! What is the fucking hold up?" Valentino demanded, looking over at him from his chair.

Seeing Valentino in person made Damari narrow her eyes at him.

"I'm coming." Angel replied.

"Not off camera, you're not." Valentino said.

Angel opens the door and pulls them towards it.

"Please, please, just wait, wait until I'm done working and we'll talk about this, I promise. But first, you've gotta go." he said frantically.

"Angel, is everything alright?" Damari asked with concern.

Before he could speak, Valentino comes up from behind Angel and notices them.

"Aaaah, Your Majesty." he greeted.

"Oh, shit." Angel winced.

"Welcome to my humble sex dungeon. What can I do for such a—"

Valentino pushes Angel away and pushes up Charlie's red sleeve and licks her arm. This got Charlie and Damari disgusted.

"Uh, no, thank you." Charlie smiled nervously.

Angel glances away and scoffs in disgust.

"Mm! Lovely specimen!" Valentino grinned. "You don't want a role, do you? Because I could make you a star. Make us both richer than, well, your papito—"

Damari immediately gets in between them and pushes Valentino away.

"Hell no! You have no right to touch her that way nor will she ever be part of your sick porn videos!"

This shocked Charlie and Valentino, while Angel gets scared for Damari. Valentino then smirks, recognizing her and starts his act.

"Well, well, aren't you a pretty little bird? What it be your name?"

"Damari. Damari Valor. And that's all you're getting out of me." Damari narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms.

"Lovely name~" Valentino cooed.

He goes to stroke her face when Charlie gets in front.

"Uh, I-I'm sorry. Me and Damari have come to aggressively, kindly speak with you about Angel." Charlie said.

Angel waves his hand frantically, to which they got a hint.

"Later, of course. We wouldn't want to stand in the way of your work." Charlie said, rubbing her arm.

Valentino glares at Angel, who flinches. Seeing that, Damari glares at Valentino and immediately calms down when he faces them.

"Well then, make yourself comfortable, Your Majesty, Damari, and enjoy the show."

Valentino walks back to his seat to watch the act going as Angel runs back to the bed.

"Well, let's take this shit from the top."

Travis, the porn director, laughs and holds up the megaphone.

"Action!"

Rocky pins Angel back to the bed.

"Oh, wow, mister robbers, I sure hope you don't hurt with those... big guns of yours." Angel said as the animal demons surround him.

Damari gets disgusted and looks away, covering her face. Valentino glances at her and smirks before facing back the act.

"Don't move, you spicy little, uuh, cock sleeve or else I'll..."

Rocky was cut off by the boom mic being pointed down above their heads. They looked over to see Charlie talking to the boom operator.

"...We do trust exercises everyday in the morning..."

Damari turns and sees that and gets worried.

"What are you doing, Charlie?" she whispered.

"Cut!" Valentino shouted, turning over to Charlie and the boom operator. "What the fuck is going on with this?"

"Ooh, I'm sorry. Were we too loud?" Charlie apologized. "I was just telling him about the Hazbin Hotel."

"Not at all, Princess." Valentino fake smiled before glaring at scared Angel. "It doesn't bother me one bit."

"You know, this scene feels awfully violent. If you want help with the script, maybe I can pitch some scenarios that are more—"

Damari sees the chord on the ground that Charlie was about to walk into and tries to warn her.

"Charlie, watch your—"

But it was too late as Charlie trips on the chord. And the overloaded power charger catches fire. Charlie immediately backs away from the fire.

"Okay. Okay. Ah, ah okay, that's on fire. That-that, that's on fire."

Fire alarm goes out and all the crew and actors run away and scream.

"Oh shit..." Angel voiced, cowering on the bed.

Charlie tries to put out the blaze with the blanket. Damari helps everyone get away from the fire while trying to put them out, using another blanket. Valentino scowls angrily.

"Oh, god. Okay. Uh, do you have any—"

"Does anyone have a fire extinguisher?" Damari asked, looking around.

"I am so sorry. I ruined your movie. I ruined your movie." Charlie apologized, taking off her suit jacket and putting out the fire with it. "Oh, my God. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm s-s-s-s-s-sorry! Nooo!"

Valentino turns black and his eyes glow dark pink as he glares at Angel. He then flaps his jacket like moth wings, producing a red mist that puts out the fire. Valentino growls at Angel and Damari freezes and gets worried. Angel gets off of the bed and puts his robe back on.

"Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck."

"Oh, my gosh. I am so, so, so, so sorry. I— I can clean this up, I— I can—" Charlie stammered.

"Don't you worry your pretty blonde head about it. We have people for that." Valentino assured her with a fake smile.

He looks down at Angel, who flinches.

"Angel, can I see you in your dressing room for a moment?"

Angel follows Valentino from the sex dungeon as Charlie and Damari tries to reach out for him, seeing him scared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as Angel is inside the dressing room, Valentino slams the door closed.

"Val, I didn't know that—"

Angel tries to explain, but Valentino smacks him in the face. This earned Angel a black right eye.

"Val, I—"

Valentino grabs him by the collar of his robe and forces him up to his face.

"You really think you can have Lucifer's little bitch and kitty fight your battles for you?" he asked, throwing him against his chair.

Angel pants and gasps, trying to back away while hiding behind the chair.

"Arrgh! Val, please... I'm sorry they—"

Valentino growls and throws the chair away and marches up to Angel.

"You bring them here to protect you? To fuck with me?"

With red mist coming out of his hand, Valentino grabs Angel by the throat and flings him onto the sofa.

"Ow! Val, stop!"

"You think she can get you out of work?" he sneered, pink saliva coming out from his lips.

"No! No, that's not what I'm trying to do. No—"

Valentino growls and throws Angel across the room.

"You know they can't do anything."

He creates chains from the red mist and attaches it around Angel's neck to pull him up. Valentino then summons out a golden contract.

"I own you. Or have you forgotten that?"

At the end of the contract showed Angel's real name "Anthony".

"No." Angel whimpered.

Valentino then made the contract disappear and keeps a hold of the red chain around Angel's neck.

"When I say "come", you say?"

"Yes, Valentino." Angel said obediently.

"When I say "you are fucking 20 guys before lunch," you say?"

"Yes, Valentino."

"When I say "you better get those fucking cunts out of my studio," you say?"

Valentino strokes Angel's cheek.

"I..."

"You say?" Valentino asked again aggressively.

"Look, Val, they just get involved in everything. I'll tell them to leave. Just don't hurt them." Angel pleaded.

The red chain around Angel's neck disappears and Valentino holds him up in the air.

"I have killed bitches for less than this attitude you're giving me. You're lucky you make me money. Now, you're going to go get rid of them, and then you are filming all night. Get me?"

"Yes, Val." Angel nodded.

"Good." Valentino grinned.

Before Angel can get out of the room, Valentino grabs him and shoves him out of the door, knocking the mirror off the wall.

"Alright. Get your asses back on set, and we are taking this from the top!" Valentino said loudly, pushing Angel towards the bed roughly.

Seeing that made Charlie and Damari angry. Charlie transforms into her true demon form and Damari's eyes glows more red than ever as her hair floats along with Charlie's.

"What makes you think you can treat him like that?!"

"You motherfuc—"

Valentino crosses his arms, looking all smug just before the girls could attack him when Angel steps in front of them.

"Charlie! Damari! Just stop!" he yelled.

This made Charlie turn back to normal while Damari's eyes stops glowing red as they go back to her original light blue one as their hair stops floating. Valentino hums in interest at the sight of Damari's power.

"Interesting..."

"Angel?" Damari said with concern.

"Angel, what are you talking ab—" Charlie started.

"Charlie, Damari, leave!" Angel ordered, pulling them away from Valentino.

"But..."

"I didn't want you guys ta come here. I already asked you to leave and you didn't listen. You made things worse." Angel glared, voice broken.

"We just wanted to help you." Damari said softly.

"Well, you ain't!" Angel yelled. "You actually want to help me? Get the fuck out of here! Right now, and let me finish my work."

Damari couldn't believe what she's just hearing and glance over to see Valentino smirking. This made her angry as she faces Angel. Charlie begins to cry.

"I... I didn't..."

Angel glares and Charlie sobs.

"...mean to! I... I'm... I'm so sorry."

"How dare you, Angel?!" Damari shouted, surprising Charlie, Angel, and Valentino. "We're just trying to be your friend by being there for you! Clearly Valentino is just trying to make you—"

"Shut up, Damari!" Angel yelled back, getting angry. "If you want to be my friend, don't be! Just get the fuck out already, little whore!"

SLAP!!

Valentino seemed a little taken aback by it, and Charlie covers her mouth in fright as tears spill from her eyes. Angel had his face turned to the side, his left cheek bearing the impression of a scarlet handprint. Angel pats his cheek, seeming shocked. He turns to face Damari, who is already crying and appears hurt and enraged.

"Fuck you...!"

Charlie starts to cry, so Damari takes her by the arm and walks toward the doors. She turns to the camera and destroys it violently and brutally, letting out her frustration and anger. To Angel's horror, Valentino pretends to act angry and approaches them, seeming more interested in her than wanting her to leave just yet.

"Hey! You can't just walk away and destroy that fucking camera?! Do you know how much that costs?!"

Already by the door, Damari leads Charlie out and glares over at Valentino.

"So what? You're rich, right? Get another one." she sassed, turning away.

Just as she's about to leave, Valentino "roughly" grabs her by the arm and pulls her back.

"Oh, no you don't! You are going to stay here and pay for it!"

"Get off me!" Damari shouted, trying to pull away.

Charlie gasps and goes to save her when Valentino summons out his red smoke and blows it towards her face, causing her to cough. Valentino does the same with Damari and whispers into her ear.

"Stay here for a while. I can help you. I can help you get back to the human world. The Earth, I would presume?"

Damari was taken aback by that and became slightly lightheaded upon realizing that he was aware of her. But she can't let that chance pass her by after learning about getting her back home. However, given how he treated Angel, she is unable to trust him at the same time. Valentino cups her cheeks upon seeing that.

"I mean it. Let's make a deal, shall we? We'll talk about this after the filming. What do you say?"

Damari thinks for a moment and slowly nods, much to his delight.

"Good."

Valentino then makes the red smoke disappear as Charlie waves it off.

"Damari, are you—?"

"I'm fine. But... you should go. I... have to stay here and pay up the camera I just destroyed..." Damari said, slightly lying.

"But..."

"Don't worry about me. I'll... also make sure... Angel is doing alright."

Charlie hesitates for a moment and glares at Valentino for a moment until she eventually nods.

"Okay. Just... be careful."

She then closes the door. Damari looks down as Valentino chuckles and places his hands on her shoulders.

"Good girl."

Before she knew it, Damari was forced to sit down next to Valentino as they start the porn film. Damari doesn't bother to look as she had her head turned to the side to not face Angel or any of those things in front of her, still pissed off.

https://youtu.be/OkgXkkX4dwk

"And action." he said.

Angel gives Damari a regretful, sorrowful look. After demons apply Angel's makeup, he stands and smiles. He performs his pornographic deed while singing.

I'm not above a love to cash in
Another lover underneath those flashin' lights

 Angel lies down on the bed as the animal demon burglars surround him and pounces.

Another one of those ruthless nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Angel then pole dances. That actor that was watching him dance hold up a hand, to which Angel accepts it and kneels down in between his legs and smiles seductively at the camera.

I shoulda' guessed that this would happen
I shoulda' known it when I looked in your red-hot eyes

Valentino smirks. Angel glares over at Valentino and softens towards Damari, who was looking to the side the whole time, not bothering to see if Angel's alright. He looks back at the camera and opens his mouth.

Spewin' all your red-hot lies
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Angel gets lifted up by the demons as red smoke consumes the room. He holds up a hand as the red smoke trails up to his arm until they fully consumed him.

What's the worst part of this Hell?
I can only blame myself

Angel in his red bodysuit is standing in front of Valentino with red chains attached on his wrists. Valentino and Angel starts dancing sexually as Valentino keeps a hold of those chains.

'Cause I know you're poison
You're feedin' me poison
Addicted to this feelin', I can't help but swallow
Up your poison
I made my choice, and
Every night I'm livin' like there's no tomorrow

Angel lands on the bed with two male demons cuddling up to him and moneys all around them. He curls the paper money and inhales the cocaine from his bed. Then he jumps up to Valentino and wraps his legs around his waist.

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Any way you want me, baby

Then Valentino had sex with Angel. It switch to Damari looking uncomfortable as she attempts to distract herself by getting herself a drink. She didn't notice a familiar light blue clawed hand reaches up to her from behind.

Angel sits up from the bed as Valentino's shadow hovers over him. 

That's the way you got me, I'll be yours
My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

Angel gets tied up as Valentino approaches him and holds up his chin.

I got so good at bein' untrue
I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear

He then inhales his cigarette before blowing red smoke towards Angel's face. Angel shakes his head from the smoke and his vision gets blurry before he was blindfolded. Valentino sits back down and grabs his drink from Kitty. He then points to get them to start the film as Angel gets gagged before being pulled by the animal demons as they forces him between their legs.

I disassociate, disappear
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So far beyond difficult to resist another gulp

Angel's outfit now changed to his black latex suit as he starts dancing with two shadowy female fox demons as he keeps singing.

Yeah, I know it's poison
You're feedin' me poison

He flashes back to all the roughness and abuse he has to go through the filming and sex. He crawls across the floor, flashing his golden tooth. 

I'm chokin' from the taste and I can't help but swallow
Up your poison
I made my choice, and
Every night I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me, I'll be yours

He was then stopped by Valentino coming over and stands him up to face him before pinning him down.

My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

Angel grips onto his head in agony and quickly locks the door of his dressing room. He backs away as he goes up the balcony and wipes away the pink saliva from his lips from Valentino's kiss.

Poison, I'm drownin' in poison
I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow

He glances down and becomes alarmed to discover Damari, still disguised as a swan demon, standing between Vox and Valentino in fear. Valentino is stroking Damari's hair while Vox holds her hand. Damari turns away after looking up to see Angel. Vox withdraws from her hand as soon as he notices where she is staring, but not before whispering something to her. Valentino also separates from Damari and moves on. Damari then departed as well, needing time to clear her mind.

Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison
Wish I had something to live for tomorrow...

Angel falls to the balcony floor and closes his eyes as a fit of sadness overtakes him.
