Chapter Eight: Radio killed The video Star

Charlie paced back in forth in the lounge room as she tried to come up with a plan. “Okay… So the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year. No big deal. Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half.”

“But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right?!” Charlie says on the verge of a panic attack. “And next time when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, right?!”

Vaggie grabbed Charlie, calming her down. “Yes. We will.” Quasi agreed with his future sister in law. “She’s right Charlie we’ll get through this together.”

“Oh, please, ya had less then half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit.” Angel said. “Not helping, Angel.” Quasi said annoyed.

“Hey I’m just speaking facts sides… Angel’s phone buzzed as his phone was spammed with threatening messages from his boss. Look all I’m saying is… there ain't no silver lining this time.”

“Sure there is! We just...have to look a little harder for it!” Charlie said. “Well, while you're lookin', the rest'a hell's goin' nuts.” Angel said waving his phone in their faces.

“People are already freakin' out about the news. Look at what's happenin' in the Doomsday District.” He said scrolling down an article with the bottom showing a demon screaming in front of a fire. Suddenly a pink message popped up. It was from someone named… valentino. Charlie looked closer reading the text.

“Err, what is a...Donkey Show?” “Yeah and who’s Valentino?” Quasi asks. Angel seems to panic and turn the phone back around. “Aah, heh, nothin'.

“My boss, valentino is like that sometimes he’s just freaked out about the news too.” Quasi stared at him suspiciously but shrugged. He didn’t want to push Angel but he had a feeling he was hiding something. “Like I said, everyone's losin' their shit.” Angel said.

“Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?” Vaggie said. Charlie gasped.

“This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!” Angel laughed. “Cute idea and all, but you really gonna go out in all of this?”Angel says waving the phone. “Well, it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep.” Quasi said.

Suddenly, a massive explosion created a freshly made hole in the wall. “What the… A large zeppelin floated outside. “Show yourself Alasssstor.” A voice shouted from the blimp. He saw a large snake demon sitting at the help.

“Come and face - the snake demon pauses for a moment when he notices Alastor absent from the freshly made hole. He then looks to see him sipping coffee on the balcony of the second floor. “Oh there you are - Face my wrath!” The creature shouts. “I’m sorry… who are you?”

“Who am I? Who am I?!” The snake says looking offended. “I am the great Ssssssir Pentious Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villain extraordinaire!” Alastor dissolved into a black shadow as he descended to the ground materializing aside Angel, Vaggie, and Charlie.

Niffty the small but crazy maid appears on Alastor’s shoulder “Ooooooh, he's a bad boy.” Niffty says excitedly.

Alastor scoops Niffty up and drops her to the ground. “Aha, well if all that's true, you'd think I'd have heard of you.” Pentious looked at him annoyed. “I attacked you literally last week.” Alastor cocked his head to one side.

“We've done battle, like... 20 times.” Pentious said. “Well, you must have been really bad at this.” Alastor said. “Silence! Now cower!”

“For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal.” Pentious said.

Niffty reappeared on Alastor's shoulder. “Ooh! Wait, who are the Vees?” She asked confused.

“Oh, nobody important.”

“No body important! They’re only the three most powerful overlords ever!” Quasi said. “I’ve never met or seen any of them but I’ve seen vox before whenever I try to watch tv on my phone. I did see him once though… in person.

“I have a friend at VoxTech who hacked my phone so I could access tv from earth.” Alastor chuckled. Clever boy… but like I said… they’re nobody important.

—————————————————

Meanwhile deeper in the pride ring A large crowd stood in front of a store as they watch an advertisement on the tvs facing the window showing off a spy drone. “New VoxTek designer voyeur scopes, Peeping on the neighbors has never been more stylish. VoxTek! Trust us with your money!”

The Crowd immediately stampeded into the store coming out with boxes with voyeur scopes.

“This week's episode of "Yeah, I Fucked Your Sister, So What?" is brought to you by VoxTek. Trust us with your entertainment!” Said another Ad for a tv show. A large room with tvs showing off numerous consumers as appears as the words "trust us" repeats and overlaps. Meanwhile hidden away in the Vees tower Vox; the tv headed leader of the Vees watches his consumers laughing maniacally.

“Now that's good television!” . Suddenly his screen/ face shifts to reveal an icon of Velvette another one of the Vees.

Vox uses his powers to transfer the call to one of the other screens lining the room. The camera turned on revealing Velvette in her studio, her pink and purple hair in a large ponytail. “Hello “There, Velvette! How are you this hellish morning?” Vox says a wide smile appearing on his screen.

“Oh, cut the shit, Vox. I need you up here now!” She said urgently. “Whatever could be the problem, my dear?” Vox asked with a fake smile. “Your little boy toy is wrecking my apartment, while I'm trying to pull together a show and…FUCKING BITCH! Valentino screams off camera.

“Just get your ass here, NOW! ...Damn it, Valentino!” Velvette shouts as she ends the call. The call ends, and Vox's smile fades away as he gets up with an annoyed sigh, before fixing up his bowtie. “Oh god.”

“Here I go, Valentino.' Just another fucking day with Val. Hey-hey-hey. Fuck my life.” Vox says ashe walks onto the elevator platform as it Rises to the next floor.

—————————————————

Vox steps out of the elevator sighing as he puts on a smile for a crowd of reporters. They shout at him pointing their microphones at him asking him numerous questions. “Mr. Vox! What are your thoughts about the new extermination deadline?” Asks one of the reporters.

Vox smiles with fake sincerity as he addresses the crowd. “My dear people! We at VoxTek Enterprises have always been at the forefront of innovation. And now, with this new oncoming threat, we are shifting our focus, to your protection. We are pleased to announce… Vox reveals an ad that read VoxTek Angelic Security in gold letters.i

“VoxTek Angelic Security Is coming soon! Trust us, with YOUR safety.” Vox says using his left eye to hypnotize the crowd the same way he hypnotizes the rest of his consumers. “Uh sir, when did we begin working on Angelic Security?” Asks an intern.

“Thirty seconds ago.” Vox says as he walks off. “Try to get that bitch Carmilla on the books and cancel all my appointments today. I have a fire to put out upstairs.” And with that his body morphs into electricity and generates itself into the security camera on the wall.

—————————————————

Velvet stands in her studio glaring at four of her designers holding up dresses to show her for her show. “Ugh. No. Unacceptable. You're fired.”

However one designer pisses her off more than the other. “What is this? WRIST RUFFLES?! Is this 1750?! BURN IT like the witches who wore it!”

Vox appears next to her as she sends the designers away, rubbing her temple. “Velvette! I can see you're busy. Tell me, where's our hot-headed friend now?” Velvette glared at him.

“Up in his tower, waiting for a flat-faced prince to calm him down!” She says angrily. Vic sighs plastering another fake grin across his screen. “And uh, what's got him so out of sorts today?” He chuckled.

“Who knows? But he tore up my best model! And you know, the show can't wait for that unlucky bitch to pull herself back together!” She says as she called over one of her interns. “Melissa! Get over here!”

The intern known as Melissa nervously runs in front of the mirror as Velvette uses her overlord powers to change her outfit by swiping her hand, one after another until she spots the one she likes. “No. No. Hideous. I want to die. Eww. (gasp) Yes! That's the one.”

“Ahh, looks like you have everything under control here.” Vox says. “Of course, I do! Fuck you!” Velvette says flipping him off. “Now shoo! Take care of the piss baby!”

Vox goes upstairs to the tower and is greeted by two moth demons who open the door for him. Once inside he finds Valentino sitting on his couch surrounded by a fog of red smoke. When Val notices Vox, he sits up with fury in his glowing red eyes. “Fucking FINALLY!” Valentino growls throwing an empty glass.

“Kitty! Another drink!” The robot jester next to him nods as it quickly disappears reappearing with another drink. “Ugh! Can you believe what that piece of shit did?”

“THE UNGRATEFUL WHORE!!!” Valentino shouts tossing his drink at Vox, who side steps narrowly avoiding the glass as it shatters on the ground. “Uh, which whore are we talking about this time?”

“Fucking Angel Dust! Who the hell else would I be talking about?!” Valentino growled as he walked past him. “That fucking SLUT walked out on me!ME! I fucking made him!”

“Without me, he's just a bag of meat with some mildly entertaining holes.” “Oh! Angel quit?” Vox asked. “NO!”

“He didn't fucking quit! It's worse!” He said taking Vox's phone as he threw it at the wall. “He MOVED!!!”

“He thinks he can just walk in here, work, and then go home somewhere else? Can you FUCKING believe that?!” Valentino says walking to his personal closet as he tore it open. “He thinks he can run off and shack up with Lucifer’s bimbo daughter! And her freak of a brother.

Vox frowned. “Angel is... living with Lucifer's children?”

“YEAH! That BITCH Chuckie or Chandler, or I dunno- Something mannish like that and I don’t know what the brothers name is. They got this hotel and-Which of these makes me look sexier?” Valentino says holding up two long pistol guns: a long revolver and a semi-pistol. ”Heh. What are you doing, Val? You're not going over there.”

“That slippery twink is gonna remember who owns him. I'm gonna FUCK everyone in that rancid shit hole, I swear to god!” Before he can finish loading the gun Vox grabs him by the collar and shoves him to his face, clearly furious his screen bright.

VAL! Vox says his voice distorted. Vox calms down chuckling. “Hehe. Think about it…Vox say walking Valentino towards the window, taking away one of his guns and putting it in his pocket.

“Our brand is, perfection. And what do you think chasing whores around town will, do for our image?” Val frowned. “Um.....fuck it up?” “Right! Do you want people thinking you can't control your employees?” Val looked at him insulted.”No!”

“Exactly! And hey, you still have him under contract. He isn't going anywhere! SO...you should...Do nothing?” The sound of a winning slot machine played over Vox’s speakers.

“Great idea! Now that's why they pay you the Big bucks.” Vox says pinching the moth man’s cheek. “Ugh…but I really wanted to shoot someone.” Val says crossing his arms with a disappointed scowl as he He pulls out a cigarette placing it in his red cigarette holder as Vox lights it with his powers.

“Well, lemme call up the lowest earners this month.” He said walking over to a row of TV’s on the wall. “Ohh, you know me too well.” Val chuckles and blowing a red smoke ring in the shape of a heart. “Ya know....Angel isn't the only one spending time at this Ratty Hotel with the devil's Príncipe and princesa.”

Said Valentino grinning mischievously. “Oh? Who else is there? Someone who, owes you money?” Valentino Chuckles.

“Someone who owes us much more than money ...the Radio Demon is there.” Upon hearing those words, electricity courses through Vox's head, as his sharp claws dig into the desk so hard it leaves scratch marks. Vox gave a small ominous laugh turning to Valentino.

“What did you just say?” Vox said in a distorted voice. “You heard me.”

“Alastor... came back...and he is with Lucifer's children , and that wasn't the… FIRST FUCKING THING YOU TOLD ME?!?!?!” Vox shouted grabbing Valentino by the collar.

“Hey! killing Alastor is your kink.”Valentino says freeing himself as he turns on the tv showing a recording from one of their VoxTek Voyeur scopes.

It shows Alastor using his powers to attack Sir Pentious’s zeppelin, laughing maniacally as he hears Pentious’s screams “Arrgh! Oh! Please! Stop!” Sir Pentious pleads.

“Um...Alastor! I think he's had enough.” Charlie said. “I agree Alastor I think maybe you’re going a bit too far.”

“Nah. He's got a few more hits in him.” Angle joked. “Angel!” Quasi said shocked.

“What it’s a joke. I was joking.“Sir Pentious fell through the window of his zeppelin landing in front of Alastor face first on the ground below. Alastor twirled his staff smiling. “Thanks for another forgettable experience.”

Alastor says as one Pentious’s egg minions falls and cracks ope in front of Charlie. “Thank you... for letting your guard down! ”Sir Pentious says laughing as he uses his long tail to tear part of Alastor's coat. “Aha! Yah! Oh, shit... Sir Pentious says looking up to see Alastor's shadow transform in front of him as Alastor makes a noise similar to a wild elk.

A massive green explosion sends Sir Pentious flying off across the city screaming as he disappears from sight. “Well, it looks as though I need a visit to the tailor! Best of luck, chums.”

“Wait, you're leaving?! Alastor! We need your help! We need you to do your job.” Vaggie says.

“We need a wall.”Angle says gesturing to the hole in the wall. “Of course! Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?!”

With a snap of his fingers, black ink demons appear with construction tools as Alastor walks away. Angel takes an interest and looks at one of the larger muscular demons as he shoves Vaggie away as he approaches him.

“Hey, sweet cheeks. Whatcha doin' later? I love me a man with a giant ...tool.”

Valentino scowls at the scene, leaning his face against the screen. “See?! Look how he flirts with that guy, and he's not even paying! Who is that?”

“I'm gonna fucking kill his whole fucking family!” It was then that Val noticed the prince in the background… he was blushing. Val grinned. “Well, well it looks like Lucifer’s ugly duckling’s got a little crush on angel… this might prove useful… what do you think Vox?” However Vox was still focused on Alastor.

“Vox?” Valentino says slamming his fist on the table. “VOX!”

Vox was paying little attention as he watched Alastor leave his appearance static and out of focus.

“That FUCKER is back!” Vox said glitching. Valentino grins as he realizes the situation and walks to his lover. “Yeah! I thought he was gone for good too!”

“It's been seven years!” Vox growled. “You still pissed that he almost beat you that time?”Valentino says pinching his boyfriend’s cheek. “Uh, FUCK YOU.” Vox snapped.

“Just saying. “ said Valentino shrugging. “Things have changed a lot since he left town!”

“THAT'S for sure.” Valentino said. Smugly. “I gotta send a message of who's REALLY in charge of things now!”

Vox returns downstairs to his tv room as he hooks himself up to the mainframe as he prepares for a broadcast. He smiles as he starts to sing.

♫ Welcome home! ♫

♫ I'm gonna make you wish that you stayed gone!♫

Vox sings, electricity coursing through him as he sits in his chair, turning his face to the numerous screens.

Vox: ♫ Say hello to a new status quo, ♫

Vox presses a big red button, and 4 cords latch themselves to the ports on the back of his head, connecting himself to his TV networks.

Vox: ♫ Everyone knows that there's a brand-new dawn, turn the TV on! ♫

Director: Camera, speeds, rolling in three, two...

Chorus: ♫ Wel-come to the show! ♫

Vox appears as a news anchor as he talks about his hatred for Alastor. Little did he realize the broadcast was being viewed by everyone in hell… or at least everyone in the pride ring. Including a certain angelic prince. Quasi frowned looking at the broadcast on his phone as Vox appeared. Though he had a feeling Vox insulting Alastor on live television would only piss him off.

Vox: ♫ Top of the hour and we're discussing a certain has-been who has been spotted cavorting around town after a seven-year absence. Did anybody miss him, did anybody notice? More on tonight's program. ♫

Vox: ♫ So, the Radio Demon is back in town! ♫

Vox: ♫ Why is he hanging around? ♫

Vox: What does that mean for your family?

♫ Well, handily, I've got good news! ♫

♫ He's a loser, a fossil, and I don't mean to sound hostile, ♫

Vox & Chorus: ♫ But the demon is a coward! ♫

Vox: ♫ You can take that as gospel. Pulling my viewers? Impossible! I'm visual, he's barely audible! Stop giving him the time of day! ♫

Vox: ♫ Don't listen to a word he'd say. ♫

Vox ♫ I hope he had a nice vacay! ♫

Vox & Chorus: ♫ But he should have stayed away! ♫

Alastor who had just finished getting his coat tailored. notices the crowd watching Vox’s broadcast as exits the tailors shop. He smiles a mischievous grin as walks away as Vox continues singing.

Vox: ♫ While he hid in radio, we pivoted to video! ♫

He sings on screen pulling out an uncooked bloodied deer head from an oven caked in blood.

Vox: ♫ Now his medium is getting bloody rare! ♫

In a hallway in V Tower, Vox jumps, twirls and then pulls Valentino and Velvette into a hug

♫ Hell's been better since he split, ♫

♫ Where's he been? ♫

♫ Who gives a shit?! ♫

However to Vox’s displeasure and quasi delight as he tried to hold back a laugh. As Vox’s broadcast is taken over by Alastor. The Audio broadcasting from his radio station tower attached to the top corner of the Hazbin Hotel.

Alastor: ♫ Salutations! ♫

Alastor: ♫ Good to be back on the air. ♫

Alastor:♫ Yes, I know it's been a while since someone with style treated Hell to a broadcast. ♫ Quasi burst into laughter enjoying Alastor insulting Vox.

♫ Sinners rejoice! ♫

♫ What a dated voice! ♫ Vox sang

Alastor: ♫ Instead of a clout chasing mediocre video podcast. ♫

Vox: “COME ON!”

Alastor: ♫ Is Vox insecure, pursuing allure? ♫

Alastor: ♫ Flitting between this fad and that. ♫

Alastor: ♫ Is nothing working? ♫

Vox: “IGNORE HIS CHIRPING!”

Alastor: ♫ Every day he's got a new format! ♫

Vox: “YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE!”

Vox and Chorus: ♫ He's the shit that comes before that! ♫

Alastor: ♫ Is Vox as strong as he purports? ♫

Alastor: ♫ Or is it based on his support? ♫

Alastor: ♫ He'd be powerless without the other Vees! ♫

Vox: “Oh, PLEASE.”

Alastor: ♫ And here's the sugar on the cream. ♫

Alastor: ♫ He asked ME to join this team! ♫

Vox: “Hold on!”

Alastor: ♫ I said no, and now he's pissy! That's the tea. ♫ Quasi laughed so hard his side hurt. It was no wonder Vox hated Alastor. It also explained why Alastor had not been entirely thrilled when they’d been trying to film the hotel’s commercial.

Pissed Vox’s screen face starts to glitch and crash as he gets angrier. Vox: [Glitching.] ♫ You o-old timey PRICK! I'll show y-you suffering! ♫

Alastor: ♫ Uh oh, the TV is buffering! ♫

[Vox’s circuits overload as he crashes. Vox: [Signal breaking up.] ♫ I'LL DESTROY YOOOOU-YOU LIT-T-LE—♫ Vox's screen face and voice overload and crashes, before Vox involuntarily lets out an outburst that overloads everything from the TV screens to Valentino, Velvette's and even quasi’s phone which shocks him causing him to drop it but luckily it is unharmed. But everywhere in Pentagram City, suffers a citywide blackout with the exception of the Hazbin Hotel.

Alastor: ♫ I'm afraid you've lost your signal. ♫ Alastor says. Suddenly quasi gets an eerie feeling as his supernatural senses go off.

Quasi sees a blurred image of Alastor on his phone as he begins to sing.

♫ Let's begin. ♫

♫ I'm gonna make you wish that I stayed gone! ♫

Meanwhile in the tower Alastor begins to shift into his true demonic form with every sentence his antlers growing bigger.

♫ Tune on in. ♫

♫ When I'm done, your status quo will know it's race is run! ♫

♫ Oh, this will be fun! ♫

Alastor says an evil laugh before cutting off Vox's signal throughout the city, leaving the Overlord dismayed that Alastor is still as popular and powerful as he was last time. Vox: FUU-UU-UCK!

Quasi shrugs putting his phone back in his pocket as it returns to normal. “People sure do like to sing here.”

—————————————————

Meanwhile in The Vee’s tower Vox calls emergency meeting with Himself , Velvette, and Valentino to discuss the matter of Alastor as the robot val named , Kitty, pass out drinks to each of them.

“We have a problem. Alastor is getting close to prince and princess Morningstar, so our main concern now is ensuring that no deal is ever struck between Lucifer's BRATS and that smiling freak!”

“Well, how exactly are we supposed to stop it?” Velvette asked confused. Valentino sat putting glue on his revolver so he could add glitter and marbles to it.

“Put something inside them. That's how I get the bitches to behave.” Vox frowned. “Not helping… then again… didn’t you mention that you think that the prince has a crush on Angel?”

“Definitely I know one when I see one.”

“That could be useful for later… then again maybe someone on the inside isn't such a bad idea. Do you think Angel would?” Valentino shrugged. “That lanky prick won't even return my calls.”

Vox sighed. “We need someone who Little Miss Bleeding Heart would take in.”

“Someone...pathetic, desperate, with no direct ties to us?” Said Velvette.

“I employ every down on their luck loser this side of Hell. Who the fuck is left?” ValentinoI asked.

Vox grinned as he got an idea. “I think, I have... JUST the one.”

—————————————————

Back at the hotel, Alastor's black and white demons are currently fixing the hole in the wall as Charlie, Vaggie and quasi return. Charlie throws herself onto a couch, exhausted.

“Soooo? How'd it go?”

“Not a single new recruit.” Quasi says leaning against the wall. “Yeah well, who would wanna use their last days not fucking and fighting?”

As Angel checks his phone, Vaggi hears a knock on the front door. She walks over to it and opens the door, only to find Sir Pentious behind it, holding his hat.

“Why, hello my dear”- Sir Pentious is cut off by Vaggie punching him in the face. He falls as Vaggie points her spear at him. Sir Pentious cowers in fear with the tip barely at his neck. “Wait, wait, wait! I come in peaccce.”

“What are you doing here?” Charlie and quasi appear behind her back. “Vaggie, what's the problem?” Charlie gasps. “Oh! Hello again!”

“I didn't come looking for a fight. I uhh.. I heard that you're helping people, people who want to be better?” Charlie lets out a gasp and runs over to grabs his hand and leads him to the door of the hotel. Quasi watches the snake demon with suspicion. Like Vaggie he didn’t entirely trust him… and yet he couldn’t sense anything threatening about him.

He could sense if someone was a threat by reading their aura. And the snakes wasn’t threatening. It was a pale red with a tiny black spot in the middle but it wasn’t a cause for alarm. However what surprised him was when he flinched when Charlie grabbed his arm. The snake reminded him a little bit of himself.

Maybe he wasn’t as evil as he’d first appeared. “ You heard right! Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our- Angel appeared in the door cutting Charlie off.

“Are you fucking nuts? This chump was trying to kill us like literally six hours ago! And now you wanna bring him in here to live with us?” Frowned Angel. “Absolutely!”

“This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this slithery…slippery… special little man!” Quasi chuckled. He loved his sister. She always saw the best in people… and demons. He was a little bit more cautious but he was willing to trust in his sister.

“Aren't you supposed to protect this place?” Angle asked Vaggie. Charlie gives her the puppy-dog eyes, begging Vaggie to give Sir Pentious a chance to live in the hotel. Vaggie sighs giving in. “I guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine, or even with the war machine.

Sir Pentious' cobra head flaps down with depression, sighing. Charlie hugs Vaggie, lifting her up in the process and twirling her around once. “Oh! Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!”

Charlie says leading Sir Pentious into the hotel. “ Oh no darling! Thank you! You won't regret this.”

Angel looks at Quasi. “I can’t imagine you’re ok with this?” Quasi sighs rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. “I… I don’t know I mean he doesn’t feel or look like a threat.”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“I have this… gift; among my other powers. I can see people’s aura’s.” Angel grinned. “Wait seriously? What’s mine look like.

“It’s pink…though it’s a little faded… are you ok?” Angle looked annoyed. “Course’ I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be?”

“Are you sure? You seem… stressed.” Angel laughed. What are you a fucking empath to?” Quasi shrugged. “I guess. These powers started showing up the day we had the meeting with Adam.”

“His aura was gold and black though there was a lot more black than gold.” Angle patted him on the back. These new powers of yours must be tough to deal with. Do you want to talk about it?” Angel placed a hand on his shoulder.

Quasi pulled away. “I-I should go make sure Charlie’s doing alright. I just hope I’m right about this new guy. Angel shrugged. “Eh, I give him a week, tops.”

When they entered the hotel Charlie was giving a Sir Pentious the tour of the hotel, introducing Husk to him as well as the wall he blew up before it was fixed. “So, this is the bar and the bartender. This is the curtain, and this is the new wall after you broke the last one, heh, and oh! Oh! This is the”-Vaggie grabbed Charlie to calm her down.

“Babe, you don't have to show him every detail.”

“Yeah I think he gets it.” Quasi laughed patting Sir Pentious on the back. “Wow you are really slimy. Quasi said wipping his hand on his clean red pants.

“Sorry, I'm just so excited to have our first real guest!”

“Uh, what the hell am I then?” Angel said offended. “Well, you're an important part of our family here Angel, but you uhm, uh…Constantly make us look bad, sexually harass the staff, and have literally never once tried to improve?” Vaggie said cutting Charlie off.

“What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once.”

Quasi notices the sadness in Angels eyes. He feels bad but he knows he can’t help him unless he tells him the truth of what really bothering him.

Niffty sits on the carpet playing with Keekee; the hotel’s resident pet and the little soul of the hotel. However as Charlie and Sir Pentious approach Keekee hisses at the snake and scatters away while Niffty turns to greet them.

“Over here we have our maid Niffty.”

Niffty Gasps recognizing Sir Pentious. “The bad boy is back!” Niffty climbs onto Sir Pentious and holding him by the collar, as looks into his eyes with her single insane red eye and a very sadistic smile, which creeps him out.

“Never leave me again.” Niffty says in a creepy whisper. “Down girl. Quasi said prying Niffty off him. Sorry about that.

“We're about 80% sure she's harmless. Quasi said laughing awkwardly.

“And over here we have- Charlie is cut off as she nearly bumps into Alastor. “

Oh! Uh, Alastor! Our gracious facility manager! You've met our newest guest Sir Pentious…hehe… Alastor grins. “Ah yes!You're the one who ruined my coat!”

Alastor's eyes glow red in the dark with a violent temptation to rip him a part. “I definitely remember you now.” He said in a sinister tone. Sir Pentious gulps nervously. “Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson!”

Charlie Clears her throat. "How to apologize! The first step to becoming a better person is to admit when you are wrong, why don't you give it a try?”Sir Pentious looks nervous but gives Alaster an awkward smile.

“Yes..uhm.. Mr uhm.. Radio Demon sir, please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat.. uhm.. here.” As a token of apology, Sir. Pentious hands back the small fabric he tore from Alastor's coat. Alaster takes it and inspects the damage. “Ah-Ho!Not many people have been able to take even this much off me, it must have meant quite a lot to you.”

Despite being generous, Alastor spontaneously combusts the fabric tear into green flames, leaving Sir Pentious and Charlie stunned. Later they all sat in the living room as Charlie thought up a new activity.

“Now, with a new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other! So we are going to play a little game. “Everyone, follow me. My name is Charlie .” Charlie clapped twice.

“I like to sing!” She clapped twice again. “And when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing! “ Said clapping twice once more as she pointed at Sir Pentious. “ My name's Sir Pentious.” He said clapping twice.

“I like to build.” He said clapping twice a second time. “And despite my stupid Egg Bois, I think I'm very skilled!” When it was Angel's turn, however he looked disinterested, looking up from his phone. “This is stupid.”

“This- is not- stupid! *claps twice* It's just a game! *claps twice* Sir Pentious did it well so now please try to do the same!”*claps twice*

“I am too sober for this.” Angel said annoyed. “Well, get used to it and learn how to play, this is gonna be your whole day! Vaggie said clapping twice.

—————————————————

That night Angel lies down on his bed as he glumly looks at his phone and sees all his voice mails from Valentino. Angel sighs and begins to play them each one at a time unaware that someone was at the door listening.

Angel I understand tonight must’ve been rough for you. Charlie wanted me to check on you are you ok?” He got no response. “Hello?”

He pressed his ear to the door straining to hear inside. He heard a voice that didn’t sound like Angel. It almost sounded like… a voicemail. Though unlike the ones he got from his dad and Charlie these were far from kind or caring. Though the tone shifted friendly and apologetic to a barrage of screams threats of violence.

Valentino (voice message): “Angel baby, come home! It's not the same without you here, I miss you! Come back.”

“ANGEL, YOU BITCH! IF YOU DON'T COME HOME, YOU'LL BE FUCKING GREASY TRUCKERS FOR THE NEXT YEAR!”

“Hey, amorcito, I didn't mean to yell, but you know how crazy you make me- YOU FUCKING SLUT! Hey, Angie! About earlier-KILL YOUR WHOLE FUCKIN' FAMILY! Work's really stressful! LITTLE COCKSUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!”

Valentino: “You actually think you can change? Addict trash like you doesn't change. I'll see you soon, baby.” Quasi’s hands ball into fists. “So you his was what Angel had been hiding.

His boss had been sending him threatening messages. He didn’t know much about The Vee known as Valentino… what he did know is that he wouldn’t leave Angel alone until he returned home to him.

“Sorry, not now, Fat Nuggets.” He heard Angel say to her pet pig. Quasi froze realizing Angel was leaving the room. Before he could move the door flies open as he comes face to face with Angel.

He half expected him to be Angry but instead he just looked surprised. “How much of that did you hear?” Quasi hesitated. “All of it… why didn’t you tell me… or Charlie… we could help you.” Angel sighed.

“Walk with me. He followed him downstairs. The hotel was quiet and everyone was asleep. “I’m sorry you had to hear all that… but there’s nothing you can do… he owns my soul.”

“I know how you feel.” Angel frowned. “Not that I’ve ever sold my soul!” He sighed. “I was raised by a corrupt judge. “

“Yeah Charlie told me about him. He tried to burn Charlie at the steak. I’d’ve payed to see the look on his face when he realized she wouldn’t burn.” Quasi laughed. “Yeah it was a little funny.”

“Anyways… he wasn’t exactly the best father figure. He was abusive. Both verbally, mentally, and physically. “He hit you?” Angel said shocked. Quasi nodded.

“It’s fine. I feel better now knowing his soul is rotting down here in hell where it belongs.” “Yeah that’s good.” Said Angel smiling. “Hey you want a drink?”

Angel asked approaching Husks empty bar as he picks up a whole bottle. “I’m good.” Angel shrugs and starts drinking. However Angel pauses as he notices something out of the corner of his eye. Quasi looks in the direction he’s looking in time to notice something slithering away.

“What the?” Angel runs of down the hallway and he follows. They find finding Charlie's office door open as they take and takes a peek inside. There, they discovers Sir Pentious setting up a small camera in one of the bookshelves, a camera that obviously belong to Voxtech.

Angel jumps into action slightly drunk as he slams open the door open. “You slippery little shit!” Sir Pentious yelps realizing he’d not only been caught by Angel but the princess’s brother as well. Who stares at him arms crossed over his chest disappointed. “You're working for the Vees?”

“I fucking knew there was something shitty about you.” Sir Pentious denies everything. “I don't know what you're talking about!…whore bug!” He said with a smirk.”

Angel, sufficiently pissed off, tackles Sir Pentious on the ground. He punches him in the face before wrestling with him. “Quasi wanted to mad at the snake for insulting his friend and secret crush but he wasn’t sure what to do.

“Get your aggressively average body…OFF OF ME!” Sir Pentious shouted as he uses his hypnotic powers on Angel. Angel becomes momentarily stunned.

“Fuck!” [Angel stumbles back as he snaps out of it as he corners Sir Pentious. Right then, Charlie and Vaggie walk in.

“What's going on?” Charlie said yawning. “Shit.” Quasi swears realizing they’d woken his sister. “This little bitch is a traitor!” Angel says slurring his words.

“Preposterous! I would never betray you. You... are my best friends!” Sir Pentious said hugging Charlie and Vaggie. “Seriously we literally just caught you.” Said quasi annoyed.

“Yeah then explain this!”

Angel lifts off one of the books revealing the hidden camera, much to Charlie's shock. Sir Pentious realizes that his cover is blown and scurries away. Frightened. He brings out his wrist watch to make contact with Vox.

“Ah! Ah! Abort! Abort! S.O.S! Agent Pentious in need of immediate evacuation!” Vox immediately picks up. “Pentious? Wait… you were caught?!? It hasn't even been, a day!” Vox laughed.

“Please! You've got to get me out of here!” The poor snake begged. “I can't believe we thought you could handle even something this simple! Do us a favour, if they don't kill you, go ahead and do it yourself!”

“You MISERABLE FAILURE!” Quasi noticed tears in the snakes eyes. He almost felt bad for him. His aura was grey like a storm cloud. He hated people like Vox; who took advantage of others.

Sure Pentious acted like a villain but that was because people expected him to be… but maybe he didn’t have to be.

“I... I… just make it quick I guess…not that I deserve it.” Sir Pentious said as he lay on the ground, with Vaggie holding a spear ready to pierce his skull. “Gladly.” She said.

However before he could be put out of his misery, Charlie and quasi stopped her, as Charlie held out her hand to him.

“Pentious?”

Pentious opened his eyes to find Charlie smiling down at him, her hand extended.

Charlie: ♫ It starts with sorry, that's your foot in the door. ♫

Charlie: ♫ One simple sorry, spoken straight from your core.♫

Charlie: ♫ The path to forgiveness, is a twisting trail of hearts! ♫

Charlie: ♫ But sorry is where it starts! ♫

Sir Pentious: ♫ Who could forgive a dirtbag like me? ♫

Sir Pentious: ♫ I don't deserve your amnesty. ♫

Angel and Vaggie walked towards him Angel with a gun and Vaggie with her spear. Angel Dust and Vaggie: ♫ Can't we just kill him? ♫

Angel Dust and Vaggie: ♫ Shoot him and spill his blood? ♫ They said pointing their weapons at the frightened reptile.

Charlie: ♫ That's an option you could choose. ♫

Angel Dust and Vaggie: ♫ Works for us. ♫ Quasi blocked Angel as Charlie grabbed Vaggie spear.

Charlie: ♫ But who hasn't been in his shoes? It starts with sorry. ♫

Sir Pentious: ♫ Sorry. ♫

Charlie: ♫ Dig down deeper and say one sincere sorry! ♫

Sir Pentious: ♫ I'm so sorry! ♫ He said to quasi who gave him a forgiving smile and a pat on the back.

Charlie: ♫ And your journey's underway! ♫

Charlie and Sir Pentious: ♫ It'll take time to cover your/ my vast multitude of sins ♫

♫ But sorry is where it begins. It starts with sorry. ♫

“I hated that song!” Said Niffty who was standing in the hallway in her pajamas with a disappointed scowl. “Why are you so lame?!” Niffty says kicking his tail as she walks away.

“Not a bad boy.” She mumbles “You’ll get used to it.” Quasi said patting him on the back again as he let out a tired yawn. “Good first day! Let's get some rest!”

Charlie said as she and the others leave the room; the wrist watch communicator still on the office floor. Alastor appears from the shadows of the dark hallway with a malevolent smile as he picks up the watch using his magic to revive the watch.

“WHAT?!?” Vox says his face appearing on the watch. Vox pauses when he realizes that Alastor is the one calling him. “You'll have to try harder than that next time, ol' pal!” Alastor says crushing the watch with his bare hand as Vox incoherently screams at him as the watch becomes incapable of creating audio, before Alastor retreats back into the darkness, chuckling his smile the last thing to disappear into the shadows.
