That's Entertainment

The scene opens with a voiceover of the princess of Hell singing "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows".

Charlie: ♫ At the end of the rainbow, there's happiness. ♫

A human is shown falling down from the sky as a rainbow bursts upwards through the clouds.

Charlie: ♫ And, to find it, how often I've tried. ♫

Charlie is seen being told off by her father.

Charlie: ♫ But, my life, is a race. Just a wild goose chase. ♫

Camera pans over to where a figure was pointing at, which shows Hell being circled by Angels.

Charlie: ♫ And, my dreams, have all been denied. / Why have I always been a failure? ♫

A shadow of Lucifer looms over a disappointed Charlie as demonic arms and tentacles cover the screen.

Charlie: ♫ What can the reason be? / I wonder if the world's to blame. ♫

The Earth rotates as many eyes begin to surround it.

Charlie: ♫ I wonder if it could be me. ♫

The Exorcists are seen smiling deviously as they look down upon the souls they have gotten rid of. The scene turns to black as the camera focuses on the middle Exorcist's face and halo.

Charlie: ♫ I'm always chasing rainbows. / Watching clouds drifting by. ♫

The scene fades in on graffiti and signs that says "Fuck You, Heaven", "Punishment" and "Your Days Are Numbered" can be seen throughout Hell.

Charlie: ♫ My schemes are just like all my dreams. / Ending in the sky. ♫

Charlie heads towards the hotel's balcony as she releases fireworks that signals the rest of Hell that the Extermination has ended.

Charlie: ♫ Some fellows look and find the sunshine. ♫

A handful of demons are seen checking the area to see if the coast is all clear.

Charlie: ♫ I always look and find the rain. ♫

Carmilla Carmine opens the blinds to her room, revealing the display of fireworks. The camera then proceeds to show Zestial and Zeezi, as well as Lucifer himself hiding in the shadows, present in the same room as her.

Charlie: ♫ Some fellows make a winning sometime. ♫

At Porn Studios, Velvette takes a selfie with Vox whereas Valentino is not amused when he sees that he got a text from his employee.

Charlie: ♫ I never even make a gain. / Believe me. ♫

Odette and another demon pull out an angelic spear from a corpse and leave as the cannibals waiting nearby pounce on her dead body. Rosie then crosses out Franklin's name from the sign above their business.

Charlie: ♫ I'm always chasing rainbows. ♫

A demon can be seen cleaning up what's been left of the Extermination as other demons begin to freely walk about in the open.

Charlie: ♫ Waiting to find a little bluebird... in vain. ♫

Charlie looks back at the Clock Tower as it resets the timer for the next yearly cleanse.

/////

A sinner has fallen into Hell and has been transformed into a demon. He falls face-first onto the road and is surprised to see that he is still "alive".

Four-armed Demon: Aaaaah! Ugh. Huh? I'm alive! I'm alive-

He then gets run over by a taxi driven by Travis which Angel Dust walks out of. Travis snickers.

Travis: Heh. Thanks for the fun time, hot stuff!

Angel Dust: Yeah, yeah, listen. Keep this discreet, you hear me? I can't let it get out I'm offerin' my services to randos on the street! It was a quick cash grab. Ya got it?

Travis: Pfft! Whatever you say, slut! Muhehehehehehe!

Angel Dust: Ouch! Ooh! Such an insult! Let me know when you've come up with something creative to call me, you sack of poorly packaged horse shit! Tell the missus I said "hi", Shnuckums!

Travis defeatedly drives off.

Tobias: Well well, you had a eventful time.

Angel Dust looked behind him and saw Tobias. Tobias was adjusting his shirt and fixing his hair.

Angel Dust: Speak for yourself. Who'd you sleep with?

Tobias: Odette. For a science girl who's personality is...well, not 100% there. She can be lustful and horny as hell. It's actually kinda scary.

Angel snorted and laughed.

Angel looks behind him to see a vending machine for his namesake drugs. He goes for the angel dust and just as he gets a hold of it, a random demon runs by and steals his drugs.

Feathered Demon: Yoink!

Angel Dust: Hey!

Feathered Demon: Up yours, drag show!

Tobias: Fuck you too!

A boulder proceeds to fall out of the sky, crushing the feathered demon alongside Angel's drugs. Angel gasps.

Tobias: Ha! Take that, you jerk!

Angel Dust: Oh, my GOD!

Tobias: Oh...didn't know you cared.

Angel Dust: Of course I care!

He leans in to pick up what's left of his pack of drugs with a devastated look on his face

Angel Dust: MY DRUGS! Damn it!

A war ship can be seen passing by, destroying its surroundings.

/////

The camera zooms in on the war ship, revealing Sir Pentious and the Egg Boiz inside.

Sir Pentious: Ahahahahahahahahahahah! Those other cowardly ssssinners dare not hinder my territorial take over! A wise decision! The power of my machines are unmatched! No other demon can compare to the likesss of I!

Egg Boi #23: Gee! That was pretty swell, boss!

Egg Boi #666: Yeah!

Frank: You really showed them what for! I liked when you shot them with your ray gun!

Egg Boi #23: I wish he'd shoot me with his ray gun!

Other Egg Boi pats him.

Sir Pentious: At this rate, I will seize control of the entire west side of The Pentagram by day's end! And nothing, not a single beast in this inferno of suffering will be able to take back this empire from my constrictive grasp!

An Egg Boi suddenly pops on screen and pops open a bottle of whiskey onto Sir Pent's face. Sir Pent proceeds to swat said Egg Boi aside before throwing the squeezed Egg Boi aside as well.

Random Egg Boi: Oh, boy!

Sir Pentious: Hell will be mine! And everybody will know the name of Sir Pen-

Sir Pentious is interrupted by a scream coming from offscreen. Sir Pent and two Egg Boiz become surprised.

Cherri Bomb: EDGELORD!

Sir Pentious: Pardon?!

He looks around angrily and eyes the two Egg Boiz behind him.

Sir Pentious: Who said that?! What did you just say to me, you fried chicken fetuses?! Speak up!

The Two Egg Boiz: That wasn't us, Mr. Bossman.

A small bomb with a print of a skull on it breaks through Sir Pent's ship. It then lands right between Sir Pent and the two Egg Boiz. The bomb proceeds to blow up, leaving red smoke behind.

Sir Pentious coughs and hacks.

As the smoke clears up, the owner of the scream is revealed to be Cherri Bomb as she prepares another bomb in hand.

Cherri Bomb: You lookin' for a fight, old man?!

She begins to juggle around her cherry bomb.

Cherri Bomb: Why don't you get that tinker toy bullshit off my turf before I smash it?!

She proceeds to throw and catch the bomb.

A large pipe falls on top of an already dead Egg Boi, crushing him as Sir Pent and Cherri momentarily look at the carnage.

Cherri Bomb:....More!

Sir Pentious: Oh! You wanna go, missy?! Well, I'm happy to oblige! Ahahah!

Sir Pentious is then backed up by his henchmen of Egg Boiz.

/////

The logo for 666 News is shown on a black background, which is followed by the day's newscast.

Katie Killjoy: Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy.

Tom Trench: And I'm Tom Trench! Chaos out at Pentagram City today as a turf war is raging on the west side!

An image of Sir Pentious trying to be hip, followed by a drawing of Cherri flipping the bird is shown.

Tom Trench: Between notable kingpin, Sir Pentious, and self-proclaimed spunky powerhouse, Cherri Bomb!

Katie Killjoy: That's right, Tom! After the recent Extermination, many areas are now up for grabs! Demons all over Hell are already duking it out to gain new territory!

A live clip of Cherri and Sir Pentious's clash is shown.

Tom Trench: Those two seem to be really going at it, huh?

Katie Killjoy: Looks like they're fighting tooth and nail for that hot spot!

She fishes out a tooth and a nail respectively from her mug of coffee and proceeds to swallow said tooth and nail.

Tom Trench was looking over at the live broadcast focusing on Cherri.

Tom TrenchD And I'd sure like to nail her hot spot! Hoohoo!

Katie Killjoy: Haha, you are a limp-dick jackass, Tom! Or should I say -

She pours scalding hot coffee onto his crotch.

Katie Killjoy: No dick?

Tom Trench: Ugh...not again!

Screen shows a picture of Charlie as Tom can still be heard whimpering in pain in the background.

Katie Killjoy: Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with the daughter of Hell's own head honcho who's here to discuss her brand new passion project! All that and more, after the break!

She crushes her mug in her hand and turns to Trench who's still in pain.

Katie Killjoy: Suck it up, you little bi-!

The news cast cuts off and goes on a commercial break.

/////

Y/N hummed as he fixes Charlie's bow.

Vaggie: Okay! You remember what to say?

Charlie: Yes! Let's do this!

Max:...Yay.

Vaggie: Just, look at me and I'll mouth it to you.

Charlie: Come on, Vaggie! I know what to say! I just feel like we need to...I don't know.

Charlie grabs and throws a doughnut away.

Charlie: Make things sound more exciting! Hooo! What if I si-

Y/N / Vaggie: Sing a song about it?

Charlie: You knew I was gonna say that!

She boops Vaggie and Y/N on the nose.

Vaggie: Because we know you. But, please don't sing! This is serious!

Charlie: Well, you know, I'm better at expressing myself and my goals through song!

Max: Uh, if I might add something...? I think, um, Charlie's got a point. Music... it has this way of reaching out, doesn't it? Touching hearts in a way words alone sometimes can't.

Charlie's eyes light up at Max's words. Charlie stands on the table where Razzle and Dazzle are happily munching on doughnuts, watching her.

Vaggie: But, life isn't a musical.

Y/N: Well...You all make good points. But under the circumstances and knowing Katie Killjoy...let's play it safe.

Charlie: Fine. But, I have these other ideas of what to say!

She starts bouncing a bit as she shows Vaggie a piece of paper.

CharlieS The highlighted bits are the best part!

Vaggie: Uh, it's all highlighted.

Y/N, observing Charlie's unbridled enthusiasm and Vaggie's bemused reaction, chuckles softly.

Y/N: Charlie, your enthusiasm is...contagious, to say the least. But maybe Vaggie's got a point. If everything's highlighted, then we need to focus on what will hit home the hardest with your audience. Think of it as... curating your passion.

Max: Is this a drawing...?

Charlie: Yes! That's the happy ending, see?! Everyone smiling and happy in Heaven!

Vaggie: I don't think it's that simple. And Y/N has a point. Just please follow the talking points we went over. And do not sing!

Charlie: Okay, fiiiine. I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills!

Charlie salutes Vaggie, Y/N, and Max as she walks over to Katie Killjoy.

Y/N: I love her...but I know I ain't getting back into Heaven.

/////

Charlie: Hiii! I'm Charlie.

Charlie tries to go for a handshake.

Katie Killjoy: Katie Killjoy. I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but that would be a lie. And you can put that away. I don't touch the gays. I have standards!

Charlie: Yeah? How's uh... how's that working out for ya?

Charlie turns to look at the "Hell's #1 News" neon sign behind her.

Katie Killjoy: Look, my time is money. So, I'll keep this short.

She proceeds to poke Charlie's chest and nose.

Katie Killjoy: You're not here because we wanted you here. You're here because Jeffrey couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment.

A billboard of Jeffrey's cannibalism cooking show titled "It's Dahm Good!" can be seen in the background.

Katie Killjoy: You might be some royal big shot, but that doesn't mean shit to me. I'm too rich and too influential to give a flying fuck about what some tux-wearing demon "princess" wants to advertise.

Tom can be seen shaking his head in disapproval as Katie boasts about her wealth and influence to Charlie.

Charlie: But, I-

Katie Killjoy: So, don't get cute with me, honey, or I will fucking bury you!

News Staff: And we're live!

Killjoy rushes back to her desk, holding papers while cracking her neck.

Katie Killjoy: Welcome back! So, Charlotte!

Y/N, Vaggie, and Max watched Katie.

Y/N: What a repulsive woman!

Max: Despicable...

Charlie: It's... Charlie.

Charlie smiles nervously as a spotlight flashes her way.

Katie Killjoy: Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about!

She tries to hold in her outburst by clenching her pen.

Charlie looks around as Vaggie and Y/N motion her to go on.

Charlie: Well, 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.

Killjoy spots a slug and stabs it with her pen, the slug's blood bursts all over.

Charlie: Hell is my home and-

She gets slug blood splattered across her cheek which she then wipes off.

Charlie: You are my people. We... we just went through another Extermination.

Vaggie is seen giving Charlie two thumbs up. Y/N held up a sign that said "You can do it!". Max smiled and waved as Killjoy quickly starts to lose interest.

Charlie: We lost so many souls, and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. No one is even given a chance! 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? Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through... redemption? Well, I think yes! So, that's what this project aims to achieve! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind! A hotel that rehabilitates sinners!

Her broadcast is being shown at The Radio Shack, which many other demons are also watching by the streets and everywhere else in Hell.

Charlie: Y'know? 'Cause hotels are for people passin' through... temporarily...

Y/N: Yay! Cheers for Charlie!

/////

Lizard Demon: Ahahaha! IS this girl for real?! She thinks- You hear what she thinks?! She thi- HAHA! Ah, she's nuts.

He walks out of The Kaiju Klub with his friends, Zeezi and another demon.

/////

Charlie: I think it'll serve a purpose... a place to work toward redemption... yay...!

Y/N clapped for her.

/////

Back to the demons watching her broadcast from The Radio Shack. A mysterious figure walks up to see her broadcast alongside a bunch of other demons watching, including Crymini.

/////

Cameraman Demon: Stupid bitch.

Vaggie punches the cameraman square in the face.

Charlie: Look, every single one of you has something good, deep down inside. I know you do! ...Maybe I'm not getting through to you.

Max: What?

Y/N: She wouldn't.

Razzle and Dazzle are then alerted that Charlie's about to sing and that she may need their back-up vocals.

Vaggie: She would...

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. Meanwhile, back at The Radio Shack, Alastor and his shadow can be seen tilting their heads curiously as their smiles widen.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Charlie ends the song, rather exhausted as everyone in the news station looks at her with disgust and disbelief.

Y/N: Bravo!

Top Hat Demon: Wow! ...That was shit!

Y/N bashed the Top Hat Demon across the face with a chair.

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

Blue Flame Demon: Booooo!

Y/N threw a knife at the Blue Flame Demon's face.

Blue Flame Demon: AHHHH!

Katie Killjoy: 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 four patrons already, who believe in our cause and they've shown incredible progress!

Katie Killjoy: Oh? And who might they be?

Charlie tries to look smug and confident.

Charlie: First off, we have Y/N, who has been instrumental in guiding our patrons towards positive change. They've shown incredible insight and patience.

She takes a moment to let that sink in before continuing, her confidence growing with each word.

Charlie: And then there's Max. Shy and reserved, yes, but he's kind and genuinely cares for everyone.

Taking a breath, Charlie's expression softens as she mentions the third patron.

Charlie: "Lastly, we have Tobias—playful, energetic Tobias. He might seem like he's all jokes, reckless, and laughter, but he's shown incredible progress.

Katie: Oh? You think three nobody's are gonna prove your point? Who's even the their patron?

Charlie: Oh, just someone named... Angel Dust!

Tom Trench: The porn star?

Katie Killjoy: You fucking would, Tom! In any case, non of them are even an accomplishment. I'm sure you could get the hooker to do anything with enough booger sugar and lube.

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

News Staff: Breaking News!

Killjoy shoves Charlie off her desk.

Katie Killjoy: 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 Dust stepping on an Egg Boi and throwing a grenade over at Sir Pentious with visible laughter in the background as Charlie stares at the screen in defeat. Tobias was holding an axe and gun as he was shooting and crushing Egg Boiz.

Charlie: Oh... shit.

Angel Dust: I'm a bad person!

Tobias: I love this!

Y/N slowly covered his face, let out a frustrated scream.

Katie Killjoy: "Oh, shit" indeed! It looks like the one who just joined the battle is none other than porn actor, Angel Dust!  And someone most likely from this failed project! What a juicy coincidence! You must feel really stupid, right now.

Killjoy and Trench proceed to laugh at Charlie.

Killjoy and Trench: Ratings!

Charlie stares at the live feed in distress and attempts to block it from the audience's view.

Charlie: Don't look at this!

Katie Killjoy: Well, it sure looks like your little project is dead on arrival. Tell us, how does it feel to be a total failure?

Charlie: Yeah, well...How does it feel that I got your pen, huh?! ...Bitch!

Everybody instantly stops laughing while Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench give her the death stare.

Charlie: Ehehe... Oops.

Tom Trench runs off set.

Killjoy's demonic form reveals itself as she looms over Charlie from the shadows.

Y/N: We should go.

/////

Purplish red smoke transitions into Angel Dust, Tobias, and Cherri Bomb fighting Egg Boiz.

Cherri Bomb: Heyyy, thanks for the back up, you two!

Angel Dust: Hahaha!

Cherri Bomb fires a rocket launcher.

Angel Dust: You kiddin'? This is the best action I've seen in ages!

Tobias: Plus, I love blowing things up!

Cherri Bomb: Where've you been, anyway Angie? I thought you up and died or some shit.

Angel Dust: Oh, I wish! I've been staying at this crappy hotel on the other side of town. Some broads and Tobias's friends are lettin' me stay rent-free if I play nice.

They both cover their heads as the explosion sets off behind them, then grin at each other as they jump into the field.

Angel Dust continues to shoot down Egg Boiz with what seems to be a drum mag M1928 Thompson.

Angel Dust: Y'know, no fights, no pranks, no "problematic language"... Her words, not mine.

He steps on a broken tile, launching an Egg Boi airborne and shoots him from behind as he sighs again.

Angel Dust: These crazy bitches are no fun! I've been clean for two weeks!

Tobias: I know their Y/N's girlfriend's and all, but dame they take the fun out of everything!

Cherri Bomb: Ho-ly shit!

Tobias: At least your fun. Y/N needs a fun chick in his life.

Angel Dust: Yay!

Angel Dust then gets chained and thrown aside by Sir Pentious.

Angel Dust: Ohh!~ Harder, Daddy!

Sir Pentious however was taking it seriously as he gasps.

Sir Pentious: Son?!

Angel lowers eyebrow as Cherri kicks Sir Pentious to the side, and Tobias whacked him with a wooden board.

Sir Pentious: Grr! You whores have no classss! In war, The side remembered is the side with the most ssstyle!

Cherri Bomb: Or the side that ain't dead!

Tobias: Ha!

Angel Dust: Speakin' a style, is your hat like, alive or something?

Tobias: Ya. It's got an eye and moving around.

Sir Pentious: Oh! Well, that's none of your GOD DAMN BUSSSSINESS! Now, is it?

Angel Dust: Hah, would that make your hat the top and you the bottom?

A sign that says "Loser" can be seen in the background pointing at Sir Pentious as Tobias acknowledges the roast.

Tobias: Oooooh!

Sir Pentious: I'm going to blow you to bitssss!

Angel Dust: Hm, kinky!

Sir Pentious: Oh, not like that! Pervert!

Angel notices an Egg Boi with a tentacle launcher which causes him to push Cherri and Tobias to the side out of fear.

Angel gets tangled up in all the tentacles.

Sir Pentious: Not so cocky now, are we?!

Angel Dust: Y'know, you really gotta watch what comes outta ya mouth. I've been making these sex jokes the whole

His limbs gets pulled on as Sir Pentious reveals a drill which jump starts.

Angel Dust: TIME!

He reveals his third pair of arms carrying a gun.

Angel Dust: And it's obvious ya ain't catchin' on. I mean, it's just sad!

He shoots it at Sir Pentious.

Cherri Bomb: So, think you're gonna get in a lotta trouble for this?

Angel Dust: Eh, what's one little brawl gonna cause?

/////

Charlie and Killjoy can be seen trying to duking it out on each other like it's some sort of WWE match while a fire alarm goes off in the background with Trench entering the scene, covered in flames.

Tom Trench: WHY WON'T ANYONE HELP ME?!

/////

Cherri Bomb: Glad you haven't changed! You know you're one of my favorite guys to party with!

Angel Dust: You know it, sugar tits!

Tobias: How'd you get that nickname?

Cherri Bomb: I let Y/N lick sugar off my tits~.

Tobias: Ah....

Cherri Bomb takes out one last bomb.

Cherri Bomb: You ready to finish this?

Angel Dust: Born ready, baby!

Tobias: Hell ya!

Angel and Cherri pounce onto Sir Pentious and his army as they prepare to clash, Charlie and Killjoy are still at each other's throats screaming, Trench is still on fire, screaming in agony. The camera shows all the characters present, screaming as the scene turns silent.

/////

The royal family limousine can be seen driving back to the hotel. Charlie can be seen hugging her knees and looking out the window when her jacket is ruined after Katie Killjoy attacked her. Y/N was rubbing her shoulders. Y
Max was sitting In silence while Vaggie sits next to him, glaring furiously at Angel Dust and Tobias.

Max: No amount of therapy will make this day ok.

Charlie sighs as Vaggie's eye twitches at Angel Dust, who can be seen amusing himself by playing with the car window roller repeatedly. Tobias was drinking a juice box he found.

Vaggie scrunches up her face. Y/N noticed and rubbed her shoulders.

Y/N: Look, if you're feeling frustrated, just focus on my hands and hold them if you want too.

Vaggie kissed his fingers and kept glaring at Angel Dust and Tobias.

Angel Dust:...What?

Vaggie: "What?", "WHAT?!" What were you DOING?!

She squeezed Y/N's hand, but to his discomfort and pain.

Angel Dust: We owed our girl buddy a solid! Who is also Y/N's other girlfriend! Isn't that a "redeeming quality"? Helping friends with stuff?

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

Angel Dust: Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred. Ehahahahahah!

Tobias: And besides, everyone here is already dead where can they go from there?

Tobias proceeds to play with the button of the car window roller.

Vaggie throws an unfolded pocket knife at the window roller. She kept holding Y/N's hand to the point he started trying to pull the way and could feel bones cracking.

Angel Dust: 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 tryna go clean? It just throws out my entire persona!

Tobias: Plus! I was board! I can only do so much at the hotel before it gets old! And my girlfriends were busy!

Vaggie: Your credibility? Your board! What about the hotel's?! Your little stunt made us look like a fucking joke!

She squeezed Y/N's hand tighter and he started sobbing lightly. Vaggie heard his sobbing, looked at him and saw how tightly she was holding his hand and let go.

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

Tobias looked greatly disturbed by that

Angel Dust: Great! Now I'm bummed thinkin' about it! This thing have any liquor?

Tobias: I already tried. Nope.

Vaggie was rubbing Y/N's hands and fingers.

Vaggie: Can you please just try to take this seriously?!

Angel Dust: Fine, I'll try. Just don't get your taco in a twist, baby!

Y/N: Was that sexist or racist?

Angel Dust: Whatever pisses her off more. Is there seriously no liquor in here?!

Y/N sighed and looked at Tobias.

Y/N: Tobias, I'm surprised at you. How could you?

Tobias: How could I what? Not enjoy being here! Dude! I love it here! Nobody here is a stuck up bitch! I've never felt more alive! You and Max do what you want! I just ain't leaving.

Y/N groaned. Vaggie returns to sit next to Y/N as she crosses her arms.

Vaggie: I'm gonna kill them.

Angel Dust: Too late, toots. Wait! Would that make me double dead? Hah, and where exactly do I go? To Double Hell? Hahahahahahahaha! Sorry, you're stuck with me, bitch - get used to it.

Vaggie: ¡Con una mierda, malparido hijo de-! (For fuck's sake, you bastard son of-!)

Y/N rubbed her shoulders.

Y/N: There there.

Max was about to open his mouth but stopped.

Max: Where do demons go when they die?

Angel Dust: Beats the hell outta me. Listen, who cares if some jack-offs got hurt? Most of 'em are ugly freaks. Look around! You got a bunch a fuckin' Harlequin babies down here!

Vaggie: You're one to talk.

Angel Dust: Hey! This body is flawless! Everyone wants summa me, and I've got the creepy fan letters to prove it!

Takes letter from in between his chest floof and reveals it to Vaggie that features a small picture of a dirty naked old man, who ironically has a "No Angel Dust" tattoo, smothering his mouth on an Angel Dust body pillow and a message at the bottom saying "Show me your feet!! -Bryrin, #1 Fan/Critic".

Vaggie: Grrr...

Y/N: There's no excuse what you and Tobias did. It was uncool, y'know, Angel.

Vaggie: "Uncool"?! After that train-wreck, there is no way anyone is gonna wanna stay at the hotel! All thanks to him, Tobias and their selfish bullshit!

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

Vaggie motions "What do you think?"

Angel Dust: Ah...well, shucks.

Charlie: Hey, come on. We don't know if things are over yet! Try to relax, Vaggie. I-it'll be okay!

She puts a hand on Vaggie's shoulder, and another on Y/N's shoulder. Y/N pulled them and Max in a group hug.

Vaggie smiles at them softly. She kissed Y/N on the cheek.

/////

The limousine arrives at the hotel as the hotel door opens, revealing a very old and dirty establishment.

Vaggie throws herself on the couch, facing the wall. She grabbed Y/N and pulled him down with her.

Y/N: Tired?

She nodded.

Angel Dust was rummages through the fridge leaning by the wall and grabbing a box of Popsies.

Angel Dust: Eh, it's probably a good idea to get some actual food in this place. Y'know, to feed all the wayward souls you got in here! Ahahaha! Ahaha...! eh... ah...

He closes the fridge door as he tries to comfort Charlie but decides to back off.

Charlie exits the hotel and tries to contact her mother.

Charlie: Hey, mom. I know I keep calling and you must be busy... Really busy... But, um, the interview didn't go well, and... I don't know if I'm ever going to make a difference. I don't know what I'm doing. I could really use some advice, mom. I... I think dad was right about me... Ahah, oof. Eh, anyway... I'll stop talking before this gets long. Love you, bye...

Charlie walks back in and runs upstairs crying. Y/N noticed and looked worried

Y/N walks into the shared room and notices Charlie sitting on the bed, tears streaming down her face. Concerned, he approaches her gently.

Y/N: Hey, Charlie, are you okay?

Charlie sniffles, wiping away her tears before looking up at Y/N with a mixture of frustration and sadness.

Charlie: I don't know, Y/N. I just... I'm starting to doubt myself. Maybe this whole hotel idea was stupid. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.

Y/N sits down beside her, offering a comforting presence.

Y/N: Hey, hey, don't say that. You're not a failure, Charlie. Running this hotel was never going to be easy, especially with everything we're trying to accomplish.

He places a reassuring hand on her shoulder, trying to offer some solace.

Y/N: And even if things are tough right now, we're in this together. You're not alone in this, Charlie. We'll figure it out, okay?

Y/N wraps his arms around Charlie, pulling her into a comforting embrace as she continues to cry. He holds her gently, offering silent support and understanding as she lets out her emotions.

Y/N: It's okay, Charlie. Let it out. I'm here for you.

Charlie sniffled and cried a little. Y/N gently tilts Charlie's chin upward, their eyes meeting in a silent understanding.

In that fleeting moment, their lips meet in a soft, tender kiss, a wordless exchange of comfort and reassurance.

They kissed each other deeply and passionately and slowly began removing each other's clothes.

/////

Twelve minutes later

Max was sitting on the couch as a sudden knock can be heard from the other side of the door, surprising him.

Walked to the door and opened it up.

The mysterious figure watching the performance from before can be seen standing before him and Max, knowing who he is, reacts with extreme shock.

Alastor: Hel-

He gets door slammed in front of him. Max proceeded to lock the door.

Max: Hey, Vaggie? Tobias?

Vaggie: Whaaaat?

Tobias: Ya?

Max: The Radio Demon is at the door!

Vaggie: What?!

Angel Dust: Uh... who?

Tobias: I don't get it.

Max: What should I do?! I already locked the door! But he's just standing there!

Vaggie: Uh, well- Don't let him in!

Tobias decided to disregard Vaggie's advice and opens the door for Alastor.

Max gulped nervously.

Alastor: May I speak now?

Tobias: Sure.

Alastor: Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, gentlemen! Quite a pleasure!

Alastor let himself in.

Alastor: Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on a picture show, and I just couldn't resist! What a performance! Why, I haven't been that entertained since the stock market crash of 1929! Hahahahaha, sooo many orphans...

Vaggie holds a harpoon towards his chest.

Vaggie: Stop right there, cabrón hijo de perra (bastard son of a bitch)! I know your game and I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here, you pompous cheesy talk show shitlord!

Alastor uses his finger to move the harpoon away.

Alastor: Dear, if I wanted to hurt anyone here...I would've done so already...

The screen distorts; cut to Max and Vaggie staring at him perturbed as the distortion ends.

Alastor: No! I'm here because I want to help!

Max: You...are?

Alastor: Help! Hahaha, hello? Is this thing on? Testing, testing!

Alastor's Mic: Well, I heard you loud and clear!

Max and Vaggie looked at each other confused. Just then, they saw Charlie and Y/N walking downstairs. Charlie looked like she was struggling to stand up straight. The couple's eyes widened as they saw the radio demon and Vaggie explained everything.

Charlie: Um, you want to help? With...?

Alastor teleports behind Charlie and Y/N with his shadow.

Alastor: This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel! I want to help you run it.

Y/N: Buuut... why?

Alastor: Hahaha, why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades. My work became mundane, lacking focus,

He shoves Vaggie, Max, and Y/N offscreen.

Alastor: aimless! I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Hahaha!

Charlie: Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment...?

Alastor: Hahaha! 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 you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?

Alastor: Hahahahaha! Of course not! That's wacky nonsense! Redemption, oh the non-existent humanity! No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners! 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 wanna help me if you don't believe in my cause?

Alastor: Consider it an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself! I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure!

Charlie: Riiiight.

Alastor: Yes, indeedy! I see big things coming your way and who better to help you than I?

Angel Dust: Uh, 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 me!

Angel Dust shrugs cluelessly.

Y/N: The Radio Demon. One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?

Tobias shrugged

Angel Dust: Eh, not big on politics.

Y/N: Oh! I love it when Vaggie goes story mode!

Vaggie: Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell, seemingly overnight. He began to topple Overlords who have been dominant for centuries. 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. 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 Dust: Ya done? He looks like a strawberry pimp.

Max: A what now?

Vaggie: Well, I don't trust him!

Angel Dust: To be fair, do you trust any man? Any men? Men?

Vaggie: Yes! I trust Y/N and Max.

Tobias: What about me?

Vaggie: Not you.

Vaggie grabs Charlie by the shoulder.

Vaggie: Charlie, listen to me. You can't believe this creep! He isn't just a happy face! He's a deal-maker! 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!

Alastor inspects a portrait of the royal family.

Charlie: 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. Just... trust me. I can take care of myself!

Vaggie: Charlie, whatever you do, do not make a deal with him!

Alastor makes a gesture with his hand, seemingly focusing on Vaggie.

Charlie: Don't worry, I picked up one thing from my dad! "You don't take shit from other demons!"

She walks off to where Alastor is. Y/N hugged Vaggie in concern.

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

As Charlie turns away, glowing red symbols start to appear beside Alastor which quickly disappear after Charlie turns back to Alastor.

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 rolls his eyes at that last statement.

Alastor: So, it's a deal, then?

He twirls his mic staff and presents his hand for a handshake as green energy bursts throughout the hotel.

Charlie: Nope! No shaking! No deals! I... hmm... As princess of Hell and heir to the throne, I, uh, hereby order that you help with this hotel. For as long as you desire.

A howling wolf can be heard in the background as Charlie looks over to Vaggie for approval.

Charlie: Sound fair?

Alastor: Hmm... Fair enough!

Charlie: Cool beans.

Alastor: Hmm hm hmm hmm...

He continues to hum while looking around as he stops in front of Vaggie and a nervous looking at/N.

Alastor: Smile, my dears!

He tickles the underside of their chins.

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

He walks away as he continues humming.

Alastor: So where is your hotel staff?

Charlie: Uh, well-

She points to Y/N and Vaggie who's staring at Alastor dead in the eyes.

Alastor: Ohohoho, you're going to need more than that.

He walks towards Angel Dust.

Alastor: And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?

Angel Dust: I can suck your dick!

Mic feedback can be heard in the background as Alastor tries to process what he was just offered. Tobias laughed.

Alastor: HAH! No.

Angel Dust: Your loss.

Alastor walked to Tobias and Max.

Alastor: What do you two gentlemen do?

Max: I...learn quick and adapt to environments...

Alastor: We'll work on it. And you?

Tobias: I can make moonshine and fireworks.

Alastor: I will come in handy.

Alastor walked away from them.

Alastor: Well, this just won't do! I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up.

At the snap of his finger, a new fireplace has replaced the hotel's worn down one as he approaches it and picks up the mysterious figure covered in soot, which then opens its eye and stares at the the group behind him.

Niffty poofs off the soot from her body.

Alastor: This little darling is Niffty!

Niffty drops to the floor, unaffected.

NifftyS Hi, I'm Niffty! It's nice to meet you! It's been a while since I've made new friends! Why're you all women? Are there any men here?! Oh! Three of them~!

Tobias got up and walked away to his room.

Tobias: No. No. No no no no. Goodbye.

Niffty: I'm sorry, that's rude. Oooh, man! This place is filthy! It really needs a lady's touch! Which is weird because you're all ladies, no offense. Oh, my gosh! This is awful! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!

The five stare at Niffty as a voice coming from an unknown cat demon can be heard nearby.

Husk: Hah! Read 'em and weep, boys! Full Ho-

Then demonic illusions and voices distort the surroundings temporarily.

Husk: -tel? What the fuck is this?

He looks around and spots Alastor, eliciting an angry purr as he points at him.

Husk: 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!

Then the jackpot disappears into nothingness.

Alastor: Good to see you too!

Husk: 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: Are you shittin' me?!

Alastor: Hmm... No, I don't think so!

Husk: You thought it'd be some kind of big fucking riot just to pull me out of nowhere?! You think I'm some kind of fucking clown?!

Alastor: Maybe!

Husk: I ain't doing no fucking charity job.

Alastor: Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment!

Alastor gestures towards the bar he made out of his magic.

With your charming smile and welcoming energy, this job was made for you! Don't worry my friend,

Alastor walks over to the bar, revealing the soles of his shoes to have deer prints.

Alastor: I can make this more welcoming! ...If you wish.

He makes a bottle of "Cheap Booze" appear out of nowhere.

Husk: What? You think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?!

He grabs the booze and looks at it.

Husk:...Well, you can!

Vaggie: Hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey! No! No bar, no alcohol! This is supposed to be a place that discourages sin! Not some kind of mouth...brothel...man cave!

Y/N: Well, technically drinking is not a sin. Getting drunk is a sin.

Vaggie: I know, but-

Angel Dust launches himself at Vaggie and Y/N from somewhere off screen.

Angel Dust: SHUT UP! SHUT! UP! We are keeping this!

Angel Dust starts flirting with Husk.

Angel Dust: Hey~

Husk: Go fuck yourself.

Angel Dust: Only if you watch me!

Charlie: Oh, my gosh! Welcome to The Happy Hotel! You are going to love it here!

Charlie tries to go for a handshake.

Husk: I lost the ability to love years ago.

Alastor: So, whaddaya think?

Charlie: This is amazing!

Vaggie: It's... okay.

Y/N: Not bad. I think.

Alastor reels the three towards him.

Alastor: Hahaha! This is going to be very entertaining!

He then lets go of Vaggie and Y/N and summons a fireball, launching it to the hotel ceiling just so he could distract Charlie fast enough for him to shove Vaggie and Y/N offscreen. He dresses himself in a tux and matching top hat.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The hotel door explodes, ending the music and knocking Niffty offscreen. Charlie, Alastor, Angel Dust, Max, Y/N and Vaggie look outside.

Max: Oh no.

Sir Pentious' war ship has made an appearance outside the hotel.

Sir Pentious: Hah! Well, well, well. Look who it is harboring the striped freak! We meet yet again, Alastor!

Alastor: Do I know you?

Sir Pentious: Oh, yes you do! And this time, I have the element of- SURPRISE! Ahaha! I'm so evil!

With a snap of a finger, an otherworldly dimensional portal opens with tentacles and shadow demons emerging from it, destroying Sir Pentious' ship while he is inside. Alastor can then be seen finishing it off as he clenches his fist with a few drops of blood dripping off his hand. Alastor is then shown grinning menacingly in satisfaction for a moment as the others look at him in shock and horror.

Y/N: Wow...just...wow...I'm not sure to be impressed or horrified...

Alastor:...Well, I'm starved! Who wants some Jambalaya? My mother once showed me a wonderful recipe for Jambalaya. In fact, it nearly killed her! Hahaha! You could say the kick was right out of Hell! Ohoho, I'm on a roll! Yes, sir! This is the start of some real changes down here! The game is set! Now...

Alastor uses his magic for the last time in the episode to change the sign atop the hotel from "Happy Hotel" to "Hazbin Hotel".

Alastor:...Stay tuned. Hahaha...!
