Nothing noteworthy happened lately. At least from the point of view of Sukuna. Charlie finally came out of her depressed state, Angel and Husk became friends over shared pain, and Niffty was...Niffty.
"I wonder if I could hybernate for a couple hundred years..." Sukuna thought out loud, but then he heard Charlie call out to him.
"Hey Ryo." she started, already starting to annoy him. "Vaggie and the others are working hard to make the Hotel more presentable for when my dad gets here...could you...you know..help? A bit? Just a tiny bit?" she asked meekly.
"I'll do one thing, and that is to take a hike as soon as I feel Lucifer nearby, isn't that enough help?" Sukuna asked, not wanting to even move a finger.
"No I mean help clean up the hotel...What's between you and my father anyways? I know he doesn't like you, but..." Charlie asked the Overlord, but he just shrugged.
"Princess, you know I can't tell you even if I wanted to. My..." Sukuna started, but was cut off by Charlie.
"I know, I know..I wish you two could get along." she said dreamily.
"Fine. I'll help. This once." Sukuna said, and snapped his fingers, but seemingly nothing happened. At first. Then a slow, heavy wind started swirling inside the hotel, alerting the residents. Things started to get cleaner, broken pieces of furniture and walls started repairing themselvs. In a couple minutes, the inside of the hotel was spotless. Except the residents. Their faces was plastered with confusion and annoyance.
"If he could do that, why the fuck did he wait this long?!" Angel asked angrily, looking at Sukuna, who lazily rested his hand back on the couch.
"Okay everyone!" Charlie spoke up. "I think we're ready! Are we...I think..maybe...no...we're ready!!" she said with a smile, and opened up the door, revealing Lucifer Morningstar, just standing there, his hand raised, seemingly lost.
"Chaaarlieeee!" Lucifer yelled happily, and went to hug his daughter. "It's so good to see you! Haha!" he finally let her go, allowing her to breath once again.
"It's good to see you too Dad." she caughed out, trying to regain composure. "Welcome! To the Hazbin Hotel!" she spread her arms, motioning all around her.
"Oh wow!" Lucifer started to look and twirl around with enthusiasm, but quickly lost his mood. "Well, you know...it's got a lot of...Character..and stuff." he said unsure.
"How do you like the renovations we have done to the place?" Alastor showed up out of nowhere, right next to Charlie. "It adds a bit of color, don't you think?"
"What the...who is this? Are you the bellhop?" Lucifer asked, genuinely confused.
"I'm Alastor, aka the Radio Demon, I'm sure you've heard of my work before. I'm working here as a...kind of facility manager if you'd like." he said in his distorted voice, while shaking Lucifer's cane and then wiping his hands on his suit. "I must say, you're much shorter in real life." he was now openly taunting Lucifer.
"Nope. Haven't heard of you. Guess why Charlie decided to call this the HAZBIN hotel, huh?" Lucifer said, laughing at his own joke.
"Haha, Actually, it was my idea to rename the hotel." Alastor pointed it out.
"Haha, well it's not very clever." Lucifer retorted.
"Haha, fuck you" Alastor said.
"Sukuna, would you?" Charlie had enough of this bickering, so she called the only demon who could handle Radio Demon.
"Alastor. Take a walk." Sukuna simply said, and Alastor disappeared. Whether it was Sukuna's doing, or he left of his free will Charlie didn't know.
Lucifer just now noticed the one person in the hotel who didn't get up in greeting, and just stayed put on the couch.
"The beast is still here, huh?" Lucifer asked, disgusted by his mear presence.
"Don't push your luck, Pigeon." Sukuna retorted, immidiately pissing off Lucifer. "You know why I'm here, so your dumbass questions just make you look stupid." Lucifer was fuming.
"Uhm..Ryo..Didn't you say you'd leave when he got here?" Charlie asked, sensing the danger.
"I said I'll do one thing, you used it for cleaning. I'm not going anywhere." Sukuna chuckled. "You know what, Alastor you can come back, you're at least somewhat entertaining. Unlike that Pigeon over there." As soon as he said it, Alastor appeared out of the shadows.
"Much obliged!" Alastor said, nodding towards Sukuna.
After all the bickering died down, an unannounced guest busted through the door.
"Mimzy!" Alastor spoke up.
"Alastoor! Sweetie! Doll-face!" the now named Mimzy embraced the Radio Demon. "So good to see you again! Listen, I was in the neighborhood, I heard you were staying at this slob factory, and I figured I'd stop by, say hi!" Mimzy spoke quite fast, but there was something in her voice.
"You just entered the hotel, and already lying." Sukuna stood up from his spot, slowly making his way towards the newcomer, while Alastor looked at him curiously. "Why are you REALLY here?" he asked, his tone commanding.
"I came here because Alastor is here." Mimzy said, confidently.
"Anything else? If you lie, you will not leave in one piece." Sukuna said seriously.
While this little interrogation was going on, Charlie and Lucifer talked.
"See what I'm talking about? He's threatening people as they come in!" Lucifer piped up, but Charlie was relentless.
"He's doing it for me. For the Hotel." she retorted.
While the other residents helped getting Mimzy settle in, and Charlie and her gang took Lucifer on a tour, Sukuna laid back on his couch.
During the tour, Husker finally caught up the Alastor.
"Hey, Boss? Can I have a word?" Husker asked, uncertain.
"What?" the red demon asked, as he turned around, not hiding his sour mood.
"We both know Mimzy only shows up when she needs something. That bitch is trouble, and who knows what kind of demon she pissed off now to come running to you." Husker said in a low voice, not wanting for Charlie to overhear it.
"It's nothing I can't handle. So don't worry about it." Alastor said, confidently.
"You've been gone a long while, and not like anyone knows why or where." Husker retorted.
"They don't need to know. So don't you worry your fuzzy little head about it." Alastor said, to which Husker growled at him.
"You may own my soul, but I'm NOT your fucking PET!" Husker said with pure anger in his voice.
"Oh but I think you are..." Alastor said melodiously.
"Big talk for someone who's also on a leash." Husker's voice was low, but Alastor heard it loud and clear. He stopped, and turned to Husker, eyes glowing red, slowly transforming into his more demonic form, as a chain appeared in his hands, the other end on a collar around Husker's neck.
"If you ever say that again," he said, slowly approaching the now shaking Husker, "I will tear your soul apart, and broadcast your screams..." he threatened Husker, but suddenly, the green collar around his neck shattered, the chain in Alastor's hand slowly crumbling away. "What the fuck?!" Alastor said, not noticing the person standing behind him.
"So it works like that too, huh? I didn't even need the chant." Sukuna muttered, while walking with measured steps towards the two. "Who would have thought."
"What the FUCK did you do?!" Alastor asked, consumed in rage.
"I made a deal with Husker, that's all." Sukuna said simply. "If I managed to shatter your deal, and he would continue to work at this hotel, as a free demon." Sukuna explained.
"I was doubting you for a second, you son of a bitch." Husker said, relieved that he made the deal.
"You may be free..." Alastor said, threateningly, "But I can still kill you just as easily." he continued as his antlers started growing.
"You will not be killing anyone who is associated with the Hotel. Are we clear?" Sukuna said, his eyes piercing through Alastor's very soul.
"Who the FUCK DO YOU THINK..." the Radio Demon tried to attack Sukuna, but he wasn't fast enough.
Sukuna grabbed his face, and smashed him into the floor, creating a crack in the wood.
"ARE WE CLEAR?" Sukuna's voice echoed throughout the hotel, and everyone knew Alastor stepped out of line.
"Perfectly." Alastor stood up after being let go, dusted himself off, and went to find Charlie and the others, while already planning multiple schemes against Sukuna.
After the attack on the hotel for Mimzy's deeds, she promptly disappeared from the hotel without anyone's knowledge. Charlie and Lucifer talked it over, and finally she got the meeting with heaven she wanted. After her father left, the hotel's repairs started, with everyone pitching in. Except Sukuna of course.
"You know, the next part is going to be scary." Vaggie said, hugging and reassuring her girlfriend. "Are you ready?"
"I'm ready. 'Cause you'll be with me." Charlie said.
"In spirit, right?" Vaggie nervously chuckled.
"In Heaven!" Charlie said with an evil grin on her face.
"No." Sukuna said, startling the couple. "I will be going with you." he stated, his tone not leaving room for discussion.
Vaggie was secretly relieved, Charlie was disappointed, and everyone else was just plain confused.
"Thank you." Charlie said to Sukuna, touched by his care, knowing nothing about the hidden malice underneath his cold look. Sukuna was finally getting a chance to enjoy himself, maybe someone worthy will show up. He couldn't wait.
