(Hazbin Hotel) The Radio Demon and The Doe-Eyed Killer

Chapter 173: "You don't borrow Father's coffee cup Gabe!"

The Hotel Crew and friends were stunned by the news when Vincenzo told them about five seconds after he walked into the Hotel's kitchen to see everyone was already there.

Abigail literally dropped her plate, which shattered and Amos was immediately at her side in a panic.

"Abby?!"

Abigail looked like she'd faint.

Josephine wasn't favoring any better than her mother-in-law. The poor woman was in shock as she was shaking while a hand was resting over her stomach. Alastor was whispering soothingly into her ear while rubbing her back.

Molly covered her mouth in horror while Mimzy was petting the already spoiled kitten as though Nyx was the only thing keeping her mentally stable. Nyx was purring loudly in approval. Angel Dust followed Mimzy's example with Fat Nuggets while muttering in disbelief. "Oh 🤬!"

Rosie was not surprisingly, gone in a flurry of marigold petals.

Vaggie was frantic. "How's Charlie?"

Vincenzo sighed. "Shaken up over the whole ordeal, but she's fine now that her mother is healed and no longer in danger of any sickness from the bullet fragments."

Arackniss looked like he was out for blood as he snarled.

"It was them wasn't it Vinny?"

"I can't say anything without clarifying it through Lucifer first, but from the brief debrief from Cogsworth over the phone...I'm 99% certain that it was them. Though what actual role they play in it is still unknown. I'm also 100% certain that Azrael will explain it in length once we arrive at the palace and immediately threaten our lives with extermination if we let this happen again."

Arackniss cursed. "Oh 🤬 Hell...Lucifer is bad enough now there's the Emo Edge-Lord and the Messenger Twin to appease..."

Husker had unceremoniously choked on his drink when Vincenzo made the inconvenient announcement. He was currently wheezing the drink out from his lung as though he were trying to hack up a hair ball.

"What'd you mean by sickness? How the 🤬 is the Queen still alive right now?"

"Unlike us the Queen is a special case."

"How?"

"It's because she never actually died. Remember, she was cast out into Hell. She wasn't killed. And she also has a bit of Lucifer's powers inside her. The worst that angelic metal will do to her is make her sicker than she or Josephine were during the early months of morning sickness. It's like an infection that her body has to fight off with some intensive treatment thrown into the mix."

At the Palace...inside the dining room. Everyone was waiting patiently for the Magne/Angeles family to enter. A twitchy grinning Rosie had greeted them upon their arrival and silently lead them to the dining room.

The tension of her every physical action was enough to get the William's, Husker, Mimzy, and Niffty to all exchange nervous glances.

The spider twins + Cherri Bomb were all hushed by Arackniss before they so foolishly asked if the Skeletal Demoness was okay.

Arackniss signed: Don't any of youse even 🤬 think about asking her if she's okay! That's literally the WORST THING TO ASK cuz she's obviously not okay! She'll most likely rip yer 🤬 arms off!

Alfred was as silent as a monk from his spot beside Cogsworth until the steampunk inventor spoke up. "I fear for the mental health of the Death Angel..."
