"Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy." A tall, slim, pale-skinned demon said to the camera. Katie Killjoy is the head anchor of 666 News, Hell's premier news station. Katie is arrogant, selfish, and narcissistic.
"And I'm Tom Trench! Chaos out at Pentagram City today as a turf war is raging on the west side!" A guy with a gas mask and looked like he belonged in World War One said.
They displayed an image of a snake guy fighting a sexy, teenage looking, cyclops.
"Between notable kingpin, Sir Pentious, and self-proclaimed spunky powerhouse, Cherri Bomb!" Tom Trench said.
Y/N changed the channel in the break room. "I hate the news. T-T-They always try to make people look bad. One time, a teenage actress hugged the director of a movie because he was nice to her. The news tried to make him look like a rapist after that. I don't know how they provided his innocence, but I think it had something to do with the actress shooting the news lady in both her knees." Y/N said to himself.
"Yikes." Vaggie said as she was adjusting Charlie's bow tie. "Okay! You remember what to say?" Vaggie asked Charlie. "Yes! Let's do this!" Charlie said.
"I-I think we should do a practice run. Maybe give you a script." Y/N said nervously to Charlie. "If you want I could quickly write a script." Y/N offered.
"Y/N's right. We should do a practice run." Vaggie said in agreement. Charlie groaned.
"Come on you two. I know what to say! I just feel like we need to...I don't know, make things sound more exciting!" Charlie said as she picked up a donut.
"Exciting how?" Y/N asked.
"What if I si" Charlie said only for Y/N and Vaggie to finish the sentence. "Sing a song about it?" The two said.
"You knew I was gonna say that!" Charlie said as she boops Vaggie on the nose and pinches Y/N's cheek.
"Because we know you! But please don't sing! This is serious!" Vaggie said as she shook Charlie. "V-V-Vaggie's right. George Washington didn't win the war by singing his heart out. You gotta do this with no singing." Y/N said.
"Ya. What he said." Vaggie said
"Well, you know, I'm better at expressing myself and my goals through song!" Charlie stood up on the table with Razzle and Dazzle happily munching on doughnuts, watching her.
"But life isn't a musical, hon." Vaggie said
"Fine. But I have these other ideas of what to say! The highlighted bits are the best part!" Charlie said. She started bouncing a bit as she shows Vaggie and Y/N a piece of paper.
"Everything is highlighted." Y/N said. "Is this a drawing...?" Vaggie said looking at the paper.
"Yes! That's the happy ending, see?! Everyone smiling and happy in Heaven!" Charlie said as she began to fantasize.
"I don't think it's that simple. Just please follow the talking points we went over. And do not sing!" Vaggie said as she was practically begging.
"Charlie. Of all goes well, I'll take you out on a date." Y/N said. Charlie smiled. "Alright! I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills!" She said in a British accent as she salutes to Vaggie and Y/N. She then walks over to Katie Killjoy.
"I'll bet you a date that she doesn't last eleven minutes." Y/N said.
"I'll bet you a kiss it's seven minutes." Vaggie said.
Charlie approached Katie Killjoy. "Hiii! I'm Charlie." She said in her normal voice and sounded nervous. She tried to shake Katie's hand.
Katie gave Charlie a very nasty look. She was smoking a cigarette. "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!" Katie Killjoy snapped at Charlie like she did something wrong.
"Yeah? How's uh... how's that working out for ya?" Charlie said as she turned around nervously. "Look, my time is money, so I'll keep this short. You're not here because we wanted you here. You're here because Jeffrey couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment." Katie Killjoy said. She pointed billboard of Jeffrey's cannibalism cooking show titled "It's Dahm Good!"
"That guys here?!?" Y/N said in a panic. "Where do you think he went?" Vaggie asked.
"I thought he would have been exterminated by now." Y/N said
"That happened to Manson and Gacy. Well, actually Gacy was stabbed in his...well...you know." She said pointing to Y/N's private area
"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." Katie snapped.
Tom was shaking his head in disapproval at Katie's actions as she boasts about her wealth and influence to Charlie.
"But I" Charlie never had a chance to finish her sentence.
"So don't get cute with me, honey, or I will fucking bury you!" Katie snapped.
Y/N shivered nervously and hugged Vaggie to feel calm. Vaggie blushed softly at his actions.
"Katie is scary." Y/N said nervously. "Yes she is." Vaggie said in agreement.
"And we're live!" A news caster said. Killjoy rushed back to her desk, holding papers while cracking her neck.
"Welcome back! So, Charlotte!" Katie asked.
"It's... Charlie." Charlie corrected her. She smiles nervously as a spotlight flashes her way.
"Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about!" Katie as as she was desperately trying to prevent an outburst.
"Well..." Charlie said nervously. She looked around. Vaggie motioned her to go on. "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."
"Hell is my home and you are my people. We... we just went through another extermination." Charlie continued. Vaggie gave Charlie a thumbs up. Y/N gave Charlie a smile.
" 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!" Charlie said with a smile.
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. Nobody said anything. "Y/N you were right. Maybe we should have gone with the commercial or fireworks." Vaggie said
