The Apprentice Of The Radio Demon

Chapter 53 Masquerade (Poison)

It was just another day at the Hazbin Hotel. Right now, this time's exercise is show and tell. Angel decided to bring a movie he did and let's just say that not everyone was pleased about it. Sir Pentious and Charlie were looking horrified, Vaggie was clearly annoyed, and Niffty was the only one who was enjoying it. "You know, this performance won me a Sex-x-xi award" Angel explained as he happily watched his movie. "It's...a very honest - oh!" Charlie turns again feeling nauseous. "Ew. Ok, enough of that. Angel, what the fuck?" Vaggie comforts her sick girlfriend. "What? You said it's a show-and-tell day. I'm showing you my best film, and I'm telling you that it scored me a win over that bitch Tiffany Titfucker." Angel frowned at the name of the actress he won over.

"You know, not a very convincing interrogation scene." Husk told as he cleaned a glass. (Y/n) was sitting next to him as she happily drinks her soda Husk prepared for her. She even had her earbuds on, because Husk didn't want her to listen to what Angel's movie was about.

Angel laughs, apparently angrily. "Alright then, dickhead. What makes you think you have any right to insult my work to my fucking face?"

"You really gonna sit there and act like these scripts ain't hot garbage?" Husk asked. "Fuck you! This is classy art!" Angel points to the TV screen. It then shows Angel's co-Star slapping Angel's butt before biting it. Sir Pentious covers his eyes while Niffty continues to happily watch the movie. Husk walks over to him with a bottle in his hand. (Y/n) decided to join him with one earbud off and still drinking her soda. "That's bullshit. You get drunk and bitch about them all the time. Everyone likes to bitch to a bartender. I learn everything about you and these motherfuckers at this point." He said. He then points at Sir Pentious. "That one is an insecure buffoon whose lonely ass watches you asleep." Everyone looks back at Sir Pentious. (Y/n) spits out her soda. "Wait!?" Sir Pentious just gives her a nervous smile. "Note to self, cast a spell on my door." (Y/n) mutters. Husk then points at Charlie. "Princess is a heart who wants to solve everyone else's problems except her own" Charlie tried to play it off. "What...no...I-pfft no." Husk then points at Vaggie. "This one judges everyone and everything because she hates herself." Vaggie just groans. Husk turns to Niffty who smiles mischievously at him. "Niffty? Yeah, you don't even want to know what her deal is." Husk takes a drink of his wine. He then looks over at (Y/n). She just shrugged, allowing him to say his statement about her. "(N/n), here did what she had to in order to survive. Even if it includes playing a dangerous game." He ruffled her hair as she smiled at him. Angel just lets out a laugh. "Haha, you weren't kidding. Oh ho, kitten's got claws, meow~" He held Husk's face. Husk breaks away from him. "And you! Don't get me started, I see right through you with all this bullshit, and how fake you are." Angel stood up from his seat. "Oh ho, me? Fake? Wow, I had no idea. Guess that's why I'm an actor, dumbass. And-hold that." His phone rings. Angel answers it nervously. Hello, uh yeah - I'm- No, no I'm just. No, I'm not - But, yeah I'll be right there." Angel hangs up his phone. "Well, looks like Val needs me for an emergency shoot."

"Uh huh, sure" Husk made his snarky remark. "You know what? Fuck you, I don't give a shit what some drunk-ass bartender thinks of me. So why don't you just crawl back to whatever cave you came from, porn critic." Angel flips Husk off as he puts on sunglasses. Before Angel can leave, Charlie stops him. "Angel, you can't leave yet. We haven't finished our exercises for the day."

"I'm sure you'll manage without me." Angel smiles. Charlie quickly blocks the door. "There isn't much time left for the hotel to prove itself." Angel took off his sunglasses and put a hand on her shoulder. "Dollface, it's my job. I know you want to fix everything but unless you can fix my boss, there's nothing you can do." With that Angel leaves. Charlie slides down the door. "Ugh, why is this so hard? What am I doing wrong." Vaggie and (Y/n) walked up to her. "Well, I mean, you're the princess of Hell." Vaggie told. "So?" Charlie raised her brow. "So you don't really use the power that comes with that, which I love about you, but maybe you can, I don't know, command a little more authority?" Vaggie explains. "Yeah! Show everyone that you're the princess of Hell!" (Y/n) raised her fist in the air. "But that's so mean!" Charlie didn't like the idea. "It's not mean exactly. It's uh aggressive kindness." Vaggie smiled. "That's one way to put it." (Y/n) smiled as she crossed her arms. "Ok, I could be so aggressively kind to Angel's boss that I convince him to let him spend more time at the hotel!" Charlie stood up. "Sure, whatever gets you there, babe." Vaggie smiled at her girlfriend. "You're going to ask Valentino to give Angel some time off? You'll need more help with that than just aggressive kindness." (Y/n) glared at the mention of a certain Overlord. "You're right. That's why you'll be coming with me to help!" Charlie happily points at (Y/n).
