"What...a....mess"

When I said I would be the Hotel's book keeper that was before I realize how much of a mess their books are! I've got all kinds of files in front of me that I've been going through since I've started. All of it ranged from the property value of the hotel changing constantly, and when I mean constantly I mean constantly. Almost on a weekly basis or even daily even though we're on the outskirts of pentagram city. Then there's other papers some of which make no sense to me. Like a tax on just having pipes in the building! wasn't even aware there were taxes in hell to begin with! Did I also add I've been at this for over a week!? doesn't help in that time extermination day came and damage caused by those damn angels shook my room causing papers to go flying everywhere! Took me hours just to organize it again.

"I need a break", I said rubbing my skull. Getting up I closed my book marking my spot before leaving my room. 

Since coming here it has been interesting. Charlie has tried to get me to participate in some of her activities to help with redeeming sinners. Thankfully I used the somewhat excuse of me still working on straightening out the books to get out of it. Alongside this though I also have to run into the court house to take care of some cases along with check other cases going on with some of my employees from time to time. Happy to say my deal with miss Mayberry has come to a close but has decided to stay around. With the comment that she wouldn't be able to find a job as good as this. I was happy to hear her response. Though today's her day off so I'm taking care of things by my lonesome.

"Charon! I was just looking for you!"

"Ah, afternoon miss Charlie. What can I help you with?"

"Alastor had something he would like to show us all"

"Well this should be interesting then if Alastor's involved", I said with excitement.

--------------------------------

"I'm sorry, what the fuck was that!?", Vaggie accurately said. To be honest I should have known something like this would happen if Alastor was involved.

"Uh yeah, one note Alastor. First off, thank you so much for making this. Seriously, amazing but....um....maybe the tone is...a..bit......off. We want people to come. This makes it look....umm.."

"Bad, the word you're looking for is bad", Vaggie chimed in. Train wreck is the word I would have used. Plus Charlie is too innocent for Hell I've quickly figured out. She's the textbook definition of naive.

"Funny. I was going for hilarious!"

"Sorry Alastor but the commercial didn't explain anything when it comes to what this hotel is actually for", I chimed in. Alastor just rolled his eyes at my comment.

"Charon is right, Alastor. The Commercial was to let sinners know we are trying to help them"

"Well, my dear, I haven't been active in hell for some time, and everyone remembers me from my radio show days. The Proper medium to express oneself!", Alastor said defending himself.

"Sorry to say but Alastor isn't the best person for this kind of job, no offense. He isn't a big fan of new technology and only interacts with it if he has to. Last person you would task creating a commercial"

"Not my fault I tried to have some fun with it", Alastor commented.

"oh, fun. You had a little fun with it? Well, this is not what we want to represent us. When you showed up here a week ago, you told us you would help run this hotel! Instead you're mocking us!", Vaggie argued. Honestly I'm waiting for these two to duke it out. It would be very entertaining to watch even though I would know the outcome. Suddenly Angel dust raised his hand getting all our attention.
