Ash knocked on the door, a blond with white skin and pink cheeks answered the door.
"Oh my Lucifer! Hi, I'm Charlie, come in!" She leads Ash to the lobby, where a slutty looking spider looking guy is scrolling on his phone, a snake guy is building with some egg guys, a small cyclops is running around stabbing at a bug, a grey skinned girl with a pink X over one eye is yelling at the spider guy, and a cat guy with wings is passed out behind a bar.
"Okay, so this is Vaggie, my girlfriend," Charlie led Ash to the grey skinned girl, "this is Angeldust," she pointed at the spider guy. "Thats is Nifty," Charlie said as the tiny cyclops ran passed, "this is Sir Pentious and his egg boys;" she dragged Ash to the snake and eggs; "this is Husk," Ash nods her head. Then a familiar face walked down the stairs. "Oh! And this is-" Ash cut Charlie off by running over and hugging the demon who had just got there.
"Alastor!" She yelled as she hugged him shocking everyone.
"Ash dear! I was about to go look for you! I saw what happened, I'm truly sorry I didn't arrive sooner." Alastor embraced the teen his smile becoming genuine and soft.
"Al has friends?" Angel stood up while everyone else looked equally as puzzled.
"Actually, he's more a father figure. I never had a stable one but then I met Alastor and that kinda changed." Ash explained.
"Damn Smiles, I had taken you for the kind that didn't like kids." The slutty spider demon laughed.
"What made you think that my feminine fellow?" Alastor asked while keeping an arm around Ash,
"Well, yeah aren't the nicest guy." Ash chuckled at this making everyone look at her; she seemed to sink further into Alastor.
"Just because he's a killer and cannibal, doesn't mean he isn't nice, I've known him for seven years and he's been the only good thing that's happened to me in all fourteen years of my life." The doe demon huffed making the stag beside her chuckle,
"Why thank you dear." He pet her head.
"Does he own your soul? I don't see how someone so young and kind could end up here..." Charlie frowned.
"Um, no. I killed my mother and older brother Keith, my dad shot me in retaliation." Ash said sheepishly giving a slight shrug. "Like I said, I see Alastor as the stable father figure I never had. He helped me when my biological father beat me, he fed me when my family didn't, basically made sure I was safe and comfortable." Alastor felt pride swell in his chest, happy to know Ash thought of him like a father.
"Thats a shock, here I would've thought he'd tricked you into some sick as fuck deal..." Husk scoffed, Ash rolled her eyes and stuck up her nose,
"Just because you don't like him does not in anyway mean I have to dislike him also." She growled.
"Fine, but if he hurts you, or anyone who enters this hotel I swear to Lucifer, I'll kill him!" Vaggie snarled. Alastor raised his hands in mock serenader,
"I wouldn't hurt this little doll if I was held at gunpoint dear." His smile small and genuine. Vaggie huffed and rolled her eyes.

Ash was beyond excited to finally see where her father figure lived, not to mention meet his friends. She got along well with Nifty and Charlie the best, Angel creeped her out with all his sexual comments so she mostly steered clear of him; Husk acted like she was a plague and avoided her at all costs. Ash didn't mind Sir Pentious and his egg boys, but they were fairly annoying, and as cool as Vaggie was, she didn't like that she had threatened Alastor, so didn't really talk to her. All in all, Ash obviously got along best with Alastor, they were always doing things together. Alastor taught her about hell, and what she should do if she gets separated from anyone at the hotel while walking around. He also told her about the overlords, and currently, the overlord Ash never wanted to meet, was Valentino. The moth demon and owner of the porn studio. Just thinking about that topic grossed her out.

Alastor told her that after she settled in, he'd take her to cannibal town to meet his friend Rosie and take her shopping for necessities. It's safe to say, Ash was beyond excited.
