- No Way Up - Hazbin Hotel -

- Overture -

———

The scene turns static before it fixes itself to reveal a sinner stabbing another demon to death with a knife before Alastor caught their attention. As the camera rolls, scenes switches from the front of the Hazbin Hotel,

"Well, hello there, you wayward Sinner! Do you like blood, violence, and depravity of a sexual nature? Of course you do, that's why you're in Hell! But what would you say if I told you there was a place to stay that had none of that? Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, a misguided path to redemption! Founded five days ago by Lucifer's delusional daughter, Charlotte Morningstar!" Charlie shows up on camera and she waves at it before Angel Dust comes into view, putting two-fingers over the head prank behind her, to Charlie's interview with Katie Killjoy, then a picture of her crying as she faces away from her father who was in the opposite direction under a spotlight, then her showing her plan via poster to a confused crowd,

"Come place your fate in her inexperienced hands, as she tries to work through her daddy issues by fixing you! Here we offer fun things, such as somewhat functional staff and 24-hour pest control." the bartender, Husk, who was clearly drunk, passing out on the ground as Niffty, the hotel maid, tries to stab and chase after a bug.

"Not to mention wonderful entertainment from non other than the most well known overlord in the whole pentagram." It shows a clip of Ametrida, sitting down reading a book. When she finally notices the camera she glares at it as the screen was filled with static.

"Custom rooms, and just look at this tacky parlor! Enjoy riveting conversation with our singular resident. Wow! All this, and more at the Hazbin Hotel! Your last desperate attempt at salvation starts here!" Ametrida says as the camera shows Angel Dust, with a support beam falling close to KeeKee, scaring the demon cat before running off, and Angel Dust flipping Alastor off, and then the poor drawing of the hotel before the commercial ends.

Alastor turns off the television. He and Ametrida turn to the couple smiling at their work.

"So, what do you think?"

On the couch, Charlie and Vaggie were surprised of the commercial being poorly misleading and very offensive to their nature, that Vaggie throws a fit at Alastor.

"They're so happy they can't even speak!" Ametrida exclaims with a small smile on her face.

"I'm sorry. What the fuck was that?" Vaggie exclaims.

Ametrida's eye twitches a bit at Vaggie's tone. "A commercial, dear." She says flatly.

"Uh, Yeah. One note, I mean, first off, thank you so much for making this seriously amazing,but um," Alastor's eye twitches a bit as she continues. "maybe the tone is a bit off. We want people to want to come here. This makes it look, um..." Charlie hesitates.

"Bad. The word you're looking for is bad." Vaggie says.

"Funny. We were going for hilarious." Alastor says.

"It didn't explain anything about how we're trying to save demons from extermination, which is the whole fucking point."

"But do people not respond best to dry humor poking fun at an outlandish idea?" Ametrida asks with a smile.

"No, Vaggie is right, the commercial was to let sinners know we are trying to help them." Charlie says. Both the demons standing next to the tv start to look a bit more frustrated.
