Hazbin Hotel 31 Day One Shot Challenge

Day 20 - A Day in the Life of Niffty

Day 20? Dang, not far until we reach day 31. Anyway, This was a request from my other friend. She loves Niffty and just said "Niffty being Niffty" so that is what I had to work with. I will do what I can with that and just have a bit of fun with it. ._.

The Hazbin Hotel. A little hotel in which the Princess of Hell was determined to redeem sinners and then into Heaven. A silly idea that the Princess had her heart set on. The idea itself seemed foolish. Why would any soul want to get into Heaven? They made their choices and they landed themselves here in Hell. They get to burn for their lives. However, there are residents here at this Hotel.

Residents that are either the candidates or the staff. The staff, mind you, was not commanded to work their by the princess, oh no. She would never think to use her authority to force souls to work there. Rather, it was someone else who did that. Out of the two people who were seemingly forced to work here, only one seemed to be interested in her job.

The little insect demon with the name Niffty. Her name fits the little girl quite well. She has since made herself useful on her day to day chores. Cleaning the hotel and managing the little pests that scamper around the grounds.

The smaller demon was a clean freak. She would keep cleaning, even if she already cleaned that spot. Dusting, sweeping, mopping, there was nothing she wouldn't do.

When she wakes up, the first thing Niffty does is look around for any little pests that she can impale. Just a little entertainment she finds for herself. From there, she helps make breakfast. She does have to be supervised while in the Kitchen because she may try to add ingredients that aren't actually food.

Rather, she would put poison in food if she ever got the option to. The other residents are not quite so eager to try whatever she creates in the kitchen. Her sadistic side is a little extreme. Everyone is fully aware of how crazy she can get, but they still respect her anyway. And it doesn't help that when she does make food, they feel pressured into trying it otherwise she might start crying.

Angel did find a way to make her stop crying, much to Husker's displeasure.

Whenever they are done in the kitchen, the other staff members leave, and Niffty handles all the cleaning. No one is quite sure where she got this obsession for cleaning, they are just happy that she does a rather decent job. She may be small, but she is handy. She finds ways to put all the glassware back in the cabinets.

There were little theories that when she was alive, the reason why she was so good at cleaning was because she used to clean up murder scenes. But no one dares ask that question.

Niffty always partakes in all of the activities. Even though she is not aiming for a redemption, she still enjoys hanging out with the others. They actually seem to like her unlike other demons she has met. They either just want nothing to do with her, find her creepy, or they don't ever let her perform her little shows.

She really does like the hotel and working here. She feels at home. Not that anyone could ever tell. The only one that knows that she likes the hotel crew is Alastor.

There will always be a part of the day where she seems to be missing in action, but because of how Charlie runs things, she allows for the hotel staff to have space when they need it. There isn't many residents, so it doesn't matter at the moment if they need to stay on top of things or not. It's not like out of the two residents here, they have major messes. And even if they do, Alastor will easily fix up the hotel.

During this time that she's missing, she might just be chilling with Alastor or even going out to the town and picking up any supplies she feels she might need. If she does spend her time with the radio demon, it's really just her talking about whatever random thought comes to her mind. Or she even practices her little puppet shows that she likes to perform for the hotel staff and residents. She knows that they do like her shows or if they don't, they don't say anything, but she wants to practice them a little bit because she doesn't want to mess up the performance and disappoint them.

At the end of the day, she helps set up a little fire, but nothing too major and nothing not in a fireplace. Much to her disappointment. She was only allowed to put a fire in the fireplace as stated by Charlie and Vaggie.

Once everyone is settled and comfortable, all of the energy she had at the beginning of the day seems to be diminished and she finds herself resting against the couch, nuzzled into the comfort of whoever she picks that day. Typically it's whoever she finds the softest or the warmest. Once she is comfortable, her little exhaust self falls into a deep slumber.

A/N: had to post this one a little early, going to be at work until late and will not have been able to post any other time. It might happen again tomorrow too. I'm hoping to get that one shot written at some point before I have to go to work tomorrow as well. This one is just a cute little insight on our favorite house cleaner. See you guys tomorrow.
