On a new day at the Hazbin Hotel, right now in the living room were Charlie and Vaggie along with Emily to have a conversation, or rather a lesson for her.
Charlie: Alright, Emily, today we'll teach you how to insult.
Emily: But I already know how to insult, once I yelled "Bitch" at the sky.
Charlie: That was a month ago, and since then you've said nothing but dumb or stupid.
Vaggie: Look, in a place like this, cursing is very common, and that helps a bit to toughen up here so that demons respect you.
Emily: What if they don't respect me?
Charlie: Well, they'll go to the point where they insult you all the time, and when you're on TV to promote your hotel, the same representative mocks you in front of all hell's television.
Emily: But I don't have a hotel.
Vaggie: She's speaking from her experience. The point here is that you should insult when the moment arises.
Emily: But I don't know how to insult, I almost always see the positive side of everything.
Charlie: It's easy, you just look at the person you want to insult, identify something about their appearance that makes them feel bad, and insult them with that. Let me give you an example.
She looked around for anything that could help her until she saw her father heading towards the exit.
Charlie: Hey, Dad.
Lucifer: Yes, dear?
Charlie: You're a fucking midget.
Those words felt like an arrow piercing his heart, but he tried to act like it didn't affect him at all.
Lucifer: I see, see you later.
After he left, Charlie continued the conversation.
Charlie: See? That's how it's done.
Emily: I see.
Vaggie: You do know who you just insulted, right?
Charlie: Damn it. Dad, wait! I didn't mean it seriously!
Now only Vaggie and Emily remained talking while Charlie took care of apologizing to her father.
Vaggie: You just have to do it when you think the moment calls for it, and with people who aren't so fragile about their appearance, like your father.
Emily: And what kinds of insults can I use?
Vaggie: The classics, like asshole, bitch, cabrón.
Emily: I understand.
Vaggie: Alright, any other questions?
Emily: What's a date?
Vaggie: Me and my big mouth, why do you ask?
Emily: Angel Dust says I should plan my date with Odette carefully, but I don't know what it is.
Vaggie: Didn't you talk about it in Heaven?
Emily: No, Sera kept me away from anything related to relationships, I think she did it so I wouldn't end up like my father.
Vaggie: I see, well, a date is when two people who really like each other decide to go for a walk somewhere or go eat at a restaurant. I did it with Charlie, just like my father-in-law did with Carmilla.
Emily: But she's my sister, isn't that weird?
Vaggie: You're not blood-related, so it doesn't matter, besides Carmilla and your father aren't married.
