Despite some happy moments, the Hotel made very lifeless progress with Charlie's plan.
One morning, Vaggie found Charlie panicking and planning with lots of paper with strings attached.
Everyone watched disturbed.
Vaggie: Uh..Charlie?
Charlie: I'm just not quite understanding why it's not working. Okay, okay, think Charlie. Think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think. Okay if I do this, it's going to be- (gasp) I have trust falls every single morning. We can do- (gasp)
Angel Dust: Yikes.
Charlie: Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Vaggie: Charlie? Sweetie? You ok?
Lincoln: Yeah, you look worse than Lori on a bad hair day.😥
Charlie: Nope! No, not really. Ha ha. I've been up all night trying to figure out why the hotel isn't working. [Crushes paper with hand] We've done trust falls, we've tried sharing our feelings, we only have a couple months left before the angels come. [Turns into demonic form and laughs maniacally before turning back to normal] And at this rate-
Vaggie: Maybe it's time...
Charlie: NO.
Vaggie: To ask...
[Charlie gets up close to Vaggie's face, holding her cheeks desperately.]
Charlie: DON'T SAY IT.
Vaggie: Your dad.
Charlie groans.
Vaggie: Charlie, I know you don't want to, but we need every advantage we get.
Charlie: He let the extermination happen to begin with. They just had a meeting and said, "Go ahead and kill everyone"- (gasp) Wait, that's it!
Vaggie: Kill everyone?
Charlie: No! He could get me a meeting with Heaven!
Vaggie: Didn't we already try that?
Charlie: Well. yeah with Adam, he was an asshole. But he isn't in charge of all of Heaven. We could go to the top. There's sure to be some angels who will listen.
[Charlie scrolls through her contacts. In her contacts, she has Egg Boiz 1,2, and 3, before her thumb lingers on top of her "Dad". However, she was hesitant to call her dad]
Husk: What's the hold up? Daddy issues?
Lincoln: Husk, please.
Charlie: No, we just have never been close. After he and mom split, he never really wanted to see me. He calls, sometimes, but only if he's bored or like needs me to do something.
[Husk was aware that this is just an excuse that Charlie does have issues with her dad and turns to the others.]
Husk, 😏: So Daddy issues.
Angel Dust: Well I'd like to meet the big dick in charge.
[Niffty was holding a knife in her hands.]
Niffty: The ultimate bad boy. [laughs like a gremlin with excitement, holding a knife while Angel takes her knife away without her knowing] I bet he's scary.
Lincoln: I'm so nervous!
He was about to meet the King of hell himself! Someone he had only heard of in Stories.
Lincoln: I-I hope he's in a listening mood.
Angel: same.
Charlie: we'll see.
