(New voice actor for AJ: Justin Timberlake.)
From outside of the Hazbin Hotel, merely just a few hours after the sudden announcement about next year's Extermination coming six months early.
Charlie: *Anxious* Okay. So...
Inside the hotel, in the parlor room. Vaggie sits in one of the lone chairs in the relaxing space with a furrowed eye.
AJ and Angel Dust are both sitting on opposite ends of the couch. The spider sinner has his phone in his right lower hand, scrolling through his Penstagram page as he lounged in the couch without any care.
The vigilante sinner is looking the opposite. His facial expression shows immense stress as his right leg is fidgeting, hopping up and down repeatedly by the tip of his shoe.
Both Vaggie and AJ look forward and watch Charlie pacing back and forth, struggling to keep her composure and try to look on the bright side of the terrible news. Keekee is walking with a hop and a skip alongside her owner, going either around or through Charlie's moving legs.
Charlie: *Trying to keep a positive smile on her face* The extermination is coming in six months instead of a year. *Stops, turns, and paces back* No big deal. Just a little setback.
As she stops and turns to pace back the other way again, Keekee eventually decides to stop pacing alongside her owner and lay down on the floor carpet in a bun.
Charlie: Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in ha-a-alf. *Her pacing grew quicker as she ultimately dropped her smile into a panicked frown* But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right?!
Vaggie and AJ, at the same time, sat up straight with wider eyes, the latter placing his right hand on his fidgeting knee and making his leg stay still. It's not hard to tell that Charlie is gradually putting herself in a state of panic as she speaks.
Charlie: And next time when they cut the time in half again! *Places her hands on her cheeks and mushes them* And again! *Throws her hands out, screaming* We'll just handle it, right?!
Vaggie was the first to get up from her seat, rushing over to her panicking girlfriend and softly grab her by the shoulders.
Vaggie: *Soft tone, her lips forming a soft smile* Yes. We will.
Her reassurance seems to have done the trick as Charlie is no longer breathing heavily and looking down to her girlfriend.
AJ pushed himself up off the couch and walked past Angel Dust and the coffee table. He stands just three feet away from the two, getting their attention to look back at him and see a soft smile on his face as well.
AJ: It'll be okay, Charlie. *Nods once* We'll figure something out before the carnage starts.
Vaggie nodded, agreeing with his encouraging statement.
Angel Dust: *Dubious* Oh, please.
Hearing his scoff gets the three to look back at him, Vaggie removing her hands from Charlie's shoulders and placing them on her hips as she and AJ both immediately look annoyed.
Angel Dust: Ya had less then *Looks up from his phone, lazily waving his upper left hand* half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. *Smirks* And now-
