On the balcony of the Hazbin Hotel, Blitz is sitting on the chair as he holds Tilla in his arms, as she drinks the sippy cup full of warm milk. Blitz looks out to see the view of Pentagram City. He has to admit, it looks very different from the world he knows and raised in.

"Hey Blitz," A familiar voice calls out.

Blitz turns to see Angel Dust walking onto the balcony with Fat Nuggets in his lower arms.

"Hi Angel, what's up?" Blitz replies.

"Well, I'm getting bored being in the hotel, and I wanted to do something, and then something hit me. You don't have a cell phone yet, right?" Angel responds.

"That's true. I've been here for a few weeks now and don't have any electronics or too many clothes from my home world," Blitz says.

"Well then, how about I take you and the family to do some shopping," Angel says.

"Are you sure? You don't have to?" Blitz asks.

"I don't mind. Consider this as a way of owing you for saving my butt a couple of weeks ago," Angel says.

"Well, as long as you're okay with it," Blitz says and stands up from the chair, "Mind if Loona and the others come?"

"Sure. The more the merrier," Angel says.

"Well then, mind if I accompany you as well," A radio voice appears.

Angel and Blitz turn to see Alastor walking onto the balcony.

"You wanna come too?" Angel questions, arching an eyebrow.

"Why of course. I can help Blitz and his family find some proper attire," Alastor says.

Angel rolls his eyes, "Yeah, right. Your proper attire is old fashioned from the 1920s. What they need are clothes that are like now. Like modern clothes."

"Just because you're fine with wearing those types of clothing, doesn't mean Blitz or his family are entitled to do the same," Alastor says.

Blitz gets in between them, "Alright alright, let's not argue. You both can help us with it."

"Sounds good to me," Angel says.

"Of course," Alastor says.

Sometime later...

Blitz and his family are now out in the city to get some clothes and possibly some means of communication and electronics. However, their trip comes to a halt due to Angel Dust and Alastor. Mainly their argument about Blitz and his family's lifestyle. Blitz has tried to get them to stop the argument, but they keep ignoring him and continue on with their little dispute.

"I'm telling you, Alastor. Blitz and his family have to learn about modern technology and attire someday. I mean, everyone in Hell is into modern tech these days," Angel says, "They also deserve to try some new stuff, clothes, electronics, traveling, and all that shit."

"And I'm telling you that they don't need to give in to the weak minded ways of today. They already have good style and proper attire just the way they are," Alastor says, "Take notes from someone who actually had style and proper media."

Angel scoffs, "Yeah right. Your idea of style is as old as the old camera box gathering dust."

"I suggest you don't talk like that about my camera," Alastor says with his eyes glowing red, "At least I have more class than the annoying flat headed picture box who enjoys these annoying machines."

"Says you. People use these electronics like phones, emails, and computers for everything, and to let people know. My job also requires using modern film equipment as well," Angel says, annoyed.
