That midnight, after she tucked Balin in, Loona fell asleep herself on the couch after watching her favourite goth rock band in concert live on her TV, before it switched over to the midnight news.

On Channel 666 News:

KATIE KILLJOY - "Breaking news: Tonight's Edible Gold Theatre presentation of Octavia Ars Goetia's return to the family throne has become into a standing ovation, after the special guest appearance of what appears to be a little human, who also appears to have become friends with the 17-year-old heir."

TOM TRENCH - Beg pardon Katie, isn't that also the same human the guests at Princess Charlie's projectile hotel claimed to spot a few weeks ago?

KATIE KILLJOY - If only I had a fucking clue on what hotel you're talking about Tom.

(At the Hazbin Hotel, Charlie snarled hearing those insensitive comments as she watched TV in bed with Vaggie sleeping right next to her.)

KATIE KILLJOY - But I'm glad you brought up that subject either way Tom, because in even more breaking news, tomboy-ish overlord Missi Zilla has still yet to be found.

Soon, the telephone on the desk in between them started ringing, and Tom pressed the answer button.

KATIE KILLJOY - "And what the fuck do you want tonight?"

On the other side of the telephone was the screams of Missi Zilla that were heard during the big chase between her and I.M.P during their first meeting with Hazbin Hotel.

TOM TRENCH - (Shrugs) "Case closed, I guess."

KATIE KILLJOY - "Hip-hip hooray. There you have it folks, Alastor the Radio Demon, you have done it again."


Meanwhile, Striker was getting himself ready for a big meeting of some sort. He was in a familiar hotel room, one he stayed in after failing to kill Stolas the first time at the Harvest Moon Festival. 

After getting the rubble cleaned out of his overalls, ... and his ass, he went outside and walked downstairs to call Stella ahead that he was ready, before petting the snout of his flame-engulfed horse, Firebomb.

"We had us some big times together big hoss." he told him in a soothing tone. "But now, it's time to mosey on."

With a slap at its rear end, Firebomb then ran far away from Striker and the hotel at the speed of a very strong lion.

"FIND OUT WHAT THEY'RE UP TO FOR US!" he yelled to it one last time, before the portal to the DHORKS headquarters opened.

Stella waited right out in front with an evil smirk on her face and her hand out to him, almost like she was asking for his in marriage.

"Pleasure of you to finally join us, cowboy." she said in a mockingly seductive voice.

"Pleasure's all mine, my dear." he replied. "And that's only before I can give it to the rest of y'all newbies."

Agent One then approached him with distrust at first, but then took Stella's word for it that he could be trusted to now help them out with their combined cause. "Allow us to introduce ourselves, Mr... Stoker?"

"Striker." he flatly replied. "And don't you ever forget that, partner."

"Noted." Agent Two shook his hand, while One just pouted. "Hey! I was getting to that!"

"Were ya?" laughed Striker.

"Alright, let's get along for now so that we can do it later." Stella said. "For now, I want to give you the grand tour of the place."
