Hell's Hazbin Heroes

Scream Rain

Nico's POV:

I've been helping Vaggie manage the hotel today--washing dishes, supplying Cherri with her explosives, and whatever else she needs help with--and I'm now helping her fix the TV in the lobby.

Vaggie: *to sinner* "Don't worry. It'll be back working in a minute."

The screen is still kind of static-y, so I kick it a few times to clear it up as the news appears onscreen.

Tom Trent: *onscreen* "This just in: a historic deal has been struck between Voxtex & Carmine Industries."

Me: "What?"

Vaggie: "Oh, come on."

Tom: *onscreen* "This is such an exciting partnership. With Carmine's innovation with angel weaponry, who knows what this could mean for the war efforts?"

Vox & Carmilla shake hands onscreen.

Vox: *onscreen* "Voxtek loves women in STEM."

Tom: *onscreen* "And now for Hell's weather forecast: scream rain."

As if on cue, lightning flashes in the sky, emitting a scream. Vaggie rushes over to join Niffty, Baxter, Husk, Charlie, & Cherri Bomb at the bar.

Vaggie: "Guys, are you hearing this?"

Cherri: "I know, right? Rain has no business screaming like that."

Husk: *to Charlie* "I told you, Princess, I'm done playing therapist. I ain't good at it. Maybe you should ask Little Miss Can't Pick a Fucking Name. She's the one running the place."

Charlie: "Hmm, well, I don't really wanna speak to her right now. Besides, she's perfectly fine doing whatever she wants behind my back."

Vaggie: "Well, Husk, if you see Charlie, can you let her know I've been doing everything around the hotel already? So-*laughs*-It's not like it'll make a difference."

Charlie: "Well, Husk, if you see Vaggie, can you explain that hotel duties don't include inciting a war?"

Husk: "Enough! I'm so fucking done with this petty high school bullshit. I'm out!"

Charlie: "Whoa. Wait. What?"

Charlie stops Husk from walking away.

Charlie: "No, no, no, you can't leave. The...the bar needs you."

Husk: *shrugs* "Too bad. Alastor's gone, so I'm gone. I got no reason to stick around."

Husk then resumes walking to the front door.

Cherri: "Hey. What about Angel?"

Husk stops in the doorway at the mention of Angel.

Husk: "What about him? He's a grown-up. He doesn't need me."

With that, Husk leaves.

Charlie: "Great, now someone has to take over the bar, too. Fuck my life."

Vaggie: "Hmm, I wonder who that's gonna be."

Me: "Well, I promised Angel I'd help him out with something at work once I was done helping you out around here, but I can take over for Husk once we're done."

Vaggie: *sighs* "Thanks, Nico."

Vox: *onscreen; laughs* "And with Carmilla's aid, we can finally fulfill Lilith's dream."
