Another day. Another morning in Hell.

If there was one good thing Stella could compliment Charlie on when she made Hazbin Hotel, it was that the beds were pretty decent. It was nothing compared to what Stella had in her former lifestyle, but she still got her eight hours of beauty sleep. Back in her old home, Stella often slept until it was ten in the morning, then went down for breakfast that was already prepared while Stolas and Octavia were doing their own thing.

Now she was waking up around six o'clock to make breakfast for her friends. Alastor didn't count since he was never around for breakfast. He only ever appeared in the afternoon and evening, which was fine for Stella. The less of the Radio Demon, the better.

Once her daily stretching and lip-smacking were done, the former Princess went through her morning rituals: toilet, shower, deo, teeth, makeup, nails, and was almost finished putting on her clothes without any incident whatsoever. That was until there was an explosion nearby. Pausing in her steps, Stella sighed before putting on her pink sweater with the Goetia family symbol, opening her door, and walking out into the hall.

Already, she saw Vaggie slamming her fists on Sir Pentious' door just a few feet down. " Pentious! Open up!"

The snake overlord did so, causing a thick cloud of black smoke to come out of it. This wasn't the first time his inventions caused the fire or gas alarm to go off. He poked his head out nervously and waved his hand. "H-H-Hello, Vaggie. I was...uh...redecorating?"

"Redecorating involves waking us all up to the sound of a mini-bomb going off? Again?" She sighed as she rubbed her temple. "Please tell me you didn't blow another hole in the wall?"

"Well, I can safely say that it is not on the wall. More like the ceiling," He said with a nervous chuckle as a burned and smoking Niffty soon walked out, stumbling a bit, but never once losing her smile.

"That was fun. Can I do that again?" Niffty asked in excitement.

"Niffty, just go get cleaned up," Vaggie sighed.

"Okay!" She said before zooming away past Stella's room. "Morning Stella! Morning, Charlie!"

Stella turned her head to watch her go off as a surprised Charlie jumped out of the way to let the red speed demon get past her. The Princess gave a small smile, then noticed Stella and cheerfully greeted her with a good morning before heading over to the confrontation in the halls. "Morning! I take it we're all awake and ready for another day of trying to achieve redemption!"

"More like going to get ready to fix another mess in this hotel," Vaggie muttered while shaking her head in annoyance. "Can't you stop making stuff that will blow up every five minutes? I know you're a former Overlord and all, but it's getting to be as bad as finding Husk's beer bottles everywhere."

"But I must create my works of art! Science and invention are the keys to my entire being! If I do not have that, I am nothing!" Sir Pentious said dramatically as he flailed his arms before huffing. "You are just sssstiffing my creativity!"

"I'll be stuffing you with my fist if you don't-"

"Everyone! Calm down! It's early in the morning," Charlie said as she got between them and nervously chuckled. "Let's try to make it to the afternoon without another argument."

Stella snorted. That was a losing bet, and she knew it.

"Sir Pentious, why don't you focus on inventing outside for a time, and maybe we can consider making a room specifically for your inventions?" Charlie suggested with a hopeful smile.

"Hmm, it is nice weather out..." Sir Pentious reflected before nodding. "Very well. Thisssss is ssssomething we can do."

"And the hole?" Vaggie asked with a raised eyebrow.
