Every Rose Has its thorn (a Hazbin hotel story)

chapter 2

Alexander sits in the breakroom staring at the TV in waiting. It's been a few weeks since he's met Charlie, Vaggie and Angel Dust, and he's quite amazed how much Angel has improved in these few weeks, for the most part anyway, he still flirts with him and still does some inappropriate things that the girls don't approve of, but it's Angel Dust, you can't expect him to go completely clean. And just after the extermination, it's just what they need.

He's also learnt a little more about what Charlie and Vaggie want to do, and he finds it kind of honourable. Hey, he doesn't want to die in an extermination, and as naïve as it is, it's a good second option. Why die when you could just better yourself to go to heaven? It's a good plan.

Of course it's near impossible, but since when is the impossible actually impossible? This is Hell.

But then again, their plan is kind of... loose. No physical interactions, no harmful mischievous acts, no problematic language. Sure, he sees how it can help, but he doubts it could actually work. You can't expect demons to just... drop their old habits. Isn't it a process? Like rehab?

Also, no "Satanic" or "Crude" music, no sex before Marriage, and all that good Christian stuff. He finds this problematic.

Yeah, sure, it's for the greater cause, but how does Music affect your chances getting redeemed? Is music even mentioned in the Bible? Being the Hotel's gardener is only a side job, after all, he has a role for where he is now, so he's not in the program... yet, as Charlie puts it.

Alexander feels a weight on his antlers and he smiles hearing quiet chatter and ruffling of feathers. Oli. Oli the Raven, Alexander's very own animal companion.

Oli is an odd little fellow. Hell's variety of animals is limited, very limited, so it was a surprise when Alexander first found him.

Chapter Text

Alexander sits in the breakroom staring at the TV in waiting. It's been a few weeks since he's met Charlie, Vaggie and Angel Dust, and he's quite amazed how much Angel has improved in these few weeks, for the most part anyway, he still flirts with him and still does some inappropriate things that the girls don't approve of, but it's Angel Dust, you can't expect him to go completely clean. And just after the extermination, it's just what they need.

He's also learnt a little more about what Charlie and Vaggie want to do, and he finds it kind of honourable. Hey, he doesn't want to die in an extermination, and as naïve as it is, it's a good second option. Why die when you could just better yourself to go to heaven? It's a good plan.

Of course it's near impossible, but since when is the impossible actually impossible? This is Hell.

But then again, their plan is kind of... loose. No physical interactions, no harmful mischievous acts, no problematic language. Sure, he sees how it can help, but he doubts it could actually work. You can't expect demons to just... drop their old habits. Isn't it a process? Like rehab?
