Waiting for you...(Male Reader X Hazbin Hotel)

Chapter 3: Nice to finally meet you

When the guy and small figure left my room, I was filled with more questions than answers. "This can't be real. I know I accepted what I saw earlier but I thought it was just a fever dream. I suppose I'll look for the one he called Charlie, hopefully she'll at least give me some answers". I got up from my bed and headed out the corridor towards the elevator, as I was waiting for it, I thought I saw strange symbols out of the corner of my eye. As soon as I tried to get a good look at them, they seemingly vanished, at least I think they vanished if they were there at all. " I'm going to pretend I didn't notice that, just in case that bites me in the back later on." As I stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to lead me to the lobby, my head started to throb so hard I wanted to pass out. As I opened my eyes I see that the symbols I saw before were more prominent than before, not only that but the elevator began to make noise. "Now that I think about it, is this thing safe." I looked around before the elevator suddenly dropped, going full force to the lobby. As it was doing this the interior of the elevator started to crumble away, as if it was aging rapidly. The only thought that came to my mind is if I was going to survive this crash or if my remains were going to be visible, but as soon as the elevator was close to the lobby it started to slow down. I kept my eyes and ears closed throughout the whole duration as I was too afraid to see what was happening, as everything quiet down though I opened my eyes only to notice that the elevator doors were now open and that everything turned back to normal.

I looked out to see if anyone was standing besides the entrance of the elevator or the main hall of the Hotel. I noticed a grey skinned woman walking along the main lobby of the hotel, "I'm guessing she's the one that guy warned me about". As I peak around the elevator door I notice that she is close to the front door of the hotel. "Maybe if I just sneak around very quietly she won't notice me." I take another peek to the left of the front entrance, scanning the room. There seemed to be someone on the couch with white fluffy hair in the lounge, conversing with what sounded like another person near the bar. "I suppose I'd have to sneak out the back, probably the way I came in." Not knowing the layout exactly, I began to crawl my way around the bar behind the couches in the lounge. I then saw what looked like a cat behind the bar watching me sneak around, he said nothing and just continued his conversation. Eventually I made my way to a back room and as I was about to turn the door handle I noticed that it was either locked or at the very least jammed. "No, please dont do this now you stupid door", I said silently as I was fiddleing with the handle. I got up from the floor and started to pull on the door until the door handle just broke off. "Oh you've got to be kidding me", I said quietly. " What the fuck are you doing...?"

A voice said behind me. Hearing the voice made me jump causing me to hit my head on the door with tremendous force that it ended up opening the door. Rubbing my head I looked behind me to see the grey skinned women looking back at me, glaring at me with judging eyes. I tripped on my own foot as I was trying to get my balance and fell right on my back. "Uhh, can I help you ma'am". " No, but you mind telling me what you're doing here",she replied. "Uhh i'm not so sure I just sort of woke up in a ro-" "Not in your room, back HERE" she exclaimed, "I-I was just, umm". Before I could explain why I was here, the tall white creature that I saw before was standing right behind her, his head reaching the top of the door frame but just short enough to almost reach the top of the ceiling. " What are you bitching about now?...oh... hello there short stuff." I saw the creature come close to me, reaching a hand towards me to pick me up, because of his large stature he freaked me out causing me to move back into what felt like a pair of legs. I looked up to see a white face looking down at me, starting off with a frown but turning into a giant smile. I tried to get away from what was before me but she grabbed onto me before I could escape the room. I tried my best to wiggle my way out of her grasp but I eventually just gave up, slumped over, and accepted my fate. I looked back up to see that they were all staring at me, with disgust, excitement, and curiosity.

"OH MY GOD YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE!" spinning me around to face her "MY NAMES CHARLIE!!!!!!" she screams, shaking me viciously as I flop around. " Please stop shaking me Ms.", I say as I try not to vomit on everyone. She lightly sets me down, quivering as I try to stand up straight. "So, you're here to get rehabilitated?" She asks. "Umm, I don't mean any offense but I was actually just running away from someone... I-I don't know much about what's going on with, well, all t-this..." I replied nervously, backing myself up a few steps from everyone in front of me until I was cornered into a wall. "Oh well since you're down here and well, here of all places why not stay",Charlie replied. "But i don't even have any money, I'm sorry..". "I am sure we can work that out later, besides you may be able to stay for free and well, you seem pretty lost." "I mean, I'd hate to intrude-" "NONSENSE, I am always happy to help out other demons in need." She interrupted. "Demons?. Hehe I'm not a demon...", I replied. "Well of course you are. You are in hell after all, but don't worry too much about it." she replied. "Wait....I'm really in hell...." I replied anxiously. "YUP, and since you may be staying here with us for the time being, i suppose it would be rude not to introduce yourself to everyone." She said with excitement. "I-I don't know if-" she interrupts "Here, i'll introduce them to you first if you aren't comfortable introducing yourself first".As shes says this she pulls me towards the other two ''Demons'' that were behind her. "This right here is my lovely companion Vaggie, she helps around the hotel" Vaggie simply nods. "AND right over here is Angel. He's a current resident and friend of ours." I look over to Angel, his eyes staring right at me with the full intent to do something to me. "Well nice to meet ya buddy, maybe you could come over to my room later on in the night, i'd like to show you a collection of mine.", Angel said. "T-Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather stay in my room for the time being". "Suit yourself shawty", he replied before walking away. " I would show you the other Demons who are working here, but I don't know where they went off to, except Husk who's at the main lobby." "Is he the cat person", I quietly replied. "Yes he's the cat person", she responded quickly.

"Actually, I think I met the other 2 hotel workers, Nifty and Alastor were their names?", I questionably replied. "Well well, it seems you met everyone here then, well since you know everyone here now, what's your name." "Oh my name is....it's..(y/n).", I said reluctantly. "Nice to finally meet you", Charlie outstretched her hand for a handshake but was quickly pulled away by Vaggie. "Oh come on Vaggie he isn't going to screw me over like Alastor tries to whenever he gets the chance". "I know but I still don't trust him, even if he says and does innocent stuff, it still might be an act",Vaggie replied. "Umm, you two know I'm right behind you right." "No one asked for your opinion!", Vaggie replied. "Yes ma'am, sorry ma'am.", I said in a fearful tone. "Oh c'mon Vaggie, he's not doing any harm, he's just a frightened newcomer...who somehow ended up in hell...matter of fact.", Charlie turns to me, "how did you end up in hell" "Mrs. Charlie...I am just as confused as you are, I just sort of woke up here." "There's no need to be that formal, just call me Charlie''. "Haaha, of course", I said nervously, "I suppose I b-best be on my way to my room". "Let my assistant escort you back to your room", Charlie said enthusiastically. "WHAT!!!", both you and Vaggie said aloud.

Charlie turns to Vaggie, "You don't have to talk to him, you just have to escort him back to his room." "Alright, but this doesn't mean I will have a friendly conversation with him", Vaggie replied. "Wait....are you actually going to talk to him." "More like interrogating him but yeah, let's go with what you said." As Vaggie and Charlie finished their conversation, Vaggie gestured to me to move along with her. You both passed by husk who could give less of a shit if you existed or not, you both then entered the elevator.
