Scared to live

Chapter 2. The deal

After angels storming exit through the fallen atrium. The radio demon would proceed to open the door, but held-back to eavesdrop on the Hazbin couple.

"Well...this isn't how I imagined our luck unfolding." Said Charlie "not only is half our budget drained, our atrium destroyed, zero quests, now we have lost our best and only spokesman." (Vaggie grunts) and says "not much of a loss really...he didn't Evan do this for the hotel. Just the free service."

Charlie has her hands rub down her face and say with deep defeat. "No loss? We have nothing, Practically nothing to lose now! I'M...BROKE! Witch means I can't afford to fix the atrium or keep this place running for another month." "Can't you get another loan." Said vaggie "it's all around you, everything went into the hotel. "Unless you have some money?" Vaggie sighed in disappointment and said "what about your parents." Charlie with her head flat on the desk replied "dont Evan go there. afraid I don't have dime to spare." "maybe I DO!" Said the radio demon. Vaggie and Charlie jumped in shock from the radio demons unseen presence skirt from the shadows. "Sorry if I've interrupt your squabble, but I'm..." in instant timing vaggie took two spears that could detach, putting the radio demons throat in a vices position. Vaggie tilted her blade right of Als Adam and stated

"listen! We know who you are, so no need for introductions, and second we ban many of many things here but I'll only go through two demon. One is drugs and liquor, second is murderers. Now take your butcher bubble and leave."

The radio demon kept his wide smile and kept to his calm manner. He the replied "madame please... I'm not here to spring any rough tally then I already have, but I'm here to talk business."

He then narrowed his eye to the wall following along a shadow similar to him following along
To Vaggies left side where she stood exclaimed as her weapon flew and pinged to the ceiling.

The radio demon spoke again and said "isn't that better, now pull up a chair so we can start this over."

The radio demons shadow pulled a chair onto V, forcing her to sit.

Alastor said "Now listen, I understand their has been troubles in this startup and people have not listened. One thing you must know no matter the heroics you put out this simply will not work!"

Charlie looked with concern and said "How can you be so certain, we haven't Evan opened." Alastor replied "darling Evan if people wanted to go to heaven for the sake of themselves... ask yourself, why did they build a hell in the first place if not to keep evil here!"

Alastor walked around the room with his microphone "I have been here a long time your majesty!" Said Alastor "and I know this will get you what you want though, and in return I can get the pleasure of overseeing the progress!"

"Wait." replied V "first you say it's impossible to turn people good, but then you say we can. How exactly?"

"Well obviously it won't, doesn't mean it'll stop people from wanting to get into heaven! The reason I am only doing this is to watch how others force themselves to become better! Suffering from themselves and their inner demons! Especially if they are ones."

V and Charlie look to each other in confusion. Charlie then says "so...what exactly is it you want to do with this place."

Alister kept his winning smile and replied "I'll invest in your endeavour and repair all the damage that was made by me."

V shocked and enraged said "wait a minute, that was you! You destroyed half of our hotel!"

"but the dynamite." Said Charlie

"I apologize ," Said Alister "I lost my temper between me and your employees endeavour."

"By setting out home on fire." Said V.

Alastor smiles put is pulled a little by embarrassment "sometimes I get too enthused I admit that."

"...Angel." V deep in thought replied."

Alister admitted he started the fire and proposed a deal. "I will invest and assist in your venture under three conditions."

"One: I am not admitting myself nor will I suffice nor admit my actions that done for the quests as well as the hotel."

"Two: you will permit the use of alcohol to your quests."

V exclaimed "No way! This hotel is meant to discourage such use! I wo-."

Alister interrupted "listen, if you want people to come you have to give them something to come for, otherwise they'll never stay. After all, who said you had to be sober for heaven."

"And three: you must hire your spider back."

V said in doubt "look angel may not have blew up the hotel, but that doesn't mean we need to hire a booze-crazed, half-assed pervert in some case of moral Charlie."

Charlie looked v and said "we should give him another chance. He's not the most invested, but maybe it can work, plus let it be noted I may have been a little too hard on him."

Alister spoke out "plus we could use somebody who catches a "specific" eye to draw in more customers."

Alister then raised his hand in green and said "well... is a deal going to be made."

Charlie did not know what to decide. True the hotel would never consider such pretence service, but maybe for now this could work for a start in order to have this place in business.

V look to Charlie in consideration "please Charlie, I know we need the support. Though we don't have their must be anyone besides him."

Alister interjected "maybe your right, could find somebody better. Or worst."

Charlie tried to find reason to say no, but then the odds had to be settled one way or another.

Alister kept his smile and said. "It only takes one push to get back up, will you?"
