*Last time on Dead Beat Dad,*
Mimzy asked while approaching the bar as Alastor followed the four Charlie, Vaggie and Lucifer. “So, where can a girl get a drink around here? *Notices Husk as he grunted* My, my, is that Husker? Alastor still has you slinging hooch for him, I see. *Chuckles* Classic! How ya been, furball?"
Husk spoke "Good until five minutes ago."
Mimzy asks "Oh, don't tell me you're not happy to see me. You might hurt my feelins. *Giggles* Hey Niffty, whatcha' been up to, girlie?"
Niffty spoke "Fighting bugs."
Mimzy asks "*As a bug was scuttling by* And uh, how's that going for you?"
Niffty spoke "They're winning. *Darkly smiles with a knife in her left hand* But not for long."
Mimzy spoke "Uh-huh... *As a glass of liquor stops in front of her* Thanks, pussy cat!"
Husk spoke "Oh, fuck you."
Angel asks "*As Mindy drank some liquor* So uh, you and Alastor are like what? Friends?"
Mimzy giggles "Well, that’s your word, not mine, but I think it fits. *As Angel drank some booze* Why so surprised?"
Danyelle had told Beezelbub about the upcoming wedding.
Danyelle spoke "I've yet to tell Blitzo but I don't think he'd take the news that well."
Beelzebub asks "He’s a bit of a mess?"
Danyelle spoke "Worse... He's overprotective of Loona. Good freaking grief, she's 18."
Vortex spoke "I know, but I can tell he means well."
Danyelle spoke "She needs to set some boundaries..."
*back at the hotel*
Angel asks "Well, just didn't know he had any of those. He's been here a while and is still a big, creepy mystery. What's his deal?"
"Yeah, I'm kinda curious about it too." I admitted.
Loona spoke "Same here."
Mimzy spoke "Well, you probably heard the stories. He appeared in Hell suddenly, making a splash quicker than anyone had ever seen. At first, people wanted to dismiss him, but soon overlords started goin' missing, and not small ones neither. We're talking heavy hitters. No one knew what happened to 'em until these strange radio broadcasts started going out. All you could hear was screams. Every time an overlord went missing, there'd be a new voice screaming in the broadcast. That's when Alastor revealed himself as the Radio Demon, and anyone that would mess with him... *Laughs* Well, let's just say his broadcast never lacked new voices."
Loona clutched onto me as both of our fur and hair stood on end in fear and horror after hearing that.
Layla spoke "M-maybe we should stay on his good side...."
Mimzy asks "That's the story most people know, but underneath it all... He's a total sweetie. Put on some jazz and pour a couple fingers of rye, and he becomes a kitten. *Notices our silence with some of us blinking once* Stop with the looks. He hasn't done any of that in a while. *Raises glass* Can I get another one of these? *Notices Husk gone* Oh, what the fuck?"
Duskfeather spoke "Alastor's one helluva scary guy when he gets really mad."
*Danyelle's POV*
After telling Bee and Tex about the wedding, I teleported back to the Hazbin Hotel, catching up with Charlie, Vaggie, Lucifer and Alastor.
Charlie spoke "So, once we have the proof that redemption is possible, this whole hotel will be full of demons wanting to check out into Heaven. We just need a little more time to prove it. The sharing circles haven't been working as fast as I hoped.
But due to my hearing, I heard Husk approach Alastor. "Ey, Boss? Can I have a word?"
As we kept walking with Charlie talking, Alastor staying behind, turning his head a full 180 before turning his whole body around before asking, "What is it?"
Husk asks "You and I both know Mimzy only shows up when she needs somethin'. That bitch is trouble, and who knows what kinda demon she fucked with to come running to you this time?"
Alastor asks "It's nothing I can't handle. Don't worry Husker. *Starts to walk away* Who in their right mind would cross me?"
Husk spoke "I mean... you've been gone a while and it's not like anybody knows why."
Alastor spoke "They don't need to know. *Pets Husk's left ear* And don't you worry your fuzzy head about it."
Husk spoke "*Growls* You may own my soul, but I ain't your fucking pet!"
Alastor spoke "Hmhm! *Spins head* But you are! *Starts walking off again* Haha!"
Husk spoke "Big talk for someone who's also on a leash."
I then noticed the lights flickering.
Alastor asks "Aha, *Buffers with radio dial eyes* what did you say?"
I then heard chains clanking.
Husk spoke "Oh, fuck! *Thud!* Nothing I, um- *Chokes*"
Alastor spoke "If you ever say that again, I will tear your soul apart and broadcast your screams for every other disrespectful wretch *With lights flickering red and green* who dares to question me."
Husk spoke "Understood."
I then noticed the lights were glowing normally again.
Alastor spoke "Lovely. *Chuckles* Good talk, my good man! Always nice to catch up. *Walks off*"
After hearing that, every single fur and hair on me were standing on end in horror, as I found myself unable to speak temporarily out of instinctual fear.
I spoke via telepathy "{That was fucking nuts Husk!}"
I got bowled over by a familiar Mobian vixen.
I gasp "Get the fuck off me!"
The vixen spoke "S-Sorry!"
I ask "Kikyo? Is that really you?"
Kikyo asks "Dany?"
I spoke "No fucking way! It is you!"
Kikyo hugged me as I hugged her back while we were on the balcony with Charlie, Vaggie and Lucifer.
Vaggie spoke "And we've almost been able to find all of Angel's drug stashes... Almost."
Charlie spoke "So once that's out of the way it should be much smoother sailing."
Lucifer spoke "Well, that certainly is, uh... is-is something."
Charlie asks "So... What do you think?"
Lucifer asks "About what?"
Charlie spoke "The hotel."
Lucifer spoke "Oh yes, it does... it does look much better now, doesn't it? *Chuckles* Ya know, but I'm thinking this railing needs work, one good push and you'd just go right over the edge. Whoopie, bye-bye. *Laughs*"
Charlie asks "What? No, no, the plan, Dad! What do you think about using the hotel to help sinners?"
Lucifer spoke "Ahh. Alright, I mean, look... I love that you want to see the best in people, but these sinners... You know, they're just the worst. I, I don't know how much you can realistically expect from them in Heaven. Hohooo boy, Heaven is not exactly as carefree as you might think. Yeah, they have rules. Lots of rules. And they aren't very open-minded as you'd hope."
Faust contacted me before hearing all of that as I heard her innocently whistling in my head.
I was snickering for some odd reason, which was confusing for Lucifer and Charlie.
Charlie spoke "These are our people Dad, I... I have to try."
Lucifer spoke "Our "people", Charlie, are awful! They got gifted free will and look what they did with it! Everything's terrible! *Wheeze!* I just don't want you to put yourself on the line for people like-"
But then a loud thud was heard as we stumbled a bit with the place slightly shaking.
Vaggie asks "Geez! What now?!"
Lucifer spoke "*Looks down* Well, like that!"
I looked down, seeing a mob of loan shark demons, who are literally sharks.
One Loan Shark spoke "Mimzy, we know you're in there you lousy bitch!"
The loan sharks were trying to ram into the restaurant.
Mimzy spoke "*Nervously* Oh, shit."
I teleported us back to the main floor.
Vaggie asks "Que carajo?"
Charlie asks "What's going on?"
Mimzy spoke "I maaaaaaaay be in some trouble with some loan shark's I may or may not have borrowed fifty grand from-*Another thud heard, making her hid behind the bar counter* Eep!"
Loan Shark spoke "You better come out."
Mimzy spoke "*As the thuds kept happening* And I may have stolen a car... and crashed it... into the loan shark's girlfriend. But that bitch had it coming!"
I storm out while in Avatar Mode, causing pillars of fire to erupt and the ground was shaking violently.
I snap "ALL OF YOU! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"
But then burning stones came bursting in, crashing through windows.
Niffty spoke "My windows!"
Sir Pentious spoke "Ah! We're under siege! Ah! Take cover!
Angel asks "Look out! What the fuck?!"
Lucifer spoke "Ya see, this is exaaactly what I'm talking about Charlie. You build something nice, you invite people in and offer them everything and they just bring violence and chaos to your doorstep. It doesn't matter how well-intentioned you are, they're always going to disappoint you."
Sir Pentious spoke "*Grabs Niffty* Niffty, come along! *Swipes her from falling debris*"
Vaggie spoke "All of you, get a safe distance. I'll take care of this."
Alastor spoke "No, my dear, leave it to me. It's time I remind everyone why I am here. *Smiles darkly with radio dial eyes*"
Mimzy spoke "Oh, finally. Took ya long enough!"
I then started getting ready to help Alastor.
Alastor spoke "A reminder to all, not to mess *Glows green with the hotel while his antlers grew longer and tentacles emerging from his back with him having radio dial eyes* with the Radio Demon."
Alastor laughed evilly as his tentacles skewered some loan sharks, wrecked some devices of theirs and tore one loan shark apart.
Mimzy spoke "Yeah!"
Alastor came out of the hotel in his full demon form, which was really unnerving as the loan sharks screamed in fear while running in horror. "I will devour each and *With eyes and teeth glowing while speaking without moving his mouth* every one of you!"
Lucifer spoke "Mhm, ya see? What I tell ya? Charlie, sinners are violent psychopaths, hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as they can. There's really no point in trying."
Charlie asks "Dad, stop! He's defending this hotel. *As Alastor ate a loan shark* It may be a bit more sadistic than I'd hoped. But he's doing it for me! How can he have faith in me, but my own father can't?"
Angel spoke "Ooh, *Brings out a tub of popcorn as Husk ate one* drama."
I rip the head of a loan shark clean of the shoulders before ripping a scrawny one in half.
Soon, all of the loan sharks here were dead. Even though they'll come back, I hope that taught them not to make me mad.
Alastor spoke "*Shifting back to normal* Oh, I missed getting to let off steam."
Mimzy spoke "Oh, Alastor! What a fantastic show. *Claps hands while coming out* Bravo, as always. Thanks for helpin' lil' old me outta a tough spot, you're always such a pal. *As a pole crashed* Oops. Heheheh, sorry about the mess, but I'm sure the lil' bug can take care of it for ya."
Alastor spoke "I think you should go, Mimzy. Now."
Why is this reminding me of Rainbow Dash and Gilda?
Mimzy spoke "Oh pff, Alastor, you're such a kidder you! Haha, you are so funny..."
Alastor spoke "I mean it. You deliberately brought danger to this place just to have me clean up your mess. I can't have that here."
Mimzy spoke "But you love takin' care a' me! What? You don't actually give a shit about this tacky place, do ya? Come on. I know you. You heartless son of a bitch."
Alastor spoke "You are welcome if you actually want to give redemption a shot. But I think we both know that's not really your style. So you need to leave."
Mimzy spoke "*Splutters* Fine! Who needs ya? Have fun with ya lil' princess and ya lil' hotel. *Leaves while flipping the bird* See if I care."
Mimzy stomped off in a rage as Husk smiled at that before turning back around, having a tub of popcorn while Sir Pentious was reading a book.
Angel spoke "*Eating popcorn* This is really getting good."
I ask "Hey Ryōta, when is the wedding?"
Ryōta spoke "*Blushes* July."
"Smart." I smiled.
Charlie spoke "Dad... just... help me."
Lucifer spoke "I... I can't."
Charlie asks "Why can't you?"
A song started playing in my head.
Lucifer spoke "Charlie! *Gasp!* You don't understand, Heaven never listens. They didn't listen to me, they won't listen to you."
Charlie spoke "You don't know that!"
Charlie spoke "*With tears* I do!"
The two returned while hugging each other before the portal vanished with Lucifer withdrawing his wings.
That... That really warmed my heart.
Sir Pentious spoke "*With big and teary eyes, same with his hat* Aww, that was sweet.
A portal opens up before High Goddess Faust steps out.
High Goddess Faust spoke "It's been too long Lucifer."
Lucifer asks "Oh, hey Faust. *Turns to Charlie* Okay, I can help get you the meeting, but once you're in Heaven, I won't be able to go with you. Will you be okay?"
Charlie spoke "*Grabs Lucifer's staff hand with both of hers* I'll be fine."
Lucifer spoke "*Places his other hand on hers* That's my girl. *Sigh* Good luck kiddo."
I spoke "I'll go with her just in case that asshole tries anything."
Vaggie asks "This next part is gonna be scary. You ready, Charlie?"
Charlie spoke "I'm ready. *Hugs Vaggie as she hugged her back* 'Cause you'll be with me."
Vaggie asks "In spirit, right?"
Charlie spoke "In Heaven."
Vaggie spoke "*Nervously* Yay!"
I noticed that nervous expression, which made me curious.
