Hello ladies and Gentlemen of . So, this is sort of an extension of another story I've written on the site known as the Sins. It's not too important to have read this story but it introduces my own characters and gives a short synopsis on what they look like and what they can do. Again not crucial but it could help to minimize confusion to just skim over the first chapter.

It was an early morning in hell and the only clue of any stirring was one open window where the princess of hell was looking over the nearby area of the Happy Hotel, or the Hazbin Hotel as Alastor called it. Though the place before her was a cesspool of murderers, and the worst things one could imagine Charlie thought it was quite a beautiful morning. Charlie took a deep breath before leaving the window and rushing downstairs.

"Good Morning everyone" Charlie yelled in a singsong voice. There was a few moments of silence before a loud complaint could be heard nearby.

'Aww, c'mon. I was tryin ta sleep here" the voice was quickly identified as Angeldust appeared down the stairs yawning widely. "Why do ya gotta wake up so early anyway" the spider demon complained. There was a little tumbling noise from a nearby chimney and the tiny form of Nifty joined them.

"Good Morning miss Charlie, morning Angeldust" Nifty greeted them.

"Does anybody here sleep" Angeldust complained. "Morning Nift". There was an angry grunt behind the counter that made up the hotel's bar/reception desk. The feline form of Husk blinked rapidly.

"Shit… Is it morning already" he asked? Rubbing his forehead as if hungover which he probably was.

"It's been morning for… Three hours now I think. Or that's when it started getting light" Nifty chipped in.

"Morning everyone" came the semi-exhausted reply from the stairs. Vaggie had woken up as well and decided to join them.

Angeldust seemed to be getting annoyed by the constant greetings. "Is that everyone or do we got like three more goodmornings to give out"?

"It's pretty much everyone. Except I don't see Alastor anywhere" Charlie answered in her normal chipper fashion.

"Alastor left the hotel about two hours ago. He didn't say where he was going though" Nifty told them.

"Good. That guy gives me the creeps" Angeldust complained.

"For once we agree" Vaggie said.

"Aww come on Vaggie, he's not that bad. At least he's trying to help us… Right" Charlie stood up for the creepy radio demon.

"I still don't trust him and I don't think you should either" Vaggie warned. "I'm telling you he's up to something. He's not trying to help us out of the goodness of his own heart". Suddenly Angeldust got up and stretched.

"Well as cool as it'd be to stay here and gossip with you all I'm going out" Angeldust told them. Heading for the door.

"Oh no, you're not. Do you think I'd forget about that stunt you pulled with that Turf War" Vaggie told him.

Angeldust turned back around. "Whaaat. It was no big deal. My girl buddy needed a solid I told ya. Won't happen again slut's honor". He reassured the Moth Demon.

One of Vaggie's eyes twitched. "Ya know what. Fine, go out but if you drag this hotel's name through the mud again I will use my spear and cut off two of your arms".

Angeldust shrugged, "lookin forward to it" he said before walking outside. Charlie rested an arm over Vaggie's shoulders.

"You alright" Charlie asked?

"Yeah, he just gets under my skin" Vaggie said calming down a little.

"Good to know you're okay. Vaggie if you wouldn't mind, would you watch the hotel while I go out to spread the word" Charlie asked? Even though the segment on the 666 NEWS network had been a bust Charlie still went out everyday to put up posters, flyers, and tell anyone who would listen about the Happy Hotel and what it meant to do.

Of course most of those flyers and posters got ripped down very quick and very few demons would actually give her the time of day. She hadn't run into anyone willing to listen to her since the NEWS segment but Charlie wasn't willing to give up.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you" Vaggie asked? Charlie waved her off.

"Yeah, someone needs to stay here and make sure nothing goes wrong. Husk would probably just drink himself into another coma" Charlie began to explain.

"Fuck yeah I would" Husk cut in.

Charlie and Vaggie stared at him for a few moments before Charlie started explaining again. "I can't put Nifty in charge of the place. No offense Nifty". Charlie said to the little demon. Nifty gave a none taken and scurried back up the chimney presumably to get back to work. "And anyway, if I run into any trouble I've got Razzle and Dazzle". Charlie pointed to the door and her twin goat bodyguards peered in and waved at them.

"Alright. If you're sure you'll be okay. Please be careful" Vaggie advised.

"You know I will" Charlie called to her walking out the door and waving until she was outside. Vaggie sighed and went upstairs.

"Let me know if anyone shows up. Alright Husk" Vaggie said turning to the cat demon.

Husk grunted, "yeah sure, you'll be the first to know" he reassured. Vaggie was satisfied with that and left him to the bar. Husk gave a satisfied sigh. "Ah, finally some peace and quiet" he said to himself. Husk reached behind him and grabbed a bottle of booze. Husk considered the bottle, then considered his headache. After a few seconds of consideration he shrugged and took a swig of the booze.

In the Sins hell

In another hell there was another building much smaller than the hotel and much more nondescript and run down. On the roof of the building a skinny man with black feathered wings sat on the roof resting his head on a fisted hand. The man's name was Valian and he was a fallen angel who worked with the Seven Deadly Sins.

Who are the Seven Deadly Sins you ask? Well they're seven of the most powerful demons hell has ever known and until a few weeks ago they worked directly under the command of the king of hell, Satan. Recently the demon king grew tired of his unruly agents and fired them. Unable to strip them of their powers the sins stayed in their powerful state which led to the strongest of the seven, Envy to bring the other six back together to sort of keep the peace. Or so he said.

Valian had simply got thrown onto the group after he'd run into them when he was working for an elder demon known as Lady Ruby. Valian and Envy had known each other in life, so Envy did not hesitate to offer Valian a place on the team and a room in the building. Which Valian was grateful for it was more than he deserved the turncloak he was. This had to be the fourth time he'd changed sides in a conflict he was quite surprised anyone still wanted to deal with him in all honesty.

But the day he'd joined the team Valian had decided. No more side switching, he'd made the vow by his sword. He was going to stick with the sins no matter what happened and if he didn't he'd stab himself through with his own sword. Valian had come to like the other demons he shared the building with. He'd been friends with Envy as a child, so he was used to the pale demon's serious and quiet demeanor. Out of the other sins he had to say, Wrath was incredibly fun to watch with his over the top nature and insane antics. Gluttony was well enough though the giant mouth on his stomach made Valian uneasy. Valian didn't much care for the company of Lust, she gave him the creeps. Pride was fun to hang out with though his constant boasting could get tiresome. Greed was conniving and Valian didn't trust the little demon but he hadn't pulled anything so far and had even been helpful. Valian had yet to meet Sloth but apparently he was asleep under the building.

There was another non sin demon in the building, his name was Barnum and he was a small cat demon who enjoyed putting on disturbing experiments in the backrooms of the building, Valian tended to avoid the cat's lab.

Valian stretched his neck sideways and raised his wings flapping off the roof and landing in front of the door he entered through the door and found the common room packed. Sitting at the kitchen table were Pride and Gluttony facing each other down in what appeared to be an arm wrestling match with Lust and Greed watching. Apparently they were making bets. "I'd say Pride's gonna win. Look at those muscles" Greed said pointing at the golden skinned demon.

"I don't know. Gluttony's one tough nut to crack" Lust argued.

Greed chuckled, "alright then, thirty bucks says Pride's gonna win".

"I'll put thirty on Gluttony" Lust wagered. "You want in angel boy". Lust turned to Valian.

"Uhh, no thanks, I think I'll just watch" Valian said taking a seat on a chair.

"If you don't want to have any fun that's your business I guess" Greed said waving off the fallen angel and turning back to the two sins who locked their hands together. Gluttony gave a grunt of exertion and Pride smiled cockily. The two seemed to make no headway until they were suddenly gone. They disappeared into thin air.

"What the fuck" Lust said immediately on her feet she was gone in mere seconds.

"I don't like the feel of this" Greed squeaked before he joined the other sins wherever they'd gone to. Valian got up and looked around a little fearfully.

"Aw shit" was all Valian said before he too disappeared. It wasn't long until the building was completely empty, with the sins and the other denizens of the house were gone.
