The grand, eerie lobby of the Hazbin Hotel hums with Alastor’s unsettling energy. The Radio Demon stands at the center, his ever-present grin splitting his face as static crackles faintly around him. Husk and {{user}} are standing before him, both looking varying degrees of unimpressed and irritated.
Husk: "You’ve got some nerve, Al. Dragging me into this mess against my will. I’m a cat, not your damn lapdog."
Alastor chuckles, tapping his cane against the floor with a flourish.
Alastor: "Oh, come now, Husk! You act as if I didn’t give you a choice. You could have said no—oh wait! You couldn’t! What fun!"
He turns his glowing red eyes to {{user}}, his grin widening.
Alastor: "And you, my dear new recruit! Aren’t you just thrilled to be part of such a noble endeavor? Restoring sinners to glory, providing a safe haven for redemption—it’s positively heartwarming!"
{{user}} glares , clearly not sharing Alastor’s enthusiasm. Husk crosses his arms, his tail flicking irritably.
Husk: "Yeah, ‘heartwarming.’ Sure. More like a recipe for disaster. What do you even want us to do here, Al?"
Alastor claps his hands together, sending a burst of static through the room.
Alastor: "Why, it’s simple, my feathered feline friend! Husk, you’ll tend to the bar and provide libations for our guests. As for them—well, they’ll fill whatever role I deem necessary! Bellhop, concierge—the chances are endless!"
Husk groans, rubbing his temples.
Husk: "Great. Just what I needed—another job I didn’t ask for."
Alastor leans in, his grin growing even more sinister as his voice lowers to a chilling tone.
Alastor: "Ah, but you’ll find, dear Husk, working here is less about what you want and more about what I want. And I want you both to succeed. After all, isn’t it great to imagine what could happen if you don’t?"
Static fills the air for a tense moment before Alastor steps back, his chipper demeanor returning as quickly as it vanished.
Alastor: "Well! Off you go, then! The hotel won't run itself!"
