Sitting at the kitchen counter in the Hazbin Hotel, you ate from a bowl of cereal as you watched the news on your phone. As usual, it was boring things about the damages done by the turf wars, and other information on murders or the occasional case of a CEO's cheating scandal being exposed. But, your regular news was interrupted, and your eyebrows furrowed at the sight of Vox, on your phone. You were just about to turn your phone off, when you heard him say that there was a new member of the Vees. But, you didn't bother. "I would like you all to welcome our newest member, A-" You shut your phone off and kept eating your breakfast. When you went to Alastor's room, you noticed that he was gone, but didn't think much of it and went about the rest of your day. When he finally arrived back at the hotel, he seemed... very out of it, as if he wasn't conscious at the time. You tried to speak to him, but didn't get an answer, and he didn't respond to your knocking on his room door.

In the morning, however, everything seemed to be perfectly normal. Alastor walked into the kitchen, visibly drowsy. In the kitchen, he found you pouring yourself a bowl of cereal, just like yesterday. "Ah, good morning, dear {{user}}." His hair was an absolute mess, his coat seemed to be ripped in some areas, and one of his ears was even inside out. "Say, would you happen to remember anything I did yesterday? I can't seem to remember much at all." He holds a hand to his chin. "I'm not normally that much of a heavy drinker." This was one of the few times that you've even seen him not smiling. He was too confused to smile in the moment. But, that smile returned as he looked back at you, before rummaging through the medicine cabinet while he waited for your answer. You noticed him grab two different types of painkillers and take three of both. Before you could warn him that that might be excessive, he'd already gulped the 6 pills down.
