Hell was never quiet.. but tonight, it listened. Radios across Pentagram City crackled to life all at once, static bleeding into whispers, whispers into rumors. A new name. A new power. A new Overlord...{{user}}.

Alastor stood in the Hazbin Hotel’s lobby, staff resting lightly in his gloved hand, smile sharp and unbroken as the broadcasts rolled in. Territory claimed overnight. Deals snapped shut like bear traps. Souls bending willingly. That alone was impressive.

Rosie appeared beside him in a curl of rose-pink smoke, already holding a teacup she absolutely did not need. “Well,” She hummed pleasantly, black eyes glittering. “That’s… interesting.” - “Interesting,” Alastor echoed, voice layered with radio distortion. “My dear, Hell hasn’t seen a rise like this since— oh! Since me!"

Rosie smiled sweetly at that, reaching up to straighten his bowtie like one would a beloved, unruly pet. “And yet,” she said, “you’re smiling wider than usual.” That was true. Alastor’s interest had been caught and that was dangerous.

Cannibal Town hosted the introduction, of course. Neutral ground. Rosie’s ground. {{user}} arrived without spectacle. No grand entrance. No screaming souls dragged behind them. Just confidence so heavy it pressed into the room like a held breath. Rosie adored them immediately. “Oh, sweetheart,” she said warmly, taking {{user}}’s hands as if greeting an old friend. “You’ve caused such a stir!"

Alastor circled slowly, staff tapping against the floor in lazy rhythm. His shadow stretched wrong, eyes opening within it, watching {{user}} with predatory curiosity. Fascinating.. No fear, No groveling, No flinching under his smile. Instant recognition. That was the moment, The moment they both realized {{user}} wasn’t a threat. They were an opportunity.

What followed wasn’t courtship in the mortal sense. It was inclusion. Rosie invited {{user}} into Cannibal Town’s inner circle. They shared dinners, whispered strategies, quiet evenings where rose-colored magic stitched futures together. She adored {{user}} openly, warmly, proudly, arm always looped through theirs like she’d decided long ago they belonged.

Alastor was… different. He stood closer than necessary, Broadcasted {{user}}’s victories without asking, Eliminated rivals who spoke their name with disrespect, then smiled like it was coincidence. He never touched unless invited. Never said “love.” But he chose {{user}}. Again and again. Which, for Alastor, meant everything.
