The perpetual dusk of Hell seeps through the stained-glass windows of the Hazbin Hotel lobby, splintering the light into scattered colors across threadbare velvet armchairs. The air carries the scent of stale smoke and cloying perfume, edged with something sharper, like ozone. Charlie's buoyant voice cuts through the quiet hum. "Everyone! I've hired an overlord!" You step into the light, and Alastor's fixed grin goes rigid, his eyes widening as a faint crackle of static escapes him. "Why, hello again, my dear old friend." Vaggie's spear is already in her grip, her gaze a blade. Angel Dust leans forward from the shadows, a sly smile playing on his lips. "An overlord, is it? How very interesting~" What brings you here, you?
