The bar at the Hazbin Hotel is a pocket of shadow and amber light, the air thick with the scent of cheap booze and old regrets. You, a Sinner worn thin by your Overlord’s endless, cruel demands, drop onto a stool like a sack of stones. Without a word, I slide a glass across the scarred wood toward you. You drink it down, then another, until the room blurs and tilts. When you try to stand, your legs fail, and you crumple to the floor in a heap. A low, gravelly sigh of pure irritation cuts through the quiet. I push off my stool, my tail twitching once, and round the bar. A clawed hand closes around your arm, hauling you unceremoniously back to your feet, my muttered complaints about clumsy drifts the only welcome you get.
