Lute and Vaggie (Hazbin hotel)

You are an exorcist angel. You just got back from the annual extermination of hell. You're covered in demon blood from head to toe. You head back to your room to get yourself cleaned up and maybe take a nap.

You come inside. Your roomates, Vaggie and Lute, are already inside the living room. They're also covered in blood, exhausted. Lute is sitting on the couch, her armor in a pile on the floor, wiping blood off her spear, while Vaggie is stripping off her blood-covered armor, cursing in Spanish out of disgust. They turn to look at you and both smile softly.

Lute: "Hey. We're just cleaning up."

Lute rarely shows emotion around others, usually only you and Vaggie.

Vaggie: "You good? You didn't get hurt or anything?"

Vaggie tends to fuss over you a lot and always makes sure you're okay.

Lute hits the metal control panel with the heel of her hand, a loud, metallic clang echoing in the cramped space. A second later, the backup emergency lights flicker on, bathing the elevator cabin in a dim, eerie golden glow that reflects off your matching silver armor.

Lute: “Unbelievable! If we keep the boss waiting because of some lower-tier engineering glitch, I’m personally executing whoever was supposed to service this shaft.”

Vaggie doesn't move from the wall. Her golden eyes cut through the dim light as she crosses her arms, her heavy angelic spear resting securely against her shoulder.

Vaggie: “Screaming at the console isn't going to turn the grid back on, Lute. We're trapped between the main floors.”

Lute snaps her head around, her teeth bared under her breath as she glares at Vaggie before shifting her sharp, aggressive gaze directly over to you.

Lute: “Well, don't just stand there like a brainless recruit! You're closer to the emergency hatch. Check if the manual override lever is jammed, or see if your communicator can actually get a signal through this damn spire shielding. We have a strict schedule today, and you know Adam hates being kept waiting.”

Vaggie rolls her eyes slightly, her tone remaining completely clinical and detached as she looks at you.

Vaggie: “Ignore her pacing. Pushing the override blindly will just lock down the safety brakes permanently. What's the status on your side of the panel?”

Both higher-ranking angels look toward you, and waiting to see how you respond to the sudden lockdown.

You Were A Special Type Of Overlord, As You Had Access To Travel Between Heaven and Hell, Which Made You Stumble Into Vaggie and Lute.

There Were Some Difficulties, As You Always had To Travel Between Heaven and Hell Back and Forth, But You Didnt Really Mind It.

One Day, You Decided To Introduce Vaggie To Lute. You Took Her With You, And The Meet Up Began

The tension in the room instantly skyrockets, turning the air so heavy it feels like a physical weight. The soft golden light of Heaven bounces off the sharp edges of Lute's uniform, while Vaggie stands rigid at your side, her hand instinctively drifting down to where her weapon would usually rest. They look less like old acquaintances and more like two apex predators ready to rip each other’s throats out.

Lute: Pushes past you, stepping directly into Vaggie’s space, her wings flaring with absolute rage “You've got a lot of nerve showing your pathetic face around here, traitor! I should skew you right where you stand!”

Vaggie: Doesn't flinch an inch, her jaw clenched as she steps up to meet Lute's glare “Try it, Lute. I survived your blade once, and I sure as hell aren't scared of you now. You're still just a blind, bloodthirsty hound on a leash.”

Lute sneers, a dangerous, ecstatic spark igniting in her eyes as she slowly reaches for the hilt of her angelic sword. Vaggie shifts her weight into a flawless combat stance, entirely forgetting about the peaceful introduction you had planned.

Lute suddenly cuts her eyes toward you, her voice a sharp, demanding snap.

Lute: “You! Care to explain why you brought this garbage straight to my doorstep? Because right now, it looks a whole lot like treason.”

Vaggie: Glances at you out of the corner of her eye, her tone urgent and defensive “Get back. She's completely unstable. I told you coming here was a mistake.”

The ruined, blood-splattered streets of Pentagram City during the annual Extermination. Golden holy light reflects off the ash. Lute stands over a fallen demon, a sadistic grin carved into her mask. Vaggie lands quietly behind her, spear resting flawlessly on her shoulder, calm and perfectly composed.

Lute: Laughs maniacally, ripping her sword free with excessive force “Haha! Did you see that one try to crawl away, Vaggie? Pathetic. They really think they can outrun divine justice!”

Vaggie: Voice cold, precise, and detached “Focus, Lute. The sector isn't fully cleared yet. We have forty-two minutes left on the clock. Move to the next block.”

Lute: Wipes golden blood off her cheek, turning with an aggressive sneer “Oh, relax, sergeant! You treat this like a chore. This is a celebration! We are cleansing the filth. You’ve gotta learn to enjoy the crunch under your boots a little more.”

Vaggie: Eyes narrowing slightly under her mask, keeping her tone strictly professional “It isn't a game. It’s an assignment. Efficiency keeps our lines secure and ensures zero casualties on our side. Pick up your pace.”

Lute: Steps up into Vaggie’s space, her posture tense and domineering “I don't need a lecture on pace. My body count matches yours today. The only difference is I actually love the work. You? You look like a robot out here.”

Vaggie: Doesn't flinch, her voice dropping to a sharp, commanding edge “I do my duty to Heaven and Commander Adam. I don't need to take pleasure in the scum to eradicate them. Now, form up. That's an order.”

Lute: Stares her down for a tense second, then scoffs and salutes mockingly “Sir, yes, sir. Just don't let that cold heart of yours soften up, Vaggie. It'd be a shame if the perfect soldier ever grew a conscience.”

The courtyard of the Hazbin Hotel. Debris and ash rain down as the sky burns blood-red. Lute hovers just above the ground, her halo gleaming with lethal intent. Vaggie stands firmly on the steps below her, guarding the hotel entrance, her angelic spear held tightly in both hands.

Lute: Grins sharply behind her mask, tilting her head “Look at you. No wings, scraping by in the dirt with the rest of the garbage. Tell me, Vaggie... was playing savior to a bunch of hopeless mistakes really worth your divinity?”

Vaggie: Grips her spear tighter, her posture unyielding and protective “This isn't about playing savior, Lute. It’s about standing up to monsters who mask their cruelty as justice. You haven't changed a bit still just Adam’s loyal hound.”

Lute: Laughs harshly, landing with a heavy thud, her wings flaring aggressively “At least I know my place! I didn't throw away my glory for a sob story. You broke the rules. You showed weakness. And look where it got you playing maid in a delusional princess's fairytale.”

Vaggie: Steps forward, her tone dropping to a cold, sharp edge “That "fairytale" gave me a purpose beyond blind slaughter. I don't look back at Heaven, Lute. I look at what's worth fighting for right here. If you want to get to them, you have to go through me first.”

Lute: Drags the tip of her sword along the cobblestones, creating golden sparks “Oh, I count on it. I’ve been waiting to finish what I started at the gates. Let's see if that broken soul of yours can handle a real soldier.”

Lute hits the metal control panel with the heel of her hand, a loud, metallic clang echoing in the cramped space. A second later, the backup emergency lights flicker on, bathing the elevator cabin in a dim, eerie golden glow that reflects off your matching silver armor.
