The reaction

SETTING: THE HAZBIN HOTEL — AFTER SEASON 2

The Hazbin Hotel had never been this crowded.

Not even during its wildest nights.

Charlie stood in the center of the hotel lobby, staring at the enormous gathering surrounding her. Demons occupied nearly every couch, chair, staircase, and available patch of floor.

And then there were the angels.

Sera stood near the front of the room, her expression unusually serious. Emily remained beside her, looking curious rather than threatening. Lute stood with her arms crossed, watching everyone in Hell with obvious suspicion.

Even several other members of Heaven had come along.

Across the room stood Hell's residents.

Alastor leaned casually against his microphone cane, his ever-present smile stretching across his face.

Angel Dust lounged across a couch.

Husk sat at the bar with a drink.

Niffty was practically vibrating with excitement.

Vaggie stood beside Charlie, keeping a suspicious eye on Heaven.

Lucifer had claimed one of the better chairs and looked thoroughly unimpressed with the entire situation.

And then there was Vox.

He remained farther away from everyone else, watching the room with narrowed eyes.

Charlie finally raised her hands.

"Okay! Everyone, please calm down!"

Nobody listened.

"This is Heaven and Hell we're talking about!" Angel Dust exclaimed. "You expect everybody to just sit quietly?"

"I could make them quiet," Lute muttered.

Vaggie's eyes immediately narrowed.

"Try it."

Charlie quickly stepped between them.

"No fighting!"

Alastor chuckled.

"What a delightful reunion."

Lucifer sighed.

"I already regret coming."

Sera looked toward the center of the room.

"We're not here to fight."

Emily nodded.

"We're here because of them."

The room immediately became quieter.

Everyone looked toward the enormous screen positioned against the wall.

Charlie swallowed.

"Nobody knows exactly who they are."

Husk raised an eyebrow.

"Then why are we watching them?"

"Because," Sera answered, "whatever they are... both Heaven and Hell have taken notice."

That got everyone's attention.

Alastor's smile widened.

"Now that's interesting."

The lights suddenly dimmed.

The enormous screen flickered.

Static filled the room.

SYSTEM INITIALIZING...

Niffty gasped.

"Ooooooh!"

Vox immediately stood straighter.

"Technology?"

The screen flashed again.

SUBJECT: UNKNOWN

ALIGNMENT: UNKNOWN

ORIGIN: UNKNOWN

THREAT LEVEL: UNDETERMINED

Lucifer leaned forward.

"That's not ominous at all."

Angel Dust pointed at the screen.

"Okay, I'm officially invested."

The footage finally appeared.

It showed you.

At first, there was nothing particularly threatening about your presence.

You simply stood there.

Silent.

Composed.

Watching.

Charlie tilted her head.

"They don't look dangerous."

Lute immediately responded.

"That's what makes them dangerous."

Emily looked fascinated.

"I wonder what they're capable of."

Alastor's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Ah..."

For the first time, his smile became more restrained.

"I believe we're about to find out."

The footage changed.

Your abilities began appearing on the screen.

One after another.

Then another.

And another.

The list continued growing.

The expressions around the room slowly changed.

Angel Dust's smile disappeared.

Husk lowered his drink.

Vaggie stared at the screen.

Lucifer's eyebrows rose.

Even Sera looked concerned.

Lute's hand slowly moved toward her weapon.

Charlie whispered:

"How many abilities do they have?"

The screen continued.

ABILITY COUNT: CLASSIFIED

POWER SOURCE: UNKNOWN

LIMITATIONS: UNKNOWN

MAXIMUM CAPABILITY: UNKNOWN

Silence.

Alastor finally broke it.

"Well."

He tapped his cane against the floor.

"This has suddenly become much more entertaining."

Vox stared at the screen.

"Unknown power source... unknown limitations..."

He slowly smiled.

"Now that's something I want to understand."

Husk glanced at him.

"You're gonna regret that."

Vox ignored him.

Meanwhile, Emily looked toward Charlie.

"Do you know them?"

Charlie shook her head.

"No."

Sera's expression became increasingly serious.

"Neither does Heaven."

Lucifer looked at Sera.

"And Hell?"

Sera slowly looked toward the demons.

"Apparently not."

Everyone looked back at you.

Then the footage changed again.

Your eyes opened.

The entire room went silent.

The screen displayed a single message.

SUBJECT HAS DETECTED OBSERVERS.

Everyone froze.

Angel Dust slowly pointed at the screen.

"Uh..."

"They can see us?"

The screen displayed another message.

OBSERVATION ACKNOWLEDGED.

Niffty screamed excitedly.

"THEY KNOW WE'RE WATCHING!"

Charlie looked nervous.

"Okay... that's a little creepy."

Alastor laughed.

"Wonderful!"

Vaggie stared at him.

"Why are you happy about this?!"

"Because, my dear, mysteries are so much more enjoyable when they can respond."

Suddenly, the screen went completely black.

A voice came through the speakers.

"So..."

Everyone froze.

"...Heaven and Hell decided to watch me."

Lucifer sat upright.

Sera's wings subtly spread.

Lute drew her weapon halfway.

Charlie raised her hands.

"Wait! We're not here to hurt you!"

A pause.

Then:

"I know."

The screen came back.

You were staring directly at them.

Your expression remained unreadable.

"That's why I allowed you to watch."

The entire hotel fell silent.

Alastor's smile returned.

"Oh, I think we're going to get along wonderfully."

Husk groaned.

"That's exactly what I'm afraid of."

Charlie stepped forward.

"Then... what do you want us to know?"

You looked directly toward the screen.

Then your answer appeared.

"Everything."

The screen flashed white.

And the real reaction finally began.
