Soon enough I pulled myself out of my bedrooms personal mirror I have set up on the ground so I'm able to sink and rise out of the mirror when I go from one place to another.
"Hmm, should I keep doing it this way? Or should I do it the terrifying way?" I mutter to myself as I step on out of the mirror into my room proper.
The whole mirror movement is just a new gimmick of mine just so I can go from one place to another, but it wasn't my orginal way of transportation.
Originally I would just use the corrupting darkness to open portals between places I want to go to, but since seeing things like that can scar a person I don't do it anymore, but I'm thinking about doing it that way once more.
"Meh, I can think about it later." I shrug before heading on of my room before heading downstairs proper.
Soon enough I came upon a welcoming party for our new guest, with food trays, sweets, balloons, and even a banner for the person in question, this probably got set up so quickly thanks to the help of the shadow demons I have here in the hotel that are meant to help with whatever is required of them while here in the hotel.
Soon enough I spotted the unfamiliar face, a female sinner wearing what I could describe as either office or possibly even teachers outfit, she had pink skin with large horns, hoofed feet and the standard red demon eyes that most sinners get when they come down here.
"So you was a teacher when you were up topside huh?" Angel asked as he, Charlie and Vaggie were chatting up our new guest, Husk was at the Bar, Niffty was bringing out more food with other Niffty's, Pentious was trying to keep his Egg Boi's from doing stupid things, Kench was in the Kitchen with only Alastor missing from this party.
"Yeah, but hell doesn't seem to need teachers at all, or from what I learned the Pride ring certainly doesn't." She said with a sigh.
"What? No don't think about it like that, I'm sure somewhere here in Pride there is definition somewhere that needs teachers like you." Charlie tried to cheer her up as I joined in with them.
"Well maybe there isn't a need for teachers in Pride, but the Wild West of Wrath would definitely need teachers, that ring is basically the backwater countryside of hell itself, and since this whole redemption thing could take time, I could easily get you a work Visa to work down in Wrath, oh and where are my manners, pleasure to make your acquaintance, I'm Cain, Charlie's Uncle and Welcome here to the Hazbin Hotel." I said spreading my arms wide as I welcome her here.
"…. I always wanted to ask this, but are you really her uncle you…. Well…" She try's to say which makes me nod.
"I don't look anything like her right? Well since you will be here for the foreseeable future I don't mind saying this as it's not a deeply hidden secret or anything, but I am her adoptive Uncle, and more of a father figure to her than a certain someone ever wa- Ow!" I say as I feel an elbow hit into my side from Charlie as she looked at me with a squint in her eyes.
"Will you stop bad mouthing my dad already Uncle Cain?" She said but I just rolled my eyes at that as I grabbed my forehead.
"Charlie if he was so great then you wouldn't have called me about this place and told me about it first but him, but both me and you know how he will react when you mention this plan, and even if I feel there's a chance this whole thing can fail, I also believe that there is a genuine chance at this succeeding so that's why im willing to stand behind you about this more than he ever will." I say placing my hand on her shoulder.
"Look we can discuss this more later if you want, but our problems shouldn't be the forefront today!" I say with a smile before spinning almost cartoonishly like the Tazmanian Devil from Looney Toons as I stop right next to the new girl.
"Because today is Mayberry's day now isn't it? So come along now let's get to know you better and that way we may find a way to make your shot at redemption come true!" I say with a smile as I hold out my hand towards her which she cautiously took before I pulled her on over to the couches as Niffty set out treats on the table for us.
"So I think introductions are underway so we can all get to know each other better, nobody needs to say there real names if they don't want to, me, Charlie and Vaggie being the exceptions down here, so why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?" I asked before leaning my head on my chin.
"Well, before I came down here I was an elementary school teacher, you know one of those happy teachers that all the kids looked up too." She went on to say which I nodded.
"That sounds like a certain girl we know." Angel said with a smirk as he looked over at Charlie who just laughed a little as she rubbed the back of her hair.
"Well I enjoyed my life and everything was good, that is until my husband butt dialed my phone or maybe that bitch did it on purpose but suddenly a video call went through showing to both me and the class what happened as they were doing the deed…." She said as her eyes began to glow along with her hair starting to flow from her demonic powers starting to rampage before I got up and sat next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder which instantly made her powers stop before she accidentally wrecked the furniture.
"Oh that's terrible." Charlie felt bad hearing about it, after all she had a bad experience being cheated on by her ex-boyfriend.
"And let me guess, you snapped when you saw that happen?" I ask which gets a nod in response.
"Enraged I left the school and drove home, not realizing I left the video on…. So those poor kids had to see what my husband and that BITCH! We're doing to eachother in our bedroom, and we'll when I got home I grabbed my shotgun and dealt with them both, or at least I thought I did for her, but feeling ashamed for what I had done and especially in front of my students I couldn't face them anymore and went away from the camera before…. Ending it all, and now here I am…." She says a bit sadly which makes Charlie just get up and go over before hugging Mayberry.
"Don't you worry Mayberry, we will figure something out to get you out of this place and up in the sunshine you should have gone to in the first place." Charlie says trying to cheer her up while I nod before I see Alastor appear out of the corner of my eye as he goes and sits at the bar where Husk currently is.
"Well don't worry about it Mayberry, even if you don't fit heavens criteria right now, once we prove redemption is possible, then we can see to getting you up there, but I'll let you guys get to know each other better, meanwhile I have a discussion with our hotelier over there." I say before patting her shoulder as I excuse myself and head on over to the bar.
I take a seat right next to Alastor while Husk keeps washing his glass cup before I turn to our favorite Radio Demon.
"So then, do we have a deal?"
