Muse
The blood splinters and splatters across the pavement.
He liked the sound of their screams ; like music to his ears.
Radio static and humming filled the void - it was a broadcast,
Tune in to the show, listen to the horror, the pain, and the manic.
A glowing smile, wide and sinister, they could recognize the RADIO DEMON anywhere --
One measly step and his shoe pressed against their throat ; It's time for the tearing of their soul - they would be erased,
and Alastor could only laugh , and laugh, and laugh.
His coat stained red, and he bit into the meat, reveling in the sounds it made.
Hell could hear the screams that tailored along to the music ,
Alastor hummed in response.

Bᴇᴛʀᴀʏᴀʟ
 It was any other day in Hazbin Hotel - where the sinners were roaming and Alastor was focused on a book that rested in his hands. Charlie was gushing to sinners who were intrigued by the thought of redemption, Vaggie was standing there beside her, and the rest... well, they did what they did best. Crimson orbs glanced up from the words for a brief moment before he looked back down.
For some reason, the quiet made him feel... rather nervous. Almost as though eyes were on him without revealing themselves. No, he had to simply be imagining it.
There was a darkness that casted overhead and Alastor eventually looked up again; the everseeing eyes presenting themselves to stare down at him. His smile was tense once he realized the symbols... the meanings... that meant she was on her way. He closed the book louder than he meant to and stood up; watching as vines and lines caressed the roof; cracking through the surface.
The sound of his name was not lost on him as many of them said it - with Husk's boss added in between - but he ignored them. Alastor knew that this meant Eve was pissed. His smile lightly cracked with brows furrowing in slight confusion. He didn't know why she would come here, but he supposed it had everything to do with the fact that he hasn't completed her goal yet.
A slight giggle resounded around the room, which made everyone else pause. Alastor fell backward when Eve revealed herself - tentacles with eyes staring down at him in dismay. "Oh, what do we have here?" She looked around the room ; eyes darting towards all the demons who stared at her in surprise. Her stare stopped on the princess who looked rather shocked by her appearance, though it only made an evil grin appear on her lips. "It seems my pet hasn't done his work. Alastor ~ none of these demons are even supposed to still be alive. What did I say would happen if you didn't kill them?"
The chain wrapped around Alastor's neck when Eve presented it, simply curling her fingers around the other side. Music started before Alastor even had a chance to stop it. She turned her attention towards Charlie first, eyes glancing down at the ring that shined on her finger, "Do you feel the betrayal sting? It must be quite the price, when you take a glance at that ring. ~ I’m so sorry, Princess Charlie, but his soul is mine, and I see that you probably think I crossed a line. But, 🎶" She tugged the chain closer as Alastor’s hand wrapped around it placing her face right into his own, "You’re at the end of the road. I did not pave it with good intentions, and I will have my due 🎶." She grinned evily when she noticed the looks on their faces.
"I can see the look on your faces, all of you must have the same clue, Oh but this can’t be true, the radio demon owned by the magnificent Roo 🎶?" Roo is the name she called herself as the other first human soul in hell - root of all evil. Most of them only knew her by that one, but Alastor was aware she was Eve. She laughed and drug Alastor over to kneel in front of Charlie, "Come here little deer, and look the princess in the face. Tell her how you betrayed her and became a disgrace🎶," Roo grinned at the face he made - true fear waned behind those crimson orbs of his and she knew he didn't fear many but her, "I laugh at your pitiful stance, there’s shame in your eyes, yet I tell no lies. Now kill the ones who don’t please me and save the princess for last. I want to see your agony, your pain, and enjoy it while it comes to pass 🎶."
Roo released her hold on the chain, hoping he would do as she says. Alastor looked up and watched the hurt cross Charlie's expression before his tight-lipped smile clenched harder. So hard, blood drew from his lips. Killing the princess would be no easy feat anyway, regardless of what Roo would believe. Alastor had no intentions on following through with her plan... he was here to get himself out of that deal. The revenge that gathered in her soul made her want to kill what Lucifer held dear. Alastor was only one overlord.
Eventually Alastor took the chance to stand, legs nearly wobbling when he turned to face Roo. His grin was present even as he laughed - hands moving to touch red hair. "It seems I hit the end of the line, 🎶" He didn't know it would come so soon, "But I will not kill her or the others, even if that means the end of mine. 🎶" Alastor looked almost pitiful when the chains wrapped around his neck again and she made him fall forward. Blood seeped from imaginary wounds - covering his coat and splattering against the hotel grounds.
There was a pain easy to see in his face, despite the smile that cracked the surface. "No? No? Did you forget who owned your soul? I suggest you do as I say before I rip you apart, don’t tell me you suddenly love them with all your heart? I’m fed up with these games Alastor, you should do what I tell you, otherwise it might just end badly for you. The more souls you obtained, the more powerful you became. But they weren’t enough, were they? I’m sorry little deer, but it doesn’t seem like you’re going to get your way 🎶."
Alastor grimaced when he felt the wounds gather in agony, but he still refused. The music died down and Roo's grip on his chain tightened. "Pathetic," Eve grinned ; "Clearly I have to remind you of who you belong to." More pain from the wounds that covered his scarred flesh, and he simply did nothing but allow it to happen. Roo avoided Husk's cards when he sent them in her direction and she simply faded in the background, but her laughter gathered around the halls. She would always be watching, and Alastor realized... his time was severely cut in half.
If he had that much time to begin with. "Boss?" Husk asked, causing the silence to fade away. Alastor was silent. There was only one thing he could do in a moment like this, knowing that too many eyes were watching him. Shadows pulled from the floor and wrapped around his frame. He was gone before anyone could grab him.

ᴅᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛᴜɴᴇ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴀᴅɪᴏ ᴅᴇᴍᴏɴ
 The power dynamic between the two had a vast and great difference. Vaggie protected the hotel with her heart - intending on others not to intrude when there was danger. Everyone in the hotel were the ones she loved; knowing she wanted to be their 'armor' so to speak.
Alastor on the other hand... well, he entered the hotel only wishing for entertainment. He wished to rejoice in sinners failure regarding their attempt at redemption. Oh - he loved the sounds they would make. Still, it helped that he had intentions to get himself out of his deal, but the failure in everyone else certainly helped raise his spirits!
His humming could be heard throughout the entirety of the hotel as he walked through it, alongside the music from his radio staff. The hotel was bustling with demons, and Charlie was running around like... she had new plans. Alastor made no comments but regarded her with a raised eyebrow as she gave him an affectionate wave before barreling in the other direction.
Husk was manning the bar as usual, Niffty was chasing bugs around, and he noticed Angel Dust was not present. Crimson orbs tried to study the room until they trained on Vaggie who was currently frustrated with... something. While he had no idea what it was, it reminded him of the time she wanted to film that commercial for Charlie, and a sinister grin appeared on his lips.
"Oh, my dear, whatever could be wrong? You look like you wish to hurt something." He leaned in real close to her face.
Vaggie groaned, "Uggh, why are you even here Alastor? You don't do anything but watch everyone else suffering."
When she noticed that Alastor looked offended to that, Vaggie straightened herself out. Not that she was afraid or anything, but the man did own her soul. The silence was rather loud as Alastor regarded her with a curious look - clearly thinking. "Tell me my dear, have I not been loyal?" He leaned in and tapped her head with his radio stick. "Am I not a knight, too?"
Vaggie stood up, "That's not-"
"I've been defending this hotel! Just like you!" A deranged laugh escaped through a clenched smile as he snapped his fingers - the entire room shifting and changing colors. Alastor's outfit shifted, as did Vaggie's, the very same that he sang to them in when they first met. Music played from the radio staff that he left unattended, but knew it would remain safe next to the chair as he gently took her hand to pull her to him.
His grin deepened, "Now, my dear, we can continue this back and forth, but you and I know that's a battle you wouldn't win,🎶" He twirled her around and made the shadows come through the floor to greet her with jazzy music, "Don't tell me you truly believe in the ones who sin, 🎶" He laughed, "As their doubt is a given, my dear, but I am still here. 🎶"
"I can be your friend, your pal, the man you go to whenever you're in distress, 🎶" He moved to the beat and tightened his grip on her hand - almost to the point where he was trying to warn her again, "And just like you, I am a knight. I am a protector, an armor for the hotel ~ 🎶"
"Have I not been loyal? Am I not a knight, too? I've been defending this hotel, just like you! 🎶" Alastor spun her again, though this time it was out of his arms and a spotlight shined on her as the music shifted. "Now please do tell me my dear, how we can fix the tension 🎶?" Alastor's steps were quiet as he walked towards her - deer antlers growing and radio dials shining in his eyes - "Do I have to have a share in your vision? Or would you rather me be true to my intention? I defend the hotel just like you, my dear, and unfortunately for you, 🎶" He grabbed her hand again and looked closer in her face, "There is no end for me. 🎶"
Eventually the music died and the lights returned to normal - as did their clothes. Alastor's radio staff was in his hand again and he grinned at her - almost as if that last minute did not happen. "Don't worry, I am here for you, and the hotel... for as long as I am needed." Alastor laughed and he continued to laugh even as the shadows pulled him away - the echo caressing the lobby walls as he faded.
