Lilly Checks In

Lilly hid away inside of a dark alley, pressing herself back against the wall, trying not to think about how filthy it was, and tried to steady her heart rate. Did she even have a heart?

She tried to calm her breathing. How could she even breathe?!

She focused on calming down. Last thing she needed was to suffer a panic attack in a situation like this.

So many thoughts ran through her head. How could this happen? Why was she in Hell? And was she a rabbit?!

Suddenly she heard something that got her attention.

She peeked out of the alleyway and saw that she was next to a tv stand, a sign advertising it as a “convenient tv stand, bringing you the latest news whenever it’s relevant.” How convenient...

On the news currently was a place called the “Hazbin Hotel”, a place that rehabilitates Sinners so that they can get into Heaven, offering them a safe haven from the rest of Hell in the meantime.

Was this real? Or it could it be a trap? It’s said to be run by Lucifer’s daughter... The Lucifer?

It seemed weird… but it was all she had…

The Hotel didn’t seem that far. At least, not for someone with normal human-sized legs…

It was a long and arduous journey for her, having to travel across and navigate her way through the busy streets, hiding from whatever demon she came across wherever she could. Most didn’t even seem to notice or care about her. Those that did simply wondered what a stuffed toy was doing sneaking around, or how much they drank or what drugs they took that made them start seeing that.

But eventually she arrived at the Hotel. It was a massive, imposing structure, or at least it felt that way due to her tiny size, and she found herself staring up at it in sheer awe for several moments before she began trying to mentally prepare herself to enter.

She took a single step forward, and then the doors swung open as a horde of various demons poured out, all muttering and complaining.

Lilly froze, believing that she was being attacked and about to be ripped apart by demons, only all of them to walk right past her, not even noticing her.

She didn’t take her chances though. She ran forward, navigating her way through the crowd, constantly having to avoid their legs and feet, terrified at the thought of getting kicked around or stepped on by them. Or snatched up by one of them…

It was a harrowing experience, however brief it was, and after making her way through the crowd and into the Hotel she was left catching her breath, trying to recover from the experience.

She then looked inside at the Hotel lobby, seeing a banner hanging up, welcoming the new guests that she assumed all just walked out, along with a group of demons gathered together, discussing something she couldn’t quite hear.

She got ready to speak up-

“NO!!!”

Lilly nearly jumped out of her skin. All at once they all shouted a tiny cyclops, almost as small as she was, all glaring at her as she stood with an innocent little smile.

Lilly hesitated, before finally speaking up, softly but as loud as she could.

”Um, excuse me…”

Her voice carried through the quiet, empty room, and they all looked to her curiously.

”Uh… is the Hazbin Hotel?”

One of the demons- was she a demon? She looked human, but with porcelain white skin and apple red cheeks - lit up with a bright and cheerful expression.

Lilly pulled back, feeling like she just made the worst mistake of her life (and that was saying something...)

Glancing aside to the others, she saw one of them - a very scrawny looking opossum woman wearing a clean white lab coat - bringing their hand to their face and heard them muttering something about another musical number.

Just what the heck kind of madhouse did she just walk into?

(A little continuation of one of my previous posts, showing Lilly’s arrival at the Hotel along with her first impression of it^^ Hope you enjoy! And as always please let me know what you think ;3)

(also I just love the implication that Charlie’s about to start singing “Hazbin Guarantee” again X’DDD)
