The Angel to your Devil

The Happy Hotel

Gabriel walked around the Happy Hotel, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling establishment. He watched as Angel Dust gracefully danced around the lobby, and he couldn't help but be impressed by the spider demon's skills.

"Hey there, new guy," Angel said with a wink. "You're not from around here, are you?"

Gabriel shook his head, feeling slightly overwhelmed. "No, I'm not. I'm Gabriel."

"I'm Angel Dust," the spider demon replied. "And let me tell you, this place is the best. We've got everything you could ever want."

As Gabriel continued to explore, he found himself drawn to Alastor, who was broadcasting his radio show from a booth in the corner of the lobby.

"Welcome, dear listeners," Alastor said in his smooth, velvety voice. "It's a pleasure to have you all here with me today."

Gabriel listened intently, impressed by the deer overlord's charisma and charm. He couldn't help but feel a little unnerved by the way Alastor seemed to be able to control the room with just his words.

"Isn't he something?" Samuel said, coming up behind Gabriel." Alastor's got a real way with words. He can convince anyone to do just about anything."

Gabriel nodded, feeling a little uneasy. "It's almost like he's manipulating everyone."

"That's because he is," Samuel replied with a shrug. "But that's just how things are here."

As they continued to walk around, Gabriel met Vaggie, the strong and serious protector of the hotel, and Niffty, the quick and efficient cleaner. He was fascinated by the way they all worked together to keep the hotel running smoothly.

"This place is incredible," Gabriel said to Samuel. "I had no idea that demons could be so...well, normal."

Samuel chuckled. "Yeah, we're not all bad. Just like how not all angels are good."

Gabriel frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that things aren't always black and white," Samuel said. "We all have our roles to play, but sometimes those roles don't feel right. That's when we have to decide for ourselves what the right thing to do is."

Gabriel nodded, understanding. "Like disobeying orders during the Purge."

"Exactly," Samuel said with a smile. "And speaking of the Purge, you should probably get back out there. You don't want to get in trouble with the big guy upstairs."

Gabriel sighed, knowing that Samuel was right. "You're probably right. But I'll be back as soon as I can."

With a final wave, Gabriel left the Happy Hotel, feeling a little less alone in the world than he had before. He then transformed into his purge form and began to go up into the clouds, with the other heavenly angels.
