Method to the Madness: Chapter 1
Summary: Holly falls into hell, but has no memories of anything! She goes to the closest place which is the Hazbin Hotel and meets the colorful group of souls living there.

She befriends just about everyone including the sexy Angel Dust, the gruff Husker and the mysterious and amusing Alastor. She picks up bits and pieces of memories and hints of abilities but nothing seems to make sense, and with the extermination approaching she's running out of time. Is she a human? Is she an angel? And why is Alastor so persistent in trying to make a deal with her?
Warnings: fluff, there will be angst and drama, some violence in later chapters, alcohol consumption, swearing
This is pretty plot driven and there won't be any smut (I'm sorry) I tried to leave things open to interpretation between some of the characters.

When Holly fell down into hell, she made quite an impression. As in she left a small crater in her wake. After she came to and crawled out of the indent she had made, she looked around confused.
The sky was red and she seemed to be on the outskirts of a city. Looking to her right she saw what appeared to be a hotel, it was hard to miss as it stood out from the rest of the city. She read the hotel name,
“Hazbin Hotel? That's an odd name.” But looking at the rest of the city, not only was the hotel closer but it looked the most welcoming.
As she approached the doors, she steeled herself before knocking on the solid wood. She could hear muffled voices, one sounded particularly excited.
“Oh my gosh Vaggie, someone is here!!” A female voice almost sang from behind the door. Just as Holly was second guessing this decision the door was swung open and she was met with a very friendly face.
“WELCOME to the Hazbin Hotel!” the young lady exclaimed while swinging her arm behind her. Then she looked back at Holly and her smile dropped slightly. Holly was just staring at her, she had never seen such a person; blonde hair but pale skin with eyes of gold and red and what she thought were...fangs? Nonetheless she was pretty.
Holly figured she should respond to such enthusiasm.
“I'm sorry for staring I've just never seen anyone like you, um...”
before she could continue the blonde reached forward to take her hands.
“No no I'm sorry I was staring too. I've never seen anyone like you either...I um mean well...why don't you come in first.”
Holly walked into the foyer and realized the hotel was a bit more run down then she had originally thought but overall it looked nice. Until she turned around to find a spear pointed at her throat.
“Fuck!” She cried and jolted back against the nearby wall.
“Vaggie!! Please she's a guest!”
Holly saw that this woman looked quite different, long greyish hair, darker skin and her left eye was gone leaving nothing but an X.
“Then why does she look like that?” Vaggie questioned.
“Look like what?! I don't even know where I am! Shit!”
With that said, Vaggie dropped her spear slightly.
“Ok ok, let's start with introductions.” The blonde started. She cleared her throat and began
“I am Charlie Morningstar, owner of this hotel and this is Vaggie my girlfriend.” Charlie put her hands on Vaggie's shoulders in an attempt to calm her down. Vaggie lowered her spear the rest of the way before mumbling something of an apology and how she was slightly paranoid of newcomers.
“Hi nice to meet you. I'm Holly and I have no idea where I am. Can you tell me that next before anymore surprises.”
“um well heh heh, you're in Hell.” Charlie said with a forced grin.
Holly awoke on the couch with an ice pouch on her head. Hoping everything had been a dream or nightmare in this case. However upon seeing Charlie and Vaggie she realized this was all too real.
Charlie reached forward to touch her head.
“You fainted and had a nasty fall. I should have given the news while you were sitting, sorry about that.” She said sheepishly.
Holly fully sat up trying to regain her bearings. She covered her face and groaned.
Hell! She was in Hell? How did she end up here?
“So this is Hell, and you're Charlie Mornings....” She opened her eyes and looked up at Charlie with wide eyes.
“Morningstar?!!” Charlie smiled and tightened her shoulders, knowing what was coming next. “So you're.....”
“Yup Lucifer's daughter, nice to meet you.” She said again extending her hand to shake Holly's. Holly sat there flabbergasted, how could the offspring of Lucifer, who was the villain in all the stories she could recall, be so sweet.
Regardless she slowly shook Charlie's hand.
“Don't take this wrong but you are awfully sweet for being Lucifer's daughter.”
“Yeah I hear that a lot. Now what do you remember, you just arrived in hell correct?”
“Yes, like maybe a couple hours ago. Woke up on the outskirts. Saw your hotel and decided to come here first.”
“That was probably a good choice.” Vaggie interjected as she rested against the back of the couch where you sat.
The more Holly thought though the more she realized she had no memories of a life on earth. Or any memories at all for that matter. She knew the name Lucifer and stories about him and all that but nothing else.
“I can't seem to remember anything from my earthly life. I can't seem to remember anything!”
“Really nothing? Nothing about your parents, your death or why you may have ended up down here?”Charlie inquired.
Holly shook her head, more confused now then ever. Then she lifted her head and looked at Vaggie,
“Wait you commented on how I look. What do I look like?”
Charlie dug out a compact mirror from her pocket and handed it to her. She looked at her reflection, she looked human save for some red flecks in her irises the rest of her hadn't changed, or so she assumed.
Her thoughts were interrupted when out of the corner of her eye she swore she saw something move in the far corner.
Charlie and Vaggie followed her gaze and asked what she was looking at.
“I swear that shadow just moved.”
With this stated, Vaggie and Charlie shared a look before Charlie piped up,
“Alastor if you're eavesdropping you can just come out and meet our new guest.”
