The story takes place before episode 4 of season 2
Charlie was brainstorming ideas on how to make hotel stuff more appealing to guests.
Then... EUREKA! Charlie suddenly thought of a really great idea! (not really).. Try to make a site for the hotel! try to.. how is she even gonna make one.
Charlie set up a computer in the front desk and started brainstorming and coding endlessly with watching almost every singular video on how to make a site.. hours have passed as she FINALLY finished a ... very mid looking site.. pink background with a huge "HAZBIN HOTEL" text and a bad png copied in and countless rainbows and overly cute pictures, text under "JOIN US TODAY! Make an application from home now and send it to [email protected]" the site looked really tacky and unproffesional but it was hers and she was SUPER proud of herself and so she called the entire hotel to check it out... Its easy to say anyone but Vaggi actually found it impressive
"Do you REALLY expect any sinner to actually use this" angel dust said, not even in a mean matter but more of genuine curiosity what is going on in her head, she is DEFINETELY losing it with those really ridiculous claims of her being a dictator and whatnot
"well.. who wouldnt? LOOK i even added sparkles and moving text!!" Charlie responded genuinely thinking it was a piece of art
"its... definetely a design choice! Could use some more ducks but its... decent looking!" Lucifer said , trying to hold in a laugh
baxter just looked at it. Very dissapointed
"Please. PLEASE let me rework this it looks like an absolute disaster." baxter , without even sugarcoating anything
"well how would you do it? i tried as hard as i could to make it look appealing" charlie replied, feeling abit hurt
"first off LOSE the cute designs, keep in purely the hotel, add in a description of the hotel, add in a call number , add in *this that*" baxter rambled , sounds like he could go on all day
"wait.. Do you even know how to make the site public..?" Baxter asked, after realisation hit
"right... I was hoping to figure it out later.." Charlie said , abit embarassed
Baxter put his hand on his face to symbolise dissapointment.
"Let. me . do it " baxter stated, face being the embodiment of annoyance and dissapointment
Charlie feeling quite hurt but explaining to herself in her head that this is for the hotel and a moment of hurt will be worth it.
Baxter takes over the computer and starts doing nerdy computer stuff im not qualified enough to specify
"what are you all waiting for im not gonna make it in like a few minutes SHOO" baxter exclaimed to literally everyone who bothered to come
A few hours pass by and Baxter has finished, he calls over Charlie , who is actually extatic because the site looks AMAZING! no sparkly unicorns but it still looks great!!
"THANK YOU BAXTER THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!" Charlie exclaims overly excited
"please.. invest in a new computer . This thing is older than the red one. No but really get a new computer" Baxter states , blank face
"GUYSGUYSGUYS COME OVER NOW SEE THE NEW SITE!! " Charlie screams over to the entire hotel, theyre pretty much VERY annoyed at her
"what now- HOLY smokes that actually doesnt look half bad! props to you lil dude!" lucifer says
"hypocrite." baxter mumbles under his breath
" could you repeat that?" Lucifer quite annoyed at the comment
alastor appears because he cannot like a civilised person just come over
"what is this silly advert?" he asks, making it sound abit backhanded
"oh its a site for sinners who would like to come stay here!- now that i think about it.." charlie exclaims before thinking..
"Youre the hotel manager right? could you maybe work the front desk? like answering emails and whatnot-"
"im afraid not dear!" alastor responds quickly
"well thats very unfortunate... i could always hel-" lucifer says but not able to finish the sentence
"Of course i can help!" alastor butts in immedietely.
"Soo how do i work this silly little picture box thing?" Alastor asks
"Well.. i can help if you'd like?" charlie answers
"Oh no need dear actually! I can do this on my own just fine!"
"if you insist.." everyone eventualy goes away and its just alastor and this weird thingamajig he has now been forced to work, scratch that - not forced but not doing it willingly either
he tries to turn on the email bar, accidentally deleting it
"whoopsie! silly me- " he talks to himself after being assigned this underwhelming job to work this lousy machine
he opens a new tab and tries to type in the email site... for 30 minutes straight just trying to work the keyboard
"buttons... this right?... nevermind..." he writes in like 2 words.. thinking he has to type it in as "interia.com" assuming purely from the page.. which he has to check frequently
" right.... t.. is this button? oh phew..." CONGRATULATIONS! he has typed in a total of three words. very frustrated at the device for being so weird. the keyboard he is clicking on letters faded because it is quite old. Plus the computer working extremely slowly you could hear the fan louder than your own thoughts trying to not explode the next minute
After an hour or so he has finally written the whole thing and theres a whole new problem now.. how does he search it.
"oh dear." he says as he tries clicking stuff and finding out enter is the way to go. Could have just clicked the mouse at this point but not like he wouldnt think of an actual rat
