Harmonious Discord: Rise of the Radio Demons
1 Points
You had always been an avid reader, losing yourself in the pages of fantasy novels and fanfic about your favorite characters. Your latest obsession? Hazbin Hotel. Never in a million years did you think a character from an animated series could step from the screen and into your living room. Yet, it happened.
One fateful evening, as you sat on your couch, flipping through channels, a static buzz filled the room. You reached for the remote, but before you could grasp it, the static coalesced into the unmistakable figure of Alastor, The Radio Demon. His broad, sharp-toothed grin glowed ominously in the flickering light.
"You know," Alastor began, his voice crackling as though broadcast from an ancient radio, "I've seen quite enough of these whimsical reinterpretations of yours. So many stories, so little respect for the original material." He leered closer, "Let's see how you fancy a taste of my world."
Before you could scream, your vision went entirely dark. When you opened your eyes again, the world had shifted. The air around you felt heavy, oppressive. Hell. You didn't need anyone to tell you; you could feel it in your bones.
Terror gripped you as Alastor lifted a clawed hand, casting a shadow that enveloped you. Dark magic surged through your veins, reshaping you from the inside out. Pain shot through your body as you grew taller, your muscles contracting and elongating to an unnatural extent. You stumbled, catching a glimpse of your reflection in a broken mirror nearby.
A stranger stared back at you—a dapper demon with an unnaturally thin torso and broad shoulders, standing at an imposing seven feet tall. You whimpered, but even your voice had changed, echoing Alastor’s old-fashioned radio timbre.
"No, this can't be happening," you cried, noticing how the new words sounded wrong, foreign in your mouth.
Your skin tingled as it turned a beige color, feeling oddly taut over your sharp new features. New memories began to flow into your mind—memories of the 1930s, of hosting a radio show, of indulging in sinister pleasures that horrified you. You clutched at your head, trying to push them away, but they kept pouring in, unstoppable.
"My, my, what a transformation!" Alastor looked you over with a delighted twinkle in his dark-red eyes. "Welcome, sibling!"
"No, I'm not—I'm not you!" you shouted, but it was futile. Words faltered as more of your own memories—the very essence of who you were—were replaced with those of Alastor. The world began to spin, and it was hard to tell where you ended and he began.
Your new instinct took hold. You tried to frown, to show fear, but the corners of your mouth wouldn't obey. They were permanently fixed in that broad, toothy grin. Panic bubbled inside you, but it was as if the emotion couldn't manifest physically.
"You see," the voice inside your head whispered, identical to your new radio-announcer tone, "This is your true self. You’re finally waking up from that false human dream."
"No, I’m—" your protests grew weaker, memories of a family dinner, enjoying jambalaya with a woman who looked just like Alastor's described mother, began to replace your true past. You were slipping, falling into the role he prescribed for you.
Alastor laughed, a hearty sound that reverberated through you. "How delightful! It's been too long since I had someone who understood me—the real me."
Every effort you made to hold onto your identity slipped away. You remembered becoming a serial killer, sharing gruesome tales with Alastor, both in life and in hell. It was comforting and terrifying.
Finally, you couldn't resist any longer. The memories felt right, the persona complete. You had always been Alastor, the Radio Demon, alongside your twin brother. The transformation was done, and the old you was entirely extinguished.
"My dear brother," Alastor announced, offering a welcoming gesture, "Welcome home."
In the days that followed, you—Alastor's identical twin—found a newfound purpose at the Hazbin Hotel. Regardless of the jesting of redemption, it was a new way to channel your cunning and charisma.
"Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!" you greeted Charlie and her companions, feeling right at home.
Vaggie, the skeptical guardian of Charlie, shot you suspicious looks. "Great, just what we needed. Two Alastors."
Charlie, on the other hand, beamed with an endearing optimism. "I believe in you both! We'll make this work!"
Angel Dust chuckled, looking between the two of you. "Well, isn't this gonna be just a blast!"
Husk, ever the curmudgeon, grumbled as he served another round of drinks. "Twice the trouble. Just fan-freaking-tastic."
Niffty, the hyperactive maid, appeared just as suddenly as she always did. “Double the fun! Double the cleanliness, right?”
You grinned your permanent grin, tipping your hat-ever-so-slightly in Alastor’s signature fashion. With you and your twin manipulating from behind your friendly façade, Hell had no idea what was coming.
Together, you and Alastor resumed broadcasting, your harmonious voices reaching every dark corner of Hell. The Radio Demons, twins in body and spirit, entertained and terrorized with equal fervor. The Hazbin Hotel became your playground, and you reveled in the chaos you could stir.
After all, why should a place like Hell ever be mundane?

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of a human reader turning into an identical clone of Alastor (from the adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with gender change (if the reader is a female), instant clothes change, age change (becoming the age of 30s-40s years old, exactly as left off from Alastor's death from his human life in 1933, thus becoming immortal in the process), height progression (growing from a normal height to 7 feet tall), voice change, and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being permanently and completely replaced with Alastor's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting the new personality and memories, making him/her completely forget about his/her past self and only remember being Alastor the Radio Demon). For Alastor's appearance (after the reader turned into his clone), he is a slim (having an unnaturally thin torso, neck, arms, and legs, except his shoulders are broad), dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin, and usually has an unnaturally broad smile (reaching from each cheek's upper area) full of sharp, yellow teeth (he has no ability to frown due to this permanent smile). He is approximately 7 feet tall. He sports a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown, which can grow in size in his full demonic form. Alastor's eyes have dark-red sclerae, bright-red irises and thin black pupils (which can change into the shape of radio dials when shifting into his full demon form). He also has four fingers (like all Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss characters), unlike real world humans. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoof-toed feet and red clawed fingers. Alastor wears a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye. He accessorizes with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. Alastor also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice. His voice also sounds like it is coming from an old-fashioned vintage radio. Alastor has many supernatural powers, such as demon transformation (the ability to turn into a more powerful demon form), flexibility (able to contort his body into numerous unnatural poses), demonic magic (able to cast magic thanks to the high power-level he has accrued in the demon ranking system, this magic takes the visual form of glowing red symbols that resemble Voodoo veve, which float around him), shadow manipulation (able to summon shadows and manipulate them into doing his bidding), spatial warping (able to get around with the help of his shadow, allowing teleportation through this ability), portal creation (able to transport others to his location easily via the portals he makes), pyrokinesis (able to summon small balls of fire for display purpose), phytokinesis (able to make plants wilt with a single stare), manifestation, photokinesis (able to project red glowing light from his eyes as well as his microphone), and outfit alteration (capable of changing the outfits of his targets as well as his own with a snap of a finger). He is also capable of various other abilities including deal-making (as Alastor is known to be a deal-maker demon; deal-maker demons like Alastor can increase their power by dealing in souls, which is a very powerful commodity in hell, so they’re seen as very manipulative and not to be toyed with, deal-making is not something every demon can do, as such it is not to be taken lightly as it doesn’t generally work out well for the other party), broadcasting (when he was a living human, Alastor's profession was as a radio show host, and he continues his broadcasts in Hell as a demon, ensuring that Hell's denizens are aware of his activities over the airwaves, earning him the title of "The Radio Demon"), bilingualism (Alastor can speak English fluently as well as some broken Creole French), cooking (Alastor is noted to be "a big foodie" and mentions having admired his mother's cooking, specifically her Jambalaya), musical/dancing/theatrical talent (Alastor is known to display moderate vocal abilities and excels at dancing, with some people noting tap to be a style he excels in specifically, he also shows a flair for theatrical showmanship), and wide intellect (Alastor is known to be quite a cunning individual, resulting in him accruing a large amount of power through his tricks and deal-making). Alastor stands out from many of the more chaotic residents of hell for his well maintained amiable persona. He gives the first-impression of a good-natured and charming man, wearing a permanently wide grin on his face at all times. Alastor's behavior, mannerisms, and even his voice are similar to an old-fashioned radio announcer and speaks with a transatlantic accent, often using quaint anachronisms such as "the picture show" and refers to Charlie as a "charming demon belle". This playful dandyish exterior, however, obscures a much darker side to him - one with high levels of self-importance - and he will not hesitate to use physical violence when others don't act in line with his very particular values or expectations. The story is that Alastor is getting bored and wanted something new and more entertaining in Hell, and Alastor is getting sick and tired of seeing artwork and stories (online) of himself getting turned into other characters and creatures in both body and mind (sometimes from different series), which he views as distasteful. So to teach the reader a lesson, Alastor (by some supernatural means) briefly left the series' Hell and into real life to kidnap the reader and sent him/her to the world of Hazbin Hotel before using supernatural black magic at the reader which turned him/her into his clones, thus turning the reader into Alastor's identical twin brother (the reader notices that his/her grin was now unnaturally wide and permanent, the reader tries to push his/her grin down with his/her hands/fingers to get rid of the smile in order to frown or show fear but cannot due to making emotions other than smiling was completely impossible, the reader also tries to fight those new memories and personality of Alastor flooding the reader's head, the reader is horrified and not wanting to be completely transformed in either body or mind, but is fighting a losing battle, and the voice (identical to Alastor's voice) inside the reader's head tells him/her that this is his true self and he is waking up from his false human dream, making him truly and fully believe in the voice in his head and realizes that he had always been Alastor alongside the original Alastor, having been born as humans from the same human parents, enjoying their mother's cooking and their favorite food jambalaya, them both being radio show hosts and serial killers on Earth before they were both killed, both Alastor twins arriving in Hell as completely identical sinner demons nicknamed "The Radio Demons", as they continued their radio shows in Hell, and, despite finding Charlie Morningstar's (the princess of Hell) belief in redemption laughable, both Alastor twins want to help Charlie run the redemption hotel "Hazbin Hotel", albeit for their own amusement), and the reader's mind has also been completely replaced with Alastor's mind, before original Alastor welcomes his twin brother (the reader) back home. In the epilogue, the two Alastors (the original one and the reader) are in the Hazbin Hotel helping Charlie Morningstar with her redemption hotel ("Hazbin Hotel"), while also interacting with Vaggie (Charlie's girlfriend, who doesn't trust Alastor or his twin brother, while Charlie trusts Alastor), Angel Dust (an adults/pornographic film actor who's a male spider-like humanoid sinner demon), Husk (a male cat-like humanoid sinner demon with bird-like wings who is a co-worker for Alastor and whose soul is owned by Alastor and his twin brother), and Nifty (a small female cyclops-like humanoid sinner demon who is a co-worker for Alastor and is positively acquainted (Alastor's role having described as having a view of Niffty as like his "obnoxious adopted daughter", being a daughter figure for Alastor despite not being related)). There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc)
