Purgatory's Masquerade: Death by Fizzarolli

Prompt: Write the POV story of the average (and normal) 5.6 or 6 foot tall mortal human (no weapons, super powers, insane fighting abilities, nor having intelligence that is above average, since the human reader is simply normal) fighting and attempting to survive an encounter against Fizzarolli the jester imp (from an adults cartoon/animated series Helluva Boss, made by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano), either by fighting or by escaping (disguising as a demon, trapping Fizzarolli, talk out to Fizzarolli (about Fizzarolli's self-worth issues, self-image issues, and other of his insecurities), running, or hiding) from Fizzarolli. For Hell's description (according to VivziePop), it is the supernatural realm of demons. It is inhabited by a population of indigenous hellborn: entities that were born in Hell, and sinners: Humans who have died and have had their souls sent to Hell. The atmosphere is presented as perpetually choleric, disorderly, and noxious, though capable of supporting carbon-based lifeforms. Hell's geography is divided into Seven Rings, as first revealed by the lyrics in the song "You Will Be Ok". Each ring possesses its unique atmosphere, such as the Pride Ring possessing a permanently red sky, and the Lust Ring which has a blue sky. Hellborn demons have the ability to traverse across any of the rings, made easily accessible via an extensive elevator network, whereas sinner demons are confined to the top-most ring, the Pride Ring, by methods and reasons unknown. Hell's society is incredibly chaotic due to the unstable and hostile disposition of its populace. There aren't many rules in the world as it's kind of like a free-for-all and in constant anarchy, but despite this, the inhabitants of Hell have their law system, and there are rules set in place by the Angels and Hell's royal family. The realm also appears to be capable of providing and maintaining rudimentary public services, evidenced by the appearance of firefighters in the episode "Murder Family" of Helluva Boss. Within Hell's civilization, there exists a crude form of hierarchy defined by power, with all of Hell being ruled by a king: the fallen angel Lucifer Morningstar, whose daughter and heir apparent is Princess Charlie. The levels of this hierarchy are broken up from top-to-bottom as follows: Lucifer Morningstar (not Satan, since both Lucifer and Satan are separate characters) - The King of Hell, Charlie Morningstar - The Princess of Hell, heir apparent to Hell's throne, The Seven Deadly Sins, The Ars Goetia - Hellborn Demons with royal status, including Prince Stolas, Overlords - Demons who wield considerable power/influence in the Pride Ring, Sinners - Demons who were once humans on Earth, having sinned were damned to Hell, Hellborn demons - Succubi, Incubi, and other species of demons native to Hell, Imps and Hellhounds - The bottom of Hell's society. The Pride Ring suffers from mass overpopulation which Exorcists from Heaven attempt to solve through the exterminations, which is a mass genocide of its inhabitants. These are conducted primarily to reduce Hell's sinner population, leaving Hellborn denizens unharmed as per an agreement Lucifer made with Heaven's leadership. Charlie aims to stop this massacre by giving sinners a chance to rehabilitate and redeem themselves by checking into her hotel and later ascending to Heaven as angels. For Fizzarolli's appearance, he is a tall, slender male imp (5.3 feet tall) with a jester getup. Like all imps, he has a short reptilian-looking muzzle with sharp teeth in it. Like all imps, he does not have any visible ears or nose. He lacks any hair on his head and his body. His eyes have lime sclera and pink irises, his sharp teeth are neon blue, and he has a devil-like imp tail with black stripes, however the stripe in the middle is white. His cybernetic arms and legs are retractable, able to extend and bend far more than normal jointed limbs could and have a light blue circle on each shoulder and light blue spots on his knuckles. The majority of Fizzarolli's head is covered in a huge burn scar (resembling white face paint), with the only parts unaffected being the tip of his mouth and a small part of the back of his head, which show his original red skin. His face also has black dots at the ends of his mouth, and he has a forked tongue that has a couple of black stripes on it as well. He used to have exceptionally large horns for an imp, but were damaged and cauterized by the fire. He wears a bright red and blue jester cap with bells, a white ruff, and a black collar with bells located below it. His jester hat's stripe patterns resemble those of his horns' as a child, being asymmetrical from both sides. The front side of his outfit is bright red with yellow trim at the bottom with yellow hearts, while the back is bright blue with white trim at the bottom and black hearts. He wears white and purple striped pants along with white and purple striped sleeves with bright red cuffs and yellow trim edging, and yellow balls on his shoulders with light red hearts. He also wears black, heeled shoes with yellow hearts on the front, black gloves with red spots on the knuckles, and yellow cuffs. For Fizzarolli's personality, he is a theatrical demon, with a fast-talking demeanor and a crude sense of humor. Extremely vulgar in nature, he constantly makes sexual jokes and puns, to the degree he pairs up with Asmodeus (who is Fizzarolli's best friend, a boyfriend to Fizzarolli, and genuinely loves Fizzarolli and knows that Fizzarolli is worthy of working with him despite Fizzarolli's disfigurement) in openly condescending sentimental relationships and offering lewd suggestions. He was shown to be especially condescending towards Blitzo, with whom he has a bad history with, which stems from an accident that happened at Cash Buckzo's circus fifteen years prior to the episode "Oops", however Fizzarolli found it in him to forgive Blitzo after the latter rescued him from Crimson and Striker. Early in the series, Fizzarolli seemed to embody Blitzo's comments about being an overrated sellout clown, given how he did not seem to mind having his image exploited by Mammon's corporate marketing because it made him popular and famous for being a Sins name-brand figure. This included having no issue with his likeness being marketed for a line of sex toys, despite how it secretly creeped him out. He also dislikes the creepy fans who enjoy the Robo Fizz sex toys, even secretly ordering the staff at Ozzie's to keep a creepy fan far away from him after they proclaimed they owned four. Despite his normal jovial nature Fizzarolli suffers from extreme self-worth and self-image issues, the latter of which mostly originating from the severe injuries he received from a circus fire that he was involved in when he was younger. Because of this, he feels like he needs to do whatever Mammon tells him to do, as he feels he must repay the man for all the fame and success being his brand figure has brought, despite how horribly he is treated. He also believes unless he keeps propitiating the fame and admiration he will be nothing and will lose Asmodeus, as he's only ever seen him as he claims it "his best", and believes he is barely worthy of working with a king of sin because of his disfigurement. The story is that the human reader (who is genuinely horrified of demons, since he/she thinks that demons are nothing more than pure evil monsters), while the reader is on Earth, is being hunted down and/or attacked by Fizzarolli, who had arrived on Earth and was sent by either Asmodeus (who is, not only one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Lust, but also a business partner and a boyfriend to Fizzarolli) or Mammon (who is credited as the owner of the theme park Loo Loo Land in the Greed Ring, he is also a boss of Fizzarolli, and he is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Greed) to hunt down the human reader for their gain and for Fizzarolli to have his own sidekick. So, the reader hides from Fizzarolli (temporarily avoiding detection). As an attempt, the reader disguises himself/herself as a demon to fool Fizzarolli, but unfortunately this disguise doesn't work against Fizzarolli, as Fizzarolli is able to see through the disguise, even if the costume looked convincing or not. As such, Fizzarolli finds the reader's camouflage/disguise attempt amusing (especially smiling really wide and laughing even harder), even taunting the reader for thinking that he/she would fool Fizzarolli. The reader has already set up trap(s) (pitfalls, giant mousetrap-like contraptions, giant cages, or other traps) before that disguise attempt, but Fizzarolli avoided or set the trap(s) without getting caught by the trap(s). The reader then tries to talk to Fizzarolli about Fizzarolli's self-worth and self-image issues, as well as Mammon using Fizzarolli for profit as well as abusing him, but sadly, Fizzarolli isn't upset over that (since it is the human reader talking to Fizzarolli and not a demon talking to him) and jokes/teases the reader about the reader's own problems instead (making the reader cry slightly and more scared). After that, the reader tries to fight back against Fizzarolli, but to no avail due to Fizzarolli's unnatural agility and bendy cybernetic limbs, so the reader tries to run away, but sadly for him/her, Fizzarolli is much more agile and faster. To make up for that, and as a final attempt at survival, the reader tries to hide from any object, but is rediscovered no matter how good the hiding place is, and Fizzarolli finally catches him/her with his robotic limbs (the human reader call out for help, but no one comes to save the reader against Fizzarolli) and Fizzarolli either impales the reader with his bendy robotic arms (striking the reader through his/her flesh and pierce the reader's heart or other vital organs, causing blood loss, difficulty breathing, and shock), strangles the reader (including but not limited to fatally twisting the reader's neck), or drops the reader from a dangerously high platform/building (the reader falling from more than 40 feet (12 meters) from a high platform/building after Fizzarolli drops him/her). The reader sadly does not survive the attack(s) from Fizzarolli (despite the reader's best efforts at fighting, hiding, disguising, and escaping) and, after the reader dies, the reader does not wake up back in his/her bed in the mortal realm (Earth) as if it were a dream nor waking up from a hospital bed (also on Earth), but instead he/she wakes up for real in VivziePop's rendition of Hell (not the mainstream burning pit of suffering as most media show; instead, this is a 2D-animated Hell as depicted in both adult cartoon series, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss: Hell in these two series is a place/dimension with underworldly wilderness and hellish cities, being populated by immortal imps, hellhounds, sinner demons, fallen angels, and other types of demonic creatures), more specifically, the reader wakes up in a city called Pentagram City (a city, located in the Pride Ring, that is separated into different sections and with many different places of interest such as casinos, nightclubs, adult film studios, brothels, restaurants, television stations, and hotels, among which is the Hazbin Hotel, and the demons of Pentagram City have their businesses in these places, where they are allowed to sell everything from cigarettes to drugs, however, there are others who resort to the black market, gathering and repurposing the discarded weapons of the Exorcists (a group of angels part of Adam's personal private military force to sent down from Heaven every year in an event known as the Extermination to kill sinner demons to manage Hell's overpopulation) left behind during the cleanse, and there is a Clock Tower located in the city, which serves as a counter for the 365 days that pass until the Exorcists return for the next Extermination, and due to the annual cleanse, there are turf wars to dominate the spaces that were wanted and without owners), confirming that the human reader had indeed been killed by Fizzarolli (despite not remembering Fizzarolli ever being involved or related to the death of the mortal reader) and respawned as an actual sinner demon of Hell for real rather than being a disguise (arriving in Hell due to being killed by a demon and influenced as a result, even if the reader did not do anything evil or sinful). The reader wakes up, not on Earth or as a real mortal human, but as an immortal sinner demon (permanently and irreversibly) in Hell, who is also cartoony like all of Hell and its inhabitants (due to the reader being in VivziePop's animated rendition of Hell), complete with a thin/lanky body, demonic iris colors (either red, pink, purple, or orange), thin slit-shaped pupils, demonic skin color (either red, reddish-purple, reddish-orange, or reddish-pink skin) instead of normal skin, the reader's face now having a short reptilian snout with sharp teeth in it, a long devil-like/imp-like tail (maybe with some black or white stripes, and possibly being prehensile like Fizzarolli's own tail) on the reader's lower back, a forked tongue in the reader's new muzzle, the now-changed hair if the reader had hair as a mortal human (now either black or white in color instead of a previous hair color), a pair of black-and-white striped horns on top of the reader's head, four-fingered clawed-fingered hands instead of human hands, a pair of cloven hoofed feet instead of human feet, and the demon reader does not have a nose, nor any visible ears or facial hair (other from eyebrows and eyelashes); these characteristics make the sinner demon reader closely resemble an imp in shape, color, and appearance, despite not actually being an imp (causing the other demons to mistake or confuse him/her for an imp, much to the annoyance of the demon reader), unlike Fizzarolli (who is an imp), since imps were never humans unlike sinners. Due to now being a demon, the reader realized that he/she had died and didn't survive (but is unable to remember how exactly he/she died, although he/she still remembered being human before meeting Fizzarolli) and he/she had manifested as a demon. Unlike the reader's previous human life, the reader as a sinner demon not only tolerates vulgarity, sexuality, obscenities, and swearing, he/she now enjoys them (due to his/her soul becoming corrupted as a result of him/her becoming a demon), even using profanity/swearing himself/herself unlike his/her previous living human self. After all that (in either hours or days later), Fizzarolli later rediscovers the now-demonic reader (who was working at some business in Pentagram City, either working for a common business in Hell (such as drug store or a strip club) or in a black market, had now already got used to his/her life as an imp-like sinner demon) and, by now, the reader himself/herself had permanently and completely forgotten on how he/she had died (the reader himself/herself believes that he/she had died from either a heart attack or a fatal accident when he/she was a mortal human), unable to remember and having no memory of meeting Fizzarilli nor any memories of Fizzarolli killing him/her (having permanently and completely forgotten all about how he/she was killed when he/she was a mortal as soon as waking up in Hell, due to the demon killing him/her rather than a fatality caused by anything natural or man-made, thus the reader thinks that the reader himself/herself had died from a heart attack or a fatal accident). So the reader, upon arriving Hell, just views Fizzarolli initially as a random demon he/she just met, however Fizzarolli actually remembers the reader. After having found the now-demonic reader, Fizzarolli forces/enslaves the reader (which the reader is completely okay with it due to his/her new demonic state) to be another clown/jester alongside Fizzarolli for Asmodeus's nightclub, Ozzie's (which is located in, not in Pentagram City, but in a different city in Hell in the Lust Ring, rather than in the Pride Ring where Pentagram City is located), to increase that nightclub's fame (with the reader now having a clown/jester outfit similar to, if not identical to Fizzarolli's clownish/jester outfit complete with the jester hat similar to Fizzarolli's jester hat, and he/she now also has white face paint, to match the color similar to Fizzarolli's burn-scarred face, complete with painted black cheeks). The demon reader no longer has any disabilities (thus the demon reader has no autism, no OCDs, etc unlike his/her former human self) if he/she had them before as a human, due to the reader's new sinner demonic influences after dying as a mortal. The now-demonized reader is unlike his/her past human self, as he/she is no longer offended or disliked vulgar nature/jokes, crude jokes, or sexual jokes (and no longer offended by swear words or refusing to use swear words if the reader didn't like to use them before dying), instead he/she now enjoys them just as Fizzarolli enjoys them (due to his/her soul being influenced by his/her now-demonic nature). And thus, in his/her hellish afterlife, Ozzie's has thrived ever since the demon reader came to work as a jester with Fizzarolli, and the demon reader is now happily working for Fizzarolli (who is the demonized reader's boss) for all eternity. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (this story should include the profanity/swear words (including but not limited to fuck, shit, bitch, etc) from Fizzarolli himself and, after the reader died and became a sinner demon, the demon reader also says swear words as well due to his/her now-corrupted and demonic soul/nature) 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).
