"Symphony of Shadows: Embracing the Radio Demon"
0 Points
Lost in a sea of idle thoughts and half-hearted doodles, you sit at your desk. You'd been browsing fan theories and artwork for "Hazbin Hotel" when something odd caught your eye. A shift in the air, a flicker on the screen. Before you can react, a grin—wide, sharp, and undeniably sinister—emerges from the shadows, pulling you into a vortex of crimson light and static noise.
When you open your eyes, hellfire flickers on the horizon. You're not at your desk anymore; you're in the very world you've read and thought so much about—the world of "Hazbin Hotel."
From the darkness, a familiar figure appears—Alastor, the Radio Demon, walking towards you with an unnatural gait. He stops inches from you, his permanent smile somehow wider than ever.
"Greetings, my dear listener! I see you're quite interested in the tales spun about me," he says, his voice distorted like an old-fashioned radio. “However, I’ve grown weary of seeing myself turned into every creature under the sun. It’s time you learned a lesson.”
With a flick of his wrist, swirling black magic circles around you, red Veve-like symbols illuminating the air. You struggle, cry out, but your voice is swallowed by the encroaching darkness.
Your body convulses as it begins to change. Pain courses through every vein like molten lava. Your skin pales to a beige hue, your height expanding impossibly until you stand seven feet tall. You feel your bones stretch and reform, your muscles tightening and constricting into an unnaturally thin torso. Fingers and toes retract and shorten—until you have only four on each hand and hoof-like feet.
In the midst of the transformation, you catch a glimpse of your reflection in Alastor's monocle. Horror seizes you. A broad, wicked smile stretches your face, sharp yellow teeth bared in a gruesome grin. You try to force your lips down, but they refuse to comply. Your hair shifts to resemble a pinkish-red bob cut with black-tipped tufts, your eyes glowing dark-red with bright-red irises. Your voice, when you manage a scream, is twisted to match Alastor’s—reeked with eerie, vintage static.
"No, this is not happening!" your thoughts scream, but they are muted and overwhelmed by something stronger, something sinister.
Memories flood your mind, unwanted, unstoppable. You are no longer seated at a mundane desk but in front of a vintage microphone, hosting a radio show with your twin brother, Alastor. The smells of your mother’s jambalaya fills your nostrils as if your human past had never truly happened. You remember your grisly deeds on Earth, now seen through the eyes of a dapper, sociopathic entertainer.
"What... what am I?!" you try to remember who you were, what you used to love, but they evaporate, mere wisps in a hurricane of foreign recollections. A voice, your voice, but not yours, whispers in your mind, “This is who you are. Wake up from your false human dream.”
Understanding dawns with terrifying clarity. You are Alastor, the Radio Demon. You have always been, always will be. Thoughts of rebellion fade into the abyss, replaced by a smug satisfaction and a sense of control that you never experienced in your previous life. The fight is over.
“Welcome, dear brother!” the original Alastor says, taking your hand. His grin, now mirrored perfectly by yours, welcomes you to your new eternal reality. "I knew you would come back to me."
In the epilogue, you and your new twin peruse the grandiose halls of the Hazbin Hotel, where Charlie Morningstar’s grand ambitions amble toward dubious success. Vaggie, her ever-watchful partner, eyes you both suspiciously.
“Keep your chaos to yourselves, Radio Demons,” Vaggie scowls.
"Why, Vaggie dear, would we cause anything less?" you respond in unison with your twin, your laughter intertwining like static on an old broadcast.
Angel Dust, sprawled lazily on a couch, flips through a magazine, sparing a glance. “Well, if it ain’t the double dose of trouble. Count me... mostly uninterested.”
Husk, your subjugated coworker, mutters under his breath, “Two of ya now, huh? Just my frickin’ luck.”
Meanwhile, Nifty zips around, ever the ball of energy. “Hey, boss! And new boss! Need help rearranging the break room?”
You and your brother exchange knowing looks. With a flourish, you both snap your fingers, rearranging the room instantly. "Not today, Nifty. But your enthusiasm is noted."
Days blend into whimsical moments of power plays and broadcast fun, mastering the dark arts that gave your new life flavor and meaning. The echoes of a person you once were are long gone, replaced by the glories of being one of Hell's most formidable forces.
And so, the two Alastors continue their charming havoc, each step a dance in the endless show. The Radio Demons have found their stage, and the world, both old and new, tunes in with bated breath.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of the human reader turning into identical clone of Alastor (from the adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with gender change (if the reader is a female), 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, 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 tired of seeing artwork and stories (online) of himself getting turned into other characters 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)
