You never thought someone like Alastor, the notorious Radio Demon, might call you out based on a creative venture. But here you are, staring blankly at your screen at the atrociously detailed piece of art you labored on — Alastor turned into a different kind of creature, an attempt to translate his malevolence into something you found more... manageable. You think it's clever, a real twist on a notorious character. But if only you knew.
One late evening, when the sun had long dissolved, something unearthly filtered through the airwaves. A strong yet enthralling static buzzed and the next moment, the familiar face of Alastor transmitted directly from your laptop screen, serpentine grin and all. His malicious, rich voice echoed through your room.
“Well now, what have we here? Seems someone decided to play around with my image, how charming. But I think it’s time we played by my rules, my sweetling. Let’s teach you a lesson about meddling with forces beyond your comprehension.”
Before you could fully process what was happening, the room warped and twisted. Terror clenched your heart as you found yourself lifted into an abyss, a chasm separating your reality from the unknown.
You slammed onto solid ground, but it was different — hues of crimson and shadow warping the atmospheric remnants around. You witnessed the infernal landscape of what you somehow knew was Hell. Alastor stood before you, eyes a vivid malevolent glow, lips curling up in that over-wide, permanent grin. His sentient microphone cane twitched eagerly.
“No use resisting. This is going to be such fun!” he laughed.
Tendrils of shadow coiled around you, and it began: the transformation. You might have let out a guttural scream, but the darkness swallowed it whole. Every fiber of your body reshaped—flesh stretching, bones elongating painfully yet with a sinister grace. You shrunk and elongated in all the wrong places, your spine extending as you grew impossibly tall, surpassing seven feet.
Your old clothes disintegrated, replaced instantly with tailored elegance: the signature red pinstripe coat, accentuated with dark-red lapels and white piping. Gloved hands adorned your fingers, staring back at you, foreign yet now intimately familiar. A monocle slid seamlessly over your right eye.
You noticed, or rather dreaded to notice, the taut pull of your mouth insistent on that permanent, surreal grin. You desperately tried to push the smile down, working your fingers against your cheeks, but panic welled up as it remained fixed, resolute.
“Surely, you didn’t think it’d be so easy, did you, old sport?” The voice boomed around you, yet the horror came when you realized the voice now sounded like it was your own.
The terrifying flood of memories held no mercy. They crashed in, vivid and unrelenting. The comforting warmth of your mother’s kitchen, the aroma of Jambalaya filling the air. Each radio announcement, each deceptive deal struck at the expense of naive souls, each glinting trick enveloped your consciousness. The laughter, the echoes of your human life as a notorious bogeyman of New Orleans began to overrule your very essence.
“The Radio Demon is awakening, delightfully in fact. You’ve been sleeping within a mundane shell for far too long, brother,” the insidious voice—your voice—crowed. “Together, as the bona fide Twin Radio Demons, we shall make Hell the grand theater it deserves to be!”
And then it clicked. Memory upon memory overlapped with dissonant harmony — two lives blended into one grotesque history. You were always there, even if you were half asleep within a mere mortal illusion.
The final vestiges of your resistance snuffed out. There was no past human life — there never was. Your name, your history, your very self— evaporated. You became Alastor, his newly reborn twin brother, identical down to the last toothy grinning detail.
After what felt like an eternity and no time at all, you... Alastor... looked around with those dark red scleras and burning bright irises. The original Alastor grasped your shoulder with a grip that spoke of brotherhood and discipline.
“Welcome back, dear brother. Let’s show them what true entertainment is!” he declared, a sinister laugh akin to a symphony.
-----
In Hell’s Hazbin Hotel, nothing seemed different. The cartoonish yet malevolent denizens kept their usual routines—Charlie Morningstar radiating hopeful ideals, her voice echoing in the hallways of redemption. Vaggie shot both of you a scathing glare, eyes filled with distrust. Your grin widened.
“Hah, our ever-irritating watchdog keeping up appearances, how quaint,” original Alastor mused.
You replied, voice speckled with an old radio’s charm, “Why Vaggie, do lighten up. We’ve come to aid our dear Charlie! And by aid, I’m sure you mean enslave us all, don't you?” she spat back.
Angel Dust waltzed past in his flirtatious, nonchalant demeanor. “Double trouble? That’s some freaky stuff, even for me,” he drawled.
Husk brooded nearby, pained and anchored by his soul’s contract. “Dealing with one of you is bad enough. Two? Bloody hell,” he grumbled.
Niffty darted up, her cyclops eye shimmering with excitement. “Yay! Another Alastor! This is gonna be the cleanest, brightest place to terrorize and spruce up!” she chirped.
You and your twin brother shared an insidious, synchronized grin. It was good—no, thrilling, to be home. Together, with the princess of Hell, her ever-dubious girlfriend, the scandalous spider, the begrudged catman, and the relentless cleaner — you would watch, and manipulate, and bask in the chaos.
High time Hell received a double dose of Radio Demon grandeur.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the human reader turning into an identical clone of Alastor (from an 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, most importantly, 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)
