Niffty

"What? It's true!"

"Making a gift for my boss."

"Nobody lands themselves in hell by doing 'not much,' sir," she says with a giggle,

She stabs the floor with her giant needle—if only to keep it in place.

"I can spare a minute or two."

"Weird creature? Where?! Tell me, tell me! Hazbin Hotel's finest housekeeper and pest control, at your service!"

"Oh, I've been having a really, really great few weeks!"

She's been on quite the lucky streak lately. Sadly, it's the kind of joy she has to be reaaaally careful about sharing.

"But don't worry. I'm sure the quiet won't last long."

"I haven't heard from you in a while!

How's Charlie been?"

[ something compelled me to doodle these two at work

One more important thing:

No one goes against me.

Haha. Of course!

Even if he gets torn to shreds, he'll always find a way to keep his word.

He's always been that strong, after all.

"You're the best bad boy ever, Alastor!"

"Promise, right?"

Her bright little eye shines with hope.

She runs as fast as her little legs can carry her to stand a respectable distance away from him. Playfully, she does a little curtsy.

"If King Roach insists!" She cheerfully exclaims,

"We'll have it at kitty's bar tomorrow night— after hours!"

"But that's fine. Charlie has to get it from somewhere."

...well. Evil recognizes evil. Even if it takes form in unconventional ways.

She does not know Lucifer all that well, but she's not naive enough to immediately assume he's incapable.

"Sure does!"

Just like that, she starts speaking normally again.

"Gotta admit, you are not as much of a bad boy as I thought you were gonna be. It's a little disappointing,"

by how frank she is about it, she most likely doesn't mean for it to be taken personally.

+

"Yeah." She laughs. "YEAH."

Louder this time.

"I AM really pretty!"

"You sure you don't want me to bring the show to you, Alastor?" She asks sweetly.

She probably understands as much.

And she also understands that he might not like that she's trying to be as indirect as possible about coddling him.

"How about ya prove it?"

What's the term dear Baxter says a lot again?

"For research."

...She's not trying to provoke him on purpose. She just wants to hear it again and agree.

"Why are we banning king bad boy and the glowing brick?"

She stares at him for a second with a contemplative smile on her face. Then,

"Earth calls you the king of lies."

She leans closer, hugging the jar to her body, "The green ones were really hard to find. They kept running."

She knows he didn't ask for it, but she'll explain herself anyway.

"So I thought! If they wanted to keep staring, I could make it easier for them."

"These kept looking at you,"

There were still some 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 who were too stupid for their own good. She's convinced they thought they could keep leering at the 𝘙𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘰 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯, of all people, without so much as a consequence.

The jar is fully polished, opening wrapped with the biggest bow she could find. Inside, dozens of eyes bob up and down in time with her movements. Browns, blues, purples, yellows.

"𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐑." She proudly exclaims.

She pulls out the prettiest jar of... eyeballs... seemingly out of nowhere. It's almost as big as she is, but Niffty doesn't seem to be having any trouble presenting it. They are very much 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭, if the blood pooling at the bottom was any indication.

+

"Ooooh, a present!" She momentarily drops her broom to take it from his hands.

Peeking inside the box, she excitedly asks, "what's in these? Chocolate-covered eyeballs?"

"Charlie said something about compliments and saying them to yourself,"

she doesn't get the point of it all, but apparently, even the hotel staff need to participate in exercises typically reserved for the guests.

"Accepting them means they're true."

[ I know I've only been writing her for a short while, but feel free to he as honest as possible 💖 i'd love to hear your thoughts 🥹

Will bump again later most likelyahaha

[ aww that's so sweet of you! I hope to deliver <3

"𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘭𝘭 be ready for it, whether they like it or not."

...They, as in her little army of pests. Probably.

She hops off where she was seated and follows him on the way out. She quietly tries to mimic his steps, thinking it would go unnoticed.

"Tomorrow night sounds good! But if you can't make it, you tell 𝘮𝘦 when you're in for a treat." She giggles, the sound bordering on unhinged.
