"Dual Echoes of the Radio Demon"

0 Points

You blink. Something about the way your screen flickers tells you **it’s not just lag**. Your friend (or sibling) is next to you, lost in laughter over an image: Alastor, warping into something ridiculous—a car, maybe, or a queen ant. You roll your eyes, but the room’s colors seem to bleed at the edges, the sound of static swelling, **crawling into your bones**.

Then there’s a voice.
Not the one you expect from your friend, or even your own, but an old-fashioned, honeyed static that sits just out of sight and whispers directly behind your ear:

*"My, my, now isn’t this simply precious? If everyone’s so keen to see transformations, perhaps a change in perspective is overdue!"*

You try to move—to shut off your computer—but your arms feel sluggish, your fingers tingling with pins and needles made of **radio static**. With a jolt, the world around you blurs and snaps right back into focus—but it’s not your room anymore. Crimson-stained wallpaper. Distant jazzy tunes. Hell.

You’re in Hell.

And he’s here.

Alastor stands before you in all his dapper, nightmarish regalia, smile splitting his face as wide and sharp as legend claims. Instinctively, you reach for your friend’s hand, but your skin prickles, the surface crawling as *your* reflection flickers red and thin and alien in a nearby gilded mirror.

"Welcome, guests! Or should I say—twin experiments? Don’t let your faces fall—oh, but that will soon prove impossible!" His laugh isn’t a laugh at all, but a burst of radio static and showtime applause.

Your body is already changing. The tingling becomes wires wrapping up your limbs. You watch, shuddering, as your flesh pales to beige, your torso stretching, thinning, bones clicking as your shoulders grow broad in sartorial accuracy. Your hands—**four digits now**, claws gleaming at the fingertips—grasp at your cheeks and jaw, which *won’t stop smiling*. You try to push the smile down with shaking fingers, willing it to fade into a frown or, at least, show some damn *fear*.

But your face will not move.

You hear your friend—voice warped and warbling, half-tone higher, then lower, then leveling out into that unmistakeable, smug radio “breeze,”—cry, “Why can’t I stop *smiling*? This is *wrong*! This is—!” The words die, replaced by a perfectly inflected, vintage-laced cackle.

Alastor’s voice pours in over you both, smug and sweet as poison:
*"It’s your nature, my dears! Smiling is our very soul. Or...what’s left of it!"*

The next change is sharper, deeper. Heat sears through your nerves. Your body contorts into an impossible pose for a moment; you’re as flexible as liquid shadow. You watch helplessly as your chest, if once flat becomes tighter and more angular, if once full curves recede painfully as the skin tightens and an Adam’s apple juts out, voice lowering, thick and golden and now indistinguishable from the original Radio Demon beside you.

Your arms and legs gray from halfway down, flesh hardening into red hoof-toed feet and clawed hands, colors bleeding in rich reds and shadowy blacks. Your clothes twist, flare, contort—a pinstripe coat replaces whatever you wore, all lapels and bowtie and monocle settled over your freshly alien eye. You itch at the antlers sprouting small and black from your scalp, brushing against the undercut of your new—*Alastor*’s hair.

Your blood feels cold and bright as it is exchanged for pure *auditory static*; your mind gropes for memory. You try to recall your old life—home, laughter, the taste of things *sweeter* than now—but every thought is battered by roaring, crackling, pure-red memories not your own.

Your name blurs. Your birth—now in 1900s New Orleans, not your hometown. You *remember*—no, you don’t want to remember—but you do, anyway—your **mother’s jambalaya, the soft shuffle of jazz, the string of radio broadcasts and shadowy, bloody work**. You, your two brothers—identical, inseparable, infamous—all clasping hands before the microphones, your laughter bright and wide and monstrous.

Your friend’s (or sibling’s) face, so like *your own* now, is fixed in the same unbearable smile. You try to cry out—no, not like this, *please*—but the words don’t come. Instead, laughter, softer and easier than anything you’ve ever spoken, comes out.
"I suppose this is only fair. Let’s see these mortals write their way out of *this!*"

A voice hitches in your mind, the last echo of your old self: *Fight it!* But the tide is too strong. Alastor’s memories, his *personality*, surge forth:

You adore yourself. Fashion is everything. The culinary world, radio, jazz, trickery, twin voices entwined in delightful cacophony—this is all you crave. Smiling, even now, is your greatest shield. Your twin (once your friend or sibling, but now as fundamentally and alienly you as possible) laughs at your side, and you both snap into step with Alastor, identical in every way.

The original watches, beaming, and his voice filters from his cane’s sentient microphone.
"Welcome back, my brothers! Did you enjoy your little nap? The world is more *diverting* with more Radio Demons in the circuit!"

And that is all you know—that this is home, that the three of you have always been together. No hint of your life before. You are Alastor’s twin brother, your name just distinct enough to be your own, yet still a part of that beautiful triple harmony.

---

**Epilogue:**

The Hazbin Hotel’s lobby is painted in golds and reds. You—no, **your new name**—stand at the side of your twin and the original Alastor, monocles gleaming, smiles wide.

Charlie beams (in that hopeful, doomed way only she can). “Alastor! You never said you had brothers!”

The three of you bow in perfect time. “Of course, mademoiselle!” you reply, your voice and your siblings’ a perfect chorus. “A trio is ever so much—entertaining!”

Angel Dust’s eyes pop (as much as a spider’s can). “Whoa, wait—Al’s got clones? Hot! Hey, Husk, wouldn’t it be fun if there were three of *me* too?”

Husk groans, wings drooping. “One Radio Demon was too much. Now there’s three. Charlie, I want a raise. Or to be dead again. Or both.”

Niffty whizzes by with a giggle, eye dilating in delight. "Three dapper gentlemen! I'm gonna have to keep this place extra clean—triple the monocles means triple the fingerprints!"

Charlie gives the three of you a bright, trusting smile. "I'm so glad you're all here to help! Just—no eating anyone this week, okay?"

Your grin widens, as do your brothers’. It never shrinks.

Alastor answers for you all, voice gleeful and cultured, vintage radio crackling at every consonant. "But of course, my dear. We wouldn’t dream of spoiling the *show*!"

Vaggie’s eye narrows, but she keeps close to Charlie, eyeing the three of you with open mistrust.

Angel snickers. “Seriously, can *I* get a couple of clones up in here? Bet I could keep ‘em all busy!”

“Don’t tempt fate,” you and your brothers say, in perfect unison.

All is as it should be.
You are home, Alastor’s twin—smiling, powerful, forever at the center of Hell’s most spectacular broadcast, and you have always been so.

And somewhere else, the memory of a reader and a friend is nothing but a shadow drowned in static, lost to history, as three Radio Demons laugh, voices humming with radio-borne joy.

AI Prompts

Prompt: Write a POV second-person transformation story of a human reader and his/her also-human friend or human sibling completely turning into entirely-identical clones of Alastor (a character, voiced by Amir Talai, from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with gender change (if either the reader and/or friend/sibling is a female, their breasts vanish as their throat gains an Adam's apple to give them a more masculine voice identical to Alastor and their female privates (vagina, ovaries, and uterus) from their crotch/nether region invert itself and pushes out into male private parts (a penis and testicles); however, this is optional and only if either the reader and/or friend/sibling is female before the transformation), voice change (the reader's and his/her friend's/sibling's voice becoming identical to Alastor's voice), instant clothes change (the reader's and his/her friend's/sibling's clothes instantly turning into Alastor's outfit), 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 and his/her friend's/sibling's personalities and memories being permanently and completely replaced with Alastor's personality and memories, despite the reader's and his/her friend's/sibling's best efforts of fighting off the new personality and memories, making them completely forget all about their past selves and remember that they always had been twin brothers of Alastor the Radio Demon (even as human Alastor's twin brothers before their deaths at the same time in 1933 and their immediate arrival in Hell as the Radio Demons), even remembering that they share the similar names to Alastor (but completely distinct from Alastor's name), which is their real/true selves (unlike their false previous selves, which were just daydreams)). For Alastor's appearance (after the reader and his/her friend/sibling turned into his clones), 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 a first-impression of a good-natured and charming man, wearing a permanently wide grin on his face at all times. His 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. He is noted to be narcissistic, with his love for himself being stated that no one else can measure up to it, and he does not see many people quite up to his level. Alastor is described as a man of duality. He values good manners, affability and intelligence very highly in others, and will actively look down on those who do not meet his standards, however he will often play fast and loose with these arbitrary rules in regards to himself and his own conduct. Alastor has an odd sense of morality, which is described as "not normal", and has been noted to be quite sadistic, even cannibalistic, devouring lesser demons or those that have incurred his anger. Despite this, he keeps close friends with the other cannibals of Hell, including the denizens at the Cannibal Town. His smiling is a very self enforced form of ego and a show of power and dominance; he looks down on anyone who lets their true emotions show, and even when faced with a rival in strength, if they let slip a frown, Alastor will see them as truly weak. His smile is also to be more unpredictable and unnerving, and gives him a feeling of complete control over himself. While Alastor is powerful, he is aware that there are other demons and entities that rival him in terms of power, such as other Overlords. For this reason, he is wary around such demons, as they could potentially harm him if he is not careful. Despite everything, Alastor does genuinely seem to want to help Charlie run the Hazbin Hotel, albeit for his own amusement, and hopes for its failure over siding with her idealism. Alastor also dismisses the idea that redemption is possible as laughable, nevertheless, he fulfills his role as patron as promised, providing the hotel with staff, and protecting Charlie and her business from outside threats. He views the whole endeavor as a fun distraction from his decades of boredom. Despite consistently having a confident and cheerful demeanor, he harbors a vulnerable side that becomes apparent when confronted with reminders of being "chained". In this instance, his facade of certainty crumbles, and he succumbs to panic attack. According to Mimzy (Alastor's friend), when Alastor was alive he would become a "kitten" (not literally a kitten) if he drank enough rye whiskey while jazz music was on. Here are Alastor's preferences (his likes and dislikes); he likes himself (including his own fashion style), smiling, doodling, gossip and drama, invading others' personal space, his mother and her cooking, jazz music, strong liquor, cooking, seeing people fail, playing pranks, bitter tastes (especially those of black coffee), theater, dancing, the Stock Market Crash of 1929, venison, being in charge, Charlie's potential, pineapple on pizza, and making jokes. However, he dislikes Lucifer Morningstar (the king of Hell and Charlie Morningstar's father) and his "tacky" circus décor, Susan (a Cannibal Town resident), being touched (including his hair being touched), dogs, frowning, tea, anything sweet, Angel Dust's sexual remarks, being humbled, post-30s' technology, anyone ruining his outfit, being controlled and reminded of it, the idea of the hotel failing, and Mimzy bringing destruction to the hotel. The story is that Alastor is getting bored and wanted something new and more entertaining in Hell. Not only that, but most importantly (the main reason), Alastor is truly getting sick and tired of seeing artwork and stories (which he sees online, despite himself disliking technology made after his human death) of himself getting transformed into other characters and creatures in both body and mind (such as himself being turned into a pregnant human woman, himself being turned into an ant queen, himself being turned into a transformers robot, himself being turned into a car, himself being turned into a bus, himself being turned into an airplane, etc), either from different series/franchise or from the reader's and his/her friend's/sibling's real life, which Alastor genuinely views as distasteful (since he does not want to transform against his will). So to teach the reader and his/her friend or sibling a lesson, Alastor (by some supernatural means) briefly left the series' Hell and into the real life Earth to kidnap both the reader and friend/sibling and sent them to the world of Hazbin Hotel before he uses supernatural black magic at both of them which turned them into his clones, thus turning both the reader and his/her friend or sibling into Alastor's identical twin brothers (both the reader and his/her friend/sibling notices that their grins were now unnaturally wide and permanent, both of them try to push their grins down with their own hands/fingers to get rid of the smiles in order to frown or show fear but they cannot due to making emotions other than smiling were completely impossible (they even asks in horror on why can't they stop smiling, before Alastor tells both of them that it is their nature to smile), both the reader and his/her friend/sibling also tries to fight those new memories and personality of Alastor flooding their heads, they both are horrified and not wanting to be completely transformed in either body or mind, but are fighting a losing battle, and Alastor tells both of them that this is their true selves and they are waking up from their false human dreams, making both the reader and his/her friend/sibling truly and fully believe in Alastor and realizes that they both had always been Alastors alongside the original Alastor, having been born as humans from the same human parents, enjoying their mother's cooking and their favorite food jambalaya, the trio of Alastors being radio show hosts and serial killers on Earth before the three of them were killed, three 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, three Alastor twins want to help Charlie run the redemption hotel "Hazbin Hotel", albeit for their own amusement), and the reader's and his/her friend's sibling's minds have also been completely replaced with Alastor's mind, before original Alastor welcomes his twin brothers (the reader and his other definite sibling (formerly the reader's human friend/sibling)) back home. In the epilogue, the three Radio Demon twins (the original one, named Alastor, and his twins (who were once the human reader and his/her friend/sibling), having names similar to Alastor's name but different from Alastor's to help distinguish both Alastor and his twin brothers from each other by similar but different names) are in the Hazbin Hotel, with Alastor introducing Charlie Morningstar his brothers (even revealing his brothers' names) as Alastor and his identical twin brothers help Charlie with her redemption hotel ("Hazbin Hotel"), while also interacting with Vaggie (Charlie's girlfriend, who doesn't trust Alastor or his twin brothers, while Charlie trusts all three Radio Demon twins (Alastor included)), Angel Dust (an adults/pornographic film actor who's a male spider-like humanoid sinner demon; after seeing that Alastor has a twin brother, Angel Dust wants clones or identical twin brothers of his own, much to Husk's annoyance), 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, but now (much to his annoyance), his soul is now also owned by two of Alastor's twin brothers (since Alastor owning his soul was bad enough, but now his soul is owned by Alastor and both of his twin brothers)), and Niffty (a miniscule 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).
