Certainly! Here is a **second-person, immersive transformation story** based on your prompt, shifting from your perspective as a regular human into Vox from Hazbin Hotel with all of the intricate and comprehensive changes described. Profanity appears only after you become Vox, and the story includes direct thoughts and speech (and eventually, Vox’s delightfully colorful language), with a strong focus on the Hazbin Hotel animated art style. Let’s begin!

---

### The Fall of Normalcy

It’s another routine afternoon—sunlight dappling the concrete, distant hum of traffic, the murmured rhythm of your city a comfortable blanket of sound as you stroll down the sidewalk. You check your phone, thinking of dinner plans, life’s static-y background noise merging with the soft shuffle of your sneakers. That’s when a metallic clatter splits the air.

**Thunk.**

A jolt of pain arcs through your skull. The world glows white for a microsecond, then you’re plunged into hollow, muffled darkness.

Your arms flail up, scrabbling at something cold and unyielding encasing your head—a... television? The bulk is massive, angular, encasing your vision in a glass-and-plastic sarcophagus. You can’t pry it loose. It barely budges as you wrench and yank, panic scraping at your throat.

“Help! Somebody—help me! Is anyone out there? I can’t—get this off!”

Muffled footfalls echo past. No one pauses.

Sweat beads on your forehead. The TV isn’t just heavy—it’s stuck, fused, melded with the circumference of your skull and neck. You’re breathing hard, the air dank and stale inside this electric crypt. Static begins to tingle at your fingertips, a low thrumming under your skin.

**Why won’t this come off?** you wonder, your heart hammering. Cold dread creeps into your bones.

Then, the world inside the TV shifts—a swirl, black and white, pitch and pearl, a spiral blooming and devouring the screen before your eyes until it encircles your field of vision.

**Spin. Spin. Spin.**

The room—the street—gulped out of existence. Dizzy, your mind fuzzes. Fatigue washes over you, your thoughts slowing as the spiraling rhythm **starts consuming pieces of your identity**. You clutch your head—your TV head—trying to focus, battling to anchor memories as they…slip, one by one, into oblivion.

---

### Glitch in the Flesh

It begins in your fingertips—skin leaking color, bleeding from human tone into a bioluminescent navy blue. The bones shift, fingers multiplying, mutating into long, sinister claws (four fingers, not five—how cartoonishly wrong).

Your body pulls tall, stretching like film run too fast through a projector: joints popping, vertebrae stacking, muscles and limbs contorting. You shoot up in stature, legs lengthening in a dizzying, lurching shudder of flesh and fabric.

Your bones creak; your flesh warps from solid reality into something **drawn**. Lines sharpen, colors become bright and impossible, your skin taking on the flat, shaded quality of *Hazbin Hotel’s* animation. You flex—joints more like ball bearings, movement now elastic, almost rubbery.

If you were female, you feel it all—unfathomable, intimate: chest flattening as curves recede, hips narrowing, wiry strength flooding through, the heat of *change* in your core as your sexuality rewrites itself, genitals contorting and reforming as the spiral on the screen spins, *spins*, *spins*, erasing all protest and engraving new reality.

Your frame narrows, taut and razor-slim, as any trace of “you” vanishes. Your body **ages up**, flesh and bone transcending time, becoming mature—physically somewhere after thirty-five, with the certainty of experience, every line stylized, every edge exaggerated. You are drawn in the fluorescent palette of Hell, tailored in color and shadow—utterly inhuman, yet exquisitely expressive.

Your reflection glints off a window—no face, just a massive, sleek television in place of your head, black screen still swirling, but now held in the world by your narrow, blue hands.

A snap—*fshht!*—and a navy tuxedo coalesces around your shoulders, a waistcoat striped in scarlet and shadow, bowtie large and red enough to drown your collar. Out of nowhere, a delicate black top hat lands on your TV “head,” antennas bristling, the left bent into a jagged zigzag—a broadcast beacon spitting static into the sky.

Sharp, cyan claws finish forming at your finger ends as you stare down at yourself, screaming.

“Somebody! Anyone! **Please!**” you shout, voice twisting, pitch descending, warping into a beautiful, cutting **baritone** (so familiar, but never heard from your own lips before: Christian Borle’s snark, resonance, and venom all in one).

No one comes. No one hears. The city pays no mind.

Your body spasms—last vestiges of human memory trying, *begging*, to hold on. The spiral consumes, sucking your thoughts, memories, your very **name**—gone. Everything that made you “you,” your birthdays, your siblings, your secret smiles, your fears—wiped, replaced by a foreign, electric surge.

The screen swallows the spiral whole.

---

### System Reboot

For a moment, you—no, the **body that was you**—stands there: slouched, arms limp, electronic skull drooping, utterly inert.

Fifteen seconds pass. Perhaps a minute. No heartbeat, no breath. Then, with a soft *whirrrrr*—

**Your TV head flickers to life.**

_Cyan text glows in the void:_
`Initializing VoxTek device`

Your fingers twitch.
A rising techy glissando fills your skull.

The **VoxTek logo** splashes onto the screen, garish, resplendent in corporate neon. Below it:

`Loading data from your device… trust us`

A loading bar chugs along, filling with eager blue.
*Ding!*
`Enjoy the VoxTek technology`

All fades.

Something in your chest—your core—*sparks* back. Memory seeps in. Your face crystallizes on your screen—a massive, jagged mouth full of predatory cyan teeth, a tongue snaking from between wicked lips, slit, terrifying, expressive. Your eyes—one rimmed in black, the other in cyan—blink onto the blank visage.

You are awake.

### Vox Lives Again

“Uugh-hah—what the fuck…?” The first words slip out laced with venom and static, involuntary and wholly **not** what your human self would have chosen. The street is familiar, yet so *vivid*, colors **super-saturated**, lines unnaturally smooth, like something made, not born.

You reach up, claws running across the edge of your TV head—glass, plastic, wires alive beneath your palm, electric breath humming through your form.

“Where the hell am I—wait… Earth?” Your voice, rich and malicious, echoes from your mouth-speaker. “What is this? When did I—oh, right.” An explosion of memory: *your* birthday, somewhere in the 1910s or 1920s; dying in a haze of static and fame, 1950s-style; tumbling into Hell, rising as an Overlord, always fucking winning. You never, **never** had a “normal” human life past then. The absurd dream—of being born after the '50s, of walking these streets as a nobody—was just that: a dream, a passing bullshit fever.

“Heh, fucking shit, I’m back in the game.” You cannot help but grin—a wicked, animated crescent splitting your screen—delight suffusing every inch of your digitized veins.

**Someone summoned you. Some stupid, meddling cultists chanted your name and opened a door. That’s why you’re here—why your electromagnetic control and superiority are about to become the mortal world’s curse and its technological salvation.**

You stretch, electricity sparking from your fingertips, casting baby-blue shadows through the alley.

“Let’s see… what’s the first step? Oh, right. Broadcasting.” You flick a finger, and the nearest smartphone screen glitches, your visage grinning out into the world.

“You there! *Tell the world: Vox is here. It's gonna be a fucking riot.*”

You sweep down the avenue—seven feet of immortal, sharp-dressed sin, the monarch of media all over again.

---

### Epilogue: Earth’s New Overlord

**Years later.**

Every screen flickers your face: news, entertainment, streaming, billboards, every video feed—your grinning fangs, your ominous baritone. *VoxTek* blinks on devices and app launches, soothing, hypnotic advertising merging with hardwired suggestion.

The world loves it—adores you, worships you, spends every waking hour cradled in your electric embrace.

Best of all, **Alastor isn’t here**. That insufferable, smug Radio Demon—trapped in Hell, or at least far away from your empire. No snide remarks, no threats to your “Vees” brand. Only you, the Earth, and endless untapped egos ready to consume, convert, and control.

“God, it’s good to be king. Earth’s media always did need a little spice. A little… me.”

But something aches in your circuits—a longing. Valentino, your gigantic decadent moth of a boyfriend, is missing from this show. The world feels a little less *charged* without his drama, his chaos, his appetites.

“No worries. I’ll have my ‘fans’—” (you sneer the word, all venom and false modesty) “—cook up a ritual for Val. Gotta get the old gang back together. Wouldn’t want the mortals to get bored.”

### Quotes

#### During transformation (human self):
“Help! Please—anyone! I can’t see—someone just call 911 or—*muffled*—why is this thing stuck?!”

#### As spiral consumes your mind:
“Wh-what’s happening? I—my name is… my family… I… can’t… remember…”

#### As Vox emerges:
“What the *fuck*? Where the hell am I now? Back on these goddamn streets. Isn't this cute.”

(On realizing he’s on Earth):
“Well, would you look at that. Your old pal Vox is back and more alive than ever. Suck on that, Radio Bitch.”

(Talking to himself about Valentino):
“Val’s not here. Gotta fix that. This show is nothing without a little *moth* on screen. Hey, monkeys! Prep the summoning circle. It’s time for a reunion.”

#### Narration/Vox internal thoughts:
*Always the spotlight, always the king. Run from the ages, rise from the pixels. Let there be power, let there be Vox.*

You are—forever and only—**Vox**.

AI Prompts

Prompt: Write a POV second-person transformation story of a human reader instantly turning into Vox (a character, voiced by Christian Borle, from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with art style shift (the reader now becoming a cartoon character with the same art style as the Hazbin Hotel characters, rather than being a real life person), gender change (if the reader is a female, the breasts flatten to nonexistent as her body losses its curves and become more masculine, and her female genitals invert itself before pushing out into a penis and balls of a male; however, gender change is optional and it's only if the reader is a female), instant clothes change, age progression (aging until the reader is biologically somewhere around the 30s or 40s years old, exactly as left off from Vox's death from his human life in the 1950s, thus becoming immortal in the process), height progression (growing from an average 5.7-6 foot height to 7 feet tall), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with Vox's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting his new personality and memories, making the reader feel dizzy as he completely forgets he was a normal human person just a minute or so ago (fully forgetting his mortal human name he had just seconds ago), even completely forgetting that the transformation that just occurred seconds ago, so he knows that everything about his supposed normal (mortal) human self and life just seconds ago (born from the 1990s-2000s) was not real and was only a dream (it was impossible for him to have been human moments ago since his human self was born in the 1910s or 1920s and had died in the 1950s), and he remembers that he was a mortal man who died somewhere in the 1950s and always had been a sinner demon since the 1950s, always being one of the many overlords of Hell since then, and his name always having been Vox). The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. For Vox's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he is a tall and (unnaturally) slim-figured, technology-themed sinner demon who stands at approximately 7 feet. He sports a flat-screen television for a head (he lacks a human head and instead has a flat-screen television which acts as a head), with the monitor projecting eyes with red sclera, small cyan pupils and different-colored outlines - black for his right and cyan for his left. While using his hypnosis powers or simply becomes enraged, his left eye gains a black spiral and the pupil becomes a cyan electric symbol. The screen also shows a mouth full of sharp, cyan-colored teeth and a long pointed tongue similar to Valentino's, but cyan. Sometimes what looks like blood seems to drip out of his mouth. He also has four fingers (like all Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss characters), unlike real world humans. He also appears to have dark navy-blue skin with sharp, cyan claw-like fingers. Vox wears a navy-blue tuxedo with the jacket sporting coattails, red-trimmed cyan lapels, thin cyan stripes and cyan lining, worn over a red-and-black-striped waistcoat which itself is worn over a collared bluish-white shirt with an upside-down broadcast symbol and a rather large, red bowtie. He also wears heeled dark gray dress shoes with cyan-colored laces, toes, and tips on the heels. He also wears a small black top hat on his head, with red and blue designs reminiscent of a broadcast symbol and radio wave symbol, respectively. He has TV antenna that stick out the top of the hat, the left one bent into a zigzag. Here are Vox's abilities and skillsets: Immortality (As a Sinner, Vox is biologically immortal, being unable to die from illnesses and unable to age, remaining the same age as when he died, thus can not die of old age and other natural causes. He also cannot die from any kind of damage to the body, and will recover from any injury, however, he can only be permanently killed with angelic weaponry), Electrokinesis (Vox possesses the ability to generate and control electricity. Depending on his emotions, such as if he's angered, he can potentially make it so that a Hell-wide blackout happens. He caused a blackout to Pentagram City in "Radio Killed the Video Star" when he was overwhelmed by Alastor's taunts), Electrokinetic transformation (Vox can turn into electricity, which he can use to move around or enter and travel through electronic devices such as security cameras, watches and television monitors that he can control as he pleases. Though there are a few flaws to his electrical teleportation: the place Vox wants to go has to have some form of modern technology he could go through, as he apparently can't teleport through an old-style radio), Technokinesis (Vox can control devices whether he is outside or inside them. He can do things while inside devices such as changing his outfit and scenery), Spark generation (He can create electrical sparks from his fingertips, which can be used to ignite something, like Valentino's cigarette in "Radio Killed the Video Star". He can even generate sparks on his body, especially when he is angry. He also causes what looks like a small surge or ripple of electricity to appear through the floor from his feet during Stayed Gone. It is hard to tell if this is part of the spark generation or a separate ability entirely), Technological head (Vox's television head doubles as an electronic device with which he can plug himself into other devices with the help of cables in his surveillance room. He also somehow is able to change or upgrade his head, as shown, he has a photograph of himself with an older-style television head. If he's particularly angry, he and any devices he's linked to will involuntarily glitch), Bioluminescence (Vox generates blue light from his screen, most notably when he is in a dark room. His teeth noticeably shine brighter than the rest of his face, and his left eye outline and pupils can shine on their own when feeling sinister. His claws can also glow when he is using his electrical powers), Communication (He can receive calls from people, such as Velvette, with his screen head similar to calling on a phone. He can also transfer the call to another device by "grabbing" the call and flicking it to a different screen device), Video playing (Vox can play videos on his screen-face), Scrying (As shown in "The Radio Demon" comic, Vox is seemingly able to see through other screens, appearing to stare directly at Alastor while projecting into the TV display of a window-fronted store. This is shown in "Radio Killed the Video Star" to be done after he plugs his head into a monitoring device, which he may need to be able to scry), Hypnosis (In "Radio Killed the Video Star", it is shown that with his left eye, he uses hypnosis to keep his audience drawn into his program and keep their interest. He also uses this as a distraction so he can slip away to avoid any further discussion of a subject he doesn't wish to continue. The victim's eyes become red with black spirals. The victim has to be paying attention for this to work. He can use this even when he isn't physically present by being in a screen device. The devices his company sells share this ability), Self-duplication (Vox was shown to be able to make clones of himself in "Radio Killed the Video Star" during Stayed Gone. However, he has only displayed the ability on television, and it is unknown if he can do it physically), Acoustokinesis (He can manipulate the sound of his voice to sound more intimidating. He can also generate different sound effects such as echoing voices and the sound of a winning game machine), Strength (Vox is strong enough that he is easily able to tear through metal, and capable of holding demons bigger than himself, such as Valentino, with ease), Deal-making (While not shown on-screen, Vox can make deals with others in order to collect their souls just like other Overlords. Musical talent - Vox has shown to be a talented singer), Dancing (Vox can perform amazing dance routines, like handling complicated moves to even being able to hold Valentino, a taller Sinner, into a dip), Charisma and manipulation (The reason why Vox is a successful entrepreneur is that he can use his charm to manipulate others into buying his products even without his hypnosis powers, such as acting as he cares about his customers and making up products on the spot that are not even in production yet. He even uses this to successfully calm down Valentino to prevent further damage), and Technology intuition (Being a businessman and head of VoxTek, Vox has great understanding of technology, allowing him to use his electrical powers to their full potential). Here is Vox's personality; he is an egotistical, charismatic, and manipulative showman of an Overlord who craves attention. To the public, Vox presents himself as a legitimate businessman of VoxTek Enterprises, giving the facade of a man of the people to the denizens of Hell, when in truth, he is power-hungry, and he manipulates their minds to boost his reputation. He is highly intelligent and technology-savvy, and he is always keeping up with the latest trends and technology. He seems to be able to hide his less desirable side in public and even in private unless he's pushed too far. Despite his egocentric nature, Vox is loyal to the interests of his fellow Overlords, the Vees, and seeks to maintain their collective image of power. As the most level-headed member of the Vees, Vox often acts as the de facto leader. Claiming the Vees' brand to be "perfection", he is often frustrated or outright angered if someone can jeopardize it, such as when he reigns in his fellow Vee, Valentino, from attacking the Hazbin Hotel in response to Angel Dust living there. Another element that earns his ire is his rival, Alastor, whom he utterly despises and might be intimidated by as he sees Alastor as a threat to his plans. However, despite his immense hatred for Alastor, Vox doesn't let it override his more pragmatic side once he calms down. In "The Show Must Go On", he takes pleasure and joy out of seeing the staff of the Hazbin Hotel prepare to fight the angels, as he believes they stand no chance against them. This causes him to get verbally explicit and overly honest, as seen when he along with Valentino and Velvette watch the fight between Adam and Alastor at the Hazbin Hotel, commenting how the impending duel had given him an erection. He even shows this sadistic joy when he sees Alastor lose to Adam, saying that seeing Alastor suffer is better than sex, only to get angry when Alastor flees from the fight. Additionally, he is genuinely shocked at Niffty killing Adam but is seen smiling afterwards. Here are Vox's preferences (his likes and dislikes); he likes/loves attention, sharks, the latest technology and trends, video, the Vees' public image in good condition, seeing Alastor fail or die (however, Alastor the Radio Demon never died), power and authority, the idea of Angel quitting work for Valentino, sex, violence, and Niffty's homicidal behavior. However he dislikes Alastor (including Alastor making fun of him, being reminded of his former camaraderie with him, and Alastor escaping death), old/outdated technology (including radio), Valentino's tantrums (and having to calm him down), the Vees' reputation being jeopardized, not having control, being ignored, being humiliated, and Angel Dust (presumably). The story is that the reader is minding his/her own business walking around his/her neighborhood or home city, but then a flat-screen TV falls from a window from a building or house and onto the reader's head, causing him/her to panic as his/her head is trapped within the TV screen (his/her head inside the TV cannot be seen from the outside), making him/her more scared since he/she cannot get the flat-screen TV off of him/her (even questioning on why that is the case). The transformation then occurs, as the reader's head fully merges/fuses with the flat-screen TV (becoming the reader's new head), completely removing his/her human face, before a black-and-white swirl to appear on the TV head's otherwise-completely-black featureless screen (taking up the entire screen) and spins around in circles, causing him/her to feel dizzy as his/her mind to get completely foggy/fuzzy/blurry (making him/her hold his/her TV head), signifying the reader's mind/mental changes as his/her personality and memories are vanishing to be replaced by Vox's memories. His/her body changes shortly afterwards, his/her body becomes unnaturally slim-figured, his/her height grows taller to 7 feet tall, his/her body ages up to somewhere around 30s or 40s, the clothes becomes Vox's outfit (with Vox's hat appearing on his TV head out of nowhere), his/her voice changes into Vox's voice, and, if the reader is female, her gender fully switches into a male (the breasts flatten to nonexistent as her body losses its curves and become more masculine, and her female genitals invert itself before pushing out into a penis and balls of a male; however, gender change is optional and it's only if the reader is a female). Just before the end of his physical transformation (and just seconds before his TV head turns off), and while the reader is screaming in horror, the reader calls out for help in hopes that anyone will help/save him against this supernatural transformation, but sadly, no one is helping him and he is completely helpless to his mental changes (as he continues holding his TV head, as the black-and-white swirls continue to rewrite his memories and personality). By this point (and as soon as the body change, the age change, the voice change, and clothes change are done), despite the reader's best efforts at calling for help (he did call for help but no one came to his aid), the reader's previous personality and memories have all completely disappeared and fully replaced by Vox's personality and memories, and the black-and-white swirl on his TV head's sceeen suddenly vanishes (since the mind mental changes are fully finished) to leave the screen shut off (becoming simply a black screen, as if the rest button for the TV was pressed), leaving him fully/completely unconscious (with no thoughts) while standing upright (albiet with his arms hanging downwards and both his body and head tilting slightly down) for a little while (standing on his legs (despite being unconscious) whilst lifelessly, with his arms hanging downwards and his body and head looking down a bit, without any consciousness for a bit). However, after approximately between 15 seconds and 1 minute, his TV head turns on again (he's still standing on his legs unconsciously and still with a blank mind), with the cyan words saying "Initializing Voxtek device" appearing in the middle of the screen before fading, then (with the digital whirring noise rising) the VoxTek logo appears in the center of the screen before pushing up a bit by a red-rimmed cyan loading bar appears with the sentence saying "Loading data from your device... trust us" above it, and finally, after the loading bar finishes up with the whole loading bar filled with cyan, causing the digital "ding" noise to play as the sentence above the loading bar changes to "Enjoy the Voxtek technology", before it the logo and the loading bar (as well as the sentence above it) then fades completely. After all that (including after the loading bar and logo fading), his consciousness (including his personality and memories) slowly returns as a face appears on his TV head's screen, but no longer his own human face, instead his face is Vox's face (which wouldn't appear earlier, since he was mentally changing earlier with the black-and-white swirl spinning, until after he wakes up from his unconsciousness and later his reboot after the sentence "Enjoy the Voxtek technology" appears before fading with the VoxTek logo from his TV head screen, thus Vox's face appears instead of his previous human face), and he then wakes up. Upon waking up, Vox (formerly the reader) does not know where he is (he also does not remember anything that just happened moments ago), even asking that, before he realizes that he is back in the mortal realm (Earth). Vox has no memories of ever being a mortal human just moments ago, and he knows that he cannot have been a human just moments ago, since it was completely impossible for him to have been human seconds ago (since he, as a human, died in the 1950s), and that his supposed recent life as a human (years after the 1950s) was not real. Vox then does a sinister laugh, knowing that he is back in the mortal realm (Earth) for the first time since his human death. He initially doesn't know on why he's on Earth for the first time since his human death, but then realizes that he had been summoned by some cultist (who's a human) through a ritual, thus helping him arrive to Earth from Hell and thus explaining why he's here. After that, Vox goes off to start a demonic technology-based company (VoxTek, the exact clone as the one in Hell), as he did back in Hell, manipulating mortal humans of Earth into buying his products both with and without his hypnosis powers. There should be an epilogue, where Vox now dominates the news and entertainment media on Earth, having since started VoxTek on Earth (like he did back in Hell) a few years prior (after he was summoned back on Earth by some cultists), and he is happy that his arch-nemesis, Alastor the Radio Demon, isn't on Earth (since Alastor, so far, has not been summoned back on Earth by some other cultists). However, he genuinely misses Valentino (his on and off romantic interest (more specifically his boyfriend) and a 10-foot-tall moth-like humanoid sinner demon (also an overlord who is the director and head of the porn studio within V Tower, and a member of the Vees)), so he plans some humans to summon Valentino back on Earth to make Vox whole again. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (including quotes from the reader) so we know what they are saying and what they are thinking (including profanities/swears/strong language/bad language, such as "fuck", "shit", "bitch", and many others that are used or said by Vox, but the human reader does not use profanities/swears, unlike Vox (who does use profanities/swears (such as "fuck", "shit", "bitch", etc), unlike the human reader), who the human reader transforms into, so he does not use profanities/swears until he reawakens as Vox). 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).

Response: Certainly! Here is a **second-person, immersive transformation story** based on your prompt, shifting from your perspective as a regular human into Vox from Hazbin Hotel with all of the intricate and comprehensive changes described. Profanity appears only after you become Vox, and the story includes direct thoughts and speech (and eventually, Vox’s delightfully colorful language), with a strong focus on the Hazbin Hotel animated art style. Let’s begin! --- ### The Fall of Normalcy It’s another routine afternoon—sunlight dappling the concrete, distant hum of traffic, the murmured rhythm of your city a comfortable blanket of sound as you stroll down the sidewalk. You check your phone, thinking of dinner plans, life’s static-y background noise merging with the soft shuffle of your sneakers. That’s when a metallic clatter splits the air. **Thunk.** A jolt of pain arcs through your skull. The world glows white for a microsecond, then you’re plunged into hollow, muffled darkness. Your arms flail up, scrabbling at something cold and unyielding encasing your head—a... television? The bulk is massive, angular, encasing your vision in a glass-and-plastic sarcophagus. You can’t pry it loose. It barely budges as you wrench and yank, panic scraping at your throat. “Help! Somebody—help me! Is anyone out there? I can’t—get this off!” Muffled footfalls echo past. No one pauses. Sweat beads on your forehead. The TV isn’t just heavy—it’s stuck, fused, melded with the circumference of your skull and neck. You’re breathing hard, the air dank and stale inside this electric crypt. Static begins to tingle at your fingertips, a low thrumming under your skin. **Why won’t this come off?** you wonder, your heart hammering. Cold dread creeps into your bones. Then, the world inside the TV shifts—a swirl, black and white, pitch and pearl, a spiral blooming and devouring the screen before your eyes until it encircles your field of vision. **Spin. Spin. Spin.** The room—the street—gulped out of existence. Dizzy, your mind fuzzes. Fatigue washes over you, your thoughts slowing as the spiraling rhythm **starts consuming pieces of your identity**. You clutch your head—your TV head—trying to focus, battling to anchor memories as they…slip, one by one, into oblivion. --- ### Glitch in the Flesh It begins in your fingertips—skin leaking color, bleeding from human tone into a bioluminescent navy blue. The bones shift, fingers multiplying, mutating into long, sinister claws (four fingers, not five—how cartoonishly wrong). Your body pulls tall, stretching like film run too fast through a projector: joints popping, vertebrae stacking, muscles and limbs contorting. You shoot up in stature, legs lengthening in a dizzying, lurching shudder of flesh and fabric. Your bones creak; your flesh warps from solid reality into something **drawn**. Lines sharpen, colors become bright and impossible, your skin taking on the flat, shaded quality of *Hazbin Hotel’s* animation. You flex—joints more like ball bearings, movement now elastic, almost rubbery. If you were female, you feel it all—unfathomable, intimate: chest flattening as curves recede, hips narrowing, wiry strength flooding through, the heat of *change* in your core as your sexuality rewrites itself, genitals contorting and reforming as the spiral on the screen spins, *spins*, *spins*, erasing all protest and engraving new reality. Your frame narrows, taut and razor-slim, as any trace of “you” vanishes. Your body **ages up**, flesh and bone transcending time, becoming mature—physically somewhere after thirty-five, with the certainty of experience, every line stylized, every edge exaggerated. You are drawn in the fluorescent palette of Hell, tailored in color and shadow—utterly inhuman, yet exquisitely expressive. Your reflection glints off a window—no face, just a massive, sleek television in place of your head, black screen still swirling, but now held in the world by your narrow, blue hands. A snap—*fshht!*—and a navy tuxedo coalesces around your shoulders, a waistcoat striped in scarlet and shadow, bowtie large and red enough to drown your collar. Out of nowhere, a delicate black top hat lands on your TV “head,” antennas bristling, the left bent into a jagged zigzag—a broadcast beacon spitting static into the sky. Sharp, cyan claws finish forming at your finger ends as you stare down at yourself, screaming. “Somebody! Anyone! **Please!**” you shout, voice twisting, pitch descending, warping into a beautiful, cutting **baritone** (so familiar, but never heard from your own lips before: Christian Borle’s snark, resonance, and venom all in one). No one comes. No one hears. The city pays no mind. Your body spasms—last vestiges of human memory trying, *begging*, to hold on. The spiral consumes, sucking your thoughts, memories, your very **name**—gone. Everything that made you “you,” your birthdays, your siblings, your secret smiles, your fears—wiped, replaced by a foreign, electric surge. The screen swallows the spiral whole. --- ### System Reboot For a moment, you—no, the **body that was you**—stands there: slouched, arms limp, electronic skull drooping, utterly inert. Fifteen seconds pass. Perhaps a minute. No heartbeat, no breath. Then, with a soft *whirrrrr*— **Your TV head flickers to life.** _Cyan text glows in the void:_ `Initializing VoxTek device` Your fingers twitch. A rising techy glissando fills your skull. The **VoxTek logo** splashes onto the screen, garish, resplendent in corporate neon. Below it: `Loading data from your device… trust us` A loading bar chugs along, filling with eager blue. *Ding!* `Enjoy the VoxTek technology` All fades. Something in your chest—your core—*sparks* back. Memory seeps in. Your face crystallizes on your screen—a massive, jagged mouth full of predatory cyan teeth, a tongue snaking from between wicked lips, slit, terrifying, expressive. Your eyes—one rimmed in black, the other in cyan—blink onto the blank visage. You are awake. --- ### Vox Lives Again “Uugh-hah—what the fuck…?” The first words slip out laced with venom and static, involuntary and wholly **not** what your human self would have chosen. The street is familiar, yet so *vivid*, colors **super-saturated**, lines unnaturally smooth, like something made, not born. You reach up, claws running across the edge of your TV head—glass, plastic, wires alive beneath your palm, electric breath humming through your form. “Where the hell am I—wait… Earth?” Your voice, rich and malicious, echoes from your mouth-speaker. “What is this? When did I—oh, right.” An explosion of memory: *your* birthday, somewhere in the 1910s or 1920s; dying in a haze of static and fame, 1950s-style; tumbling into Hell, rising as an Overlord, always fucking winning. You never, **never** had a “normal” human life past then. The absurd dream—of being born after the '50s, of walking these streets as a nobody—was just that: a dream, a passing bullshit fever. “Heh, fucking shit, I’m back in the game.” You cannot help but grin—a wicked, animated crescent splitting your screen—delight suffusing every inch of your digitized veins. **Someone summoned you. Some stupid, meddling cultists chanted your name and opened a door. That’s why you’re here—why your electromagnetic control and superiority are about to become the mortal world’s curse and its technological salvation.** You stretch, electricity sparking from your fingertips, casting baby-blue shadows through the alley. “Let’s see… what’s the first step? Oh, right. Broadcasting.” You flick a finger, and the nearest smartphone screen glitches, your visage grinning out into the world. “You there! *Tell the world: Vox is here. It's gonna be a fucking riot.*” You sweep down the avenue—seven feet of immortal, sharp-dressed sin, the monarch of media all over again. --- ### Epilogue: Earth’s New Overlord **Years later.** Every screen flickers your face: news, entertainment, streaming, billboards, every video feed—your grinning fangs, your ominous baritone. *VoxTek* blinks on devices and app launches, soothing, hypnotic advertising merging with hardwired suggestion. The world loves it—adores you, worships you, spends every waking hour cradled in your electric embrace. Best of all, **Alastor isn’t here**. That insufferable, smug Radio Demon—trapped in Hell, or at least far away from your empire. No snide remarks, no threats to your “Vees” brand. Only you, the Earth, and endless untapped egos ready to consume, convert, and control. “God, it’s good to be king. Earth’s media always did need a little spice. A little… me.” But something aches in your circuits—a longing. Valentino, your gigantic decadent moth of a boyfriend, is missing from this show. The world feels a little less *charged* without his drama, his chaos, his appetites. “No worries. I’ll have my ‘fans’—” (you sneer the word, all venom and false modesty) “—cook up a ritual for Val. Gotta get the old gang back together. Wouldn’t want the mortals to get bored.” --- ### Quotes #### During transformation (human self): “Help! Please—anyone! I can’t see—someone just call 911 or—*muffled*—why is this thing stuck?!” #### As spiral consumes your mind: “Wh-what’s happening? I—my name is… my family… I… can’t… remember…” #### As Vox emerges: “What the *fuck*? Where the hell am I now? Back on these goddamn streets. Isn't this cute.” (On realizing he’s on Earth): “Well, would you look at that. Your old pal Vox is back and more alive than ever. Suck on that, Radio Bitch.” (Talking to himself about Valentino): “Val’s not here. Gotta fix that. This show is nothing without a little *moth* on screen. Hey, monkeys! Prep the summoning circle. It’s time for a reunion.” #### Narration/Vox internal thoughts: *Always the spotlight, always the king. Run from the ages, rise from the pixels. Let there be power, let there be Vox.* You are—forever and only—**Vox**. --- **THE END.**
