It's morning in Hell, again looking all the same as before. Alastor lazily sat up in bed looking like a disaster. There was a soft knock at the door. "Who is it?" He asked, fixing his hair.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi0QaFXjDr
It was morning again in Hell, though it looked exactly the same as always—blistering skies and charred ruins. Alastor sat up in bed, looking like a complete disaster. His usual neat appearance was a mess, his sharp suit wrinkled, and his hair was a tangled mess. He groaned softly, rubbing his eyes, the weight of another pointless day settling in.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDGjtMpTx0
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4eYYB83jq
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QOYU3pSh6
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH09ujV5XA
"Oh, enter." He was still sitting on the bed half asleep with a hangover.
Rosie walked in, holding cannibal bacon and some pancakes that may or may not have been made by Lucifer himself, along with a glass of orange juice. "Hey, I heard what happened last night and how you might have a hangover, so I brought you water and made you breakfast."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72xP7XOCZ1
A familiar voice called from the other side of the door. "It's Rosie, dear!"
Alastor, still slouched on the edge of the bed, squinted against the dull light and groaned, his head pounding from the hangover. "Enter," he muttered, not even bothering to fully sit up.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJZHsxZknG
The door creaked open, and Rosie stepped in, carrying a tray of food. On it was a pile of cannibal bacon and a stack of pancakes that looked a little too perfect, like they had been made by Lucifer himself. She also carried a glass of orange juice. "I heard what happened last night," she said, setting the tray down on the nightstand. "Figured you might need some water and a decent breakfast."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9HbUvKsqp
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7chFmWp6P
"All of it," Rosie replied with a smirk. "Lucifer's a good gossip. Don't worry, though—he only had good things to say about you." She set the breakfast down in front of him.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1otUe5yM1
Alastor picked up a piece of cannibal bacon and took a bite. After a moment, he sighed, rubbing his temple. "I'm never getting drunk again."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7CJ3YSstL
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rWLVEYitS
After breakfast and a bit of recovery, everyone had gone off to do their own thing. Rosie was on the couch in the lobby, scribbling in her gossip column for the local paper. Lucifer sat at the bar, nursing a whiskey, clearly trying to drown his own hangover. Meanwhile, Alastor was in the radio tower, doing a broadcast like a true professional, his usual sharpness back now that the worst of his hangover had passed.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QBFaZdv2B
Alastor finished his broadcast and, with a snap, appeared in the lobby. Rosie looked up from her newspaper, smiling brightly. "Alastor! How are you, my friend?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MEfCO5yTd
He waved casually. "Quite well, just finished a broadcast. How about you?"
Rosie sighed, her pen flying across the page. "Could be better. So much to write, so little time."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cwb4VElQa
"Panicking won't help," Alastor said with a smirk. "Need some help?" He snapped his fingers, and a shadow puppet appeared, dancing on her desk.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qL0ieDLJG
"I'm not panicking! I'm just... power writing!" Rosie insisted, then nodded, convincing herself. "Yeah, power writing. But, help would be useful." She picked up the shadow puppet.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KU6DD0q8E
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPmibOWIjw
"I'm not stressing," Rosie muttered, but her smirk said otherwise. "Lucifer is, though. Maybe you should cheer him up." She shot him a sly side-eye and went back to writing.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8k7mmOgub
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0kHGNzYyz
"By being nicer to him than you are to me," Rosie replied, then paused as her phone buzzed. "Oh? I just figured this out... how did I get a message already?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7OqvSv3Ln
Alastor shot a glare at the phone. "Well, you're not wrong... I suppose."
"Just go comfort him!" Rosie urged, glancing at her phone. "OH GOD, IT'S EDINA!!!" She stared at the notification, wide-eyed.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0TRO3AUVs
Alastor raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean 'mine'?" He snapped his fingers, sending out a burst of static, then softened. "Who's Edina?" He winked and nudged her.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ9dBg806w
"I mean he's yours," she said, smirking. "Go do whatever you did last night to make him so happy!" She quickly hid the phone. "Edina is a friend. A friend who confuses me."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sFnN7PGvP
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs8GLMa4NL
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7WFKfrxJ2
(No GPT used past this point)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACBuMT2o0r
"Nothing happened last night." He remembered the drunkenness. "Maybe something did happen, why don't you take a break and go talk to Edina? She could use your presence in more than one way."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKfDcD7e8e
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl0tnl1CN5
"T-that's uh anyways, you should know, how many husbands have you had and then divorced? Maybe it's time to try something new or rather someone."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB09YWuKH8E
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0hrRTyWLn
"Edina." He tilted his head. "You're closer to her than you are with any man."
"Edina is a woman though... I've never thought I've liked a woman, so I don't think so."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRALdFK8OP
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiPYPaRZtA
She pondered for a bit. "Well, many of the times we've gossiped or joked together. Mostly dinners together, most of which I cooked because she likes my cooking better than her own."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznw1ijU9eV
"So basically, just going on dates?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvxBTjE3wK
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa1OBRLPHJ
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11A4O3cVqk
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkY2v3TFit
"How would I even bring that up? OH! I could invite her to the hotel tonight! She'd love to meet you guys! Also, I think you should go comfort your pook- I mean, your king."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPqpuJkkt8
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjI4tUrpXy
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRUPVzULAo
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocRXzFgKg9
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqrUF3i5zI
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Ws40I7jf
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13UbjqPypl
"I will never give up." He booped him.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF1v4hKSDd
He booped Al. "Me neither."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNSdnRD9e5
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq0gdePQe8
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89MGescQzy
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7g5ZAleqa
boops "Well, I heard her on the phone with this person named Edina and I swear that they're having an affair or something. Plus, she also seems stressed about writing." sip sip
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB43fcPDp5z
boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86TKK5Ax4W
boops "Well I-" A knock on the door interrupts the sentence.
Alastor answers the door Hello! Do you know where Rosie is?
She was sitting on the couch, writing quickly.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFXSvWmWim
"Rosie!" She walked past a bamboozled Alastor and over to Rosie.
Rosie's head shoots up to look at Edina "Edina! You're here!" She stood up excitedly.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1honrfvOK
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDctyZeQnB
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sO6XB97oZ
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J80ko7Maa
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMuA0vypug
"I said, you are annoying."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj5kh3TGuV
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI1PNkqjAI
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqiOwbZnnp
She had a gay attack. "Oh... okay. Well, not many people live here yet, but it's quite pleasant that way." She dragged her upstairs.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFZfxL98d0
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW16GlfpGV
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Fvk9hwf3
She held Rosie's hand tighter with a smirk. "Do they know how to do math? Because then they can solve their own damn problems."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrKHVRaUGT
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeNoeWTRHh
"With someone like you that makes sense."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbpkv0mJU1
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafwNKTzLzI
"Well, are we going to stand outside the door the whole day or what?"
Rosie opened the door. "Sorry, I just wanted to make sure you finished talking before I showed to you." Edina rushed into the room.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSgUb17I1R
"Oh. That was fast."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnLFrL5exA
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZgDuiWEC8
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1JNV0baWg
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdy5LtlDGx
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcgVU9bbWA
"You should use them as paper weights."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xozviePbu
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8OFB0yUNF
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtaDV5OmI3
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1h6ggP89p
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lgIkx6DdN
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iKM9uPTsE
"Maybe I could teach you."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmawEscPOw
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncfcPzYfNv
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dpuWQhX8i
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2vXWW7nxO
"Now you get it!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEdFYOgIhT
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5vJ8M1eMV
"Why not?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLCFwtAX0p
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCE7rKlLVm
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkGcGx5qxs
(Scene change to the lobby)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ye1v6JlDL
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVjaRJPWcc
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd6hBqVjXk
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoXq2CyeXD
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mFaCxtV9e
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPpIf76WEU
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJKr6hpS4Q
"Good." He responded.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7B7K1trvh
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeofgAJmBc
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpJI69vQpX
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncthPa0oIB
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwpkymAiCe
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJrf4Gtp2d
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IwpI4bHuF
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ngFwTOqi
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnczDtVCGAB
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CY1PKaZzv
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCdhLgldp8
"No." Husk said.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI85JwRs09
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcnobFpVa8
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYtaNV67kL
"Problem solved."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Y14CMzTP
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6W8RbgMoX
"Because skill comes with height"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVbkbVKIVz
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb6hgWR3Ih
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnJqw2GghT
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9MYyPUXzI
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUOalPKZNX
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQz3HFbppR
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a9FGmzxVN
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKQEnF4a8K
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCMYQa3MYm
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4KhgF2vYZ
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjsXK9qDFM
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYcDqgj4xl
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF1Omu8mUo
"You said it Husker."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn6risZYbG
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEtqDgxDZT
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpACw26Uhe
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHE567V0oe
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrLu74Oqw1
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH3tBEm8Mr
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TkOnB04Ca
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5noDrapRZY
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBnBu660J9
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvzBDEHVjd
"That's not enough to get high."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj16P06Ijs
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcGWN7gDWc
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs4zVm7MRk
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
