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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2N7ztnKvj
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zKFbQa2rN
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaXTwsmShg
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhCxlgeqGX
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3MHAFuAwP
"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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6RtI6foL4
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8bBtH3Onr
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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNZMoVsPZU
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QqqN9TeIr
"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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH12hBjrGUy
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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQtpAiqh1O
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLN5Ay8LFW
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoYnZ5O3qQ
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?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7R5TAbC20
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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0YyEsvbPI
"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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJgvQtdJQc
"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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWWefwAfIH
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTcRhsgUWK
"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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpmBaQZQGm
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hu2uGwyGW
"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?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ678boiOtu1
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvrmWv4yHa
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDsyzitSEs
"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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IPhOwvMBu
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdq4WngihA
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFQWjgSjrI
(No GPT used past this point)
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsNdbeIY5j
"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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuBRXRaWYa
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNqdBbHOvA
"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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeO6n2W9hk
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtHlK1lqhP
"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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRAWK6j81c
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U7fRHqsfW
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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qQc4Ds2L8
"So basically, just going on dates?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlNvV1ShRl
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfqwvTghrc
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjMZLt0iW7
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubocRzdK1O
"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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxlYglMHEV
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX85KQz4e6b
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsylhoNI5Y9
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSOtDp2PFP
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eGJjNwN9W
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrzlKXQviK
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfvTruIjMR
"I will never give up." He booped him.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1p2XpYYB2
He booped Al. "Me neither."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oPl6SezKe
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW5RMUY08b
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgZmOXUsiZ
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq87HzZmR1
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

boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Ei6JsZS0
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZhDb45pEm
"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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKdxQKlDEP
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FaXEG8iuO
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppE4d9Xrav
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yzpxLJ67O
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69iUScEn5B
"I said, you are annoying."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvxrW80lR1
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWoeCv12Ps
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmr99Yl6HX
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1UQlk5QyB
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOfVlKspWS
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zsD7UJeir
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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi9GCF8jhl
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qUXLMgqFW
"With someone like you that makes sense."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3f24R64ik
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8WLGgQJVJ
"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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD0v7IofCM
"Oh. That was fast."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiDbajhdP5
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CoWj4fYm7
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndntENv2KB
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa1zk2YZEb
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8lVtIZyr5
"You should use them as paper weights."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ5AKL30Pi
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6R9GjGJat
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC6ISc4wsx
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mzLXCqu4y
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Pj5WOoQw
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsjsCCI7ix
"Maybe I could teach you."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQHfdhHBM
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeIgqkUAOs
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8jRKMGEwA
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy0ZmCFbQM
"Now you get it!"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJVPUxYUc
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPao03Mfo5P
"Why not?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLktxqcjrCm
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUM1GNuPUc
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74OajQ330n
(Scene change to the lobby)
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4z8VdNVkl
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfYEMFy1zx
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo9F9USvSH
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EjaBumxbc
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj2CIEshdK
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEWqIc4AMD
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwrUeC3UqS
"Good." He responded.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNPi7TSOca
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoNrIduEPP
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4kWvoAze
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1IjWeu2CM
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1pyB63Kep
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw3Wzr12sH
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML8Sw4rdF5
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozX0hBuEeU
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf9CKsY6kX
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbTmjiQ0a9
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t1Jjdq6N3
"No." Husk said.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71rxoadFe
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCWsOWrUXz
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3VtAxevNs
"Problem solved."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LabF6EoLf
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DSksjRNMG
"Because skill comes with height"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLxxgZpXfD
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvMIcQsTdF
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G1l6MKgrR
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2a6AmJSlT
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXEIRatUC3
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn2p1IsBRV
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGILv4kNoL
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM2ONw6Itw
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rat3t1uYX
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKQaThrZ7u
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELr5fQ77V8
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg9G4Gdr2E
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKiaaaxZ0N
"You said it Husker."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZAyTRZQGw
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAEphuo50t
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHxycvkYTW
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6AoJuL9t1
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfkBQ8S6D5
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmctGNhyy33
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCaQG0tsAS
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yKvwHCnOG
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLk1WrRw6U
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH2AIFyDiO
"That's not enough to get high."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAcjGJjhv9
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gSXq6EXNH
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIylZR3HAHj
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
