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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2RvuAI94o
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqJOidng5g
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvkr9hXXYD
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PfNyzAb9q
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH1k9d1WSm
"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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GMv0tyZAG
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7eIfzvCVe
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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKOPcEzydC
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKyWKmWQqz
"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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlc6OUashE
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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3npee5AgOS
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlxDoTshME
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik2toDBGl6
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?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa2nSZAQmk
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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY28NVPUSW
"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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTbDVkBmgU
"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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pv1qzHOc6
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfgcPjqbeq
"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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiHju55OqJ
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6VYvYX085
"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?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5U1hpU92g
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHyQQCYA29
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSneABBAiY
"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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcctxNn7nvR
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DF8UhacOY
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YnAplvLRW
(No GPT used past this point)
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9BYHqRcrs
"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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2EsCoFv0E
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqX8WGrQDX
"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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBvmi4iZpy
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYoIpx8VYm
"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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOexWxq9hc
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VfntV7gpn
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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibkg9xWNrw
"So basically, just going on dates?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB9iWQSCZF
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wGbvjQR4h
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FzGMcelrZ
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXy6CpVv2I
"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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMMjAME7dF
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjLnqbTtTq
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4sZPIv58f
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8eqYQw24c
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TWSP64DCj
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwimxB7EH
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMBIhGrvtN
"I will never give up." He booped him.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ieqREoZ3o
He booped Al. "Me neither."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1VbY4C4Xb
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlchmdVFyj
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMpcRW30Gb
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JhGAK3k9O
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzDP5cDPFi
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhqtvxflq7
"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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vkO4iPwJ3
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYGr9qLqCo
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yZIBcNdjT
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlggw8MtEM
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcaEUymY1Q
"I said, you are annoying."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiOae4WTb7
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYxZ94aKAt
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3RCEM7pmR
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCdLfWF7RA
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡper8L68lhH
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dcPagQWhX
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."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9roaHEUsq
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJdx53VWFp
"With someone like you that makes sense."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn2Mxp72JJ
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZDWxGU01y
"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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dGx8lgacB
"Oh. That was fast."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAJ4kRj02Z
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM04Q4gD0f
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN81uxOZhi
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkmkccbJ3V
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpAZYa2zyr
"You should use them as paper weights."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2yRyi9dm5
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzd4ZQM5K5
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxprSCVpmT
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMORVifJgMJ
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfmPQWHALy
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoEzUfxGAp
"Maybe I could teach you."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZbgMA1euK
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74R7wF4S1v
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AIXyhkbYu
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHLfy363gF
"Now you get it!"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO6ltUxPSX
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa3JlVeTYv
"Why not?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYwZD792k
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEZ1uZ6Wyv
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo06ROVVxB
(Scene change to the lobby)
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjpWJIuS2K
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMCmjnRs6Y
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEcfutzCSV
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYqtb5ZPQy
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBuJPRyVgY
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ob9bwkKVz
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1TW1lghcU
"Good." He responded.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2sDcfecyH
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlukf6YLs1
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJio22lrFR
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvambCrIJHB
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9PHQGNf3p
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSVNjkRw0k
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErB9q14AGU
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiYZqd4coh
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3T6Tzp48l
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOgyCvdOIc
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHY3CbNo2B
"No." Husk said.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQvOqzuchj
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Dzzk3nQE
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Xos7eNAV
"Problem solved."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYEQef1sVq
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1vfcs0HcU
"Because skill comes with height"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWMB0bjTSm
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WFADlfhpP
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZpFMafKy1
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdaf8cWneB
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx2gdpJx77
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV0eePoWUZ
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV7x4gKhNr
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC0Wlgm41H
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjp2FoP2hd
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOe0wcWy0u
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrsGoQkUNW
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxipuGcMD9i
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZgDqcQlNN
"You said it Husker."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK8EOOD0Ab
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2f3EaTFFF
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf1F2EKgEA
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKauYX9jfi
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcNgZoxKJU
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VYvv9FCpJ
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRynKWdZX3S
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6utiPX3usF
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYoytExMpd
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe6gIRqb8f
"That's not enough to get high."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgU9YZeOdF
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfiXfc0XGr
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGn9Ic9eHK
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
