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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEZvRETX7e
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7hm4tUeP9
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a7FWofMum
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ778ykfF0bI
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TD09eDWSh
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD0Tf6m4k4
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPAfSJg7yY
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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWcOd4TmOs
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpgSoDU5XX
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0N9ETgkWp
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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxjNGd6ZUw
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz95CiD6clS
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxbEc2UwQG
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?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2WeeMCPkc
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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG7iQBXFx0
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XuJMIetOX
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqtcjr52mE
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokAk2Llie
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYy5aB6CgF
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga5jDMIJx1
"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?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34gpVkTQR0
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tye0tOFfc
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1ITUrOODF
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtKYxUdVGK
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CaHfKs9o8
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRJTVG9TQI
(No GPT used past this point)
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1cq7WrcnS
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJRJUVh9Kq
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbf7j3dJS7
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt30sevBKEZ
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvTrRMd9Zb
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3COLiWL5zc
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmqluxYk6q
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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdJ3D3NYbZ
"So basically, just going on dates?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB20DzJLMw8
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuk4G9g3UZ
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89P2QFXlAj
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYY0lwpY30
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrcuSR05hS
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLHboqKFT2
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgsOvRjBKs
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYViRivdRS
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhtN0VcP1J
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxoZd8ycI4
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVYW48j2Vh
"I will never give up." He booped him.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6hlTIpJ7d
He booped Al. "Me neither."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5vq2wJAQK
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxQZVArmcm
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4vjAQDbFa
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvP6PjlYVp
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllfpgKrPqh
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOGu9sQ4Vt
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCQMfyZMYi
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmbQGLimnZ
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvmlFvE1pD
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiitfkdQI2
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidlIOnMYFG
"I said, you are annoying."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoPVcgwZOh
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkbtSRLz5m
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M8BL1oe8P
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IxC52gmJc
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaE5l5voMh
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy82SSQ5ui
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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps8pXy8zyw
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu5MN8KXyW
"With someone like you that makes sense."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq1IFTh803
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrnoN8LgY8
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTuYBVlat1
"Oh. That was fast."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG8yptoVPX
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGzcCoG43l
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6SRygRhai
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQwphuRlYt
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptN5NqadtR
"You should use them as paper weights."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3fiwrpfQF
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceg4Vb8JmO
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Iz67Ov7y
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRLcC3VvaE
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7svjXzBLfB
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbi3wNxEN2
"Maybe I could teach you."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8JpOrXIDS
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KjDhRSACt
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R3jDUZDUs
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6A5vMgnVB
"Now you get it!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSgaBqPrZy
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25yAeuDmAR
"Why not?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0rd11ZHhT
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU9KBWJYh6
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPnwjg84g9
(Scene change to the lobby)
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QY8JaFdy4
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeit5Z1S2I
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMkmYv9mvB
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPaL8Fuuo9
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDMu7PI5H3
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDWlZzD6qW
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebBbC6wRT4
"Good." He responded.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyf8gaZBGF
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2rqFJlNRq
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsPiSsUFby
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCpKqrcNl7
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXbosrjxiD
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58SDVHQAmI
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YwQeCSB9z
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KoA2258yt
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwNlTNNpL2
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSKy8XSGZl
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMgnJ67vgl
"No." Husk said.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r5C11Gvub
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5EytvwjHT
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii4HbJWegh
"Problem solved."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjuUShQ0VT
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvUfETUUQs
"Because skill comes with height"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBsM4cIZZ8
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRoHaGnwGO
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN2QRVdMkX
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xrV18widh
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3tVsaE7aY
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dUGZ0udGd
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiao6VMNc3W
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY95eydboY
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnGBt52mkb
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNpJdrc6Bz
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4aBa88mV6
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2TYCv0NwG
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWiG9eNock
"You said it Husker."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR0cplh4Yl
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xdOPPoIGY
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lVszh6pzi
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta7sZ7iBHp
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQR3MMFU8n
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNnPxHIWkR
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAiiKD44Lw
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtai6liz4t
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwYUVEpb2C
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21IrM6I8dp
"That's not enough to get high."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaHY3hvWbg
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz2uttmEBZ
