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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK2z5VVO6j
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4srfbj0APW
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSUB8Lwe9r
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEDnkFtKeO
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUIDumzxTv
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHjrjSCPAj
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdce7PZBvmB
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJCoiK5eoM
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdupDtjOVae
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMWwjDit2S
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrmz7tb67W
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4a1cVqKn1
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQa4sF9NNQ
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?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls00O9KQWy
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QncZmNsn9
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJmhsFrwSV
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3GFGCw62u
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MexALYpYC
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nHOQyYYj1
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DJVW8vz5o
"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?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOnOOqUDYG
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk0M0mxcw8
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0CQAcmQdW
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2uYWIDrUV
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3CmHt1KBo
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTMvK6P0y2
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFpmTjx5MH
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaAlbdEm9J
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoeYhoL3kS
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHtaQwtHia
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAqSHcq2Nx
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ZePzxVBS
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwXwjW9qoU
"So basically, just going on dates?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3XAIKPkYK
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmjGVcxiqI
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeV2rbRqD0
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhkB8WyIV9
"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZymW3qddj0
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQy4OdLXSD
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhFYhNObVI
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRy5vS9JRD
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyenW3RLFAj
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxQN5x0VBD
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzgiMwSiPV
"I will never give up." He booped him.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVt89mnvLa
He booped Al. "Me neither."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cdxbhKy4l
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaPPrfNDCO
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSubRzyphc
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NDqyYno97
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRAJ9nk00K
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem0N4Eui3n
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpIjuezpbq
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IDfxdlw6k
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE70FEY0KK
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0DGhdyRUf
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO62W8mRwME
"I said, you are annoying."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP4xah64R3
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CVUdQcO1V
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMqh17xT5x
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQqyysbo7k
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5we3Kw0Al7
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7OJJnla6I
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxpbgakQ5c
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDi34JgJY
"With someone like you that makes sense."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKsqU6B5VE
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRHp3niIqs
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMRL9ZgvSr
"Oh. That was fast."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKSIxRnB0K
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9dM7GnmYP
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21l3P1i7E3
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeY5Xeuv8Z
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dAV9J4uP8
"You should use them as paper weights."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k9zwyGVGl
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmIOTHWXeh
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAQcvy2nDa
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BEsMJ2n1r
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvF7OjsA44
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL4LRd12Rd
"Maybe I could teach you."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8UoTy4aOt
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y7AXcjUBN
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ImFmpCoUA
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJN80G65gA
"Now you get it!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmZhEPP7zC
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdnNo1xnet
"Why not?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfi2am8EKN
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZW7HO15o
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6AMypPRJD
(Scene change to the lobby)
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAadwCleOq
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiyyWok6Mk
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5DxF3E1qC
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSjLTEgNLb
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2F7FNgypW
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXm4wvD15W
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacAmZZpPy3
"Good." He responded.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOOkKSFxso
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCehBIlinR
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNopTD6xVyx
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdysnlKKNC
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOIYtyOvKT
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtkNisxeVb
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalymDKv5hs
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5DUjYxURA
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC4EN8ctHc
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8azw3Dhfq
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj3RVGLtrR
"No." Husk said.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhInqPSF58s
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6wfpsd1uq
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSAn2jQDGy
"Problem solved."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEPWaYxzu0
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LEwtZtgaE
"Because skill comes with height"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJnGILXxUp
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzei6Kx7VOs
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyEfU6CguC
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3a7oiYrEv
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTCfX1kYAq
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdJmxG3mDq
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvsaS3h2hV
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wnINq3ZDL
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamk7ZORe1h
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxfPCaVPOP
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQV29KiA8a
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI7CqWtZ9Q
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCryILOX6km
"You said it Husker."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZNWnDSlYo
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcoROECKzu
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy9J2mBQEy
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0qfRjfwpr
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlybEOfTQHi
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnVzwIOYaw
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDbeLiPPhN
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhnPi5a3lo
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWatl8vfDSq
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVi4ho1VMn
"That's not enough to get high."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2D6vhvOfF
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizqUQx3asO
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmlosTTQxl
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
