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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuZBdufxP1
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGaRx17jxW
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr7mkwmdsz
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFyMtfDVPT
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecNTHLQofz
"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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D68fmlYIK
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu2Wfjoh8q
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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55hLG6yJvC
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G5hPzC4Jl
"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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFdPKQFooc
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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbKbl3abqu
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjjaBI0R9f
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z0gi6uvIN
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?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4qqyqcsb
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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlbWgQXgF8
"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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROIMtslyP8
"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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRT9kjZ1Mx
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1TZLiT5Fl
"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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj8DTHWxfj
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yonp3n8iY
"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?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsmeDCe5at
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxfRDqaHoy
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8NI8Q3s6s
"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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ko9eJjRa
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n9b0de71z
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

(No GPT used past this point)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXrOT1nxON
"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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k1LELSVFi
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Byo0J2upp
"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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl6e5M7yTf
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXZiS1G5QL
"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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfa4uxM4d7
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF6bFIlaAO
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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBR2ZO7c8g
"So basically, just going on dates?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf84Is2d9Pc
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75sPzBK1N8
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOfd1V9hPa
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KDsoUPdde
"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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7LLwzuXBj
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvB2xyVTyN
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ApG1vgGwd
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tuVppz9HW
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82vHcNx0Bg
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpd0CLPt5J
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kcmsAcAhJ
"I will never give up." He booped him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXeFlvboqj
He booped Al. "Me neither."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZEF0aTnLv
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0U0pldkpH
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNfnqPC93K
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC9AEGRVBU
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEed5mP9aTK
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O84MqsjlM
"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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegj4DmxCYp
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly63Q681iJ
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk4yieG8yK
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq0GSvSI8C
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLlyfX29xW
"I said, you are annoying."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO0juZ3OKX
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW85hvOVQMp
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyxUZkvLR2
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Nrc2mIy5
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyO6MIKlEJ
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbFFETWxej
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."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhnZbgkRTu
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsJFji0Hpf
"With someone like you that makes sense."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc54ubB76cL
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjaq5dkYgo
"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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUI82SVAh8
"Oh. That was fast."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRP6mrfaJl
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtyT0TJqEY
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgATqmUaS1
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI2jGUSDZF
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCTZuKPyfM
"You should use them as paper weights."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJNnv18WWV
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWbH1yplcn
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnDpEwexL5
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZKttCCdM2
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP54HrJCjT
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUvAiXBR2p
"Maybe I could teach you."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Qb1vQRKQ
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb7lRgw2R9
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXcV7hIg9v
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6PE1U2MGU
"Now you get it!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso4fIRoy1t
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9cFjpHN7N
"Why not?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl7NzlJpQz
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0L8EdZIz2
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdnGLcIpGW
(Scene change to the lobby)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MpEBY3QUM
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ocPTY9PF
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAViWDdRtl
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQmhPyc0rG
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6oDKVk06W
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVPofghzh8
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkPIt4Hn9u
"Good." He responded.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZwwN3XqXl
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIyCAlCBl3
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72sH6GpjwH
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGZIyYs4ax
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQSkxqpPR
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxne1Vt80g
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswit5CuaN5
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkq3WTlB5g
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OPhgeLrCq
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB29DXGYlXv
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzx7vMk3uD
"No." Husk said.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRAThcWamH
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS778X7KTw
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdXDJHAz76
"Problem solved."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX538q2Mt4n
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ov8qNocTf
"Because skill comes with height"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSDOz0C3u1
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEhngkIuiv
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTGGBcN1iy
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuct8Fdtfu8
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOfbF0ImVb
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNjG1cRvrw
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkBwGHypPV
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vKYQpIGb
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA8lLQWUMJ
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr1pjUhmRG
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuD3AUU2Di
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhfoUgvODp
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f4T35aL0o
"You said it Husker."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmATb3WuPHD
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsWNt0xxSR
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifKyQbrtJi
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjyNDoZoVi
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLgGO1ZTmf
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3nXyFJJHo
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvZqY27I7I
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9EnlIyiWI
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oeTVZTmoT
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHYSGFbv9M
"That's not enough to get high."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNbFfBbgKB
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG7XVEtBBS
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6HZLl9mGU
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
