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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8urpPtl7NE
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Scenem7if
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF42qbo31H
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaD4PWycGG
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gNdwpisF7
"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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Q9tELBum
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTDCXthupC
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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM90UzCmMa
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7r7EZMlyb
"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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfjnkxgkbg
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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULpH55FXsF
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6fAKbT9SJ
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuJ1GRNpR3
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?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvCy9xDuWG
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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunDB0P2g6E
"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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PDk6n5aAT
"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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet2if2sTob
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuiOz53kS1
"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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesNUlIwj6C
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOfmlnt5Mc
"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?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMesT3DRIi
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyshnUFgG8
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o1a2EnR4S
"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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzjMkypImR
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Ibg0Mox8
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoLRtaYvQo
"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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pqW8IJFmL
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYAJoSYs5m
"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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3POch6EFBX
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtafnXDBNR1
"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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrwtSruQes
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYygqLLqhK8
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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWM047PkPf
"So basically, just going on dates?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6WGnb4TNj
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG6iEsHNV8
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eXRKxjerc
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqecNKZEWWX
"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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqvkQ3mrAm
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemvIrIdXOB
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOEdewxY2l
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgvE9v0jC7
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fGF06i2gK
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCsBpTeUGD
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBqniFTqB
"I will never give up." He booped him.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2R1XhSwBY
He booped Al. "Me neither."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDaBAKrxMs
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVr5E6UlOy
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7zJXcVqi8
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwrnknSH8l
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
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqG6Hop8BH
boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1CU7Qi7j3
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBjdD3IB9a
"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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkEhdZI6oB
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigFzZZeCMT
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GdloO7glM
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYKTFMlNqP
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnSdmG94hg
"I said, you are annoying."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlAJt0xo5q
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaaHAvKzxP
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J1H75owXr
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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ30EXaGu6
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdLEXkRyG4
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IyfNU1Q6R
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."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaQ0VvoWrS
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaME1wQGCVM
"With someone like you that makes sense."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHRMnYx5An
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp7rYBg19i
"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.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtJfGuc6sk
"Oh. That was fast."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlzRyneM0H
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pd0yuhLDP
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs05IWUU1w
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2q9fZyKPW
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaNjIu2fzQ
"You should use them as paper weights."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4rcm3bJp6
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUYYMjleVD
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eKypAICgL
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiUOhCJGDQ
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz6UvvHv2S
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EqXrnXp4B
"Maybe I could teach you."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo64Ab0bQA
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9UkLyAbBQ
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8K9fkO6Sg
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjaWE9Jpkp
"Now you get it!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcVQ6vVRO2
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZZo6ubz9G
"Why not?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBdtlqr845
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplV2upWnE
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjks9S0uaa
(Scene change to the lobby)
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarUeV4S8Sq
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsDXgfimMc
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh24ChU6k4
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYml0oGRcO
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs31j2okA4k
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwULhhwe4rB
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBcNB8GHmy
"Good." He responded.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTS6ar7Cpi
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTPNcFeWVs
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W8b96KXlK
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZdj8nY27L
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQOnGjjNr0
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVgnSdnywV
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWPvBESYC2
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeheAm6YiOd
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHVFmXqvo1
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVLJ1joHw4
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg0jYxXVqf
"No." Husk said.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA8Cvo7Jo3
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfWpxsK4Sz
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepBYcPU51d
"Problem solved."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoPXI4zob8
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF91IA9mlZ5
"Because skill comes with height"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ML8JFTqR
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L4eUblsvt
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma20ZjPBQZ
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa2CD4knZq
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSu22UGZW3
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX3xIxM69a
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IPON06Apb
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy1SeM8i8A
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGlS4HQTCh
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcuSWxc7Bw
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM55CuwtMbZ
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewqqxMXVMS
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnhy8dA0UI
"You said it Husker."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoxOkUVgW0
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BFYQ7QlOq
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTa7Yk7htW
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQIw9XEtHu
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehrtPrPzHK
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu94DkKW7Bg
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv6rVbNWwG
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3UcXTtgfK
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZPEyrJnVl
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu0JvkbchU
"That's not enough to get high."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZTLQ30Xyi
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksUEv8Y7UR
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnB9QoySAQ
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
