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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6MJM5vncQ
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EljjqpINO
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99obUI2XcS
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoN7yPEZ4J
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGEifWELid
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM4gIDwUOZ
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkigFX808vy
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O6bKk8dHv
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLtssTx9xU
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspgLp0Dgo1
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZu3uBY5Pl
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gJHZB5w86
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDiFenSjLu
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?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg98nAZrsnP
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGpmOItReN
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNBCdDrPJS
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrUVJZtj0v
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznG82BPemK
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIxW1ax2a3
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWDPvx2GG
"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?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY61iFu3cW
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd36ZialLq0
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooieq6EBhi
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHygUqtCC8
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhdwaZ1225
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)
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs7exzLiJ3
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡianZ47Oj8h
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVWGePSCVB
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkJo8Xh91q
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkQ3LCR3ne
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKeMqfmE7m
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8aisl3884
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID7yHLSLc5
"So basically, just going on dates?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtXio7VLh6
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiBbJWgmF5
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4OnWj3tp7
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZudgpPPwBS
"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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfRjb2WCV9
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxToLtQusVm
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6UPGWqTMx
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBg9izkbMa
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2AC4GUPgH
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uQrp8vsKF
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj0DvNlevQ
"I will never give up." He booped him.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0j5XrGT87
He booped Al. "Me neither."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcdRyk1vrx
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOwDHjZc19
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J51FjijML
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHI0Od7l4H
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviHMJmpSvs
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD26cSUugQ
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdVptYvHRB
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8GzGoXeca
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlHmcroRdS
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQxHOb0Gv9
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYzhgORwAy
"I said, you are annoying."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfobrO4Lfm
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCA3OIKuQt
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoVuloZDPs
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRtEyPRAcl
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytbKjjYdSZ
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqukJRouHZB
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR5TNYKyOl
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYETQiegHvQ
"With someone like you that makes sense."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVUUDB9rp7
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zyIxdyZEH
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLwUijn8HJ
"Oh. That was fast."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj4lE239yY
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXukLWiAlD
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGngf7Q0upb
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDXJFgu4vO
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaftgPh25iD
"You should use them as paper weights."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHZL2jf2Vo
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd7GSbgYKX
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMFERwsvQZ
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEUVOWBnE8
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L5rreJykb
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm30CTVz4d
"Maybe I could teach you."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuksLKu2OuR
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhHEp92XCI
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsBFJoF74p
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aGZ8c03vc
"Now you get it!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJq9qdt2tU
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtujVSBCSQc
"Why not?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXGxHjT4GG
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VmqCDkUoi
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMV4WnZVs9
(Scene change to the lobby)
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUT4BuaVgn
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS09Qi4Kq8F
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q7MVTcDU7
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFRh1CazMY
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY5bzQoNRb
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvihWpHfpI
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HNfxSoQab
"Good." He responded.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRSQZCIHXQ
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfpBlQmfyL
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHrO0lEMcf
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGms7moMIN5
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVwPsLnFT0
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XJpeHyNgL
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9DIj5gtkp
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheTtEv5AFx
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbrDIr2xUW
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOUAMONfwk
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDbFLW3Qc9
"No." Husk said.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytiAC7dg50
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3hZ6b8BVt
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgUihvUjt1
"Problem solved."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumvNJxRXxk
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXjGAaTE1Y
"Because skill comes with height"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwk5YO7jRv
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p9WT7XIlh
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPfhZbhMaj
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXirccFuQF
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVylO4m9NYG
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglFBP4c5oT
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgMaeTFG3n
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYVAOy5C0G
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ett1mAsS4
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiU83QEJmk
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvFodFeYyc
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0ecuHDWiY
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTolPNEU3FK
"You said it Husker."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwR0CRWzMI
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3FM8hCuvt
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y51e4r9KU
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqC20jCg3G
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UHJrGZTbK
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfn74A1CZp
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQxOizoutQ
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wq2h9eUdb
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJo9HZNjps
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H19zXc9j3
"That's not enough to get high."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBZFYk0aCB
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwCjS7xb0W
