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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymKQOLugXS
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2PxyQBHHh
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v9NnOjJt8
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1sf4Dcfh1
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FJQZvbeHb
"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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyqlgjhy9h
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOyXxi2vSJ
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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dv4tcYDMV
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD9kW6j84f
"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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtrAmLpnzR
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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZQFzBNkp1
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt6kMe78Rn
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHWf6eXd4v
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?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP40uexVWG
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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ3FRCHeca
"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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIvZL3fdH4
"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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI33pwaUMla
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyLnIQrslm
"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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2QsN2ZX1e
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ5khZRtzG
"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?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTZZhVhL2z
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZzwXT48rW
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskj7Te2jA0
"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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEOPzYkciT
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4M6GNtpkW
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9JOKAulmw
"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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcTbltyp9a
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAuROqIzOc
"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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2wgzZjCpi
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyAZseFLV2
"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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSBE8B2p76
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJyxvJ8wLj
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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZ6qkwdMZ
"So basically, just going on dates?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDvHgpwGgr
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFq9uWtcZm
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemRQNmbSzZ
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELOSo2y8Oj
"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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejtvtbev2I
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7UtNhC1Hn
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJLAWY3Qlh
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlIjBIJ8gg
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOEs7JG4bS
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFCR0Ahj5g
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9hqlbntSw
"I will never give up." He booped him.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKy3BnO99e
He booped Al. "Me neither."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8qqyrYAX9
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AB1NiKKlG
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshUy4Nh2eY
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVwA7yR8oz
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
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVySmdIKTAL
boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR1o81HxDL
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMSux5Ln8z
"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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXEOMzQeDq
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7qeAWvHDu
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp8rKTIRjA
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2JEIlboEn
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyo4s2FDfb
"I said, you are annoying."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3OjskZdm3
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSFrgtCAT
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9mZN8F5nR
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqq6Cc4Ycn
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWyT1R0B1M
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJOEAIw4k9
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."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAJsYSsAPJ
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO6724B7gc
"With someone like you that makes sense."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc04ncUkCOc
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrTOL9JjwK
"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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF9W9MdOGN
"Oh. That was fast."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgx8iDa6xW
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV49Qk6GL7S
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7LuzH0Pdr
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxbXBzcUm
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcbDgkoJvm
"You should use them as paper weights."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTjpQI4r82
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs7b9UuL9X
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE0FBmpRVU
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAYInRBiAc
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAQJOM3bs2
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYicHp3fXW1
"Maybe I could teach you."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhGN27ge0j
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4QyYogvw3
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyzhaAcJQ7
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdX3AQAngj
"Now you get it!"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxbOPtl750
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYol9TFl5n8
"Why not?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQRJmGtXIc
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdRITn1LrQ
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDm53XTmv1
(Scene change to the lobby)
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgRB3Mb4Vm
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCCVTtyFN8
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrmY2aL4mc
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXisnRV5sBY
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5uSjes5ji
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKfX2ybqN9
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqYxWniBsC
"Good." He responded.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44hee82spL
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33pMjJO39l
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIgVu0wgrg
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl84gkye8Zb
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PSmgXPgSg
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo2jooH80V
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQhReWDIGL
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZLPYCdQ6z
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1eTnGBkQW
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzgrgJbGfP
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUQikUYgan
"No." Husk said.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiwvA5y4kh
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1odIb9h9f
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscxi7VGdxc
"Problem solved."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZQlA2W185
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJkoCMNZiu
"Because skill comes with height"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5EXDNICrT
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8McgTnLA0y
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZpdGujihO
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7YROUHr5O
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGILhZFUBX
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMcEzRptTf
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiAbUajrci
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGfDZgQjtq
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCwLNWUxvb
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkt8jbtoWw
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdcXfypoWl
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FchLEnffR
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZXMBbn4jh
"You said it Husker."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDdCj8l4P8
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ukK2t4Un
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qoIlAJY2R
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasm8BO6HjX
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqpPooTX5V
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0P9yWawgs
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPSsiMwOHv
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmhjwQ0CmZ
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjKfPzeQpE
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsW2IznCsD
"That's not enough to get high."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ArReqEfK
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnIGkuhd8H
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZqLxhFv6g
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
