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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB48U32cCkk
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglieIzlS9D
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZIiYrkAIT
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHVrYGI0IA
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv2WMGWnp1
"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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cu7vPywdc
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGiP8vFSAn
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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo0GwMlqAI
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a0SazUjUW
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefjGTKI5fT
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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3h7Pvr90P
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrakLzleKn
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI49deEt4m
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?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvh664d8wi
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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMK095V1dU
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesvxfTtLKK
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUtW7YNKeT
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2dwtd4MyC
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiIaeVJ9LO
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuUvznPSva
"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?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jA6bs6AgD
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NRU0oZeOQ
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19yP6bQg1S
"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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0krRnnckhp
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8GHzj3tBj
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo151Wl2SB8
"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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJdmUDwXsl
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IYM08kNnI
"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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0LIe1L4IJ
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJmmkeifAO
"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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8o81va4Gq
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TL3KFCAPm
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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvNDH2k5BQ
"So basically, just going on dates?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaWCAUooLg
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe08j77Koq7
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4oYQeg3MM
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkdHt2O0IC
"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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH6RJVPVPY
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxcZvlULoy
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QDyti5jSU
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINvdh7OzID
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbloebmq47X
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo16WucYRW
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSP42wQLzP
"I will never give up." He booped him.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemkqJ9XU9C
He booped Al. "Me neither."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7yUjsQaCm
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L70AjZhIs
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHrQCBAl0h
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoOVYsTJh3

boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgmCkVbiJM
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2eGGgrETU
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hNEhYbUS
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVAAN6nNkd
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswc9rVchzr
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfVSg2tRXC
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMJTEfgAcq
"I said, you are annoying."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay33QkPHly
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fh2i4zBrg
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrsMpjCCbU
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFSXUGvEPf
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVAMAIMv55
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdHGTwKaLD
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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh16iRvFAB
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdXWO70ya1
"With someone like you that makes sense."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkqbZuSVdf
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFAcfJMAJU
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRAaXVnjsg
"Oh. That was fast."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SiEVPIOpW
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdYKNR5DiX
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN4J2dBydj
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2FP27hFtO
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXzR1nypeP
"You should use them as paper weights."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZyLUoyJAe
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadTC7Z7ezu
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe5SULS07N
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjkFjaMPFx
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDRmNaIOF4
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVS9AyWMfK
"Maybe I could teach you."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrd8hzKDoR
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCNZHulb0G
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMfDNId5aa
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCiyuAc0IS
"Now you get it!"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChM1SmUz4k
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aVGu1dHPY
"Why not?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsrLWLmDxg
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PhINJQN8W
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EBMclCYuv

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH7HEhdjiU
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgZEvz2OT2
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7HOJwcVNf
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkgv1xiKTQ
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QRxzha2lU
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPT9o7y5hz
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYRevyde3
"Good." He responded.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCNsAmb347
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz01ENdXwg
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGXDOt6I0F
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ERdZjYxc
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ZTI6SS4X
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplN2jl27Yx
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ZPUlkVju
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcirCDhohak
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfpnJzG6pE
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtXY1kU0vG
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn0uZVftqp
"No." Husk said.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7T9IbW4Dn
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUFDjzbbkY
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8q9ysxWG7
"Problem solved."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZhJ93GHWq
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfCO7HzwIH
"Because skill comes with height"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNHlpOvgcL
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZYKOxzS5n
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IlnDPFkH0
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGYaPY29En
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsfhsSbdJ
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibZ36hpxxf
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeLvn6PL1i
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65XGMi6kIo
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzKNmfpejJ
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlwBp0KTNV
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnC3qZ3D6r
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0WDYwu6qz
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cA7JqWcZR
"You said it Husker."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6azCOm4Sz
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Qnwc4xC2
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt6kCQSO0c
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG7IIPsank
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2mRdgNyVy
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFMsdQkReL
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB6bNr8I0o
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ua5zXfkw2
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuwWQeW8Rv
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkdQoLYH1Z
"That's not enough to get high."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdh4zkd3LW
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PaH41KX9r
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc7QeMBrRB
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
