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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tYQMSpnoh
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxguoIvzwF3
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUWA7uSZbU
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq9HxYh2GV
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfCBC0jxOP
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7RhOK9nLk
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mb09cDSdz
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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHC70JNXv2
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpL2nUVhNP
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm5VQnoEK7
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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz603BblgA9
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaZurTvnTA
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh62CIpsGf9
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?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYUecfvMc1
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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIroAQzFjJ
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUDBNjuRTQ
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gdAmjyDdz
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK8bQiFd9Z
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy08l0JBGz
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlomTDDEuv
"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?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf5TLilNH5
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4ebF0nfC9
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cdwScMi0z
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8JV5RxGz5
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3B1lcTxxa
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhGnLpc1Ta
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qZCX2vuTL
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz59LEhcLR1
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniOb6aCAgq
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkO2CG7Owp
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f8xhncTLD
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgfOSa0f17
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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3wPz492xL
"So basically, just going on dates?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlZso9VYEZ
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpPdv22aqi
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5otlCEkr1
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTunNGKQeSp
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22WkPvn2Dc
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJbNhbDE5T
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpkUhohm9O
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mq1p5Ii7y
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi76xPJdeU
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHHCACsQb5
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9969bZGPVh
"I will never give up." He booped him.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSIY063JJg
He booped Al. "Me neither."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCJ0TxMPym
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBNkM57M6O
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRLv4CzHzl
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSpxvkYdnc
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
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8dagzBRtI
boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ8SWbzPN9
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAvl6wuzG5
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEJbgYRXOh
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJa7egsaPu
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS22ZHshBXq
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi354otiJB
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7HwzN1YGZ
"I said, you are annoying."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG18cVoX1U
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOGiHRInoa
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPL3H3U2t5
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2p30WdCl4
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H8AxPKYtk
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf99kh4njx
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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tW0NCmIoN
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mO96hPpC
"With someone like you that makes sense."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHDcoFQBrb
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEetSpw7LM
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWR9O8GhFG
"Oh. That was fast."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljhuFbeCKD
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeJ5veJdwk
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvIr2LSqGN
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXlhCHRDmr
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG6ydmKv5a
"You should use them as paper weights."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNYr3BINqG
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqx32uMuHl
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPWeNwAvbV
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvQr6x4UIU
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P3ZiwN7E5
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T9AL8xgvP
"Maybe I could teach you."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4klHw5X0u
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKK9rmGd5H
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfOYsvjanG
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfXml9wobF
"Now you get it!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjPr0L60T5
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGenZEcDXy
"Why not?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3td4t7qzTC
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWjYJN7FS
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM5dPMb4L4
(Scene change to the lobby)
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38E8z0itPw
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xVobmitoK
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUUuDGzUsZ
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr1CYihYqY
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ICR47GrnS
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ75iEqF1W
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgtjbaqgL9
"Good." He responded.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGEHklkGUI
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fGIguGhgP
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBJ5HbYejR
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlK8nPn9Li
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhRnWg7Tnr
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo7Dv6xlK8
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8YdT0JpB0
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6y96LJbNh
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkiAVG0nVI
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOQqQlx857
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRbxU2H6J5
"No." Husk said.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAnVzWGe82
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bMzIMuYnr
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0l7lp3P3x
"Problem solved."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGfJ41LGT8
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OP2J6A7QK
"Because skill comes with height"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Ydlmbq8n
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL83bOWwTfu
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA6N5sXQs6
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LDenXBHfp
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA14fgbXmL
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYzj9vBBov
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqqSVDmzBW
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iLIq5CHxZ
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7R78Y6hAI
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCv45q5bi1
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNS1MtRp5O
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ0OFtrYmp
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdPzCmW6w8
"You said it Husker."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgKev5O6Pv
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphryIfu33h
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0GcO96x5b
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGjnP2dzD4
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAiqRvfjXm
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji54bC7jK5
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaunmzCupxA
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wDJ0DHBPu
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ3gbcdXqd
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mqqPqDYgp
"That's not enough to get high."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKB2PeQ5gQ
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWVoPYeqI6
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31rDQO64mQ
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
