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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8dkTHzX6H
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChxSnqtJeu
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1116RJAdM
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9rnD18SPd
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QgASTMcJ8
"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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGdfn6Nvnv
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfc3AvmSxl
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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9SR2biR0D
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81lZww3Rk0
"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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBSj3FyPJl
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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxjbWSaWZa
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1LnbWNkB1
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnRkI68KFP
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?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKCRS3nEVu
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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo56uajo1m
"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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFpn4SjOZn
"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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPH2beBnvC
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmx82bLQJe
"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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hVLQ3hCdc
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFbFtCmBbs
"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?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAjfTYiIlV
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cCgoi8RZ7
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4f6I1AOjI
"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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m5raqcvgC
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEJGpjXEZW
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

"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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW91mt7aQd
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV4huV9UE9
"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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eqkrhEkdW
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf0C4XzAa8
"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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl961ye7wA6
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGjo72kixo
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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq5OxCRLIL
"So basically, just going on dates?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO5aUqwlFt
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNhHScHqh0
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA9vcTbAb7
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRRLBZGLJI
"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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7zewEcCm7
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPltVaXFlwY
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxeHm1ZVkb
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RxB1qZlDc
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVqozmFazS
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5eL5GDA2z
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuGtBsOnyd
"I will never give up." He booped him.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIskO6YKxLW
He booped Al. "Me neither."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn5Po57tDW
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vj5vuKQkx
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JsPsU4A9c
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1NryG4Y3z

boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEssVzsJFL8
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxmOeUZmcv
"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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRDNewta0z
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt9a60HUa0
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ09i6ikYL
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5hrq9vwXF
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJD0H7Mypd
"I said, you are annoying."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2lyNKEngr
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKGo5Bo7C0
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6v5lir45L
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVtF7e6P2d
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkHiTMrsGA
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2341YdzB4S
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."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODhxEMRehn
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVgtIO3e3X
"With someone like you that makes sense."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuzeXH3zUX
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTEhONoNNh
"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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JhKbc9tF9
"Oh. That was fast."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCuNHfN10B
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvACjtmPZ2J
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm5jrKRU2W
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgIm41H9OP
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtXZ9cyQTI
"You should use them as paper weights."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4djQD4AbAT
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzROfyFD9L
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sze03HSsg
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLN8z8DOXI
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5nO8r7kBV
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE28mUWcYo
"Maybe I could teach you."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEdyUjzYRR
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVmSLTrLoy
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkeW1F10kz
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s3S8ZDVPn
"Now you get it!"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UdKYuLLnm
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxKoe6KNfG
"Why not?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddIqoh3uaQ
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczt4XWYs7O
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."

Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIdpuWL4eF
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM5f34jy0v
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yYWjEysqS
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oeUzaOG0P
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1sn1QB7ip
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnu0TCk4WM
"Good." He responded.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRIeGb8V2n
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVopNitbdmV
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3rpZSzIIX
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPo5sRDhMN
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6nLt7fDfa
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ844CyE98gu
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFhegrg8c5
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCqmQHU7EG
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQP2Md4DPC
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQdWnWzwvB
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL72amPzoaI
"No." Husk said.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCzROZanP2
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU46PSGDkLc
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMERuTf3rX7
"Problem solved."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzQdKVlsH3
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RBRFqG4gD
"Because skill comes with height"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ghnRs4my
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZlc1me86
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRazKnjxsn
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDe1iqlPXN
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoUy6J4v4d
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH7Lv3njGq
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS168u6MLDy
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhJ1vz6J9T
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcjhhYHBe6
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TJOXYBmSx
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq2B3DFe7L
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwmaekmk8Y
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBOxtClYMk
"You said it Husker."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH5ntMFORT
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''

Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FG0xatnk0
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI8kzyAL8O
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeDfcheoZ2
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjRoVOtQwj
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6yX9U5ow5
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU4XF4xEHy
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaTzMTFbsY
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFPcUkXoX4
"That's not enough to get high."
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkh020r213
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTuHTBdjw2
