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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJV3qOgwV9
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCK3ETuBBu
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR2Y2hDPRB
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFKZ9mT6rb
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp0HYeWG2f
"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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIfwbWh2Mn
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfLidCpYsN
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2pwyKSf3A
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavBKUgYQGs
"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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPsEV6QiJh
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu6RgDwnV0
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhIAFhnmBD
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7h3bASdvR
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?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDM7lxgJUT
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPXkOP33xW
"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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6BdpSe8Wt
"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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYpr31CXEq
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYork1DuZT
"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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49E4SpIuss
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXIBzMDHfc
"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?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj6sfXwqNL
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYt3thbAQM
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhfqbg5gw7
"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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALKCRCsHKR
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtfyKWWjdF
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPDgwZghMq
"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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci722OlOM6
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSltQDhUNKr
"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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhvYa9Hcy2
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwGRDFnt00
"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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ3jsqkQOu
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLXCoBZevN
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OKraOUGU3
"So basically, just going on dates?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALCubrtpT5
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wsDCDeB5f
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25NS0t33hE
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJTHf9wrM
"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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk3y6QpvPm
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7kQwoeq9B
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1skSCzn52
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9RI27LB2X
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o0XrVvuKg
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LDrmZUTWp
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbatWarsXb
"I will never give up." He booped him.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qILhnHd8b
He booped Al. "Me neither."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9FTou6zYs
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhhu9FDJ7I
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFitVmdsZvr
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1MntWja62
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTUs0wCZPe
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4M0GcBXu1
"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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS5W6yHAfA
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuSEELzIG3
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCnsj6CDyQ
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoFxMC1el9
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58pifCzK4X
"I said, you are annoying."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa259F8UkS
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt3KEOkzE4
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5PxrBblqo
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yDdVAxuhe
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqtd0DJuDM
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlnKeWQgic
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRoXf5pZAm
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1qgLy7D5z
"With someone like you that makes sense."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaUs8XdXjw
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlA75eZbQ1
"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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStGY1loSFH
"Oh. That was fast."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmejTVbbyQ
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCrs0rd0Ti
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBlIiDdRYI
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lUDeWqZHA
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP8Lxj2S7u
"You should use them as paper weights."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH82ncVjFTy
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIyItr8wa3
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhogNoSQyvh
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVLNxb14yZ
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ymfLnySN
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcSXTvQ4Kx
"Maybe I could teach you."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9juFGotJ7X
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1qwX5qD7P
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56SxcsplLQ
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqruR06jLNn
"Now you get it!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiz1XnucKr
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsldSWEJkBL
"Why not?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHw7SvidyA
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg0aTto9yi
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l2VTCCyAo
(Scene change to the lobby)
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2LN1JZNC5
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURNELagb2S
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFwvhrAg7O
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOteGspM6x
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVq7ip3Yyz
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9jAE800rM
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVLEp2gba0
"Good." He responded.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8tMw3xC0S
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjdOkHb8KD
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxsRLcW2IK
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DQkaOGwmu
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1CYwQiem6
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjTic2L45J
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeH8h3z2Pz
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctEFIJf9T2
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD98kNnZTAb
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc393lwWPqG
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F6ssY2uvT
"No." Husk said.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSeLTQSGkQ
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIK3jebe37
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTUiaWcveC
"Problem solved."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DER0j2jSq
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJmzPIHrv5
"Because skill comes with height"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5kQrLvd8C
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSoV9ZiYWH
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtXNrCtSHc
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDVCfNeCeq
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S4ybofprr
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK6XGpoNB1
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLY6xzaYPy
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsskUi725K
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE6PEnIWp6
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB8UJZz0J4
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNT9oNUEq0
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fp15IK8UP
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXmfvrxxmr
"You said it Husker."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U4f0LqKqt
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJb9yRUnnn
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ9uIgxv45
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROllVMQIXK
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZcUDmBiW5
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Elm3Rq2j
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuunaTg269L
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSsPUhaeSB
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerVCB8BIwo
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscKzgX6vWZ
"That's not enough to get high."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi3xvhwest
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluPzeH3S5E

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUrfdHLUSn
