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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLMaHhcHCf
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrZwq1RWZs
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVaKjNuO1Z
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWYAjbpYjW
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOspqQDh1I
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6BfHZXC3Q
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ai0rMgswH
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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR3weNnUxo
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLTUCZCxRG
"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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOPYpmgGkd
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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblRWA7217N
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw1ywJWjQq
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB1SMfF4j7
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?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcw6Axnr2s
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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOdZXKuhlK
"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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpJrq4Ezgr
"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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXdwMYqqtZ
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uLHKFpGhK
"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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxmNXY4PC9
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWZVSZPrpa
"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?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHLrWcVkX3
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeaGeIvsvj
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkweyw2vI2n
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66lOI2evuy
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawdnduyxCw
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSWyjxTK7
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDBaX9DWkw
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoMR4zZDpb
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfC053gUni
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n3RSuBoR3
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkuNALwBzV
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMFt3WDHhf
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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaiqQHdzjJ
"So basically, just going on dates?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSVCX48Bnj
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAeozBeGsg
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDPUEO9neW
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidbnc9sq3e
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd1gbT904Q
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE2SkppX8S
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k1SpAAjOP
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79SzQzkuiL
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J8UZDIZRH
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCrGPkcbNc
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoYIRBuZy1
"I will never give up." He booped him.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfCxO31A6a
He booped Al. "Me neither."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC719GqC1CL
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO0T7lK6I2
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVYKiZUMQy
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DRNPxK4iB
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEaEA6e8n0
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MnHseox86
"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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3PIKVyj3
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsKHDx56iT
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0MVlzKDIk
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyiLkObT0y
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qEG8Ucuj7
"I said, you are annoying."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mukNdnNjq
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr11XPYmgws
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB51kZJDlB
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVf28CBfTy
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDPn0JCsGd
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhfyPJUVNx
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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxI5hWxyG7
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pMHMbxv6N
"With someone like you that makes sense."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfF7Q5h3ox
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bIa1vqfpi
"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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RlsVyiQOg
"Oh. That was fast."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxdRkWz9BL
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xrE8clNN6
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1swV2UEGPq
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVgyICmReL
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1uFNL4KV3
"You should use them as paper weights."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp10TJgS9c
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S6CUq6m9P
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdfsTmI1U5
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeAOpWDTDX
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGyhkyOKHe
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKu3qGeUSD
"Maybe I could teach you."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtAffUXZ7U
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS99HVrGI9
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBCzb29xba
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuXv2n5Jvm
"Now you get it!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mLKz5GuZs
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP6xAlLg1j
"Why not?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESvxTi9OVE
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmftDcpaLw
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB09kVX8Yca
(Scene change to the lobby)
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5PgUjgRLy
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DXT2OWBMF
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdaycRQVnA
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0YXR1tRUb
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57LRiJQ0o0
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogONmCOR5U
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwpHantXnh
"Good." He responded.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ482cgR0BvE
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd9ZKjspaJ
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JkYxjayuC
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBldy6H5fi
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNTcW7PDtF
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ63W7YGLG
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz4SM6w9Ap
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt89WXZxVPf
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X1F2pH7kW
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6jUTTim9Q
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzVf8vf7Bn
"No." Husk said.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrFzvhy8sh
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Snxtc3Tb
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuGOW2Tc7g
"Problem solved."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnguHPrOeh6
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcL7MEB5Fw
"Because skill comes with height"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdBRT7y3z6
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvsEE5jlV
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSFwqYfJzQ
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMjuDgO939
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWXK2Mj9Ac
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoydQPuQpH
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexdKwrHKbo
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtZmkTM3ZL
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPR3ntOw9t
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp9sNevgxB
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflB3pN8Gky
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg5LBbhhf5
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUksI6FtdYP
"You said it Husker."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzShv3rvwo
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG6ZdINaCD
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdZNCgDarn
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGH3keup05
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfHgIo9hpB
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB1FUrSuyZ
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWmZZabVSZ
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0MJk9P0FC
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6302hPw5j
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5qJTjq1Wl
"That's not enough to get high."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vfRYfNVL
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQmVw80m3j
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnlUWQn7VO
