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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfyxMKmtd6
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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahJYPB2S3
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxt5u0h9xp
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6qJxoNv9B
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3F5LDsPI5
"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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf10yO8qfLz
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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqTFsX59N5
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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4BWHL9UZK
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnl3lQHcsv
"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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCvgTsNrbr
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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwtqDlskmd
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWeubEsOlU
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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fIzFYkGOw
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?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfalBQj7OaO
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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fw6Tvspzx
"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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FXS3cj2Xt
"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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2GLNFu2Hn
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9WT1zTVds
"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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk6UrX0msn
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjmjYDywzk
"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?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZL73NKiUG
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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurywIWYQFQ
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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ6ZDvzgFg
"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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX0ywmbpqq
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZrjVF0r9
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY5rq6NK9y
"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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeHVKhU82V
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDKljhGMJz
"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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZoBIiDt7z
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHkc63vEBb
"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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbeml8neou
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVdxl5e4Ae
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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNIh84vDJE
"So basically, just going on dates?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJImlGyZS18
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodoYdjnajH
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rZ9dw6MlS
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuvXBB0jco
"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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRSpLk4lVF
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYOPz3yarx
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMFtsoz29e
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIIOeviAk7
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJYhcEtmIz
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWT7icNtHz
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMI47LaG2g
"I will never give up." He booped him.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K0sI6MnwR
He booped Al. "Me neither."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7xzv0h4mw
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJiqHMTzdK
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69csRDJ7Ga
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRNR0kv453
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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHVn2abrOb
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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAS3MfboEM
"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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO067MPWgS
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNu9DIbAi3
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAluK18J3rw
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X03pwKAhL
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XnkMe7r5M
"I said, you are annoying."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFbt00Nrlc
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCIH9exIjt
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxV3GRtewU
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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmCNJQj7nK
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn0eFmk8Wm
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqueb8wAoRl
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."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdPUs0vvE6
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSZSBtcPnH
"With someone like you that makes sense."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJXlQimCji
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlM9XH3XzW
"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.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY09isyqqkw
"Oh. That was fast."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pIC5NUwgX
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiHFVuBlWP
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3FBdpzXXf
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4qkgyz71P
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIOEEVrLjQ
"You should use them as paper weights."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64n79NLRDY
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEfTgNVMKw
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicgN0DxbIj
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4kUYJKydg
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtJOYUEFQD
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQf3rhAocU
"Maybe I could teach you."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImAXXeKTGl
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSI0zRRsoY
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUWtOVx7VC
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pBYqKvUUW
"Now you get it!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc3hXifeIM
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4H9my2IAh
"Why not?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB48jDaXpu
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlAQZWJ8XF
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgBozf9Dwk
(Scene change to the lobby)
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwaLG68o2M
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR1DfO4RAb
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMmUXIE85F
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ6sFTJh5H
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9mF18fEK1
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaOJtiePAU
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsmcTLrA6S
"Good." He responded.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpHHX8iXHG
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueHpyY4GFY
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrk3QstVDz
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hrsWcDg7f
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6NA9qNaHu
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRyL2SSuqT
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan5NyihalJ
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNd7ASErdu
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPaksAHR2r
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7mBO89sNw
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLKLxsKpId
"No." Husk said.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ0f6eqgIz
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWrphErilk
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0NSGRJfm6
"Problem solved."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK66H9MKhka
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCbopJJkOc
"Because skill comes with height"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCcAJkYPF0
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbROMyAbfu
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFwfqdEx3H
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWayoZsHdN
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCb34zENiX
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY6ojHuQEd
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGh9Pc0mO5
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQahg9r3sl
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5WRwbs1je
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1t66tsA7p
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNOIQB6mD1
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BOno1OTV3
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREySqsrYb4
"You said it Husker."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbob7A3ybLi
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzqFlQenmI
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTSU3IMHgj
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOYIplRX7w
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaCTqMZ08C
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97KrjFLtUo
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ90z9Ka4R
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVOpaBKnjx
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpEOvc3xQK
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaUFj8ZZnq
"That's not enough to get high."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgBZKowSNL
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqdJZllcZh
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpND4CRRNZ
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
