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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0tyrMc5V8
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IEV9uVYZK
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasRDzXY0cq
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUGveREw6f
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPosPzOzyTW
"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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31NpNeBNGm
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2F7w2hFGZ
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BX4skK3gj
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1RAIw3S9b
"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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN4eegbwZR
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqWdf3Y6eD
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC5kk4YSxP
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv00GI8Vgri
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?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMCR1p4WvV
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOd35exqBo
"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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cfe2RvuWo
"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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnf9W6kSmk
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwmOtoagnu
"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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2NYY4PzZM
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMYUGuMzI3
"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?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuXJAY2EMu
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bp9jzrcOV
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN4dsEfbwd
"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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMCfKQCQwR
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxtLDFQ21m
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKhT1q3uoT
"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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazfDvQxvdZ
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1cAoXg3zU
"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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrogW4HKD1
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZbbGbasJ
"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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gSznMa67d
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH5htBb1CS
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XZHPhTX9I
"So basically, just going on dates?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8IJC2VKO
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdHNaz9Ta
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5M70vqdII
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKulORqEhsA
"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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtkjEeHSzh
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrxeAWXzIY
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzWLf2swSy
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlWFdl7Qat
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItrxC4FsES
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B9Id4FXQt
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagKJZvA8Gc
"I will never give up." He booped him.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W4ZuvIWZv
He booped Al. "Me neither."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiHZMsZHCb
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiv5w4eAE2
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucIZKgQ1z7
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd8068L45I
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
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsuLkSsrdd
boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSksqjGHMJo
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwht921FAI
"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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWULSXlx7e
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoORyh3TG8
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGxbB4k29Q
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPqDA4E5ly
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR7eHOYUyM
"I said, you are annoying."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1kiNLegSQ
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxag75a3H79
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x8qvu6RCS
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDM4sJfr5a
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uwujpcjqE
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyo6nYNgGT
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxkZ22vMG4
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthPjMnIeeg
"With someone like you that makes sense."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9waZdvVi7l
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5r1kBRxXV
"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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU1bUD4iyu
"Oh. That was fast."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAFbTMF9Xo
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKMfLrUDkp
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxNo41AFwF
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUClSXkuJeH
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD7iaHDX8F
"You should use them as paper weights."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi6T9n2yRk
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqZkN5FfhE
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4NXqDyd8l
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN96cDTAt8
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkEb2gUZ51
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTlxOXIpMK
"Maybe I could teach you."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtPqdYMXXS
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXjkt08WfR
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpz8dVItaW
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeTp7v5eks
"Now you get it!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBQ1IyGxyW
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe2yeWMlfU
"Why not?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFqzFkqpRw
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMQMaiIPSA
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvxEDt0Re6
(Scene change to the lobby)
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZIWyOrEMZ
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHHBCOTIK8
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr0C4H3pf7
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp0JETZgy8
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvpaCD2xPs
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjq6iJEOUy
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMMTG0oHkG
"Good." He responded.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwAqKMCdaC
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdnwWf7hr8
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy7XbZB1VQ
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5hsTX7g6
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSkjkbkR0Q
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpxkssDcOi
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47nrMITUZb
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSBST7L3Gu
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hLeeLVAAo
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiw5OsXDup
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGxqdqycrw
"No." Husk said.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1SZvmXXD0
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Ht4ys4w8
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx14OCB4Bl
"Problem solved."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAjj1zM7Xa
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3EvUg3ipt
"Because skill comes with height"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvEfFXYdyo
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJur4dzRcG2
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ksTOcNAZ7
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypGDNXl7L9
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfoabhPXIh
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n6IPnzqLs
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKwygwoWse
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv36Tm9LXz
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn9tW5vPuK
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q45cszEmX
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZuFRt0xEG
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy5X7wcgT7
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MfUs728nD
"You said it Husker."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lHMQqUwpS
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQ5mpKc56
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt27DepVaMT
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajo1pYSd1k
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWV51HJCCX
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NTMJMEBoB
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGyx3vASEJ
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUmqQnf2wY
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTVYMXpeqe
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZd3I4nbhO
"That's not enough to get high."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRol7MHC5u
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RPuscFut1
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIGRI3S1OL
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
