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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3780OHzUuQ
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVlCGzswFz
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP56m8f6rJ
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKDUdsiVBt
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfG4j0foct
"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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ukfI9tei
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeCjlcVcB2
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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2bbJctcKM
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYq89oalhd
"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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDDWewEgEo
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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLZIXMROWw
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwt8z4L0k3
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgD099lObb
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?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UNFaoK5EB
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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEyvRs02VZ
"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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Y93ID7Z6
"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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3FFZvkcoi
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCVkwbkCu6
"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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWDOd6blfX
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtsKChnvGP
"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?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRERNOYiUWW
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UsZZkT9rc
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2yCV5crfd
"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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9CKRAD2Ue
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg7TI0x6Yq
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00qfbE8ya4
"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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4TnpCyr0L
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfe8fFZIZS
"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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BImVcnOdy
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJDRH2BNRY
"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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy40TirJWvj
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ495EVScuRh
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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwLw9yGuVS
"So basically, just going on dates?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8FXe93OzA
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHxCnvAykc
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFuq40rOh0
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5hFNrF4q5
"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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ2uebN3dA
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3m8GmsXjZ
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xU0LXR7kx
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s1NmvvgD4
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz3jXFQuMa
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGesQ25Nx7E
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd2enoPNpS
"I will never give up." He booped him.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYpTbFcUZM
He booped Al. "Me neither."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0sBaZeFJA
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6DyhAqNto
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH8mgFaGFo
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHYW3IA2QI
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHZdW7TcQi
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv28z9yANs4
"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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgql5Sw2AG
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7pHd33tYo
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvhcosu0R2
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwpXpV393o
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IIG6XUdI8
"I said, you are annoying."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBERHNOrR27
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9v2r0oZH3
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvxVsd050X
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDpL2gJfMd
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGpI4Z0k0b
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAhujXVR03
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."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3oZMo5B4U
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAIHA7JwRc
"With someone like you that makes sense."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU4z8JXt7O
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMNRxnnlr1
"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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4aQNunkoC
"Oh. That was fast."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFibitQ6ES
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuvo0ursBw
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBrQnTFyGz
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6bLX01COe
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gY6BAOWJc
"You should use them as paper weights."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLZuQ3LWkg
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmkzUmDGM5
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pcfuYxhgf
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Mm8Pdd6e
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnWbEMq6Dc
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH3EB2EDgd
"Maybe I could teach you."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykCHPRwjNM
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8FILrrLW1
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33jf4gL0oG
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqZ9FSEzDz
"Now you get it!"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSuckIx2AY
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwab7UNVM1
"Why not?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRp3yffvII
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimW4qbcfh0
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."

(Scene change to the lobby)
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCixgX8GPmR
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggz5fFLEUr
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSdiUq9wD0
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy5D2YTgcQ
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlteDpTG8f7
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrezCVUnXaM
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0237MH1LD7
"Good." He responded.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4CzzURElL
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfmqLSYvTl
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNFB7ni9E0
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwGrsKsIQ4
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO4WgWjYel
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYYWC5vTBa
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t1IsyrG6z
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeB8JyBCQd
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKir9TEAcR
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCesdDOfAdj
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVSdrNlpc7
"No." Husk said.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kne89FnhJ
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmQFlCVrB
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w0j1cWHBn
"Problem solved."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeFNB9zZQb
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNEn4kPAMs
"Because skill comes with height"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nx8zpyqoH
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloykY2diLf
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zBVnZ8DbC
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddgnV6jnXP
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAX4Ob9Cog
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT7ManfkQU
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcvC7VaMCX
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IXKWeMvJv
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSJ57a6FWJ
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmWz3EWTvZ
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMekQAfzJb
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTWAyFQvjm
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTZq9P0PDC
"You said it Husker."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPiT3usHtF
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m9k41H5Rt
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH72YgixPYc
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6L2bhrYBS
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj5kRYWyvl
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiKLw4VJYw
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ffRm09AhE
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDOEfU58D
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVtY0XjHUz
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF25BTGeJ4
"That's not enough to get high."
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbDm7jWAg2
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs7dd4o8Yi
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
