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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25XVSlkCdS
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90mne9wkKH
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK94aJirpQ
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD2xYeaV3s
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaJmSPkZZ4
"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnOD8ccQXz
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAw1tNUAMu
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH9BPr4bEK
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge8ZQgyKMP
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4inT3c0daS
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Yq3tdxSl
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNnzHtHNqz
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpaVdZbZBt
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?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvqs2Ww24G
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiKA645yU1
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrfItLnS6u
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpVFQ8wQWJ
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D9ijIvcWt
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUTSWp09SZ
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOpU3j4zqJ
"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?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvUkjdxg6A
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPElO0l9vHK
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAaIi45IxF
"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv7Es6yMNl
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv0XmLM4zA
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

(No GPT used past this point)
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoP8Op33UX
"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUJRBYXMyp
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVfTKA9vZ6
"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOnkmiFawK
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rkRCTVGx3
"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDOw1LO9OS
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt4X6oPqOc
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK4elFbG5N
"So basically, just going on dates?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR7SE1RjG9
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRORrxSYjo
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ed4d0DO6D
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECdCVw7u8e
"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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7gnLSqT9F
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g5cxyS6Qt
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lVcxeguhS
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANTI5Zuwjb
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi70ZR55P1R
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8grpp31Rf
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tIzjWDqku
"I will never give up." He booped him.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVdqUQQIVT
He booped Al. "Me neither."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCJlIMIUI9
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNYGQVVTRn
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mpxB7FpSc
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vX3LW05yB
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLljvmhRTwT
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciMzfEyEPt
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUjoxZc11M
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7rc8aRh6r
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yqv2UWSEA
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWx852oLhT
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoaKhdQLPw
"I said, you are annoying."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGohsEugMt
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHFDdtS83D
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R2z8pocvd
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXL9BaL4qs
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i9eEOCtUl
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUIACycPnP
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kt2OsfEGj
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6acAHvBtFd
"With someone like you that makes sense."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ahhXWQDDn
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjm7hBZBNS
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGy0TgNVz1
"Oh. That was fast."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTclVMrgJna
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIltEbjTNzj
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bTrw6DzHj
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJcivBIvn
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxia5oYpQi
"You should use them as paper weights."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOZWKD1H5U
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdzQIfLf1e
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKtYk2ykwK
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui6g4WUroX
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8M0mfza3j
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEVBugxMNb
"Maybe I could teach you."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRqU7cR5i5
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dulFhch3Z
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGNGMU5gFA
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB2XtpAKZl
"Now you get it!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV9gMJSSeB
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4oghXcXYm
"Why not?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB78pdCrFp
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxTzfu5qyJ
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27OsoZsiAo
(Scene change to the lobby)
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUfFaH3wQ7
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUudFVkOLK
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCmofeSPzB
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHZNrhCYvr
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOzHpVKytJ
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCM2EJ3CcE
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8974iMIJeI
"Good." He responded.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0PhMRuOH0
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SL9mthmJp
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra2OyRsVWF
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7MthnCRer
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8yzztR22x
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2nUHdq81c
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciFLD3nZhM
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cFl5hfkd1
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkImKLyWFp
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWByA7VpYpV
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUZ49uRL63
"No." Husk said.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATOvcLJPlr
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYMdpddVt
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi31b1BODO6
"Problem solved."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipv6QDDdyZ
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFk6FTp2jl
"Because skill comes with height"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2PwAiP0h
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCiGC0pai5
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFksXGe6sL
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTiGYsomiq
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQfBhnm7o
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPC5unKNrb
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDALUSQcJp
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRpxweNsk7
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbiGBKE7br
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmjS130Lnm
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrouWU7dyqH
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrTy41liIn
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoZeHk97Ph
"You said it Husker."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ9NvjADAA
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27e4ihlBd5
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHrnVaDa1T
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnlkTybOU7
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ93DPs5sn
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qxPYV8l78
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0V9uGL7Ws
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoQiNlG6Nn
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n8bowAkZv
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5znXGX8OM
"That's not enough to get high."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3TvVW15HG
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzszYJHANbz
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1mZfPWRzi
