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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCAp0IoR9L
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt1g1lHsei
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptxQcHNrF4
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkHWuAmB73
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM5UUNNQYr
"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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfhJ6aiVfl
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpx7jgqXs1
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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAZGVXQgCp
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfFAp5AjkV
"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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMAd4sESKW
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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2b15SyijT
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LXcwz0f5g
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeH8k5TmFA
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?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXT47u1dRo
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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9teGC4ewCj
"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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIKoyHgWbi
"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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXcFoxqs0r
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9AFHLT3EN
"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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC7P6JXSoF
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHH5hQX66F
"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?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWfFeuL4ip
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1hmVRVoD5
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zjSyVhL8a
"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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1YliA02s6
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGlntjqbkM
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ac8qEPIU
(No GPT used past this point)
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR85HE1WUF6
"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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEoJjMLNYF
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5MKmGf6Ch
"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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWi797IPQU
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiosQHc2oD
"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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ6rBxVlqM
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQoF6yJitR
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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD3Q8YqSbu
"So basically, just going on dates?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy68GlHMfk
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lG4vMuJAV
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65P4RVEqNj
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4CXzQMYqO
"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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTle2rlQo0
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqSXARAfuo
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd2K7KfbZN
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Zk2pHv36
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U75CXIqSG
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYGiULnoUz
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mrAKM5plQ
"I will never give up." He booped him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsNc5ym60r
He booped Al. "Me neither."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hYbWZ7weK
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcffzBq5tHS
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgcpgFFrzP
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufkcYMHNrG
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
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwkBWYOK6e
boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiskFutqNV
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jAVuMpkNG
"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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfnmuf0qBT
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRgL9bEwX9
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPahYmqcUl
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51cVANF3Yd
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa4Ag9M81M
"I said, you are annoying."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9sbJNC9Mz
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fISyFzVMD
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhsFPB9iBn
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9LJ0lxmdH
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVV3MHpKgc
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUAqMs8Hdp
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."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh6F9zU9AP
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANPelbWsN1
"With someone like you that makes sense."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO7WtEz0RQ
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MpWFZQJXV
"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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAPVpZ5xJR
"Oh. That was fast."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUNoA2u6ld
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRvP0I1Kzd
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TafcCpaKz
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2235HSZJC
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYmjwUPLVH
"You should use them as paper weights."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw8bM5WRaj
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73deyJ6wbs
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70cHwi4l31
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPCPFpWAbY
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi56LAshuix
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrMRnaeQUG
"Maybe I could teach you."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK275otzw2
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Byu1qy6m
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z10BA38cF
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG9BsiQ2nB
"Now you get it!"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZXsWMJvf6
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohFyEOO4gk
"Why not?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oUyvdxgCR
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUanhrDDz4
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN6UsJInFZ
(Scene change to the lobby)
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehEie9nirQ
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOz50tQJ8q
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCHTIGXfVa
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zLEb3XGmx
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LVBqdXqwe
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tgvItkQRh
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TXAYrfFW
"Good." He responded.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlFGiYGQou
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Yk3V5lGz
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmuAdN92Vn
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ndcU2nvld
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R8knesO7f
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL3cmweVmu
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtjmlW9bKr
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZUR3v2hQU
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZNVRmU9bK
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DS3IpAiDs
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD7dQsdH9f
"No." Husk said.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Fl1gb3ef
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A8mxmOgaX
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Zn7cW1sF
"Problem solved."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgJDtS1yEz
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn4F8mMWFs
"Because skill comes with height"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztp5UXQ0Rl
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BTNEcUfwy
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG6qSsWQWz
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjDHbE5JY6
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUyfY0O2Z
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFSXzT9NjC
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelRmxCLDNc
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsPEJAlOiW
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqTkCIKAYM
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwNZ7XyFn9
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Cms3mmMZ
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ShSXvpHaf
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADZocmH6uI
"You said it Husker."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzCV5zt7CH
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUHgMOTS5a
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTACj3eq7VP
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUNKRqvTVs
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NTJqBZqIv
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1U1vOmpZe
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvJ7Gn1eyu
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTFeWVxu7R
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm0Tndx6lA
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8qkxDJPOn
"That's not enough to get high."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QsIzMRxF2
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14nJJzIjou
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabdUfYxvBJ
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
