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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsGDrSjAvY
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEQS7p5Wkv
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ2uixIgAa
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeA0Nkb0hW
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBDoseuLoO
"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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyTXQEbkkY
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AjQwrm17h
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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWLw8SHGgG
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdqK8YR3Wo
"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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwooAn09ohd
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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQv3eKuiIZ
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcnr4jX2NX
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1hLWf91jm
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?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV9AiliDQG
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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcmbWd9owd
"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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgle8pvcHo
"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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxd8Z1SVLP
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMWENbVEM
"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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdePLuKB9FI
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9AXyko4PD
"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?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PNIWhxa4P
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpP5xClwXN
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl5VAQyg8O
"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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrIrmBaVW
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtxo62XaAq
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)
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn5seuHst9
"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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNdIe3FGid
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8sSPTYFDB
"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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGbmnpjMh8
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzpAdkOJ6Z
"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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNcQ7OH3qh
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iZA3zZ1E8
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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV89LPdSyb8
"So basically, just going on dates?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ0ue3WGNM
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVJntH4txB
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiPpWkKvid
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFuwO1aGyn
"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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PA5wAh33m
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLFkurlWXn
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVttWQiWJrd
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NwG4Gr271
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXlHoAn66r
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKFBDWzUf3
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ncLfOLIcz
"I will never give up." He booped him.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1KxRPRG7l
He booped Al. "Me neither."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69gXcF7oky
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm0hGgnIrz
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlZmhG00Wc
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKopsO9e8K
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbysPA3NFSW
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g6TCm98IU
"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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fn10yhLaa
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCm0XhurOP
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBHKSEACGZ
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZQLV2QnE2
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKVQACwp1v
"I said, you are annoying."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSwLxE4ZKz
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDJ2qkM2s0
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc5Ho66PkJ
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGCTfL0fGN
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46q94CtsVU
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtYWdTugBI
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."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJUtIeIrFr
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNVwDtJwru
"With someone like you that makes sense."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQpdrXoqdc
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BdhdL6paV
"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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFnZ1lXnRg
"Oh. That was fast."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs64y8lDqAV
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gne5EMpyM
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6inezSHWj
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeElUXu4CJ
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiduO866LNp
"You should use them as paper weights."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVClZvLReE7
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna5o4OijFQ
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWYT2jFXRP
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySktTq7Hem
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyyj25vZkh
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxXbOcBKCo
"Maybe I could teach you."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g0kxGmJs3
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJCYU3zDdn
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduJvPrLYOV
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTKP7YPmil
"Now you get it!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHH4SUeeVA
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmXguubIKh
"Why not?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL7i1nAf7l
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SawcCdS4c
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LF5zvRQOK
(Scene change to the lobby)
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWFOnJLsP1
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAvgngeWmf
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR5LPqlPjs
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z2Ixv0JRf
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWHzsuzSNM
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3keMEvq3
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTawzigII8
"Good." He responded.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhuWr7OoDx
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcdgyFqJW4
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl8OAh60YV
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrQywQLBUu
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKh9PegW4U
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbiMJuSs0R
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SLY9WfTaV
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3QBUg5eF1
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPF7x59cY0
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC5y5E8FMf
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBk7cxDWFm
"No." Husk said.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9HUHgKeTZ
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRs9r8YM38
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H5oR5HtZ9
"Problem solved."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTZXwhcz85
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkiw0FhlVw
"Because skill comes with height"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG82ORYM28t
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQmMSusVYm
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjMlaUZvVC
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2OtvHbI4l
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNuDcZEefU
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBkxFLncmX
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAnviZjDy2
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif9gdJVgqF
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGwCSfohCf
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKSLj4LHxN
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagcIVySIhc
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYMKOQp6W7
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjvCuIS47b
"You said it Husker."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIojqZDAUD
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNkG9mJEKc
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1AmH90Okv
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvTFB2Pn9g
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS8jFPlRjn
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUuWz4TvTJ
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHdGJYTZpg
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qS9mbIQO0
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hfluUVqPR
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadLguRzHx7
"That's not enough to get high."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa6Pj4mNiT
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ9Uk8ySQi
Alastor answered, "He's with that night butterfly Valentino."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvYZf4aQRC
"Well, good luck with your opium, I'm going back to my duck workshop."
