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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW4QzfoPuV
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX3wRceVPS
A soft knock at the door broke the silence.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw7EwfbVyP
"Who is it?" Alastor asked, his voice thick with fatigue as he tried to smooth his hair, though it didn't do much good.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g8b42ZQeQ
There was an answer, "It's Rosie, dear!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4jsjLtU8u
"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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN3jCA8aXw
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DZbWK9sG3
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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurrMIYNgWr
"How much of last night did you hear about?" Alastor asked, slipping his monocle into place.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZloSSuUkC
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6w1GanHjn
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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPohovtGjYO
Rosie chuckled. "He found you quite endearing, Alastor. It was fine."
Alastor blushed slightly. "That isn't helping."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlEOFNPW8D
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tMmO0agdG
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?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK89gOOiO1Z
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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXaif3NYEi
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRj1gSNPnC
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzgc9Lkl9C
"Great!" Alastor said, and with a snap, the puppet started scribbling away. "Stressing never helps."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMOpATR2pV
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlvfRZVONi
Alastor gave a sly, simp-like smile before quickly glaring. "And how would I do that?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9vvaGYGto
"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?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWtKXZUROT
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYYPiqubIZ
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw06YydfGUb
"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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLF3FKsKMW
"A friend?" Alastor teased. "A friend who confuses you?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l4UMRLzWX
Rosie sighed, looking frustrated. "Yes. A friend who's confusing me about things I don't have time for."

210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP8FrA5xr1
"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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fma6TbtHU
"I know something happened. He looked happier than he has in years. Also, what do you mean by in more than one way?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUG0Axh4ZT
"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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ln7qyIVn9
"I've had..." She mumbled about random things. "About 8 husbands... well, what do you mean by that? Find someone new? Like whom?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgJ28Ft0YY
"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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7AvktSVXa
"Well, what comes to your mind when you think of her?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sxQvx4qJR
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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuahZBusvK
"So basically, just going on dates?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mcoHBGCo7
"Dates? No! ... Oh, wow it really seems like it huh?" She questioned reality.
He smirked. "See? You can't deny it."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc10R986nn
She shrugged. "Oh well, I don't even think she'd consider being any more than good friends."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoNtA4G3EP
"Have you asked her if she's... interested in woman perhaps?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy5uniIIzo
"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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOLQnC858Q
"That'd be a splendid idea! I'll cook some jambalaya!" He looked at Lucifer. "Fine I'll go comfort the king of Hell."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSJRZPhvMw
She kept writing. "Enjoy your time!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6uqOuCHVY
Lucifer was sadly drinking at the bar, all alone. Alastor walked over to the bar. He spoke to Lucifer, "Hello drunken king!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6p7cKwDW
He made an emo face. "Hey Alastor."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJAIZHpEbs
"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" He booped Lucifer.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2IWNhCBOt
Lucifer smiled slightly in return. "You're still trying to win that booping contest?" He booped Alastor back.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCdteLV9Lp
"I will never give up." He booped him.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZuGJbNcRX
He booped Al. "Me neither."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOqaPlLm65
He booped Lucifer. "Hmph..."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhv0Dxa8F6
He booped back. "So, what's up with Rosie?" He sipped a glass of whiskey.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG2S1F8xD6
He booped Lucifer again. "What about her?" He spawned a glass of whiskey for himself.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbDbrbwgo6
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
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kd4j0yotD
boops she may not be as straight as she thought, just hoping she won't get her heart broken chugs the bottle.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogLDR6cr2p
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03beO2Tc7M
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfuomhFyk3
"Of course I am!" She hugged Rosie.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiFchs9ZvB
"Well, I hoped to introduce you to Alastor and Lucifer and show you around the hotel."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLySQHeDAe
"Alright." She did a gay hair flip. "You should show me your room, you have one here, right?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwpbVUOlDc
"Ugh, you all are so annoying." Husk commented, drinking some booze.
Alastor looked at Husk. "What did you say?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c1ywg7x0K
"I said, you are annoying."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTdns41qaj
The two ignored Husk. "Yeah, I have one upstairs." Rosie pointed upstairs. "It's room 666."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB2mDGNUV6
Edina grabbed Rosie's hand. "Come along then show me the way."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQSwewNhox
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vb7eX45Ys
"That just means there's more space." She replied.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6rXhAYemR
Yeah, and less people bugging me about their problems. Mostly because these people aren't my children. *STILL HAVING A MINI GAY ATTACK*
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByTF2Ri7Zh
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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUVsYZiRSi
SHE HAD AN EVEN GAYER ATTACK. "Well, apparently my children are still very reliant on me."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWOFdQRI82
"With someone like you that makes sense."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCE9BI1yKO
They finally got to the room. "Well, here it is."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlmyERtUiF
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9zsxRXjq5
"Oh. That was fast."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1qwu43mzu
"Come on in and give me a room tour!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38bdquagT1
"Well, in my room, I have the collect of the skulls of ex-husbands, my jewelry, and my dresses in the closet."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2oTsUd7gu
"Do you have your ex-husband's skull?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvNbVbYcPn
"All 8 of them! I kept them as trophies in life and they stayed with me through the afterlife."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP6SsvvT9h
"You should use them as paper weights."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BL1FhljcK
"Maybe I already do. Anyways, anything besides this, I have a bathroom and closet."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboJUIPBvjB
"I thought the closet was your room." Gay hand gesture wink wink nudge nudge.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLc6uXF1CF
Rosie didn't get the reference. "Uhm... no? Why would I live in a closet?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf28hqSEDp
Edina face palmed "It's a gay joke."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrElpqOYkFB
"Oh, sorry, I don't really know much about gay references."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW5EkGaPTk
"Maybe I could teach you."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6fkTCaddg
"Yeah, okay! I'd like to learn."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5GSST8FKl
"Alright so if someone is in the closet it means they haven't come out in their sexual orientation or gender identity."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWSvS6Huus
"Ohhhhh, so you were basically calling me gay."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXK2JwangJ
"Now you get it!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrdFAPt9qx
"Ah! Well, I've never really pondered my sexual identity."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzhUaCIj1v
"Why not?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1BfeUhtpM
"I just never bothered to. It's not really something I thought I'd have to do."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcGGaVI9ia
"Well, you have all eternity in Hell to ponder it."

210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bk1J4i95O
Alastor gave Husk a bombastic side eye. "What a prissy kitty today."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIxyFsLuT8
"DON'T CALL ME A KITTY."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ531Z6oVxU7
"And what can you do about the hmm?" He grabbed some whiskey from the bar. "Kitty?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstmQYLUH9k
"I'll kick your ass." He frowned grumpily
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbyyLlp8Ax
A chain appeared. "Really now?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63w22Bdu2u
"I hate you all so much." he responded.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zOZw03C8n
"Good." He responded.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmuuzCIS8W
Lucifer entered the room. "What's going on?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ioS1HbJ5p
"Just teaching someone a little lesson." He tugged on the chain around Husk's neck.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN9xZemIJ4
"Oh... well, I'm going to just..." He snatches a booze bottle.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IlAbUei5x
He grabbed the booze from Lucifer. "You've had enough your shortness."
"Are you gonna leave me alone now or what?" Husk asked.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ZGIAuyAH
He gave him a side-eye then made the chain disappear. "Of course, Husker."
He pouted drunkenly. "Give it baaaack."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcz6bZmrwp
"Not until you sober up you royal alcoholic."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtOSCz8K9w
"I'm too sober right now, give it back."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6xAvRR9oK
"The only alcoholic allowed in this hotel is Husker."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mgf5bGmv
"Yeah!" Husk chimed in.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiivop6x2Q
"Respect your elders and give me the booze!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUj3PoLDGp
"No." Husk said.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIU7AxRU0
"Respect the height difference and no." Alastor refused. He tossed the booze to Husk. "You finish those up."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwJpwYbiwc
"Whatever." He continued drinking booze.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0zVcUShRs
"Problem solved."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVfiGe9sda
"Uuuugh why do you have to be so nice and good at flirting, but then you're rude to me?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKWEjO0pk3
"Because skill comes with height"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xw6Qa0Whb
He went back to mourning over his lost wife. "If only I was taller."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18dCTz2bPs
"Maybe be taller." Husk interjected.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqkUCOup7D
"Maybe be more sober and I'll listen to you." Lucifer replied.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX7HYOoK50
"Maybe I'm too sober for this." Alastor spoke, then pulled out opium.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8SKLilbQE
"PUT THAT SHIT AWAY." Husk yelled.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfen3mMRPTL
"GIVE ME SOME." Lucifer shouted.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bN9JeMkSj
"HELL NO THIS IS MINE." His eyes turned into radio dials.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUd8lVwKBi
"PLEEEEEASE AL."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47uSrlkK07
"IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS SNORT SOME COCAINE."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiPhw4NyB2
Lucifer summoned some cocaine. "Okay."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp91lbdfDyO
Alastor started smoking some opium and stole Lucifer's cocaine.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sTLjjO0sT
''When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down with those lemons.'' Husk added.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQAiYrxdX
"You said it Husker."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1T1tc60M6
''I DON'T NEED YOUR LEMONS, LIFE''
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn82OXQR0Y
Lucifer continued, "I'M TOO DEPRESSED FOR THIS." He stomped up to his room.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvu7tIqJ4M
"YOU'RE TOO SHORT FOR THIS I BELIEVE YOU MEAN."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW6RYBtfwL
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PROBLEMS!"
"I'm too high to care."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxT5kvnbIV
"Hey Alastor, maybe you should get your boyfriend." Husk smirked evilly.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvfTXsXGUB
"If he quit running from me, I would have one already." Alastor was too high on opium to stand.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAJZ46FXa0
Lucifer appeared. "What did you sayyyyy?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpHCARuyM9
Al blew a puff of opium. "Nothing."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sf75BgD9m
Lucifer inhaled the opium puff. "HAHAHAHHAAHAH!!!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81s6NZDGNf
"That's not enough to get high."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95o69EWN2i
"Well, since all you weirdos are here do you know where Angel Dust is?" Husk asked.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyFPFtU8PC
