**BREAKING NEWS: The Underworld Signs Record-Breaking Coal Contract Ahead of High-Profile Arrival**

HELL – In an unprecedented economic move, Lucifer Morningstar, commonly known as the Devil, announced the signing of a massive raw coal contract today. Sources from the Underworld Press Office stated that the coal is critically needed to stoke Hell’s furnaces in anticipation of an upcoming high-profile arrival, identified cryptically in the contract only by the initials "D.J.T."

Hell's procurement office, which traditionally relies on a stable supply of brimstone and renewable sources of eternal fire, cited extraordinary circumstances requiring supplemental energy. "We simply weren't prepared for this magnitude of sin-based processing," said an anonymous demonic official. "The sheer volume of punishment required in this case is unlike anything we've seen before."

Experts speculate the initials "D.J.T." refer to a notable earthly figure whose tenure was marked by controversy, legal battles, and heated public debate. "We anticipate the fires will need significant ramping up to handle such a backlog of unresolved punishment," said Chief Tormentor Azazel. "Coal, though antiquated by earthly standards, offers a swift and reliable infernal combustion that will help us catch up quickly."

Environmental advocates from various afterlife realms have expressed alarm, citing concerns about increased pollution in the metaphysical atmosphere. However, Hell’s administration insisted they would strictly adhere to infernal guidelines, noting "Hell's commitment to ethical eternal punishment remains unmatched."

As this unprecedented move unfolds, analysts predict the arrival labeled "D.J.T." could set historical records for coal consumption in the afterlife. More details are expected in the coming eternity.
