[It might be fitting that Lucifer's first foray into the network of the new world he'd found himself on was an inquiry for trying to fix something he'd mucked up. It might well give a good glimpse into the fact that Lucifer didn't see too much outside of what affected him and those he cared about. This fell under that umbrella.

For those watching, they'll see an adult male with a charming British accent and dark hair and eyes, smiling at the screen in an attempt to cover just how important the question was to him.]

What would be a good gift idea for someone that says something along the lines of 'Sorry I broke you'? I'm not entirely sure chocolates will cut it.

[A moment and then he realizes how that may be construed.]

Not physically broke, mind you. More... theologically and mentally.

[ Tapping his chin because this is clearly an important topic and he hopes he looks concerned enough. ]

... Breakfast.

[hellicious]

[Save him from serious trickster gods.]

Tried that one once. Didn't quite work out as planned.

[ikols]

But what better way to say, 'Sorry I screwed up your yesterday, I'm starting off your today the best way I can'? I would venture to say the recipient was ungrateful, especially if bacon was involved.

[hellicious]

Bacon was involved.

[See? He knew he hadn't done anything wrong in that instance.]

But still, I don't quite think that has the same... message I'm trying to relay this time.

[ikols]

Damn.

[ So few options left! ]

Flowers? A dinner for two? Money? Er, what do they like?

[hellicious]

It's a little difficult to go into specifics without, well, being specific. But suffice to say, I don't think any of those will do the trick. This... person is a bit more substantial. Less superficial. Which, I suppose, is both a blessing and a curse.

[He had a feeling this helpful soul was a bit more like himself in ways.]

[ikols]

[ Verity. Cheap pink-dyed hair and earnest hazel eyes, folded arms in a well-worn duffel coat. I know our friendship is probably poisonous in all sorts of ways... ]

Then, an apology alone ought to be enough.

[hellicious]

You'd think. But still... It's a bit much for h-- this person to handle.

[Hello, atheist. By the by, God's real and I'm the Devil. Hi.]

[ikols]

You said this person was substantial. What person of substance doesn't accept an apology? It's the sentiment that ultimately counts, however big the thing you're apologising for.

[hellicious]

Fair question. Let me ask you something to clarify, then. If you found out someone you were close to was the Devil and that all that biblical nonsense existed, how long would you take to accept an apology from said Devil?

[ikols]

Depends. Which devil? How close would they stand to the Chair?

[hellicious]

... The Devil. Just one. Why do people always think there are some princes of Hell? It's just me.

[ikols]

Cool, I'll tell Hela that, she'll love that memo. Which name do you go by predominantly, Mister Devil? I'm inferring you're from a monotheistic branch, yes?

[hellicious]

Lucifer Morningstar. Hela, Hela... what, the Norse Hela? She's not real.

...

Is she? Oh, bloody hell. Other realities, yes, right. Mm. That's interesting. I might have had fun with more than demons as cohorts.

[ikols]

Ah, thank Ymir's frosty balls! I thought you might be Mephisto, I am totally not in the mood to be around that guy. Ultimate satan, more like ultimate noob. [ Fuck that guy and not in a fun way. ] Hello, Luci, as my username states I'm Loki. God of Mischief, Norse flavour.

So! Back to your problem?

[hellicious]

[The blase introduction was actually something Lucifer could understand, from one deity to another. Albeit he was still ridiculously older, but age became just a number after the first billion years.]

Loki, mm? I met another one of you. Much more... well. Anal sounds insulting, but I expect to see him waiting in line to have that stick removed. As to my problem, yes. I think I broke my favorite human.

[ikols]

Yeah, he's the baby from an alternate universe in our shared multiverse. [ Never mind the fact his twin looks older, he's only on his first life. Tiny cinder, not yet a bonfire. ] Your mortal pal doesn't know you're you?

[hellicious]

Well, they do now. Therein lies the problem.

[ikols]

Did you do something to harm them or their feelings?

[hellicious]

... It's a bit of a long story. One I'm not so inclined to share on a public network, if you get my drift.

• private

[ikols]

[ Pausing to implement an intricate firewall that will give, at least, the Starks a headache to unravel, he continues. ]

I'm only locking this with my personal coding because you're cute. Feel like sharing now? Could you summarise this long story, if nothing else?

[hellicious]

[Ooh. He liked that. And Loki even gets a wink before Lucifer sighs.]

Summation? Got bored of Hell, came to LA, was having a good old time before running into a lovely, amazing, competent, intelligent woman who happens to be a homicide detective. She's immune to my charms, which makes sense when we found out she's actually my Dad's doing and my brother helped make her the miracle she is. I told her all along who I was, but humans are very, very good at ignoring what they don't want to see. Now I've proved it and she's...

Well. She's taking 'time'. There's other things in there to muck it all up, but long story short is that she's finally come to know that The Devil's real and I'm... not entirely sure she's taking it well.

[ikols]

[ Can't believe he just whined to Angela about missing Verity and now he has to hear another wayward godling complaining about missing his own human. This is so cruelly ironic ... but it does help him understand the state of the situation a lot better than most, he supposes. ]

She'll get over it if she likes you enough. My mortal did, mostly.

[hellicious]

Oh? You've one of your own?

[That made things a bit more interesting.]

They get under your skin, don't they?

[ikols]

I didn't mind that part. [ And suspects Lucifer doesn't much, either. ] Maybe my mortal is just better than yours.

[ Sending that cheeky wink back. ]
