[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.

A pound of flesh might do.

[ Can you hear how dry his tone is, Lucifer? That should tell you a lot. ]

Though I'm pretty sure there isn't a gift that can really make up for that sort of thing.

[Yes, Stephen, he can hear that. You're not very subtle.]

Tried that. Don't really think that's the type of thing sh-- this person would want. I'd rather not hear 'time' as an answer, but...

[Can Stephen hear the sigh? The world weariness in that soft breath?]

I think that might be all I can give that they'll accept.

[potentialed]

[ He tends to reserve that for people that haven't done what Lucifer is alluding to. ]

That and distance. Space. Forgiveness isn't really something you can push and it's not something you're entitled to, either.

[ And yes, he's speaking from experience in this. Probably isn't very subtle in that regard, either. ]

[hellicious]

Forgiveness? I don't need... well. Yes, I suppose. I mean, it's not as if I wasn't honest. It's just a little... difficult when someone doesn't believe it. Or can't really. Not that I expect anyone to. Not without proof.

[Another sigh.]

Never without the bloody proof.

[ 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.

You didn't break anything.

I beg to differ.

You should know by now I'm not some fragile little flower, Lucifer.

I'm fine. Really.

A fruit basket and a get well card, maybe.

[hellicious]

Don't think that quite fixes finding out that everything you know is a lie.

[deceitful]

It opens up dialogue. Either they'll hate it so much they demand something else in way of reparation, or accept it.

What will you do if they don't want your apology?

[sixtyeighth]

Hah. You can't fix it all with gifts.

[hellicious]

Doesn't hurt to try.

[sixtyeighth]

What a wasted effort. The only thing that makes up for it is the ability to return the favor.

[buildingcastles]

It depends on the person, but if you're breaking people theologically, maybe pie? Or a cake. A really big cake.

[hellicious]

Very good ideas. What kind of pie says 'Yes I'm the Devil, don't worry, I've no interest in sending you to hell, please still be my partner'?

[buildingcastles]

Uh.

[Wow, that's a painfully specific need, isn't it? Christian sucks in his lips before finding an answer.]

French Silk? That's sweet and disarming.

I always had good luck with alcohol in that situation, assuming no one ran away screaming before we could get to the 'sorry everything you knew was a lie' part of the conversation.

[hellicious]

That's generally my go-to, but I'm afraid that won't solve this particular situation. At least, not with this particular individual. They don't seem to partake often.

[suckstobestrange]

Ah. That definitely makes things a bit harder. Unfortunately in that case, unless you know something that they really, really like, you'll have to give them time.

[Which sucks because guess who never has time to give people time? This disaster right here.]

[ragnarsson]

Get them something rare and/or irreplaceable. Always helps take the mind off troubling thoughts and shows that you actually care about them.

[For someone who only cares about as many people as he has fingers, and despite only being sixteen, Ivar also has a surprisingly good insight for what makes people tick.]

[hellicious]

Hmm...

[It was a good idea, but he didn't seem to have the same resources here as he did at home. The only thing rare or irreplaceable he had on him at the moment was a certain DVD that he doubted the object of his affections would care to see again.]

You make a fair point. I'll have to look into that.

[ragnarsson]

[He did have good ideas. It came from a lifetime of observing people when he was unable to actively participate in most things.]

So what'd you do that was so horrible?

[If Lucifer says it's none of his business or some other bland, boring answer, he'll be thoroughly disappointed.]
