[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.

That or... well. You and the rest of your lot have all fallen victim to the biggest scam imaginable. But, trying to convince someone that religion is pointless when they've decided it isn't is equally pointless.

[ragnarsson]

So you claim your god is real but the rest are fictional? Sounds a bit hypocritical to me.

[But he is enjoying this debate quite a bit.]

[hellicious]

You don't listen that well, do you? One too many knocks on that rockhead of yours, perhaps. He's real in my world. In my reality, Dad and the rest of my siblings are the only celestial presences in existence. I've met a few other deities here. Norse, by the by. One of yours. But he's from another reality -- one in which me and mine might not exist. I've no know of the way of it in yours, blood-drinker.

But one has to find it a little odd that real or not, most realms seem to have the same pantheons, mm?

[ragnarsson]

I listen just fine, Devil. If I didn't, I would have tuned you out about five minutes ago.

Stands to reason there would be some consistents no matter where you go in any world. Otherwise I'd have run into someone for whom the sky is green.

[hellicious]

Perhaps there are a few of those here. There's certainly nonhumans dancing around as well, along with interesting aliens. Their worlds may be green. Or purple. Not to mention hell dimensions -- or other places that are that similar, but not so much. Though, then you have to wonder if Dad's in all of them or not. If not, who big banged everything into being?

[ragnarsson]

I don't know about your world, but mine was formed from the body of a dead jotnar slain in a battle with the gods. Also there was a cow licking the first people out of the ice involved.

[Norse religious stories may not have always made sense, but they certainly weren't lacking in interesting details.]

[hellicious]

... No.

[That's not how this works, Ivar. That's not how any of this works. Gosh.]

First there was Mum and Dad, then there was the big bang, then there was us and your little planet. And that had nothing to do with battles or cow licking.

[ragnarsson]

Mmmmm, nope. Don't believe it. After all, weren't you the one saying things might not be the same in one world as the other?

[He rejects your reality and substitutes it with his own.]

[hellicious]

Yes, well, I'll take a world with something close to logic instead of dead gods and licking cows. That's almost as ridiculous as it being on the back of a giant turtle.

[ragnarsson]

Who's to say it isn't? It's no more ridiculous than some old man deciding to create the world in seven days because he got bored with a big black nothing.

[Some call the Norse stories ridiculous. Ivar calls it the truth.]

[hellicious]

Dad isn't a man. Just as Mum isn't a woman. They're... well. Celestial entities of light and... look, it doesn't matter. That's how it came to be in my world, and if yours is about cows pulling out human maggots from a dead body, I think I'll stick with mine, thank you.

[ragnarsson]

Good. It appears we're at a point where we can agree to disagree.

[Which is just a more polite way of saying he still thought he was right and Lucifer was wrong, but still.]

[hellicious]

Right, well, if that's all, then? Lovely as this conversation isn't, I've other things I'd rather do.

[ragnarsson]

By all means, don't let me keep you from them.

[And with that, he hangs up. Interesting man. Or devil. Whatever he is, it's not often the Viking gets to discuss religion with a entity from a completely different pantheon.]
