[The video opens on a rather ecstatic looking face, the Devil seemingly pleased beyond all measure as he stands in what appears to be an abandoned club.]

Hello, hello, you lovely duckies, you. Lucifer, here, and I'm thrilled to be able to share the news that through whatever means that I'm not currently questioning, my bar's wound up being sucked through that lovely portal. Or something. Not too sure on the specifics, but again, not questioning. To anyone who noticed a rather tall building appear, that'd be mine. Well, it is now. Papers signed and everything. Ladies and gentlemen... and others, welcome to Lux.

[There was a moment where he paused and turned the camera around, showing the interior of Quarantine's newest posh bar, then the screen was back on him and his too-pleased smile.]

While I'd love to open it as is, since everything including top shelf alcohol seems to have come through with it, I'm a bit short on staff. And by short I mean completely bereft. So, if anyone's interested in bartending, dancing, or finding another occupation that may be needed here, do please contact me. My new quarters will be in the Penthouse -- which reminds me, there's scads of floors here that are free, so I'm leasing space as well to anyone who's of a need. I'm sure there's a deal to be made for anyone interested.

[*note: There's a semi-walkthrough video here for a better look of the interior of the club, for those interested.]

[ Stephen finds himself smiling more at that, giving a nod as he looks back down the hallway. ]

I like to think I've gotten better with it, yeah.

[ He walks down it and checks a few of the rooms before walking back out into the main one. He tugs his bag around to his front. ]

I like it but I need a second opinion.

[ He opens the bag and his cloak shoots out from it, unfurling itself in the air above them. It shakes itself out and then starts flying around the room and down the hallway. Stephen watches it before turning back to Lucifer, shrugging a shoulder, ]

I guess it kinda counts as a roommate?

... What in the everloving blazes is that?

[He watched the red thing fly up by itself, flap itself straight, then fly off to go check out the rest of the floor they were on.]

Is it an alien? Some science experiment? Ooh, is it a magic carpet?

[ He grins at that reaction, pleased he was able to surprise the devil. ]

A distant cousin of the magic carpet, you could say. My Cloak of Levitation. A mystical relic that allows me to fly pretty much. But it's sentient in its own way.

Really? Does it like to be pet?

[Lucifer was fascinated, and it clearly showed in how he was almost clapping, looking down after where the cloak had disappeared.]

That's a little monster I could get used to having around. No shedding. No piddling on carpets. No leg humping that's not of my doing. Brilliant.

[ Stephen almost rolls his eyes, ]

It's not a pet, okay? It's an ancient mystical relic imbued with--

[ And then the cloak is back and tackling him as it wraps around his upper body and head in its own version of a hug. He muffles a bit, sputtering, before telling it to get off. ]

Alright, great. You like it, fabulous. I need to breathe.

[ It finally lets go, the ends reaching up to pet Stephen's cheeks as if to say it was sorry. He steps away, waving it off. ]

I'm fine!

[ Looking back to Lucifer, ]

We'll take it.

[He wasn't trying very hard not to laugh, so a little snicker came out as the cloak made its thoughts known.]

Right. Well. I'm in the market for a lawyer, so as soon as I get one, we can have a lease drawn up and everything will be lovely, yes?

[ He nods, hands going to his hips. ]

Alright. So we have to hold off moving in till then?

[ He at least manages to keep the disappointment out of his voice. ]

Not at all. You've picked it and I'm comfortable assigning it to you. The contract shouldn't take long to write up when I find the right lawyer for it. No need to wait until then if you're fine with it.

[ His expression shifts immediately at that, actually grinning, ]

Great. No, no, we're fine moving in now.

[ The cloak even floats over to Lucifer and pats him on the shoulder affectionately, almost as if they were old friends. ]

Oh, well, yes. Hello to you too.

[Stephen was currently Lucifer's 'favorite tenant', and that might very well not change, particularly if he kept coming up with interesting things that he hadn't seen before.]

Red is a rather lovely color. But yes, if you need anything, you're welcome to call or pop in upstairs. I'll drop off a copy of the lease when it's written up.

[Which, in case Stephen was wondering, would be within the next few days, after a certain blind lawyer arrived.]
