[ He has spent a great deal of time considering how in fact he wants to and should introduce himself on this network. Not that computers are any stranger to angels, but as Lucifer he never had much use of them. As a human, though…

It should be easy enough to write a post, shouldn’t it? A simply introduction and a query for new information about this new world he’s found himself in. But what comes flowing out is not worded in the prosaic voice of the ages-old being that he knows himself to be but the irreverent, shit-posting, careless tone of the teenage delinquent that he was until so recently. ]

Pretty sure when old Shakes wrote about there being more thing in heaven and earth than dreamt of in philosophy he didn’t mean whole other universes. Eight year old me would have been thrilled!

On the note of people who have had brushes with death and ghosts, let’s take a poll here: how many of you fully expected you’d never expect anything again before you wound up here? Not to be morbid, but hospitalization or not I’m pretty sure I ought to be dead.

[ He hesitates at the end. It’s not what he intended, but it feels too natural to be denied. Perhaps “Sakuya Kira” is still more alive and well within him than he thought. Then again, this should suit him well enough; until he can ascertain the truth about this place and its denizens, hiding behind that old identity might not be a bad idea. It’s certainly a lot less threatening than “Lucifer.”

He hits post and waits to see who will respond. ]

I'm doing my best. { But he is wholly unequipped for handling a situation like this. } Do you have any family here?

I hope not. If that brat shows up we'll be lucky if he doesn't trash the whole city trying to kill me.

[ It sounds like a joke, and he is laughing at the thought, but he's also entirely serious. Mika has no self control whatsoever... ]

Brat? Is he your brother? A cousin? { Surely not son? } Families can be complicated. I have a sister myself.

My twin. He's noisy, obnoxious, short-tempered, and always spoiling for a good fight.

I'd say a sister would have been better, but I've known twin sisters to match that description almost one for one.

You have a twin? { Vincent brightens, strangely affectionate. } I have twins myself! My sons.

{ He chuckles. } She and I aren't twins, but we're close. Franny means a lot to me.

Yeah. It's supposed to be uncommon, but a lot of people I've known have been twins. In my experience a good relationship with them's been a lot rarer--congrats on that.

They were inseparable as children. But, with everything that happened, I cannot say they have - or will - remain so. { As their father, he will do all he can to bring them back together. } I love them and they know it well.

Sometimes people have to decide for themselves who they'll get along with.

Family is important. { Especially in their line of work. } Twins are a blessing.

[ HAH. ]

Speaking as a twin, not always.

You cannot tell me you are sorry your brother exists.

I wasn't referring to him.

You speak of another set of twins you know?

I'm saying I was a curse.

Now that isn't fair. If I were your father, I would disabuse you of that notion immediately!

[ Who do you think gave me the idea? is what he wishes to say. But if he says much more, he might actually give himself away. ]

You must be a pretty good father, then.

I wasn't a father for long enough. { And that's the real problem. } I must try again.

[ misunderstands ]

You want to have more kids?

That would be difficult without my wife.

{ Vincent, what even. }

[ I mean, ]

Probably not. Unless there's some kind of problem with the reproductive systems of the women residing here, or you're shooting blanks, regardless of your wife's presence you could in theory definitely have another kid.

[ SATAN PLZ ]

I am married. I would not put another woman in a delicate position. { Uh oh, it sounds like he needs to defend his manhood, though. } I'm not ah...shooting blanks. At least I don't think so! That's hard to know outside of...practice.

You ever hear of "polyamory?" I hear some people do really well with open marriages, too.

[ LUCIFER STOP TROLLING ]

I considered it before I was married. I didn't like the idea of potentially being bound to someone boring, but she is not.

It's strange, but I don't think I could go through with it.

That committed to your old lady, huh? Cute.

Call her that and you'll regret it.
