Voice - Morning after the cursed game

[retirementsnotsopeachy]

You have time to swing by for a talk? I can't go out yet for reason and I need this before I do...so I don't do something that will be regretted, no matter how much I want to.

Re: Voice - Morning after the cursed game

[dadbeatdad]

Of course, friend. It's a little early. Shall I bring coffee? Do you even drink coffee? On my way.

Voice | UN: HellPrincess

[hellborndreamer]

Dad. We need to talk. Please get back to me quick as you can.

Re: Voice | UN: HellPrincess

[dadbeatdad]

Hey. I just got your message. What's going on. Are you alright?

[Worried Dad is obviously worried. He has no idea what is about to happen.]

Voice - Post-Red Son Talk

[retirementsnotsopeachy]

So it went.

As soon as MK feels safe enough to start going out again, I'm getting as much alcohol as it takes to knock myself out.

You want to join me?

Re: Voice - Post-Red Son Talk

[dadbeatdad]

I would be delighted to! We can clear out a few bars worth of drinks and have a fun time.

[abnormalizes]

[Here's Evangeline! And next to her is a floating skull on a cross wearing a crown of thorns, as you do.]

So, hi, this might be kind of weird but would you be willing to employ an Abnormality in your hotel?

-This is One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds. [The skull bobs a little in acknowledgement.] They can heal some mental damage if you confess your sins to them. Not a ton, but enough to lift some stress.

I brought them to Ellipsa a while ago, and up until now they were living with my friend Purple Mage helping them with their mental health. But Purple just went home, so I was wondering if maybe they would be able to help any at your hotel?

-They don't talk, and their mood can be a little hard to read. But they seem to like helping people?

[One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds bobs a little in the air again.]

Re: un: abnormalitylover, video

[dadbeatdad]

Oh. Unholy hell.

THEY ARE JUST PRECIOUS! Look at them. I'm sorry but I just. Yes. Yes they can, if they want to.

I am sorry your friend has returned home though. I am sure you'll miss them. Why don't you both come over to tea? If you need to talk, I mean.

Voice | UN: frieda

[urtitan]

[The day after the hotel opening, Frieda gathers her courage to give Lucifer a call (how she got his number is anyone's guess - perhaps she asked Charlie?). She's nervous, but if she doesn't speak with him now, it'll only get more and more awkward the more time passes!]

Mister Morningstar? This is Frieda Reiss. We spoke via video call when you announced the hotel opening, and briefly met on location. I wanted to apologise for my behaviour. I didn't mean to leave you and Barghest so abruptly, but her story was... a little much for me.

Re: Voice | UN: frieda

[dadbeatdad]

[He's also totally plastered it on the hotel signs too. And fliers around the city and segments. Or Charlie. Whatever way, Lucifer doesn't question it.]

I do apologize as well for pushing myself into the conversation. Her story was quite sad. Do you wish to talk about why it was a little much for you?

July 27th, late-ish - text - un: piccione

[bluediligence]

Lucifer-san, this is Korone!
I'm SO sorry I missed the workshop today!
Me and half my family got caught up in another curse thing ...
Do you mind if I teleport something onto the reception desk in your hotel lobby? Not curse-related I promise!!

Re: July 27th, late-ish - text - un: piccione

[dadbeatdad]

Oh hello Korone.
So that was why you didn't show up.
Is everyone okay?
Sure, if you want.

voice!

[daturameloxia]

Lucifer? [Wylan hopes he has the correct place.] You're invited to join us at the house for a birthday party this weekend. I hope you're able to make it.

Re: voice!

[dadbeatdad]

I would be glad to! Who am I getting the presents for?

un: abnormalitylover, text

[abnormalizes]

What's your shirt size?

Re: un: abnormalitylover, text

[dadbeatdad]

A small usually works. Ooooh look at it! It's perfect!

Voice

[retirementsnotsopeachy]

Hey Lu, when you've got a minute, I was wondering if you'd be open to hearing an idea I've been sitting on. I don't really need much out of this beside your thoughts, so no rush or anything.

Re: Voice

[dadbeatdad]

Hey Wu. I got a minute for my best friend whenever. You want me to come over or do you wanna come to the Hotel?

text un: gaine

[sangreine]

Hi Lucifer, it's Saya. I was wondering if you had some time. Like at the hotel. [ So definitely not a casual get together. ]

Something happened and I realized that I'm not okay, and I haven't been for a while. It's...

It's really bad and I don't know what to do.

Re: text un: gaine

[dadbeatdad]

Of course I have time for you. Send a marker thing and I'll open a portal.

I'm here for you.

text

[schrodingerscockroach]

We have to menace Macaque.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[dadbeatdad]

I'm all ears.

gift

[roundandaround]

[Rinku sends her Yuletide gift: a seashell and... herb-growing kit?]

Re: gift

[dadbeatdad]

[How positively random and cute. In return, Rinku gets a little idol duck. It has headphones, a cute white and pink dress and tutu, and when squeezed plays music.]

delivery

[abnormalizes]

[It's an 'easily excited by rubber ducks' shirt! Lucy's an easy one to shop for.]

Re: delivery

[dadbeatdad]

[Lucifer LOVES it. In exchange, he gives Evangeline her own secondary rubber duck. It's part of a fair. This one looks like her with long dark hair and glasses. She can squeeze it and it will help lead her toward another duck he's made for Rinku.]

January 4th

[castaside]

Hi, love. Do you have some time to talk? Something happened with me and I'm not taking it very well.

Re: January 4th

[dadbeatdad]

I always have time for you, love. I'm out shopping. Want me to come to you?

[castaside]

Hi, love. If you have some time, Choco and I could use your advice. It's a soul-related issue.

[dadbeatdad]

<3 Hello love of mine~

Oh? Of course. I'm free in about half an hour. Is that alright?

mail

[abnormalizes]

text; mid march

[bluediligence]

Luci-oji, are you busy?

Re: text; mid march

[dadbeatdad]

Choco-chan, no at the moment. What can I do for you?

un: abnormalitylover, voice

[abnormalizes]

Lucy? How are you holding up?

[She doesn't expect him to be doing great, considering. But she has to start somewhere.]

Re: un: abnormalitylover, voice

[dadbeatdad]

I've been better. Of course. ...And you?

GIFT

[bluediligence]

[ A somewhat oversized parcel arrives in the hotel lobby one day, wrapped in adorable paper decorated with an array of watercolor chibi ducks. Singing ducks, dancing ducks, theater ducks - you name it!

Written upon an apple-shaped tag in apple-scented gel pen is a simple message, "For Luci-oji! With lots of love, Choco ♥" ]

[ Inside the parcel is a 4ft tall plushie. A duckie plushie, like a rubber duck but huge, super soft, and exceedingly snuggleable. It's also undeniably, unmistakably Macaque-themed, and it comes complete with a handmade red scarf ... and a pair of goofy mango-themed sunglasses with "Macquack" engraved on the temple tips. ]

Re: GIFT

[dadbeatdad]

[Lucifer is so excited seeing his gift. He smells the apple tag and smiles wide. Then opens the gift and just makes the happiest giggle noise. He pulls out the duckie plushie and hugs it tight. His very own Macquack! He spins around and snaps his fingers. A new black and purple love seat appears and he sets the duckie on it's very own loveseat.

But he isn't done yet.

He takes a selfie with it and sends it to Korone with a message.]

I love Macquack! And I will get you for this! <3

July 25

[castaside]

It's the first anniversary of when Macaque and Lucifer got together, and Macaque has pulled out some stops.

First, to text his mate: Hi, love. I have a surprise for you. Can I send you a pin to meet me?

Re: July 25

[dadbeatdad]

Lucifer has the date on his calendar and he is in his workshop working on something when he gets the text. He pulls out his phone and smiles wide.

Hello yourself, handsome. Of course. I was thinking about you just now, you know.

late August

[castaside]

[ The number listed on the phone is Macaque's. But there's no text, no talking. All Lucifer can hear is hyperventilating and perhaps the beginnings of words that the speaker gives up on after half a syllable. ]

[ What in the unholy hell...? ]

Re: late August

[dadbeatdad]

Love? Are you okay?

...

Do you need me to come to you?

and now in "pan tags literally every single one of tsumi's characters" land, post music club--

[splittingheadache]

[On a day where Lucifer's at the hotel properly, he's going to be greeted at some point with a knock on his office door - a soft, polite little knock with the clink of metal, making it pretty clear who it is before he even enters the room.

Once he does, though... it's equally clear Louis is mulling something heavy over in his mind, even wringing his hands when he stands in front of the Devil.]

Good afternoon, sir. I, ah... I'm afraid I'm here to ask yet another favor from you, on top of the long list of things you've gifted me thus far...
If I may. I understand if the answer is no.

Re: and now in "pan tags literally every single one of tsumi's characters" land, post music club--

[dadbeatdad]

[Lucifer answers the door. His new door. The one he bled for. It's mahogany you know. It swings open as Lucifer looks at Louis and sees that clearly there is something on his mind. He offers him to come inside. The sitting room is lavish as one would expect with reds and golds and whites. He blinks at the strange starting point.]

I mean, you would also sacrifice a lamb to me if you really want to feel better? That is an option. If it would make you less nervous.

What is the favor?

text / un:flex (backdated to the start of october post-hell)

[emanation]

Hey! Sorry it's been much longer than I thought it'd be to get things sorted on my end. I had to kinda go back and forth with Harrison to check what I needed, but I'll attach a form for you to fill out if you're still interested helping out people doing time in the prison. I wanted to make sure I did it right.

{ attached is a very simple form just to get it formally written down what people will be doing and at what times. }

When we get started I've pretty much been asked to run of a bit of a probation period since we can't prove anyone's credentials, but hopefully that won't be an issue.

Re: text / un:flex (backdated to the start of october post-hell)

[dadbeatdad]

Fantastic! I will fill out the form and I am more than willing to undergo any probation period and meet with Mr. Harrison if needed. Thank you for sending this to me. I am very hopeful for this program you are all working on.

text; we can thank evangeline for this

[splittingheadache]

[Directly after this... Louis can't help but feel he needs to at least ask for a little confirmation.
So!]

Excuse me, Your Highness. Apologies for the sudden text, but Evangeline brought something up that I feel is imperative to know.

Have you been attempting to "daddy" me? What with the endless gifts and kindnesses, even gifting me seemingly endless booze when I want it?
Are you seeking that sort of relationship from me?

[...]

This is not a rejection, if you are. For the record.
I simply want to confirm, first.

Re: text; we can thank evangeline for this

[dadbeatdad]

Daddy? Oh. As in I am attempting to court you as a sort of Glucose Guardian situation?

MAIL FOR MR. MORNINGSTAR

[splittingheadache]

[Of course, the invitation doesn't come in an envelope - rather, it's tucked inside a nice box alongside a big, beautiful feather that's been painted with poppies.

And written on the back of the invitation is a note:

Warm and inviting, the devil's hands
Are all that I trust to catch me
When I fall to my knees
And beg for reprieve
From this cold and uncaring world.

Thank you for catching me always, Lu. My apologies if you don't care for poppies; flowers are the only thing I am able to paint with some modicum of success.
It's meant to be worn in a hatband, but you can do whatever you'd like with it.



... Yes, even his signature is gilded. Don't worry about it, he's just as extra as always.]
