From:

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.

From:

hellborndreamer

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

From:

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?

[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.]

[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.

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!!

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.

From:

abnormalizes

What's your shirt size?

From:

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.

From:

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.

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

From:

abnormalizes

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

From:

castaside

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

From:

castaside

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

From:

abnormalizes

From:

bluediligence

Luci-oji, are you busy?

From:

abnormalizes

Lucy? How are you holding up?

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

From:

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. ]

From:

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?

From:

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...? ]

From:

[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.

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

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.]
