[Lucifer is lounging at Merlotte's, of all places. With a book, and a glass of--well, whatever he happened to grab. It might be water.]

Well, someone wake the Gregorians, I think it's my birthday.

Let's start the festivities.

[Basically, no one should plan on leaving their home. Maybe ever again.]

Comments

[uberboned]

Are you really gonna be that shallow about this?

[And then, quieter.] Has Michael told you about Dad?

[thelightbringer]

What about Him? I know He's here. He's poked His Voice in to say hello. The old familiar parts of Him tried to kill me.

So what? You care where He is now?

[uberboned]

Surprisingly, I don't I care about what we as a non-functional family unit think about it. Mostly I want us all to kindly tell Him to go fuck himself.

[thelightbringer]

I've already done that.

[uberboned]

Good for you. Has Michael?

[thelightbringer]

He won't. And if I want to watch him bow down to God again, I'll just wait until he tries to kill me on the chosen field.

[uberboned]

So that's it then. Daddy's within forty feet of us and we're all... Apathetic about it.

[thelightbringer]

I'm not. I just don't want to tell him what a mean bastard he is. He's not going to apologize to you, or me, or Michael, and he isn't going to care that you're upset. You're wasting your time. You want to give him the middle finger? I've done that. You're a few centuries too late, little brother [he sneers faintly as he says it]

I want to kill him. Are you suddenly on board with that, too?

[And once again, Gabriel isn't sure what he wants. Besides the angels living in relative peace to one another, but that's never going to happen, not when Gabriel made his stand for humanity and then buried himself in it.

Not that he'll admit that.]

No, but if you pull it off, I'll buy whatever bridge you happen to be selling.
