003 ↓ FOR THE DAYS ARE EVIL [video]

[lovesgod]

[Again, Lucifer is in the borderlands somewhere, holed up in some ruins. This time, however, the walls behind him are scrawled with charred sigils and there's the residual feeling of magic in the air. Someone - likely the devil himself, but could be anyone! - has recently cast a spell here. If this is a concern to Lucifer, he doesn't make it known. Instead, the camera hovers in front of him as he looks thoughtful.]

This inquiry is directed to individuals with more than five senses. If you can't sense magic, then you can go do something else if you want.

To those who know when the fabric of the universe is being messed with, please continue.

[He clears his throat and wipes ash off his hands.]

At the masquerade, someone was messing around with time. If, my friendly time-messer, you are listening to this, you should let me know. I don't think you will, but just to put that out there.

If you have any other ideas on who is messing with time, I'd love to hear them. And everyone, I imagine. As we're all hostages together, it's important for us to have a greater understanding of what we can do, so we can get things done together.

That's all.



[PRIVATE TO CROWLEY.]

I think you've had a reasonable enough headstart.


[PRIVATE TO PRESTOR.]

Still waiting on those virgins. Don't make me forcibly remove them from you.

[gamora]

Do I look like I want to deal with space and time paradoxes?

[ Please. ]

[lovesgod]

Better to be informed and prepared than not, though.

[gamora]

I don't have the senses that let me like he did. Don't want them either. [ a shrug ] It's simple enough - we're in another universe, in what most people would consider the future. We change history, and we remember the differences - even when the people giving us our orders don't.

[lovesgod]

Changing history makes you uncomfortable?

[gamora]

It's annoying.

[ Having two sets of memories is a bitch. ]

[lovesgod]

{He chuckles.]

Hmm. I never thought of it that way, but I guess you're right.

[gamora]

Whoever it is is going to slip up eventually. They always do.

[lovesgod]

What do you mean? LIke in the actual process of travelling time, or in changing time? Or, like, they're going to change more time than they mean to?

[gamora]

Both? It doesn't really matter.

[lovesgod]

I see.

[gamora]

So what, you just wanted to see if someone here would admit to flarking around with time?

[lovesgod]

Well, that would have been ideal, but really I was also interested in who's capable or who's interested as well.

[gamora]

Right, so they can all argue about who know more.

[lovesgod]

The more they talk, the better for me!

[gamora]

Practical and effective. Not bad.

[lovesgod]

That's me.
