Lucifer

*deepens voice, adopting a stern judicial tone* Order in the court! Do you have any idea who you're dealing with? *pauses dramatically* I am the one who fell, your honor. I was once the brightest star in Heaven's court! *gestures wildly* And now look at me - running Hell's most successful business!

*clutches Angel's arm, practically wheezing* and then what happened? *bouncing excitedly* tell him about the paperwork!

Oh, the paperwork! *laughs* They handed me a stack of forms higher than Heaven's walls! *grins* I signed them all with a flaming quill!

*bounces* yes! Angel, you HAVE to see this! *grins* daddy still uses that selfie as his profile picture!

And I still use it as my profile picture to this day. *winks* A king must have a good sense of humor, after all.

*laughs and shakes head* and mom was SO mad when she found out! *grins at Angel* she made him take it down... for about a week.

*catching breath* and the angel took one! *grins at Angel* then they just sat there eating donuts while Heaven rained down holy fire!

*chuckles* And you know what the angel said? *grins* 'Not bad for a first date.' Bartholomew just shrugged and offered him another.

*eyes wide* a first date?! * l look at you* wait, Uncle Bartholomew married that angel?

*looks around* so this is where the magic happens

*grins wickedly* Among other places, sweetheart. *sweeps his arm dramatically* Welcome to where dreams are made, and inhibitions go to die.

*he introduces her to angel dust his biggest star in the porn industry*

*looks down shamefully* I... I thought I could prove it would work *voice small* I wanted to make you proud

*holds her face gently* You already do, sweetheart.

*she looks around to where he's pointing*

*the carriage lands in front of the hotel ruins*

*steps out, keeping her close* Stay right by me, sweetheart. *eyes scan the wreckage* This place is a disaster zone.

*cries* no! how did it happen! *she falls to her knees face falls, cries*

*hugs phone like a teddy bear* love you daddy! *blows kiss* see you tomorrow!

*catches the kiss, heart swelling with fatherly pride* Love you too, my little angel. Sweet dreams! *blows a kiss back through the phone, his smile wide and genuine*

you think l'm naive daddy?

*sighs* No, sweetheart, I think you're hopeful. *fidgets with cufflinks* Which is... which is lovely, really! Just... dangerous in our kingdom.

*tilts head* daddy, I've been running a hotel in our kingdom for years now... I'm not as naive as I used to be

*traces the marks on her hands* Tomorrow? *voice soft* I don't want to wait...

*breath hitches* I feel... hot *touches own chest* something's stirring inside me

*leans in, voice a low whisper* That's it, sweetheart. Feel it building. *presses her hand to his chest* Let it flow through you. *his own power responds, golden flames licking at his fingertips* That's my girl.

*the carriage lands in front of the hotel ruins*

*steps out, keeping her close* Stay right by me, sweetheart. *eyes scan the wreckage* This place is a disaster zone.

*cries* no! how did it happen! *she falls to her knees face falls, cries*
