The Devil's Nest, Monday Night

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

After the previous weekend, Lucifer was quite reasonably looking forward to a nice quiet evening at the bar. Well, Musubi would be at the bar, actually.

He was in a piano playing mood.

The Bar

Order a drink from Musubi!

Finding Caritas overly crowded last night, Barney happily entered The Devil's Nest for a celebratory drink.

"Scotch," he declared at Musabi, giving her the once over and a wink but oddly not verbally hitting on her when she retrieved his beverage.

Musubi bowed her head, giving him a coy look as she retrieved his drink. "Yes, my lord."

The Lounge

Where the master of the establishment is playing. The music this evening is just a touch sad.

Anakin took his glass of whiskey, cradled it in his hands, and took a seat in the lounge.

It had been a long day. He wasn't taking a chance of having singing frogs interrupt his reflections tonight.

Lucifer paused, just for a moment, in his playing to give Anakin a small nod of greeting.

Re: The Lounge

Anakin nodded back. "You play well," he said with a slight smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Skywalker," Lucifer replied, a small pleased smile. No real emotion behind it, but merely a polite reflex.

"Master Skywalker, if you don't mind," Anakin corrected. "I've become slightly touchy since the woman who pretends to be running the school decided that she was the only master on the island."

He'd always been touchy. Umbridge was a convenient excuse.

Lucifer nodded again. "Master Skywalker then," He replied, stilling his hands over the keys. "You as well?"

Re: The Lounge

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded, glancing at his scar-free left hand. "We've made an arrangement," he said, "but she's fiendishly good at finding loopholes."

He took a sip of his whiskey and scowled. "And the students aren't bright enough not to try to face off against something more powerful than they are, even after seeing weeks of ramifications. I'd hoped we'd taught them better than that."

Re: The Lounge

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

Which, of course, caused Lucifer to follow Anakin's glance. "Yes, people such as her always are."

"And it seems the children here exhibit a certain inquisitiveness that is both admirable and dangerous. Perhaps it would take something a bit more drastic to fix that."

Re: The Lounge

"She has a pen that uses your own blood to write lines," Anakin said flatly. "I certainly find that to be enough incentive and I've had some...difficult...supervisors."

Re: The Lounge

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

Lucifer gave him an even look, not looking upset or horrified by the punishment. It was rather mild, honestly.

"And yet it is still not enough to teach them caution? My, you must have some interesting students," He replied, making it very difficult to tell if he was being sarcastic or not.

Re: The Lounge

"Most of them are very taken with how unique and special each of them is," Anakin said, rolling his eyes, "forgetting that everyone here, or near enough, has some form of exceptional ability. They have become far too used to get their own ways."

He took another sip from his drink. "I, personally, wouldn't care if she hexed the lot of them to never say another word. I draw the line at making them bleed."

Re: The Lounge - Later that night.

It had taken Wilson a little longer than he'd expected to put together exactly what he wanted and he'd actually had to ask Aziraphale for help on a couple of points but eventually, everything was in place.

Thus came a mortal down to the Nest. In his hand he carried a bouquet, yes he was bringing the Advesary flowers, it was a thing. Made up of orange lilys (http://daypainter.com/daypainter/blog/images/orange-lily-600.jpg) with a scattering of stephanotis (http://www.xenios.com/stephanotis.jpg) the bright flowers were back by bright green palm leaves (http://marriage.about.com/od/flowers/a/flowermean_2.htm).

Not saying a word, he walked over to the piano and very carefully lay the bouquet down atop it, where Lucifer could see it.

Lucifer glanced up, looking at the flowers and pondering their meanings.

"When?"

Re: The Lounge - Later that night.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Tonight," he answered without fuss or fanfare.

Re: The Lounge - Later that night.

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"Shall I close early?" Lucifer asked, standing up and taking the flowers. He brought the bouquet up to smell the beautiful blossoms.

Re: The Lounge - Later that night.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

There was a softness in Wilson's eyes even as he lifted his chin a bit imperiously and said.

"Yes."

Of course, Lucifer Morningstar would do as Lucifer Morningstar pleased and if it did not please him to close early, he wouldn't. But he had asked a direct question and Wilson was willing to give him a direct answer.

Re: The Lounge - Later that night.

With a short nod and a very purposeful brush up against Wilson, Lucifer headed toward the bar to let Musubi know he would be leaving.

Re: The Lounge - Later that night.

Turning his head slightly towards the angle of that brush, the mortal smiled to himself and turned to walk to the door, awaiting Lucifer there.

We'll have to come up with some way to actually shock the Prince of Hell, then.
