The Devil's Nest, Friday Night

[my_own_advocate]

Well, having only one bar night a week left Lucifer with too much time to brood free time. So why not take on another one? It wasn't like Eric had anyone else picking up shifts.

So there he was, opening up the club, feeling... no one particular way, to be honest. He found he struggled a bit coming up with something to play, so for the first hour or so of the night, club music permeated the Devil's Nest while Lucifer lurked by the bar with a nice scotch.

... actually, the club music was an inspiration.

He slid behind the keys eventually to play some Avicii, letting the keys pull him into a comfortable sense of mindlessness.

Have a Drink

[my_own_advocate]

And don't get bothered by Lucifer.

Listen to the Music

[my_own_advocate]

Or do a bit of dancing.

Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

He's spending some time just off by the bar, watching the rest of the club with casually close attention.

"So, I missed you playing tonight," Seivarden said, smiling at Lucifer as she leaned against the bar. "Or are you just taking a break?"

She offered him three pale pink ranunculi tied together. "These arrived yesterday. I quite like them."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

"Thank you," Lucifer said, taking them and tucking them into his breast pocket, as per usual. "And I haven't started yet. Waiting for inspiration to come to me."

"What kind of mood would it be?" Seivarden asked, then turned to Tiny to order a whisky.

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

"I haven't decided yet, either," Lucifer said, taking a sip of his own. "No suggestions this time, I suspect?"

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[1000yearstoolate]

"I'd ask for one of the songs from the entertainment we watched," Seivarden said, taking a sip from her drink, then smirking. "But I'd be impressed if you remember any of them."

Lucifer snorted. "For all that you're from a completely different universe, Radchaai chord progression does not appear to be terribly different," he said. "I could certainly try."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[1000yearstoolate]

"Can I still be impressed?" Seivarden asked. "Anyway. I wanted to ask you something."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

"You are always allowed to be impressed by me, darling," Lucifer said, grinning brightly. "Or are you buttering me up for whatever you're about to ask?"

"Would you be interested in a vacation at a resort of some kind in a place called the Philippines?"

She'd get to the bad part next. There would be students there.

Re: Talk to Lucifer

Lucifer actually did look briefly alarmed. Was he going to have to have the 'not a relationship person' conversation with Seivarden after all...?

"In theory, yes," he said slowly. "They do serve great drinks in those resorts."

"No piano tonight?" Duke said, by way of greeting. "Or is that mostly a Tuesday thing?"

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

"I'm still working out what I want to be the 'Friday thing'," Lucifer mused. "Certainly piano, but it does need to be a bit more TGIF to stay relevant."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[betterthanaplan]

"Buddy. I'm from eleven years ago, and even I know saying 'TGIF' isn't still relevant."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

"Which is why I won't be saying it," Lucifer sighed. "But drinking heavily right before the weekend is something relevant to most recent decades."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[betterthanaplan]

"Ah yes. Drunkenness is timeless. Speaking of." Duke signaled Tiny for a drink. He was a regular enough in here now that he didn't even have to specify what kind. "Speaking of. Seivarden seems to think we should talk about 'our issues' with each other."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer took a sip of his own whiskey. "Does she, now," he said, sounding only faintly exasperated.

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[betterthanaplan]

"I think she might have been trying to get out of a conversation about dangerous exes," Duke said. "Which she brought up in the first place."

By mentioning that Lucifer was pining after someone who'd tried to kill him. Duke wasn't going to bring that part up if Lucifer didn't, though.

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

"Yes, well, Seivarden does have a regrettable habit of starting charged conversations that she doesn't want to have, and, if the other party responds, leaping out the window like someone just dropped a grenade," Lucifer said wryly. "I think she's said something similar about you, actually."

Re: Talk to Lucifer

[betterthanaplan]

"She's had someone leave an ax in her door," Duke noted. "I'm not sure she actually has any room to judge."

Office in Back

[my_own_advocate]

If Eric's there.

Re: Office in Back

[texted3times]

Eric was there, checking on orders and making sure that Lucifer wasn't drinking through the good scotch too quickly.
