The Devil's Nest, Friday Night

It had taken Lucifer this long, but he had finally had some time to sit down and watch the best-of Eurovision this year. He blamed Duke's boat and its lack of a convenient Netflix - or, well, Peacock - spot for the whole thing.

Either way, he'd come back from it with a renewed appreciation of the chanson. So he put some nice French wines on the menu, added a cheery FRANCE NIGHT above it in all caps, and sank down behind the piano to play.

"The only downside," he confided to Tiny at one point or another, "Is that I can't wave my hands around dramatically when I play it on piano."

Dwight had spent most of the day walking around town learning the layout of the island and meeting a few new people along the way. It was starting to get a little late so he figured it was as good a time as any to take Lucifer up on that offer to stop by. So Dwight walked into the Devil's Nest and up to bar and took a seat.

"Evening, Lucifer," he said with the most pleasant tone he could muster.

"Ah, still haven't had time to find a barber, have we?" Lucifer asked, waving at Tiny. "Tiny, take the yeti's order, please."

"Might get around to it sometime here shortly. In the mean-time I figured I'd give ya the $50 back. No sense throwing money at something that's not gonna happen for a bit."

Dwight pulled the bill out and laid it on the counter.

"So, France Night huh? At the risk of seeming even more the heathen in your eyes, got any nice French beers back there? Maybe some Licorne Black or something similar?"

"Well, I suppose at least it's not an IPA," Lucifer sighed. "Tiny? The Licorne Black, please." He eyed Dwight. "Of which you'll have to buy several if you want to spend all of that."

"You do a running tab here? Not planning on getting wasted tonight but will probably be around here and there."

He eyed Lucifer back with almost a hint of a smirk.

"After all, can't miss the opportunity to talk to the devil himself."

"I am charming and deeply fascinating, I know," Lucifer agreed, nodding. "Fine, a tab it is."

Though he dearly hoped he wasn't going to be forced to stare at that rat's nest indefinitely.

Charming might a bit of a stretch there Lucifer.

Dwight took the beer and sat at the bar for a moment, looking around.

"Really nice place you got here. Though... if I may ask... how exactly does the devil come to reside in Fandom and own a night club?"

Bold of you to assume this was actually Lucifer's night club, and not Eric's night club that Lucifer had commandeered with such dedication that almost everyone on the island believed he did co-own the place.

"Well, first I retired from Hell, moved to Los Angeles, and started a night club there and started moonlighting as a consultant for the LAPD," Lucifer said. "Long story short, my partner found out that I was actually the Devil and tried to kill me, so I came here for a vacation, then went back to LA, got caught in a demon uprising, decided to go back to Hell to quell it, all was horrid for a bit... then my arsehole twin brother decided to pop up to mess with my life, so I came back up to chase him off, my former partner found out she was made by God as a gift for me, demanded space, and I figured... well, I do have somewhere else where I care about people, let's go back there."

Did you follow all that, Dwight?

Well THAT certainly cleared things up.. Dwight took a long swig from the bottle and gave Lucifer a slight nod.

"Quit the... busy... life you live there."

And he thought life in Haven had been total insanity....

"Well, I am the Devil, and I hate being bored," Lucifer said. He waved his glass at the club. "Which makes it somewhat ironic that I wound up in this backwater, but people I care about care about the place."

"Interesting what motivates us at times. You came to follow something. I came to leave something behind."

That is what makes life such a 'joy' isn't it, that level of unpredictability and chaos?

"Well, you came here from a traumatizing hellhole, and I came here from LA," Lucifer pointed out, "Rather different starting points."

"True, true..." Dwight agreed. "And speaking to the hellhole... I am glad to see Duke is doing better. He was never much of the outgoing type and kept to himself mostly. He always seemed to be looking for something, he just wasn't the best at choosing friends and business partners" Dwight said shaking his head, remembering some of the escapades Duke had gotten into. "Glad he seems to be doing a lot better here than in Haven. Maybe there is hope for an ole sasquatch like me too" he ended with a chuckle.

"The haircut would help," Lucifer said, taking a sip of his drink. "Honestly if it was up to me he'd never go back, but he gets all bleeding heart sometimes and then no one can stop him."

"I'll work on that, Lucifer," he said with a chuckle.

"Can't imagine wanting to go back to Haven personally," Dwight said after taking another drink. That town took everything from me. It's not all bad... at times...." he said with a shrug. "But I cant imagine anything that would make me want to go back."

"I've literally never seen anyone go to Haven without returning horribly traumatized somehow," said Lucifer.

He knew two whole people who had been there, being Octavia and Duke. That was enough.

"Well, glad he seems better and has someone looking out for him rather than taking advantage of him for a change..."Dwight said giving Lucifer a slight grin but also a look that said he hoped he was right with that assessment.

"Never would have expected it to be the devil himself. But hey, not even been a week here and Fandom seems chock full of surprises!"
