video | content warnings for the devil being the devil

[Did you know you had a Civil War Museum, residents of Heropa? If you didn't, be sure to pay attention to what you can see in the background of this man's video. It's a wonderful museum, well organized and very educational.

The man in the video is dressed unassumingly in overalls. He's shutting a door behind him and locking it- obviously he thinks closing time is the best time to greet the rest of the network.
Well, it takes all kinds, doesn't it? His voice is calm and there's almost a neighborly tone to it.]


Hi- I'm, uh. I'm only new here so maybe there's a memo I missed or something, but I was wondering about what exactly we're supposed to be doing here. I'm a fairly simple kind of a guy- I like to call things how I see them. Call a pitchfork a pitchfork, you get the picture.

Now, I'm under the impression that I've been kidnapped and brought to Florida against my will. Not only that- but I've been branded like a piece of cattle. Yet some of you seem to be suggesting I've been done a favor of some kind.

[A pause as he locks the front doors of the museum behind him, checks they're securely shut, and moves away from the building. His tone begins shifts away from good-natured.]

That's a little rude, don't you think? Bringing us all here without any consultation and then asking us to thank them for it? That's fairly arrogant of them, right?

[Wait- was that a scream in the background?]

Now, I don't know you and you don't know me- but I'm sure there's a better way to resolve our differences than having all of us lying down in the dirt and letting them piss all over us.

[As he moves away from the building those of you who were admiring the fine architecture will notice that there are flames coming out of the windows. And yes- those are definitely screams you can hear now.

Lucifer is looking frankly into the camera once more.]


Just my take on things.


[The feed ends.


ooc: this is why you don't give lucifer a job as assistant curator at the local civil war memorial.

heroes- the poor people trapped inside the museum need your help! Lucifer won't be sticking around to deal with the fallout but please go ahead and threadjack to organise/actionspam rescues on this post!]

[This is why we can't have nice things! And there are a million things Gabriel wants to say to his brother - none of if about the trapped people though, other heroes can sort that out.

And then Gabriel chickens out, opting for stupidity.]


I am sorry monsieur you will be required to go home now.

[There's something very close to panic in the voice of a young boy staring in horror.]

What are you doing?

[Applause, just... you get some serious applause from Pitch for this man. Whoever you are.]

Well, you certainly have a way with delivery. Nothing says civil discontent quite like a bonfire.

You, sir, have gladdened my heart.

......

[Taking time out of playing along with his new job, coaching addicts to go ahead and mug/burglarize citizens to feed their addictions... wow, this isn't what he expected to see on this usually saccharine network. Why'd you have to go turning off the feed when it was getting good, Lucifer. Now he'll have to wait for the news -- or whatever's left to show by the time they get there. There's definite appreciation in his voice when he comments:]

See, that's a take on things I can respect.

[Nope. Nope. Oh for God sake. Why does this shit even happen? He got two days without brotherly crap going on.

Gabriel isn't even going to bother hiding. No reason to.]


Bro. Didn't take you long to make friends with the locals.

I mean it's no witch hunt or razing of London, but considering this place it's a job well done.

[Critiquing you style while complimenting it? Why yes, he is.]

Could have done with a tad more build up but that's my personal taste really.

[Yeah things get broken okay. Normally Lucifer's toys. On occasion siblings too.

You hear this tone of voice? This is the same one Lucifer got before they last parted ways. The I'm very not happy with you right now voice.]


Oh yeah you'll be a superstar in no time, Luci. You'll be on billboards before you know it, starring in cereal adverts and morning TV shows. I'm happy for you.

[Oh! Well! (Thinks Chilton). Of course! If he wanted to draw out the psychopaths in this town, why not just burn down a historical establishment? Perhaps because (he thinks, continually) he isn't legitimately --]

Psychopathic. This is exactly what I was talking about.

[this is almost face-palm worthy. he leans down with an ironic smile to press his hand against his forehead and huff up with a sigh before he begins the feed.]

A melodramatic way to prove a point. You must quite like the look of a bulls-eye on your back. I hear it's all the rage, actually.

Yeah, I can see you're getting into a real heated disagreement with the local authorities. I'm just wondering what comes next.

[Bringer of light and Bringer of fight, amirite?]

Were there people inside of that building?

[Were, rather than are. Chilton's already resigned any victims to the past tense, that's how strong his faith in this individual is.]

[Gabriel isn't too surpised when Lucifer shows up seemingly out of the woodwork. It's not like the day can get any worse. That being said, Gabriel isn't taking any chances either. It's only been two days since he "died" and it's not something he wants a repeat of so soon.

For now Gabriel keeps Lucifer at arms length, making sure to be facing his brother at all times and -

Wait, he only showed up to whinge? Gabe rolls his eyes, shrugging.]


How would I know in this place? Stockholm syndrome? I don't even know if Dad even made all of these ones anyway. You've not been here an hour and you are already whining. Get over it.

[oh my god. She's not in Heropa right now, not that she'd be able to do anything if she was but, yeah, staring in horror is a thing]

What the hell are you doing?! You can't just-- are there people in there?

[at least now she knows which group of 'heroes' are psychopaths by reading the feed]

What the hell.

[ Which is probably a more appropriate question than even Jack realizes, but he's a bit taken up with the burning building in the background. In theory, he feels the same way; he doesn't like that he's been dragged here against his will to hero around for the people who did it.

But he's learned his lesson about sympathy for devils, and this is way too far, even for him. He tightens his fist around his staff, nails digging into the wood, scowling at the screen.
]

Don't you think maybe you're - [ He winces as another scream manages to filter its way across the feed, and grits his teeth. ] - overreacting a little?

Mn, not unless you need a getaway though I would appreciate a bit of forewarning for the next one.

I can get them screaming a lot louder for mercy for you.
