001: first prayer, voice-video

[angelfire]

"If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." Poor baby.

The prophets wrote that Jesus, having resurrected, first presented himself to Mary Magdalene, who did not recognize him. Well, that's a classical telling. 'The women' is a more accurate translation. So I did that. They had cookies. [ A thoughtful clucking sound is attached to the disassociated voice. ] Then he came down upon his disciples, and broke bread with them. Would you be surprised to know just how many Satanists there are in Florida? They were very accommodating.

[ The camera is turned upwards. Here, at last, is an (unfortunately) familiar face for those who have been here for a while. Lucifer doesn't look like much otherwise, just another steely eyed, rough featured imPort making his introductions. There are wounds healing on his - admittedly pale - face that look like they might have been some kind of deep tissue radiation burn. Still, he doesn't seem to be in any pain--he looks kind of cheerful. ]

I really don't know what I did to deserve a military escort, but I'm more than happy to know that I've engendered such respect in the human population here. Well--respect; fear; one is so very much like the other.

Now then, why don't we start with some introductions. [ He tapped his lip with one finger, considering where to start. ] I have a number of names, most largely unnecessary, but Lucifer will do. For the uneducated amongst you, that means I'm an archangel. For the heathens--well, sucks to be you; you have fun with that. [ The amusement is clear in the crinkles about his eyes. ] Furthermore, I'm delighted to announce that very soon I'll be usurping the airtime of a televangelist near you. Television exposure, a sponsorship from DRV Games, the adoration of my fans-- [ He drawls, it's difficult to tell whether or not he's being sarcastic: ] It's like a dream come true.

Oh, and Dean? Hello darling. Let's have a little chat, shall we? Happy belated Easter, chickens.

That's speaking lightly, actually.

[microbrobotics]

wow. okay. never talking to HIM again.

If you're curious, I'm sure you could track some of the more interesting tidbits of the experience.

[ there have been a few things that Loki's been trying to get his hands on for a while, including the inevitable backlash that Lucifer got out of the whole ordeal. just what—and how it worked were still mysteries, and at the time Lucifer refused to divulge. Loki doesn't think he'll have any better luck with this one. ]

[microbrobotics]

you mean stalk him through the comms? .... well yeah, I kind of do that with everyone i guess. outright hacking's a little mean though, even for satan.

[selfimage]

I mean go to the library and check the newspapers for the dates he was here prior. It's not that hard to find. He caused quite a stir.

[ you children, wow. ]

[microbrobotics]

newspapers? that was a joke right??

[ You old people. ]

[selfimage]

I know. They EXIST.

[microbrobotics]

maybe if they have a digital edition. do a search that way.

[selfimage]

I didn't know you had a hateboner for print. I suppose some mysteries will remain the mysteries that they are.

[microbrobotics]

it's just outdated jeez.

... what mysteries are you even talking about? i thought you were here when he was here before.

[selfimage]

You mean the mysteries of the Satan Murder Streak that happened a whiiiiiile back? Depending on the deets you want, ofc.

[microbrobotics]

i know you're just playing that up to get my attention

.... go on

[selfimage]

We have to be properly dramatic.

Oh no, that's it. That's the entire thing. You'll have to check the newspaper for the rest.
