VOICE ┼ ’cause Lennon’s on sale again

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Here's a great way to pass those free hours you don't know how to fill:

Bring me one of these posters with Persephone on it, I'll sing some lyrics right in your face. Live. If you don't know why that's totally worth it, ask someone who's been to one of my shows.

[ Jesus, she is worried. Persephone does her best to quickly be an asshole and not consider the ramifications of Lucifer's interest in her well being. ]

Or maybe you're worried I'll have taken up all the good nails by the time they're ready to crucify you.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Silence.]

I was up on a cross since the day I ascended, and that didn't change when I set foot here. Don't talk to me about good nails when I fucking coined the term.

Luci . . .

[ T-too much asshole?? NO THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE RIGHT. ]

You know what I meant.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Yeah, maybe too much asshole in the right sensitive spot.]

What? That I must be trying to save my own skin because-- [She laughs.] -- why would I do anything else? Because that sure sounds like what you meant.

[pummelgranite]

Excuse me? How could you even think that's what I meant!?


I meant that I don't give a shite what they think of me! Not any more than I ever cared what they said about you. Fuck them! Fuck. Them.

[It's not a hard jump for Luci to make-- as good a feeling as she has about Persephone, as good as she feels around her, eventually it'll all crash down. She's Lucifer. She's Eleanor Rigby. What else should she expect?]

I give a shit, alright?! [Persephone already seems to be dealing with enough.] Having a different opinion shouldn't be grounds for fucking character assassination, that is everything I am Persephone!

[pummelgranite]

[ She really doesn't get it. People hate Lucifer for no good reason. They think her mouth makes her a murderer. But Persephone is a real murderer. The people who hate and fear her are smart to do so. ]


And what if it's not character assassination?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

... shut it. [Luci actually has to take a second before responding, only because it takes her a minute to retrace how they got to arguing about this in the first place.]

The second anybody starts making garbage that suggests there's some good-and-bad dichotomy? Somebody else buys into it, and then a mess of people do-- thank you, Christianity. There's no hope for me now. But you-- you get to decide here. Don't let them do it for you, especially with some fuckwit propaganda.

[pummelgranite]

And I've decided that I don't care. I-

[ She huffs frustrated, and rubs at her face. ]

Do what you want with them.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Yeah, you have, and I can't stand it.

[It isn't that Luci wants Persephone to swing one direction or the other-- that's just impossible, people weren't good or bad one hundred percent of the time. But fuck did she wish Persephone would take things by the horns and just care if someone was being an asshole at her.]

I think I'm going to hang onto them until you're ready to burn them with me.

[pummelgranite]

[ WELL NOW SHE'S DISAPPOINTED LUCIFER TOO but y'know whatevs. ]

Uh huh.
