YES I'M ACTUALLY GIRATINA

LUCIFER, THE MOST RESPONSIBLE GIRATINA [IT/HE]

[in-your-reflection]

SO...HEY. MY NAME'S LUCIFER. IM GIRATINA.

I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME IN DISTORTION, BUT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT MORE AND MAKE FRIENDS.

IM KINDA RUNNING INTO THE ISSUE OF NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO NOW THAT I CAN LEAVE DISTORTION THOUGH

SOMETIMES I GO AROUND IN A HUMAN FORM AND STUFF, THIS ONE HERE (THATS MY PARTNER AYIN @TEARS-ETERNAL ON THE RIGHT)

[oh-shinx]

What legendary is in charge of plot relevancy?????????

[in-your-reflection]

DEPENDS ON THE PLOT. BEING DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE IS TOTALLY ME THOUGH

[mothmanmagicalboy]

no sorry i dont really use instagram, i can contact you via ouija board, spirit box, fluctuations in temperature, flickering lights, and certain rituals. i am also on tumblr.

[in-your-reflection]

All things considered it just kinda makes sense atp. Like you've lived long enough that death makes sense not to take for any meaningful amount of time

Speaking of death though does it have any particular taste or

HE'S SO DRAMATIC ABOUT IT IT'S ADORABLE

ANYWAY IT TASTES REALLY BITTER AS IT TURNS OUT. THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME DYING ACTUALLY THAT FELT WEIRD

[in-your-reflection]

Glad you're back atleast

IT'S GENUINELY REALLY FUNNY TO ME THAT I GOT MURDERED AND NOBODY BATTED AN EYE. LIKE EVEN YOU GUYS KNEW THAT WOULDNT TAKE

[in-your-reflection]

HI. I AM. SO MUCH MORE ATTRACTED TO THAT MAN THAN I WAS BEFORE I THINK

[in-your-reflection]

To Rekindle a Flame

Allow me to tell you a story, O reader mine. A recounting of events.

Heed the tags, if you would.

Lucifer had arrived at the point indicated. Spear Pillar. The place he and Ayin once brought the world into being. Desolate, silent, with an air of unchanging reverence. The moon full as ever in the sky, another one of its many little lies.

"Guess I got here first," he said, gazing into the stars above, getting oh so absorbed in that way he does. Ayin was not there. Not yet. But he would be, soon.

The time would be coming soon. The time for the ritual Ayin had planned. And yet, he had not elaborated on the details thereof. A curious thing, that. But Lucifer had elected to trust Ayin on faith alone.

And soon, Ayin simply appeared. Standing there in full regalia, as if he had always been there, leaning gently on his cane with a broad smile.

"Hello, Lucifer."

"There you are. You're late."

"Time has no meaning here. I arrived precisely when I meant to."

Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Whatever. So what do I gotta do for this whole ritual?"

Ayin's smile twisted into a smirk.

"Oh, your input is unnecessary, dear."

"...What's that supposed to mean?"

Ayin responded with two sharp taps of his cane against the cold stone floor. Hovering silently in the air, a score of coffin-shaped stone tablets made their existence known. As if they'd always been there. As if they'd never left.

Lucifer's right eye went wide.

"You thought I'd destroyed them, no?"

"Yeah. I was there."

"Ahaha. You were there for quite a lot of things."

"I fuckin' knew you were up to something behind the scenes..."

I gently held his chin in my hand, delicately guiding his gaze up to meet mine.

"I have done so, so much 'behind the scenes', my dear Giratina."

He stared at me, dumbfounded, struggling to find a single word. "So when you gave me your power, what you're sayin' is..."

"Ahahahahaha. Eyes come in pairs, do they not?"

With a flourish of my cane, I allowed the four-pronged halo to manifest, if only for a moment.

"I simply chose to project the image of being helpless. Such was my will."

"So what's your goal here? You just fakin' it that whole time to be dramatic?"

"My goal is the same as it ever was, dear Lucifer."

With a wave of my hand, I brought the Faint Ones - the Unown - to my side.

"And I believe it is much the same as yours."

"Lucifer. My dearest, my beloved. You who I devote every ounce of my being to."

I leaned in close, closer...until my lips met his.

We held there, for one, glorious moment.

I found my lips stained with black. An acrid smell filled the air, and a bitter, delicious taste filled my mouth. I gazed upon brilliant light, sharpened to a point- no, three, protruding from the back of my beloved. Blades of divine will.

I pulled away, giving him enough time to gasp for breath. He chokes, spewing vitriol from his lips.

"Y...You..."

I gently pressed my finger to his lips, and swallowed. Black sludge continued to pool at my feet.

"Hush now."

He obeyed.

"My goal, if one can call it that, is to live my existence, my life, to the fullest, to spite those who had wronged me before. And to ensure those who had done so suffer as a result."

I showed him a gentle smile.

He smiled back as the light faded from his eyes, taking in one last, shallow breath.

"Fuck...you."

And then, unceremoniously, all fell silent.

//you know what im thinking about rn? running gags. i love running gags.

//rb this and put what your favorite running gag with your character is

//mine's lucifer's absolutely atrocious sense of direction (cause directions dont exist in distortion)

[fog-with-a-blog]

hey is it ethical to use illusions to make the next door neighbor's dad wander in circles looking for the right apartment until he gives up and goes away. he's coming to visit and they're super stressed about it

[asgeir-flaps-about]

That is perfectly ethical

[disablednecrozma]

I say it’s more than ethical it’s cool as fuck of you

[oh-shinx]

Your morals are incredible and your sense of ethics is on point!!!!!!!!!!!!

[in-your-reflection]

(@tears-eternal) Lucifer, dear, has the eye been giving you any troubles of late?

HUH? NO, NOT REALLY. DEFINITELY NOTHING AS BAD AS THAT ONE TIME I STARTED BLEEDING ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHY DO YOU ASK

[tears-eternal]

I think I'm ready. I want to come out of retirement, Lucifer. And, if I may...I'd like to continue to share my position with you.

[in-your-reflection]

AINT IT DANGEROUS? WHAT ABOUT ALEPH? WHAT IF HE STARTS DOING HIS GASLIGHT GATEKEEP GIRLBOSS SHIT ON YOU AGAIN? OR WORSE?

[tears-eternal]

That was an eternity ago. And that time was different.

That time, I didn't have you until it was already too late.

[in-your-reflection]

...You think we could take the entire Council if we had to?

[tears-eternal]

Without question, O godslayer mine.

[in-your-reflection]

Huh. Weird seeing you be confident for once.

I'm in.

Gonna assume this is another one of your complicated rituals?

[tears-eternal]

Indeed it is. Thankfully, I had prepared a contingency on the off chance I would eventually reconsider my decision to step down.

Upon the bridge between heaven and earth, where we once churned nothingness into form, that is where it will be done.

[in-your-reflection]

Okay but this can literally be solved with a 5 second program you know.
