Int: What is the difference between Niall as a solo artist and Niall from One Direction? Niall: I'm about a year and a half older than I was when I was in One Direction, uh, so I'd say I've matured a small bit. I've realized that I'm not 17 anymore and can't be crazy [...] and so, yeah, I would say that that's been the biggest thing. And then... I don't know. I guess the music is quite different and it's all very from me, and all the lyrics are mine and guitar's mine and all the instrumentation's mine, so it's all very me. When we would tour before, we would make an album as well, so that was very busy all the time, whereas this time, I've been making the album for like a year. I've had some chill time, ya know, I've been in and out of the studio when I wanted to, so I was kind of just floating along. So I think time was on my side this time. Int: Would you say like the creative process in your mind or head or spirit, whatever you call it, is that a lot different? Niall: Yeah, yeah, it's very different, cause you get - as I said, time helps. Cause you can sit down and you can - I can start a song and then not finish it for a couple of weeks or have an idea for something and not really use it for a long time, whereas before, when we would write and we were on the road, we would have to finish it pretty much straight away, you know, cause we only had a certain amount of time to make it.

Demotion

Location: 2C @ the Kavanagh Date: 7pm, June 14th, 2017 Availability: @abaddonian

Lucifer doesn’t announce himself, doesn’t let Abaddon know he’s coming. He’s come to Los Angeles—to stay for awhile, this time. With the Gates of Hell closed, he could only do what was available to him; that was manage the overground. With the apocalypse around the corner, there was nothing keeping him in Vegas any more, so he had chosen—once he’d healed enough—to come to the city of angels. But the first order of business was not angelic in nature; no, this was one of those horrible heart-to-heart talks a father never wanted to have with a wayward daughter: one that ended in demotion. But freeing a Horseman who was an agent of destruction on top of the only source of viable cure was not a forgivable act, outright.

Lucifer sat in Abaddon’s apartment and waited for her to come home. She’d appreciate the element of surprise and Lucifer was a patient man. In the meanwhile, when he’d normally prepare dinner or perform other niceties, instead he simply poured himself some of her bourbon, sat in a comfortable chair by the window, and waited for her to arrive.

Red Light

Remember when I asked you About your favourite colour And you told me it was red

Remember when you turned On the lamp by your bed And it shone a bright red

Because I do And it makes me smile

When I see red lights

I can’t help thinking of you

I can’t help imagining how  The light hits your face  Just lighting up the place  Your face seems to beam  You just look so wonderful Lying next to me in the red light - 06.15.17 1:04am
