@edenrefused for liking this post!

had it really only been eight years? lucifer felt as if it were far, far longer when he finally laid eyes on her again. with her powerful yet elegant presence a mere few yards away, he knew he wasn't dreaming; the times he reached for her in sleep had always felt off, like he could never quite get her face right, so she was always turned away. right now he was frozen as he waited for her eyes to find his in the shuffling crowd of the hotel lobby. but then what? he wanted to run— closer, and away at the same time. conflicting emotions rose in his chest and left him at a loss. he was furious, but also relieved, and elated, and wary, and... sad? it was almost too much. lucifer managed a step back, but couldn't bring himself to actually leave despite the mess in his heart and head.

@edenrefused asked: “ i think you’ll look quite pretty when you bleed. ”

a low growl rumbled inside alastor , but there was something off about it, it rattled , like a dying radio. " pretty ?!" he scoffed, the jagged scar only barely on show stitched back up , although messily , by his own hand.

" you said i wouldn't get hurt. " of course adam had never been mentioned in any part of the deal , going against adam. " play nice. protected your damned daughter , and THIS is the thanks I get ?"

@edenrefused didn't ask for a starter but is getting one

( HAIL VOX. HAIL VOX. HAIL VOX. ) they were chanting for him !! the whole entire crowd here , chanting his name ... worshipping him. he was a god ! he had finally achieved the status he had longed for tha the had craved.

" yes thats right !!! hail vox , i am the only one you can trust ! i will be here to spread lilith's word " vox declared to the crowd who cheered loudly back in response to vox. the hypnotised eyes in the crowd like a form of pride to vox. he had done this. nothing could ruin this for him... not even the dark whisps ??

vox squinted as dark smoky wisps formed in the crowd , right in the middle of his hypnotised army

well! it's probably not important! // @edenrefused

It wasn't often Dr. Carrard ended up getting his absolute shit rocked. It was likely because Anomlay didn't tend to sell to powerful people. Powerful people tended to cozy up with one another was what they said, and that meant powerful people were closer to giving their shit directly to one of the Vees... Regardless of what consequences were in their contracts.

Too much risk, not enough reward, in other words.

Still, Dr. Carrard can't win every time, nor did he expect to have someone come at him from behind while he stalked the person who was actually the target. He hadn't seen who it was, which wasn't ideal, but he's a bit more focused on getting back home while holding his guts in place with one hand. He was fairly sure there was internal bleeding. He was actually somewhat convinced this may kill him.

Hopefully now! But who could say.

As he stumbles the back way towards home, he's stopped by someone in... Concern? Or curiosity, anyway. His visor glows faintly. He looks at her, tilting his head to the side.

"ah! well, i didn't see! shame, ah... isn't it?" His voice wavers a little, his vision edging in black for a moment. He holds his hand tighter to his middle.

👀 for sass

really wish she hadn't seen that. but whatever. // @edenrefused

Anomaly did not often make a point to go after the people who broke their deals. By the very design of the deal they had with Dr. Carrard, that was his job. Anomaly made the deals, Dr. Carrard enforced the terms. It was simple.

Only it wasn't simple.

Because Dr. Carrard was wrapped up in some experiment, and while he would have gone out if Anomaly had asked him to, Anomaly had decided to leave him alone in his lab and venture out on their own to track down the wayward soul who had let one of their phones slip into the hands of some idiot who worked for the Vees. Better than letting it happen into the hands of the Vees themself, but it didn't matter in the end. The contract had been breached.

It had been a quick hunt, Anomaly found the Sinner, strung them up and let them hang. Their methods weren't as impressively painful as Dr. Carrard's, (they knew very well how painful radiation sickness could be), but it still got the point across.

They turn from the side street the fight had taken place, brushing themself off. They aren't hurt, not really, just a bit bumped and bruised around the throat from pulling so much on the wires that hang there. And they're presented with:

"oh. hey." They glance back in the direction where the person was still hanging, feet still twitching, and then back up at the person who seems to have been watching. Their hands go casually into their pockets. "he deserved all that. just by the way."

@edenrefused asked: “If you listen close, you can hear me judging your life choices.” al hehehe

" you always judge my life choices , darling." alastor says eyebrows lowering on their face. the words hadn't meant to , push, they'd known lilith had been teasing but ...

" who are you to judge mine , when you're still married to ... the self-proclaimed king ."
