New mods and Lucy got an upgrade!

Same face. Horns closer to her OG design and glowing purple eyes. The orange ones made her look like a surprised owl lol

[wellthebardsdead]

Magadon Kest: the new look suits you little lyrebird.

Raphael: *can now only be described as a combination of a celestial/aasimar and a devil after Lucy turned Asmodeus into a glorified chair* I’m inclined to agree. My wife’s finest work if I may dare to say so~

Magadon Kest: I can only imagine your new power has father seething~

Raphael: oh yes, he eagerly attempted to overthrow her in what I’m assuming was his first, and last attempt to do so.

Magadon Kest: …What happened?

Raphael: she turned him into an ordinary human man and dragged him to her birth realm to work as a ‘McDonalds employee’. I’ve no clue what this McDonald’s is but after 12 hours he was on his hands and knees weeping for her to consider mercy and that he didn’t know how to fix this- McFlurry machine?

Magadon Kest: Flurry? As in a cloud of snow? Does it make snow cones?

Raphael: your guess is as good as mine.

Lucy: NOBODY MOVE!!

Everyone else: *freezes*

Lucy: I’ve dropped my brain!

Us: *skedaddles back over*

[wellthebardsdead]

Lucy: *cutting open all the duergars heads* ew ew ew-

Astarion: what are you doing?

Gale: and why does it require all our salt??

Lucy: just shut up and open the jars!

*several hours later*

Omeluum: hello you summoned me aga-

Lucy: *slaps a basket of fresh brains on the table and several ones pickling in brine* I heard you mention your artificial sources weren’t enough so I made use of our enemies.

Blurg: how thoughtful! Omeluum I- are you okay?

Omeluum: s-so kind and considerate, I’m- I’m unfamiliar with these feelings but- I *flies off and returns with a sending stone* if you ever need me please summon me at any time!

Lucy: aw! Thank you!

Omeluum: *flies to Blurg and holds his hands* did I further a friendship bond??? Is she happy?

Blurg: *looks to Lucy*

Lucy: *nods*

Blurg: yes my love, you did!

Omeluum: *trills happily*

[wellthebardsdead]

Lucy: *staring at her hooves, her pale rose like skin and the black abyss around the fire of her eyes* … *looks at the rosey mauve hue to her hair* … hm…

Azaroth: *lounging on her bed* hm??

Lucy: of all the features asmodeus could have given me… why did he make me look like this? His pride alone would normally have his children to bare some resemblance to him surely?

Azaroth: Grief.

Lucy: what?

Azaroth: grief, for his late wife, and your sisters mother…

Lucy: he?… had a wife??

Azaroth: you’re not aware of how Levistus ended up in that glacier?? Even after he tried propositioning you for marriage?

Lucy: *adding it up quick* he was the one who killed her?…

Azaroth: *nods* some say he tried to have his way with her, others say he merely tried to persuade her to turn on her husband. Either way, it ended with him killing her, and the hells witnessed a fury like no other from asmodeus that day.

Lucy: what was her name?…

Azaroth: Bensozia.

Lucy: … *looks in the mirror and recalls the softness behind the eyes of the lord of lies when he first held her in his palm. A very, very thin veil of grief, one that could still be easily torn by his claws should she cross him too many times* Huh… even in this life I don’t have a mother…

*that evening*

Lucy: *blinks awake, realising she’s not on her bed, but nestled against a now uncomfortably familiar palm, only where an uncertain fear once sat, now only warmth remained as a clawed thumb absentmindedly rubs her back* … *looks up slowly to see Asmodeus, staring down at her, not yet noticing she’s awake as he gazes at her with a forlorn look in his eyes. Even the devils heart can ache* … *quietly places her hand against his palm* …She loved you a lot…

Asmodeus: *coming back to his senses for a moment, prepared to put back on his mask but instead, returning to that resigned sadness. Lucy won’t judge his weakness* she did… and I failed her… *sighs, wanting to deliver his ultimatum clearly to her. His threat. To ignore Lathander and accept only his presence. But instead choosing a softer approach as he sees his wife’s beauty in the creation he’d made of her* I won’t repeat my mistakes, with you…

Lucy: *cautious but still surprised at his softness* …thank you… Levistus propositioned me for courtship.

Asmodeus: HE WHAT?!?!

*the next morning*

Azaroth: *dressing Lucy* your fathers in good spirits then?

Lucy: he was until I told him about Levistus attempting to court me.

Azaroth: Oh he’s DEAD dead.

[wellthebardsdead]

Lucy: me? Attracted to Raphael? No our union is a purely political based strateg-

Raphael turning up to help in the final battle:

Lucy: …Okay listen-

[wellthebardsdead]

Raphael: What do I give her to show I’m grateful-

Korrilla: *opens her mouth*

Raphael: for her choosing me as her consort not for her thwarting my plan!

Korrilla: you can always try flowers. She likes morning glories and is partial to roses.

Raphael: flowers? Really?

Korrilla: just try it.

Raphael: ugh, I suppose anything is worth a shot.

*a few hours later*

Raphael: *hands Lucy a bouquet of flowers, visibly looking annoyed and disgusted by the mere act of holding them* For you, Mouse.

Lucy: I- *takes them and inhales deeply, wings fluttering and tail swishing* nobodies ever given me flowers before, thank you, I love them- *smiles and smooshes her face into them for another inhale*

Raphael: …

*a few more hours later*

Korrilla: *playing cards with Hope*

Raphael: *storms past* pen down a reminder for me to give her flowers weekly!

Hope: what’s up his arse?

Korrilla: love. Go fish.

[wellthebardsdead]

Lucy: *slams the door to her room in last light after talking to Raphael* That cheating, lying, sneaky, nasty, conniving, good for nothing son of a-AaAAAHOOOH MY GOD NO IM IN LOVE WITH HIM!

Zhalk: oh good you figured it out.
