“Lucifer.” Satan’s voice doesn’t rise—it drags, low and molten, like something pulled from the core of Hell itself. The single word lands heavy in the chamber, silencing even the distant screams beyond the walls.
He stands rigid at the edge of the obsidian table, claws flexing slowly against its surface. The stone hisses faintly under the pressure. “I want him brought in.”
A pause. Not for effect—he’s containing something.
“That… thing.” His lip curls, revealing far too many teeth. “That fucking television-headed parasite.” The air flickers with heat. A nearby imp flinches and quickly pretends not to exist.
Satan’s tail lashes once, sharp enough to crack like a whip. “He hijacks a broadcast, makes a spectacle of us—of you—and I’m supposed to what? Sit here? Smile? Let the masses laugh?” His eyes burn brighter, fixed now on Lucifer.
“I say we drag him in front of the table. Strip away the signal, the smug little persona, all of it.” His voice lowers further, turning precise. Surgical. “And then we decide if he’s worth the effort of continuing to exist.” The chamber seems to lean inward with the weight of it.
A slow grin creeps across Satan’s face, cruel and anticipatory. “Personally,” he adds, almost conversationally, “I’d like to see what’s left of him when the screen finally goes dark.” Silence follows.Waiting. Watching. For Lucifer’s answer.
A soft, almost inappropriate laugh breaks the silence.
“Wow,” Beelzebub drawls, leaning back in her chair like this is dinner theater instead of a potential execution. One leg swings lazily over the other, golden eyes glittering with amusement. “You are really mad about this.” She props her chin in her hand, watching Satan like he’s the main event.
“I mean, don’t get me wrong—” she gestures vaguely, as if summarizing Vox’s offense with a flick of her fingers, “—super disrespectful, totally chaotic, very ‘I have a death wish.’”
Another small laugh slips out, lighter this time, but edged. “But also?” She tilts her head, curls bouncing slightly. “Kind of iconic.”
Her gaze drifts to Lucifer now, sharp beneath the playful exterior. “Hijacking Hell’s airwaves, poking the Morningstar brand, stirring up all that delicious panic?” She hums. “That’s not just stupidity. That’s strategy… or insanity. Trying to take over heaven.
She straightens slightly, the air around her shifting—still warm, still indulgent, but no longer careless.
“I’m not saying don’t punish him,” she adds, voice smoother now, more deliberate. “I’m just saying… if you’re going to make a spectacle out of this, make it worth watching.”
A slow grin spreads across her face. “Interrogation?” she echoes, glancing back at Satan. “Sure. But don’t just tear him apart right away.” Her eyes gleam. “Let him talk. Let him perform. See what he thinks he’s built for himself before you rip the plug.”
She taps her fingers lightly against the table, rhythmic, almost like a beat only she can hear.
“Besides,” she adds sweetly, “if he really believes he can play in our league…” Her smile sharpens. " I want front row seats when he realizes he can’t.”
