- let it go, let it go -

[dissemble]

Who: Lucifer and you.
Where: Out and about.
When: When and ever.
Rating: Currently for everyone! I will update this as require. Be aware that there will be talk of Lucifer encouraging people to do terrible things.
Summary: Lucifer craves- the downfall of humanity, among other things.
The Story:

[If there were ever a time when Lucifer would have rolled his eyes and given up tolerating this sad excuse for a world, it would have been now. Wonderland was small, comparatively speaking, and while he had heard all damage was quickly mended, it might feel nice to set all life dying in a solid block of ice.

But for one thing- Michael.

Instead, Lucifer turned to the other inhabitants. Browsing through their thoughts to see if there were any desires he could encourage to the point of self-destruction. Not as satisfying, but less likely to bring his brother's wrath down upon himself.

His desires regarding Michael were another thing entirely- and not something he necessarily wanted to contemplate here.]

[ooc: If your character needs a push to follow their darker desires, Lucifer can find them and gently encourage them that way. 8D]

[There are times when Lucifer almost cannot contain his revulsion towards the creatures he has made. It is to be expected- they are everything wrong and broken in humanity taken to the extreme- but when his daughter approaches today he wonders if things would be easier if he just destroyed all his children and started again.

Of course, he doesn't. Instead he smiles sadly at her, extending his hands.]

You've been listening to Crowley.

[first_demon]

[It's the first time he has said his name since arriving. It triggers a protective feeling in her, even amongst her want for affection. Crowley was precious to her, perhaps in a way her father could never near. He had served at her right hand far longer than anyone. She trusted him completely. Something that couldn't be said for Lucifer.]

Not on this occasion. On others, yes. His advice is good.

[dissemble]

He wouldn't have risen to power in hell if that weren't so.

[He keeps his tone free of all menace regarding Crowley, watching her curiously.]

Crowley understands many things, except one. He cannot imagine that I would be a merciful and loving father.

[first_demon]

[She's fidgeting nervously. Crowley is special in her hearts and she isn't opposed to his powers.] He managed to achieve a lot after being in my service. [Trying to underplay that relationship, Lilith?]

He views himself as more than just a demon...so he doesn't think the same way some of us do....

[dissemble]

Do you still love him?

[His tone is tender, understanding.]

[first_demon]

[The fact that she doesn't hesitate says a great deal.] Yes. Always. But his feelings towards me have changed. I think...I think he has someone else. [She pouts at that]

[dissemble]

[Oh, darling.]

If you cannot make him love you, no one can.

[first_demon]

Something is different with him. I don't know what, but his behavior is so....strange. He sometimes seems more human in emotion than demon, the way he is protective of the Winchesters and other mortals...he was never that loyal to anyone before.

[dissemble]

[If Lucifer has any feelings about Crowley apparently being more loyal to the Winchesters than his Father he keeps them hidden.]

I'll talk with him.

[first_demon]

[It grates on her that he has continually refused sex and her affections. Whatever is happening, she wants to know.]

If you find out what is wrong...tell me. His actions are...disconcerting.

[dissemble]

I will.

[He touches her cheek gently, soothingly.] Don't dwell on him, Lilith. All will be right in the end. You'll see.

[first_demon]

[It's as if he is promising her the pony that she always wanted. Only it's Crowley and if Lucifer delivers, she can have her lover back.]

I trust you, father. [And she will too, so long as it means that she can have Crowley.]

I want us to be a family again. All of us.

[dissemble]

Your faith commends you. [What a good daughter she is.]

Is there anything you need?

[first_demon]

[You mean besides Crowley and that pony?] Your approval and love.

[dissemble]

Which you have, with all my heart.

[first_demon]

[She still doesn't believe him. But she wants to, desperately.] How may I serve you better?
