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]

[camebefore]

[Having someone sneak up on him (or so Hannibal assumes Lucifer did) wasn't an experience Hannibal had often. What would have been a startle in another person manifested as a twitch in Hannibal even though his heart races a few beats.]

There are always problems that require dealing with.

[He shifted a little uneasily in his seat. Does he believe this is the real Satan? No. But still...]

I'm surprised to see you here. I would think you would have better things to be doing than bothering with me.

In Wonderland? There isn't much to do. I'm held in check by my brother, Michael.

[Rather, he is feeling the urge to stay on his good side. But thats' the same thing, right?]

[camebefore]

The Archangel.

[It's more of a statement than a question coming from Hannibal's lips. The first urge of attempting to harm Lucifer is checked hard and quick. Wholesale murder is sure to get him caught here in Wonderland, and if this 'Lucifer' does have a sibling, questions could be asked. Even if he did manage to kill this so-called devil, what good would it do or prove?]

[It's the madness of this place, he tells himself and offers Lucifer a tight smile.]

That must be difficult to bear with, having your actions held by another. Does his will hold you as well or do you have one of your own?

[Only Hannibal Lecter would question the devil.]

[dissemble]

[Lucifer can sense the urge to murder at the forefront of Hannibal's mind. Smart choice.]

There's no need for me to challenge him here, and he knows it. [It's not exactly an answer.]

[camebefore]

[Even in his best moods, Hannibal tends to be himself with Lucifer. He says what he thinks and acts as he would were he alone. The oddity to those who knew him would be that he was plain in his words but respectful. There is no belief in Hannibal, at least not that he would acknowledge, but he was careful of the rude line.]

That isn't what I asked. I thought we were beyond the lying to each other stage.

Don't mistake me for someone you can kill if I overstep your arbitrary lines of acceptable politeness, Hannibal.

[It's not a threat, not quite. In fact, this is almost a courtesy from Lucifer- usually he'd simply end any humans he found becoming too big for their boots in his presence.]

[camebefore]

I would never do that, Lucifer. If I were going to kill you or attempt to, I would put more thought into it than a random act.

[Hannibal has put thought into it, a lot of thought. Mostly because of who Lucifer is and that Hannibal counts him among those he does willingly engage in conversation. Still, that ugly red line of rage and murder is running across all his thoughts and smearing them.]

I don't feel like I'm especially safe for anyone to be around today, Lucifer. Is there something I can do for you?
