Another Day in the Devildom

chivalry is alive and well

I saw some of the card art from the “I Kid You Not” event earlier this afternoon and was suddenly stricken with the need to write a ficlet. The only major difference between the event and this scenario is that the boys actually turned into small children physically as well.

Barbatos, about waist-high and smartly dressed in a sweater vest, has not let go of your hand since the spell began wearing off on the others. You’re squished together on the sofa in the living room, a fire roaring in the grate that highlights the refreshing stillness after the last few hours’ bedlam. Belphegor, Beelzebub, Levi, and Mammon, back to themselves again, are sprawled on the rug, snoring softly for the moment. Luke and Simeon are curled up on the other end of the sofa, and Diavolo, who fell asleep one-third the size of the armchair, is now overflowing from its cushion, boots touching the floor. Satan and Asmodeus share the loveseat like sunning cats, and Solomon nodded off, head pillowed on arms, at the table. Even Lucifer had eventually succumbed to exhaustion, arms folded over his chest like an old man in a rocking-chair.

“You’re not tired?” you ask the remaining child.

The smile that creases his cheeks is far too old and clever for the eight-year-old he seems to be. “Not yet.”

"am i really that old?" lucifer wonders on the train later

MC: There he is! My favourite old man!

Honestly I’m not suprised God. I hate drawing Lucifer 😭

Solomon: I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a follower and a leader. You make more money as a leader, but you have more fun as a follower
