The Pressures of Being Me – Solomon
Our Quiet Place – Newspaper
––––––––––––––––
Stn: What an assortment.
––––––––
*Demon Lord’s Castle guest room*
Lucifer: As requested, I’ve brought Chise without my brothers finding out. *worried grimace* So, what is this all about?
Diavolo: *cheerful smile* Well, Barbatos got hold of a rare bottle of Demonus, so I thought we could all enjoy it together.
Barbatos: *professionally presenting* This is Sand Demonus. It is a rare brand brewed with water from a phantom oasis in the desert.
Diavolo It’s quite strong, so I thought the three of us could give it a try first.
So I can’t have any?
Diavolo: *sheepish smile* While we would love to enjoy a glass with you…
Barbatos: *shakes head regretfully* This is not a widely available product, so we are not entirely sure that it is safe for humans. We will try it first, and if it seems safe, you can start with a small amount.
–
2. So why did you call me?
Diavolo: *chuckles, big beaming smile* Because I wanted to see you!
Lucifer: *exasperated sigh* Is that the only reason? Well, that is typical of you.
Barbatos: *inclines head politely* We have also prepared an original Demonus inspired by the Sand Demonus. *kind smile, eyes crinkling* Feel free to enjoy this one, Chise.
Barbatos: *holds up hands, palms out* As this is a Demonus from a desert region, I thought we might enjoy it with the appropriate atmosphere.
*fade into spell’s white light*
--------
Belphie: What happened to Lucifer?
--------
*transported to desert region’s luxurious guest suite*
*the Fantastic Three wearing their desert garb*
Barbatos: *chuckles* I am sure we will be able to enjoy the Sand Demonus more this way.
Lucifer: You’ve made a recreation of the land where Sand Demonus is brewed?
Diavolo: Nice, isn’t it? *eager eye contact* Chise, please make yourself at home.
Barbatos: *touches chin, inclining head pleasantly* I have prepared a feast worthy of a palace, please eat to your heart’s content.
Lucifer: *thoughtfully* Sand Demonus... It has a delightful aroma, but the alcohol content is certainly high.
Diavolo: *serious, discerning nod* Mm... Indeed. Each sip leaves a fiery sensation in one’s mouth. Just as you’d expect of a Demonus from a desert region.
Barbatos: *pleased nod* However, it has a refined, superb flavour.
Well? Are you feeling tipsy?
Diavolo: *chuckles cheerfully* I wouldn’t go as far as that, but I’m feeling quite mellow.
Lucifer: I imagine this is the type of Demonus that you pass around as you talk through the night.
–
2. Shall I pour you another glass?
Diavolo: *smiles appreciatively* Could you pour for Barbatos? He’s so worried about my glass that he’s not pouring for himself.
Barbatos: *pleased smile, chuckling bashfully* You are most kind, My Lord.
–
*time skip*
Lucifer: *tilts head, considering eye contact*…Chise, come over here.
*moves in closer*
Lucifer: I imagine you’re bored simply watching us. *flirtatious smirk, confident gaze* If you would like a little taste, why don’t you start with my lips?
Barbatos: *tilts head, watching attentively* ...?
--------
L3V1: Why are you all so sexy?
--------
Lucifer: You must be bored not being able to sample it. *chuckles with flirtatious amusement, smiling* I’m sure a little taste of my lips would satisfy your curiosity. Feel free to help yourself. *confident, assertive gaze, leaning close* The sweetness of your lips will soothe me faster than any Sand Demonus.
...You’re being awfully flattering, aren’t you?
Lucifer: *smiles, hums agreement* My lips exist to intoxicate you.
–
2. You’re drunk, Lucifer!
Barbatos: *hums, frowning thoughtfully* This feels somewhat different from being drunk...
–
Diavolo: *smiles fondly* Why, Lucifer’s not drunk. He merely speaks the truth. I want nothing more than to whisper sweet nothings in your ear...
Barbatos: *noise of agreement, direct eye contact* You are far more rare and precious than any Demonus.
Diavolo: Sweeter than any temptation a demon could offer.
Barbatos: *flirtatious, direct* Each of your gestures draws us ever nearer, like the alluring scent of honey.
Lucifer: *noise of teasing amusement, smirking flirtatiously* It seems that you are unaware of it, so let me enlighten you. You drive us wild.
Barbatos: *soft sigh, blush rising to cheeks* *gentle and earnest eye contact* How my heart yearns for you as I gaze into your eyes...
Diavolo: *heavier sigh, blushing as well, expression of yearning* While it would no doubt be easier to let you go, I find myself unable to. I am your captive.
--------
monSOLO: I want some too…
--------
Lucifer: *shakes head* *longing sigh* Today, I find myself unable to see anything but you...
Diavolo: *deep, rumbling hum, pining* I’m overflowing with desire, it’s growing increasingly difficult to hold back.
You’re all drunk!
Diavolo: *pouts sadly* It saddens me that you would dismiss my words as drunken rambling. These are my true feelings.
Barbatos: That being said, we do appear to be under the influence of a certain effect.
–
2. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Lucifer: *chuckles, flirtatious smirk* Heh, I find your reluctance charming as well.
Barbatos: In a sense, that is the correct reaction, Chise. After all, there is a reason for our current behavior.
–
3. Are you trying to seduce me?
Barbatos: *shakes head* Seduction? *deliberately soft smile, flirtatiously bold* Why, I’ve barely even begun. It seems that we are all speaking under the influence of a certain effect.
–
Barbatos: To my surprise, when I was putting away the box that the Sand Demonus came in…I discovered a false bottom that contained a warning note. It said that drinking Sand Demonus has the effect of making honeyed words tumble from one’s mouth like sand.
Lucifer: *direct, bold* I don’t care about the workings of Sand Demonus. I want to get drunk with you Chise.
Diavolo: *smiles* I feel the same. More than Demonus, or any feast, I want you.
Barbatos: *enticingly pleasant, fond* While everyone may be speaking honeyed words, we are only saying what is in our hearts… *expression softens* Chise, I am simply crazy about you.
Sit next to Lucifer.
*cuddles closer to Lucifer*
Lucifer: *smug chuckle, triumph* So, you seek my company as well? *expression falls into a look of desire* The Demonus is not to blame for stirring up my passion. It is you who ignites these feelings within me.
Lucifer: *blush rises to cheeks, sincere hand over heart* So, stay close to me and soothe me... I trust you have no objections?
–
2. Sit next to Diavolo.
*cuddles closer to Diavolo*
Diavolo: *smiles, attentive eye contact* Ah, so this is what it means to feel fulfilled… *deep hum, yearning gaze, blushing* I rarely feel flustered, but when I am with you, my heart is in turmoil.
Diavolo: *open arms, sincere, honest body language* You are the only one who can make me forget my position and everything else... You drive me crazy, Chise.
–
3. Sit next to Barbatos.
*cuddles closer to Barbatos*
Barbatos: *pleased chuckle* *bashful, honest smile* You are the only one for whom I remove the butler’s mask. *soft and fond, holding eye contact* If you wish to see my true face, then you must show me yours as well.
–
Lucifer: *smirks, chuckling suggestively* An intoxicating night of Sand Demonus... I am glad that we are the only ones here.
--------
Text chat: Whispering Demons (from The Fantastic Three(3))
--------
Diavolo: The Sand Demonus was delicious, wasn’t it?
Lucifer: I wouldn’t mind having it now and again, but it really does need a warning label.
Lucifer: We were fortunate that Chise was present.
Lucifer: I shudder to think what would have happened if it were only the three of us.
Diavolo: What problem could there be with us showering each other with compliments?
Diavolo: I think it sounds delightful!
Barbatos: 😊
Lucifer: I do regret stealing Chise’s heart that night, though.
Diavolo: Hm?
Diavolo: You must be mistaken. Chise was hanging on to my every word.
Lucifer: I’m sorry, Diavolo, but not even you can match me in the art of seduction.
Barbatos: From my perspective, it seemed that the Young Master’s words resonated most with Chise’s heart.
Lucifer: I see how it is. So you’re advocating for your master instead of yourself?
Lucifer: However, in situations like this, you’ve been known to swoop in and steal the victory.

Obey Me! || Lucifer Devilgram || In Pursuit of Happiness || Spoilers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know I was probably expecting too much out of this Devilgram... but the level of teasing this man is giving has me feeling extremely sexually frustrated (>//_ //<")
Lucifer... a book is not what I wanna see...
If that's not bad enough, we get to this part later on :
Of course! Go ahead! Be my guest! Touch me!
In fact :
But that's all we get, because...
Old man Luci is too tired to continue (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
But don't you dare underestimate us, Lucifer! Even if I was on the verge of passing out, I would still happily welcome your advances lol
The Joy of Doing Nothing
(Charge Mission Newspaper)
––––––––––––––––
Retired Devilgram
Hello all! As a bunch of you know, I’ve been working to translate the code of character animations/audio so that I can transcribe Devilgrams without needing to actually have them in-game. I present to you my first transcription of a Devilgram I don’t have: a Charge Mission ‘gram that is retired, and no longer obtainable in-game.
This Devilgram was released during the Lesson Release Celebration Charge Mission of June 2020, and will not be re-released. I chose this one because I have been desperate for more lore on Lucifer and Simeon’s relationship dynamic with their Celestial Realm history before The Fall. Enjoy!
––––––––––––––––
monSOLO: I wanted to sleep over...
––––––––––––––––
*RAD classroom*
Solomon: *nods with a friendly smile* See you tomorrow, Simeon.
Luke: *sternly* Make sure you eat dinner!
Simeon: *a bit of a pained smile, humming uncertainly* Dinner...? Hmm, perhaps I’ll get some takeout on the way home.
Are you alone this evening?
Simeon: *nods, expression softening* Yes.
–
2. You should try the new menu from Hell’s Burger.
Lucifer: *nods, smiling* That reminds me, Beel mentioned that as well.
Simeon: I suppose it doesn’t hurt to have junk food once in a while.
–
Lucifer: *noise of inquiry* It’s just you?
Simeon: *brows drawn, smiling sheepishly while rubbing his neck* Both Solomon and Luke are staying elsewhere tonight. I’ll have to eat all by myself...
You could come to our place.
Simeon: *perks up with an appreciative smile* Really? I’d love to!
Lucifer: *tuts in exasperated disapproval, arms crossed* Who gave you permission to invite people over?
Simeon: *smiles awkwardly, humming with doubt* You don’t mind, do you?
A) Please, Lucifer!
Simeon: *smiles kindly, amused* Come on, Lucifer. Can you really say no to that adorable expression?
Lucifer: *sighs with a stony expression, arms crossed* …
B) Simeon, ask more cutely!
Simeon: *softens face into a cute little pout, eyes earnest* Pwetty please, Lucy?
Lucifer: *narrows eyes, shaking head with a scoff* Don’t give me those puppy dog eyes! And don’t call me that!
–
2. That does sound lonely.
Simeon: *touches back of neck with a pained smile* Yes. If only...
Lucifer: *crosses arms, brows drawing together in exasperation* Why are you two looking at me like that?
–
Lucifer: …*looks aside with an exasperated sigh of defeat* Hmph... Do as you please.
––––––––
Stn: Simeon is good w...
––––––––
*HOL hallway*
Simeon: *happily smiling*
Lucifer: *sighs quietly, shaking head* …Simeon. I’ve already shown you the guest bedroom. Why are you still following me?
Simeon: *pouts a bit* Did you hear that, Chise? *sighs as he turns his away head to the side, closing eyes with more sulky pouting* Even though I’m staying over tonight, Lucifer wants to leave me on my own.
Come to my room.
Lucifer: Tsk. *narrows eyes with a huff, crossing arms* No. That’s unacceptable. Come to mine. *sighs, shaking head* If word got out that you stayed in Chise’s room, my brothers would have a fit.
Simeon: *smiles so very sweetly, teasing* Is that the only reason?
Lucifer: *narrows eyes* ...What other reason could there be?
Lucifer: *narrows eyes* No means no. If you don’t like it, you can leave.
Simeon: *brows draw together sadly* …
Lucifer: *expression stony* …
Simeon: *big pouty baby* ……
Lucifer: …… *brows draw together in exasperation*
Simeon: *corners of lips downturned, pout pout pout*
Lucifer: ...*scoffs in pissed defeat* All right! Fine! You can stay in my room! Just stop with the eyes.
–
Simeon: *absolutely lights up with a laugh of sheer delight, face shining* Thank you! Why, how many centuries has it been since we last slept together? I’m going to brag to Michael!
Lucifer: ...*haughty* Chise, I’m holding you responsible for this. You’d better come stay over as well.
––––––––
Mammoney: Let me join too!
––––––––
*Lucifer’s bedroom*
Simeon: *smiling sweetly* Lucifer, your tea is getting cold.
Lucifer: Hm.
Simeon: *giggles* I’m going to eat your slice of cake.
Lucifer: Hm.
Simeon: *brows draw together sadly* …
Lucy, are you listening?
Lucifer: *growls darkly, snapping at Simeon * Don’t call me that!
Lucifer: ...Wait, that was you, Chise?
–
2. Hey, look at this bill that Mammon was hiding!
Lucifer: *immediately furious* What?!
–
Simeon: *shakes head fondly with a cheerful laugh* Hehe, you’re pretty good at riling him up, Chise.
Lucifer: *sulky* Hmph... You startled me.
Simeon: *smiles sweetly* Okay, Lucifer. I’m taking these files.
Lucifer: *narrows eyes* Ah... What do you think you’re doing?
Simeon: *expression kindly* I know that you’re really busy with student council work, but I think you need to make some time for being unproductive.
Lucifer: Unproductive?
Loafing around!
Simeon: *noise of fond agreement, eyes crinkling* Like, remember that time you were lounging about on the sofa reading that film critic’s book? You got so absorbed in your reading that you mindlessly ate all the chocolates and blamed Beelzebub afterwards!
Lucifer: *scowls darkly, ticked off* Go home. Never mind Purgatory Hall. Go straight back to the Celestial Realm.
Simeon: *smiles with patient affection* Now, now, no need to get embarrassed! We’re saying that that sort of idle time is important.
Lucifer: *slumps with a defeated sigh* Good grief...
–
2. Goofing off!
Simeon: *cheerful smile* Exactly. Do you remember how we used to take afternoon naps together in the old days?
Lucifer: *reflexively quirks a reluctant smile* Yes, on our way back from our errands for Michael, we’d often find a patch of grass and laze about.
–
Lucifer: *nods reluctantly with a short chuckle* ...Yes. I suppose a little rest and recuperation is important from time to time.
––––––––
L3V1: Ruri-chan movie next!
––––––––
Levi: *smiles with a wave* Here’s the stuff you asked for, Lucifer.
Lucifer: *nods* Good work.
Levi: *beams happily* This is from my special shut-in stash, so you’d better enjoy it.
Simeon: *smiles with a curious hum* What did you ask for?
Lucifer: *stoic, nonchalant* Underworld Popcorn and Little Devil’s Slushy Soda.
Are we going to watch a movie?
Lucifer: *nods* Good guess.
–
2. Now all we need is cake!
Simeon: *hums happily* No, I think a popcorn and soda set can only mean one thing...
–
Lucifer: One of Simeon’s favourite movies happens to be on tonight. *chuckles softly, smiling* Why don’t we enjoy some of that unproductive time you mentioned earlier?
Simeon: *lights up with a delighted smile* Hehe. We could even sleep in tomorrow.
*short time skip*
Lucifer: *inclines head with a relaxed smile* Simeon.
Simeon: *nods cheerfully* Sure.
Without taking his eyes off the screen, Simeon passes the popcorn to Lucifer...
Simeon: *smiles* Hey.
Lucifer: Hm.
Without taking his eyes off the screen, Lucifer reaches for the remote and turns up the volume...
Are you two using telepathy?
Simeon: *raises brows in surprise* Hm? What are you talking about?
–
2. I’m getting jealous here...
Lucifer: *frowns, confused* Hm? Of what?
–
You guys understand each other without saying a word.
Lucifer: *bemused* …We do?
Simeon: *smiles sweetly with a thoughtful hum* Now that you mention it...
–
2. What’s the secret to getting along so well?
Simeon: *frowns thoughtfully* Hmm, I’m not sure. I mean, we’ve known each other for a really long time.
Lucifer: *raises brows with a noise of indignation* Wait, since when do we get along well?
Simeon: *giggly laugh, eyes crinkling happily* We do, don’t we?
Lucifer: *crosses arms, expression exasperated* First I’ve heard of it.
–
Don’t leave me out!
Lucifer: *smirks teasingly* Heh... That’s cute.
Simeon: *laughs in delight, eyes crinkling* Come here, Chise. You can sit between us.
–
2. I wish I had a bestie like that.
Simeon: *smiles affectionately* If you cherish your friends, you’ll eventually become besties like us!
Lucifer: *crosses arms with a sigh, shaking head with narrowed eyes* ...You never shut up, do you?
Simeon: *shoulders shake with his cheerful laughter, smiling wide* Now, now, no need to get embarrassed!
Simeon: *smiling happily* The movie’s starting again.
*time skip*
Simeon: *eye-crinkling smile, happy sigh* Ah, Living Life in the Slow Lane is such an amazing movie. I never get tired of it. What did you think, Chise?
It was relaxing.
Lucifer: *hum of approval, nodding with a relaxed smile* I couldn’t agree more. I feel refreshed.
–
2. I was on the edge of my seat!
Lucifer: *smirks* You always cry at the same parts, don’t you Simeon?
Simeon: *smiles sweetly* You’re one to talk. I know you always get choked up during the ending credits.
Lucifer: *scoffs lightly, shaking head* …Pft.
Simeon: *bursts into cheerful laughter, grinning* Hahaha...
–
Lucifer: *chuckles, smiling* Today’s unproductive time was quite enjoyable.
Simeon: *smiles sweetly* I could come stay over every day if you like, Lucy.
Lucifer: *immediately scowls* ...I’ve changed my mind. Go home.
End.

Simeon: *patient smile* Oh, don’t be so blue, Lucifer!
Are you all right?
Simeon: Hello, Chise. I see you’ve come.
Lucifer: *frown* …Do I look all right to you?
–
2. I’ll pretend I didn’t see that.
Simeon: *surprised* Hm? When did you get here, Chise?
Lucifer: I didn’t hear you come in. Where exactly do you think you’re going?
Simeon: Lucifer’s feeling a bit upset at the moment. Would you help me cheer him up?
Lucifer: *glare* I don’t need “cheering up.”
Simeon: *patient smile* Now, now.
Simeon: You see, we’ve received news that Raphael is visiting us from the Celestial Realm. I, for one, can’t wait to see him. Lucifer, on the other hand…
I’m excited too!
Lucifer: Don’t you start. There is absolutely nothing to be excited about.
Simeon: I don’t believe you’ve met him yet, have you, Chise? I’m sure you two will get along just fine. I can make the introductions, so would you like to join us for dinner tomorrow?
Lucifer: *sulking* You two can go by yourselves. I shall be sitting this one out.
Simeon: *sad* That won’t do, Lucifer! You have to be there too!
–
2. What’s Raphael doing here?
Lucifer: *more scowling* Good question. What indeed?
Simeon: You haven’t met him yet, right, Chise? I can make the introductions once he’s here.
–
Lucifer: Why is he even visiting us in the first place? Surely, there’s no need for us to meet face-to-face.
--------
Belphie: Raphael DOES like his sermons.
--------
Simeon: Why are you so reluctant to see him? He was your brother once upon a time.
Lucifer: *head shake* And that is no longer the case–“was” being the operative word.
Simeon: *sad* But you were so close.
What happened?
Simeon: Well… Lucifer, do you mind if I tell Chise what happened between you and Raphael?
Lucifer: *pretending unconcern, but actually sulking* Say what you will, I don’t care.
–
2. Are you secretly embarrassed to meet him?
Lucifer: I see you have seriously misconstrued my words.
Simeon: That’s exactly what I thought too, Chise.
Lucifer: That’s not true in the slightest. I have many reasons, but embarrassment is not one of them.
Simeon: Still, I understand how it must be awkward for you.
–
Simeon: …Raphael is a seraphim, the same as Michael and Lucifer. Being the youngest of the three, he looked up to and adored his older brothers to no end. …That is, until the Great Celestial War began. At the outbreak of the war, everyone was forced to choose sides between Lucifer and Michael. Raphael was no exception. In the end, Raphael chose Michael.
Lucifer: …
Simeon: To be honest, I was rather taken aback by his decision. I was sure that he would pick you, Lucifer.
Lucifer: Knowing him… He probably hasn’t forgiven me yet for what happened.
Simeon: *sad* Perhaps… The fact that you haven’t seen each other at all since the war doesn’t help either.
Why not apologize to Raphael when you see him?
Lucifer: *glare* Me, apologize? And what, pray tell, do I have to apologize for?
Simeon: *grimace* Ouch, Chise. You really hit a nerve with that one…
–
2. Wow, that IS awkward.
Lucifer: And now you understand why I loathe this situation.
Simeon: *reluctant* Still, I can understand where both of you are coming from.
–
Lucifer: Besides, even if I decide to meet him, I’m sure all I’ll get is a lengthy sermon. *bitter* He does so enjoy dishing them out.
Simeon: Who knows? It could be his way of showing affection.
Lucifer: If so, his attempts are severely misguided.
Simeon: *sigh* …Even so, you must come tomorrow. Surely, you wouldn’t miss a chance to dine with us?
Lucifer: Drop it, I said.
Simeon: *soft smile* If you won’t come willingly, then I’ll simply have to drag you there.
Lucifer: It’s no use trying to bluff your way out. I can tell from your face that you’re lying. You will join me tomorrow.
–
You want me to come along?
Lucifer: Yes. Your company will be a welcome distraction.
Simeon: Good call. Having Chise there might help keep things cool.
–
2. You want me to help you deter Raphael?
Lucifer: As much as I wish that were the case… No. You’re to accompany me when we meet him tomorrow.
Simeon: There’s an idea. Chise’s presence can distract Raphael from having to talk to Lucifer.
–
Lucifer: You’re to join us tomorrow, understood?
--------
Beelzeburger: I want to eat Luke and Sime…
--------
*outside HOL*
Simeon: *concerned* Wait, Chise! It’s late. I’ll walk you back.
Nah, it’s fine. I’ll be okay.
Simeon: *apologetic smile* Please, I insist. There’s something I want to talk to you about.
–
2. Thanks, I’d like that.
Simeon: *smile* Great. I wanted to have a word with you in private.
–
Simeon: Thank you back there for your help with Lucifer. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting him to be so against the idea of meeting Raphael. Long-winded lectures, awkwardness over the situation with Michael… Normally, that sort of thing doesn’t bother Lucifer. So, I was thinking there might be something else. Some deeper reason why Lucifer doesn’t want to meet Raphael.
Simeon: *grimace* Well, I think I have a general idea of what it might be. But after observing Lucifer’s behaviour in the Devildom, I’ve come to realize that he’s still fundamentally the same person at his core. So I’m not too worried. *smile* Still, I’d appreciate it if you could give me a hand in helping him tomorrow. I’m certain Raphael has more than a few things to say to him.
Leave it to me!
Simeon: I knew I could trust you with this. Lucifer was right to have you accompany him.
–
2. I don’t know if I can be of any help.
Simeon: Don’t worry. You just have to be there and stand up for Lucifer when necessary.
–
Luke: *pant* *pant* I might have gone overboard with the shopping…
Solomon: *patient smile* What did I tell you?
Luke: Hm…? Chise! Simeon!
Simeon: You’re late, Luke.
Luke: There were just too many dishes I wanted Raphael to try during his first visit to the Devildom, and it took a while to buy all the ingredients.
Simeon: *taken aback* Do you mean to say these are all for Raphael’s welcome party?
Luke: Yeah… *unsure* I guess I might have bought too much, huh?
Simeon: *amused* Haha, I’m sure he’ll appreciate the thought.
Luke: *perks up* I wasn’t sure how I would manage at first, but luckily, I ran into Solomon on the way home. He helped me carry the bags all the way here.
Simeon: *nod* Thank you for that, Solomon.
Solomon: *pleasant smile* It’s no trouble at all.
You’re really kind, Solomon.
Solomon: *delighted* I just happened to bump into him on my way to pick you up, that’s all.
–
2. Looking forward to the food tomorrow!
Luke: *excited* Just watch! I’m going to make all the awesome meals and sweets I’ve tasted here in the Devildom! I had Barbatos teach me all the recipes! That being said, Simeon will be doing most of the cooking…
Simeon: You’re not just a helper anymore, Luke. Look at all those delicious desserts you’ve been making.
Luke: *smile* Really? That means a lot coming from you, Simeon.
–
Solomon: *serious* So, Raphaels’ coming, is he…?
Simeon: Wait, do you know him by any chance, Solomon? Would you like to join us tomorrow?
Solomon: *smile* Are you sure? Well then, I wouldn’t refuse an invitation.
Luke: *beaming* The more, the merrier! Plus, I did get all these groceries, so we need all the help we can get!
Solomon: Shall we get going then, Chise?
Simeon: We’ll see you tomorrow, okay?
Luke: Bye!
*Simeon & Luke leave**
Solomon: So, Raphael did visit the Devildom in the past. Or is it our presence that’s somehow changed things? Either way, it seems like it’ll be Raphael’s first time seeing the brothers since the war. It may be a good opportunity for them.
I agree.
Solomon: I hope their relations can change for the better. I’m sure your presence will help lessen the tension too.
–
2. Are you sure things won’t get complicated?
Solomon: *worried* It’s hard to say for sure. Both of them are pretty stubborn, after all… I doubt anything disastrous will happen, though. *relaxes, smiles* Besides, you’ll be there. I’m sure you’ll work your magic.
–
Solomon: *wider smile* Tomorrow promises to be exciting.
--------
monSOLO: Job well done.
--------
*HOL dining room*
Simeon: Thank you for coming today, everyone. Chise, Solomon, I’d like you to meet Raphael.
Raphael: *nod* Pleased to meet you.
Long time no see!
Raphael: Excuse me…? I’m sorry, have we met?
Solomon: *jumps* Oh, sorry about that! *patient smile* That’s just how Chise and I greet friends within our circle. We say stuff like that–regardless of whether we’ve met before–as a means of breaking the ice.
Raphael: …What a peculiar tradition.
–
2. Likewise, Raphael.
Raphael: So you are Chise. Simeon’s told me so much about you.
Simeon: *smiling fondly* Chise’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever encountered! I’m sure you’ll quickly be friends.
Raphael: *exasperated* And when have any of your acquaintances not been nice? You say the same thing about every single person you introduce me to. Anyway, it’s nice to meet you.
–
Lucifer: It’s been a while since we last met.
Raphael: …In more ways than one. Where are your brothers, by the way?
Lucifer: Out and about, running errands for Diavolo.
Raphael: I’ll take that to mean they’ve successfully excused themselves for the day.
Lucifer: *resigned* …Indeed, it would seem so.
Raphael: Cowering in their boots that I’ll rain my spears down upon them? They haven’t changed one bit, have they? They’re right, though. I did intend on doing as much.
Th-That’s terrifying…!
Raphael: Sorry, I didn’t catch that.
Simeon: *touching back of neck with nervous smile* C-Catch what? I didn’t hear anything! Isn’t that right, Chise?
Raphael: …If you say so. Let’s move along then.
–
2. Exactly. They’re always like that.
Raphael: You seem to know them well.
Lucifer: No surprise there, considering how they give Chise no shortage of trouble at the House of Lamentation.
Raphael: Interesting. I didn’t think anyone besides you and I was capable of putting up with their nonsense.
–
Raphael: Truth be told, however, I’m only here to check on Simeon and Luke, not on you or your brothers.
Lucifer: *frown* In that case, I see no reason to offer my hospitality.
Luke: *nervous* I-Is it just me, or did it suddenly get colder in here…?
Solomon: *pained smile* It feels like the Devildom’s about to freeze over.
Simeon: *also pained smile* A-Anyway, why don’t we go ahead and eat?!
Luke: *nod* Y-Yeah, great idea! *perks up* Simeon replicated the Devildom dishes I thought were tasty AND recreated some Celestial food using Devildom ingredients!
Raphael: How fascinating.
Lucifer: I can’t remember the last time I had food from the Celestial Realm. I’m impressed you were able to recreate them with ingredients from the Devildom.
Simeon: *nod* I did my best to ensure the flavours were close to the original, so it should be to your liking. Here you go, Chise. This is for you.
Thank you.
Lucifer: *surprised* …Hm.
Luke: Hmm?
Simeon: *shocked* Urk…?!
Lucifer: *in disgust* Bleugh!
Simeon: Ack…! *cough* *cough*
Luke: UUUUGH!
Solomon: *innocent confusion* Hm? What’s wrong?
Lucifer: *dismayed* M-My tongue feels as though it’s on fire…!
Simeon: How on earth did this happen?! It was perfectly fine when I tasted it earlier!
Luke: This is it… I’m… done for… Everything’s fading… to black…
Was it the ingredients?
Simeon: It can’t be… Like I said, I made sure to taste everything, and besides, none of the seasonings I used could possibly create this sort of flavour.
Luke: Who was the last person to work on this?
Solomon: *delighted smile* Me. I thought the flavour was lacking, so I put a few things in.
–
2. Solomon, did you do something?
Solomon: *delighted smile* I did. I thought the flavour was lacking, so I tossed in a few extra spices.
–
Lucifer: *scowling* Ugh…! That explains things!
Luke: How you managed to do this with seasoning alone is beyond me…
Simeon: *eyes widen* This is bad…! Who knows what Raphael will tell Michael if he finds out we’ve been eating this sort of food…?
We need to trick him.
Simeon: *unsure* Trick him? But how? He’s already eating.
–
2. We’ve got to keep him from blabbing.
Lucifer: *serious* That appears to be our only choice. How shall we go about silencing him?
Simeon: W-Wait! Isn’t there some other way? Something less violent?
Lucifer: It’s too late now. He’s already taken a bite.
–
Raphael: …
Simeon: *nervous smile* Er, Raphael…?
Raphael: …What is this?
Simeon: I can explain…
Raphael: *smiles* It tastes absolutely divine!
Simeon: *taken aback* What?
Lucifer: Has he gone mad?
Raphael: *munch* *munch* *gulp* …This is delicious! Does every meal in the Devildom taste like this? These Celestial dishes recreated with Devildom ingredients are *munch* *munch* really good too. They taste almost like the real thing. *happy smile* It looks like I’ll have to change my assessment of the Devildom. *slurp*
Simeon: *uncertain smile* I’m not sure what just happened, but… I guess we’re okay?
Lucifer: *in disbelief* He’s practically inhaling his food…
Luke: Does he even have taste buds? I’m not sure what to think of him anymore…
Raphael: I’ll have another serving, please.
Simeon: W-Well… As long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters.
Lucifer: *cracks a smile* Pfft… *chuckle* Look at you, stuffing your face like a child.
Raphael: There’s no need to mock me. Why don’t you hurry up and eat too?
Lucifer: It’s all right. I’ve had my fill. You can have my plate.
Raphael: *smile* Fine. No take backs.
Lucifer: *fond chuckle*
Simeon: *soft excitement* Is it just me, or do they seem to be getting along…?
Solomon: *grinning* I’m so glad I added those extra seasonings.
Lucifer: *scowl, head shake* Don’t you EVER do that again, you hear me?
Solomon: *jumps in surprise* Huh? But why?

Text chat: Fab Snap 1 (from House of Lamentation (New)(8))

Asmo: Attention, everyone!
Asmo: I, Asmodeus, have been selected as the official Ambassador for Fab Snap!
Asmo: 😍
Good for you.
Uh-huh.
Levi: LMAO I’m dying at how unimpressed Chise sounds.
Asmo: Wait, why aren’t the REST of you saying anything?!
Asmo: Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of Fab Snap?!
Asmo: Gosh, you’re all hopeless. Listen, Fab Snap is…
Levi: Uh, hello? We have accounts too. In fact, YOU’RE the one that made them for us.
Mammon: Just how observant can ya be?
Mammon: Anyway, I don’t really get what an ambassador is.
Satan: They’re essentially a spokesperson for a brand if I’m not mistaken.
Asmo: I can’t believe you don’t know how amazing it is to be chosen as an ambassador for Fab Snap.
Thank you so much to @kroskimk for another video submission! ...Given that this Devilgram takes place *before* MC finds themselves whisked away to the Devildom, this is some pretty damn early Dialuci "SUBTEXT."
...I'm screaming. Analysis in tags.
––––––––––––––––
AsmoBaby: Beel's an A-Clas...
––––––––––––––––
*party venue, cheers and applause sounding*
Asmo: *gasps in delight, smiling wide* Ooh, Lucifer! Take a look at that! Those girls over there are hitting on Beel!
Lucifer: *blank and disinterested* So what?
Beel: …
Beel: …
Asmo: *smile fades into confusion* Wait a minute. The girls... They left...
Lucifer: *nods absently* Right, whatever Asmo. Now, hurry up and take those mixed nuts over to him.
Asmo: *nods back with a smile* Okay.
*fade for Asmo to approach Beel*
Asmo: *smiles cheerfully* Here you go, Beel. Sorry for the wait.
Beel: *shoulders slump with pained relief* That took forever. I was dying here.
Asmo: *giggles conspiratorially* So, what were you talking about with those girls just now?
Beel: *munch* *munch* They came over to ask me if they could sit here and drink with me, but I let them know that there were plenty of open tables over that way. *much* *munch*
Asmo: *shakes head with a perplexed gasp* What?! I can’t believe it!
Beel: *munch* *munch* *munch*
Asmo: Don’t tell me that you didn’t realize that they were trying to flirt with you?!
Beel: *munch* *munch* …?
Asmo: Oh my... So you really didn’t realize…? *sighs despondently, expression pained with sympathy* Those poor girls... If they’d only come over to talk to me instead of Mr. Antisocial here, I would’ve made sure that they had the night of their dreams. *pouts* That succubus had a pretty nice derriere.
Lucifer: *chuckles with a fond, teasing smirk* I think they were interested in Beel because he doesn’t chase after every girl he sees.
Asmo: *whines, poutily shaking head* Lucifer! That’s so meeean... It almost sounds like you’re suggesting that I chase after every girl I see.
Asmo: Anyway, I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Beel is popular with the ladies. He’s my little brother, after all. *smiles fondly* He’s not here today, but I’ve heard a rumour that Belphie is actually pretty popular as well.
Lucifer: *glances to the side with a sigh* Hmm. It would seem that our youngest brothers aren’t the only ones who attract a female following.
Asmo: Huh?
––––––––
DDSimeon: Everyone's so di...
––––––––
Mammon: *hands on hips with his relaxed, lopsided smirk, laughing* …
Satan: *hums thoughtfully* …
Levi: *shifts weight with hunched shoulders, peeking out from under fringe with shy discomfort* …
Asmo: *perks up with a wide-eyed gasp of shock* Wow...you’re right. All three of them are surrounded by girls! I have to say though, I’m surprised that even Levi came. Usually when you invite him someplace like this, he turns you down before you can even get the words out.
Beel: *nods* Mammon convinced him to come out by lying to him. He said that they were having TSL Night here...a Tale of the Seven Lords fan event.
Asmo: *sighs sympathetically* The poor thing. Just look at the way Levi’s frowning. He looks so tense. He’s always been bad in social situations, and now with all of those sexy succubi hovering around trying to seduce him, he looks like his head is about to explode.
Beel: *shakes head, expression worried* He’ll probably keep himself holed up in his room for a good long while after tonight.
Lucifer: *chuckles with a smile* Asmo, what do you say you go and help your poor older brother deal with all of this unwanted attention?
Asmo: *hums with a nod* Well, I suppose I could do that, but I can’t help thinking it really is strange... Levi’s attracting the mature and conservative types, Mammon, the sassy and outgoing types, and Satan, the smart and thoughtful types.
Lucifer: *hums thoughtfully* Well, it’s only natural. Considering each one of them is so different.
Asmo: *perks up with a giggle* Well sure, but I attract every type! 🩷
Beel: *sighs, brows drawing together judgmentally* You should learn to be a little more selective.
Lucifer: *nods dryly* Yes. I completely agree.
Asmo: *scoffs, scowling defensively* Ugh, I swear, you two are no fun! And I do have preferences, you know. It’s not like I don’t care. *perks up again with a cheerful, musical hum* I suppose you could say I attract people who I have something in common with? You know, good-looking people. That’s who tend to flock to me.
Asmo: Also, I’m someone who has a lot of love to give. I’m overflowing with it! *beams* I feel like as long as I have so much love to give, I should be fair and give everyone an equal share!
Lucifer: *hums doubtfully, expression of deeply disappointed (and defeated) exasperation* You know, you almost sound like an angel right now. Until one considers the context, that is.
––––––––
Lucifer: I don't recall ma...
––––––––
Asmo: *smiles sweetly* Well, what about you, Lucifer? You have a lot of female fans. Even among us brothers, you must rank near the top.
Lucifer: *hums vaguely, arms crossed* Oh, I don’t know...perhaps?
Beel: *nods* You’re so popular, and yet no one comes up to talk to you.
Lucifer: *looks away with a short, testy sigh, clearly uncomfortable* True. I don’t remember ever having person after person come up to flirt with me like the rest of you.
Asmo: *hums thoughtfully, confused* Huh. I wonder why...
Beel: *casual, matter-of-fact* Because Lucifer’s only interested in Lord Diavolo.
Lucifer: *immediately looks back to scowl furiously, shaking head with a pissy growl* ...Don’t make it sound weird.
Asmo: *bursts out laughing, grinning wide* Ooh, yes! I know what you mean! *beaming happily* You can’t flirt with someone when you know their heart will always belong to someone else, can you?
Beel: *smiles warmly for the first time in this whole Devilgram* Nope, you sure can’t.
Lucifer: *glowering darkly* Now hold on a second...
(Helpful dialogue highlight courtesy of our esteemed submitter)
Beel: *looks down with a sulky pout* I want to learn how to be like Lucifer. I want to keep people from approaching me, too.
(^ Beel really did just cut Lucifer off to say "Anyway, now that we've firmly established that as the truth,")
Lucifer: *steaming so hard he could cook up a batch of dumplings for the whole party* Don’t make it sound like I’ve got some sort of magic barrier around me that repels people, Beel.
(The permanent reproachful scowl doesn't help bbg)
Lucifer: *grimly (desperately) changes the subject* Now then...Beel, how’s your team been doing lately?
Beel: *smiles* We’ve had a few people leave and a few join, but things have been going really—
Asmo: *shakes head with noise of protest* Whoa whoa whoa whoa! I’m not going to let you two just change the subject like that! *smiles* We almost never talk about stuff like this. Let’s not stop now!
Beel: Stuff like what?
Asmo: *giggles, heart sparkles* About how popular we are with the ladies, of course! What else?!
––––––––
Beelzeburger: So this is h...
––––––––
Asmo: So, tell me, out of us brothers, who do you two think is the most popular?
Lucifer: *shakes head with a resigned sigh* I’d say we’re all about equal there.
Beel: ...Maybe Belphie?
Asmo: *hums triumphantly, smile beaming* Oh no no no. You want to know what makes my Devilgram account go crazy? What makes the likes roll in? *grinning, happy sparkles* Posting pictures of you two, that’s what! Posting pictures of you two, that’s what!
Lucifer: *brows draw together with a reluctant sigh* What sort of pictures have you been posting, exactly?
Beel: *straightens with wide-eyed concern* Not to mention without our permission.
Asmo: *giggles* Heheh, sorryyy! But don’t worry. I haven’t posted anything embarrassing! *beams cheerfully* Since I get so many likes when I post pictures of you, I’ve started doing it more and more, you know? Also, we need people to like their student council officers. And to do that, I need to provide a little fan service, don’t I?
Asmo: So, with that said, let’s take a selfie! Come on you two, come closer! Don’t be shy! Now...pose for the camera!
*flash of white, camera shutter*
Asmo: *giggles in delight* Good, that came out well! Now I’ll prove to you two just how popular you are!
Asmo: Okay, let me just upload it to Devilgram... There!
*ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!*
Asmo: See, take a look at that. Impressive, huh? I’ve only just posted it, and already the likes are pouring in.
Beel: *expression falls into a pout of discomfort* I guess it is pretty impressive, yeah...
Lucifer: I must say, it’s odd.
Asmo: *giggles in delight* Hehehe, so...there’s your proof that people are interested in us.
*ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!*
Asmo: *hums in musical triumph* Because as you can see, we’re getting a lot of comments, too!
Asmo: Just to read a few, we have...“Beautiful!” “Excellent!” “What a perfect trio!” “Asmo is so CUTE!” “I want to meet Asmo IRL!” “More pictures of Asmo!” “Asmo I love you love you looooove you!
Asmo: *startles with sheer, wide-eyed shock of realization* Wait a minute. An awful lot of these seem to be about me, now don’t they? Which means that based on the evidence we have here… *wiggles with a triumphant hum, beaming heart sparkles* ...I guess that out of all of us, I’m actually the most popular?
*ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!*
Lucifer: *shakes head in resigned exasperation* This was your plan from the beginning, wasn’t it? You only wanted to say that.
Beel: *nods seriously* I’m not surprised a lot of people are commenting about you, Asmo. It’s your account...
*ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!*
Asmo: *giggling to himself, beaming with pride* Hehehe!

Text chat: Giga Shark vs. Ultra Shark (from 345(3))
Lucifer: *through the door* May I have some of your time, Chise?
*door opens*
Lucifer: *enters with a tired sigh of defeat, arms crossed* Something has come up. Diavolo called me over to the Demon Lord’s Castle. There, he gave me a task and I will need your help.
Lucifer: *noise of sulky annoyance, Lucifer-style pouting* It will be difficult to complete alone, and Diavolo gave his permission for me to find someone to assist. *smiles teasingly* If you’ll agree to assist me, then I shall divulge the details.
Is there a reward?
Lucifer: *glares grumpily* ...You’re surprisingly cunning. But of course, I will prepare a fitting reward for your help.
–
2. I’ll do anything for you, Lucifer!
Lucifer: *noise of amusement, smiling appreciatively* Heh, is that so? My, how charming.
–
Lucifer: Diavolo has reviewed the deeds of my idiot brothers and has determined that they have done well this year. *grimaces* So, he wants to send gifts to all of them. *grimaces even more, 'tch' of sulky annoyance* Furthermore, he wants the gifts to be delivered when they are asleep.
Why’s that?
Lucifer: *sighs heavily* Surely you must know, given the time of the year... Christmas comes hand in hand with Santa Claus.
–
2. Like…Santa Claus?!
Lucifer: *nods sulkily* That’s right... I’m in a terrible bind.
–
Lucifer: Diavolo wants to play the role of Santa. *shakes head sadly* But unfortunately, I will be the one delivering the presents.
Lucifer: *scowls grumpily* I’m in disbelief... To think Diavolo would think up such a scheme... *shakes head* Hmph. We attempted to play the role of Santa in the past, but this time, it’s for my idiot brothers... *hums in defeat* It has become quite the headache...
You should just tell him no...
Lucifer: *flat, stubborn glare* I cannot do that.
–
2. Cheer up! I’ll be helping you!
Lucifer: …*nods, smiling* Right. Complaining won’t change the reality of it. Thank you, Chise.
–
Lucifer: Now, where should we start...?
We need Santa costumes.
Lucifer: *eyes widen in surprise* Santa costumes, you say? *scowls darkly* You want me to put on a Santa costume? You cannot be so foolish as to think I’d agree. First off, we should research what my brothers want.
–
2. We should research what the brothers want.
Lucifer: *nods* You’re right. That’s a good place to start. *smiles* I’ll be counting on you, Chise.
–
Lucifer: *grimaces doubtfully* They will suspect something if I ask them such a question. I will have to leave the research up to you. *smiles fondly* Thank you, Chise. I’m counting on you.
––––––––
monSOLO: That’s so suspicious.
––––––––
*HOL dining room*
Mammon: *laughs, grinning* So then, like, Asmo said...
Asmo: *scowls darkly* Hey! I told you not to mention that again!
Lucifer: *looks around the room* ...Mgh...! *smirks secretively with a nod of encouragement* Chise...
Hey, is there something everyone wants?
Mammon: *raises brows in confusion* Huh? What’s this all of a sudden?
Lucifer: *sighs* Chise... You’re terrible at being discrete...
–
2. It’s almost Christmas, huh?
Mammon: *beams with excitement* Oh, yeah! You’re right!
Asmo: *giggles happily* We pretended to be Santa last year and gave out presents...
2. A) What if you were the one receiving presents this year?
Asmo: *hums thoughtfully* Hmm... Yeah, let me think... What would I want?
Lucifer: *smiles with approval* Good going, Chise. Very well done.
–
2. B) Are there any presents you’d want?
Mammon: *grins excitedly* Are you givin’ me a gift?!
Lucifer: *exasperated* Tch! That question was much too straightforward...
–
Mammon: *smiles behind fingers* I have my eyes on these high-grade wireless earphones!
Asmo: *hums musically, smiling* As for me, I want a basket of expensive and luxurious body soaps!
Belphie: *hums quietly with a little smile* I just want a high-grade mattress. One that makes you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud.
Satan: *nods cheerfully* I want the first edition of the Devotions of Darkness book. It’s very rare.
Levi: *raises hand with a grin* I want the newest graphic card that just went on sale! With the one I have right now, my computer can’t run FPS200 smoothly...
Beel: *smiles sweetly* I...want premium quality beef from the human world.
What about you, Lucifer?
Lucifer: *raises brows, confused* Why are you asking me...?
Asmo: Come on, Lucifer! Spill!
–
2. Thank you, everyone.
Asmo: *holds up hands in protest* Wait! Lucifer, what about you? What do you want?
Lucifer: *smiles indulgently, shaking head* You don’t have to ask me.
Mammon: *frowns* Why?! Everyone already said what they want, let’s hear what you have your eyes on!
–
Lucifer: *looks down with a sigh of defeat* ...I’d like the new piano compilation that recently came out on record. *smiles, making eye contact* And what about you, Chise? Is there something you want?
I don’t want anything.
Mammon: *wide-eyed disbelief* You can’t be serious! You have no greed, at all! I can’t understand that...
Belphie: *sighs, exasperated* That’s true. Mammon would never understand, ever.
–
2. Grimm.
Mammon: *beams approvingly* Oh, nice choice! I want Grimm the most too!
Lucifer: *exasperated sigh* Both of you need to set higher goals for yourselves...
–
*fade to HOL foyer*
Lucifer: *tired sigh* Somehow, we were able to put together a wish list for everyone. Thank you. *smiles engagingly* Next, we should go shopping. Will you accompany me?
––––––––
ButlerBarb: What a very large packs...
––––––––
*Devildom cityscape view*
Lucifer: *raises brows in surprise* What is all this? The whole street is lit up with lights and the trees are decorated red and green. It appears that Diavolo’s Christmas party from last year turned into an annual trend.
This is great.
Lucifer: *smiles* True, the festivities are not a bad thing. The sharing of cultures with each other provides some excitement, I suppose.
–
2. You don’t like it?
Lucifer: *shakes head, uncertain* It’s not that I don’t like it. I believe it’s important to learn about and share cultures. *narrows eyes* But it’s also important to value the traditions we have here in the Devildom.
–
*fade to shop*
Lucifer: *smiling* Now first, we need to obtain some wireless earphones... It’s just like Mammon to follow the latest fads. These earphones are the latest in the market... Shall we give it a try?
Lucifer: *raises brows in genuine surprise* ...Impressive. The sound quality is beautifully clear. There is no noise at all. I had no idea that earphones have advanced so far...
*time skip*
Lucifer: *shakes head in shock* You must be joking... Do they honestly think that this soap is worth 10,000 Grimm? Although, the sample I used on the back of my hand does make it feel quite smooth... *smiles* And it gives off a wonderful scent.
*time skip*
Lucifer: *surprised yet again* ...This mattress really does feel like I’m sleeping on clouds. *hums, smiling self-consciously* A mattress like this would give anyone a good night’s sleep...
*time skip*
Lucifer: *relaxed smile* We have gathered most of the gifts... For Levi, Satan and Beel, we’ll have to use Akuzon...
Lucifer: *smiles turns amused, teasing* ...What are you looking at? A Santa costume...?
Let’s buy it.
Lucifer: *amused smile* You want to dress up that badly? *nods, eyes soft* Very well...
*time skip*
Lucifer: *chuckles with doting affection, with a you-look-adorable smile* The Santa suit looks quite good on you.
A) Thank you.
Lucifer: *sighs* I didn’t think you were serious about wearing it... What am I going to do with you?
B) Where’s yours, Lucifer?
Lucifer: *shakes head, exasperated* You’re the one who wanted it.
–
2. It’s nothing.
Lucifer: Is that so? Very well. *shakes head with a frown of suspicion* If you want the Santa costume that badly, then...you can wear it yourself.
–
Lucifer: Now let’s return home. *frowns* ...What? Is there somewhere you want to visit first?
You go on ahead.
Lucifer: *smirks knowingly* Suit yourself... Be careful on your own.
–
2. Wait here for me, okay?
Lucifer: *narrows eyes* You’re going to make me wait for you while you run off to do your own shopping? You have some nerve. ...Make it quick.
–
*MC runs off*
Lucifer: *smiles with a fond, exasperated sigh, arms crossed* It’s probably a present for me... Heh. Chise isn’t very good at keeping secrets.
––––––––
DDSimeon: I wish I'd gotten one.
––––––––
*HOL foyer*
Lucifer: *smiles, sigh of satisfaction* Very good... They are all asleep. Chise, wear these shoes. *fond, secretive look* They are enchanted with magic to keep your body hidden from the naked eye. Think of it as a contingency plan.
You’re not wearing the Santa suit?
Lucifer: *frowns in irritation, shaking head* How many times must I tell you that I refuse to wear that thing?
–
2. Whoaaaaaa!
Lucifer: *sighs admonishingly* I’m glad you’re excited, but please be quiet. You don’t want to wake them.
–
Lucifer: Let us begin.
*fade to Mammon’s bedroom*
Lucifer: First, Mammon’s present will go here... Hm? *raises brows in surprise* What is this? A stocking? ...Did he...prepare for Santa’s present?
Aww, how cute.
Lucifer: *shakes head, scowling* I don’t see what’s so cute about it... Rather assumptive of him.
–
2. Santa doesn’t visit naughty boys, though...
Lucifer: *sighs in defeat* This is an exception...
–
*fade to Asmo’s bedroom*
Lucifer: *smiles fondly* Next is Asmo...
Asmo: Mmm... Who’s the fairest...of them all...? Meee...
Lucifer: …*smile turns to a look of irritation* Even in his dreams, his ego knows no bounds. *grimaces* Perhaps he can use this soap to wash away some of that narcissism of his...
*fade to Satan’s bedroom*
Lucifer: *exasperated* To think he places so much value on such an old, dusty book. …*nods with a relenting smile* I suppose my records aren’t that much different. I can understand the appeal.
*fade to Levi’s bedroom*
Lucifer: *hums, puzzled* The graphic card will go here... I never thought he’d want something like this as a gift... Does he plan on installing it himself? Oh well, that is not my problem.
*fade to the twins’ bedroom*
Lucifer: *smiles* We’ll bring the mattress in with magic...
Lucifer: *sighs* Phew, I’m exhausted... *frowns* Now, the premium beef... Is this really all he wanted?
Lucifer: …*smile of satisfaction* All right, that should be all of them. Let us leave quietly, not to wake them.
*fade to HOL hallway*
Lucifer: *sighs*... That was exhausting...
I’m glad everything went as planned.
Lucifer: Indeed. And it’s all thanks to you. Thank you. *smiles suggestively* ...Why don’t we head to my room for a short while?
–
2. Where’s my reward?
Lucifer: *shakes head, exasperated*You’ll have to wait. There’s no need to rush. *smiles suggestively* Come with me to my room first.
––
Am I getting lectured?
Lucifer: *smirks teasingly* Did you do something that would warrant a lecture? Hm? I jest. There is no need to worry.
–
2. Okay.
Lucifer: *smirks* Come with me then.
*fade to Lucifer’s bedroom*
Lucifer: *warmly* Come in. I made quite the preparation for you.
It feels a little different...
Lucifer: *nods* I didn’t do too much, but I wanted to throw a small party.
–
2. Are we going to have a party?
Lucifer: *nods* That’s right. That’s why I put candles around the room as well. *smiles affectionately* It’s a party just for you and me.
–
Lucifer: *sincere warmth, affectionate* Thank you for all your help today. To be honest, Diavolo suggested preparing a present for you as well, but I had turned down that idea.
Why?
Lucifer: I didn’t refuse on the basis of not wanting to give you anything at all.
–
2. Does that mean...?
Lucifer: *nods* Indeed. It’s exactly what you think.
–
Lucifer: *chuckles softly* This is your present...from me. Open it.
*ribbon pulled*
Lucifer: It’s a snow globe. You were staring at it when we were shopping, weren’t you?
Thank you!
Lucifer: *eyes crinkle in delight, clearly pleased* I shall give you an even better present next year. So please, tell me what you want for next year.
–
2. You really didn’t have to get me anything...
Lucifer: *shakes head* Even so, I wanted to give you something physical as a gift. *smiles, sincere eye contact* It’s nothing extravagant, but I hope you’ll accept it.
–
Lucifer: *brows draw together in concern* Hm? What is it? *smiles in realization* ...You got me a gift?
*ribbon pulled*
Lucifer: *lights up, eyes crinkling happily* This is...the new piano record. *chuckles in warm amusement* Was this meant to be a surprise? I knew the instant you left to buy it.
Oh, that’s too bad...
Lucifer: *flirtatious teasing* You will need to plan some more if you intend to surprise me.
–
2. I can’t hide anything from you, Lucifer!
Lucifer: *tuts* You were too obvious. Anyone would’ve realized.
–
Lucifer: ...But, thank you. Let us listen to it right away.
*soft music plays*
Lucifer: *relaxed, holding gaze* ...What a beautiful song. By the way, I have another gift for you too.
Is it a kiss?
Lucifer: *nods, eyes soft* Exactly...
*closes eyes, kissing Lucifer*
Lucifer: Mn...
Lucifer: *eyes soft with longing, blush rising to cheeks* But wait... There’s more. *smiles suggestively, holding gaze* ...You want more presents, don’t you?
A) I do...
Lucifer: *smiles softly* I knew it... Mm...
Lucifer: *chuckles* *gaze suggestive, clearly aroused* I will give you everything you want tonight...
–
B) I’ve received enough gifts from you.
Lucifer: *tuts, shaking head* No need to hold back. *smiles hopefully* Christmas eve has only begun.
–
2. There’s more?
Lucifer: *light exasperation* What’s with that face, full of anticipation? Perhaps I should wait before I give you any more...
Lucifer: *smiles teasingly* ...Very well. I shall keep this present to myself for the time being.

Text chat (OG-exclusive): A Christmas for Two (from Lucifer)
––––––––
Lucifer: Thank you for today.
Lucifer: Your help was greatly appreciated.
Lucifer: And thank you for the gift.
Lucifer: I’m sure if the others found out about you getting me a gift, they would be up in arms.
It’s a secret, okay?
Lucifer: Of course.
Lucifer: I would like to avoid any trouble.
–
2. Maybe I should tell them?
Lucifer: Please don’t.
Lucifer: It will only bring you greater trouble.
–
Lucifer: If it wasn’t for Diavolo’s plans, we would never have been able to spend Christmas night together alone.
Lucifer: With that in mind, I suppose it was worth all the trouble.
Lucifer: Besides, playing Santa wasn’t all that bad.
Lucifer: I’m sure they will all be shocked when they wake in the morning.
I’m so excited.
Lucifer: I feel the same. It feels much more pleasant than playing ill-natured tricks.
Lucifer: I suppose I did enjoy doing something to surprise them.
–
2. I’m going to switch the presents out for something else.
Lucifer: You enjoy being naughty, don’t you?
Lucifer: But…that does sound fun.

Text chat (OG-exclusive): Santa? (from The Demon Brothers (New)(7))
––––––––
Asmo: Hey, guys! When I woke up this morning, I found the body soap I wanted right beside my pillow! Eeeek!
Levi: I found the latest graphic card next to my pillow this morning too!
Belphie: And I got the mattress I wanted in my room.
Satan: I got the first edition of a book I wanted.
Beel: There was a slab of premium beef next to me!
Mammon: I found the newest wireless earphones in my room.
Mammon: So, this must mean…
Belphie: Mean what?
Mammon: It’s that old man with a white beard!
Asmo: What do you mean? There was a thief?
Mammon: Not a thief! You know, the old man with a white beard and red suit!
Belphie: A…pervert?
Mammon: NO! I’m talkin’ about Santa!
Mammon: Santa Claus paid us a visit!
Asmo: In the Devildom? There’s no way.
Levi: That old man only visits good children in the human world.
Satan: We helped him before, remember? So you should know that.
Mammon: I was a good boy this year, so he probably made an exception!
Beel: Were you, really?
Mammon: I looked the other way when the problems were small!
Asmo: Santa, huh? Do you really think it was Santa?
Belphie: Diavolo probably just asked Lucifer to do this.
Lucifer: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Belphie: You’re acting really suspicious...
Levi: Wait! This about this! If you move the letters for Santa around, it turns into Satan!
