Too Good to Be True (Asmo)
Before the Big Day (Lucifer)
The Road to Marriage (Newspaper)
ââââââââââââââââ
ButlerBarb:Â Let's meet at the ceremon...
ââââââââ
*HOL dining room*
Lucifer: *arms crossed* So, an important figure here in the Devildom is getting married. They want four people from the House of Lamentation to attend the ceremony.Â
Mammon: *shakes head* A wedding ceremony? Why canât you just go for us, Lucifer?
Lucifer: *shakes head* It just so happens that I have another arrangement that day, leaving me unable to attend the wedding. Thus, I want Mammon, Satan, Belphie... Â
Lucifer: âŚand Chise to attend.
Ugh...
Lucifer: *narrows eyes in warning* Why do you look so displeased?Â
â
2. Okay.
Mammon: *exasperated* Ya know, you should really think about what youâre agreeinâ to before you actually agree to something...
â
Beel: *smiles dreamily* But, youâll get to eat some good food. I wish I could go.
Mammon: *shrugs* Well then, be my guest.
Lucifer: *flat glare* Absolutely not. The last time Beel attended a wedding, he ate all the food and caused a huge scene. *sighs grimly* The only one Iâm worried about is you, Mammon.Â
Mammon: *wide-eyed shock* Why me?!
Fair enough.
Mammon: *glares* Whatâs that sâposed to mean?!
â
2. He wonât do anything.
Mammon:Â Of course not! The Great Mammon would never cause any problems!
Satan: *shakes head with a heavy sigh* Youâre the definition of âproblem.â
â
Lucifer: The ceremony will be attended by many Devildom celebrities. *scowls darkly* Everyone better be on their best behaviour!
ââââââââ
Beelzeburger:Â I asked for souvenirs.
ââââââââ
*Demon Lordâs Castle grand hall*
Mammon: *grimaces, shaking head nervously* Wow, so many people.Â
Satan: *nods* Everywhere I look, the next person is more famous than the last.Â
Belphie: *sighs with slumped shoulders, pouting* This wedding ceremony is the worst... Iâm so nervous I canât eat at all.
Satan:Â Letâs just try not to stand out and quickly get through this night.Â
Mammon: *grimly* For once, I agree with you...Â
Mammon: *sidles closer, expression a little pensive* ...Hey, Chise. Look at the couple. They look so happy... *frowns thoughtfully* I wonder what itâs like to be married...
Mammon: ...What do you think itâd be like if you and I got married?
I think every day would be a lot of fun.
Mammon: *grins cheerfully, chuckling* Yeah, me too. I never get bored around you.Â
â
2. Weâd fight all the time.
Mammon: *somber* Right? Weâd argue so much. *laughs softly, smiling* But, that could be fun too, right?
â
Mammon: *pensive* Now that I think about it...marriage might not be such a bad thing after all.Â
I canât imagine you getting married to someone.
Mammon: *brows draw together a little sadly* Right? Me neither.Â
â
2. Do you want to get married?
Mammon: *looks aside with a blush* W-Well...before I didnât...want to... But now...I guess...Iâm thinking that I...might want to someday.
Mammon: *meets eyes with a quiet noise of affection, expression soft and wanting* If itâs with you...
Mammon: *closes eyes, shaking head in embarrassment* ...N-Never mind! Ignore that! Forget it!
â
Belphie: *chuckles quietly, smiling cutely* In that case, what do you think itâd be like to marry me?Â
ââââââââ
L3V1:Â I can imagine what married life...
ââââââââ
Belphie: *smiles sincerely, humming softly with his thoughts* If we got married...Iâm sure Iâd sleep in all the time and youâd come to wake me up.
Howâs that any different from now?
Belphie: *raises brows in surprise* âŚTrue.Â
â
2. Iâd wake you up gently.
Belphie: *soft, happy chuckle, eyes crinkling at the thought* Iâd wake up on the right side of bed every morning if the first thing I saw was you...Â
â
Belphie: *happy noise, holding eye contact with a longing smile* Weâd go to bed together and then when Iâd wake up, youâd be there. Youâd be the last thing I see before I shut my eyes and the first thing I see when I open them...Â
Belphie: *eyes crinkle again with another soft chuckle, lifting one shoulder bashfully* ...I like the thought of that. That makes me wanna get married.
Belphie: *makes eye contact again, softly cheerful* So, what do you say? Should we get married, Chise?
Sure, why not?
Belphie: Hm? *attentive, eager* Really? Iâm serious, you know. *smile widens happily* Iâll definitely make you happy.Â
Mammon: *butts in with an outraged scowl* DâAAAH! Thereâs no way you two are getting married! Thatâs ridiculous!
â
2. You shouldnât say such things so lightheartedly, you know.
Belphie:Â *looks down in hurt disappointment, a bit pouty* Iâm not asking just for fun...
Satan: *sighs heavily with a shake of his head* Stop putting Chise in an awkward position.
â
Satan: *touches chin thoughtfully, growing pensive* Marriage, huh... Iâve never even considered getting married before...Â
ââââââââ
LordDiavolo:Â Looks like you're having fun.
ââââââââ
Satan: *hums thoughtfully with a smile, making eye contact* What do you think marrying someone like me would be like? *laughs sheepishly, dipping head bashfully* I bet youâd come to me angry about reading books all day instead of spending time with you.
Sounds about right.
Satan: *laughs cheerfully, eyes crinkling* Heh. I can picture it already. *sincere eye contact* That could be fun, though.Â
â
2. Thatâs just who you are.
Satan: *lifts chin with a cheerful laugh, eyes crinkling* Can I take that to mean youâre accepting me as I am?Â
â
Satan: *touches chest, smiling* There is one thing I can say for sure, though. If weâd get married, Iâm sure life would be very peaceful. *eyes crinkle, genuine* I wouldnât have a care in the world.Â
I feel the same way.
Satan: *laughs bashfully, sincerely pleased* Yeah? Thatâs good... *affection eye contact* I think weâd do well if we married.Â
â
2. I like shaking things up every once in a while.
Satan: *chuckles, eyes soft* Heh. Is the simple life too boring for you? Letâs mix things up a little sometimes.
â
*applause sounds out*
Mammon: *eyes widen, perplexed* W-Whatâs happening? Everyoneâs started gathering for something.
Belphie: *serious* The bride is about to throw the bouquet...Â
Satan: *nods, touching chin with a frown* They say whoever catches it will be the next one to get married...Â
Mammon: *jumps with wide eyes* Huuuh?! *FIERCE burning eyes, with jaw-clenching challenge* That bouquet is mine.
Belphie: *shakes head, eyes flat* In your dreams.
Satan: Hmph. *nods grimly* You all look pretty serious about this. Iâm in.
Guys, stop it.
Mammon: *glares* The fightâŚ
Belphie: *glares* âŚfor ChiseâŚÂ
Satan: *glares* âŚis on!
â
2. Well, then I wanna join too!
Mammon: *flatly* Even if Iâm up against you, I wonât give up!Â
Satan: *flatly* The bouquet is mine.
Belphie: *flatly* Once itâs mine, Iâm not letting go.Â
â
*whoosh through air*
Mammon: *eyes widen* Here it comes! Haah...!
Satan: *pissed scowl of determination* Out of my way!
*crunch* *camera shake*
Mammon:Â Ouch! *sulks* Donât step on me!
Belphie: *glowers* Itâs mine!
*SMACK* *camera shake*
Mammon: *glaring* ARGH!
Satan: *thunderous* NNGAAH!
Belphie: *enraged* GRRRR!
*fwump* *camera shake*
Satan: *eyes widen in shock* Huh�
Mammon: *eyes widen in shock* All four of us...
Belphie: *eyes widen in shock* ...caught it at the same time...
Satan: *scowls* Â Itâs mine!
Mammon: *scowls* No, mine!
Belphie: *scowls, shaking head* Give it to me!
I donât care anymore.
Satan: *scowls, shaking head* Let go!
Mammon: *glares* No, YOU let go!
Belphie: *grunts, pissy* Donât pull on my clothes...
â
2. Iâm not letting go!
Satan: HEY! *glare of outrage* No grabbing hands!Â
Mammon: *glares right back* Stop shoving me in the face then!Â
Belphie: Nk! *scowls* Stop kicking me!
â
*SLAP* *KICK* *PUNCH*
*camera shaking*
Mammon: *gasps in horror* Hey! The bouquet...Â
Satan: *expression falls* Itâs been torn apart...
Belphie: *winces* Ah...! Thatâs got to be bad luck for sure...
Mammon: *wide-eyed* H-Hey... I think everyoneâs starinâ at us.
Satan: *sighs with a grimace, looking down in embarrassment* This is...awkward...
Belphie: âŚ*simply sighs* *doomed resignation*
âŚâŚ*dreadful time skip*âŚâŚ
âŚâŚ*fade to HOL dining room*âŚâŚ
Lucifer: *enveloped in a dark, ominous miasma*
Lucifer: *eyes flat, absolutely PISSED*Â
Lucifer: *FIERCE scowling* YouâŚ!Â
*crack of lighting, THUNDER noises*
Lucifer: *arms crossed, yelling* I warned you loud and clear not to make a scene while at the wedding! Yet, here you all are acting like a bunch of delinquents! Every time I leave you unattended you always find a way to cause trouble...Â
Mammon: *shoulders slouch in fearful dismay* Why...
Satan: *sighs heavily, looking down with a shake of his head* ...did it turn into this...?
Belphie: *sighs as well, pouting* This sucks...
End.

Text chat:Â A Funny Show (from The Fantastic Three(3))
ââââââââ
Lucifer: Forgive me, Lord Diavolo.
Lucifer: I heard about the scene they caused during the bouquet toss.
Diavolo: Yes. It was quite the sight.
Diavolo: I've never seen everyone get so excited over a single bouquet of flowers. It was quite interesting.
Barbatos: The newlyweds even seemed to enjoy it quite a lot.
Lucifer: Watching that pathetic fight?
Diavolo: It was quite a good show.
Diavolo: It's been a while since I laughed that much.
Barbatos: When everyone finally realized that the flowers ended up scattered everywhere during their brawl, their faces were priceless.
Diavolo: Yes, that was hilarious.
Diavolo: Everyone had a good laugh.
Diavolo: Was that your idea?
Lucifer: No, not at all.
Diavolo: I had no idea you had such a good eye for comedy.
Diavolo: There's a party next week. Can you think of something for then, too?
Diavolo: Something that would make everyone laugh, please.
Barbatos: I'm looking forward to your next show.
Lucifer: Okay.
Lucifer: I don't know what exactly I'm getting myself into...
Lucifer: ...but I suppose I'll invite them along again.

Levi: *gasps, betrayed* Donât tell me you pulled a fast one on us, Chise!
Mammon: ...Hm? *eyes widen* Wait, hold on... Somethinâs kinda...tingly? *covers mouth, self-conscious* Itâs almost like...Iâm itchinâ to do something?
Levi:Â Yeah, I feel strange too. Like, I feel so...incredibly...needy?!
ââââââââ
ButlerBarb:Â Serving entails hard work.
ââââââââ
Levi: *horrified* What the heck is this?! What did you do?!
Looks like the magic finally kicked in.
Mammon:Â So, the ears were magic, huh? *grimaces* So thatâs why Iâm starvinâ for affection right now...
â
2. Now you should be able to do cute service.
Levi: *frustrated growl, squirmy* Ngnnnh... I canât fight it!
â
Mammon:Â Are you seriously telling us to go do that âcute serviceâ thing like this?!
Levi: *shakes head in horror* No way! This is like nightmare level difficulty!
Have fun, you two!
Levi: Ice cold. Lmao.
â
2. Uh oh, looks like weâve got some regulars coming in.
Mammon: *resigned sigh* ...Weâre not gettinâ outta this, are we?
â
Mammon: *growls* Fine. Letâs do this!
Levi: *sulkily hides face under fringe, blushing deeply* Yeah, letâs just get it over with...!Â
*fade back to Matter Hatterâs cafĂŠ themed room*
*clatter*
Mammon: *eeps* Whoops, I dropped a spoon...! *squirms shyly* Hey, um, Mr. Customer. Could you pwetty pwease get that for me?
Levi: *gasps, wide-eyed* We got your order wrong? I-Iâm so sorry! Weâll get it fixed up right away...! *smiles adorably* ...But, um, that drink is reeeeaally good, so why donât you give it a try anyways? *squees, happy bouncing* Oh, you like it? Itâs so good you donât even want to change it? Th-Thank you very much!
Mammon: *sulks at the ground, blushing* Damn, these bunny ears have got me acting out of control...!Â
Levi: *squirms, hiding blush* Ngh... I canât control my impulses to act needy!
Mammon: *looks up, demanding, red-faced* Hey, you! Yeah, you! Come pat my head!
Levi: *adorably wide-eyed, blushing* I-Itâs not like Iâm acting this way because I l-like you or anything...!Â
ââââââââ
Belphie:Â You still went along with it.
ââââââââ
Mammon: *glumly* Is it just me, or are we gettinâ better reactions than normal?
Levi: *exhausted* Yeah, it feels like people have been asking for us nonstop.
Mammon, someoneâs asking for you!
Mammon: *perks up, grinning* All right, letâs keep the money flowinâ, baby!
Mammon: *coyly* Hey there, buddy. Ya wanna try the richest drink in the cellar? Itâs top stuff, I guarantee it. How âbout it? *grins, happy sparkles* Thanks so much for the order, buddy! Say, youâre gonna want a dessert with that too, right?
â
2. Levi, someoneâs asking for you!
Levi: ...Huh? *gasps, wide-eyed shock* Wait, is that Ruri-chan merch?! A-Are you a fan of hers, too?! *adorable, beaming smile of excitement* Oh my gosh, so am I! *bounces, happy sparkles, grinning* Letâs say it together! Ruri Hana! Ru-Ru Ruri!
Levi: *gaaaasps, jaw drops* Wait, whatâs that? Could it be...the exclusive final prize from the latest Ruri-chan raffle?! *looks aside* Man, I wanted that so badly...! *jumps in shock, wide-eyed* What? Youâd really give it to me?! *excited babbling, elated sparkles* Th-Thank you so much!
â
Mammon: *running around* Hold on, weâll get to all of ya, one at a time!
Levi: *grins, waves* I heard you! Iâm coming right over!
*fade to whimsical forest town*
Levi: *huffs* Phew... Itâs finally over...Â
Mammon: *smiling proudly* Did ya hear? Todayâs sales were the best in the cafĂŠâs history!
You guys did great!
Mammon: *bursts into cheery laughter, grinning wide* Hell yeah we did! We made a killinâ out there!
â
2. The magic really worked!
Levi: *sulky glare* Would it kill you to praise us instead?!
â
Mammon: *hides flirtatious smirk behind fingers* We worked our butts off. Donât ya think weâve earned a reward?
Levi: *pouty, pleading* Come on, ChiseâŚÂ
You can act all needy towards me too.
Levi: *gasps* *laughs happily, grinning* Thatâs the line Iâve been waiting for!
Mammon: *grins with excitement* Oh yeah! Ya better spoil us rotten!
â
2. Is there something you want?
Mammon: *pouty* It ainât a âsomethingâ weâre talkinâ about here. Think about the situation!
Levi: *pleading* We wanna act needy around you too.
Mammon: *glares, hands on hips, demanding* Yeah! Spoil us!
2. A) I was hoping youâd say that.
Mammon: *drops eye contact, pouty blush* Seriously? You wanted to make us say it?
Levi: *hides face behind hands, squeezing eyes shut, blushing deeply* You just wanted to hear us beg, didnât you?! Thatâs so mean! But also pretty cute in its own right!
2. B) Just for today, okay?
Levi: *grins excitedly, bouncing on heels, happy sparkles* Thanks, Chise.Â
Mammon: *flirty smirk* Oh, youâre in for it now.
â
Mammon: ...*grows serious, side-eyeing Levi* I contributed the most toward the sales, so I get the most attention, right?
Levi: *smiles threateningly, shaking head* What? No way! That right belongs to me!
Mammon: *scowls darkly* No, me!
Levi: *glares right back* Forget it! The extra attention is all mine!
End.

Text chat:Â Needy Little Brothers (from Brothers Under a Pact(4))
ââââââââ
Levi: đŽâđ¨
Levi: The spell from the bunny ears finally wore off.
Mammon: Forget everything you saw yesterday, ya hear?!
But you guys were so cute!
Mammon: đ
â
2. I took some pictures.
Levi: đ¨
Mammon: đ¤Ż
Mammon: Delete them! NOW!
â
Levi: At the very least, you should have put those bunny ears on yourself.
Levi: I'm pretty sure it would have been WAY more effective with your looks and charm...
Levi: đ˘
Beel: Chise, I just bought some bunny-shaped madeleines.
Beel: Wanna come eat them with me?
đ¤¤đ˝ď¸
Beel: OK! đ
â
2. Yes!!! đŞ
Beel: đĽłđĽł
â
Mammon: Beel doesn't even have to wear bunny ears. He gets to act like a kid around Chise as much as he wants.
Simeon: *confused, taken aback* Solomon? Do you mean Solomon, our mutual friend?
Mammon: Like, I canât figure out what heâs thinkinâ half the time.
Simeon: *unsure* Well, I suppose he does have an air of mystery about him.
Does he, though?
Mammon: Ya probably canât tell âcause youâre with him all the time.
â
2. Yeah, I totally get what you mean!
Mammon: *nod* You too, eh? Must be true if the person he hangs out with most feels the same way.
â
Mammon: Betcha anythinâ heâs rotten to the core.
Simeon: *surprised* Really? I donât get that sort of impression from him⌠*fond smile* If anything, he strikes me as a gentle human with a big heart.
Mammon: *frowns* Whereâd THAT even come from?! If ya ask me, heâs secretly evil underneath that smile!
Simeon: *patient smile* Iâm sure his smile is genuine. Trust me, angels are good at identifying virtue in a person.
Mammon: *hands on hips* And demons can straight up tell ya when people are bad! Which one of us is right, Chise?!
I havenât the faintest idea...
Mammon: Ugh, dammit!
â
2. I canât say for sure.
Simeon: *grimace* Youâre right. Sorry for putting you on the spot like thatâŚ
--------
Angeluke: You care about it that much?
--------
Simeon: *uncertain* We could spend an eternity debating this, but thereâs no way of knowing when the person in question isnât even here. Although, itâs not as if we can ask him this sort of thing to his face eitherâŚ
Mammon: Okay, fine. Iâll prove it to ya.
Simeon: *nervous* Prove� Whatever are you planning?
Youâre not going to prank him, are you?
Mammon: âCourse not! I ainât that kinda guy!
â
2. Iâm intrigued...
Simeon: *alarmed guilt* Not you too, Chise!
Mammon: Relax, itâs just a liâl experiment.
â
Mammon: Listen, I came across a grimoire in this house that I know Solomonâs been itchinâ to read. So, weâre gonna call him over and tell him that the bookâs headed for the castle, and we need him to keep an eye on it for a while. *smirk, snicker* Weâll also warn him that Lucifer ordered us not to open it. If he ignores our warning and takes a peek, then that means heâs actually morally corrupt at the core.
Simeon: *reserved sigh* Iâll be honest⌠Iâm not a huge fan of that idea. Besides, âmorally corruptâ doesnât seem like the right word to me.
Mammon: Exactly! Câmon, what are we waitinâ for?!
Simeon: *aghast* ChiseâŚ!
â
Mammon: Doncha wanna know the truth, though?
Simeon: *wilts* Well, Iâd be lying if I said I didnât⌠*saddens* Solomon doesnât really talk about himself that much, after all⌠Regardless, Iâd like to be his friend, no matter what kind of person he is. In that sense, I do want to learn more about him.
I feel you. Simeon.
Simeon: *sweet chuckle* Thank you. Iâm glad you understand. *smiles, touches back of neck, eye contact* Iâd like to know more about you too, you know.
Mammon: Hey, what about me?!
Simeon: *patient chuckle* I know you well enough, Mammon.
â
2. Youâre so kind, Simeon.
Simeon: *bashful chuckle* Not necessarily. I just want to become better friends with Solomon, thatâs all.
â
Mammon: Hmph! So, whatâs it gonna be?! Iâm goinâ ahead with my plan, with or without ya. If youâre not interested, then get lost.
Simeon: âŚAll right, Mammon. Iâll see this through to the end.
Mammon: âŚHeh, whatever. And you, Chise?
Of course Iâm in!
Mammon: *smirk* Sure ya are! Ya wanna know what heâll do, right?
â
2. I need to rein you in if you lose control.
Mammon: *grumpy glare* Hey, who says Iâm gonna lose control?! Whatever. Follow me if youâre in on this.
â
Mammon: Aight, time to call Solomon!
--------
ButlerBarb: How will Solomon react?
--------
*HOL library*
Solomon: Chise, MammonâŚ? Whatâs wrong? You said it was urgent.
Mammon: So, the thing isâŚ
Solomon: *gasps, eyes widen* Wait, that grimoireâŚ!
Mammon: Hm? Somethinâ wrong?
Solomon: *smiles, little head shake* Itâs just that Iâve been wanting to read that for some time.
Mammon: *grins, happy sparkle effect* What, THIS thing? Awww man, I didnât know!
Mammon, be a little more subtle!
Mammon: *jump* HuhâŚ? OhâŚAhem! I had no idea.
Solomon: *amused laughter* What a coincidence.
â
2. Is this grimoire really powerful or something?
Solomon: *head shake* Not necessarilyâŚbut it does contain information Iâm interested in. *wistful sigh* Iâve been looking for it for a long time without any luckâŚÂ
â
Mammon: Dâya wanna read it?
Solomon: *smiles pleasantly* Yes, I do. Will you let me?
Mammon: *hides snicker behind hand* *clears throat* Weeelllll⌠See, I canât do that.
Solomon: *blinks in confusion* Really? Why not?
Mammon: To tell the truth, weâre bringinâ this grimoire to the Demon Lord Castle for Lord Diavolo. Anyway, Lucifer told us to keep an eye on it in the meantime in case someone tries to steal it.
Solomon: *soft pout* Is it really that valuable�
Mammon: Uh, er⌠It IS to the Demon Lordâs Castle!
Solomon: *disappointed* I seeâŚ
Mammon: But the thing is, Chise and I actually got some stuff to doâŚ
Solomon: *raises brows* What kind of stuff�
Please donât askâŚ
Solomon: *getting increasingly amused* Now Iâm even more curious. Are you going on a date, perhaps?
Mammon: WhaâŚ?! *squirms in embarrassment, avoiding eye contact* âCourse not! Weâre just gonna run some errands, thatâs all!
â
2. We were asked to go buy a few things.
Solomon: Is that so�
Mammon: Y-Yeah! The stuff weâve gotta get is important too!
â
Solomon: *pleasant smile* All right. In that case, why donât I watch over the grimoire while youâre away?
Mammon: *eager grin* For real?! Ya just saved our bacon! Thanks!
Solomon: *confused frown* ButâŚwhy me? Surely, there are other people you could have askedâŚ
Mammon: *flusters* UmâŚIâŚuhâŚ
Youâre the most trustworthy person we know!
Solomon: *chuckle, fond smile* Thatâs very nice of you. Iâm flattered. *sweet* Iâll do my best to live up to your expectations, of course. The grimoire will be safe with me.
â
2. They all said they were busy!
Solomon: I see⌠How odd that they would all have plans on the same day.
Mammon: GuhâŚ! Itâs just one of those days, haha!
Solomon: *uncertain* But you know, I met Asmodeus in the hallway just now, and he didnât look very busy to meâŚ
Mammon: Oh, somethinâ came up after ya parted ways with him! He just sent me a message.
Solomon: I see. *smiles* I suppose it canât be helped then. Iâll make sure to keep an eye on this book, so rest assured itâll be safe in my care.
â
Mammon: *grins* Youâre a lifesaver, Solomon! Weâre countinâ on ya. Oh, wait⌠I almost forgot. Lucifer mentioned that weâre not allowed to open the book under any circumstances.
Solomon: *raises brows* What� How come?
Mammon: *shrug* Beats me. He didnât say why, but he made sure to hammer that point home. If anyway opens the book, Iâll be the one to pay for it, so make sure ya keep that thing shut, okay? Iâm countinâ on ya!
Solomon: *sweet smile, nod* Understood. I wonât open it then.
Mammon: *nods back* Good. Thanks, Solomon!
*fade to HOL hallway*
Mammon: *grinning wide* All right⌠That takes care of the setup.
I feel kinda bad.
Mammon: Itâs too late for that now! Ainât no going back anymore! All thatâs left is to monitor him.
â
2. I wonder what heâll do with it.
Mammon: My moneyâs on him openinâ the book. Mammon: Anyway, this is where things start gettinâ interestinâ.
â
Mammon: Letâs join up with Simeon and let the camera do the rest. *smirk, snickers eagerly* Weâll monitor things from there.
--------
LordDiavolo: Thatâs very like him.
--------
*Leviâs bedroom*
Simeon: Youâre back!
Mammon: *nod* Well? Howâs it lookinâ?
Simeon: *soft guilt* Nothing suspicious yet.
Levi: *flat expression, surly* Whyâd you have to do this in MY room, anyway?!
Mammon: *glowers* Itâs not like we got a choice! Youâre the only one with a computer.
Levi: *glares* Youâre using my camera too, in case you forgot!
Mammon: Will ya just shaddup?! Be quiet and go play a game or somethinâ!
Levi: *pinched lips, pissy* EXCUSE me?! Also, stop messing with my computer!
Mammon: *rolls eyes* Yeah, yeah, whateverâŚÂ
Simeon: *wilts, sighs* This feels wrongâŚ
Mammon: Are ya still hung up on that? Betcha Solomonâs gonna reveal his true colours in no time. Youâll see.
*time skip*
One hour laterâŚ
Simeon: *soft, pleased laughter, eyes gleaming* Heâs done all but open the book. Isnât this proof enough for you?
Mammon: NghâŚ!
Just give it a bit more time!
Mammon: *dejected* Nah, I donât think thereâs any point in waitinâ any longerâŚ
â
2. It looks like Simeon was right.
Mammon: *scowls* Argh, dammit! Fine! I ainât ready to throw in the towel yet, though! If weâd waited just a couple more minutes, we couldâve had him!
â
Simeon: *upbeat, smiling, happy sparkle effect* Letâs go back to Solomon!
*fade to HOL library*
Simeon: *beaming smile* Solomon!
Solomon: *straightens, taken aback* Huh� Simeon? Mammon and Chise too? What are you all doing here?
Simeon: *joyous sparkle, laughing, smiling* I knew you had a good soul, Solomon!
So did I!
Solomon: *perplexed* âŚSoul? What do you mean?
Simeon: *happy chuckling, eyes sparkling* Nothing, itâs not important. Just know that Iâm incredibly proud of you!
Solomon: *confused, pleased smile* You areâŚ? Iâm not sure I follow, but thank you, I guess.
â
2. That just sounds weird when said out of the blue.
Simeon: Oh, good pointâŚ
Solomon: *soft, concerned frown* Are you all right, Simeon? Youâre acting rather strangely.
Simeon: *wince, head shake* Sorry! Ignore me!
â
Simeon: You donât have to guard the grimoire anymore.
Solomon: *smiles* I guess that means my job here is done. Here you go, Mammon.
Mammon: *sulky* R-Right, thanksâŚ
Solomon: Now, if youâll excuse me, I have business with Lucifer. *affectionate smile, eyes crinkle* Oh, Chise, text me when youâre ready to head back. We can go home together. Iâll see you around.
*Solomon leaves*
Mammon: âŚDammit! Iâm sure he wouldâve opened it if only weâd waited a bit longer.
Simeon: *happy, relieved laughter* Donât be a sore loser, Mammon. Solomon just proved that he doesnât have an evil bone in his body. By the wayâŚwhatâs written inside that grimoire?
Mammon: Oh, this? *shrug* Itâs a handbook for Luciferâs beloved dog, Cerberus. Itâs got all sorts of stuff in it, like the muttâs weaknesses, favourite foods, and how to summon or tame him.
Simeon: *perplexed* Interesting⌠Why in the world would Solomon be interested in a book like that, though?
Mammon: *shrug, head shake* Who knows? Whatever, it doesnât matter. *scowl* I swear Iâll catch him in the act next time!
*time skip*
*fade to Devildom streets*
Solomon: Iâm peckish. Why donât we eat something before heading home? *smiles happily* I have to say, though, I had a very fulfilling day today. I owe it all to Lucifer.
What are you talking about?
Solomon: Hm? About Luciferâs pet, of course. I discovered a lot of things about it today.
â
2. By the way, what business did you have with him?
Solomon: Oh, that. I went to see his pet, to be more specific.
â
Solomon: *eyes gleam* Iâm the type of person who likes to put their knowledge to the test immediately. How could I not after learning all those things about Cerberus, like how to tame or summon him?
Did you read the grimoire?
Solomon: *head shake* Oh, no. I guarded it and kept it shut, just like I was told to.
2. How do you know all that?
Solomon: It was written in the grimoire. *sweetly* Oh, but I never opened it, so donât worry. No promises were broken.Â
Solomon: Haha! Thatâs strange. I could have sworn you were watching me. *mischievous gleam* Nah, it couldnât be. You canât have been surveilling me from Leviathanâs room for a whole hour, right? Thatâs just absurd.
â
2. You knew everything all along?!
Solomon: *chuckles, smiling* Know what? Haha, I have no idea what youâre talking about!
â
Solomon: Do you want to know how I was able to learn the contents of that book without opening it?
Yes!
Solomon: *good-natured nod* Iâll tell you then. This is our little secret. Thereâs a spell that allowed me to learn the contents of a book simply by touching its cover, although the results vary based on the language itâs written in. Anyway, thatâs what I used today. *amused chuckle* It doesnât seem so impressive once you know how itâs done, does it?
â
2. Keep your secrets.
Solomon: *pouts* Are you sure? I donât mind telling you specifically how I did it⌠*smiles* Oh, well. I suppose some things are better left unknown.
â
Solomon: *chuckles* I must say, Simeon and Mammon come up with the most interesting ideas. All that just to find out what kind of person I am? *soft eye contact* However, I hope youâll trust me when I say⌠Iâm a gentle and peace-loving human being.
Of course I trust you!
Solomon: *happy sparkle effect, overjoyed smile* I trust you too, Chise.
â
2. How much do you know about this, exactly?!
Solomon: *cheery laughter, eyes crinkle* How much? I wonder. Who knows?

Mammon: Please, Chise! Do me a favour just this once!
No. Youâve said that a million times already.
Mammon: đľ
2. Iâm not lending you any money.
Mammon: đ¤Ż
Mammon: What are ya, a psychic?!

Mammon: I ainât askinâ for much, I swear! You care about me, doncha?
That has nothing to do with this.
Mammon: đ
2. Not really.
Mammon: Aw, câmon. No need to be shy.
Mammon: I guess I shouldnât have bought all 66 volumes of that manga for half-priceâŚ
Mammon: âŚthen gone and bought a Pad Sixâthat electrical stimulation machine thatâs sâposed to give ya absâfor 60 percent off.
Can I use the stay command on you now?
Do you think âstayâ works over the phone too?
Mammon: đ°
Mammon: Hey, ainât it almost dinnertime? Yâknow, Iâm kinda hungry. Iâm gonna go eat somethinâ! See ya!
Lucifer: *sets down coffee mug with a severe-looking expression* âŚ
Mammon: *snickering to himself* PffâŚheheheh.
Levi: *grumbles under his breath as his game makes dinging noises* ...Hmph! Take THAT! Dâah!
Lucifer: *sighs* HmmâŚ
*sound of coffee mug being set down, and then the pouring of coffee*
Mammon: *looks up with a noise of inquiry* Hey Lucifer. Pour me another cup of red coffee too while youâre at it.
Levi (to himself):Â (*gasps, wide-eyed* Oh man! âPour me another cup of red coffee too while youâre at itâ? I canât believe heâs talking to Lucifer like heâs his servant.)
Lucifer: *sighs in irritation, his severe frown returning to his expression* âŚ
Levi (to himself):Â (*snickers, smirking* Yep, I knew it! Heâs about to tear into Mammon for that...)
Lucifer: *expressionless* âŚ
...*pouring noises*
Levi (to himself):Â (*expression crumbles in disbelief* Youâve got to be joking! He actually poured Mammon a cup?! Why?!)
Mammon: *grins* Thanks.
Levi (to himself):Â (*hums doubtfully, watching them* ...Maybe heâs actually in a better mood than he looks? Well, in that case...)
*Levi sets his cup down*
Levi: *nervous, hesitant puppy eyes* L-Lucifer? W-W-Would you maybe pour me another cup as well...while youâre at it?
Lucifer: *scowls darkly with a scoff* âŚ
*SMACK/CAMERA SHAKE*
Levi: *yelp* DâAHâŚ!
Lucifer: *grunts pissily, arms crossed with a glare* Pour it yourself.
Levi: *glares sulkily back* Hey! You poured Mammon a cup! Why not me?! Thatâs not fair! Youâre playing favourites!
Lucifer: I have a rule: Iâll do someone a favour, but only one request is allowed.
Levi: *slumps* Hmph. Thatâs the first Iâve ever heard of your rule...
ââââââââ
LordDiavolo:Â Well, I'm gla...
ââââââââ
Levi:Â ...Grrah! *beams happily at the sound of a victory ding* HAH!
Mammon: *glares with a noise of irritation* Ya know Levi, every time you hit a button on that controller of yours, you let out a grunt. Quit it. Itâs REALLY annoyinâ. Iâd just gotten to a really funny part in this manga, and now youâve gone and ruined the moment.
Levi: *glares darkly from under his fringe* Excuse me?! Why donât you go read your manga in your OWN room then?
Mammon: *scowls* Donât wanna. This couch is more comfortable than sittinâ in my room. You should be the one to leave. Go to your room and play games there!
Levi: *scowls right back, tensions escalating* Well I donât feel like going to my room, either. And my connection speed is better here than in my room.
Lucifer: *sets down coffee with a heavy sigh* Listen, both of you⌠*crosses arms with a shake of his head, glaring daggers* If you donât stop this racket, Iâm going to cut you both up and fashion your parts into chess pieces for this board here.
Levi: *wide-eyed* AwâŚ
*time skip*
Lucifer: *expressionlessly sets down mug again, sound of him turning on a burner* âŚ
Mammon: *grinning* I canât believe he just said that!
Levi: *laughs as victory dinging plays* ...HAH! Boom! Take that!
Lucifer: *sluuuurp* ⌠*sets down mug, begins to pour*
Mammon: *looks over at Lucifer* Lucifer, while youâre at it, pourâ
Mammon (to himself):Â (*stops, wide-eyed* Dâah! The coffee pot...itâs empty!)
Lucifer: *turns to look at Mammon with a noise of inquiry* Did you say something, Mammon?
Mammon: *shakes head quickly* Uh, no. NothinââŚ
Levi (to himself): (*sighs* Liar. *sulky frown* He was about to ask Lucifer to pour him another cup of coffee. But he knows Lucifer would sayâŚ)
*flashback fade to Lucifer standing creepily against a pure black background*
Lucifer: *arms crossed, smirking smugly* Oh dear, it looks like weâre all OUT of coffee. If you want another cup, youâll have to go make another pot.
*fade back to present*
Levi (to himself):Â (*sulky grumbling* So Mammon pretended not to notice the pot was empty!)
Mammon (to himself): (*shakes head in irritation* Tsk! Dammit LuciferâŚ)
Levi (to himself): (*glaring from the corner of his eye* He filled his cup alllll the way up, until it nearly overflowed...)
Both Mammon and Levi, to themselves:Â (He totally emptied the pot on purpose!)
Lucifer: *chuckles to himself* *happily sips his coffee*
ââââââââ
Beelzeburger:Â Shall I eat...
ââââââââ
Mammon (to himself):Â (The next person who wants a cup of coffee is gonna have to go into the kitchen and make a new pot. *scowls* But IâM not budging! Iâm staying right here!)
Levi (to himself): (*hiding his pissy expression behind his sleeve, glaring at his brothers* I know Lucifer and Mammon have no intention of making a new pot either, but NO ONE is more serious about it than me! Iâm NOT doing it! Because IâM the one who made the LAST pot!Â
Levi (still to himself): (*narrows his eyes with a little growl* And those two drank it without even asking if it was okay. So this time itâs their turn to make coffee for me!)Â
*time skip*
Levi: *smiling happily* *sip sip sip* âŚ
Mammon (to himself):Â (*grumpy scowl* Look at Levi over there, nursing his coffee like that... Heâs tryinâ to work it so that either Lucifer or I run out first, ainât he?)
Lucifer: *nods serenely, unreadable* Levi, Mammon, I apologize for snapping at you earlier. Here, let me make it up to you. *smiles sweetly, expression deeply affectionate* I bought these ultra-sweet scones from Madam Screamâs intending to eat them all by myself, but Iâd like to share them with you two instead.
*unwrapping of a wrapper*
Mammon & Levi, to themselves:Â (*glaring dourly* Oh no, Iâm not falling for that!)
Mammon (to himself): (If youâre gonna eat something that sweet, ya NEED a cup of coffee to go with it!)
Levi (to himself):Â (*pouts* And itâll make your mouth all dry, too.)
Mammon & Levi, to themselves:Â (No way Iâm getting anywhere near that scone...!)
*time skip*
Levi: *slurping determinedly* âŚ
Mammon (to himself):Â (Grrr...I canât take this anymore!)
Mammon: *scowls bossily* HeyâŚLevi! Stop sitting there nursinâ that coffee of yours like itâs the last cup youâll ever have. Get off your butt and go make a new pot! NOW!
Levi: *jumps in his place, eyes widening in disbelief* EXCUSE ME?! *immediate glowering* Why donât YOU go do it, Mammon? Your cup has been empty so long that thereâs nothing left but a sticky, nasty residue!
Mammon: *snickers behind his hand* Heh heh. Not that Iâm bragginâ here, but Iâve never made a pot of coffee myself.
Levi: *shakes head in exasperation* Yeah, that really isnât something to brag about⌠*perks up, alert, with a wide grin* Itâs easy, Iâll teach you how. First you toss out the used grounds and rinse the coffee maker. Then you add another filter, fresh grounds, and water. Then just hit the switch and itâll start to drip.
Mammon: *noise of dismissal* Pff! What a hassle. Ya know, come to think of it, Lucifer drank the last of the coffee, didnât he? So he should be the one to go make a new pot, doncha think?
Levi: *frowns, nodding* Yeah, you're right! He should! *grumbly grumpiness* I mean, thatâs how it works with toilet paper, right? Everyone knows that the person who uses the last of it has to add a new roll. Itâs common sense.
Lucifer: âŚ
Both Mammon & Levi, shouting together:Â Donât fake like youâre asleep!
ââââââââ
monSOLO:Â Who will favor be...
ââââââââ
Lucifer: *grunts in irritation, scowling* Well, you two certainly are being loud. Are you that determined to have me make chess pieces out of you?
Levi: *half-hiding face behind sleeve for bravery* I-Iâm not going to let you intimidate me like that anymore! Lucifer, go make another pot of coffee!
Lucifer: *expression softens, smiles sweetly with a chuckle* Sure. I wouldnât mind doing that. But I seem to recall that a certain two demons once made a huge fuss about how the coffee I made was so strong that it wasnât fit to drink. Now who were they again?
Levi (to himself): (*eyes widen* OohâŚ)
Mammon (to himself): (*looks aside with a wince* I do sorta remember something like that...)
Levi: *hides face behind sleeve AND fringe* But, if you realize that your coffee was too strong, you should make it weaker this time, shouldnât you? Since thatâs what everyone wants. You didnât have any problem with the coffee I made, and it wasnât that strong.
Lucifer: *nods affably, smiling so kindly in understanding* Well, I admit that there is some logic to that. In that case, letâs make this fair. Weâll flip a coin.Â
Mammon: *nods seriously* Youâre on.
Levi: *nods with a grimace* Okay, letâs do it.
Mammon (to himself):Â (*smirks* Now that I think about it, this is my chance to finally make Lucifer have to serve ME. Whatever side of the coin he chooses, Iâm going with the flip side!)
Levi (to himself):Â (*smiles cheerfully* This has to be some kind of trick... Luciferâs going to do something to make sure he wins, so Iâd better choose whatever side of the coin he does!)
Mammon & Levi, together:Â So Lucifer, heads or tails?
Lucifer: *relaxed smile* Good question. I think Iâll go with heads.
Mammon: *nods* Then Iâm tails.
Levi: *nods* Iâm heads!
Lucifer: *chuckles low with a confident smirk* Okay then, time to flip.
Levi: *snickers happily, beaming* Heads! All right! See you later, Mammon. Donât forget to take the pot with you!
Mammon: *scowls darkly* Gr...! You cheated, Lucifer! I just know it!
Lucifer: *envelopes himself in a dark, miasmic aura* *chuckles sweetly, eyes crinkling* Whoa, MammonâŚÂ Are you really accusing me of cheating? Without any proof?
Mammon: *shakes head quickly* Yikes...!Â
Mammon: *smiles nervously* Well, guess I donât have a choice. Seeinâ as I lost...
Levi (to himself): (*snickers, beaming* Heh. Look at how Lucifer scared himâŚ)
Lucifer: *nods, smiling sweetly* Ah, I almost forgot. While youâre at it, bring us some milk as well.
Mammon: *glum pout* Ugh, fineâŚ
Lucifer: *hums in relaxed, cheerful thought* Also, as long as youâre doing that, bring us some fruit, too. Letâs say, four or five varieties. Youâll find them in the refrigerator. Make sure to peel them and cut them up so theyâre bite-sized, and arrange them neatly on a plate for us.
Mammon: *wide-eyed exclamation* WHAT?!?! ...*INDIGNANT YELLING* HEY! DONâT GO GETTINâ CARRIED AWAY! Only one extra request allowed! Thatâs the rule!
