#obey me transcripts

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.

Lucifer: I cannot let my guard down.

Barbatos: 😊

Diavolo: 🤔

Diavolo: In the end, who was the best?

Barbatos: You, My Lord.

Diavolo: 🫣

Choice

Of course not!

The more the merrier!

I mean, whatever...

MC: Of course not!

Asmodeus: Ooh, when you get upset like that it just makes me even MORE excited!

MC: The more the merrier!

Asmodeus: Hehe, you really know a good time when you see one, don't you?

MC: I mean, whatever...

Asmodeus: So cold and indifferent, I actually like that, you know?

—

Satan: Lucifer's going to be angry if you try anything on that human.

Asmodeus: Right, that's what makes it so much fun!

Satan: You do have a point.

Satan: I wonder... How does that blood of yours taste, MC?

Satan: I bet it's sweet and warm, and it melts on the tongue...

???: You two...

Lucifer: What do you think you're doing?

You did become that person.

Solomon: I’ve never felt happier to hear those words from you. I want to continue being that person for you.

–

2. You thought a lot about me.

Solomon: ...That’s because I know a lot more than the rest. I wanted to become someone you can lean on.

–

Solomon: Oh, sorry. I bet you’re sleepy by now.

I am starting to get sleepy.

Solomon: The party today probably took a lot out of you. Get some rest tonight. Good night.

–

2. I’m not sleepy yet.

Solomon: In that case...how would you like some tea and cake? I have some really delicious cake.

2. A) Did you make it?

Solomon: No, it’s store-bought. Beelzebub told me about a great place that sells delicious cakes.

2. B) Good idea!

Solomon: Good. I thought you might be taken aback by the idea of having cake this late at night.

Solomon: I’ll be waiting in my room.

Solomon's Call – Player’s Second Birthday

------------------------

Where I Belong

Solomon: Hey. Why is it that I always end up calling you at this time every year? Happy birthday. Let me guess. I’m the only one who calls you in hopes of being the last to congratulate you, aren’t I?

Solomon: That was some party we had today. It really felt like everyone put everything they had into making today a success. They all must really like you, huh? It almost makes me kind of jealous.

Are you messing with me?

Solomon: Hehe. Do you think I would joke about something like this? I’m being serious.

–

2. I like that it makes you jealous.

Solomon: Would you prefer if I start acting on my jealousy more often? Just asking.

–

Solomon: While I enjoy celebrating together with everyone and seeing the smile that it brings to your face… …I still prefer the time we spend alone together. Could we possibly go somewhere together next year? Maybe we could go on a date to the human world.

That’s a great idea!

Solomon: Really? Then you’d better start thinking about where you’d like to go.

–

2. If we can get away without being caught...

Solomon: Don’t worry about that. Did you forget that I’m a powerful sorcerer?

–

Solomon: For you, I will go to great lengths. I consider myself a lone wolf for the most part… While I don’t believe there’s much point to bringing up things from the past… there are others out there who don’t think very highly of me or that I can be trusted. At the same time, I didn’t think it necessary to surround myself with others who thought that way about me anyway.

Solomon: But you managed to change my way of thinking. It felt sort of like you brought me into your own circle. I thought that hanging out with everyone came with the territory in the beginning, but eventually I came to like it. Now I’ve come to feel that this might actually be where I belong.

Solomon: Do you remember last year when I told you that I wanted to be someone that you could come home to? The truth is, it was the opposite. You created a place for me where I felt welcomed. And so I wanted to create that same place for you. I finally realized that.

Solomon: ...Thank you.

Solomon: For a long time...I mostly felt empty inside. But ever since meeting you, my days have started to feel full of life and fun. I can only hope that you’ll continue to be that place for me... Would that be selfish of me to ask? I’d be happy if you simply allowed me to remain by your side until the day you decide you no longer want my presence.

Solomon: That’s all for tonight... See you tomorrow.

------------------------

Solomon's Call – Player’s Third Birthday

------------------------

My Honest Desire

Solomon: Thank you for yesterday. I had so much fun spending your birthday together with you. And also, happy birthday. Tonight is the big party...which means I have to share you with everyone again.

I’ll always be yours.

Solomon: That makes me want to see you all over again. 

–

2. It’s only for today...

Solomon: You’re right. There’s nothing I can do about it anyway. I can’t exactly keep you all to myself forever.

–

Solomon: I’m very happy that we got to go on a trip together the day before your birthday. I never imagined we could do it. Even though we convinced them we were going to a boot camp for sorcerers. That was a smart excuse to give them. Nobody gave it a second thought.

I feel a little bad.

Solomon: You’re nice. That must be why I’m so attracted to you.

–

2. I’m glad we made time to spend together.

Solomon: Maybe it wasn’t very nice of us to lie to the others… But I’m glad we did anyway.

–

Solomon: It’s not easy to get time alone with you without the threat of someone barging in on us. I was really happy because an opportunity like that is rare. If only I could have you all to myself like this for every birthday from now on.

Solomon: Hehe, are you feeling troubled? I can tell. The last thing I want to do is cause you problems and I know how much you treasure the time you spend with the brothers as well. I can accept that for what it is. But it still makes me jealous from time to time.

Solomon: When you give attention to others...there are times that I believe you should be directing all that kindness of yours at me instead. I know it’s selfish of me. But I treasure you so much that I end up having such thoughts. I want you to understand that. My feelings for you are far stronger than anybody else’s. I know that for a fact.

Solomon: You might think that I always keep a cool head, but in fact that’s not true. I’m capable of feeling possessive and getting jealous. It makes me feel all messed up inside sometimes too. That’s why...if you should stray too far, I might end up stealing you away for good.

Solomon: ...Just kidding. There’s no way I would get away with that, but it’s just a taste of my feelings for you.

Several days later...

––

*RAD classroom*

Mammon: *glares in outrage* Hey, Lucifer! We asked ya to reduce the remedial classes, didn’t we?! So why’d we get even more of ’em?!

Lucifer: *impassive, completely unconcerned* That was the condition for moving the date. I warned you there would be consequences, but you chose to prioritize the party. You only have yourselves to blame. 

Beel: *shakes head worriedly* You never said anything about this.

Belphie: *pouts with a shake of his head, mumbling* Yeah, I’m out.

*bump*

Asmo: *wide-eyed gasp of shock* Belphie! Stay with us!

Satan: *shakes head with a sigh* It’s no use. He’s out cold... 

Lucifer: *exasperated* Quit your whining and get back to work. *kinda sulky* The longer you take, the longer I have to sit here and watch you.

Simeon: *laughs softly, smiling* Oh? Well, isn’t that something. 

Lucifer: *straightens in surprise* Simeon...

Simeon: *cooooy amusement* So I take it nobody would mind if I went home with Chise, then?

Mammon: *eyes widen* What?!

Asmo: *jumps in shock* You’re going home with Chise?!

I want to go home with Simeon.

Simeon: *giggles, eyes creasing with his smug grin* See? 

Mammon: *looks down at his desk with a helpless slump in his seat* Ya sure about this, Lucifer?

Lucifer: *narrows eyes with a huff, shaking head impatiently* I’d rather that than let Chise walk home alone.

Simeon: *smiling sweetly, inclining head in invitation* Let’s get going, then.

–

2. Good luck, guys!

Satan: *scowls with a noise of contempt in his throat, shrouded in black smoke* Dammit! I’ve never hated you as much as I do right now, Mammon.

Levi: *sighs in resigned defeat* I’m not a happy camper, but I can’t hold anything against Christopher Peugeot, so I’ll grin and bear it... 

–

Lucifer: *gives Simeon a serious look, nodding once* Look after Chise, Simeon.

Simeon: *smiles, nods back in understanding* Will do.

––––––––

LordDiavolo: Sleepovers are always fun!

––––––––

*outside HOL*

Simeon: *regretful sigh* Well, we took the long route, but we’re here already. *smiles gently* I'll see you later, Chise.

Do you...want to try that sleepover?

Simeon: *straightens with wide-eyed surprise/hope* Hm? Are you asking me to stay the night? 

–

2. Please don’t go...

Simeon: *visibly taken aback for a moment, realizing meaning* ...*smiles gently* I don’t want to leave either… *meets eyes with a look of desire, blush rising to cheeks* I’d stay with you forever if I could.

2. A) Then don’t go.

Simeon: *locks eyes with longing* There’s no way I can leave if you look at me like that.

2. B) We’d have the place to ourselves.

Simeon: *nods* That’s true...

–

Simeon: *expression softens, gaze meaningful* We’re unlikely to get another chance for a sleepover anytime soon, are we? 

Simeon: *looks back down the path with a thoughtful frown* The brothers will be back eventually, but with that kind of workload, we should have plenty of time to ourselves. *meets eyes again with a coy smile* At the very least, we can spend some quality time together.

Simeon: I’ll let the others at Purgatory Hall know. *eyes crinkle happily* I’ll tell them that I’m housesitting with you while the brothers are away. If I call it a sleepover, they’ll want to come too, so phrasing is important. 

*fade to HOL kitchen*

Simeon: *nods thoughtfully* Now... Since we’ve got the place to ourselves, why don’t we make something to eat? *smiles* I’ll check the fridge.

*opens fridge door* 

Simeon: *expression falls in realization* Ah... It’s empty.

Beel ate everything this morning.

Simeon: *laughs sympathetically* I figured. We wouldn’t want the brothers coming home to an empty fridge ((why not)), so we should do some grocery shopping.

–

2. Let’s go shopping!

Simeon: *smiles with a noise of agreement* Yes, that way we can pick whatever we want, so it works out for everyone. 

–

3. Why don’t we eat out?

Simeon: *laughs in delight, eyes crinkling* That sounds like a date as well. *smiles, so generous to the undeserving* But the brothers will be hungry when they get back, so I’d like to get them something too.

3. A) All right, shopping it is.

Simeon: *nods enthusiastically, motivated hum* Yes, that’s our first mission for the sleepover. 

3. B) That’s really kind of you!

Simeon: *touches back of neck with a bashful dip of his head, smiling in amusement* Would you be disappointed in me if I told you that it’s mostly because I want to spend some time with you in the kitchen? Well, we just got here, but I guess we’re off again.

–

Simeon: *hopeful smile* We can take it nice and slow, and treat it like a date. 

––––––––

monSOLO: Simeon's really enjoying this.

––––––––

*Devildom supermarket*

Simeon: *kindly, relaxed* What do you want for dinner, Chise?

Let’s eat party-style!

Simeon: *grins happily, shoulders shaking in amusement* Right, it needs to feel like a sleepover. We’ll need plenty of snacks.

–

2. You pick.

Simeon: *smiles* Okay, let’s go with a café-style arrangement then. That trip to Crimson Street is still fresh in my mind. *smile broadens in excitement* We’ll make it look stylish so we can remember the trip while we eat.

–

Simeon: *giggles under his breath, eyes soft with hope* Hehe. I wonder what people think of us when they see us shopping together like this? 

That we’re a couple who lives together?

Simeon: *touches back of neck while shyly peeking out from the corner of his eye* You’re probably right. *smiles, though brow furrows with longing hope* It’s hard not to smile just thinking about it.

–

2. That we’re running an errand?

Simeon: *flinches, eyes widening* Do you think people who’ve been sent out on an errand smile this much? *looks down with a deep, self-conscious blush, rubbing back of his neck* I can’t help but think of us living together someday...and that makes me so happy.

––– Route 1 –––

Simeon: *shakes head with a sigh of regret* The brothers sure are lucky. They get to go shopping with you like this all the time. 

You’re the only one who makes my heart pound, though.

Simeon: *taken aback* Really? *laughs under his breath, holding gaze meaningfully* If you keep saying cute things like that, I’ll want to do a whole lot more. 

Simeon: *shy, flirtatious smile, keeping gaze locked* Say... Can we hold hands?

ACCEPT:

A) Yes, let’s.

Simeon: *eyes crinkle with joy* Now everyone will know that we’re a couple.

– – – – 

REJECT (100% SKIPPABLE WOW):

B) Not now...

Simeon: *hums in disappointment, expression saddening* Okay... I’m so excited that it’s hard to hold back.

– – – – 

––– Route 2 –––

Simeon: The brothers sure are lucky. They get to go shopping with you like this all the time. 

2. It’s nice being with family.

Simeon: *smiles* Yeah. It’s hard not to be a little jealous of them.

––– End of Routes

Simeon: *eyes widen in surprise* ...Wow, we picked up a lot of stuff while we were talking. *smiles encouragingly* Do we have everything we need? Let me know if there’s anything else you want.

*fade to MC’s bedroom*

Simeon: *laughs in delight, smiling happily* Ah, I feel much better now. The bath in the House of Lamentation is so roomy. 

We should get in together next time.

Simeon: *eyes widen* Together? *looks down with a hum of deep regret, blushing fiercely while he very much kicks himself* Right... I almost feel stupid for not inviting you in the first place. *torn, pained smile* Haha, could you imagine?

–

2. You should see Asmo’s bathroom.

Simeon: *nods* Right, he has a really fancy one. 

–

Simeon: *brows furrow with sympathetic worry* Are the brothers still at their remedial classes? If they’re not back by now, they’re probably getting ready to spend the night at RAD. 

–––– Route 1 ––––

Simeon: *smiles gently* It’s getting pretty late, so we should get to bed. 

Can we sleep together?

Simeon: Of course. Why would I refuse? 

*the lights in MC’s bedroom dim, the room now bathed only in soft moonlight*

*soft fwumph*

Simeon: *smiles sheepishly* Hehe, the sheets are already warm from your body heat.

Simeon: *begins to squirm around to get comfortable*

*swish*

Simeon: *eyes widen* Ah, sorry. My hand brushed you.

A) You startled me...

Simeon: *shakes head with an apologetic hum* It wasn’t on purpose. *hiding disappointment* I might move around in my sleep, so I’ll give you some space. 

––

B) I like it when you touch me.

Simeon: *relaxes with a soft, affectionate smile* Would you rather hold my hand or sleep on my arm?

B-1) Hold hands.

Simeon: *gentle, relaxed smile* Wrap your fingers around mine so we don’t slip apart. I guess I should apologize in advance. I might wrap my other arm around you in my sleep. *laughs softly under his breath, smiling teasingly* But you wouldn’t mind that, would you?

B-2) Arm pillow.

Simeon: *nods in gentle assent, eyes soft* Here you go. 

*fwuff*

Simeon: *dips head with a soft, happy laugh* Hehe, I can smell your shampoo. *smiles shyly, self-conscious* We’ll share the same perfume tonight. 

––

Simeon: *nods gently, soft and kind* Good night.

–––– Route 2 ––––

Simeon: It’s getting pretty late, so we should get to bed. 

2. I’ll sleep on the sofa.

Simeon:  *shakes head in sad protest* Come on, I can’t make you do that. *smiles reassingly* You sleep in your own bed, okay? I’ll sleep on the sofa.

*fade to black*

Simeon: Hey, are you asleep yet?

2. A) I can’t sleep... 

Simeon: Me neither... 

*short time skip*

*fade back into MC’s room, lights on*

*bweep!*

Simeon: Huh? *frowns with a nod* Like this?

*bonk!*

Simeon: *startled jump* Nk…! 

*bad video game noise*

Simeon: *shoulders slump with his groan* Ah, I lost again... *smiles* Still, this game is a lot of fun. I can see why you got so into it when you borrowed it from Leviathan. *smile broadens cheerfully* We’ll probably end up falling asleep with the controllers in our hands.

––

*fade to black*

Simeon: Hey, are you asleep yet?

2. B) ...

*fade to MC’s room with the lights off*

Simeon: *smiles fondly* Fast asleep, huh? *yawns*... I’m starting to feel drowsy myself. *softly* Good night...

––––––––

Belphie: This is all Mammon's fault.

––––––––

The next morning...

Simeon: Rise and shine, Chise. 

*opens eyes to MC’s bedroom*

Simeon: *smiling cheerfully* Good morning.

Is it morning already?

Simeon: *so sweetly* If you wake up now, you can take your time eating breakfast. I already made it, after all. 

–

2. I think I need a good-morning kiss... 

*Simeon leans in for a soft kiss*

Simeon: *smiles bashfully* ...How’s that? Feeling better?

2. A) Like a million bucks.

Simeon: *giggles in amusement* Glad to hear it. Come on, breakfast is waiting. 

2. B) Five more minutes...

Simeon: *expression softens* Then I’ll just have to tease you until you wake up. What should I do next? 

2. B-1) Another kiss, please.

Simeon: *laughs softly, eyes intimate* You’re cuter than usual when you’ve just woken up...

*soft kiss*

Simeon: *smiles* One for your eyes.

*another soft kiss* 

Simeon: *peeks out from under fringe with his loving smile* And one for your nose.

*and another soft kiss*...

2. B-2) Get in here.

Simeon: *nods happily* If you insist. *soft, loving tease* I’ll hug you with everything I’ve got.

*fwuff*

Simeon: …

Simeon: Oh my… 

(Angel boner)

Simeon: Lying next to you like this, feeling your warmth and the beating of your heart... 

Simeon: *looks aside with a sigh, shaking head regretfully* No... This is no good. *blush rises to his cheeks, avoiding eye contact to hold back his longing* I won’t be able to control myself at this rate. 

(More angel boner)

–

Simeon: By the way, it looks like none of the brothers ended up coming home last night. *grimaces with a hum of concern* They haven’t read any of my messages either. Something must have happened at RAD. 

Simeon: As much as I’d love to keep enjoying the morning together...I can’t help but be a little worried. We should go check on them after we’ve had breakfast.

*time skip*

*fade to RAD classroom*

Simeon: *raises hand in cheerful greeting* Good mo—

Lucifer: *arms crossed, shouting, lecturing his head off* You insufferable morons! It’s been a full day already! How have you not finished this yet?!

Mammon: *pissed glare, shaking head in protest* We ain’t gettin’ anywhere because ya yelled at us all through the friggin’ night!

Lucifer: *narrows eyes dangerously, shrouding in dark smoke* And whose fault is that?! *eyes murderously flat* Or was it my fault that the moment I stepped out to speak with Lord Diavolo, you all decided to throw a party?

Satan: *shakes head reasonably* We weren’t fooling around, Lucifer. We were patrolling the grounds to ensure there weren’t any misdeeds being carried out inside RAD.

Asmo: *nods enthusiastically with his bubbly smile* Yeah! What he said! *looks aside with a wince* ...But then Beel got into the cafeteria...

Beel: *clutches stomach sadly* I was so hungry I couldn’t control myself... 

Mammon: *grins way too happily for someone about to be smoked out of existence* And, as responsible older brothers, we couldn’t let him shoulder that guilt alone, we all helped ourselves to some food and drink.

Belphie: *slumps with a sigh, pouting* I was asleep the whole time. Didn’t see a thing.

Levi: *glowers in protest* I was watching late night anime in the AV room! I had nothing to do with it!

Lucifer: *furious scowling* Do ANY of those activities sound like classwork to you?!

Simeon: *giggles in amusement* Well, looks like we were worried over nothing. It was business as usual.

Beel: *raises brows in surprise* Oh, it’s Simeon and Chise.

Levi: *sits up with a horrified gasp* Hold on, why are you two coming to school together?!

It’s a secret ♡

Satan: *shakes head with a scowl* That’s something you only say when you’ve got something to hide. 

Mammon: *hands on hips, glaring daggers* Simeon, you bastard! I knew you’d do somethin’ to Chise when I wasn’t around!

Asmo: *gasps in cheerful, scandalized delight, happy heart sparkles* Oh my gosh, stop! Did you guys do something dirty?!

Levi: *glowers darkly* This is the PDA police! Put your hands in the air, Simeon!

Simeon: *loses it with laughter* Hahahaha!

Mammon: Quit laughin’!

–

2. Relax, guys.

Simeon: *shakes head with a sugar-sweet smile* Right. Nothing happened.

Belphie: *glares in suspicion* Sure, that’s what they all say.

Simeon: *giggles, controlling his pleasant expression* We just enjoyed our time together, that’s all.

Beel: *wide-eyed gasp of HORRFIED realization* Did you guys eat dinner together?!

Asmo: *smiles sweetly* You think that’s all they did?

Mammon: *glares, nodding with panic* It was just dinner! Right?! If you’re lyin’, heaven better help ya, ’cause ya ain’t gettin’ any mercy from me!

Levi: *gasps* Oh! That’s Mr. Gold’s catchphrase from the period drama Eternal Mountain! *erupts into a ton of happy sparkling, smiling adorably* You’ve seen that?!

–

Lucifer: *thunderous shouting* SILENCE! How long do you idiots intend to keep babbling?!

Simeon: *laughs, shaking head ruefully* At this rate, they might be in here for another day... *steps closer with a flirtatious smile* Hey, Chise. We should do a sleepover again sometime.

Text chat: What They Really Got Up To (from Brothers No More)

––––––––

A) Don’t worry. I won’t show anyone else.

Barbatos: *smiles in sincere delight, happy sparkles* I am happy to hear that. Although, at the same time, I would love to show you off to the others. *shakes head, smiling sheepishly* It is sort of a mixed feeling, you see? 

B) You’re too kind!

Barbatos: *smiles sincerely* I am simply stating what I think. 

–

2.I don’t want to get it dirty...

Barbatos: *smiles pleasantly* Then let us stop here. *eyes crinkle* I am glad that you wish to take good care of it. 

–

Barbatos: *rests chin on knuckles with a pensive sigh* Still, it is something of a waste... There simply aren’t any opportunities to wear a kimono in the Devildom. *closes eyes with a furrowed brow, humming softly in thought* Hmm... 

*brief, pondering pause*

Barbatos: *opens eyes with a soft smile, holding gaze* I have an idea. Why don’t we celebrate the new year as they do in the human world? I have heard that there are some New Year’s celebrations where kimonos are the proper attire.

Sounds fun!

Barbatos: *nods, expression soft* However, it will have to wait for another day, as I need to make some preparations first. *smiles affectionately* All I would ask of you is that you come here wearing that kimono on the day. 

–

2. Would that be possible?

Barbatos: *expression grows pensive, touching his chin in his considering concern*You must be lonely what with not being able to properly celebrate the New Year here in the Devildom, correct? *chuckles, eyes crinkling with affection* Although I am unfamiliar with human world customs, I shall do my best to arrange something similar.

––––––––

Mammoney: Take a photo at least!

––––––––

*Demon Lord’s Castle grand hall*

*Barbatos’ song plays: Leisure Time* 

Barbatos: *expression soft, butler’s posture* Thank you for coming, Chise. *laughs in delight, smiling gratefully* I am glad to see that you are wearing the kimono I gave you the other day. *inclines head, eyes soft* You look lovely. It suits you very well. 

Barbatos: Now then, shall we start the festivities? *shakes head regretfully* I am afraid the Young Master is otherwise occupied and will be unable to attend... 

How unfortunate.

Barbatos: *grimaces* Yes, indeed. *chuckles, eyes crinkling* Let us try to enjoy the occasion on his behalf.

–

2. So it’s just the two of us, huh?

Barbatos: *chuckles bashfully, pleased* Yes, it would appear so. I have made many preparations, so I hope it is to your liking. Please enjoy it.

–

*fade to Demon Lord’s Castle lake grounds*

Barbatos: *pleasantly* This is something I found at the antique store. It appears to be a New Year’s fortune box containing wooden sticks with numbers on them. 

Barbatos: *nods to himself, touching chin thoughtfully* I have heard that on New Year’s, humans draw these sticks and exchange them for corresponding slips of paper with fortunes. It seems to be a major custom in the human world. Are you familiar with it? 

Barbatos: *dips head, voice soft* I thought it sounded interesting, so I prepared some papers with fortunes written on them… *smiles bashfully, a bit embarrassed* Since the numbers go all the way up to 100, I had to write a considerable number of fortunes.

Wait, you wrote ALL of them?!

Barbatos: *smiles happily, delighted sparkles* Yes. It has been a while since I used a pencil. It was quite enjoyable.

–

2. You did all of this for me...?

Barbatos: *chuckles affectionately, with barely-contained flattery* No need to worry, I enjoyed making them. However, I did not actually predict your future. These are more for atmospheric purposes.

–

Barbatos: *nods* Now then, go ahead, Chise.

*sound of paper rustling*

Barbatos: You pulled number seven, correct? Number seven... Ah, here it is.

*sound of paper unfolding*

Barbatos: Let us check your fortune. *chuckles, happy sparkles of delight* It says that you have excellent luck. Shall I read you the rest of your fortune? 

What does it say about health?

Barbatos: “No serious illness or injuries. You will lead a happy and healthy year.” *quiet laugh, smiling* That is good to hear, Chise. 

–

2. What does it say about academics?

Barbatos: “You will get very good grades this year.” *smiles affectionately* Of course, that is because you are a brilliant student to begin with. 

–

3. Tell me about my love life!

Barbatos: *holds gaze* “Things will go well with the person you like this year.” 

3. A) The perfect fortune!

Barbatos: *chuckles, smiling* What a lovely smile. 

3. B) So that means things will go well between us!

Barbatos: *inclines head with a pleased smile* Yes, I think so too. *eyes crinkle happily* I hope that we can continue to deepen our relationship. 

––––––––

Belphie: I can't help but suspect tha...

––––––––

*Leisure Time continues to play* 

Barbatos: *relaxed* Since everything is already set up, I shall draw my fortune as well. 

*rustling of paper*

Barbatos: Let me see, number ninety-three… 

*sound of paper unfolding*

Barbatos: *quirks a small smile* Oh my, I also got excellent luck.

Is that really a coincidence?!

Barbatos: *chuckles, amused* We match. 

–

2. That’s great!

Barbatos: *chuckles, amused* It is a good sign, isn’t it? 

–

Barbatos: *nods* My fortune says, “If you wish for it, all of your dreams will come true. Travel: You should go to your favorite place with someone special.” *another quirk of a smile* ...Romance: You will further deepen your love with the target of your affections.” 

Barbatos: *inclines head, meeting eyes with flirtatious gaze* ...I see. I suppose I must get to it, then.

With who?!

Barbatos: *raises brows in surprise* Oh? Are you unaware? *smiles bashfully* It seems I shall have to try harder. 

–

2. Let’s do just that!

Barbatos: *laughs in delight, smiling** Your quick intuition certainly helps. *locks eyes with a meaningful look; smooth flirtation* We will have to take our time and thoroughly deepen our love later. 

–

Barbatos: There is a theory that tying your fortune to a tree will make your wishes come true. Shall we tie them to this tree? *inclines head, soft and relaxed* I will put mine somewhere around here. They say that tying it higher up is preferable.

I’ll tie mine here.

Barbatos: It seems that you have also finished. 

–

2. I want to put mine a little higher.

Barbatos: Even higher? Then allow me to help. *nod* I will hold you up while you tie it to one of the upper branches. Are you ready?

*camera shake, soft fwump*

Barbatos: *holding close, gazing up softly* How is it? Are you finished? *eyes crinkle with heartfelt affection* I will let you down, then. 

*pause*

Barbatos: *inclines head in approval, still standing close* It seems that you were able to tie it securely. 

–

Barbatos: What kind of wish did you make? 

That’s a secret!

Barbatos: I see. *chuckles, amused* I have heard that wishes spoken aloud will not come true, so I shall refrain from saying anything as well. 

–

2. I think I wished for the same thing you did, Barbatos.

Barbatos: *raises brows in surprise* The same as me, you say? *breaks out into a smile, chuckling in delight* If that is the case, then I am sure that our wishes will come true. 

–

Barbatos: *affectionate, gaze soft* Well, shall we head back inside? I have prepared another little treat for you. *smile widens* I do hope that you will enjoy today’s New Year's celebrations to the fullest. 

––––––––

Lucifer: Come to think of it, I also re...

––––––––

*back in Barbatos’ room*

Barbatos: I have attempted to recreate some traditional osechi dishes. *smiles eagerly* It is customary in a certain country to not only wear a kimono as the new year approaches, but also to eat this special food in hopes of bringing a happy and healthy year.

Barbatos: *reaches, producing boxes* The dishes are placed in multi-tiered lacquer boxes. Shall I go ahead and open yours? 

Wow, that’s a perfect replication! 

Barbatos: *inclines head, pleased* Thank you for your kind words. *chuckles* This is merely an imitation but I am glad to hear you say that. 

–

2. It’s not quite right but you’re one talented butler!

Barbatos: *inclines head, smiling* Well, I made it with Devildom ingredients, after all. In particular, the pink and white fish cakes were difficult to reproduce, so they became green and purple instead. 

–

3. I don’t know about the accuracy but as long as it’s yummy!

Barbatos: *inclines head* I am quite confident in the taste. *eyes crinkle* Please help yourself. 

–

Barbatos: This is a gift from the Young Master. It is a special kind of Demonus. Note the cloudy colour. It is made by adding pickled poisonous lizard eggs and letting them ferment. *smile widens* It may resemble milk, but it has a delectable sweet taste.

I think I’ll hold off on this one... 

Barbatos: *raises brows in surprise* Oh, really? I see. *smiles* Then, shall I pour you your usual Demonus instead? 

–

2. Sounds good! Don’t mind if I do!

Barbatos: *pleased* By all means. I am sure you will like it. It is quite a rare drink, so I am also looking forward to sampling it. 

–

Barbatos: *holds out hands* Ah, please wait a moment. I still have some finishing touches to add. 

Barbatos: *smiles proudly* What do you think? Quite beautiful, are they not? These are lacquered sake cups. I originally went to the antique store to find these cups.

Barbatos: Drinking out of them will add to the ambiance, don’t you think? Allow me.

*sound of pouring*

Let me pour you a cup too, Barbatos.

Barbatos: *raises brows in surprise* Are you sure? 

*sound of pouring*

Barbatos: *inclines head, eyes soft with affection* Thank you. *raises hand* Let us make a toast. Cheers!

*glasses clink gently*

Barbatos: *sincere, cheerful laugh, smiling happily* It tastes even better since you poured it for me.

–

2. Let’s make a toast!

Barbatos: Here is to the new year... *raises hand* Cheers!

*glasses gently clink*

Barbatos: *pleased, smile, delighted* ...Just as I thought, this Demonus is superb.

–

Barbatos: Shall we try the New Year’s dishes as well? Please help yourself to whatever you like. 

*small time skip*

Barbatos: *chuckles, smiling wide, happy sparkles* I feel wonderful. *sheepish* I was so enjoying your company that I appear to have overindulged a little. It is easy to become intoxicated with this Demonus, after all.

–––– Route 1 ––––

Barbatos: *looks aside with a shy blush* …Chise, why don’t you come a little closer?

I think I’m fine here, thanks.

Barbatos: *looks down with a soft sigh of disappointment* I see… What a pity. *meets eyes again, soft* Would you like seconds? Or would you like to do something else instead?

A) I think I’ll have some more food.

Barbatos: Certainly. I recommend the shadow sea bream sashimi. The texture is chewy and the taste wonderfully sweet.

Barbatos: Allow me. Here you are.

Barbatos I am very glad to see that you are enjoying your meal. I could never grow tired of watching you. Please, do not be shy and eat as much as you would like. I made plenty of food. I will do my very best so that I can see your smile even more this year.

B) What’s your New Year’s resolution?

Barbatos: My New Year’s resolution? *hums, looks down thoughtfully* Hm... *nods* I will strive to continue serving the Young Master as his faithful butler. *smiles* And also...to deepen my bond with you. *chuckles softly* Those are my goals for the new year. 

Barbatos: To that purpose, I hope that we will be able to spend more time together. *eyes crinkle* I am looking forward to it.

End.

–––– Route 2 ––––

Barbatos: *looks aside with a shy blush* …Chise, why don’t you come a little closer?

2. Sure.

*rustling noises, cuddling closer to Barbatos*

Barbatos: *meets eyes with a loving look, cheeks pink* Finally, I can feel your touch... May I kiss you?

2. A) My heart isn’t ready for this!

Barbatos: *smiles softly* Understood. Let’s save the kiss for another time, then. *shakes head, pouting a bit* Although I must admit...you look so lovely in that kimono that restraining myself is a Herculean task.

Barbatos: *smiles shyly, hopeful* Let us do as my fortune said and deepen our love this year... All right?

2. B) Go ahead.

*closes eyes, kissing Barbatos*

Barbatos: *smiling sweetly, leaning close* ...Is your kimono bothering you? Allow me to loosen it up a little for you... 

*rustle of fabric*

Barbatos: *looks aside with a blush, embarrassed* ...Oh dear, where are my manners? Whenever I’m with you, I can’t seem to hold myself back. You certainly have a way of leading me astray. *teasing pout* You will have to take responsibility for that.

Barbatos: *inclines head, gaze soft and flirtatious* Let us deepen our love... Just as it said in my fortune, Chise...

End.

2. That does sound lonely.

Simeon: *touches back of neck with a pained smile* Yes. If only...

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?

Simeon: *smile widens, eyes crinkling* Hehe. Nothing.

–

2. Let him stay in your room, Lucifer.

Lucifer: *shakes head firmly* No.

Simeon: *smiles sweetly* But why?

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: *sighs, narrowing eyes pissily, looking murderous*… 

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.

Barbatos: *straightens in surprise, wide-eyed* Oh, my. How did a vampire bat make its way in here?

Little D. No.2: Stop, you vampire bat!

Asmo: *dismayed shriek* Eek! Number 2, stooop! The food’s going to fall!

*flash of white, spell goes off*

Lucifer: *sighs, shaking head*

Barbatos: *heavy sigh of relief* Thank you very much, Lucifer. The shadow hog quiche was about to be ruined.

Lucifer: Speaking of which, where did that bat fly off to?

Asmo: Hmm... Oh! Over there!

Let’s attack it from both sides!

Asmo: *engaged smile, determined* Okay! I’ll take this one, so the other’s all yours!

*running footsteps*

Asmo: *jumps back in surprise, wide-eyed* Huh?! Number 2, get out of the way!

*camera shakes*

Little D. No.2: OUCH! ...Asmodeus, please don’t bump into me like that all of a sudden!

–

2. What if we tried luring it with food?

Barbatos: *nods, smiling approval* We may as well.

Lucifer: Look here, vampire bat. I have some bufo egg jelly cake for you.

Barbatos: …*grimaces, shakes head* It appears to be ignoring the food.

Asmo: *dismayed* Aww, it got away!

DDSimeon: It's quite a waste that the...

Little D. No.2: I’ll get you this time!

Asmo: *alarmed, raises hands* Number 2, wait! That way’s the extra-large...! 

*shattering noise*

Barbatos: *sighs softly, resigned* Oh, dear... He crashed headfirst into the cake.

Is he okay?

Little D. No.2: ...Your special recipe sure is yummy, Mr. Barbatos!

Asmo: Guess that answers that question, though I can’t say the same for the cake.

–

2. I was looking forward to eating that... 

Lucifer: *annoyed glare, shaking head with an exasperated sigh* While that’s a shame, it’s currently the least of our concerns.

–

Little D. No.2: I’ll get it with this cake!

*whips cake*

Barbatos: *eyes widen* …!

Little D. No.2: ...Whoops.

Asmo: *smiles* Wow, Barbatos is covered from head to toe in cake... *giggles in delight* Ooh, I just love it when a total cutie-pie gets even sweeter ♡

Lucifer: *scowls disapprovingly* Keep it to yourself, Asmo.

Diavolo: *cheerful, smiling* I see you’re all having fun!

Lucifer: *another exasperated sigh* Trust me, this has been anything but.

Asmo: *groans, nodding agreement* It’s a disaster! There’s this vampire bat flying around causing this huge mess!

Diavolo: *chuckles merrily* Ah, so that’s what was causing all the commotion. It seemed like quite the fitting gothic party guest, but...if it’s causing so much damage, then I suppose we have no choice but to ask it to leave. 

--------

monSOLO: It's going to be quite the me...

Diavolo: *beaming* Lucifer, over there!

Lucifer: I’ll try to halt its movements with magic.

*spell goes off*

Lucifer: *pissy glare* …It’s quite fast. It evaded my attack by a hair.

*smack*

Asmo: *yelps* Eek! It’s on my head! *pissy scowl* Hmph! I was having such a good hair day, too! Naughty children get punished, you know!

*spell goes off*

Little D. No.2: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Asmo: *winces* Whoopsie, my bad!

Little D. No.2: Coming at me like that with magic... Now, that’s just cruel!

Asmo: It wasn’t on purpose!

Little D. No.2: Apology NOT accepted!

*something whips through the air*

Diavolo: *sighs, shaking head, arms crossed* Now, now, Number 2. There’s no need to throw the poison caterpillar fritters.

*another something whips through the air*

Barbatos: *soft dismay* Asmodeus, I ask that you please refrain from throwing the ball-joint doll, as it happens to be very valuable.

Belphie: Sorry, I’m late… *stops in tracks, recoiling in shock* ...Uh, what happened here?

Levi: *perplexed alarm* What’s with the cursed doll flying around?!

Beel: *munch* *munch*... Whatever the other thing was, it’s delicious.

That was a poisoned caterpillar fritter.

Beel: *chuckles, smiling happily* I see. Give me some more.

Asmo: *glares, scolding* If you keep your mouth open, won’t another fly in?

–

2. A bunch of stuff happened... *explains*

Levi: …*shakes head* So, that’s why there’s a cursed doll getting tossed around.

Belphie: *bored apathy* Looks like a hassle... Message received.

Mammon: *grinning wide* Yo! The Great Mammon has arrived!

*whoosh*

Mammon: *jumps, wide-eyed* Hey, watch it! Something just came at me!

A vampire bat.

Mammon: *frowns* Hold up, what the hell’s a vampire bat doin’ at this party? ...Look man, ya can’t keep gettin’ all up in my space. *straight-up grabs it out of the air*

Asmo: Nice catch, Mammon!

–

2. Grab that thing!

Mammon: *deftly snatches it out of the air* ...You mean this?

–

Lucifer: *deadpan* Mammon, hold still.

Mammon: Wha—?!

Lucifer: *narrows eyes, enveloped in powerful aura* Hear my voice and heed my command. These words are sound...the sound, melody. And through it I bind thee, and rob thee of thy freedom. *intense glare* Lucifer, the Avatar of Pride commands thee! Halt!

*spell goes off*

Mammon: Huuuuh?! *scowls, yelling* Hey, watch it! You ain’t supposed to stop me as well!

Asmo: *sing-song cheering, beaming smile* Way to go, Lucifer!

Diavolo: *smiles, nods in approval* There, now we can resume the party without any worries.

Barbatos: *dismayed, unhappy sigh* Even so, the venue itself has become quite the mess... 

Little D. No.2: Jeez, that darn vampire bat!

Lucifer: *flat glare* ...You’re equally at fault, you know.

Little D. No.2: Tee-hee ♡

Lucifer: *sighs* Let’s hurry and clean up this mess so we can continue with the party.

Asmo: *positive, upbeat smile* Roger that! Come on, let’s get to it!

Diavolo: Did you have a good time at the gothic party?

Diavolo: Between planning the menu and settling on the décor, even the planning stages were great fun.

You guys nailed the theme!

Diavolo: I’m happy to hear it.

–

2. I had fun, too.

Diavolo: That’s the most important thing.

Diavolo: 😁🥳

Diavolo: Still, it was a surprise…
