They move aside, unable to meet his gaze.

I'm concerned about the perspectives I see here, and I shouldn't be. I've seen them before, in another time, place. Their power is less than what they'd like to believe, and here they are still fucking around with mortals as they do in every incarnation. 'Mortal' is a term used loosely in this place, I've learned, but there hasn't been an incident to prove otherwise that people are 'only human' under their will. I'm no judge of moral character either, but I remember something He said, before the second fall.

What power would Hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven.

I wasn't there, but I can hear it clearly.

That was deep~ ♥

Evening, Mad Hatter. Can I ask you something?

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

You can ask, Alex, but one doesn't assure you an honest answer or an answer at all.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

The benefit of gaining permission without first stating my interests.

Are these 'curses' clockwork by nature?

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

They usually endure 24 hours if you ask. But there was rain and snow that lasted three. So one could detect a patter of a day or three days, yes.

((OOC: Oh. Thanks for the Thessaly scans!)).

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

There's no particular pattern as to when they come?

((OOC: You're very welcome.))

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

One doesn't know. Speak with Alexiel, she's the one among us who takes this seriously.

[tiaxdalma.livejournal.com]

None at all.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

How did you come to be here, by the by.

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

By going through the wrong wall~ ♥

[ex-janvalent852.livejournal.com]

What if somebody doesn't feel like they're trapped here?

[noh-dancer.livejournal.com]

I'm not an expert or anything, but one week it seems like every two days, and the next it could be every three days...

And then of course there's the curses that last for three days straight.

Maybe it switches off? Odd numbers, to even?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

You're charming for a riddler.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you yet.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know, but I'd take pleasure in not being misled to think so.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

If you could understand how that works, I'd bet you could conjure a curse that freezes the clock for its duration.

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

It was an honest answer!

But many thanks for the compliment. ♥

[noh-dancer.livejournal.com]

Well, the hitch in that is you would have to have the ability to 'conjure'

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Question!

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Only proper for me to return the favor, yes?

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Is "He" God~?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

To my understanding there are some people here who fancy themselves magefolk.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

No, not the one you're referring to anyway.

[noh-dancer.livejournal.com]

Eh...I have trouble wrapping my head around the 'magic' thing.

There are too many different ideas on what magic is here, so who's to say which would actually work, if any at all.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

If people want to preserve their livelihoods here it's probably a good idea to try everything.

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

There's more than one?

That would be terrible. God was hard enough to kill.

[noh-dancer.livejournal.com]

Hmm
I suppose, but there's always the worry that whatever we do could cause more harm than good.

[tiaxdalma.livejournal.com]

You have not.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I've never met him, honestly. "He" is Dream, my master.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Ladies first.

[tiaxdalma.livejournal.com]

Tia Dalma.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Alex Corinth.

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Oh~! He sounds like an interesting fellow. ♥

But one doubts the demons in Hell dream of Heaven. Most of us want to take revenge of the Children of Heaven and find a good place to live.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

You could replace "Heaven" with "home" and they would still mean the same thing.

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Mmm~ Why did your Master say that?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

According to the stories The Morningstar underestimated His power and overestimated his own.

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

But Lord Lucifer was... slumbering until recently and one doesn't remember meeting any "Dream" (and one did run Sheol). ♥

Was his human incarnation? Kira Sakuya was very cocky. Even so, he is not foolish to underestimate dreams nor he wishes for Heaven or home either.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

This is a different Morningstar. There are parallels of many things in different realities.

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

It's still difficult to believe there are two Lord Lucifers. He's so unique and noble. ♥

Was the other obsessed with God's beloved Daughter too?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I don't think so, the Lucifer I know eventually abdicated his throne in Hell.

((OOC: Comments squish!))

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

So he actually stayed in Hell for a while and ran it?

Lord Lucifer... left his body behind to chase Lady Alexiel's during her rebel career then her every human incarnation as one found out recently.

He's probably in the City because he followed her here. ♥

((OOC: *squish* Poor Belial, ah well. Nothing can go between Alexiel and Lucifer, they have eons of messed up relationship)).

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Yes, he ruled there until he gave the key to My Lord, then the angels reclaimed it under God's name.

Even angels and devils are as mortal as the ones who fear them.

((OOC: No more squish now! And he's referring to Lucifer and Alexiel's humanistic relationship))

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

If you talk about feelings, we all are. God tried to forbid us to love but it didn't work very well~ ♥

Angels, humans, demons, to one those ranks are irrelevant.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Your G.o.d. doesn't sound anymore pleasant than The Morningstar's.

[proudbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Now, now, Lord Lucifer is noble and wise, he never imposed us anything and even gave his body for his people to be able to live in Gehenna.

Out of human religions trying to depict us. The Gnostic had the closest idea.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I consider myself fortunate to not be religious.

((OOC: Is that a misread XD?))
