Book 6; Video ~ almost right after Vox's

[Lucifer is talking almost absently while reading. Like this is just some afterthought.]

I'm not going to bother telling you all that TV Man is some liar, and that you shouldn't trust him.

Or that he's the manipulative type who probably needs validation just to get by.

I think I'll leave all that up to you, since I think you're all smart enough to figure him out.

[He flashes the camera a grin before ending it there. This sure was the pettiest thing the Barge has seen from him yet... and it may or may not get worse. Those on his Special Access Filter, who can sense it... They'll know he's got this creeping anxiety. A slow build of dread and insecurity.

Which is why it does eventually reach a point that closer CR are messaged at around 3 AM.]

CLOSED to Positive CR

Now that he's here...
It feels like this entire place just became even more prison-like.

MAKE HIM BRING BACK THE GOLDEN GIRLS.

This is ridiculous!

Honestly, it was so rude of him to interrupt such valuable time for some of you!

[It is so hard not to yell something like, WHAT A DICK.]

Well, fortunately, all it should take is you telling him how bad this makes him look~

My sincere apologies.

Will you need warden assistance in any way?

Fortunately, he... can't get to me the way he did, back home.

[But that doesn't give him as much comfort as he wishes it did.]

I know he has a warden, but I thought you should know that Hythlodaeus and I both have an eye on him.

I really appreciate you both. Neither of you is the type to fall for his... "charm".

Just wish that could get my head to shut up.

[ This is coming from Lucifer's device when Alastor has it in hand at some point with the same privacy filter. ]

I'm aware that you are the Warden for all unpaired Inmates only, but I recommend keeping an eye on Angel Dust. Vox has the ability to hypnotize individuals and Angel was one of his more hidden spies. The "programming" may be still active, even if I'm unsure how much of Vox's powers remain over this particular ability.

[ Alastor had laughed at the public network post when it went up, kissed Lucifer and did his best to ignore anything Vox-related. (Unsuccessfully, of course, but that's another thing.)

Now he pulls Lucifer close and peers through the dark at the screen to watch his boyfriend text and the responses that come in. ]

I'm sure there wouldn't be many protests if you tossed Vox off the ship a few times.

[He decides to take a break, turning to bury his face into Alastor's chest... but passing the device to Al so he can continue watching responses, if he wants.]

Unfortunately, I asked John to make it so the Dancer is paying more attention to me, than usual... Because I wanna do way worse than that.

How badly do you think I would get in trouble for slitting his throat or cutting his dick off a few times?????

[Thankfully she CAN'T but it's the thought that counts.]

Hmmmmmmm...
Maybe if you have a group helping you, it'd divide the punishment!

He does seem like a slick fucker.

How dangerous is he, besides his bullshitting?

[He takes a deep breath.]

So... basically, he managed to trick me and trap me inside a deadly weapon. Used me as "ammo" for that weapon, which was strong enough to blow up the Gates of Heaven themselves.

It's hard to say how much of a threat he'll be, here... but I trust you guys to be on top of whatever bullshit he tries to pull.

What is with the admiral lately.

[Her irritation over this choice is apparently enough to push her into voluntary social interaction with Lucifer.]

Of all the people for him to believe is redeemable...

[He lets out the weariest sigh.]

At this rate, I'm half-expecting Mammon to show up. Then we'll know for sure this Admiral has to be going through some sort of mid-existence crisis.

Lu? Are you going to be all right?

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure.
It's not everyday someone considers the guy that tormented your family, kidnapped you, essentially tortured you, and then destroyed most of your city to be...

Redeemable?

Seriously, what the fuck IS the Admiral thinking with this one?

Who is he?

Short version...?

A manipulative psychopath. He managed to kidnap me, terrorized and cyberbullied my daughter, essentially tortured me...

He used me to power this really terrifying weapon, and blew open the gates of Heaven with it. Used my family to start a war...

On top of that, he's obsessed with Alastor.

[Riddle, for his part, is sometimes a little too good at reading Lucifer...]

Him?

Him...

[dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnn]

I'm sure you have multiple assurances of people having their eye on him by now, dear, but I shall be doing the same. John and I have already spoken about the situation.

If he has powers or supernatural abilities to be concerned about, I would expect that he currently does not have access to them.

[He gives a soft noise of affirmation.]

Yes! John assured me that the two of you are on top of this.

And... now that I think about it, I am worried about his access to the devices. It has me wondering if he's able to, uh... see and hear all this? Any chance someone could doublecheck with the Admiral on that?

If someone... hasn't already...

modestpurpose - 2026-02-19 02:25 (UTC) - Expand

I'm sure you've got plenty of people offering help, but- if he tries to pull anything, let us know, okay? We'll get on it.

I haven't had to endure having anyone from my world here, much less people I hate. If it's any consolation, I suspect he'll be crashing into the harsh wall of reality here, sooner than he thinks.

I really hope so.

Somehow his ego manages to be even bigger than mine, which is impressive! Me being Deadly Sin of Pride, and all...

But, well... This place is pretty great at helping someone find friends.

I don't think the guy's got any real ones? He seems like the type to just always use people. So, I guess I can't help wondering about that after it did so much for me.

Hey, hi, Carl. I'm this guy's new warden. You want me to try and run interference at all? Not that I have... any guess how successful I'm gonna be. But if you'd rather handle it yourself that's fine, too.

Hey, Carl. Sorry you're getting a bit of a handful with this one. Um... please keep this between us?

... I'm mostly worried about Vox's Alastor fixation. Because while I do trust Alastor to be able to handle that, he's been doing really well here, and... I don't know how Vox will be towards him, yet. Or what kinds of wounds might get torn open, between them.

goddammitdonut - 2026-02-19 03:20 (UTC) - Expand

He does seem manipulative. Who is he?

An old friend of Alastor's who tried to take over Hell, and then Heaven. He used me, against my will, as "ammo" for his weapon in that.

Then there was all the cyberbullying and harassment he put my family through.

He's such a... mess to deal with.

So what you're saying is that I should befriend him immediately, as it takes one to know one, yes?

Okay, well, between you and me?

While he's all about playing games, I don't think he's even close to your level. Maybe you could even teach him a thing or two.

[Steven, normally all sunshine, is at the moment, wound as tight as a spring.]

You know him?

He's threatened by a loss of control, yeah? So this is him in a bad mood, it's just that the aggression comes out as competitive behavior?

Unfortunately, yes.

The demon was able to send Hell into an uprising against Heaven, and start up a war. Thankfully, he was put in his place! So... I'm hoping he came here from after that moment. So he's... not quite so arrogant and reckless.

Sometimes, people can make a place all the more harder.

What did he do to you? He sounds pretty rancid.

Luci...

You wanna come over? I can make us hot chocolate.

A manipulative liar, is he?

One might call that an interesting complaint coming from The Father of Lies. [Teehee.]

That's enough out of you, kiddo.

The adults are trying to have real conversations.
