On genessia Progress and his worldly complaints

[beareroflight]

Woman, I must say, you haven't disappointed me. I admit, my hands have been anything but idle.

But,

What is this I hear about you summoning my 'kouhais', as you so elegantly put it?

The Princess of Gehenna, I do not mind. She's powerful and I don't mind putting her dragons to exceptionally good use. The Messiah...[A long and disturbing sigh.].

But Mister Arrogant himself? No thank you. Don't even try finding him for me. I really do not need him.

Why don't you make yourself useful and find those I can actually have good use for. My seven satans. I don't mind having the Worthless one there either.

I know my human self needs an easier time paying rent, but your manner of solving the issue disturbs me greatly.

Having conflicts with your master? And here, most would be grateful for kinsmen of the same world.

[beareroflight]

If you met the bastard, then you wouldn't say that.

[crimsoneye]

Isn't that subjective?

[He probably wouldn't, but for the sake of conversation and entertainment, he'll be an advocate.]

[beareroflight]

Who cares? It's the truth. [Prince of Lies. No, no. Don't do this to him.]

[crimsoneye]

Evidently you care.

[Why protest so strongly otherwise?]

[beareroflight]

Let's just say, I'd be damned if I have to share an apartment with him.

[indecent_butterfly]

Are you so bored you seek this Ones company?

[beareroflight]

Not minding does not equate to seeking.

[indecent_butterfly]

A minor difference in definition, for you did still make mention and that is quite enough.

[beareroflight]

[A shallow sigh.]

Is your existence so lowly that you would consider both things to be similar?

[indecent_butterfly]

How well you would know the worth of Ones existence. And yet...only from you.

[beareroflight]

Do not flatter yourself. Stop deluding yourself in believing you deserve a speck of my attention.

[indecent_butterfly]

This humble soul knows well enough it is not deserved, that does nothing to stop the desire. Which is why One comes when called and why such a worthless thing shall stay no matter the command.

[beareroflight]

I would not desire anything from you.

[Yet, Lucifer knows that among his satans, only Belial was truly loyal to him. Following Lucifer not just because he was scared to die, but something else. And he would exploit it.]

Yet would you answer the call, still.

[indecent_butterfly]

[As if anything else were to be expected?]

What greater wish could One have but to be of use to Ones Lord?

[beareroflight]

[Happily, no.]

We're in understanding then, that I do not need you to be there.

[indecent_butterfly]

Of course. One would never suggest otherwise.

[beareroflight]

Yet, you will still willfully follow?

[Yet, before even asking, he already had an idea of the Mad Hatter's response.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Don't ask silly questions, that's Hatter's job.]

Where else does a jester belong but at the feet of their king? One did swear to follow even before signing Ones name. Nothing has changed that.

[beareroflight]

[Isn't it amazing that Lucifer will always question Hatter of all people. Hatter who serves him the most.]

Yes. King. And yet, I find myself in a place with many claiming to be king, whilst some proclaim to be overlords. The fools.

[indecent_butterfly]

[It's a jester's job to provide those answers others will not, because of fear or other causes, for a fool has no fear of losing their head as it's already gone.]

Their claims matter not but to make them easier to prey upon.

[beareroflight]

Who knew you were capable of such thoughts?

[That was what he appreciated about Hatter. He never led her on, but the relevance of her services was clearly evident. Hatter was useful. Not just on a power level, but in both counsel and other services. Others feared Lucifer, though they would proclaim otherwise. Hatter was different. Masochistic as she maybe, Hatter knew no fear. Her pride was boundless. It was her strength. Something that allowed her to serve Lucifer all those aeons without boring him.]

Their desires are superficial. Wealth, obedience and... pudding cups. Shameful.

[indecent_butterfly]

The list is rather long of those who have experienced it first hand; however, One would not wish to bore you with such things.

[That and most are dead.

Also...pudding cups?]

Greed has always been one of their major faults. They are simple enough, it's finding that which trips up each one that makes them fun however.

[beareroflight]

Neither do I wish to hear of it. You should be competent enough to know how to keep your affairs in order.

[However, he doesn't doubt Hatter's capabilities. Not one bit. But all species on earth would seize to exist before he utters such words of confidence.

Pudding cups. One cup per person. Should be submitted in a monthly basis.]

They believe themselves to be superior when the only thing they have is money. Nothing more. Watching them struggle to get to such heights, only to fall so quickly can be rather entertaining.

[confined_to_briah]

You're losing control.
