Shaky Voicetesting. Not sure how he managed to get in here.

[I can't even handle your snark properly. You and I both know this, so why do keep on pestering me?]

It's not my fault if you're inexperienced with the way I talk to people. I'm not going to do any hand-holding, so you should jump in and gain some experience.

[I'm not Enoch. I can't learn how to ride a motorcycle just because you put it in front of me, and I'll really botch your speech patterns if I just dive in.

At this, Lucifel just shrugs.]

I wasn't expecting you to be on the same level as God's chosen, even though I'm still not sure how he's so different from the rest of you. He's not that important.

[Aren't you just jealous that God didn't choose you to go and seal up the Fallen Ones? After all, you did already know about it.]

Don't be ridiculous.

I know a psychologist who is excellent at treating Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Would you like his number?

[He arches an eyebrow. There's some faint amusement on his face, but shh.]

No thanks. I don't have it, despite what some people may think. I do know a healer who doesn't drag in criminals and use them for body parts. Maybe you two should meet up.

I'm quite interested in meeting other healers, so do introduce us if you wish.

[Not even going to mention the other thing, as it's such obvious bait.]

You'll meet him eventually, if my Mundane can manage to pick up the pace and introduce you two.

[Says the person who almost never worries about the time.]

And I'm not the one keeping people waiting or worrying about deadlines.

*Well, there are a couple things special about him, Lucifel.

Other than, well, picking up on your instruction lightning-fast.

He's just going to ignore that part because what is dealing with a comment like that when he's the only humanoid he can rely on to not leave him? Healthy? No. Effective? For now.*

You do have plenty of lines to study. Your mundane will have an easier time of it than mine did.

[..While this is all true, it's not really part of Lucifel's style to overly compliment people, especially when he's not prompted to. He's not his brother, even though he does like him.]

They should, if they go back and look at it all. Most of my lines in the game were for the audience, after all. They'll just need some time working at it.

[Time that I don't have. Really, if I was going to seriously play you, I'd have to make better icons, look at the game and the other canon materials again, and try to wrap my head around your mindset and snark. I have other things to work on, you know!

..All of this just causes Lucifel to raise an eyebrow.]

They're really fussing about it though.

So I can tell.

*Just like Lucifel, really. He loves his time in the spotlight, and Enoch isn't exactly inclined to try to persuade him out of it. Far be it from him to tell Lucifel not to bother his mundane at all.*

Look at it this way, Lucifel...if your mundane is unable to devote her energies to playing you but tries anyway, it won't simply be her other muses who suffer for it. Your own voice will be lacking, too. You should...for now, that is...settle for less than serious environments.

*He smiles.* Games often impose restrictions, anyway.

*And he doesn't think Lucifel would appreciate having his powers partially or totally sealed by someone who isn't God.*

[OOC: things when they happen. I suppose this is just Lucifel's way of trolling me.]

[While Lucifel would return Enoch's smile, it wasn't with an actual, genuinely happy one, but with his usual sarcastic smirk.]

I wasn't expecting them to join a game with me-not right now, at least. A place like this or a few Meme's should be fine until they gets used to my voice.

[I'm sure you won't be satisfied with that for long though..

And Lucifel just ignores that.]

I don't think they're unable though. Unwilling would be a better way to describe what they're feeling. I'm not sure why though. They have time and art on their hands.

*Enoch never expected anything less.

But he's not sure how to approach this. How to tell Lucifel that if he's not wanted there's nothing he can do without offending him.*

...Ah, well..I suppose you're bound to their whims, regardless. It's the way of mundanes.

Edited (DW WHY DID YOU POST THAT) 2014-08-24 19:53 (UTC)

From what I've heard, that's usually how it works. They seem to be listening to me a little though, so I'll probably be able to jump out sooner than they might think.

[I only listen to you to try and get you off my back.]

You have to at least try to work together, or you won't sound like yourself...

*Seriously Lucifel, he knows you love your freedom but he doesn't want anyone tripping up anyone else here...*

((ooc: here you go!))

[OOC: will really help me out!]

There's no need to worry about that. I've been giving them plenty of time, and while they've been complaining and squandering time, they have been working with me. This Mun can be stubborn sometimes..not as much as you, but I don't think you can say they're not trying if they're putting together icons and looking at Memes for me.

[Was Lucifel casually insulting Enoch there or casually giving him a light compliment? The world may never know.]

I guess they're just surprised that I took the time to speak with them.

{You make that sound like a privilege..]

Edited 2014-08-25 05:11 (UTC)

*Even Enoch isn't quite sure, but he laughs anyway, chuckling softly at what he takes to be friendly teasing and at his wording.*

...I suppose. You are almost always more focused on them as a group, after all.

[OOC: I was trying to say that Lucifel wouldn't be himself if he didn't stand in the spotlight and give people a lot of images to work with..><; ]

Well, it is easier to deal with them as a group with the mediums we're in. It's not like we're trying to give the story out with private emails.

[At least..he wasn't.]

But if I'm going to start being in this medium, it's much easier to just talk to this person rather than everyone at once.

I agree.

*A pause, as he considers the subject of their conversation.*

How do you handle something so confusing on the proper side of the wall?

It's a lot easier than you might think. On the proper side of the wall, I give asides to the audience when I'm sure you or someone else won't interrupt or ask about them and make sure that the audience knows it's for them. It's easier to talk to them all when no one else in the material can hear what I'm saying to them too.

Oh...is that why you felt the need to tell me about my mission again?

*He'd thought he was just trying to remind him of how grave it was...*

That was mostly for the audience, though I'm sure reminding you didn't hurt anything, considering how high the stakes were. It wouldn't have helped if you forgot what you were supposed to do because you were distracted by the scenery.

[Plus, Enoch had his doubts, though Lucifel wasn't going to mention that. God and Michael worried a lot more about them than he did.]

...Distracted by the scenery?

*Does Lucifel really have so little faith in him? He smiles uneasily - he must be joking. He was always the first to assure God he could do what he must, after all...*

If that's all it took to thwart me, Azazel might as well have invited me in.

[While Lucifel still wasn't sure why God liked Enoch so much, even though he was a pretty good, pious guy, he did trust him to complete the mission they were on. It was always a little tough to tell with Lucifel, but right now, he was just teasing. If he was actually being serious with his complaints, the cocky smirk on his face probably would have molded into something a little more harsh.]

He wasn't stupid enough to invite you in, but he did leave the front door open for you, despite some setbacks getting in. You were always looking up and around at anything unfamiliar that caught your eye though. One would have to wonder how you could concentrate on what you were supposed to be doing while glancing about.

*His turn to smirk, showing he's really been around him too long.*

You say that like being attentive is a bad thing.

[Lucifel's smirk, however, grew a little as Enoch spoke. These little bits of banter were always amusing, even though they never lasted long and were, to be honest, quite rare-at least, in the game. There were other things going on, after all, and more urgent issues.]

It's not, but being over-attentive can be. I'm sure you lost a few good chunks of armor by focusing on only one or two opponents at a time, even though you did manage to get past them.

Oh come now, Lucifel.

*He laughs, a genuine laugh. Moments like these are rare, indeed. Teasing still isn't Enoch's usual way to show affection, and it's only grown however more common it has since before they left because of all the time he's spent with Lucifel as the only humanoid company for miles.*

I only have my eyes and ears; there's only so much I could do at once.

And yet, when you saw three people pop out, you kept forgetting that the one with the Gale could attack you from far away. You always dealt with the one that held an Arch or a Veil first just because they were easier to reach. It's hard to imagine that the ones with a Veil could sneak up on you too, but you sometimes tuned them out when you were focusing on the one with an Arch.

If the trouble is really your eyes and ears, maybe you need glasses and a hearing aid.

*Oh, is that how he's playing this time? He's not good at barbs but he's going to try anyway.*

You know I'm smarter than that, Lucifel. You're the one who trained me, after all. Insulting my ability is like insulting your own.

*It didn't take him long to figure out to go after the Gale-users first if he saw them. He'd left that rookie mistake behind after Sariel's level at latest.*

[While that statement didn't wipe the grin off Lucifel's face, it did cause him to arch an eyebrow.]

Not really. I trained you, but you're as stubborn as a mule. You jumped into the Darkness when you shouldn't have. Besides, you managed to find the Tower a lot faster than I thought you would, and you managed to accomplish your goal. I'm just commenting on a few of your faults.

[Was he trying to boost Enoch's ego, his own, or both? Either way, his voice sounded a little..fond, though it still carried its usual, sarcastic quality.]

Edited 2014-08-27 20:24 (UTC)

Have you run out of material to tease me with, Lucifel?

*He smiles a much simpler smile, and moves to sit down on the nearest surface. Teasing others on purpose is pretty exhausting.*

Perhaps you should comment on faults I haven't left behind.

[For Lucifel, sadly, it was one of the many ways he showed affection..and annoyance. It wasn't really tiring for him.]

Of course not. It's just also a fault to complain too much about other people's faults. Wouldn't want to shoot myself in the foot. But, if you really want me to, you're way too soft sometimes.

I can't think of anyone else would apologize to books or feel sorry for enemies that all look the same and don't have any connection to you.

*...He knows Lucifel is just playing with him. But bringing up the martyrs stings.*

...I don't think it's a fault to remember they're only men. To accept that...I may be condemning their souls even as I defend myself.

What, you thought we would just let the Darkness have them?

[Really, part of the reason they were on that mission was to make sure Belial didn't soak up any more souls. At least, that was part of the reason for Lucifel. It was mostly to make sure people could still live in their usual homes and didn't have to switch to crude houseboats or submarines, if Azazel managed to figure those out, but there were a few other reasons.]

Don't you remember Sin? It's not like we would have ignored any other soul we came across. And it's a fault if you're worrying so much about them that you feel bad about defending yourself.

*His relief is visible, at learning their souls were indeed purified by his weapons. But that didn't change the fact that he was still ending lives. If a soul ending up in Heaven was all it took to find peace, the many deaths he encountered wouldn't have hurt nearly so much.

So in spite of his relief, he doesn't seem to be relenting to Lucifel at all.*

...I don't think it is. I didn't let it stop me from defending myself, did I? I'm sorry, Lucifel. Even if you don't like it, I can't lose who and what I am.

[While Lucifel would have liked it if he did, the Angel wasn't really surprised at the fact that Enoch wasn't budging on this point. It would have been even more surprising if he crumbled and lost some of his stubbornness.]

No need to apologize, Enoch. I wasn't expecting you to. The choice on whether or not you work on a fault is your own, even if you were able to defend yourself.

*While to him, it still wasn't a fault at all. If he saw them as less than human, or held no love or pity for them, he would lose himself that day, he was sure of it. It was inhuman, monstrous, to forget that everyone else had a story.

He understands that Lucifel...simply doesn't understand. He'd like him to, but with a proud streak like his? It won't be easy to open his mind to learning.

And that's fine. Lucifel is such a valuable companion to him. And it sounds like, however misguided its foundation, he's trying to say the right thing.

He looks up at Lucifel and smiles a bit. He's glad to have him as a guardian.*

[It really was difficult for Lucifel to wrap his head around why Enoch was suffering because he had to kill other Humans to survive. After all, he was for God, and the souls were all going to Heaven, so they wouldn't become Demon food. If Enoch or Michael tried to explain why he was upset, Lucifel would try to understand..but it would probably take him a little while. Not a thousand years, but still a little while.

However, he would return the smile-though his looked as cocky as ever-before..pulling the conversation back a little.]

At any rate, it's not hard to be on the fourth wall. I'm sure you could do it, if you were ever put up there.

Edited 2014-08-30 01:25 (UTC)

I've certainly had plenty of practice here.

*His original wouldn't, but. Well. He's not going to just ignore the fact that Lucifel's voiced his confidence in his ability to handle a shift in the very way he perceived reality. His smile widens.*

Thank you. Your confidence means a lot to me.

I've noticed. From what I've seen, your Mundane seems to be pretty busy with you.

[Looking up a little, he makes a small comment, seemingly aimed at no one at all.]

I hope you're not too annoyed by all his faults. Keep trying to do your best with him.

[And with that, he focused back on Enoch, still smiling his usual smile.]

You're welcome. If you keep trying to improve, I'll be a lot more sure of your skills.

[And he's teasing again.]

Lucifel can be a little sneaky like that.

This is true..I'm just not sure why he felt the need to sneak up on me. ><;

It's just a thing that happens.

True..I guess it's just annoying to me, since I'm the type that likes an explanation for weird-

Want icons? I've got a whole folder of them.

Sure! That'd be a big help, if you could give them to me.

Sure thing! I only icon from official sources but Lucifel's got plenty to work with

Well, Lucifel wouldn't be Lucifel if he didn't stand in the spotlight and pose. Thanks though! This-

..Wow, Dreamwidth, what the hell did you do to my subject line? ><;

I've only seen it do that once before. It's pretty freaky.

It really is! I can't think of anything that might have caused it either.
