Now, I get what you were going for here, but I must say, it’s just not working for me at all. Where’s the music? The entertainment? The escapism? Most people go to a bar to get away from their problems and the mediocrity of their lives, not to be surrounded by another place as equally drab and boring!

[Lucifer is clearly at the bar, and while it’s likely quite lovely and fine, this is The Devil we’re talking about. He’s not satisfied with much that he doesn’t do himself.]

This won’t do at all! Do you even have anyone hooking up in this bar or does everyone walk back to their rooms sad, alone and feeling sorry for themselves? It’s pathetic, really.

[He suddenly appears as if he’s had a revelation of sorts, though honestly he probably started this knowing exactly where he was taking it.]

Never fear, citizens of Wonderland. I’ll make sure you’re all able to partake in some real debauchery very soon.

Roguish it is!

_{[Devilishly roguish, womp womp.]}

Why did he banish you?

_{[What did you do, Lucifer, throw a house party in the Golden City and curse the world with darkspawn before dad gave you the boot? Because that sort of thing's a definite no-no back in Thedas.]}

[walkingheroin]

He and I didn't exactly see eye-to-eye.

[He evades the question with an air of apathy, as if it's unimportant.

Which is highly unlikely.]

<sub>[Yes, as Lucifer keeps hinting. If he were a spirit with a defining trait, he'd be the spirit of equivocation, no doubt.

Anders is no stranger to dodging questions; in this case, it only serves to increase his curiosity, and he lifts his eyebrows in a clear invitation to continue.]</sub>

I'm a good listener.

_{[Curiosity killed the cat.]}

[walkingheroin]

You can only listen if I actually feel like talking about it.

[Which he doesn't. He barely knows you, man. Sorry.

Also, the player has no idea what happened. <.< It's fine.]

[circlejerked]

That's fair.

<sub>[Anders doesn't take offense at Lucifer's brush-off. You don't make a habit of vigorously pestering people without expecting some snapping and snarling and the occasional rude gesture when you're trodding on sensitive ground.

This? This seems pretty mild for someone calling themselves the Devil, to be quite honest.]</sub>

Nobody likes to count the ways in which their family is dysfunctional when there are more better and more important things to talk about, like future debauchery. But I sense we could get along just fine, you and I.

_{[The latter is said mostly in jest--do fallen angels have friends?--though Anders gets the feeling it's probably a smarter bet to be on Lucifer's good side over his bad.]}

[walkingheroin]

Considering none of that is even remotely an issue while I'm here, I most definitely agree.

[His lips split into a smile.]

Glad to hear it. You'll have to take a gander at my club once I open it.

<sub>[If Lucifer means he doesn't expect his family will make an appearance here, Anders rather hopes he's right. It sounds as though Lucifer's family dinners could get ugly in a cosmic way.

But that's a story he'll have to hear another day. Anders is content to promise he'll show his face at Lucifer's establishment, at the very least.]</sub>

Wouldn't miss it. I'll try anything once.

[walkingheroin]

I have a feeling it will be much more than once.

[He then waggles his fingers at the screen.]

Until then.
