Faye, in Hell.

[7twistedwishes]

[[ From here. ]]



On the other side of the door...

Hell...

No, no fire and brimstone. A large room, half living room, half office, tastefully decorated and furnished. Thick carpet, a big couch, several recliners, an old-style desk, bookshelves, filing cabinets... and a computer too.

Classical music plays in the background and the delicate scent of incense hangs in the air.

"Welcome dear, welcome to my house. Enter freely and of your own free will! Go safely when you must, and leave something of the happiness you bring!"

The Devil steps aside to let Faye enter.

And she slumps down again, defeated. "No... It is too cold and too quiet here, alone."

"Too cold."

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

"Sadly, I'm starting to get too cold to stay. But--I'll come back." She looks at the wretched creature before her with deep pity in her eyes.

[7twistedwishes]

She nods. I will show you the way out. but you have to get back to the tunnel. I can not make avatars here." The Devil can not even talk to herself.

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

She nods. "Thank you." She stands, and looks at the Devil's true form once more before making her way to the tunnel and out to the avatar.

[7twistedwishes]

She is there, waiting, offering a hand to Faye. "I hope I was not too hard on you."

That is as close to an apology that she can go.

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

"It... will take time to get over." She takes the hand and nods. "But I'm glad you showed me."

[7twistedwishes]

"You will be too upset if I kiss you again?" Oh, she is just kidding. Or not.

But anyway, it helps her hold to the edges of sanity.

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

"Not this time, no. I don't think so." She offers a hesitant, awkward smile.

[7twistedwishes]

"But you are not interested in women. And I promised nothing would happen against your will." She can hold to that and use that to have restraint.

"Lets go back to my office, I really need a drink." Atlantean, of course.

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

"Appreciated," she says, nodding.

And then her eyes light up. "A drink sounds great right now."

[7twistedwishes]

No fancy flights, she wraps light around them and the two appear in the office. "I could, of course, offer to shapechange into something you would appreciate, but right now, it would be all kinds of weird." She gestures to the couch "What you would like to drink? And who is he?"

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

She plops on the couch unceremoniously and orders a Tom Collins. Har har, pun intended.

"He? Oh. My best friend. My roommate. The one I'm in love with. The one I'm fucking is his girlfriend's brother."

[7twistedwishes]

"He does it good?" The Devil comes over with the drinks. Hmm, big comfortable couch, nice warm room... Lucifer indulges as much as possible, takes some of the serrated edge of her punishment.

"Very good, with sprinkles?"

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

"Sven? He's very talented in the bedroom, yes." She smirks.

[7twistedwishes]

"Good: teaching them how to do it gets tiresome after a while." Stretching out, she drinks. "Oh, well..."

She is tired; drained even.

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

She looks over at Lucifer.

"So--what do you prefer to go by? Lucifer? Luci?"

[7twistedwishes]

She grins, the business suit dissolving into a slinky red dress.

The devil is absolutely gorgeous!

"Ah, yes..." She offers another card, this one reads 'Scarlet D'auville - Financial Investments Advisor'.

"Call me Scarlet."

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

She nods, taking the card. "Pleasure, Scarlet."

She sighs slowly, rubbing her eyes. Scarlet's not the only one who's drained; Faye is wiped out.

[7twistedwishes]

"Hmm... perhaps it is time to go back?" Even celestial beings need rest.

Even if she can not really sleep.

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

"Please," she says. "This has been an interesting journey, but I think I need to sleep, now."

...or at least try. She's certain that she'll have nightmares from this for weeks.

[7twistedwishes]

Finished with the drink she nods, getting up. A hand is offered to Faye. "Thank you for coming."

The Devil will guide the woman back to Milliways, since they both need the rest.

[burbonmilkshake.livejournal.com]

Faye nods, takes Scarlet's hand, and follows her back to the bar. Then, she heads upstairs to change and crawl into bed. She won't sleep, but she will have a lot to think about.
