[He doesn't post until well after he's recovered from the grueling entry here. Oh yeah, and that nasty fight he had with Gabriel. What a wonderful day this has been.

Even so, you won't hear a drop of irritation in his tone; he's calm, smooth, warm. Inviting even.]

Hello, citizens. My name is Lucifer.

Don't be alarmed. [He looks a moment longer

[Jinx really needs to learn to think before she speaks. No sense of self preservation, this one.]

You got a little...something on your - all over your - face.

[Darkly. God, he doesn't like taking this tone with Lucifer, but he also doesn't like it when big brother tries to touch what's his.] I tried once, but she said the collar chafed.

[youllsayit]

[They're both on thin ice here.]

And that's why they invented muzzles.

[painhumbles]

Just leave her alone. Okay? Take it up with me. I can't stop her from talking, but I'll damn well keep you from cutting out her tongue for it.

voice;

[youllsayit]

You know you can't stop me, Gabriel.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday]

[She's remained quiet for this long for Gabriel's sake. She can tell when he's freaking out. But she just can't keep her mouth shut for this one.]

Then I will stop you.

voice;

[youllsayit]

You can't.

[Normally when he says that he's almost apologetic. To Jinx? Nothing but stating a fact.]

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday]

You have no idea the power I command, nor my will to fight.

voice;

[youllsayit]

But I do. And you aren't enough.

[He frowns]

And if you cared for my brother you wouldn't be so quick to put him in this position for no reason but your pride.

He's always been so fond of that particular flaw.

voice;

[painhumbles]

[He's practically growling now.] And you'd know, Lucifer. You were always the one I loved best back home.

voice;

[youllsayit]

[Congratulations, Gabriel! On this particular day that is just about the only thing he could've said to get him to back down.

For a few seconds.]

And now?

voice;

[painhumbles]

I still love you, bro. That's only gonna change if you start decorating your new place with her blood. She dies? You cross the line. And I don't want you to cross that line, so don't put me in that position.

voice;

[youllsayit]

[But her blood would look smashing next to the new drapes--]

We need to talk.

[Which means Lucifer is coming to visit and Gabriel has a few seconds to be sure Jinx won't be anywhere near there.]

[ACTION]

[painhumbles]

You know where to find me.

[And here is Gabriel's warehouse, toned down into what looks like a neutral flat, because the last thing he needs is Lucifer gawking at the porn shack. Gabriel looks frazzled, but he's trying to keep his cool... The decanter of whiskey has nothing to do with his nerves.]

[ACTION]

[youllsayit]

[He appears, rustle of wings and thunder and all that, and immediately walks toward Gabriel. He looks out for blood.]

What did you tell her?

[ACTION]

[painhumbles]

[Gabriel puts his feet up and chugs at the decanter. Shot glasses are for mortals.] That I loved you, that you killed me, that before I met her, I didn't have anything worth living for, because my entire family was stepping in it and I had to watch. The usual romcom crap.
