  1. From InBrightestDay on November 14, 2023 Ok, missed a few days, but this will probably be the chapter after which I pause to work on my holiday story. Anyway, this is listed as Chapter 4, but I think it was actually the third holiday story, so I'm doing it now. Tricked I'd kind of forgotten what your version of Lucifer is like. There's archvillain Lucifer, roguish charismatic Lucifer...and then there's, like, used car salesman Lucifer. This one isn't quite used car salesman Lucifer...but considering the bit where he eats his son and doesn't notice until Mic points it out, he's not far off. Car Salesman playing checkers in a world of 3rd chess. One thing I didn't notice the first time around, or maybe it was added later, was the focus on the HD cameras at the casino. I'd assumed in Death Always Wins that either the gods would have accounted for that or that, similar to vampires, they wouldn't show up on camera. Maybe you can only record magic at 1080p. The conflux of halloween made it inevitable that eventually it would be too big to cover up, this was buried but this was a PR nightmare on steroids. Just imagine it leaking to social media or youtube. This story does begin introducing lore about the world (regarding suggestions of untamed regions of the underworld and such), though none of it pays off yet. There is also a hint of a bigger story arc, which I'm going to keep an eye on to see if it comes back. Also I'd forgotten this but Logan is a kinky dude! It was pretty funny when he got all enthusiastic and mentioned see-through pants he was going to have Duncan wear. Yes, the ancient god will cross the United States in dignified fashion… If it makes his hubby happy that all that matters at least as far as it concerns Duncan, Clothing can be considered optional for the divine. Good luck trying to impose societal standards on literal gods at most you’ll be mocked with derision best case. Worst case smitten for the sheer hubris. The ones who bother with humanity regularly understand it.
