falling  into  a  familiar  pattern,  this  week  becomes  a  row  of  days  where  alastor  grows  only  somewhat  absent  in  the  king's  life.  not  a  jarring  shift  from  the  usual  by  any  means,  unlike  the  last  time  it  happened,  now  taking  the  form  of  sporadic   “  walks  out  ”   and   “  errands  ”   that  ring  through  lucifer's  mind  like  little  alarm  bells.  he  hasn't  done  anything  to  cause  this  distance,  he  thinks,  nothing  he  can  specifically  put  his  finger  on  ━  but  it  is  a  song  and  dance  they  have  done  before,  always  the  prelude  to  something  significant  that  lucifer  is  never  properly  ready  to  face.  starting  small,  creases  that  he  notices  form  in  the  radio  demon's  expression  when  they  are  alone,  a  festering  sense  of  concern,  and  next  thing  he  knows  there  becomes  less  and  less  of  their  presence  alongside  him, even when they are sitting right there.
 from  that  grows  an  anxiety  which  branches  out  into  dozens  of  possibilities  ;  was  it  something  he  did  ?   he  said  ?   or  maybe  alastor  is  just  coincidentally  busy  ?   but  it  is  hardly  ever a  coincidence.  alastor  always  makes  time,   (  frequent  enough  lately  that  he  has  come  to  expect  it,  )   making  the  chances  of  it  being  mere  coincidence  slimmer.  so  maybe  it  has  something  to  do  with  the  holiday  coming  up  ?   it  wouldn't  be  so  strange  if  they  were  just  shopping,  but  why  not  invite  him  along  for  some  of  it  then  ?   is  he  being  avoided  for  some  other  reason  ?   .  .  .   ━  the  usual  thoughts  running  unbidden.  he  would  not  have  so  much  time  to  think  if  alastor  did  not  give  him  the  room,  but  he  supposes  there  is  a  chance  that  he  might  be  worrying  over  nothing  at  all.  it  has  happened  before.
---
unlike  last  time,  he  has  not  allowed  himself  to  fall  into  the  habit  of  doing  nothing  while  he  waits ;  far  too  easy  a  way  to  waste  time  when  something  as  big  as  sinsmas  is  around  the  corner.  the  devil  is  easily  making  himself  useful,  picking  up  the  laborious  job  of  trying  to  deck  the  halls  within  every  inch  of  the  hotel.  and  on  top  of  those  decorations  he  can  layer  additional  touches,  when  he  is  not  working  to  hand-make  the  majority  of  his  gifts.  something  special  for  charlie,  comparatively  mundane  gifts  for  the  other  tenants,  and  for  alastor  ━  well  it's  not  easy  to  outdo  that  radio  sitting  upon  his  nightstand.  there  was  an  attempt  made  with  the  phone  lucifer  had  ordered,  but  it  is  not  nearly  the  same  as  the  intricate  work  and  personal  connection  that  went  into  the  present  lucifer  had  received.  he  can  do  better.  knows  he  can. that  is  what  he  tells  himself,  an  ample  enough  distraction  to  pour  his  passion  into.
the devil sits in his room, contemplating. what  alastor  likes  he  begins  to  run  down  the  mental  checklist  of :  radios  are.  .  .  obvious.  too  on  the  nose,  they  have  so  many  already,  and  lucifer  does  not  have  nearly  enough  expertise  to  make  one  from scratch.  maybe  he  should  make  one  of  those  funky  little  furry  creatures  instead  ━  what  the  hell  are  they  called  ?   fur.  .  .  babies  ?   fur.  .  .  he  can't  seem  to  remember.  .  .  no,  that  is  an  idea  to  save  for  a  rainy  day,  this  has  to  be  something  special !  a  piano  ?   .  .  .  there's  no  way  he  can  learn  how  to  make  a  grand  piano  in  three  days.   (  hopeless  ! doomed !  )   the  devil  stops  to  rub  at  his  temples,  and  sink  into  the  comfort  of  his  memory  foam  mattress  with  a  groan.  there  is  one  thing  that  comes  to  mind,  something  especially  reserved  for  those  lucifer  holds  dear,  though  it  is  typically  saved  for  family.  all  things  considered though,  alastor  may  as  well  be.   (  they  are  both  fathers  to  charlie,  as  he  recalls  confirming,  among  other.  .  .  considerations.  )   an  incomplete  blueprint  piecing  together,  invisible  against  the  stripey  dome  of  his  ceiling.  there  is  no  need  to  call  for  the  piece  of  him  that  is  missing,  it  knows,  its  golden  flare  whipping  down  the  hall  and  wiggling  beneath  the  crack  under  his  door.  this  particular  creation  was  not  meant  to  last  so  long,  a  temporary  distraction  to  soothe  alastor's  shadowy  counterpart,  but  seeing  the  joy  it  brought  made  him  think  twice  ;  ever  the  hopeless  romantic. he  beckons,  and  it  obeys.
❝    find  me  a  living  specimen.    ❞
ominous,  perhaps,  if  one  does  not  understand.  blackened  fingertips  snap,  breathing  life  into  the  existence  of  a  sparkling  ring  that  hangs  and  expands  within  the  air.  the  force  of  its  continuous  spin  throws  near-identical  glitter,  feather-light  falling  stars,  next  to  the  animate  gold  of  his  mirror  image.  within  the  spinning  circle  is  a  familiar  place  ;  the  louisiana  marshes,  an  area  he  knows  the  man  he's  shopping  for  is  intimately  familiar  with.  there  is  no  better  place  to  pry  an  example  from. through  the  portal  his  doppelganger  goes,  and  with  it  lucifer's  will.  finding  the  proper  materials  will  keep  him  engaged  in  the  meantime.
---
days  pass,  and  eventually  lucifer's  patience  is  rewarded.  a  note,  lain  at  the  radio  demon's  tower  door,  where  the  devil  was  intending  to  spend  his  time  invading  their  own.  is  he  that  predictable  now  ? not  that  he  is  one  to  complain  when  given  an  opportunity.  a  time  and  a  place,  giving  him  a  specific  window  of  what  he  can  do  before  now  and  then  ;  his  interpretation  is  that  it  must  be  some  sort  of   “  informal  date,  ”   the  kind  that  just  barely  classifies  as  what  it  is,  the  kind  they  seem  to  prefer  though  neither  lucifer  nor  alastor  ever  acknowledge  putting  a  label  to  it  aloud.  maybe  it  isn't  so  definable. but  he  will  treat  it  like  any  other,  and  for  the  occasion  he  will  dress.
then,  a  more  devious  thought.  a  remedy  for  his  lack  of  attention,  perhaps,  if  he  can  find  something  to  appeal  to  alastor's  interests.  what  those  would  be,  outside  of  his  more  revealing  garments  ━  it's  a  good  thing  he  has  the  time  to  try  and  piece  something  together.  all  the  extravagance  of  an  outfit  one  would  think  royalty  might  don  in  private  ;  lace  and  mesh  hold  together  the  open  heart-shape  back  of  his  shirt,  allowing  the  slits  trailing  down  his  porcelain  skin  to  breathe.  what  the  lace  does  not  cover  over  his  chest  is  somewhat  sheltered  by  the  decorative  shrug  overtop,  and  tucked  by  the  hem  beneath  the  vibrancy  of  his  suit  pants.  bright  whites  blending  with  the  pale  tones  of  neutrals,  there  to  emphasize  the  striking  red  layer  within  wings  that  stretch  out  in  feathery  masses.  maybe  he'll  leave  his  crown  this  time.  .  .  since  the  hat  is  apparently  so  ridiculous.  good  enough,  he  figures,  and  checks  the  time  ━  late.  it  is  already  a  minute  or  two  past,  and  so  lucifer  fumbles  all-too  clumsily  out  of  his  room,  entering  the  hallway  with  a  light  jog.  he  then  spots  the  shared  balcony,  a  perfect  shortcut  to  head  out  onto  and  allow  himself  to  use  these  wings  for  more  than  a  fashion  statement.  all  six  flap  with  some  sense  of  urgency  in  their  takeoff,  though  approaching  the  roof   (  which  is  hardly  that  far  above  )   he  allows  himself  to  ease  into  a  more  graceful  ascent.  the  heels  of  his  knee-high  boots  tap  against  solid  ground  with  his  announcement,
❝    you've  picked  quite  the  spot  !    ❞
how  late  ━  two  minutes  ?   maybe  three  ?   not  bad.  not  enough  for  a  scolding,  surely. both  arms  tuck  to  fold  comfortably  behind  his  back,  brushing  beneath  the  soft  plush  of  feathers  and  resting  over  the  lowest  set  of  wings. 
❝    not  plotting  to  throw  me  off  the  roof,  are  you  ?    ❞

It takes all of his gumption to finally prepare for the act. He looks at himself in the mirror, the curls of his hair steadily put into place as he recalls the note he left Lucifer outside of his tower not two hours before: to meet him up on the hotel roof at a specific time in the evening - where he will be.
The small box - fashioned in red velvet with a golden interior - is opened to briefly check that the ring remains nestled within. He admits the jeweler's craft is well done - and he had rewarded the man after the fact. Satisfied with its make and its gleam in the light, Alastor returns the box into the inner pocket of his coat before leaving his room.
His nerves have been threatening to rattle him all day. But he will not turn back now, venturing up the stairwells until he steps out onto the roof in the cool, night air.
Alastor takes in a breath and releases it as he approaches the edge, glancing out and down the hilltop where the hotel sits to view the remainder of the city, its towering buildings filling the horizon with light and distant sound.
Now all he has to cling to is patience, praying that it is only Lucifer that finds him up here and no one else as he steels his hands to keep the anxiety from making them tremor.
This will change everything.

[ PART TWO. ]
Tumblr media
Make. Material. Color. Stones? Shape? There are so many factor to consider when thinking about the construction of a ring - and one that is meant to be suitable enough for the Devil, at that. This cannot be some garden variety band. It cannot be haphazard and materialistic. It has to be intentional. Special. Sincere. And that means there are immeasurable pitfalls he can run into, lost amid the calculations in his mind as he stares with rigid focus down at the glass case before him without even really seeing what is within them. Everything for sale here seems so... paltry, so surface-level. These are decorations meant for Sinners.
Lucifer is no Sinner.
He has surpassed only one step in the process - and that was to obtain Lucifer's ring finger size: a true feat of accomplishment in and of itself. He could not ask Charlie, for fear of her finding out before it was time to reveal anything. He certainly did not trust anyone else within the hotel to keep their mouths shut and to spare him the rigmarole of congratulations and gleeful exclamations that undoubtedly would follow. Either that or shock and surprise that they have been cavorting about in secret all this time after all. He cannot handle that - not with his nerves already striking him at every moment of the day. And so the task fell to the only one he did trust with it:
Niffty.
She had been just erratic and wild enough to flit about one day in her curiously manic way to take Lucifer's hand and investigate it, coming up with some excuse or other as to what she could or could not add to her 'collection'. Lucifer's awkward, but polite demeanor made it a simple thing for her to remain until she could glean the appropriate sizing - good at eyeballing those things - and with giggling glee, she left him be as soon as she had whirled into his proximity. Alastor had kept an eye on the exchange from the shadows, pleased and rather impressed as to her acting skills - until she seemed to express interest in 'keeping his Majesty's severed finger' if that was what Alastor intended to do.
Not quite - but he gave her a pat on the head and sent her on her way for her efforts, regardless.
But now he struggled with the actual making of the thing. His first thought had been to seek out Rosie's advice - but how is he to expect himself to properly replace the role of a woman in Lucifer's life if he cannot even make these decisions without the influence of one? Stubbornly, he refused, and that is why he lingers in this jewelry shop, looking on in frustration and finding nothing of note that he believes to be worthy of Lucifer's hand.
Eventually, he realizes, with the shopkeeper rattled in his boots and waiting for him to patiently decide, that none of these shoddy pieces are worthy. He holds back a growl and turns his attention upwards; sharp in his addressing of the man behind the counter.
"Don't you have anything better than this?" He demands, ears pinning themselves back and against his hair as his antlers sharpen slightly in response to his agitation.
' W-well, we do custom-makes... but... but it takes some time. And with Sinsmas coming up, it's... likely going to take longer than... '
"I don't care," Alastor replies harshly, a buzz of interference emanating from him which clearly speaks to his displeasure at being told that he cannot have what he wants first and foremost. He is the radio demon. And he is a priority. (Entitled behavior, he knows, but he and Vox had always been similarly demanding in that way.) "If I bring you adequate materials for the construction and give you the sizing, are you able to fashion something from it in time for the day itself? Answer carefully, or you may not see the damned day at all."
'I-'
Alastor's gaze narrows threateningly, his shadow creeping up in imposing stature from behind him as the shop's lights flicker and darken with his impending anger.
' Y-Yes! I can! I can absolutely do that!' The shopkeep says in desperation. ' Please don't take my Soul... There's no need for that, I promise! '
"Good. Then I will be back in a day or two with the items. And you will make this the only thing you will work on until completion. Do you understand?"
The man nods and Alastor spares him one final look before turning on his heel and leaving.
-----
Gold. There is nothing else that can suit Lucifer and Lilith knew it when she exchanged that ring with him. Fine. Fine as a base. But that is not all it can be. There needs to be more. He is more than just the shine of some hardened, shining stone. Lucifer is... passion. He is beauty. He is the burning, fervid flame that remains as kindling for the very fabric of their existence. Though threatened to extinguish; near defeated by heartbreak and strife... That flame remains.
Lucifer is Hell.
"...Brimstone."
He says it aloud to himself as he sits upright in bed on the second night of contemplation. But it can't just be any brimstone. It must be special and significant. A piece - a fragment of the stone that keeps them rooted within the pentagram; a part of the crater that leaps up in vicious, jagged peaks that overlooks the entirety of the city. But how can he get there...? It will be too obvious if he leaves the city. Lilith will know.
It takes a woven web of contacts of hellborn to see the deed done. Promises of recognition and privilege that Alastor can deliver on in spades. A few imps boosted in status for their intrepid act on his behalf, venturing well beyond the boundary of civilization to collect what he wants, and bring it back. Three set out. Two return, the third having fallen victim to Sinners on the edges of the city. But he will keep his promise. The two remaining imps will be lavished with whatever they please, so long as they remain in contact with them. And in his possession, he has collected fragments of the burning red stone that singes when touched - sharp and dark and entirely reflecting of their home.
Alastor clasps the box of the stone shut and keeps it close to him.
One ingredient remains.
-----
The final part is something he has known that he wants to infuse within the band from the start. It is why on the third day, he is on his knees in the middle of his room, his shadow looming behind him as he fixes his gaze downwards. Shirtless, the litany of his scaring is exposed - including the Pentagram upon his spine. The eldritch fire burns in the fireplace; the conduit of his power which keeps much of the hotel functioning and safe. It bathes him in a green light as his shadow creeps closer, eyeing the Pentagram with a serious gaze.
"I need you to do this for me," he murmurs. "I can't do it myself."
Beneath his tail rests a small pan; meant to collect what will seep from his wound before the evening is complete.
The shadow hesitates, but it knows that it will do what it is commanded to, peeling from the walls to form a physical being, though still shimmering and swaying with the flicker of the nearby fire. Its claws elongate, reaching to press the tips against the sensitive flesh, pulling a hiss from its master where it pauses for confirmation that it may continue.
"...It's fine. It'll hurt. But I need it to."
The shadow understands.
With rigid claws, it scores lines into his flesh, pulling from Alastor a harsh gasp and near cry of pain that he quells only by biting down on his own tongue. Surface wounds. All surface wounds. The purpose is to harvest from him the blood. The blood from the Pentagram. He knows doing so will not change his lot - but to know that Lucifer will harbor some of his essence within that ring...
To him, it feels like an act of reclamation. From the oppressive wrenching of chains which he longs to escape.
It is a submission. To his one and only.
To the king.
To his star.
The pan fills with the deep, near black ichor as the scoring continues. Tears well in Alastor's eyes and trail down from them as he carries on in his silent, pained revelry. And in the end, when the pan is full and the shadow pulls its claws back, it still remains whole enough to see that Alastor is mended. A bath. Bandages. Stitches. But the pain will linger.
It is a good pain, he decides, when he is cognizant enough to pair his two important pieces of the puzzle together, bringing them to the jeweler the next day - the stone in its casing; the blood in a dark vial - with some relative stiffness in his stride. This, along with instructions for an engraving, are placed upon the counter.
"You have until tomorrow. Imbue them in a gold band. All three in equal measure."
The shopkeeper can only nod. He knows what is at risk if he does not deliver.
Alastor departs the store, anxiety beginning to surge its way through his bloodstream.
Tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night he will know if it is enough.

@ducktastic-dad ⧐ 🎁 ( idc if it's The Thing or not hes GREEDY. ) CHRISTMAS GIFT ASKS.
[ PART ONE. ]
Tumblr media
What does it mean to love?
In his discovery of the sanctuary of Lucifer's smile; in the warmth and comfort of his embrace and touch, the Devil has all but fully ensnared him with every fiber of his being. Through the passing days, Alastor understands that what he is feeling is new and novel. Undiscovered and uncharted territory in the jagged cage of his bones which support the heavy weight of the heart within. A heart which burns with sudden ferocity at the realization that it yearns, even when Lucifer is nearest to him. Even when their mouths are meeting and their hands are coasting against neglected parts of themselves. Even throughout each of those hidden moments, stolen away from prying eyes, he can sense that there still lingers something.
And it breeds resentment.
The small glint of a reminder every time he glances down at Lucifer's finger is nothing short of a mockery at Alastor's expense. Its pristine, unremarkable surface which contrasts Lucifer's blackened, blessed skin has only ever made his jaw set with unease. It is like she is looking at him even still - watching him. Judging him. Continuously stepping in between them. That lingering and evil memory which he only wants to take within his grasp and snap in half.
Lilith already has him - Alastor will not permit her to have Lucifer too. Not when he has worked so hard to entangle himself within the Devil's circle. Not when he has been fed the sweetest of nectars - not just his blood but his attention, his time, his gaze. All culminating into a singular being that Alastor wants above all else. With a deep, guttural churn of nothing less than pure, unadulterated ferocity, he knows:
The Morning Star is his and his alone.
But the ring laughs at him with its gleaming, golden glamor. Each time they are in bed. Each time that hand caresses his face. Each time he loses the entirety of himself in Lucifer's body and mind, it is still there to reel him back.
He needs it gone.
As the holidays near, Alastor invests himself in ways and methods to try and get Lucifer to get rid of it, but even after days of consideration and wondering, he cannot imagine any sort of situation where it may be removed willingly and without significant strife. He knows that Lucifer's torch for his wife is still... lit. The thought makes him sick. Or... does it make him sad? Maybe a combination of both. Some sad part of the Devil clinging to what was and whether or not it can be restored.
No, it cannot. But that does not stop the hopeful dreamer, he is certain, from grasping helplessly at the hem of a dress that will not spare him the affection; the attention; the love that he craves. All things that Alastor knows he can provide if-
If he can figure out how.
"...How can I ask that of him," he muses to himself on one night within the bayou, his shadow watching him carefully, splayed against the bark of a nearby willow. "To just abandon what he's been holding on to for as long as he has? How can I be that foolish to believe that he would? For what? For me?"
The shadow seems to slump. It does not know a solution either. It gestures in attempts to create suggestions, forming a silhouette of a bouquet which Alastor scoffs at.
"Flowers will not be adequate."
Another silhouette.
"No, neither will treats."
He has already put blood and sweat into the radio gift he'd created. How can he even manage to top that? Make him another? No, that would be pointless. A man has no use for two radios. At least not a man that is not him, anyway.
The shadow stills for a few moments before, steadily, gesturing once more. This time, in its claws, it forms the shape of a circle - a ring - watching Alastor's reaction closely. What it receives is perplexed confusion and frustration in turn.
"No, you idiot, I'm trying to make him get rid of the blasted thing," he says in a snap, though the shadow has seemingly had enough of his attitude, manifesting physicality long enough to lean and bonk one of its larger antlers against his own, to which Alastor swears, reaching up to rub at his set while making a sour attempt to understand -
And realizing all at once.
"...Give him another one?"
The shadow nods. And Alastor immediately flusters, angry.
"What good will that do?! The moron will think I'm proposing if I do something so absurd! I could not be that dense as to think that he'd -"
He stops, glancing from his shadow back out to the remainder of the bayou, effectively silenced by the idea which has already snagged thorny barbs into his mind and hooked itself there. Perhaps it does not have to be a true proposal, in such a way that one might do so to... arrange a marriage. That is a thing meant for people looking to live a normal existence. And Alastor is not normal. He never will be. But that does not mean he can't play at it in some way.
Not a wedding ring, but -
Something to... illustrate some sort of... commitment. But how to differentiate?
The fact of the matter is, he can foresee Lucifer accepting what is being given to him. Perhaps a bit awkwardly; perhaps uncertain as to how to react. But will it be enough to usurp Lilith's place on his hand? That is what he is uncertain about. And that is all the he truly cares about. Nothing else matters except to blatantly label the Devil as belonging to him and him alone. Not some damnable, olden memory that no longer deserves to hold space in his mind. Not when it is Alastor who is caring for the hotel. Alastor who is looking out for his daughter as promised. Alastor who has been there for him on those nights when his sadness creeps and wedges itself between his tired, worn feathers. Alastor who has done things for him time and time again - first selfishly, and then for Lucifer's benefit alone.
It's me, he tells himself, stubbornly.
Not her. Me.
Along his spine, the Pentagram burns with his near rejection of his master. But he knows who holds the cards. Still - that does not keep him from beginning to formulate thoughts on how to convince Lucifer to abandon her. How can he hold a candle...? It has to come from somewhere deep within - somewhere honest and sincere.
Vulnerable.
All words he detests. Lucifer can cut him to the core. Can so easily take the blade, shove it through his sternum, and twist.
The audacity you have, Alastor can imagine him saying. But would he say that...? The frightening part is the unknown. The willingness to place his heart in the hands of Hell's singular ruler and king - and hope that it is not squashed within the Devil's hands like nothing more than the brief and fleeting life of a mosquito. Never meant to last or to linger. Just quick. Temporary. Necessary.
And then snuffed out when the reminder of much brighter blossoms come again in the spring.
The frustration and introspection - vicious and unrelenting - has made his nose bleed, he realizes after a few moments. Reaching up, he callously wipes the few droplets away, flicking them in a splatter across a nearby fern.
"...I will not know unless I do it," he murmurs as the shadow continues to observe.
"And I will not give her the power over me to sit here and do nothing."
He has to try, he knows. Or else it will continue to remain. Until the resentment eats him away at the inside and he begins to form the rift between them himself.
Like with Vox.
The name brings a pang of remembrance and he shakes his head to rid himself of it, reaching up to grip at his scalp with intent to pull his hair, but instead feeling the catharsis of seeing the still steady drip-drip of the blood from his nose instead decorate the grass beneath his feet.
How foolish, he thinks. To be ripping himself to practical pieces over what will be. He is no coward. Or he refuses to permit himself to become one.
Nose still bleeding, Alastor glances up at his shadow who stares at him in turn.
"...Okay. I'll do it."
It seems to gaze through him as though looking for sincerity or resolve before nodding. And now that the idea has taken root and begins to spread its invasive, predatory vines...
Well.
Now he just has to figure out how.

Gingerbread Cookie Decorating Contest Results
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The results are in, folks," Vox's voice announced. The TV screens flickered and suddenly displayed ever contestant's name and a score next to it.
"The winner of our Gingerbread Cookie Contest is Valentino (@hazbinned) with his fabulous self portrait cookie! Come find me in the lobby so that I can present you with your prize!"
Tumblr media
Vox's Scores:
@hazbinned - 8: "The cookie perfectly resembles its owner."
@the-divine-comedian - 6: "Is this a Grinch reference? I vibe, but it should have been more Grinchy."
@rradiioice - 3: "It looks so sad. It's making me depressed."
Alastor's Scores:
@hazbinned - 7: "Incredible likeness. But makes me want to bite it. A lot. Right at the place where its head meets its body."
@the-divine-comedian - 4: "What's this language? I don't get it. (He has never seen the Grinch.)"
@rradiioice - 9: "Looks enough like me to want to rate it high. Minus one point for not being red."
Lucifer's Scores:
@hazbinned - 5: "Nicely decorated, but I fucking hate this guy."
@the-divine-comedian - 9: "Very inventive! a lot of icing, I like that."
@rradiioice - 7: "A cute cookie, I like its monocle! I can see the resemblance."
Totals:
@hazbinned - 20
@the-divine-comedian - 19
@rradiioice - 19

❝    oh  ━  right,  aha,  yes  ━  well  you  know,  if  you  need  anything  at  all,  i'll  be  around.  can  never  keep  too  close  an  eye  on  these  sinners,    ❞
always  so  prone  to  making  trouble,  he  thinks  ;  despite  the  fact  he  is  willingly  surrounding  himself  with  them,   (  his precious  daughter  is  a  different  matter  entirely.  ) but  he  is  aware  his  opinions  are  still  a  bit of a  touchy topic  between  them,  so  he  continues  on  with  a  change  in  subject.
❝    so  uh,  speaking  of,  did  you  try  anything  at  the  buffet  table  on  your  way  in  ?   i  saw  a  few  of  the  guests  bring  in  cookies.  looked  pretty  good  !    ❞

Charlie chuckled abit nervously as the one before her was tossed aside, giving a smile she approached her father, apgozligin to the poor sinner who got tossed aside. ' It was actually Vaggie's idea! I wanted to just wear jeans and whatnot, but she convinced me to wear this.' She said bashfully pushing her hair behind her ear as she stood near her father. ' I haven't really started attending yes I am here, but nothing has happened yet.'

something-something,  hotel  activities,  something  ━  yeah,  he  wasn't  really  listening  to  vaggie  all  that  well  at  the  time  ;  what  he  does  catch  is  that  he  is  being  sent  on  a  mission  of  diplomacy,  as  lucifer  has  begrudgingly  accepted,  to  go  fetch  the  hotelier.  but  now  he  is  here,  and  alastor  has  opened  his  big  fat  mouth,  static-laden  tones  of  passive-aggressiveness  quick  to  prod  his  patience.  something  he  does  not  have  much  of.
❝    oh  well,  i  was  just  in  the  neighborhood,  thought  i'd  stop  by  ━  see  if  you  need  any  help  packing  your  bags.  since  you're  no  longer  needed,  and  all.    ❞

" Well, isn't THIS grand! An unexpected visit from HIS MAJESTY himself, to my private quarters, no less... and to WHAT do I owe the questionable pleasure? "

lo  and  behold,  the  infamous  royal  shut-in  isn't  participating  in  the  more  socially  draining  activities  ━  one  too  many  pictures  and  already  beginning  to  wear  thin.  there  isn't  much  point  anyhow,  when  the  real  competition  isn't  there.  instead  he  retreats  to  the  side  of  his  fellow  co-host,  their  music  acting  somewhat  as  a  lure  as  he  is  drawn  towards.  a  bit  less  draining.  lucifer  raises  the  silvery  branch  in  his  hand  briefly,  to  scratch  at  his  chin in idle thought.
❝    hm. . . chopin  ━  do  you  know  raindrop  ?   shudders,  every.  single.  time.  can't  say  it's  much  of  a  partying  piece,  though. or sinsmas-y.    ❞
in  no  world  can  he  imagine  someone  with  the  classical  taste  of  alastor  wouldn't  know  of  chopin,  but  such  a  specific  piece  might  be  another  matter.  he  will  continue  to  enjoy  the  piano  melodies  regardless.
❝    what's  that  you're  playing  now  ?    ❞

[ vox's christmas jamboree ] - open starter #2
The press of piano keys is gentle - though loud enough to be heard over the din of party-goers. While he is not participating in the apparent karaoke contest (which he would win, even if he was), he is happy to provide some light accompaniment for the evening, humming along to the melody which his claws deftly trace from measure to measure.
They do not falter as he spies the other approaching, carrying through the remainder of the song as he greets them.
"Any requests?" He asks in a warm tone. Alastor is, momentarily, in his element. Even amongst the throngs of other citizens of Hell which he would rather consume than party with.
But he is here to be good at Vox's behest.
