"...Okay, so Jellybean just texted me about the Apocalypse? I thought we were holding off on that unt-uuuuh nevermind. Hm. Apparently, Lulu's only got two of the Horsemen down. I should probably call Famine, ask him what's up with that..."

[queenbeeibee]

"You're a friend of Keenie's? That's awesome - it's so nice to meet you!"

The Sin of Gluttony knelt down as she offered a hand, ostensibly so she could reach the little Cherub easier - and so she wouldn't tower quite so much over them. "You probably already know my name, but just in case - I'm Beelzebub. Call me Bee, all my friends do. And thanks for the welcome, but I'm not staying long. Just having drinks with an old friend. Won't lie, though, it's nice to be back, even if it is only for a little while..."

Oh Stars! The Sin, The Queen of Gluttony just spoke to him! She was so tall! Compared to her he was tiny!

Warbie craned his head back and nearly fell backwards before he caught himself.

"W-welcome to-er back?? Back. Welcome back to Heaven?"

His feathers are standing on end giving him a very rounded look.

"I've heard great things about y-you! From Miss. Keenie!"

He chipped.

"Are you still in Heaven?"

"'Fraid so. I just passed the Gates, actually."

Bee's voice kept its cheerful tone, but there was a weight to each word now. "I'm sorry, Keenie. I know this shit isn't fair. And I probably should've thought it through more before just accepting Adam's invite." She'd just been so excited - while she'd snuck into Heaven plenty of times before, usually to bother Gabriel in his office, she hadn't been invited to cross the Gates in... who knows how long. And the thought of drinking with Adam, of getting to shoot the shit with someone who at least got some of her interests, had sweetened the deal more than enough to be tempting. "I didn't think about how it would be when you found out. And I am so, so sorry."

She had just...forgotten, that was all. In the heat of the moment, the fact that Keenie could never cross Heaven's Gates again (just like them; without an invitation, they could never come home again) had slipped Beelzebub's mind like flour through a sieve. But that was no excuse. And while she couldn't change the past, Bee was hoping she could maybe do something for the future. "I'm hoping that this invite might mean Adam will listen to me, though. He hasn't sent an invitation to any of us, ever, so maybe...maybe I can talk to him. About the whole situation. It's a long shot, for damn sure, but maybe he can change the head Cherub's mind. Get your ruling overturned." She wasn't too hopeful that this would be the case, but she would damn well try to talk to the First Man about her friend. "If you're okay with that, I mean. I want to make sure you're on board with this before I go about trying to ask Adam for favors."

What do you plan to ask adam about keenie

"...I know he won't reinstate her as a cherub - Adam may like me, but I know that liking has limits, and a favor like that would be pressing those boundaries. Besides, I'm the one there at his request, and I don't want to push him too far. So, I'm going to ask if he'll just look over the situation. Judge it, if you want a better word. Keenie probably won't be welcomed back, but maybe I could work her a situation like this one, where she could be invited to Heaven instead of being forever barred. At least then the option to visit her home is open to her again, y'know?"

[queenbeeibee]

"OH HEY! You made it! Pick up a seat! Make yourself at home, babe!"

Bee stepped through the door, her ears twitching at the sound of Adam's voice. She smiled and called back, "Of course I made it - I never skip an invite I've accepted!" Even when said invitation meant a jaunt to cross the Pearly Gates. "Sorry it took me a minute to get here - I saw Peter and had to stop to get welcomed properly."

And that had been a blast - seeing Peter's surprised face had definitely put Bee into a much more jovial mood, and his reaction to her outfit had been some combination of embarrassment and much scolding. (She would admit, it had been adorable, and at his request she had, in fact, kept the sweater on.) "You sure I'm good to sit anywhere? Don't want to mess your place up."

[queenbeeibee]

A private lake? A personal statue? Well, well. Heaven had certainly changed. Bee looked around the villa, taking in the extravagance, the luxury. No expenses spared. "Fuck, my own Hive doesn't even have a personal lake. How'd you manage to swing that one by the High Council?"

She finally settled on sitting down in a large chair, not quite a throne but something close. Dark claws traced carefully over the polish and Beelzebub grinned brightly at the First Man. "They would've never let this swing ten thousand years ago, y'know."

" HA! Nah go ahead and mess it up I'm not the one who cleans it! HAHAHAHA! Do whatever, sit wherever."

To think he was actually able to pull off a sin being in Heaven. Adam knew he was high up in the pecking order but this was just funny. Still he wouldn't complain, it was time to see if he could make something from this strange little friendship.

" We don't have to just sit around here all day either, we can take the boat out on my lake and all that shit, marvel at my statue, whatever, there is plenty here to do."

"...I forgot how beautiful the view is here."

The words came out far quieter than Beelzebub had meant them to, but perhaps that was for the best. She was, after all, technically a trespasser, even with an invitation in hand. Heaven hadn't opened its Gates officially to the Sin of Gluttony in eons, and she didn't want to draw too much attention to herself. One Fall had been more than enough, thank you VERY much. "I hope Peter's at the Gates. Maybe he'll do the welcome song for me..."

With a sprig of hope she wasn't entirely sure she'd get to keep blooming in her chest, Bee stepped through the clouds and headed up, up, up towards the shimmering Gates. And then, hopefully, she could make her way to Adam's Villa without incident.

Meanwhile, in the Gluttony Ring of Hell, inside of Beelzebub's Hive, an elderly Wolfhound and a very small Fox Demon were making several important phone calls. While each call was done very differently, the gist of them was each the same - Beelzebub has gone to Heaven, at Adam's invitation. She has left us in charge, so please direct all questions and concerns to us. We will relay them to her in a timely manner. Thank you.

🌸🐝 - [ So thanks to someone (Finn) I'm now back on the thought of Beelzebub somehow ending up in Heaven and her legit first thoughts are "I don't know what the hell just happened, but I don't really care, I'mma get the fuck up outta here, fuck this shit, I'm out!" but Heaven's like, Hahaha...no... no. No. Not this time! and they're semi-keeping her prisoner but also semi-granting her amnesty and Bee is just trying to escape Heaven the entire time because IT'S TOO HEAVENLY HERE! ]

[queenbeeibee]

Hey Bee? Keenie isn’t taking the news too well.

"...I figured she wouldn't. Fuck, I'd hoped Jellybean and Jackson could break the news lightly." Bee was more than aware at the unfairness of the situation- after all, on the Grand Scale, her crimes were far higher than Keenie's had ever been. If anyone should have been allowed an invitation back to Heaven, the Cherub was the more likely candidate- wait. "...Maybe... Maybe I could talk to Adam about Keenie, and her situation. I'd have to ask her if she'd be cool with that first, of course, but... maybe I could help mend things up a bit."

It was a long shot - Heaven wasn't known to be forgiving to its Angels, after all - but maybe. Adam could be reasoned with sometimes, and surely, he'd see the accident wasn't Keenie's fault. Even if the First Man, himself, couldn't welcome the Cherub back to Heaven, maybe he could influence the Head Cherubim to go back over the case. "Lemme call Keenie and see what she thinks. And apologize. I should've thought about all the consequences of this first..."
