“ I’m thinking about throwing a party, and you’re invited. After all, a great party needs entertainment.” /Hikaru to mammon cause it’s been forever.

"Ya better invite me! Ain't really a party 'til I'm there!" Mammon didn't admit to being skilled at many things, but he did believe himself to be an apt partier. Drinking, games, chatting up even the quietest wallflower — he knew how to make the most of a party, no matter how small.

There was only one condition.

"Wait, uh. . . My brother, Asmo, he's been kind'a down in the dumps the past couple'a days. Think it'd be alright if I dragged him along?"

“Long time no see. Oy, remember that time I gave you chocolate coins as a gift, instead of real coins? Good times.” Looks very smug right now. /Hikaru to mammon

“There wasn’t a single good thing about that, and ya know it! I’m still expectin’ ya t’make up for it! I want real, actual gold and not that shitty chocolate ya gave me! Yeah, I said it! That chocolate tasted like garbage!”

“Hey, you’re dressing up for Halloween, aren’t you?” Hopefully Mammon has something picked out, or he’ll find him something himself~ (Hikaru)

“I was plannin’ on it, but I can’t come up with anythin’ good t’go as.” There was no way in any layer of hell itself that he would miss out on the chance to dress himself up and party. Free food, drink and candy — he only wished that this happened more often. One a year wasn’t nearly enough, though he supposed there were other holidays he could exploit.

Slumped in his seat with his hands trapped behind his head, Mammon let out a frustrated grunt. “Why, are you? If ya got any spare ideas layin’ around, I might snag a couple.”

" Are you just going to keep standing there? You're blocking the room off." Hikaru to Mammon (I think we talked about them)

“Sure am! Ya want me t’move, ya gotta convince me.” He rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, signifying his greedy desire for grimm — glittering coin or rumpled bill, he didn’t care either way.

A kind and thoughtful person would have stepped aside and apologized for being such a small nuisance, but Mammon was not that person. He was the Avatar of Greed, and any situation could be milked for gold if he tried hard enough.

｢ @spadexofxhearts​ — Christmas 2021 ｣

Remembers that Mammon wanted coins. For his first prank, he uses Christmas to give him chocolate shaped coins to wrapped in golden paper. He doesn’t know if he’ll fall for it, but finds it funny all the same. /Hikaru

One would think that after a few thousand years of existence, after living for as long as he had with the kind of brothers he had, that Mammon would expect pranks like this. He was a prankster himself when the mood hit, yet he still didn’t assume for a fleeting second that the coins handed to him were fake.

His greed flared as it always did, hands snatching up the gift as soon as demonly possible. He felt the cool metal against his fingers, tongue peeking out and barely grazing his lips as he admired the shimmer. So pretty. So shiny. And they were all his! But he handled them for too long, the excessive heat of his hands melting the chocolate inside. One coin gave, became U shaped in his palm. Mammon let out a sudden, confused sound before he stared hard at the chocolate that oozed against his skin.

Then it hit him — these weren’t the kind of coins he wanted.

“Did you——? Are you shittin’ me? Chocolate coins, really?! What are ya, two?” He peeled back the gold foil, the two halved sticky and glued together with half-melted chocolate. It smelled nice, he couldn’t ignore that. More than likely tasted good too, but he was too pissed to lick away the chocolate that had pressed into his hand. “You’re an asshole, ya know that? C’mon, gimme a real gift! I’ve been bustin’ my ass for ya, I deserve somethin’ nice!”

"Hey, who's that guy standing in the corner looking all serious and important?" /Hikaru to Mammon. About Lucifer, imagine Hikaru and Mammon are friends, Hikaru sees Lucifer scold Mammon, and Hikaru plots a prank as revenge.

“Oh, him? Eh.  .  .” He shrugged, but there was noticeable tension in his shoulders when he glanced towards the taller, more refined demon. “He’s my older brother, Lucifer. Wait, ya’ve never heard of ‘im?”

His irritation and fleeting fear was replaced with wonder at the idea of someone not recognizing the first-born, the Avatar of Pride, the Morningstar that had fallen from the heavens. “He’s attached at the hip t’Lord Diavolo, so he thinks he can get away with bein’ bossy towards everyone else. He’s a pain in the ass, always stringin’ me up and actin’ like I’m the only one that causes trouble.”

He scoffed and turned, giving Hikaru a nudge with his elbow. “Let’s go. If he sees us slackin’ off around here, he’ll get on my case and end up punishin’ both of us.”
