So, this is fun.

[Look who's seeming remarkably chipper today. He's got his mask on, and is walking along at a lovely pace through the gardens with a sardonic smile on his always-gorgeous face.]

I wonder, fellow Promenadians, should I try and be a better citizen? Joining the guard is an excellent way to serve one's city.

[Dawn remembers this man from one of his earlier videos, so she figures it couldn't hurt to try striking up another conversation-especially after the royal announcement has left something weighing on her mind.]

I wonder... Would it make one a "bad" citizen if they didn't do something like that? Something like signing up for the guard, I mean.

Tickets to Hell would be kind of cheap if the only entrance requirement was not doing something voluntary, don't you think? I hyperbolize, of course.

[condorseeker]

[She laughs at that.] That's a good way of putting it. But if doing something like that makes one a "better" citizen, then what should the opposite be? Anything good has to have some sort of opposition for it to really count as good, doesn't it?

[iwasason]

Lawlessness, I imagine, but that's assuming a law and order-based system of morality. It's not uncommon in human governments- or any governments.

A better citizen? Really?

[Spreads his arms in a gives-no-fucks Kanye shrug.]

Tell me I wouldn't be perfect in servitude of our great King and Queen.

[chickbro]

Yes, the picture of perfection for that particular job. It's you. I can see it now.

[iwasason]

Finally, someone who supports me.

[fancy_evil]

[ He laughs. ]

Inspiring. Will I be seeing you in uniform, then?

[iwasason]

Oh, you know how important patriotism is to me. The city has my loyalties.

[fancy_evil]

They'd have one guard no one would want to mess with.

[iwasason]

Someone always tries.

Really?

[iwasason]

Guess.

[outandproudboy]

Sarcasm.

[iwasason]

You cut me to the quick.

[Laurent is new here, and didn't know Lucifer yet. He stares at the mask as the red seems to move, but perhaps it was just an illusion. He's not sure what is it, but there's something in this man's voice that alarms Marid and he can feel his powers rising. Like Lucifer, his own mask doesn't have any strings.]

If that's what you wish to do, I can't see why not.

[Lucifer is restless as always, so he doesn't stay still- he moves in frame as s l o w l y as a snake before its charmer.]

I don't believe we've met.

[video]

[aeterno_arma]

No, we didn't sir. I just arrived. [He bows slightly.] I'm Laurent, pleasure to meet you.

[video]

[iwasason]

Lucifer. [He doesn't bow, or incline his head.] Are you enjoying your stay?
