[It's unlikely that Lucifer's voice could sound blander and more bored than it does right now. There's also the faintest hint of dry sarcasm in there too.]There are moments when I find myself running so low on patience that it's a wonder I don't resort to violence. It seems to be a method that's worked quite well for the human race these last few

But evolution is violence, my dear!

[freedomtoleave]

Only at one point on the spectrum. I will grant you that it's a rather large point, but there is something beyond it. Provided that this world manages to make it that far, perhaps your people will see it.

[he_is_wild]

The order that governs the madness? I somehow doubt humanity will survive long enough to see itself sublimed.

[freedomtoleave]

It has happened once before, though that was in a universe far removed from this one. Still, I find that I'm inching toward cautious optimism.

Gonna climb down out of that ivory tower anytime soon?

[freedomtoleave]

If you're trying to insult me with that comparison, you succeeded rather artfully.

[onhiswaydown]

Thought you'd let me know when Judgment Day was coming up.

[freedomtoleave]

And I rather thought you might seek my rather specialized knowledge before you followed the Magician off on some idiotic venture that could have killed you.

In my experience, at least, violence is a temporary solution; the problem almost always comes back to bite you. In a different form, of course.

[freedomtoleave]

In mine, the problem always comes back to bite.

[bainestech]

Problems need to be way more polite.

[freedomtoleave]

I agree. Perhaps then we could ignore them completely.

[fishnets]

That's awfully pessimistic.

[freedomtoleave]

The Magician has a tendency to bring out the worst in me.

[fishnets]

You shouldn't let just one person rain on your parade.

[freedomtoleave]

When he jeopardizes the continued well-being of the parade, I find my options severely limited. Especially when the option to kill him and be done with it is unavailable.

[freedomtoleave]

My thoughts are many and varied. This is merely one facet. Aggravation and irritation are not simply human emotions.

[freedomtoleave]

Perhaps you would care to point out a period of human history where the penchant for violence was conspicuously absent. It's quite possible I glanced away while it was happening and missed it.
