(Open Anti-OTP!)

[reign_inhell]

Lucifer's currently lounging in a chair with a drink in one hand, his feet propped up on a footstool. Obviously, he's in a decent mood today -- or at least, he looks amused. No wonder, since he has a certain book by Dante Alighieri in his hands at the moment.

Typist: ... Diogenes' post tired me out. -- Anyways, I'd just like to note that

*what the hell... they did dance once, after all*

*Haleth has been exploring the Mansion, for lack of anything better to do, when she runs across the Prince of Darkness in his chair with his book*

Oh--! ...Good day.

[reign_inhell]

*lowers the book and manages something of a congenial smirk -- if there is such a thing*

Hello -- Haleth, was it?

[_sheildmaiden_]

*ignore how the typist fails like a faily thing, shall we?*

*short bow* It was. And you were Lucifer, were you not?

*sits in a chair across from him, looking vaguely amused*

Good book, that. Not quite accurate. He forgot the hanging by your ankles, watching twenty-four hour election coverage. Now that is torture.

Typist: ... I swear I commented to this o_O

[reign_inhell]

*raises an eyebrow*

And there is the fact that I'm not perpetually mired in frozen mud and sludge. -- Unfortunately for everyone who has the luck, or lack thereof, to come across me.

[_hellblazer_]

Yeah but it'd get your pants all messy. And we couldn't have that.

[reign_inhell]

*wryly* Not that many people wear pants in Hell.

[candybarangel]

*peers suspiciously*

What are you doing?

[reign_inhell]

*can feel his IQ level drop already :(*

... Reading, what does it look like?

[candybarangel]

It could be... some infernal ritual? Or something?

*squints at the book* Isn't 'Alighieri' something in some foul tongue or another?

[reign_inhell]

...

Yes. Yes, it is. Congratulations -- you've caught me red-handed in the middle of a ritual that will curse all the virgin girls in the vicinity with an insatiable lust for the nearest man. *doesn't look too upset about being "caught", though*

He wanders up, carrying a book of his own, and tilts his head to see what Lucifer is reading. After a thoughtful pause, he says, "Excuse me, but I didn't realize you had time to read."

[reign_inhell]

He laughs, tossing the book aside carelessly (it's written in original Italian, he would like to note). "I make time for everything. Besides, this book isn't exactly world-class reading material."

[sweariwontdie]

He follows the path of the book with his eyes. "I suppose not. It's suppose to be a classic though. I can't read Italian." And no, Armand will not look directly at Lucifer, even though it's rude.

[reign_inhell]

Lucifer shrugs. "The quality of reading material is relative. It depends on who's doing the reading, after all. Now, while many people think Dante is a classic (and granted, they may be right), I think he's -- excuse the crude expression -- rather full of crap."
