ic notes and random gab

Anyone else really excited about Spring Break? ...I guess it's mostly for the teachers and students out there. But I'm taking the whole week off, and I've got a beach house rented in Brightford... so it's gonna be pretty amazing.

[Private to Friends]
Who's in? I wanna make sure we've got enough beds and sofas to house everyone.

While I'm pleased that someone is taking the initiative to regularly clean the less popular coffee maker in the break room, it seems whoever is doing this often forgets to rinse out the tank. That was an interesting way to discover that vinegar doesn't improve the flavor of coffee.

I would say that the lesson here is that we should all try to be more considerate of one another. Both in and outside the workplace, especially if you work with a bunch of people who are at work at supposedly 'ungodly' hours of the morning.

There is something I want you to hold onto for me. Can I trust you to be responsible with it?

I know this is probably a long shot but does anybody remember Latvarian papanași? Or really any Latvarian food. Bless them for their willingness to mix cheese with pastry and then cover it in sweet things. 10/10 worth sitting through a Doom monologue for.

It's weird the things you miss from home, you know? It's never what you expect.

Am I doing this right? Edward Elric. I'm new around here.

I hear there are people with strange powers and abilities. Is that true?

( Texts to Gabriel )

I've come to the conclusion that I'm an idiot.

Darlings, are we done? I feel like it's done. Spent too long on the out-of-control carousel that is the occasional magical hiccup here in Preya and I was starting to feel a little motion sick from it all. I spent most of today scrubbing the ick off me because one of you lovelies hasn't invented brain bleach yet, but I think I'm good now.

Are you good, Preya? Let me know how you're all doing, sometimes we could all do with talking things out.

In my case, I'd like to say how disappointed I am. Satan is generally supposed to be sexy, right? You see him often depicted as a gorgeous blonde in a suit. Usually a white suit, martini glass in his hand. Well groomed, suave, and an air of amused superiority. Getting up close to him is supposed to feel like swimming with a shark, knowing that he could destroy you if he wanted but he won't because he's above all of that. That dangerous, sexy vibe, you know? Well, I've met two Satans now, maybe three if you squint. None of them have measured up.

Are my expectations too high?

[Angel Radio]

Just like to confirm that I'm definitely feeling the absence of Lucifer and all subsequent impending doom?

Well, I'm alive, barely. To the owners of the Club Luna establishment, I'd apologise about the mess but it would have been worse had I not been there. More human remains splattered against the walls. I've sent you a cheque that should well and truly cover the clean up.

Turns out, anyone can pray to an angel. Even a demon.

To the (NPC) families, you have my sincere condolences. Lucifer killed a lot of people, but I got a lot of people out of that nightclub, saved a lot of lives. That should count for something.

[Aphrodite]

I'm fine. Don't be mad. I'm not at my house, I'm staying with Michael at his hotel. Not exactly five star living, but I don't really care. I'm healing up slowly but surely. If you could stop by my house and feed my dogs, that would be lovely.

Least he's got a decent TV. When I heal up a bit better, I'm going to spruce up the place.

It was a little embarrassing though. I passed out, and when I got here, I was pretty much cuddling up to him. I don't think he mentioned it. I already feel like Whitney Houston as it is, and he's Kevin Costner. Mind you, Kevin Costner's taller than he is. He's shorter than me.

Nearly got my skull cracked open like a walnut, that wasn't fun. But I'm a stubborn son of a whore, you know me.

How's my pupper?

[Private Angel Radio]

Gabriel. He got free.

It's a rare day that I'm phased by much of anything, but this week may just be working overtime for it. WTG, Preya!

Do not want.

[Filtered away from Lucifer]

I would like to assure everyone that while Lucifer's sudden appearance might be upsetting to some of you, the situation is under control and you have nothing to fear.

Really, if you’re not laying around, listening to Wasteland, Baby! over and over again until it soaks into you and you’re sure you either want to escape into the woods and become a forest lesbian or slow dance with your lover on a deserted beach at midnight, what are you doing with your life?

( Left on Michael's Desk. )

You're looking for a sale on Valentines candy, you say? Forgot to give your loved ones something actually worth their while on the Holiday? Didn't find true love on Valentine's Day proper?

Why, I know just the place to find all of those things and more.

Not that I am speaking in my official capacity here but I would like to remind the general population that while the 14th may be a day of love for most of you, that does not mean laws regarding public exposure and public indecency will be waived. Please show some respect for yourself, your partner(s) and your fellow citizens by celebrating the holiday without engaging in any inappropriate conduct while in public.

>> What was that about Michaelmas, again?

If I see one more stylised heart, candied or otherwise, in my vicinity, I'm going to set something on fire.

Phew!

Y'know when you start watching a video on youtube and then the sidebar suggests some other stuff to watch and then all the sudden you look up and hours have gone by?

Well, I just did that with pretty much all of modern television. Let's just get it out there before anyone asks: Game of Thrones is overrated and that new reboot of She-Ra had me thinking that maybe furries were okay.

The world is a different place than how I left it. More confusing. More colorful. More winter, I guess?

Whatever. Not the point. The POINT is, the time of the season for loving is upon us. C'mon down to Just Desserts for some heavenly specials. Tell me who your daddy is, and you'll get something special. ;)
