This wasn't Christmas. Granted, it was probably closer date wise than the regular celebration, but the only things that Lucifer could see were the severe chill in the air and the irritants that his Uncle had sent to try and mock up the scene to appear somewhat close. But there were only so much the generic carollers singing the same old boring sounds on repeat could do as far as Lucifer was concerned, and as he sat across the street on a park bench, arms crossed over his chest and seemingly unaffected by the cold, his eyes were pinned on the group currently moving from store front to store front and bursting into song. But as they started about their tenth rendition of 'O Holy Night', Lucifer simply couldn't take it anymore. If his Uncle wanted to bore him to death, there were more inventive ways of doing it, ways that he couldn't think of a dozen and a half different ways to improve.

Raising a hand with a bit of a smirk and a quick twist of his fingers, the carollers warped, twisted in the moment, only to be replaced by a much more uptempo musical ensemble. It was a small change for the moment, but 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' was at least momentarily preferable to the sentimental claptrap they had been spewing. Lowering his hand, Lucifer paused, glancing around himself slowly, waiting for the wraith of his Mother to fall upon his head or his Uncle to just switch them back, but when neither came, he couldn't help but smile.

It was a small test of his boundaries, one that didn't involve violence for once, and he'd passed it. Next step was seeing if he could push the reality bubble a bit farther. After all, everybody loved talking animals at Christmas.
