She tried real hard to talk you up, too! Somehow, I ain't too surprised to hear you Pride, though...

[Said in the most polite, Southern Gentlemanly Toneâ„¢ he can muster, of course.]

Either way, whole thing's funny as hell. I betcha Ezra would think so!
Or he'd be mortified.

...

But that'd be funny, too.
dadbeatdad: (180)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-24 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Well she and I often have amazing fun together. We very much enjoy each other's company and are good friends.

I would like to be friends with those she loves too. If they are open to it.

As for Ezra, he'll see this, blush, and probably cover his face because he never though it would come to this.

Which yes. Is very funny indeed.
fauxbot: (screen, neutral) (📺↮11)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-24 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm open to it! What, a few jabs make it seem like I'm not?
'S just a li'l friendly competition, Mr. Morningstar!

[...

Unfortunately for Luci, he decided on "Mr. Morningstar" LONG before they met. He's doing it out of actual respect, not to tease.
He may be bickering with Lucifer over bidding on their mutual buddy, but he's still a deeply devout man talking to the literal devil, okay.]


... Hm.
I might have to hang 'round here for a while longer, see if he comes 'n checks in on all this.
Wanna see his reaction 'n all.
dadbeatdad: (211)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-24 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it not polite to ask another if they want to be friends than to assume either way?

[The respectful Mr. Morningstar is nice to hear at least. Not like Luci doesn't already feel old most of the damn time.]

We can camp out together and watch. I can even bring popcorn.

[He snaps his fingers. In two puffs of red smoke, two popcorn buckets appear, full of popcorn. One is a duck. The other a TV.]
fauxbot: (screen, unsure) (📺↮07)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-24 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Looks at the popcorn. Takes the bucket.
Stops to see if it's plastic or metal or just reusable at all, really, so he can keep it after all of this is over --
But also.]


Just checkin', but... no strings attached with this?
Grew up readin' the good book, listenin' to the preacher, y'know how it is...

[Yes, somehow being offered magically conjured popcorn is what's making him fall back into being kinda sorta scared of Lucifer.
Somehow.]
dadbeatdad: (248)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-24 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[The bucket is definitely reusable. Metal from the feel of it. Maybe aluminum? Lucifer laughs.]

I would not try to get your soul for a bowl of popcorn. No strings attached. I wouldn't do that to someone who Eva loves enough to call boyfriend.

[He steals a kernel from Chipp's bucket and eats it. Then grabs his own and eats more. Then he snaps. Two drinks appear as well.]

Some ginger beer to wash it down, if you want. It's made by this lovely man in North Carolina. Calls it Devil's Foot. Farm to can craft soda. Would you believe it? On the house as well.
fauxbot: (unhelmeted, neutral) (📺↮10)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-24 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, that eye on his screen goes HUGE at the idea of a drink from somewhere so close to home, okay, he's snagging that can IMMEDIATELY -
Though, now he has to contend with lifting his screen so he can eat and drink.

He takes a moment, looks at the hustle and bustle around the both of them... and decides that people aren't paying much attention at all, so it's probably okay?
Probably.
The way he lifts his helmet is still careful and nervous, though. It's his security blanket in the face of being out in public.

But. Craft soda from North Carolina. How the hell could he not partake??]


... You can just bring shit like that into Ellipsa?
Or didja get it with a Wishin' Star or somethin', teleportin' it into the venue?

[His face is flat and his voice is monotone without his helmet, of course. The rizz is stored in the goofy cartoon expressions and computer-augmented voice.]
dadbeatdad: (Jeremy Jordan Energy)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-24 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Menial creation. [Lucifer smiles as he says it.]

One of the powers I have still. I am sure you can feel most of my energy is still angelic.

[Which it is. Seems he can just create it. Likely if it exists and he knows of it. Not like he can go creating Keyblades or Reaper Weapons or some shit.]

But I know it only works on small things in this world. Anything big and powerful, I'll need a Wishing Star to get.

I can do champagne fountains too. And caviar mountains. Some of my favorites.

...

Can ya do strong alcohol? Liquors 'n shit?

[Said as he takes a gentle sip of his soda...]
dadbeatdad: (145)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-24 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see why not. How strong we talking? You have trouble getting drunk?
fauxbot: (unhelmeted, sad) (📺↮72)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-24 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Well -
That, ouais, can't get drunk offa mortal alcohol. It gotta be magic.

...

But I also just miss the rum from home.

[And when he says "home", he means home. Not the land of the dead -
Louisiana, where his heart still lays.]
dadbeatdad: (171)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-24 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I can help with that. From your home. Tell me of the rum. Everything you remember.
fauxbot: (unhelmeted, neutral) (📺↮10)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-24 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...

And it won't cost me nothin'?

[He'll get over the whole idea of taking things from Lucifer someday, but they just met, so that day is not today. Sorry, Luci.]
dadbeatdad: (337)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-24 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. It will cost you...

[What better way to help get Chipp over this than with a joke example of a price? He reaches out and boops Chipp's nose.]

A single boop. Paid in full. That should be good for the rest of the day. In case you want anything else, like extra butter, on your popcorn.
fauxbot: (unhelmeted, happy) (📺↮76)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-24 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[- The boop startles him a little, making him jump, but at least he's gone all wide-eyed and taken out of whatever suspicious headspace he'd been in!

Lucifer gets no smiles for it, but that's more just because Chipp can't smile. Not without his helmet.]


... Awright. Sure - deal.

[Usually this kind of silliness would get him to be a little standoffish, feel like he's not being taken seriously -
But honestly? A sudden nose-boop as payment is something Nenonen might have done.

So he's amenable to it.

Which means insert description of the rum he misses here. This would be a good chance to wax poetic about something deeply meaningful and personal to Chipp, get into his motivations and his sense of deep loss and longing when it comes to the home he can never return to and all the memories locked behind him in the world of the living, but the person behind the curtain has never tried rum to begin with and thus doesn't want to get it wrong, so feel free to just imagine it instead okay--]
dadbeatdad: (146)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-24 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lucifer listens intently and notices there is no smile. Perhaps something to ask when they know each other better. Still, he listens to the full description of Louisiana rum. With a snap of his fingers, boom. A bottle of the very run described. Lucifer picks it up and uses a claw to gently etch a few symbols into the rum.

Then a flash of fire around it and boom! It is blessed rum!]


Here you go. Blessed by the Devil himself. That should get you nice and drunk as it used to when you were a living mortal.
fauxbot: (unhelmeted, happy) (📺↮86)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-24 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[He may not smile, but it's clear there's something that changes about his expression when he reaches out to take that bottle, bringing it close like it's absolutely precious.

It looks every bit like he remembers it.

And if you didn't know any better, you could almost say his eyes look a bit watery, looking it over... but no, surely that can't be true. Can it?]


... Well, hot damn. You even got the typos on the address right.
You sure there ain't nothin' you want in exchange?

Obviously won't give up none o' the classics, but I feel like I owe you for this one.
dadbeatdad: (351)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-25 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Lucifer's safe softens seeing the tenderness in Chipp's expression and especially his movements. He shakes his head. He unfurls his wings and flies up some so he can put his hand on Chipp's shoulder. You're too tall, sir.]

Friends give things to friends to make them happy. Not for anything in exchange. If you want to give me something else, one day. Feel free.

Now. How about we discuss splitting the date with Ezra so we both get part of the time with him? Or take him on a sort of double date with both of us? Huh?

{ honestly he hasn't been interacting with the bids all that much since trying to sort out his business thing is taking all his money. he's just been on the silent auction side to pop down a few here or there when he makes it back to the date auction side.

besides, if annie asks for help during the evening he's promised to do what he can. she's taken a lot on, and is a good friend despite him laughing at her suffering when she first announced this.




so maybe this is karma. }

no that


is what he heard. }

[personal profile] emanation 2025-08-25 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
H-huh...? Huh? You're not- You can't- I mean-

{ hELP

as expected, his face is going red. he's already stumbled over the words he was saying so he can't exactly start again can he? no. so he just shoves both of his hands in front of his face and tips his head back. }


Can I start again?
fauxbot: (screen, interest) (📺↮04)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-25 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, if the show's happening early -
Chipp's gonna go ahead and yank over a chair with his magic, flopping into it with that bucket of popcorn.]


Oh yeah, Mr. Morningstar - I definitely think we oughtta split'im. Maybe even if we don't win this!
What do you think?
dadbeatdad: (291)

[personal profile] dadbeatdad 2025-08-25 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lucifer smiles when Ezra comes over, clearly hears what he says, and he too summons a chair to sit in and eat his popcorn from his ducky bucket.]

I think one, yes Ezra. You may start again. Also, yes. We should split him. But not in the King Solomon way, oh no. I can hold his left hand and you can hold is right. Sound fair?
emanation: (212)

[personal profile] emanation 2025-08-25 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
{ considering how social he is it shouldn't be a surprise he's going around and saying hi to people he knows!!!

he regrets it already, yes, but unfortunately for them both the fact that they sit down with popcorn is weird enough to trip his thoughts up as well. }


King Solo... what now? Why are you sitting down with-- wait is that popcorn? I didn't even think they had popcorn on here tonight.

{ the weirdness isn't enough to make his face any less flushed though tbh }
fauxbot: (screen, interest) (📺↮14)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-08-25 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Awh, y'know, gotta have popcorn when ya watchin' somethin' good!
You like what we did with your biddin' sheet? Might need to get a second one; duckzilla's pretty big.

[Didn't really think of that while he was drawing duckzilla.

God, Ezra's date probably costs so much, now --]
