[Lucifer has found that he's begun to use the network almost solely when he's angry. Truth be told it's one of the few times it has any real appeal to him, at least in regard to using it as his own platform to speak. And after the embarrassment and insult leveled at him by the Tower this last month, he's quite fed up. He needs something to take his mind off of things.

Which brings him to what he has to say.]

I quite enjoy competition. I believe myself a competitive man. But I felt there was something lacking in the competition the tower gave us. I found it a bit impersonal. Part of competition is getting to know the people you're competing against. That's not particularly possible when so many of them have had their identities crush and assumed by something else, now is it?

I'd go so far as to say it wasn't sporting.

I wasn't very satisfied by this last competition. If anything, it served to simply arouse my thirst instead of quench it. And so I would like to propose a more personal competition. A bit of a way for me to get to know some of you better. To even find a few more who are like-minded, you could say.

I therefore propose a duel, or set of duels, to take place one week from today. I will take on any and all challengers who answer my challenge whether they come at me one at a time or in groups or all at once. The challenged may even choose where the battle takes place and, if they wish, any restrictions they wish to impose.

It's been quite a long time since I've taken some exercise. And certainly there must be some others who would be interested in a friendly bit of competition.

[You can ask that. In fact, he doesn't even need words to answer that.

He'll unbutton the neck of his shirt and scan the camera over it so that the collar is visible.

Violet.]

[~~Oh gods he's gonna strip--HOLY SHIT IT'S DAVID BOWIE I MEAN THE GOBLIN KING I MEAN...~~ From what Naoya has understood of the collars, the purple ones seem to be the most powerful members of the tower...for the most part anyway. Considering this guy's confidence, he'd wager he was definitely strong.

Definitely a challenge. Naoya wasn't one to rush headfirst into a battle. However, he did need the practice, especially with his last bouts in the tower. Maybe best not to go at it alone...after all, social links doth make one more powerful.]

You mentioned you'd allow groups as well. I'd like to do that.

And you're free to.

Simply have your group set and choose your battlefield. I will meet you there.

Have you fought against a Persona user before?

[This is both to see if he has and if he knows about them at all.]

A Persona user? No.

That will be new for me.

[Demon summoners, and regular humans, and angels, and God, yes. But Persona users he hasn't fought yet, though his tone of voice indicates he knows what they are.]

But you seem to know what they are.

[THANK YOU, CAPTAIN TOUDOU OBVIOUS.]

I do.

[Come on Toudou. Can you put two and two together? Lucifer is hoping you can.]

[He will, as soon as his own Persona stops laughing at him. It is. Distracting. To think.]

I see...

[...just give him a minute.]

...Do you understand what that means?

[C'mon! You can do it! The Devil believes in you!]

...

[Violet color, seems to know what Persona users are, and he mentioned his name in other conversations that Naoya is looking at now. Louis Cyphre. Maybe if he says it phonetically...

...son of a--

He can hear the slow clapping in the back of his head.]

...Clever.

[Yeah he gets it now. You know for someone who's just realized that he's basically going to spar with Lucifer, Naoya is rather calm.]

Most don't realize it.

It amuses me, too.

[And that pleases Lucifer. Tremendously. He'd expect nothing less from someone willing to fight him.]

I suppose it would depend on their personal beliefs and upbringing.

[Or in his case, having Eriko as a classmate. He can't help but imagine what her reaction to meeting Lucifer would be.

Probably the biggest fangirl.]

...I will meet you at the appropriate time.

And the floor upon which you wish to meet?

Forty-Five. Is this satisfactory?

[> Unfortunately, you have been ignoring the network for a little while, considering what week it is...]

[> Oops.]

[>It's social rank building!]

[> ...Good point.]
[> You make certain Nanako is distracted when this takes place...]
