Fourth Candelabram - Voice

[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.

Lucifer.

[Dead. Pan.]

[Now see, this would have a lot more impact if
1) He was in a religion that mentioned Lucifer
2) If he showed up in more manga
3) He remembered they had fused him in the Velvet Room.
4) And even then he wouldn't remember all of the names until he used them. so
5) ...]

I'll be right back.

[...He's going to go find Jun.]

[Have fun Eikichi, because he's all the way down in the Music Room actually playing the piano and rehearsing like they were supposed to.

Seriously you're the worst band leader ever.]

[ARE YOU KIDDING being fifteen minutes late is perfect rock star material. NOT THAT THIS IS THE POINT ANYWAY, he arrives down there and just gets close to Jun.]

Jun, who is Lucyfer?

[He jumped slightly and stopped mid-song because whoah hi Eikichi, personal space much??]

Uh... Lucifer is commonly referred to as another name for Satan-- the antithesis to the Abrahamic God in Western religion... Though more accurately, Lucifer is the second name of the fallen angel Helel. Once one of God's most trusted servants, before he rebelled against God and fell down to Hell. Most scholarship on Lucifer is vague about what he did to be thrown out of Heaven... but he's also typically interpreted to be the serpent in the Garden of Eden that tempted Eve to take the apple and bestowed Knowledge on humanity. Though that was after his fall from grace.

[Wow it's like himself when he talks about bands and the bro code...he stares at him blankly for a few seconds and then...]

Soooo...do you think after we've fought Nyarly that this guy is beatable?

[Uh, Eikichi?

Where did you go...?

Did he say something bad? Should he send another message or something?]

[shhh alcor they'll be back soon.]

Wha--?! [the hell kind of question was that. Surprise yes, but also a look of hard contemplation, crossing one arm of his chest and bringing the other hand to hold his chin.]

Hm... Nyarlathotep is a concept as old as humanity itself--he's a part of us. But Lucifer is a force outside our reach that has rested outside of our realm before even humanity came to be. There's not even a powerful or influential enough deity in Japanese or Greek mythology to come close to equating what Lucifer means to the Abrahamic tradition.

[He frowned and lowered his arms back to his sides.] Besides, we didn't even defeat Nyarlathotep. At most, we crippled him into inaction for a few moments.

[Now if you'll excuse him, he has to be a nerd and wonder who would win in a fight, Nyarlathotep or Lucifer.]

[THE ANSWER IS LUCIFER DON'T EVEN THINK OTHERWISE.

LUCIFER 4 LYFE 4EVER.]

[BUT IT'S LIKE OBI WAN KANOBI VS. CAPTAIN PICARD

COME ON]

[OH MY GOD JUN!

...EVERYONE KNOWS IT'S PICARD.]

[TBQH NYAR WOULD TOTALLY LOSE GUYS THIS IS JUST FACTS

~~what is a bias~~]

Okay true...but what if I told you that Lucyfer is asking people if they want to fight with him? D'you think we could...get some good fighting practice out of it?

[THINK ABOUT IT. US TAKING ON...THIS GUY. HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY THEY'VE DONE THAT?]

What?!

[STANDING UP NOW IN ASTONISHMENT BECAUSE WHAT]

Lucifer's here-- [no wait more important]-- You want to fight him...? You'd get ripped apart...!

He did mention we could state some rules. "Not ripping us apart" could be one...

[>He seems pretty dead set on doing this. Could it be that Hades has a hand in this?]

Michel...! I think you're missing the point here!

[HE DOESN'T WANT TO FIGHT A SATAN ANALOGUE WHY ARE YOU DRAGGING HIM INTO THIS]

~~BOOOOOM!~~ What? I think we need ~~the exp~~ the practice. ~~BOOOOOM!~~ He did say he just wanted to spar, not ~~BOOOOOM!~~ mutilate us!

[Eikichi ~~BOOOOOM!~~ just sees all of this as win-win right now...]

~~BOOOOOM!~~

Yes, but he's vastly more powerful than us...! Who's to say he couldn't do it on accident? Besides, I know you want to beat him, and there's no way you'll really be able to pull it off...!

[You know what's awesome

thinking.]

Jun, you know Big Sis always said 'Let's positive Thinking!' There's I'M Possible in Impossible! I bet Star Bro would...

Edited 2012-11-02 08:00 (UTC)

Star Bro would...

SHIT! I was talking to him on a terminal about this! He's probably still waiting for me to reply back!

[Your glorious band leader is...running up the flight of stairs.

>Follow him?]

[does he have to

he really doesn't want to

i mean they haven't even talked to him since the halloween thing]

Michel...!!

[

>Fine, Follow him.]

[Meanwhile while Alcor was waiting. Suddenly the video has Eikichi out of breath. He could do his running just fine, only that time he had hurried which means of course the tower had caused more traps to spring up on him than usual.

OH MY GOD HE WAS SWEATY EEEEEW.]

Okay...we....I mean...I asked...Jun...about...the guy...since I didn't know anything....

Are you still there Star Bro?

[He's sitting just where he was left.

Staring in to the camera awkwardly, like he was expecting something.]

Why didn't you ask me...?

[Jun was right in tow behind Eikichi, which meant he got to deal with defusing the situation with all off the Tower traps. Thank god for Chronos, but he was still sweaty and tired by the time they got back up and oh my god Eikichi why are you doing this to him.]

Hi... Al Suha... [Just gonna smile awkwardly and give a wave to the camera, before that dissolved and he tried to catch his breath again.]

I... would love... to hear the answer... to that...!

[Pointed stare at Eikichi go.]
