Yes. We did.
[That answer is a bit long in coming. This year for you. Thousands for Lucifer. Was it thousands? Was that too much? He isn't sure anymore, and YHWH always manages to come back and continue their war. Again and again and again.]
It's not as if we will find ourselves bored this coming year. It seems we have a task ahead of us as well.
People drink to ring in the New Year as well. Would you join me for one, Aleph?

Your first, huh? Sorry it had to be in a place like this.
[There's a bit of a pause before the second response comes in.] ... to not let this tower get to me.
[It's proving to be difficult.]

Why change a good thing. The meadow has sufficed so far. I suppose it shall continue to.
[And Aleph will find the King of Demons stretched out in one of the corners, a bottle of wine and glasses beside him. He holds the bottle out a bit towards Aleph.]
Try it. You'll like it.
It's Dionysus'.
Try it. You'll like it.
It's Dionysus'.
[Lucifer, meanwhile, will pour a glass and then take a small sip from the bottle anyway before setting it aside. Why the hell not.]
He messed around with a few different alcohols for a while. A Port here. A whiskey there.
But he always found himself coming back to wine. It was his calling.
And in the end we always come back to what we're meant to do.
[...Well shit. That sounded a bit more somber than he meant. Let him just take a drink from his own glass.]

[... huh. That's one way to look at it.] ... true enough. You can't say this place isn't boring.
Thanks. It might be tough, but the last decade didn't break me. This tower won't do it, either.

[Lucifer pauses for a moment, the cup to his lips, before stopping.]
Not the only what?
Not the only what?
...No. I suppose you aren't.
I expect great things from many of the people of this Tower. But I still wonder.
[And he's growing tired. And angry. It's taking a great deal to not try and make a spectacle of himself, to reveal himself to all, at this point. Because what point is there in hiding his identity after a half a year of captivity with no change.]
...A great deal of time has passed in our world since you cast down YHWH, Aleph. I've lived a long, long while after it.

[... pretty sure they've never met, but he gets the feeling they'd be friends if they did. He already likes the way you think.] Well said.
[Somehow, he manages to keep it short instead of delivering a Goddamn Protag/Keyderp speech in text form. But man, was he tempted.]

Some cultures do, others have festivals. Visiting the shrine was common in my Japan, as is wishing others a happy new year.
[There's a pause between texts...]
Happy New Year, and to answer your question... I try not to make any resolutions I cannot keep, but maybe to survive for those who've fought before me.
[Also metaphysically flip off Nyarlathotep, wherever he is.]

I see. Have you thought up any? [Since April is just trying to brainstorm some up now.]
