yogen | *lydia beetlejuice voice* Gay Dads,

[Yeah, we totally didn't all die for the summer, there have definitely been other hot dad dates that have happened... don't ask me how Clamor still has doubts he's just like this.]

Haha, well, I wouldn't want to impose if you had other plans that day... but since you're so eager, sure! It'll have to be a date.

[like

not necessarily a DATE-date but he's just gonna let those words out and hope for the best, and if anyone acts weird about it oops! definitely a joke haha, weird that you'd read into it like that]

A bed would be nice... honestly, I can't see the dorms being much worse than our current situation. [when the school is already this cursed, does it really matter if the dorms are haunted? it's a lateral move at worst.] We'll have to scope the place out as soon as possible. I'd say we should keep the kids in the school for the first few days just to be safe, but. [... what are the chances they could wrangle all the kids into agreeing to that? When the dorms might have beds?? He sighs instead of finishing his thought.]

I don't think I can help any- what little oddities I do have are still missing. ( .... did he forget to mention those? oh well. you learn new things every day, as they say. ) But the two of you... alongside the kids who can see what others can. The bunch of you working together could do it.

But I do look forward to a change of scenery, and your company. ... And better utilities, honestly.

( everyone is doing their best but they're all going to wrack up the water bill so hard in week one alone-- )

... But yes. Dates sound lovely.

( and he even! smiles! )

[No, no, fuck the damn dorms. Fuck the damn dorms, who cares about beds? Fuck them kids, too. Right now is not the time to discuss if they Will or Will Not be obtaining mattresses or private rooms or actual showers so that he can stop bathing in a sink. No, hello, what was that? Date?]

A date? We ought to make it multiple, don't you think?

[He reclines casually in his seat, legs crossed. Poised, as Lucifer always is.]

There are rather lovely locales in the Devildom I'd be keen on taking you both to, once we get out of here. I surely would be the envy of my peers with you two on either arm, don't you think?

[Sighs, that rare Sidney smile though... hello, serotonin for Lucifer, thank you.]

[better utilities................. here's hoping there isn't a dead body in this building's water tank, haha.

but anyway, there's no time to fantasize about working showers when Sidney is making that delightful little smile and Lucifer is going straight into bragging about his home, and Clamor's ears might've already perked straight up at this particular topic because hello?? that's a transparent answer, isn't it? Sidney's down for dates, Lucifer wants them each on an arm...

... unless maybe demons are just like that? He... could still be reading into it. He doesn't know much about demon culture besides what he knows about Lucifer, after all, and Lucifer is certainly the type to brag about anything and everything. So it's really not that strange for him to want to flaunt the two of them if they had a chance to visit... he's not reading too much into this, is he?]

Well! Maybe we shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves... but I wouldn't mind seeing the Devildom someday. It sounds like a nice place. [??? it's literally hell but hey, not like he's ever been to Elrios' demon realm either] Unfortunately, most of the places I'd recommend in Elrianode are ruins now. A guided tour of historical sights isn't exactly— ah.

[romantic. not romantic. well, except maybe to history nerds...

he's just going to pretend he couldn't think of a word and eat some pasta]

( it's hard to not laugh, with lucifer leaning into the idea immediately and clamor perking up like an adorable puppy almost- in fact, sidney actually does chuckle, half-hidden behind his hand. )

Both sound fascinating, honestly. I almost feel like anything I can offer in my little city would be boring in comparison.

( he had to move out of new orleans after everything was said and done. sometimes he's not sure he can even stand being in the united states entirely. but there were some things he did like about his new home- like the mountains. )

Historical sites are rather fun to visit.

[Clamor, please, your nerd date idea is perfect.]

There are a number of them back home — ruins left behind from wars with the Celestial Realm long past, the Demon Lord's Castle, [Barbatos' bedroom with all its doors into various timelines which he doesn't let anyone go into because ??] the Reaper's cave... though, the latter wasn't so fun to visit the last time I went.

[Mostly because Solomon was there?

Oh by the Demon King if he shows up with these two on either arm, not only is he going to have to answer his brothers' questions (and chase Asmo off with a broom) but he's going to have to deal with the Purgatory Hall residents teasing him oh you know what nevermind let's go to New Orleans—]

It's been quite a while since I've been to the human world for a vacation. I normally only depart for business trips and quickly return home [before Mammon burns the house down], so, Sidney, if you'd be willing to take both of us... I'm sure there's something exciting to visit. Even if it may not be the ruins of a city or a warzone.

[—okay hold up, getting distracted from his mission to try and get one of them to say if they're all dating-dating or not because now he's thinking about historical tours, his weakness]

I wasn't that much into history before, but it's so much more fascinating once you've seen the before and after. So much can change in a few hundred years! Anyway, I'm sure your city has tons of sights, so I'd love to see it if we can! It's not like something has to be so-old-its-ruins-now to have a story to tell.

Lucifer, have you been there before? Or, ah, maybe it's a world that's like Sidney's...? I guess I wouldn't know if it's the same one. It has similar history to what they have in this world too, right? [compared to Elrios which is.... pretty different from a late-90's Earth]

Mmm... There might be some things of interest.

( ugh these three ARE fucking history nerds i hate them- sidney thinks for a moment, before shrugging just a bit. )

I've seen some similarities between my home and here- although we aren't in the same country- but I'm actually from a few years ahead. If there's any major differences from this place and my real home, I haven't caught wind of it yet. That said, I'd like to believe this school is a major abnormality...

( but, given the manor... can he really be so sure? )

Both my home town and my new city have it's charms- and I'm very familiar with the first's history. It was a wild city, still is. I'm not sure if I'll stay away from it for too long.

[Lucifer is an old, old man. He's visited 1920's New Orleans and he's visited 1990's Japan and he's visited 2021 London, he's seen the Black Death, he watched H.H. Holmes' murder castle be created and to be honest at the time he thought it was fucking hilarious. Ah, the bygone days of watching an 1800s serial killer commit insurance fraud and also kill people... Sigh. Not the point, though.]

The Devildom and the human world are distinctly similar, yes. The only difference really is that the Devildom is slightly technologically behind the human world [they don't have roombas] and is inhabited by more magic users, as well as being in a perpetual state of nighttime. Aside from that, demons do the same things they would if they were mortal — we have restaurants, clubs, bars, the internet, video games... the lot.

Angels were the same way, though... when I was an angel, before I Fell, I somehow had less leisure time than I do when I'm helping run an entire university and babysitting a prince and six siblings...

[God likes to overwork His servants.]

This world, from what I can tell, is likely somewhere within the human world, or some alternate version of it. Interdimensional travel, as you yourself has demonstrated, [smiles at Clamor,] is quite possible. And, if I'm recalling correctly, the year in which Sidney originally lived is roughly one hundred years before the year in which I resided in before my arrival here.

[Parallel universes baybee.]
