this is me reading into it

why?

[quaerit]

Do you believe he could be a man?

A real one, walking and talking and interacting. Not looking particularly Satanic, if you see what I mean.

[greywaren]

i dont see what you mean

again: why?

[quaerit]

I met a man called Lucifer Morningstar.

That's why.

[greywaren]

[Well. That's something.]

sounds like an asshole.

you said he looked like a normal guy?

[quaerit]

[ 'Sounds like an asshole', Jesus, Ronan. Gansey's barely said anything about him yet. ]

Well. Tall, good-looking. Definitely lacking anything resembling a goatee and horns. He was friendly, too.

Could be nothing, I know. Except he said those names were his titles, and this place is...well, this place.

[greywaren]

[If he said his name is Lucifer, then he definitely sounds like an asshole.]

could be a shitlord trying to sound badass. did he say anything else about it?

[quaerit]

No. Though in fairness, I didn't ask. I couldn't work out how to shoehorn 'are you the actual dark lord of hell' into polite conversation.

He seemed normal enough. Aside from the name. I just want to know if you think it's possible. Do you?

[greywaren]

thats a perfectly polite question

anything's possible. are you asking if i, based on my catholic roots and years of sunday school and experience with the fckn multiverse, think that the christian devil could be walking around here in murdercave?

i hope not. id have to get a good look at him. how did you meet?

[quaerit]

That's exactly what I'm asking, yes. This sort of thing makes me think I should've spent more time at Church.

I was scavenging. He was exploring. I think he came from the arena. He just wanted information about the place, nothing more sinister than that. Nothing that any number of new people wouldn't ask. I would've thought him completely normal, if he hadn't given out a name like that.

[greywaren]

probably someone fucking with you then.

ill check it out

[That's definitely what Gansey wanted out of this conversation, right? To set Ronan on the heels of the devil?]

[quaerit]

[ Well, shit. ]

What does that mean?

You cannot just ask someone if they're the Devil, Lynch.

[greywaren]

Pretty sure I can.

[quaerit]

And you’ll do precisely what, if he says yes?

[greywaren]

i dont fucking know

dream up a rosary? some holy water?

do you not want to know if satan is here turning hellcave into literal hell?

[quaerit]

No, I do. Chiefly I want to know exactly how fucked we all are

But I dont know. He sounds normal one minute and then talks about burning wings and I genuinely can't tell if I'm supposed to take that seriously or if he's messing with my head

Or not right in his own. That's another option. I just think the appearance of the literal Christian Devil might be something to worry about. There's one demon here already after all.

[greywaren]

which is why im going to ask him. at least that way well know if he seriously thinks he is or not

[quaerit]

Oh he definitely thinks he is

It's more whether he actually is that I'm worried about.

[greywaren]

obviously.

at least we all have front row seats to a devil vs fear showdown

[quaerit]

And we all get to find out what the Devil is afraid of

Never thought I'd have to worry about that.

[greywaren]

prayer and holy water? churches and scripture?

its not really that hard. for being the origin of all evil there's generally pretty much a basic 'call on a higher power and order it to leave' cliche i think

though its not like they teach you how to banish satan in sunday school

[quaerit]

No I don't suppose they thought you'd ever need that in a real life situation

I don't suppose the temples here would even count as churches where he's concerned

[greywaren]

probably not. i dont think i can technically dream up holy water or the word for word bible. as far as i know no priests here to bless anything either

that leaves us with prayer i guess

[quaerit]

I guess

There's a daunting thought. You think we'd be heard, here in the cave of what would probably be considered false gods

I can't believe we're even having this conversation.

[greywaren]

me neither. its fucking weird talking to you about it

were told that god created everything. which means that he probably created these idiots and this place. unless you think these guys are more powerful than him which i dont buy but if they could trap the actual devil here

who can really say?
