[ whaaaaaat ]

Your world doesn't have Christianity, does it.

[jacksonian]

It has it. I'm aware of it culturally. It's not exactly as important there as it is here.

[brushoff]

Lucky your world.

But yes. Though he isn't this world's Satan, I'm certain that Lucifer is some world's Satan—or, at least, styled himself as some world's Satan. He's got the power to back it up.

[jacksonian]

Which makes it pretty irrelevant whether he really is Satan or is just imagining himself to be, I guess. What sort of power does he have?

[brushoff]

As as he's got the name, that's what matters.

As for power...well, he somehow almost brought about the Apocalypse close to a year ago. He had these rings(I think) that did a number on everyone involved, making us see things or warping our personalities to murderous extremes.

[jacksonian]

So could he make you crazy, then? As some sort of revenge?

[brushoff]

I assume so? He's also got no qualms about murdering someone for seemingly no reason which again, wouldn't bother me, but it's no secret that I have a lover.

[jacksonian]

Who's not immortal, I'm guessing.

[brushoff]

Who is immortal but is a tad more killable.

[jacksonian]

Maybe you should stick with Lucifer, then.

[brushoff]

[ but he doesn't want to!!!!! ]

Better the devil you know, as they say?

[jacksonian]

Better not getting murdered, or having the people you love get murdered. If you're in with someone that dangerous then you should probably do what you need to to keep him appeased.

[ being a coward is sounding more and more sensible the way Mark describes it ]

The more you talk, the more sensible you sound.

[jacksonian]

Thanks, I guess. Anyway, staying in with him isn't going to get you killed, right? Or put you in danger? Better to be behind him than in front of him, right?

[brushoff]

It's not going to get me killed right now, at least. Who knows what Lucifer will do in the next few months, he's so damned mercurial.

[jacksonian]

Yeah.

Hey, you don't know anything about Lucifer's relationship to the guy who looks like me, right?

[brushoff]

Which one? The boring scientist guy or Admiral whatshisface?

[jacksonian]

Admiral Whatshisface.

[brushoff]

I don't. Do you want me to find out?

[jacksonian]

[ A pause. ]

Can you?

[brushoff]

I can try.

[jacksonian]

I'd really appreciate that, actually. I feel like Lucifer has some death grudge against Admiral Naismith, and I definitely don't want to be caught up in that. Dying isn't high on my list of desired activities in this world.

[brushoff]

What makes you think that? If I'm going to press Naismith for information, I'd like to know as much as possible.

[jacksonian]

I don't know. It seems like a bad relationship. Apparently something happened on some submarine?

[brushoff]

I know exactly what submarine you're talking about. I'll poke around and find some information. And, as a matter of fact, I know just where to start asking.
