[ It's not really Satan's style to give a damn about who leaves this place, but well. This time it's special, Syhon left. And he is probably the only person who cared about Syhon, but he isn't even ashamed of admitting it.

Satan is naked - OF COURSE as usual goddamn nudist - wings closed behind his back and nearby there is a three-headed dog sleeping, the size of an adult Great Dane. When the video starts, you only see his face, there are no boobs or anything else is showing, at least, but satan honestly can u not ]

So many have left this place of late. I wonder if that makes them fortunate or not, and I wonder how the gods plan on winning a war if they keep sending their canon fodder away.

Anyway, two have left. Shyon and -I guess- Katie, both left since they were stuck in the same body.

It's only fortunate if the people wanted to leave.

[Personally, Satine would rather stay, craziness aside.]

A lot of people want to leave. If everyone who wants to does indeed leave, what sort of army do you think they will have left?

Most wars aren't fought by those who want to be in it. That's the nature of wars.

I have seen many types of wars. [ well, that's because he is Satan, but - ]

But if the gods say it's true, it's of our interest to end this war and win, correct? Or our worlds shall suffer. [ he doesn't sound convinced... or that worried. ]

[Satine hears that tone.]

You don't believe them?

[ well, he does believe them, in a way. Satan just has no interest to help his own world.

It's not like he will ever admit to it, but at the same time- ]

It's a bit difficult to believe such a thing without any concrete proof, isn't it?

[Her eyebrows raise. Proof? She's quite convinced considering everything that's happen in just the few weeks she's been here. But she's glad he can't see her. She schools her voice.]

And what would you consider "proof?"

It's a bit difficult to prove that if this world falls, our own will too, isn't it? I don't think anyone is willing to try it out and see. [ yes, they are. Satan is. ]

But it's also highly paradoxical it does when you are familiar with identities much higher than these gods. [ like Lucifer's Father. God. The God. Yeah, that guy is a lot powerful than these gods here ]

Well, I certainly agree that it's hard to prove, but as I've been brought to live in this place, I certainly don't want that falling apart around me. [Like it has been.] Besides, I believe most everyone here is trying to play it safe. Rather than assume that the gods are lying about the destruction of multiple worlds.

Well, they've said themselves, they never gave themselves the name "gods," merely that that's what people came to call them. If you believe that.

[She isn't that deeply religious.]

Everyone is playing it safe, and sure, I admit so am I. [ no, he isn't. ] But it doesn't mean I believe everything I'm told. Words are easy to use. "You must do this, or your beloved ones will die", certainly you'd do it because the possibility of it being true is still there.

[ Satan sighs softly ]

Weaker people always look up at the stronger ones as if they are untouchable. Kings were Gods before, as well, even though they were but humans.

[Requires that you have loved ones. Though, Satine knew she would certainly miss Harold and Marie. She tilted her head and closed her eyes.] Words can convince you to do quite a few things, even fight in wars...

Plenty of men like to think they're gods even without being kings. [She's met enough of them.]

Still, these gods have a bit more supporting their claims than just pomp and circumstance.

If you use the right words, you can make others do anything you want.

[ she can't see it, but Satan shrugs ] About certain things, they might, yes. But I'm very skeptical about believing all they say.

Isn't that why they insist the pen is mightier than the sword?

You're certainly not alone in your skepticism.

Indeed, that is true.

I'm sure others feel the same. We are in a difficult position, however; to deny it all might be dangerous, to believe it all might also be dangerous.

I'm inclined to believe it myself. I've seen words whip men into a frenzy.

Whether you do or don't believe it, there's danger regardless. How fitting for a war, though not settling for a stomach.

Knowing that your world might be destroyed if you don't help this war, would you want to leave this place still?

Even despite everything, I'm one of the few who want to stay when this is all done.

Your world must not be very kind.

That's life, darling. It doesn't matter where you live. Anyone who says otherwise simply hasn't lived long enough.

[ he is satan. He knows a lot about hard life and living long ]

What a grim look on life.

So what makes this place different than the last?

Grim? No, realistic, certainly.

[No one but her knows who she was or what she was.]

Chances.

Some would argue. [ Satan doesn't care. ]

Chances for what?

I'm sure they would. That's what people like to do.

New opportunities. [Yes, she's being incredibly vague, but she's allowed to.]

Can you blame them? Some people were born and raised thinking they could own the world.

[ and since she is being vague, satan won't pressure ]

Born to believe they could own the world? My, what an upbringing they must have had. But really, I'm not all that surprised. [Satine keeps her tone light and easy, neither condemning such an upbringing or praising it. She knows better than to remark on such things with disdain or praise.]

Tell me, dear, have you had such an upbringing?

No, it's not.

And I didn't have an "upbringing". [ he is satan. he was created as it is, and was told to go fight for heaven, that's basically it ]

And how did that happen?

It works differently with us. We aren't beings that are born and grow, not the way humans are.

"Us?" And what are you?

Angels, if you are familiar with the religious lore.

I am.

[And how she was certainly not the religious sort. Too many sins to count, so she just stopped caring.]

And you're an angel.

[ when he first arrived, Satan enjoyed messing with people. Watch their reaction. talk to them and tell them "by the way, i'm the devil". keep the conversation going without revealing his name yet.

But not lately. With the war and everything that has been happening, with the things he has been doing of late, not anymore ]

Yes.

I'm Lucifer.

[She's silent when she hears his name. She's not scared, only surprised. She didn't believe in the devil, she barely believed in God. Still, to meet Lucifer was no small thing.]

And are you as awful so many claim you to be?

It's a bit difficult to say "yes" or "no" when the standards for "awful" vary from person to person.

But, I don't want anyone's soul, I have no desire to send you all to hell and I was not kicked out of Heaven because I refused to bow down to humans.

So then what do you want?

[ . . . ]

To be left alone. Peace and quiet for myself, that's what I want.

[Doesn't sound much like some grand evil.]

So why vilify you, if that's it? [Because she knows he has to be hiding something. You don't cast out of heaven simply because you don't want to listen to the flapping of wings anymore.]

I disobeyed God and that was my punishment. I'm the example of what you shouldn't do or be. By making me the villain, more people will want to be the opposite of me, in order to be "good".

Thus, praising, worshiping and believing in God,
