The Perk, Thursday Morning

If there was any madness afoot, it had blissfully flown right over Lucifer's head, as per usual. He had been enjoying his week, and he was planning to continue enjoying his week by wandering down to the Perk and inspiring the baristas into their best Extreme Shake work.

"I think you may have outdone yourself," he said, looking at the massive tower of strawberry before him.

He whipped out his phone. "I am putting this all over Insta," he promised, "And if you let me film you making the next one, TikTok."

He'd figure out how to take the thing with him to his seat in a minute. Social media were calling!

"Well, by all means. Live your best life, sir."

Eliot eyed the man's suit again, with clear appreciation. He himself was still wearing his royal Fillorian garb, freshened this morning with a few handy little spells, though his crown was still tucked away safely. Maybe he'd ask about the man's tailor. But first:

"I don't suppose they put as much art into their lattes as their . . . whatever that is?"
existencemisspent: (no crown - fabulous)

"I suppose I've faced worse odds," Eliot said, then strode to the counter to place his order. A quick look around the shop confirmed that this guy was the interesting looking person to talk to, so while he waited for the baristas to determine his fate, he turned to cock his head at the man again. "I'm Eliot. And yes, I am new here."
existencemisspent: (king shit)

Eliot noted the flask with a raised eyebrow and tiny smirk. This guy was definitely some sort of kindred spirit.

"I've been informed that there's whimsy," he said. "That may or may not reach a lethal level. Also something something time travel, I didn't really try for details on that one. It always just gives me a headache."
existencemisspent: (I'm miserable)

Eliot shuddered theatrically. Mostly to cover the amount of shuddering he was doing untheatrically. "Well now. That's just cruel."
existencemisspent: (I absolutely love it)

[personal profile] existencemisspent 2021-09-02 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Truly, this man was a kindred spirit.

"See, and if my actual teenagerhood had ended that way. . . . At least anywhere but on the internet. . . ."

He shook his head.

"I didn't catch your name?"
existencemisspent: (no crown - hiding behind hair)

"Ah. But the bartender was absolutely lovely. If a touch inexperienced."

Eliot tilted his head. "Quick question, though: is the name a coincidence, a self-chosen thing, or are you actually, like . . . Satan?"

He did not seem too terribly dismayed by the possibility that he was talking to the Devil, no.
existencemisspent: (signature cocktail)

[personal profile] existencemisspent 2021-09-02 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Eliot nodded. So long as said career change didn't involve turning people into rats or destroying a whole world, who was he to judge?

"I was, yes. She tried to pass of 'beer' as a signature cocktail at first, but eventually mixed up a couple perfectly passable jack roses."
existencemisspent: (have a drink)

[personal profile] existencemisspent 2021-09-02 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
The baristas had Eliot’s drink ready, so he turned to accept it and, with a small, approving nod, drop a tip into their tip jar. Then turned back to Lucifer.

“Well, she’s lovely. But yes, please do. She could do with a bit of flair.”
existencemisspent: (monstrous)

"They added a lovely little crown," Eliot said, holding the mug out to show him. It didn't look anything like his crown, but at least they'd picked up on his nobility. He lifted it and took a sip, closing his eyes with a little sigh. "Excellent. I suppose this little faux-French burb passes muster."
existencemisspent: (what did you do?)

[personal profile] existencemisspent 2021-09-02 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ew." Eliot wrinkled his nose. "Why?"
existencemisspent: (brideshead)

[personal profile] existencemisspent 2021-09-02 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Eliot nodded slowly. ". . . Is he particularly well-hung, or. . . ?"

You may want to specify you meant for dining, there, Lucifer.
existencemisspent: (I absolutely love it)

"Oh, his restaurant." Eliot nodded. "Good to know. Margo and I aren't likely to do much cooking for ourselves."

The place they were currently crashing had a fridge, a microwave, and a hot plate, but not much else. Also, they were far more interested in mixology than actual cooking.
existencemisspent: (did that really happen?)

"Well, I suppose there's no accounting for taste," Eliot said, like he wasn't secretly nursing a crush on a tiny floppy haired man who got dressed by rolling through a pile of denim and hoodies. "His name is really Duke? He's not an anthropomorphic talking dog, is he?"
