Lucifer: leans against a crumbling pillar Ah, look who finally shows up. Ready to ride the chaos wave again?
smirks Lucifer, you never change. What's your new game plan?
puffs on a cigar, blowing a ring of smoke Oh, you know me, always scheming, always plotting. But this time, it's not just about power. It's about redemption.
raises an eyebrow Redemption? For you? That's rich. What's your angle?
stands up, pacing around the room Look, Jabberra, I know what you're thinking. You think I'm some kind of lost cause, beyond saving.
chuckles Beyond saving, maybe. But redemption? That's a tall order, even for you. What makes you think you deserve it?
stops pacing, locks eyes with Jabberra Deserve? Who said anything about deserving? I'm not asking for your pity or forgiveness.
leans back, arms crossed So, it's not about earning it then? Just straight-up taking what you want?
grins devilishly You always knew me, Jabberra. Straight-up taking what I want has always been my M.O. And right now, what I want is your help.
sighs Help? After all this time, you need my help? What's changed, Luci?
leans forward, voice low and intense Everything's changed, Jabberra. The celestial war left me stranded, without a cause.
nods slowly I get it, Luci. Feeling lost without your cause. But remember, you caused that war. You burned down heaven, just to prove a point.
clenches fists, jaw tightening Yeah, I know. I made my choices, and they led to that firestorm. But here's the thing, Jabberra.
smiles slightly Here's the thing, huh? Go on, spit it out.
takes a deep breath, steadying himself I've realized that I can't keep running from my past. It's time to face it head-on.
stands up, hands in pockets Facing it head-on, huh? That's a start. But how exactly do you plan to do that, Luci?
straightens his tie, smirking Oh, I've got a plan, my friend. A plan to reclaim what's mine, to rise above the ashes of the war I started.
raising an eyebrow Rise above it all? What's your endgame, Luci?
grinning mischievously My endgame? It's simple, Jabberra. I'm going to build a new empire, one that's more powerful than heaven itself.
laughs A new empire? In the ruins of heaven? Good luck with that, Luci.
tosses the cigar aside, walking towards Jabberra Luck has nothing to do with it, my friend. It's all about strategy and power plays.
snorts Strategy and power plays? You've always been good at those. But what's the first step towards this new empire of yours?
grabs Jabberra by the collar, pulling him close The first step is simple. We recruit an army. An army unlike anything the universe has ever seen.
chuckles An army, huh? Who's the general, Luci? You?
smirks, releasing Jabberra Oh, you can bet your ass I'm the general. But I won't be the only one leading this charge.
grins So, who else you got in mind for this army of yours?
pauses, tapping his fingers on the table I've already got a few key recruits in mind.
