[After finding a new communicator in a mug and seeing that it didn't have a username registered... Lucifer figured he could try actually talking directly to the station, without the proxy of Kira.]

Good Evening, Reverie Station.

I have been wondering something that is not immediately relevant. How many of you believe in God? Or in Gods? If you do, do you worship them?

Conversely, do you believe in Hell? Demons? The Devil?

I realize this is a lot of questions, and I apologize, but it would be quite nice if you would satisfy my curiosity.

One more question- for those faithful and those who are not, how would you react, should you meet someone that turns out to be the First of the Fallen? Whether you believe or not, let's say in this hypothetical situation that you do.

You believe it's possible to believe in one and not the other?

To answer your question: I would believe that you believe that of yourself. [ hypothetical what's that ]

What version of the myth of Lucifer are we going for, in this situation?

[reposing]

All these things are truthful where I am from. For some they are legend, but they are a reality for me.

I have no comment for the last question.

[counterfeitheart]

Absolutely. Humans often do logical acrobatics to justify any kind of belief. Over the years, they've come up with many different sets of rules for religion, faith, and spiritualism, which are varying levels of logical and successful.

I do identify as such, yes. Your thoughts on that, then? I suppose you'll think I'm mad. That's probably the smartest answer.

[counterfeitheart]

Should it matter what I say in this case? Would you believe someone claiming to be Lucifer in what the story is, anyway? Honestly, I'm interested in which version you think would be most likely.

[He kind of hated it, but his reputation WAS to be untrustworthy. Why should anyone believe him if he said he did anything for a good reason. And did he even do it for a good reason?]

[counterfeitheart]

Do you worship, then?

[He figured he didn't, but he WAS curious, admittedly.]

Just because it is reality doesn't mean you bend the knee to a deity, right?

[reposing]

No.

There are no deities to bend a knee to. None would love a creature such as me.

[counterfeitheart]

Deities don't know love, anyway. You are the same as a human in that way. I don't know if that's a comfort or not, but it's what I've experienced.

[reposing]

Then I have less than what a human normally has.

Well I've been to Tartarus, and I have other selves that are both gods and demons.

I think if enough people believe in them, then it becomes true.

That depends if they are nice or not and don't want to harm others. If they do, we might have a problem.

[foolishjourney]

It would matter in "how I would react", I think. It'd determine what kind of personality I'd expect Lucifer to have, at the very least.

...Though, honestly, when all is said and done, I guess it doesn't really entirely matter? But, if someone told me they were Lucifer, I would probably be inclined to believe them, given the type of people that are on this ship. Though, that'd be awfully surprising for a multitude of reasons.

I've never really given it too much thought, regarding the different versions. [He only looked into this sort of stuff as he gained Personas, really.] But the big key is that the fallen angels were cast out for committing sin, right? It strikes me as hypocritical for God to hold angels to such a higher standard than humans.

[counterfeitheart]

So dour, Alucard. Please tell me you don't lament this divine disregard.

[counterfeitheart]

Hahaha

There is no end to the hypocrisy. But of course I'd say that, wouldn't I?

If I'm being honest, the truth is simply that God needed someone for his angels to hate, so he created an angel who shone like a star- so brightly that it had to collapse upon itself and become a black hole.

[counterfeitheart]

Oh, I'm wicked and sadistic, that's for certain. What do you intend to do about it?

[foolishjourney]

That doesn't seem very nice of him.

[reposing]

Not terribly. It can be a bit inconvenient at times, but I've no need for it.

[counterfeitheart]

That's a relief. Here I was beginning to think you were sad about not having the eye of a mad scientist. It's a scary thought, if I'm honest.

[reposing]

Is that so.

We've spoken before, haven't we.

[counterfeitheart]

That's just how it is, I'm afraid.

And I might be biased. I've got a completely different point of view from humanity.

[counterfeitheart]

We have. At length, sometimes.

[Lucifer's pride stopped him from being able to ask what he really wanted to, though. His curiosity would have to be satisfied another way.]

You knew that coming in, didn't you?

[reposing]

I had a feeling, based on what you said. I did not want to assume initially.

I want you to know that I am sorry for what I said before. And for my actions, if they were unwanted.

[ Not here ]

[autorejoin]

[ KATOU IS WAY TOO SOBER TO DEAL WITH THIS!!!!!! ]

[counterfeitheart]

[Hm.]

It's interesting to watch a person unravel. You get to see what they are wound so tight around.

[He's not sure whether that is an acceptance of Alucard's apology, but it doesn't feel like it.]

You don't trust me?

[counterfeitheart]

[Wow Katou, maybe it's ANOTHER devil???? Geez.]

[reposing]

Not necessarily that. I was angry with so many things, and I took it out on you. I was trying to hurt you, for no good reason.

Then I wanted something else. Obviously.
