I walk with the demon by my side. The devil himself.
Lucifer: So.
Me: So?
Lucifer: How's it working for you?
Me: Unleashing you was a good idea.
L: Yeah, none of that empathy crap, huh?
Me: No. I still have empathy.
L: Be careful. Martian Man-
Me: yeah, I know what happened to Martian Manhunter. In Kingdom Come. He opened himself to the thoughts of the world and it shattered him. I'm no superhero. I have empathy, not telepathy.
L: It's still a cancer in you.
Me: Without empathy, I will be a psychopath.
L: If you say so. Talking to yourself is also crazy, you know?
Me: Yeah, why am I doing this anyway? I should put you away.
L: Na-ah. I'm the only one of your incarnations smart enough to understand what you're talking about.
Me: Y...eaaaah.
L: So, what's next?
Me: Well, I'm gonna take a shower and then prepare to go out. Already finished my work for today. It's time to go and have fun.
L: Fun? Really? Are we going to plant seeds of destruction and watch people die?
Me: No. Just normal fun.
L: Ah. That. Again?
Me: It's cheap and harmless.
L: If you say so.
Me: You believe it is not harmless?
L: Amir, everything you do always have repercussions. Bad ones.
Me: Ah, but that's a delusion. I am not the center of the universe. I am not the primum mobile, the Prime Mover. I am not responsible for the destruction of the universe. Natural entropy will take care of that.
L: If you say so...
Me: Anyway, thanks.
L: For what?
Me: For being there for me when no one else would. You're a real pal, Lucifer.
L: ...
Me: Hahahahahaha!
L: If you say that again, I'm going to kill you!
Me: No you will not.
L: Why not?
Me: Because I'm not suicidal.
L: Okay, since this is you and you talking, I guess that's true.
Me: Just relax and enjoy the show, Lou. This will be fun. The enjoyment of doing nothing for a few hours.
L: If you say so...
