"They are truly wretched, aren't they? These aren't even the ones that make noise, either," Alastor chuckled, nay, giggled in devious delight. The fact that Lucifer was encouraging the mischief made it even better.
"Oh, precisely, the discrepancy in heights, how distracted or tired they are... where do their eyes land... having too many would be too overwhelming, too purposeful, but one or two? Oh, that would have the strongest impact."
I'm sorry, noise? Noise? Some of these terrible things make noise??
"Of course, got to hit a couple that'll give you the best responses. Can't spread too thin." And now he had to change up how he checks the fridge. Who knows if he was being watched?
"Charlie would make for a good reaction- she never goes halfway in responding to surprises- but that's no mystery. ...What about the bartender...?"
"Husk has seen my collection in full by now, alas, but it is funny how much it annoys him," Alastor chuckles. "Niffty finds them as completely delightful as I do. So I believe that leaves Charlie, Vaggie and Angel as our test targets."
"That we do," Alastor chuckled. And with a glance at the hour, Alastor's smile broadened and he pat Lucifer's head again. "Now. Settled down enough to get some rest? We've got a busy morning tomorrow morning."
The blanket lifting, reacquainting him with the ambient temperature in the room, was enough of a little dash of cool water to get him up. He had a Big Stretch and moved to shift off the couch. Alright. Alright, short walk, that can be done.
"Oh, I think I'll be alright. ...But don't you wind up staying up all night, you hear me?"
"Not to worry, I haven't anything to work on for the evening, I'll be properly rested. Enjoy your rest, Lucifer," Alastor bade farewell, melting into shadows.
Huh. One of the few times he used Lucifer's name properly.
"Goodnight, Alastor." Golly, he didn't know how much of these shadows were him, but it would be safe to assume- with ears like those- he could hear him.
He smiled briefly, and as the power built in a wave of golden light, it swirled up to vanish him to his destination. "...And thank you."

"Oho~ Then we have an accord, Bambi. You've got to fill me in if I ever miss them." He'll just rest his eyes a bit.
This... this was nice.

"Busy, busy, busy... busy as bees, in a pod..." Nope, that didn't make sense, but it was what-the-hell-o-clock.
