The pictures were so wonderful. The songs? Always a hit. He found himself doing his own stretches and workouts to her music. Why not? It got you pumped, brought out the good vibes! ~~Sometimes Satan's music was a little TOO intense, you know?~~

Be there in 20! It's been too long, we need to go full COBBLER, Bee!

Sure, he could shift Rings immediately, but he needed to get out of his stuffier layers and into something he could move around in. After a dress down and a roll up of his sleeves, he pointedly turned away from one of many portraits of the past hanging on the walls.

He won't let that get to him tonight. Hexagon Ave, here he comes!

With their special guest en route, Bee goes for a wardrobe change - she HAD to get into her cute red plaid mini-skort and slutty unbuttoned button-up with the tube top underneath. And even more importantly, she had to get the cocktail of the night set - she summoned her special reserves of booze, slapping down on the counter for the bartenders the honey and applejack cocktail, making sure there was fresh rosemary to muddle in with it. OOH that would be SO good.

It's not often that Bee skipped her dramatic pre-show entrance, but she was excited to have Lucifer joining for a party all to let loose. She practically hovered near the front, already pregaming the drinking before he showed, excited and giddy for his arrival. It'd definitely be the coolest surprise to everyone here.

He could have aimed for outside the doors, but naaaaw- he'll pop right at the entrance with a swirl of crimson and gold... okay, and maybe a few pops of fireworks for effect.

...And a phantom fanfare from somewhere.

"PARTY TIIIIME!" He crowed, all bravado, because it allowed him to ignore any potential stares that made uncomfortable knots in the belly; stares that preceded questions he didn't feel like answering.

His party attire? He'd just left the coat at home. But he was sporting a very unkempt tie to replace the bow tie, decorated in ducks wearing party hats.

What?

It's casual!!

There's a beat of silence save for the thumping music, but the crowd quickly titters in excitement. "Oh shit, is that the King of Hell??" "Really?? Awesome!" "What's with the ducks--?"

"OHW AWOOOOOOOO!! There he IS!"

Bee squeezed Lucifer in a big hug, swinging them around as she howled and cheered - the crowd immediately joined in to the started howl, almost all of them Hellhounds. The chanting already started up - Luci-fer, Luci-fer, Luci-fer--

"The King's HERE baby, we are gonna have a SINFUL good time! Awooo!!"

You'll never understand the ducks. Just roll with it.

The hug was returned- God, how much did he need something like this right now- and he was dizzy on that and the... chanting? The CHANTING!!

Damn. Bee knew how to pump people up, huh? She'd always been a natural at it.

"Your King arrives with but one decree: ...Have the best damn night of your lives!" It's Gluttony, baby. You don't go halfway.

But amid cheers, he planted his hands on his hips and gave the Queen a once-over. A whistle.

"...Yeah, yep- Remind me to diversify my wardrobe a bit. What do you think, could I rock a skirt?"

"Ooooh, Luci, you could rock a sexy low-cut dress if you wanted, you're gorgeous," Bee insisted, buzzing with delight. She summoned one of the prepared cocktails from the bar, something that should've been served in a dainty glass but was instead in a mason jar, and passed it to him as she smoothed out his coat with her three other hands. Not that it wouldn't get crazy later.

"Whaddya think? I like, always think of red plaid when I think of apples, I think it's the whole picnic vibe-- and then plaid makes me think 'boarding school' but you couldn't catch me wearing a button-up normally dead," she excitedly giggled, twirling around to twirl her skort.

"Oh! And the song part is starting in ten-- do you wanna duet, or do you wanna just chill and enjoy, baby?"

Edited (caught a redundant word) 2024-05-07 13:06 (UTC)

Gorgeous? Noooo... alright, maybe a little.

He accepted the drink, but was distracted from enjoying. There were a number of advantages to having multiple limbs like she had. But it was always the way she touched, something so light but something so warm and welcoming.

It was something he could really use right now.

"Bee, I think you take the cake no matter what you wear. Hold on, let me coordinate!"

He took a drink now- ooh. Was that applejack? Hot damn- before he gave made a show of snapping his fingers. With a shower of gold and a chime, he'd taken on more of a deep red tone in hems and lines, and loosened his tie over a freshly-manifested red plaid pullover and rolled up undershirt sleeves.

"There. Matching! Now we have to duet!!"

Edited 2024-05-07 16:48 (UTC)

"Perfect!! Beautiful!! You look SO sexy," Bee cheered openly, wiggling in delight. A duet would be perfect!!

"Heheheh. Alright. The people are still begging for more Cotton Candy, what else you wanna drop in? Pick something to belt out, you got the prettiest voice when you project!"

The compliment earns Bee a brief and coquettish pose from the King.

He brought a hand to his chin as he thought. Cotton Candy? He heard it on the radio once or twice. He had to hear it live sometime.

"How about some 'Feeling Good'? I think I could use that about now!"

Even if, right now, the lyrics could be a lie. But boy, could he hit those notes and sustain!

"Ooh! I love it! I'll mix in We R Who We R, really add to the party vibe! Tonight's about riding that party high! Woo!"

Lucifer not caring about joining in the jovial, playful, girly-pop energy was why he was her favorite. Get you a man that can do all of it.

"Candy apples are a little sticky, hmmm... what's a good thing to pass out for the concert part?"

He blinked, paused. "Wait... got a better one. It'll add better to the vibe, I promise. The skirt's inspired me!"

Cyndi Lauper. Because they had to have fun, no matter what others thought, right?

Let's see, snacks, snacks... "Apple buns! They're like cinnamon rolls but apple-cinnamon forward. Let's go full picnic!"

OOH! "That sounds SO good! Something liiiiike... this?"

A little snap, a pop in her palm, and viola! A bun with some cute apple chunks and pink sugar crystals - for a cute bit of color and texture, of course!

"Yeah? Take a bite! Tell me what you think! More cinnamon? More butter?"

He took the bun and gave it a bite. As always, Bee knew exactly how to make something sinfully good! She knew her acid-fat-salt balance.

The King offered a thumbs up and couldn't respond, because he was busy chowing on the rest of the test bun.

Once he could-

"By golly! How long's it been since I've had a Queen Bee snack!? My poor taste buds forgot what they were like!"

"So fuckin' good, right? There's no point if you're not excited to keep eating more!" Bee giggled, making one for herself and chomping on it. The rest will get made for the performance itself.

"So after a few songs, it's free mingle! I didn't get into Bel's stash BUT I diiiiid get some good mild treats going for later in the night to wind down. It'll be a fun as fuck night!"

If you stopped after one or even ten, that's not gluttony, now was it?

But Lucifer folded his arms with the mention of 'mild treats'. "You know I'm up for those, too. I just hope my tolerance hadn't lowered in the years since my last party..."

He chuckled and shrugged. "And hey- you need me to talk to Belphegor? I know she's pretty protective of her goodies, but I'm sure she can make some exceptions...! I mean, she can't always be a hardass, right?"

"Hmm..." Bee paused, giving it a serious mulling over. "...Naaah. I think I like the challenge and being a jackass. And she needs to stay on her toes or she'll get lazy."

"You'll probably get high as fuuuuck, so you can crash with me tonight."

"HAHAH! Yeah, I'll- I'll probably get a little fucked up. I've just- it's been- I've..."

He paused. Brightened.

"Wait. Sleepover?? Really??"

"Fuck yeaaah, bitch! That way there's no wondering about getting home! Just crash with the Queen and you'll get complimentary breakfast!"

The music shifted to a steady beat, the cue to get the concert ready - hounds and imps were starting to shuffle, wrapping up conversations and excitedly getting ready to go to the center area. Bee may be mingling early, but they all know well and good where the real fireworks are going to begin.

Happily, she took Lucifer's hands, tugging him along. "Alright, it's showtime!! Let's fuck it UP with the songs and then get WASTED! Woo!"

Overjoyed, the King had to have himself a(n admittedly kind of dorky) fist pump. "I'll bring the bourbon maple syrup!"

The beauty of creation magic fueled by imagination. He could taste it now! But that could wait. As the music kicked into gear, Lucifer absently straightened up and- oop- was grabbed and tugged with a delighted laugh.

"Right behind you!"

It's a fantastic way to start a night - singing their hearts out with fun, playful songs, enjoying the cheers of the crowd and tossing sweets and treats their way for fun, nothing but smiles and hoots and hollering. Sure, there was gossip, there was always gossip - but with the roar of people singing along, who cared?

Once their performance wrapped, it was time to mingle! Bee kept an arm looped around Lucifer in a one-armed hug, thriving off of the high energy making her giddy. And? It was nice to spend time with Luci, after so long.

"Luci, baby, whaddya wanna do next? A kegstand? Eating contest? Drinking game?"

One high mark of having wings was being able to keep up in a duet with a similarly-endowed partner. Hoops? No problem. Lucifer could tuck in well enough to sail through and join in on the Queen's game.

There was always something in the air when it came to a hive dive party, something infectious, and it made his heart sing with something he hadn't felt in so damn long. Sure, he was partying, sure, he was going to put so much into his body and put it through the ringer, but why fret the morning after when it was so far away? So tonight, he even slipped in another song: A steamy little 'Circus' to heat things up, enough that he was glad for his short sleeves and brief dismissal of his hat, a fine sheen of sweat glistening by the time all was said and done.

Yet he laughed, looking properly ruffled from dancing, and you bet your bottom dollar he took any opportunity to belt. It'd been so long since the King had publicly performed. Old guard demons would hear the familiarity. The youths would be filled in on just how much of a treat this was.

"Oh, you said the magic word- 'Game'! Give me your worst!"

It was a treat to hear Lucifer sing like that again - something so rare, something none of these pups at the party could really know to appreciate. Really it was no surprise at all that he'd kept up so well - there was a wild, free spirit in there that was always begging to come out. It just needed a little encouragement.

As they wound down, Bee summoned and passed Lucifer a water bottle - always handy for prolonging the party and helping your body go the extra distance. Especially since he'd worked up such a sweat!

"Alright! Your pick: we break out the comically large jenga tower, or we start a circle and play Never Have I Ever. I love that last one 'cause old-heads like you and me get fucked up, hah!"

He accepted the bottle and had a drink. Yeah, he really needed that!

"Oh you know I'd love a classic Never Have I Ever! Give the youngbloods a little fighting chance, eh?"

"Alright! One extra-cushy pillow den coming up!" Bee cheered, stepping over to one of the seating areas and summoning heaps of fresh new pillows to rain down on the floor. From the tags, looks like she pilfered them from somewhere in Sloth - probably specifically to cause a little mischief with Belphegor. She couldn't resist.

"Alright babes!! Grab a pillow and some drinks, we're doing good ol' Never Have I Ever with Lucifer tonight! Try and get us, you cute pups! You c'mere and sit right next to me, Luci, baby!"

Many Sins had a very authoritative presence, and there was always the sense of hesitation with most Hellborn... but Bee was masterful at getting everyone boozed up, relaxed, having fun - and accepting not only herself, but the King of Hell himself, as just another party-goer. It was important for the atmosphere!

Maybe if Bel would stop having such comfortable pillows, they wouldn't be ripe for the poaching! She should have a think about that.

He hopped on over to pick a seat, chuckled and made a come-hither gesture with a finger. Come, come, gather 'round!

"I'm sure you've all done something I haven't! Such is the beauty of youth! Come and get me!!"
