Daddy Dearest (Lucifer)

[LILITH]

It had been a long few weeks, she had been on the run from Sam and Dean, those two were becoming a real pain in the ass. She had sent many demons after them, but no one can seem to get rid of them. She had a huge target on her head, and it was getting old. But she was still up to her old tricks of course, it had been a couple days since she had some fun however. She had spent some time away from humans, she got bored with them. Course she was always causing some kind of trouble, missing babies for one. No one found them, Lilith was to careful to leave any evidence. But Lilith knew she had to be careful as well, she couldn't get caught with her pants down, so to speak.

It had been a while since she talked with her Father, she had wondered what he was up to. So she sent word she wanted to see him, she was in a little town in Michigan. She was actually laying low, living in the house that belonged to her host. She was out on the porch just relaxing a little bit, her gray eyes scanned the scenery and knew it was going to rain, she always liked it when storms came. Matched the kind of person she was, she was sitting back in a chair and thinking of the Winchesters. Wondering what they were doing, what they were up to. But she felt something, and turned her head a smile on her face.

[LUCIFER]

The time is coming

Lucifer was still trapped within the depths of his personal pit, but that didn't mean he didn't keep in touch with his creations. He was becoming restless and with every fiber in his being he could feel that his time was coming. He had never been a patient soul and he was itching to get out. While he paced in his cage he had caught word that his first born was trying to contact him. It would be a lie if he said that he wasn't pleased. If only he could get out to talk to her in person.

Sadly that wasn't so. It pained him that he could not be there. So, in his place he sent a messenger. He hated using a third party but the end justified the means. Three young women walked down the road. Each one wearing a habit. All the nuns were being possessed by various demons. The leader of the trio carried a particular knife for the task that was at hand. It was much easier to find Lilith if you knew what to look for, and Lucifer certainly knew his first creation quite well.

As the women approached the house Lilith was using they gave a small smile to their sister. The leader grinned at Lilith.
"Hello, sister. These humans will be useful to contact Father. You know what to do," the lady said with a grin. She extended her hands, offering the wicked blade to Lilith. "It would be best to do this inside, though" the second one chimed in.
We will leave these vessels once you are ready to begin. We can't have them being tainted.

In his pit, the Devil waited, as patiently as he could.

Somebody let me out

[/right]

[LILITH]

Lilith stood as the three women came to her, when she was offered the knife she nodded. "Thank you sisters" she showed them inside and shut the door behind them. There was power in creation, she knew that all to well. She knelt down onto the floor and removed a rug that had a big symbol on the floor, the ritual would take a lot of power. Since she is the only one that can reach him in the way she could. She had the three women kneel in the center of the circle, the knife in her hand as she circled them. Taking the knife she nodded for them to leave the vessels and she cut them in a way where there blood would run in the circle, and would run slow.

The cuts she made would paralyze the nuns so they wouldn't be able to move. She walked over to the wall and there is a groove in the floor, the nuns blood fill the grove and it goes to the wall, and it starts to glow a dark black glow. Taking the dagger that still had the nuns blood on the blade, she slit her hand on the palm. And pressed it against the wall, she knew Lucifer would be able to see the door she was creating, since she had done this once before. Her voice turning into echos as it would fill the pit.

"Blood for Blood I summon the ancient power, take me to my fathers domain. I command It!" She spoke and the wall vanished creating a door and she stepped through the gate. And soon she stood before the pit, her eyes white as she saw the cage her father was in. A fire surrounded the cage, some demons would fear going near but she didn't fear it. She walked through the fire to reach her father, her eyes went from white to gray. She stood before him and bowed her head, she always had respect for him, she placed her hand on his.

"Hello Father..."

[LUCIFER]

I'm inside, looking outside

[/color]

He waited and shifted in the pit. There were some changes that would have to be made. Over the years he had been watching the various vessels he could reside upon. There was one, a man named Nick, who was the strongest of all those that he had seen. Considering that his true form could still destroy his creations he had to mask his form, even in the Pit. So with a few minor changes he adjusted his appearance to look like his future vessel.

As he waited he sat in a lush chair. Sure, he was trapped in Hell, but there wasn't a reason that he couldn't be comfortable. His eyes were shut in deep thought as he felt a presence reach the edges of his containment. His eyelids lifted as the visage of Lilith's vessel came into view. He slowly stood up from his chair and opened his arms in greeting.
"Lilith," he said softly with a smile as she held onto his hand. He patted her own and instructed her to rise with the twitch of a few fingers.

Lucifer couldn't help but smile. Visitors were always a pleasant sight, even if they brought bad news. Rarely did she ever do that. She had certainly evolved over the many, many, years that she had walked among the humans. Her actions methods had been in his high regard and her skill had only increased over time. He was proud of his creation.
"And what pleasure do I owe this visit by my star pupil?" he spoke with calm curiosity.

Millions of faces, but still I'm alone

[/right]

[LILITH]

Lilith hadn't seen him in so long, she had missed talking with him. But was so afraid to see him at the wrong moment. Since she had hunters to worry about. "I wanted to see you, why wouldn't I? your my father" She smiled and got as close to him as she could. Lilith wanted to break him out so bad, but she knew it would happen in time. She could always see him, the sacrifice always had to be great in order to get here. But it was worth it to her, she would sacrifice a hundred humans to see him.

"I needed to get away from the human world for a while, Ive spent so much time with them I feel human" she laughed.

As far as she knew he hardly had any visitors "Let's face it father, even a demon can get lonely sometimes. Course your the only person I like being around, I don't trust anyone but you. I get that from you I guess" She said simply and when she looked down she noticed a place to sit so she sat down.

"How are you doing? besides being stuck here I mean? Since I know how you feel on that subject"

[LUCIFER]

I'm looking out for the two of us

[/color]

He gave a small smile at her answer. Being with Lilith was the closest he had come to caring for another soul besides his own Father. It was strange to feel a sort of doting affection to his first creation. That could of been some sort of emotional need, but watching her flourish into what he had desired a 'good demon' to be fed his pride as well. His eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke, not that he was angry...Everybody in Hell knew when their ruler was unhappy. The ripple happened to cross various barriers and even had effects on earth, but of course humans called them 'natural disasters'.

"Don't go soft on me now" he said sternly. It was a joke but there was an underlying threat there. With freedom so close at hand, there was no time for mistakes, or 'slip up's on their path.

His face turned that steady calm once more. His emotions could be twisting inside but more often than not he was able to give the appearance of quite reflection, thought, and maintain some semblance of composure. As Lilith sat he went back to his chair, lounging in it as if he had just come home from a long day at work.

"Above all else, I am anxious. I've been here for thousands of years, longer than the prophecy for told of my escape from this.." he wafted his hand about. It was so hard to not use the word Hell, when he was describing Hell itself. "..place." he finished after a few moments of unsuccessful thought.
"Very little changes here and it's dreadfully boring."

He began to lean to one side, still facing her. Perching his elbow on the arm of his chair he held his jaw with his thumb as he looked to her.
"What of you, and Earth..." he paused, his voice dropping a little, "and of course the Winchesters."

Those boys had been a pain in his side sense their father had taken up hunting. He needed Sam for obvious reasons but maybe the boy was going to need a few shoves in the right direction. Sam was still too much of a 'good guy' for his liking. Even though demon blood ran through his veins...That part of his plan had gone well, but they had hit a bump in the road. He liked to know what they were doing and if Sam was going through any emotional, or moral changes that would be good news to the Devil.

I hope we'll be here when they're through with us

[/right]

[LILITH]

She knew it was a joke but also a warning and she nodded, sitting back she was thinking of what to say. "I'm not going soft you don't have to worry about that, you have enough to worry about. " She gave him an assuring look on her face. When it came down to talking about the boys she didn't like thinking about them, but he needed to know everything. Since she was really his main set of eyes and ears.

"The Winchesters are becoming a problem, Sam is getting out of control. Dean is having a hell of a time getting him under control. I know there friend Bobby has tried to help. But then you have Castiel to add to that, they are trying to get him to stop. But the need is to strong and he loves the power, problem is he has almost killed me twice. Right now I can defend myself, our powers are on the same level. But if he keeps this up, he will out power me, they know if they kill me it will damn you. Castiel has told them that much. Ive sent other demons and hellhounds after them, but its not working. But I still have a few tricks up my sleeve, since I refuse to let those damned humans take me down. I refuse to be like all the others, weak and hopeless." She sighed.

She thought for a moment "You keep me strong however, I know you are counting on me. I know I hold power over you in a way, because of the seal. So Ive been careful you can be sure of that, sometimes I wish I could spend more time here then with the humans. This game of cat and mouse is tiresome"

[LUCIFER]

Waiting, hours of waiting

[/color]

Above all things he was pleased that she wasn't going to give into weaknesses. He would hate to see that. She had seen time and time again of his reactions to weakened demons and the results were never pretty. He licked his lips in thought as he quietly listened to her report. He hung onto every detail, trying to calculate Hell's next move. This was a war and it just so happened that the Winchesters were important pieces on the board. He found it strange that the actions from these low humans have had such an impact on the war.

"How is Sam getting out of control? Is he not giving in to the cravings for blood?" he asked as he shifted in his seat.
Lucifer's muscles around his eyes flexed a bit, making him squint a little. The rest of face remained quite still. Castiel...an angel. This was not good. Still, he had heard rumors that Castiel was not really playing for the home team like they wanted. It seemed he had diverged from the path and rebelled from Heaven. Whenever an angel left, he felt proud, but Castiel had wormed his way to make his work help the brothers. With his knowledge on their side, Lucifer had become quite...irritated. They had to get rid of that angel. A pity, but it needed to be done.

Concern, or the closest thing to it, rose in his belly for Lilith. He sat up a little straighter and poured himself a drink of vodka. It would take a lot of the substance to get him anywhere near intoxicated, but he had enjoyed the flavor of it. He took a sip slowly.
"I know you love your games, but you should be very careful around those boys. Do not make any 'personal' visits. Unfortunately your games, but I need you to stay safe, and strong. Everything will have to be done by a third party. It' snot as fun, and he spoke from experience, 'But I don't want them to hurt you, little one. I can't have them learning anything about the seals, especially a seal on your level."

He pointed and took another drink, letting out a low sigh as he pressed his back further into the cushions. She spoke of cat and mouse, well he had been playing that game for several thousand years. Lucifer tapped his finger on his chin as he thought of what to do next. Sam had to devise a need for demon blood. They would need to kill Castiel, or keep him away from the brothers. There were not enough demons on the earth yet for this to happen properly. Getting out of Hell was a problem for a lot of them. They needed...an opening.

"We need to break one of those, pesky gates."

I can feel the tension

[/right]

[LILITH]

Lilith looked at him, watching him she leaned back in the chair and listened to him talk. She wasn't going out any more and looking for trouble. She wasn't sure what all the seals were, but figured he would tell her.

"Well, Sam wants the blood, but Dean and Bobby have found a way to stop him from doing it, Ive stopped by. They put him in some room and strap him to a table. Castiel is sticking his nose in everything. And as for me not going to them, Ive not been going near them for a few weeks. I don't want to die" She smiled.

Lilith thought for a moment "There are so many seals, I'm not to sure what any of them are. I could always go seal breaking to get you out. You have been in here much to long. Course I have to bow to your strength, if I was in there id go mad. "

She crossed her arms, wondering what was going on in her fathers mind, she wished she could read minds. Well read his mind and not get into any kind of trouble for it. Would be nice, but for now she sat there waiting to listen to what he has to say. She just hoped she didn't anger her father in any way, she was always afraid of upsetting him. She was his first and the only creation she cared about. She didn't want him to not approve of something.

[LUCIFER]

The fallen angel's lips tightened and his brows furrowed in concern and thought. He pondered to himself for a moment. They were going to have to find a way to get Sam back in the game. He shifted in his chair and made himself another drink. He downed a couple shots and shook his head before extending an arm, offering the bottle to Lilith.
"Sam can come later. They'll have to let him out when they need his help..."
He said as he set the bottle of vodka down for the moment. He licked his lips and squinted slightly. They were going to need help to open one of the Hell's gates in the united States. The railroad ties were a problem for demons. They would need mortal help.

Lucifer's eyes wandered back over to the demon. He smiled a little. She was trying and her attempts were admirable. He just wanted everything in perfect place before anything major happened. It was the last seal that he was worried about. They needed to find a, variation on a theme, so that Lilith wouldn't happen to die in the process. There had to be somebody else that they could sacrifice...They just had to figure out who, or what would be an excellent equivalent.

"We need to keep the boys distracted, so that they don't try and inter fear with our plans." He smiled. He was going to make them so busy they wouldn't be able to pay attention to what was really happening. Keep them busy to avoid the 'big picture'.
"I'd like you, or somebody you approve of, to go and break another Hell's gate. It would be good for some of your siblings to...stretch their legs.

((Just for some clarification, the RP starts at season three, so the events here are set in the future.))

[LILITH]

Lilith looked at him, and took the bottle he offered. She took a swig and handed it back to him. One leg crossed over the other, a soft smile on her face as she cleared her throat and didn't have to much to worry about. But started to think about the seals. Such as, where were they? what where they? She wished she knew what her father did. But he had a lot of mystery. And she didn't want to upset him, so she tried not to ask questions.

"I will have one of my other siblings do that, but how many seals need to be broken, to get you out of your damn cage?" She asked. A very soft smile on her face.

"I know that I would do anything for you, and I hope you know that. You may have other children. But I don't ever second guess you, I just hope the others will not second guess you. I don't want to kill any of my siblings, but I will in order for them not to screw with your plans" she said simply.

Lilith ran her fingers in her hair, and silently sighed. Her eyes never left her fathers, she always looked people in the eyes. It was of her way of showing she wasn't lying, that is how she is, that is how she always has been. Leaning forward she reached out to her father, and patted his knee lovingly.

[LUCIFER]

He wrapped his fingers around the chilled bottle and poured himself some more of the contents from it into his glass. His eyes wandered back to Lilith as she asked questions. It was good, she would need to know a lot of information. He smiled a little and relaxed as much as he could in his chair.
"There are sixty-six seals that we need total. Now, with Dean having done his 'dirty work' in Hell. There are only sixty five more that we need to destroy. As for the types of seals, they made many, many more than just sixty six. So you will have a wide variety of fun to chose from, my dear Lilith, " he said with a smile.

As the demon patted his knee he leaned forward and took her hand. He patted the back of her hand kindly, as a sort of repayment for her display of affection. He smiled.
"I know my child, and it pleases me to hear that. In times of war, tough decisions do have to be made. I know you can make them flawlessly. You have done so in the past." he said with a small smile.

Lucifer gave her hand a few more pats and then his thoughts drifted back to the seals. There were just so many options to chose from. He thought, his eyes glazing over a bit in concentration.
"There are a few, specific, seals that I was keen on breaking," he said as he gathered his ideas together, "Bringing Samhain to Earth, the rise of the witnesses, species extinction, the blind men on the sea, andthe death of two reapers on the solstice, specifically " he rambled off.
There were others though, too many to properly list.
"Of course, if you have any favorites...

[/b] he paused as he gave her the invitation to have a little fun, "By all means, enjoy your work. Just stay away from the Winchesters" he reiterated the warning. [/blockquote]

[LILITH]

Lilith started to take some mental notes on some of the seals, she crossed her arms thinking. She knew it was about time she had her other siblings do some work instead of herself, she didn't want to die. And wouldn't die, because she wasn't stupid. She refused to be stupid, so she just sat back a little and had her own thoughts. A smile never faded off her face, she was ready to do anything she was told to do.

"Don't worry father, I will stay away from the boys, but the question is. What is going to happen if Sam finds me and its a matter of life and death? I remember what you told me, about you wanting him. And ive been sending out hellhounds and other demons after them. More to play with them then anything, but if it comes down between his life and mine. Shall I kill him? Or am I to fall?" Lilith said.

The question was an honest one, it wasn't a smart ass question. She didn't know what he would say to her. She didn't want to go against her father, and knew that when it came down to it, she would die for her father, it was strange. But she was the only one who would gladly die for him.

"I just do not want to die" She admitted.

[LUCIFER]

Lucifer shifted and eventually stood. He needed to walk off some of this restless feeling tha thad been stirring in his gut for some time. He licked his lips and shifted about as he looked around him. The Pit. How long had he been in here? His eyes tried to take in all that he could see, but there wasn't much to the Pit. It was surprisingly empty. He turned away from Lilith as he stared out into the edges of the abyss. He crossed his arms and rested two fingers on his chin as he stood there in silence.

She had always been a clever girl. Now, her life could be on the line. Would he sacrifice his star pupil, his favorite creation, so he could be free? That was a tough one and at the moment he was torn. On one hand he desired to get out and walk on Earth more than anything, but on the other...he had become quite fond of her. And now she was almost pleading for some sort of sign that she had the right to protect herself, to have a little self preservation. He blinked and lifted his head a bit.

He looked over his shoulder hat her for a moment. He crossed the distance between them and walked till he was shoulder to shoulder with where she sat. He rested a hand upon her shoulder and looked down at her. He gripped her shoulder tight, a gesture of support.
"We need Sam alive, my dear" he started, "But you have my permission to kill him if it's between your life and his own," he said as he gave a warm smile.

Lucifer let go of her shoulder and smiled as he walked around her chair idly. He did need to stretch his legs.
"Besides...We can always bring him back topside if need be."

[LILITH]

Lilith watched him, she didn't know what he would say, and it worried her that she may have upset him. But she was glad she was very long, he had given her permission to protect herself. In that moment she knew it was very hard for him to give her that right and she would never forget it. She stood up and walked as close as she could, sticking her arms into the cage, and hugged him, it was strange to because of the damn bars but she was able to do it half assed.

"Thank you father for giving me permission, I understand why you will need him alive. I know you need him badly. But thank you for allowing me to protect myself. Now I promise you to do everything in my power to make it where I will not have to. I have siblings so I will use them. You know me, I always ask permission from you before I do anything. Ive always been that way. Lets face it Ive been doing what ever I can to try and impress you. Personally id like to stay around here while I'm not needed on Earth, would help me stay out of danger, trouble and give me some breathing room. Since I'm tired of being on Earth. My ears will always be open to what ever is happening. I will break some of those seals for you as well" She let him go, and smiled at him.
