Right. Lucifer considered himself again in the walk-in mirror. Was his bow-tie properly tied? The rest of the white tux was immaculate, but the tie...

Look, he'd managed to finally come out of hiding on the Rouge a few days ago. He'd spoken to miss Lopez, and discovered almost no time had passed. Which had come in handy for when Linda had come over to yell at him about how hard it was to find an elementary school for a child that was only a year old on paper. And then... time had gone on.

Amenadiel had yelled at him again, but he'd ignored that.

No, if they were going to be in Los Angeles, he was... going to try and take his mind off of the whole God mess. No one needed him self-actualizing anything else in a panic, right? So he'd arranged something special for tonight. A visit to the only magician's club in all the world...

"Now if only I could get this bloody bowtie right," he muttered, as he gave up, and finally stepped out of the walk-in, back into the apartment.

[[ for them, and based on Lucifer season 6 episode 1, 'Nothing Ever Changes Around Here'. ]]

"They'll want us to stay here," Octavia muttered. She was still looking at the body.

It was nothing new.

"Witnesses."

Duke scanned the rest of the room.

“We should stay here?” he said (asked). “And, you know, not get trampled in a panic?”

He would rather not be talking to the LAPD, even as a witness, but he wasn’t about to run off and leave the other two behind if they were staying.

Octavia said nothing to that.

Lucifer's detective was almost the furthest thing from her mind.

Duke sat back in his seat, resigned, and finished his cocktail in a long gulp.

Right. Well. It'd been a nice forced vacation while it lasted. . . .

okteiviakom: ([neu] head on straight on)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
Octavia's hand landed on his arm, out of reflex.

(Still a better one than the one she'd managed to curb right before, which would've knocked the glass out of Duke's hand before he'd had a chance to finish it.)

Date: 20 Jun 2025 20:25 (UTC)
betterthanaplan: (um what)
From: [personal profile] betterthanaplan
"Oh shit," Duke said. His instinct, like Lucifer's, was to get up. A glance at Octavia with her hand on Lucifer's arm at least had him not leaving the table to immediately rush to the stage. "Someone's still in there!"

Date: 20 Jun 2025 20:54 (UTC)
okteiviakom: ([neu] that's a bad plan)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
Now that was enough to get even Octavia raising her eyebrows.

"... Who's the body?"

As if either of them would know.

Date: 20 Jun 2025 20:57 (UTC)
betterthanaplan: (good point)
From: [personal profile] betterthanaplan
"Good question," Duke said. "Related question: do we care? I mean. Other than 'fuck, that guy's dead'."

Date: 25 Jun 2025 17:32 (UTC)
okteiviakom: ([neu] yeah that'll suck)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
Octavia bristled at the noise.

"Here we go," she muttered.

Duke sat back down and tried not to look suspicious. Not because there was any reason to suspect him; this was just his natural response to the police showing up where he was.

He really hoped they weren't going into the lion's den, as it were. (And he kind of wished he had another cocktail to down.)

okteiviakom: ([neu] casual friday)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
... Well. Guess some things around here really stayed the same.

The look on Octavia's face went extra dry.

betterthanaplan: (pleased)
From: [personal profile] betterthanaplan
Duke, on the other hand, grinned back and offered Ella a little wave. "It's my favorite cop! Admittedly not a high bar. . . ."

"Why would this be weird?" Octavia rasped.

She leaned so hard into her natural deadpan that it was impossible to tell whether she meant it or not.

betterthanaplan: ((:-|)
From: [personal profile] betterthanaplan
"It's definitely weird," Duke said with a small chuckle. "We weren't planning to be in LA at all. Much less in LA at the scene of a murder."

"Yeahhhh, I'll bet," Ella said. "And you're just here to grab a show, and then someone gets whacked, and--"

While she spoke, Lucifer's eyes tracked up. And aside. And...

"Lucifer," said another, very familiar voice, coming from a very familiar blonde woman. Beside Chloe stood a tall, extremely nondescript police officer, whose eyes darted between the three seated parties. But Chloe's eyes were on one person, and one person only. "What are you-- what are you doing here? I thought..."

okteiviakom: ([neu blodreina] mmmmhmmmmmm)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Not our first choice," Octavia agreed, mild rather than dry, now.

She didn't really think Chloe was paying her any attention.

betterthanaplan: (*shrug*)
From: [personal profile] betterthanaplan
Duke didn't say anything himself, because -- yeah, Chloe wasn't paying them any attention.

He watched her and Lucifer, eyes flicking between them. He knew how Lucifer felt (he did, dammit), but how Chloe did. . . . That was something else.
