From Lucifer's Penthouse to Los Angeles, Monday Evening

[my_own_advocate]

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.

Duke's face was not unreadable. Duke's face was in large print and translated into several languages for optimal accessibility.

He was not a fan of assisting with this murder case, no.

Ah. "Ah," Lucifer said, "If in exchange Duke and Octavia can go home, of course."

Chloe's forehead crumpled into a frown. "I-- this is not a hostage situation, Lucifer."

"Also we're a long way from home," Octavia rasped, evenly.

Although now she was glancing at Duke, to get a read on him.

"My boat's the harbor," Duke noted. "We can, uh. Wait there. If you want to hang out, Luce."

He'd prefer to drag Lucifer back to the Rouge with them, but well. He understood wanting to do things 'for old times' sake' with a former fling. Even while he kind of hated it.

"Well, the show seems unfortunately done for the night," Lucifer said, tossing them both a-- sheepish sort of smile. "And the police are here, and I know you're not entirely comfortable with our dear detectives, but I would really like to get to the bottom of this mystery."

"I hadn't even--" Told him it was okay to join in, Chloe wanted to finish, but then she vividly remembered what life with Lucifer had been like, and she just rubbed her forehead. "You're free to go wherever you want after just a few more questions," she said. "That goes for all three of you."

[okteiviakom]

"Well, can we get to the questions?"

Seemed like those would be more simple than everything else they had going on here.
