Lucifer's Dreamwalking

[endoftheverse]

 

Comment here with your character in the middle of a dream while sleeping at night, and Lucifer will appear.

(He will be appearing at random to new CR, just looking around for company...!

But can also be summoned into dreams after any praying that is directed to 'angels' or to Lucifer directly.)

[ Paimon can't exactly understand this just yet, but the type of demon he is was never meant to battle for dominance against his vessel's spirit. The spirit was supposed to already have been removed.... or weakened so much that it was mere seconds away from fizzling away forever. But they'd woken in this place, and somehow the dream world had... kept Peter alive. Healed him enough to exist again, perhaps, and keep both of them here in this body.

But he listens to Lucifer's words, and nods severely. A fussy body. Peter doesn't provide much of a challenge on a normal day; it's relatively easy to silence him when he needs to. But clearly, Lucifer has more struggle within Sam Winchester. And so Paimon will do what he can to help him... ]

I can. I can do this.

[ His eyes glisten strangely as Lucifer takes his hand and squeezes it, warns him about the Winchesters, tries to protect him from them. He's so good, so kind, Paimon thinks. Of course his master would be. ]

.....Though I am very weak, Master. [ He glances back down again, a little fretful. He knows he's still such a broken thing. It may take him some time to accomplish this task, to sort out how to do it in a way that his own vessel doesn't find out. He will also need to observe Sam Winchester for awhile, note his patterns and who lives with him and what times he's alone. He will have to be very careful. Very cunning. Fortunately, he is a demon of knowledge and wisdom, not of combat. He can devise clever plans, use them that way, and such a task may help him reclaim that part of himself. ]

But I will grow stronger. I will not fail you.

[ A pause, as his wide eyes search the other's. ] Can I still.... speak to you? Like this? [ Even if he has to lay low for awhile and be careful around Sam. There's still so much he wants to discuss with Lucifer, so much to ask him. ]

[Lucifer smiles, not a shred of doubt in Paimon in the way he looks at him.]

I know you'll grow stronger. I know you'll do what's needed.

[He But when Paimon asks him that, and Lucifer finds it adorable, in that sort of way a pet owner is proud of their dog for learning how to shake or sit. He ruffles Peter's hair, reminded of the boy who used to have a similar head of shaggy hair — a Sam Winchester that didn't know what laid before him, young and impressionable, with stars in his eyes for school and normalcy.

Poor creatures.]

Of course you can. You can pray to me any time you'd like.

Barring any unpleasant surprises from my vessel... I'll appear as requested.

[ The belief Lucifer has in him strikes him deeply; Paimon isn't used to being regarded with such... confidence. Especially not when he's been lacking it in himself. But he's reassured by the words, a resolve strengthened in him. He'll absolutely treat this task with care, and he has much to think about. His master making an appearance here means... everything. ]

You are gracious.... the most gracious. [ He whispers softly, the affection to his hair warming him even more. Something that does feel like love keeps pulsing in the depths of him. If he could ever feel love, skewed as it is; being in human forms has allowed him to experience the shadows of certain feelings. ]

Thank you. [ Paimon is very pleased that he can summon Lucifer, and he tells himself that he won't abuse that ability. (.....Watch him pray to Lucifer like, every night, though. Sorry Satan, he's literally your Biggest Fan.....) ]

Please rest now. You must be tired, working against the will of your vessel..... But I will dream of you, [ he promises, associating the concept with empowering Lucifer; Paimon will think of him in sleep and try to give him strength that way, too. ]

["I will dream of you". Goodness, Paimon, buy him dinner first. But as the demon speaks, Lucifer looks particularly pleased by this entire conversation. He gives a small nod, and takes one step back.]

Sweet dreams, little demon king.

I'm sure we'll do wondrous things, you and I.

[In the blink of an eye, he's gone, his energy lingering in the air, like the coldness of winter that slips through a door left open. It fades with time.]
