[b]Roleplay Title: [/b]Hold My Flower
[b]Setting: [/b]Celebration on Wiz a few years before rp begins
[b]Characters Involved: [/b]Lucifel & Hades Hyperion

Disgusting. The decor of the wizard palace hurt his eyes with the emphasis on elegance and beauty. For wizards with the surname "Black", there was a near complete lack of the color in this castle. Lucifel did not even see a single skull lined against the wall nor any blood stains from slain enemies showcased on the flooring. And the atmosphere felt so...[i]welcoming[/i], it was ridiculous; a gathering such as this in Hell would have been made to have the guests feel intimidated by the royal family. Not whatever this friendly celebration the wizards had invited them to was.

Lucifel had been coping with the insufferable party by completely ignoring everything around him and standing against the wall away from everyone. Unfortunately, some fool chose to disturb his self imposed isolation, and Lucifel felt irritated once a voice broke through the noise to address him.
"Brother, I brought you a plate of snacks."

Well if it wasn't the herald of annoyance himself: little Hades in the flesh, imposing his presence on Lucifel no doubt to nag. Hades casually strolled up to him and dared to press a filled dish into his hands; anybody else and Lucifel would have smacked them away. Instead, Lucifel took the plate without a word of thanks and stared at the foreign food Hades brought to him.

"Hmph, your soft heart shines through once again. What makes you think I would poison my stomach with these wizard morsels?" he scoffed, although there was not an ounce of surprise in Lucifel's tone. Dutiful little Hades had always paid attention to his older siblings and constantly did thoughtful things for them, much to the bafflement of Lucifel. Neither him or the twins had ever done anything to actually deserve such devotion.

"You haven't done anything this whole party, I thought you should at least eat something..." he sighed softly, accustomed to Lucifel's attitude. "Trust me, you'll like these. I didn't choose anything you hate."

Lucifel furrowed his brows and took another glance at the plate. If there was anything Lucifel enjoyed, it was freely given offerings and Hades had apparently hand picked the food for him. He supposed it would not hurt to taste a few snacks and appease his little brother. "...Do not look at me with that expression. I refuse to be coerced into participate in meaningless dances, but as I am the most superior of your elder siblings, I will grant you the favor of tasting these...whatever they are, that you have delivered." he dramatically declared as he reluctantly picked up a random snack; a tiny orange cracker. Under Hades' expectant stare, Lucifel plopped it into his mouth.

His eyes widened in wonder. "The taste of cheese? Wizards have cheese ?!" he questioned Hades, grabbing another handful of the crackers. "I had thought they only existed on earth, made from the milk gifted by cows to human farmers they have formed a contract with!"

Amazing! The wizards actually had a snack worthy of the demon prince. These miniature square shaped orange crackers pleased him greatly; if a being ever conducted a summoning ritual to pull Lucifel to their plane, these snacks would be an acceptable substitute for a blood sacrifice. He wanted more of these.
"Get me more of the small squares that taste of cheese. I want all of them!"

Rather than feel annoyed by his demand like any other person Hades just looked relieved and gave Lucifel a bright, disgusting smile. "I knew you would like that one! Alright, when you finish your plate let me know and I'll bring more for you." he sounded satisfied at his awareness of Lucifel's impeccable taste, and sickenly happy at the idea of being useful to him.

Now, while Lucifel felt it was acceptable for Hades to fetch all of his food for him, having his little brother make noisy disruptions with "small talk" while he devoured his delicious snacks would just be an annoyance. Lucifel turned to where he sensed the demonic presence of Lucian and without needing to look for more than a moment, already knew his other brother would be the perfect distraction. Unsurprisingly Lucian's formal wear was unbuttoned and his chest was out on display for the entire room; in his arms was a wizard he swayed with on the dancefloor, who may or may not have been the one to have left intimate marks on Lucian's neck. "You waste your eyes on me and miss the discord stirred by our philandering brother. He looks ready to ditch this worthless celebration to create an illegitimate heir to the throne with some wizard woman."

"He's what?!"Hades exclaimed, looking scandalized as he turned to search for Lucian. "I-I told that idiot to behave...!" he sputtered once he spotted the prince dancing half naked on the ballroom floor. He hastily excused himself and retreated from Lucifel's side, hurrying to scold Lucian.

Lucifel laughed in cruel amusement as he watched his siblings bicker in front of the assembled wizards. He popped another cracker into his mouth and mindlessly went to reach for another, but he only grasped air. The demon prince frowned and set the plate down on the floor. The snacks were perhaps the one small joy he had tonight and Lucifel would have to risk the journey to the food table on his own if he planned on replenishing the plate. The last thing he wished to happen was to be forced into social interaction so perhaps Lucifel should just take the entire bowl with him to avoid needlessly returning over and over?

He dramatically turned towards the table, his cape flourishing behind him as he marched towards the snacks. Lucifel completely disregarded the line of people and barged in front of a blond man, uncaringly knocking him in the shoulder and causing the wizard to nearly drop his food.The demon prince briefly scanned the table and quickly snatched his prize: a bejewelled dish containing the snack who won his heart.

"Hahaha! The cheese crackers now belong to their rightful devourer." he spoke with triumph, cradling the bowl like a precious treasure as he walked away.[/center]
