"Close the Door"

A1, S4 [Heaven. LUTE enters her large, grey bedroom. It's decorated with very little. The door shuts with a hollow slam as she crosses to look off the balcony, and out onto Heaven. Her gaze is cold. The clouds of Heaven line the city skyline with a faint red haze.] HOLLIS: [Quietly knocking before entering upon LUTE's order:] Sir? LUTE: What now? HOLLIS: Raphael wanted to speak with you. In private, sir. LUTE: About what? HOLLIS: He didn't tell–I would assume Uriel's disappearance. LUTE: Hm. You can go. [With a nod, HOLLIS exits. LUTE takes a deep, frustrated breath, then exits to the hallway. After she checked the hall was clear, apart from HOLLIS, her wings skillfully carried her to the tall doors of the Elder Council's meeting room. The room's interior is large, lavishly decorated–and pristine, apart from RAPHAEL's paperwork-covered spot at the big table.] LUTE: Raphael? Sir, you needed to speak with me? RAPHAEL: Indeed. Please, close the door. LUTE: [She does, entering further.] What is it? RAPHAEL: How've you been holding up, I know this hasn't been easy on you. LUTE: I'll get through it. RAPHAEL: As always, if you do want to speak about it further– LUTE: What do you need? RAPHAEL: [He adjusts himself in his chair, giving LUTE his full attention.] What did he say to you? Before he– LUTE: Who Adam? Or– [she cuts herself off.] RAPHAEL: "Or?" [He takes a beat.] You saw him, didn't you? LUTE: Wha-I– RAPHAEL: Where. LUTE: No, I didn't mean– RAPHAEL: [His true form flickers through his desparation momentarily:] Where is he? LUTE: You know. RAPHAEL: How? LUTE: He went to the library. Then I watched him go. RAPHAEL: Well why did you stop him?! LUTE: Me?! How? What could I do? RAPHAEL: What did you do?! LUTE: With all due respect, Sir, he's the one that ends us all. I am not taking any chances with that thing you were hiding up here. RAPHAEL: Watch your tongue, Lieutenant. LUTE: [She huffs.] Sorry, Sir. RAPHAEL: [A beat; RAPHAEL deflates.] I won't tell the others. LUTE: [Beat.] Okay. [BLACKOUT.]

★WELCOME TO MY DOMAIN★

I decided to make a new blog intro since my last one was written before most of Light-Bringer, so it's time for an update!

Hiya!

I’m Lee (he/they), I’m an actor at Point Park University; I've had a mildly concerning fixation on Lucifer for like five years--uh--and I have a cat! Her name is Destiny :}

Recently I "finished" (still needs to be edited) my Hazbin Hotel Screenplay Light-Bringer!

It follows a character I'd been developing separately from the Hellaverse... I've been having a lot of fun coming at the characters from a different perspective while also keeping true to themselves!

LINKS BELOW:

@Leemarcoe - All the regular people socials--for the acting fings

@2ndprinceofdarkness - The gays. --Wattpad, Ao3, Tumblr--but we knew that

THERE'S A SEQUEL!

LIGHT-BRINGER: HELLBORN - "LULU WORLD!"

ACT 1, Scene 3 - "LULU WORLD!"

[Hell. Lucifer’s Lulu World office. We hear the whooshing of the group’s gateway as they spill into the cramped room. As everyone files in, the group is squished more–HUSK and URIEL each fly above–perching on scaffolding or furniture, NIFFTY is squarely on ALASTOR’s head. CHARLIE and ANGEL were pushed face to face, each making an awkward expression as VAGGIE watched bitterly, unable to reach them past LUCIFER and LILITH.] LILITH: Dear, the room–Please. LUCIFER: Oh! Right! [LUCIFER snaps his fingers, the room widens as everyone relaxes] LUCIFER: Sorry, I haven’t been here for a while! Heheh–[He kicks a rough duck under the display case.] ALASTOR: So! As much as I love this quaint little office, I would love to go anywhere else! LUCIFER: Right. Well! Let’s go–Charlie, you know the way! CHARLIE: Aghh!! Vaggie, you are going to LOVE it. LUCIFER: [Extending a formal hand to LILITH,] M’lady? LILITH: Are you ready? LUCIFER: We’re off! [CHARLIE and VAGGIE exit, LUCIFER and LILITH follow.] ANGEL: Does that mean we’re invited? [ALASTOR crackles with static, cocking his head. NIFFTY stares blankly.] URIEL: Unclear. HUSK: Well I ain’t staying in here all day. [He and ANGEL stand to go. To ALASTOR, URIEL, and NIFFTY:] You comin’? NIFFTY: Sure! URIEL: Oh, okay– ALASTOR: Lovely. ANGEL: You fuckin’ know it, baby. ALASTOR: Hm. [He leaves, with NIFFTY, waiting for the group outside.] ANGEL: Whaaat? He set it up perfectly, it’s not my fault you jumped the gun, Smiliey. [ANGEL follows, exiting:] URIEL: Uhm– HUSK: Heh, you’ll get used to it, kid. [HUSK pats URIEL’s back, and the two walk out of the office, joining the other three. The office, as it turns out, is the “Cinderella’s Castle” of Lulu World. As URIEL and HUSK look around, we see several tall roller coasters–each with it’s own color scheme. Far down the main street, CHARLIE and VAGGIE are skipping, holding hands, living the Disney princess dream. LUCIFER AND LILITH walk, arm in arm, LILITH holds a parasol, and LUCIFER flings his hat into the air, it disappears midair in a rain of light.] URIEL: [Re. The MORNINGSTARS:] Damn, they really just left us, huh? NIFFTY: So what do we do now? HUSK: [Leading the way, though he avoids ALASTOR’s side.] I vote we go on the Twisted Apple. –better still be here. ANGEL: “Twisted Apple?” What the fuck is that? Sounds like a drink. HUSK: HA! You wish. URIEL: Oh lord. HUSK: No. The Twisted Apple– is that. [He points out a towering red and gold rollercoaster that lies on the horizon.] ALASTOR: Well, I for one, wo– NIFFTY: YEAH LET’S GOOOO!! [NIFFTY scampers off to the coaster.] URIEL: [Flies right in front of her, stopping her before she disappears into the crowd.] I thought that these things had height requirements. ANGEL: Uh, yeah–sorry shortie, I don’t think you’re gonna quite make it for this one… NIFFTY: Aww. Well, that's okay… [She creeps her way up onto URIEL, holding onto his horns for security.] I have the ride I need right here… URIEL: What does that mean? ANGEL: What do you think that means? URIEL: [Kinda nervous, and scared, this little bug thing is kinda freaky.] …I don’t know. [BLACKOUT.]

LIGHT-BRINGER: HELLBORN-- "I Told You So"

NEW SCENE/HEADER ART :D (Archangel Raphael🌾)

ACT 1, SCENE 2: “I Told You So” [Heaven. A long, echoing hallway, near the Grand Council’s meeting hall. A young, curly-haired, and *really* short URIEL laughs while running away from RAPHAEL, who follows behind, playing tag with the running child.] URIEL: Nooooo!! RAPHAEL: [Laughing:] Oh, be careful! [URIEL trips over his own feet, faceplanting on the ground. He sits up, looking at RAPHAEL.] RAPHAEL: Safe! [They both start laughing, before long, SERA appears in the hall behind URIEL. She frowns at RAPHAEL.] RAPHAEL: Oh–Sera! Hi. Is anything the matter? SERA: [Her glare softens as the small URIEL meets her eyes.] Hello, little one. URIEL: [Waving excitedly:] Hi! [She returns the small wave, before focusing on the older Archangel.] SERA: Raphael, I greatly appreciate your stepping up to raise Uriel, you know this. But we are in a meeting, right now…Would you keep it down out here for the time being? RAPHAEL: Of course! Yes. Absolutely. My apologies, Sera. It won’t happen again. [URIEL has slipped away, his childish giggles echoing down the hall.] SERA: Right. RAPHAEL: I’ll just go deal with that– SERA: That would be for the best. RAPHAEL: Heh… [He speeds after URIEL, following him.] [SERA sighs, watching the pair from a distance. ADAM Enters.] ADAM: Are you done yet? Gabriel won't shut it about keeping on schedule. SERA: Oh, I–Yes. I’m finished. Shall we? ADAM: ‘The fuck were you looking at? Eugh, never mind–Lilith’s fuckin’ brat. SERA: Adam, he’s still a child. ADAM: Okay. And? What’s your fuckin’ point? SERA: We all need to play along, Adam. ADAM: Man I cannot wait to see the look on your face when I finally say I told you so. SERA: Hm. [SERA leaves, ADAM decides to follow.] [Blackout.]

LIGHT-BRINGER: HELLBORN

ACT ONE, SCENE ONE:

"Not Cannibal Town"

[Hell. The Hotel Lobby. HUSK is cleaning behind the bar, he's playing some old music on the lounge's jukebox. ANGEL DUST enters, sloppily and tiredly after a long day of shooting with Valentino.] HUSK: 'Bout time you showed up. ANGEL: Eughh– HUSK: That bad, huh? ANGEL: Don't even get me started. My holes have holes. HUSK: Mmm... ANGEL: Enough about me–How was your day? HUSK: It was alright. Got better once you got back, though. ANGEL: Noted. So, whatdoyasay– ya wanna get out of here? Go do anything? Cherri found this new poolhouse a few days ago–I could show you around~[ANGEL starts to go up the stairs to get ready.] HUSK: I thought you were tired– ANGEL: Are you comin' or not? HUSK: ["Eh, what the hell"–He follows.] Alright. ANGEL: Yeah–yeah, that's what I fuckin' thought. [CHARLIE and VAGGIE enter from the hall, mid-conversation.] VAGGIE: Y'know, babe, maybe if you knew more about what the sinners care about, they'll stay? CHARLIE: What–come on, I know plenty! VAGGIE: You asked me if "Verosika" was a perfume, hon. [ANGEL and HUSK snicker as they exit.] CHARLIE: Ehm–point taken. Maybe we could go out somewhere! VAGGIE: Ooo! What are you thinking? CHARLIE: Not Cannibal Town. VAGGIE: Heh, uhm... maybe–yeah I don't know. Any idea? I need something to do. CHARLIE: OOOOO!! I'VE GOT IT! I'VE GOT IT! VAGGIE: Well? What!! CHARLIE: We could go to LULU WORLD! VAGGIE: "Lulu World?" [LUCIFER explodes through a portal, through it we see LILITH sit up, looking tired and confused through the gate as it shuts behind LUCIFER.] LUCIFER: LULU WORLD! CHARLIE: LULU WORLD!! HUSK O/S: [Yelling from upstairs:] SHUT THE FUCK UP! CHARLIE: GUYS, EVERYONE, COME HERE!! WE'RE GOING ON A FIELD TRIP! VAGGIE: Vamonos! Angel! Uri! Get your asses down here! ANGEL: [Turning onto the top of the staircase,] Why won't you people let me sleep? VAGGIE: You're a demon, you don't need sleep, Angel. ANGEL: Yeah? Well, that doesn't mean a nap goes unappreciated. [URIEL steps through his portal, looking for whatever people are shouting about.] URIEL: What's happening?! VAGGIE: Oh, there you are. CHARLIE: We're going to Lulu World! URIEL: To wha... CHARLIE: [To VAGGIE,] See! It's not just me, Uri needs to learn about Hell too! URIEL: The fuck is a "Lulu World?" CHARLIE: That, is Dad's theme park! URIEL: You guys have a theme park? Wait–[To LUCIFER:] You have a theme park? LUCIFER: Yeah, I...I have a lot of hobbies. [Blackout.]

Light-Bringer: Hellborn--

"Curse of the Light-Bringer"

Author's Note:

SUP' FUCKERS!

Welcome to Heaven--Er, Hell-- WELCOME BACK TO LIGHT-BRINGER!

If you're confused, hiya! The following is a sequel to "LIGHT-BRINGER," it's a screenplay I wrote featuring my own character "Uriel Morningstar," who was originally inspired by and from the DC Comic's/Neil Gaiman/Live-Action/Netflix/Lucifer series.

Essentially, and for Uriel's Hazbin/Helluva "Reboot," though I had never actually published any of my writing previously, Uriel is the "antisocial antichrist." ("In One Ear" --Cage the Elephant, iykyk, look it up if I add it, it'll break the header image lmao--10/10 song tho!)

Prologue: "Curse of the Light-Bringer"

Uriel’s pristine wings flapped awake by his side, illuminating Lute’s face with their golden glow, “Why’re you still up here? You got your story, isn’t it time for you to go?” Her voice dismissed Uriel as he stood, scrawling some notes into the margins of his Grimoire. “Ah, you’re right.” Uriel retorted, smug as ever. He slipped the small pencil into a pocket and miracled the book away in a snap. And with a final crack of his knuckles, “Showtime.” “See you on the other side, Uri.” Lute’s chest fell hollow upon hearing her sentiment. Uriel smiled, twinkling with angelic dreams. Silence filled the massive library as Lute’s barren gaze followed the Half-Angel’s track. Giving a salute of solidarity to the Lieutenant, Uriel’s wings tightened behind him and before he could believe it, he was a bullet train heading out of the ancient building. The over-grown vines rustled as his wings unfurled, and he launched into the air. Alone, the Grand Library echoed the rumblings of the forgotten Antichrist to Lute. As Uriel flew, he relished in the rush of the wind, the golden glow of the sun glistening against his skin as he allowed his momentum to slow, coasting in the sky. He felt the cool air filling his lungs. He, if only for a moment, felt like Heaven. Taking a final breath, Uriel dove from the city of clouds. Glistening in the spot of his own light, he journeyed farther from the gilded gates. Falling beneath the shine of the silver city, Uriel’s light illuminated the way as the clouds shrouded the sun’s rays.

You made it! Now go do the thing!

The Gates of Heaven!

(Header art for Light-Bringer)

Act 1, Scene 2: "Really?" [Lights rise on LUCIFER, who stands before the Elder Council of Heaven, Lilith stands closely behind. GABRIEL, MICHAEL, and SERA sit at the table, there's two empty chairs at the large, imposing tabletop.] GABRIEL: The rules were clear, Lucifer. LUCIFER: Come on, she's fine! I see no good reason– MICHAEL: Enough! Brother, we were clear about our expectations of you. Regardless of the questions you have, you are in no place– LUCIFER: Oh please! Your expectations are ridiculous! How can you expect Lilith and I–or any of the humans, for that matter–to follow this 'plan' we aren't even able to see?!! SERA: Lucifer, you fail to see the issue. LUCIFER: I know, I know! You said I couldn't go to Earth...But I did... and it was incredible. GARBRIEL: No, Lucifer. It is not incredible. While we did suspect you, and eventually Lilith, would taste the fruit forbidden by the Lord, now because of your little serpent, Eve tasted the fruit; and now, Adam too may fall. You have no idea the damage you have caused. LILITH: Adam may fall? MICHAEL: Oh, right, Lucifer, I see, you took it upon yourself to bring the first human you doomed with you. LUCIFER: What do you mean he may fall, brother? MICHAEL: Oh-ho-ho! That's right! I forgot–you haven't been here. Well, let me inform you, brother. After you foolishly went to Earth, after being told not to, directly, you then persuaded the first humans you saw into doing the one thing they were told not to do. LUCIFER: Well, I- SERA: Enough, all of you. There were unforeseen consequences to your visit. LUCIFER: [Caught off-guard:] -What? MICHAEL: You need to understand Lucifer, while you may not know why you do the things you do, we on the other hand do think things all the way through. SERA: Michael, please. Be civil. LILITH: Would you spit it out, please? GABRIEL: Evil has found its way into Earth. It's only a matter of time before sin takes control. LUCIFER: What? How? All we did was–?[Fuck, like hard-core!!] [Silence fills the air, LILITH's next question strikes even her off guard:] LILITH: Why wouldn't you tell Lucifer this would happen? GABRIEL: What? LILITH: You could have prevented all of this if you had told us! We wouldn't have–[made hot steamy love ig] MICHAEL: What? LUCIFER: Hmm? MICHAEL: You wouldn't have what? LILITH: Nothing. GABRIEL: Enough. What's done is done. Lilith, you are with a child. MICHAEL: WHAT– LILITH: How did you know? LUCIFER: [To Lilith, sweetly:] Really? MICHAEL: [Can't hold it in any longer] NO fuckInG WaYY– SERA: Michael- [MICHAEL cackles hysterically as the lights fade.]

"It was a nice day..."

(New Header art for Genesis!! Click for quality--plz I swear)

(Psst--If you haven't heard, I've finished the main plot for Light-Bringer, and now I've begun the rewrites/adding art!!)

Read Light-Bringer on Wattpad: 🤩

Slay <3

Follow Ao3? I just made it and posted Light-bringer lmao ah

Thank you for reading this advertisement, back to your irregularly scheduled programming:

Light-Bringer-- Act One, Scene I: "Genesis"

[LILITH and ADAM, and their respective partners to come, are separated within the Garden of Eden. They're all surrounded by lush greenery, vines, small prey animals, lots of birds, and of course--the forbidden fruit's tree. URIEL, standing apart from the action as a whole, narrates the tale of the Garden of Eden. He reads from a large, golden-crested, purple leather-bound book.]

URIEL: In the Beginning, there was a man and a woman. Adam and Eve. The original pair--the two that lead to the whole human race. However, it seems some haven't heard the tales of the time before Eve: Adam had been first paired with the infamous "Lilith." The Queen of Darkness, an eventual ruler of Hell. The first woman.

[Beat.]

As I hope you will have inferred, Lilith and Adam's pairing wasn't--made in Heaven--so, eventually, Lilith decided to pursue her independence from Adam, refusing to stand by someone who didn't see her as an equal. And so, she left Adam. While alone in the tall trees of the forested garden, she was sought out by the only one who'd dare to be more infamous than she--Lucifer.

[URIEL continues narrating as LUCIFER enters--a bit hesitant. He taps LILITH on the shoulder, and she turns up to face him from her spot seated on the ground, LUCIFER gives a charming smile, and the pair sit, talking for a while.]

Lilith was "unsure," of Lucifer at first, but soon enough, she too saw something in the other, something they'd been starving for. Together, the world wasn't half-bad.

[LUCIFER and LILITH sit together brimming with sweet, youthful rebellion, eating the heart-shaped fruits, somber music swelling romantically in the back, campfire-like feeling]

LILITH: [LILITH'S attention fades away from the fruit. After a moment:] What do you think will happen next?

LUCIFER: [LUCIFER pauses, looking up from the fruit] How do you mean?

LILITH: Tomorrow. The sun will rise again.

LUCIFER: And?

LILITH: Well, you said there was this plan, what do you think will happen next?

LUCIFER: I haven't the slightest idea. [Finished the fruit.] What I do know is: tomorrow, the sun will rise and the sky will grow bright, and, tomorrow, you and I will wake together, along with all of the Garden of Eden.

LILITH: [Smiles.] Well, that will be nice, tomorrow. [LUCIFER smiles back]

[Lights fade, animals chirp and music swells as ADAM and EVE enter]

[ADAM sits against the forbidden tree as EVE flutters about in the greenery, tending to animals and plants of the garden]

ADAM: [Re. LILITH] ...I mean can you even believe that bitch?! Like, c'mon. All I asked for was like, some help. And then she just left! Unbelievable...

EVE: [Hasn't been listening] Oh, yeah, mhm, for sure--Lilith... yeah, got it.

ADAM: I know right? What a whore!! [A bird's repetitive tweeting gets on his nerves] The fuck is that?!

EVE: I don't know, Adam, what is it? ["What should we call it?"]

ADAM: Oh, shit, right. Uh–

EVE: [She shoos it away] ...Well?

ADAM: Shhhhh-uut up, I got it, I got it. Uhm..buh, bahhh,bo, birrrr, boooo[b]

EVE: Bird? [ADAM nods as EVE sits down]

ADAM. Bird. Boom. Done.

EVE: Right. [Beat.] So, I know you said the whole big plan wasn't really something you could explain. But, uhm, could you try? Like–I know you don't want me to eat the fruit, but, well, I guess I'm just not exactly clear on why.

ADAM: Oh not you too, why can't you ladies just do what they say? Don't eat the fruit from that one tree, then nothing will happen, it's simple, really. !

EVE: Adam, come on! Aren't you just a bit curious?

ADAM: Well, yeah, but I'm sure if we just do what they say, then nothing bad will happen!

EVE: [Resigned:] Mhm.

[Lights fade on ADAM and EVE, URI continues:]

URIEL: The next morning, no bird sang. Lilith had shared the fruit with an angel, and within the night, a certain serpent shared his fruit with Eve, who gifted it to Adam. [Beat.] As the golden rays of the sun peaked through the canopy of the Earth, surrounded by the Garden of Eden the lovers awoke in each other arms. And it was nice. [Beat, his tone darkens.] By day's end, the Garden was no more a home for mortals. Adam and Eve's story stayed on Earth, but Lilith's tale knows heights and depths never meant to be seen by a mere mortal. So, after some "convincing" [He makes a suspicious look at the word in his book,] Lucifer took Lilith with him to return to Heaven. Together, the partners vowed to declare their independence from Heaven, ready to be together--to be able to face anything the universe threw their way.

[Blackout.]

LIGHT-BRINGER CONCLUSION!!

“You Wouldn't Look Half-Bad, Half-Angel!"

Header art for Light-Bringer's last scene took way too long guy plz

(Read the full scene below!)

Maybe support that Wattpad?

PSST--HEY! THIS IS THE LAST SCENE!

Act 4, Scene 4--

"You Wouldn't Look Half-Bad, Half-Angel!"

[Hell. LILITH's heels click as she walks down the stairs. LUCIFER, CHARLIE, VAGGIE, ALASTOR, and NIFTY turn as she approaches the group gathered in the Lobby.]

CHARLIE: Mom, you're awake!

LILITH: Has he returned?

LUCIFER: No.

CHARLIE: You knew?

VAGGIE: What else aren't you telling us?

LILITH: He will be back, dear, I assure you.

LUCIFER: When?

LILITH: It's up to him. I'm sure we will be well aware of his return, so...

ALASTOR: So?

LILITH: So– we should focus our attention on something more productive than sitting here huddling in a corner. We have spent the past millenia waiting! I am tired of waiting for them to do the damn thing.

ALASTOR: I agree Lilith! There's no point in waiting for the end times, we could bring them ourselves!

NIFTY: YEAH!

LILITH: [A moment of "bitch tf,"] Unfortunately, Alastor, the timeframe of Uri's return is within his own hands. I've done all I can do. But–

[LUCIFER looks to her with panic–she stops.]

ALASTOR: Ouu! He's baaack!

[The handle of the front door turns–a slender black hand guides the door forward. A golden-orange glow comes from the other side. We see the silhouette of demonic horns, lit by the glow of URIEL's wings. There's a collective gasp at his new appearance. Red horns, a matching tail. He's holding his own "Grimore"–the book he and LILITH have. He has a blank expression, he's been having a rough time since we last saw him.]

LUCIFER: Uri?

VAGGIE: Woah, are you okay?

LILITH: What happened!?

CHARLIE: [Guiding him to a seat] Here you can sit–do you need anything?

VAGGIE: We can get you something to drink, some food...

URIEL: It's alright–I don't need anything–

LILITH: [Making way for herself and LUCIFER,] Let me see you, oh my–

LUCIFER: Lil, maybe just back off a bit–

URIEL: Mom, please–!

[ALASTOR watches with NIFTY perched on his head. VAGGIE backs off, sensing URIEL's unease. CHARLIE does too–pulling LILITH away to give him some breathing room. URIEL sits with his head in his hands on the sofa, LUCIFER kneels before him. The others watch, unable to look away, still feeling like they're intruding.]

URIEL: I'm sorry–

LUCIFER: We're not mad, kiddo.

URIEL: I didn't mean to. [Beat.} I didn't mean to...I had to–

LUCIFER: [Gets in closer, giving some reassurance–breaking URIEL from his spiral.] I know. How're you really holding up?

[URIEL peeks at the group, not giving an answer before LILITH breaks away from CHARLIE, going by LUCIFER's side.]

LILITH: What happened, Uri?

URIEL: [Beat.] There was a guard.

VAGGIE: Oh, shit.

URIEL: On my balcony.

.CHARLIE: A guard? Why?

URIEL: Because I was made by these two [Re: LUCIFER and LILITH.] So, Heaven doesn't trust me to be here. Or be on Earth. Or really just "be...."

LILITH: And?

URIEL: I needed to leave Heaven.

LUCIFER: So you...?

CHARLIE: What did you do?

ALASTOR: AHAHA! Now this will be interesting!

NIFTY: Oooohhohohohohuu!!

[URIEL rolls his eyes, a growl sighing out.]

NIFTY: He's even more of a bad boy!

CHARLIE: [To URIEL:] Who was it–?

URIEL: –An exorcist.

VAGGIE: Wait, who?

URIEL: One of Lute's a-hole, top-shit, dickbag officers. And they aren't dead just out of commission–

ALASTOR: Oh, understood! Now–do tell me, is this new appearance change of yours intentional? I do say it looks like quite the improvement, maybe if we got you to smile, you wouldn't look half-bad, Half-Angel!

URIEL: Well, actually–

LILITH: That part we did expect–

CHARLIE: You did?

LUCIFER: We did?

LILITH: We did.

URIEL: [Hands the book to LUCIFER.] More or less... it's all there.

VAGGIE: Woah...

CHARLIE: Is that why you didn't want to go back? Because of this? Uri, I need you to know–I wouldn't have made you go back to Heaven if you didn't want to, ever! I hope you didn't feel like I wasn't happy to meet you–it was–is–a lot to take in. I just hope you'll let us try to make things right–for all our sakes.

URIEL: Thanks, Charlie.

[URIEL smiles, surrounded by the group. He sits between CHARLIE and VAGGIE on one side, and LUCIFER and LILITH on his other.]

VAGGIE: I need to be honest, you're handling this better than I was when I fell.

[VAGGIE goes to the bar, grabbing a bottle of wine. While she's there, she does a headcount, realizing she doesn't have enough glasses to give to everyone.]

URIEL: Aw, thanks!! I've had 10,000 years to prepare.

LUCIFER: Only if you're sure you are okay–

URIEL: I'm fine, really. [He's trying to play it off:] The pain stopped before I got here, besides I got way worse from sparring at home! Oh–

VAGGIE: It takes a while. You'll get used to it.

[Beat.] URIEL is notably more introspective–at this moment–the reality of his situation hitting like a semi-truck. VAGGIE returns to the couch, with three wine flutes and a bottle of red wine.]

ALASTOR: Well–I believe wine glasses were an oversight of our little Hotel renovation! Say, Nifty, care to join me on a few errands today?

NIFTY: Sure! [She waves flirtingly at URIEL,] Goodbye–eheh--I'll see you tonight~

[He just kinda smiles awkwardly–not knowing what to do, or what that means. ALASTOR and NIFTY exit with gleeful giggling. URIEL begins again, after the door closes, ending the laughing.]

URIEL: Right–anyway–I did want to show you something. So, after I dealt with the guard, I went to the Grand Library–[URIEL opens his book onto the tabletop. VAGGIE hands out glasses of wine.] –Thanks.

CHARLIE: The Library? Why? [Re: VAGGIE giving wine.] Thanks, You.

[VAGGIE offers the final glass to LUCIFER, who snaps his fingers, materializing a glass in each hand, already full–he hands one to LILITH. He grins at VAGGIE who shakes her head at "His Royal Smugness."]

LUCIFER: That's not exactly playing it safe, Uri.

URIEL: Yeah, well, I'm a big kid–and it doesn't matter. Before I got to it, Lute found me. Get this: she said that the ending of the book had disappeared right after Adam's death. So...

VAGGIE: So? It's Lute–she's probably lying.

URIEL: So–that's when she sent Mom back when she did–that's when she sent me down here!

CHARLIE: So?

URIEL: So–the hotel is changing things in Heaven!

CHARLIE: Holy shit! That's great! Maybe they'll listen to us now!

URIEL: Charlie–can you honestly tell me of a time that Heaven actually listened to anyone here right now?

CHARLIE: I–uh–no, not really. What about Emily!? She seemed like she might--maybe--listen, someday...

URIEL: Charlie, I have spent a millenia trying to make someone in Heaven understand, to make them all actually listen–they aren't going to. But now–even Sera can't deny it–Heaven is losing control!

LUCIFER: Do you think we're in danger? Are they going to send someone after you again?

CHARLIE: Whaat, noooo!

URIEL: Uhh–

LILITH: Yes.

URIEL: Yeeeeaaah, probably. Big things are beginning to happen up there, and they aren't the ones causing it., it's scaring them. [To CHARLIE:] But you need to be careful–I doubt they'd treat you with the same kindness they showed me all these years after my [Airquotes:] "stunt"–

VAGGIE: We've fought them before, we'll do it again if we have to.

CHARLIE: We can protect ourselves, but I don't want to lose anyone else after Pentious.

URIEL: I won't let it come to that, you have my word, Charlie. I won't put you guys in danger. You've all done your time in the battle against Heaven, now I... [Beat.] If my being at the Hotel will put you in harm's way, I can find somewhere else to stay. Would I be able to get my stuff? I left it upstairs–

CHARLIE: Uri–! Please, don't feel like you have to leave. And Husk is making everyone dinner, we're just waiting on Angel to get back

VAGGIE: Yeah, it's not like you have any competition–we have plenty of rooms. Not many sinners want to stay at ground zero of the extermination.

LILITH: Oh well I can help with that–

CHARLIE: Really?!!

LILITH: Of course, dear.

CHARLIE: I am! You and Mom can stay here, at the Hotel, it'll be great. We can all live together, like a big family! [She squeezes VAGGIE, holding her around the waist.]

URIEL: [Beat.] Really?

CHARLIE: Wouldn't that be great? Just like on Earth, we could have game night! Ah!! We could have a karaoke family game night! And we could sing, and hold hands, what else do families do?

URIEL: I forgot. You haven't been to Earth yourself yet, have you?

CHARLIE: No, not personally. I've heard some good reviews though!

URIEL: Really, from people here?

CHARLIE: No.

URIEL: Ah. [Beat.] I guess that's what I could do once you guys kick me out. Go to Earth?

VAGGIE: Absolutely not!

URIEL: What? Why not?

VAGGIE: I forbid it.

URIEL: You do?

CHARLIE: She does.

LUCIFER: [RE: LILTH] So does she.

LILITH: What? I spent far too long waiting to get back here with you–no way I will be letting my baby boy out of my sight again.

URIEL: I'm like 10,000 years old.

LILITH: And you were still "like 10,000" seven years ago, and I still don't care, dear.

URIEL: Aw.

LUCIFER: Besides, we made a deal.

VAGGIE, CHARLIE, LILITH: You what?

URIEL: --You can't say it like that, Dad. He wanted me to play piano for him, and then I said he'd have to teach me to play the violin–it's stupid. I was drunk, and he was...Dad.

LUCIFER: Hey!

URIEL: Hey. [URIEL beams a smile to LUCIFER. Now to CHARLIE:] That wouldn't even take super long, I could be out of your hair tonight if you change your mind...

CHARLIE: [Beat.] Stay for as long as you want.

[URIEL hesitates and decides not to speak–smiling and taking a small sip of his wine as the lights fade to blackout.]
