Dagon was relaxing in their usual hotspring. Their eyes were closed, but they could tell that Michael just teleported nearby. The angel spoke shortly after.
"We have to talk."
"i'm listening."
"I would prefer to have you standing in front of me and being able to look you into the eyes, when talking to you."
Dagon let out a sight and swam towards Michael. Once he reached the edge he placed his hands in front of him in the snow and pushed themself up. Dagon kept their sight low as they placed his right foot next to his hand and stood up. Taking their time, while the hot water was dripping of them and hot steam was raising from their skin. Scales glistering, Dagon raised his head and locked eyes with Michael.
"Not so much looking into my eyes now, are we?"
"We are literally locking eyes, Dagon. Please put something on."
"Of course. Are we talking business or....?"
"Strictly business."
"Right, okay."
Dagon leaned down to grab his red sash lying on top of his cloths. They put it over their head. Even made sure there were no wrinkles. Gotta look representable. It was the only thing they put on.
"The Grand Duke of hell is ready for the audience with Supreme Archangel Michael."
Michael mumbles something what sounds awfully close to "Stopping Armageddon might have been a mistake"

Thought I had a normal cold or even maybe the flu these last few days but SURPRISE, we just got news of a covid outbreak at my spouse's facility, so we snagged some tests and apparently the whole household has covid, even though my spouse initially tested negative earlier on Monday when they started staying home to recover. I'm super grateful to be up-to-date on all my vaccines! This sucks, but it could be so much worse.
Get vaccinated! Get your booster shots! Mask up! I really cannot emphasize this enough. Stay safe.

i spent my last week having very little sleep so
effects of no sleep that if i have then tim drake's white (asian) pasty ass also has:
my eyes water when i yawn, all the time. doesn't matter my level of sleep, but if I'm sleep deprived it looks like i snorted coke or went to a funeral. sometimes it even looks like i snorted drug over that sweet sweet coffin wood.
little goblin tim drake probably is giving a whole ass new meaning to red-eye.
i get very sleepy doing anything i don't love, like maths. my eyes start to close. i sleep and yet I'm awake. i will suddenly be very awake if you talk to me. otherwise, I'm drifting dude. i start to sleep sitting up so I don't look like I'm asleep. everyone looking will see I'm drifting. i will be drifting. i won't remember anything afterwards.
tim drake full on sleeping during briefings with his eyes wide open like a heathen. i still have not mastered this ability but i know he did.
my laugh turns unhinged. i become the joker. i will laugh about anything really, even about the spanish inquisition.
tim will full-on laugh WITH the joker around his sixty hour of no sleep.
i start doodling in my notebooks if I'm in class, usually stuff that makes no sense (or eyes). i might try and copy stuff, but my BEAUTIFUL calligraphy will just start to become unreadable hieroglyphics. my little round letters will become spikey. i have fully wrote "triangle chicken" in the middle of a physics mind-map.
tim drake's briefings with a "deez nuts" or taylor swift lyrics in the middle of it. little doodles of poison ivy or a crowbar or trees. or just cups of coffee.
i started rumbling (growling? is a weird ass sound) after yawning. there's no explanation.
he rumbles once so loud jason thinks he is possessed by damian

I think sometimes about that time the subject came up of what my grandparents would leave my parents when they died (no grandparents were in the room).
And while there was some speculation over my father's parents, my mother's mother had lived on a widow's pension for most of her life. So none of her seven children were expecting a fat inheritance.
And my dad was like, "Ah, yes! The Gaertner family fortune, split seven ways, should be enough to take us allllll to Eat'n Park!"
This got some laughter and heckling from the rest of the family, my mother included (Dad knows his audience). He went on to say, "And not just one course either! We can get whatever we want!"
"So we can get dessert?" my mom asked.
"Oh yeah! We can get dessert, we can get appetizers, a box of cookies to go....."
And then years later, when my grandmother died at age 94, her will allocated most of her savings for a funeral and a small wake. The rest was to be split equally among her kids.
It takes a while for these kinds of financial things to process, so my mother received her inheritance a few months later.
Each sibling received $200.
Which, as it happens, was exactly enough to take my immediate family and a couple of cousins out to a really nice dinner at Eat'n Park.

Nimona headcanons I wrote instead of sleeping
Sometimes the boys forget that Nimona isn’t human
Like they’re used to the shifting into animals aspect of Nimona because she does it as often as she breathes
But sometimes she’ll do some really creepy shit like make her arms longer to reach something when she’s too lazy to get up
One time they shifted just their neck to be like an owl so they could turn their head 180 degrees instead of just turning around cause that was “too boring”
Or he’ll mimic people’s voices without realizing it
Sometimes he’ll tell a story and suddenly he’s using Bal’s voice
The first time she did this Bal searched the whole house cause he was convinced that Todd has snuck in
Or she’ll grow an extra arm to hold more shit and they take a moment to realize “oh yeah we adopted a little weirdo”
They get used to it after a while and the arguments surrounding it are always funny because both the boys will complain and say “I don’t sound like that” and they have to be told “No love you do you really do”
You know those videos of babies reacting to their parents shaving their facial hair or putting on glasses
That’s Nimona's reaction every single time the boys change their appearance even the smallest bit they cant shave or wear their reading glasses because if they do he freaks out
Talking some “help me Nemesis I heard bosses voice but I can’t find him” while Bal was standing right in front of them
It was the first time he shaved his face in years and he’s never doing it again
Mostly cause Ambrosius kept telling him he looked like a teenager and it was freaking him out
I feel like Bal and Ambrosius are those kinds of people who will tell people about the little injuries but neglect the big ones
Like Bal mentioned that he thinks he sprained his ankle during the fight at the institute but he won’t mention that he’s pretty sure he got a concussion
(BECAUSE THIS MAN HEAD-BUTTED TWO PEOPLE WHEN HE HAS A METAL ARM)
(I’m bout to wrap this man in bubble wrap and give him a helmet because wtf)
Ambrosius will complain the whole day about the fact that he has a paper cut
But will completely neglect to inform his doctors “Oh yeah I can’t move my left arm higher than my waist without pain and I can’t see that well out of my left eye or hear that well out of my left ear do you think that’ll be a problem?”
It isn’t until Nimona makes an off handed comment about how this super weird that the laser did basically nothing to him that he told both of them
They literally dragged him to the ER because “Who thinks those symptoms are normal Nemesis what is wrong in that pretty little head of yours!!”
When Bal tells Nimona she’s being a bit of a hypocrite (cause who refers to an arrow as a splinter?) she turns to him and says “I know you’re not saying something Mr. Human battering ram”
It took literally everything in Ambrosius not to break down laughing
After that she forces them to have frequent checkups with the doctor because these dorks wouldn’t go otherwise
Honestly I'm fully convinced that some people in the kingdom don't know who Nimona is and are constantly confused why they let this little weirdo follow them around
And finally the curiosity will eat away at them and they’ll finally ask
Sometimes the boys will give some “normal” answers like “Oh that’s Nimona” and they won’t elaborate at all
Sometimes they’ll give funnier answers like “Oh that’s a raccoon we found in the garage who turned into a person one day” “I don’t know they just showed up in our living room” and their personal best “You see her too?”
And their favorite that they only started using a couple of years down the line “Oh that’s our kid”
