In the spirit of Chinese New year...

How would IK and the gang celebrate?

Asking diavalo and lucifer for angpao

Actually wait throw Mephisto in there too, he's old

-Azure Anon

upon hearing that the lunar new year is like ik's major holiday, diavolo is DEVASTATED because ik can't celebrate it in the human world normally (both because she's in the demon world rn, and also bc back home it's really just her, her dad, and sometimes aunt lisa), lucifer has to physically hold him back from declaring a devildom-wide celebration as a substitute

the 'elders' that ik gets red envelopes from are lucifer, diavolo, barbatos, mephisto, simeon and solomon (the youngest one by a very large measure, but he insists because he is one hell of an elder human). mammon attempts to wheedle a pouch out of lucifer too and because he's in a good mood it actually WORKS

levi and luke team up to help ik make lots of pretty paper cuttings to decorate the hol! they don't get super fancy with the celebration, everyone just gets together and chats over snacks and tea (and some liquor) - it feels pretty much like a normal hang-out, at least until diavolo pulls out the lion dance puppets because he thought it was SUCH a shame to miss out on it

at first they attempt to recreate a genuine lion dance, but eventually it just devolves into a convuluted game of make-believe: it's that chess scene 2.0 (apparently guaranteed to happen every time the gang gets together for a celebration)

#diavolo wanted to get a real costume but barbatos gently coaxed him into letting go of the idea #everyone keeps getting their fingers pinched by the segments of the lion puppets and ik finds it very funny #they'll be in the middle of doing silly dialogue/narration and curse without even a pause for breath #mammon is like 'and then the thief slides down the mountain OW FUCK and does a sick flip into the crater and the hunter thinks he's dead-'#the story starts out as a grand heist but ends up involving everything from a bank workers' union going to very violent war with Big Money #to the neighbouring museum's exhibits coming to life and usurping the local council #separately solomon also conjures up some pretty fireworks :)#lucifer ends up drinking a bit too much throughout the whole lion story and he has the idea 'it's a special occasion so kid deserves a hug'#but he keeps forgetting he's already hugged ik and does it like ten times within an hour #answering asks #anon asks #azure anon
