Part Four (Chapter Four: Another Angel)
That night, Lucifer borrowed a jacket from Ashiya and followed Skylar back to her place.
He opens the fridge the moment he went in.
Lucifer: "Hmm fried rice. Eh, that will do."
He takes it, leaving his belongings in front of Skylar, and sits next to the table.
Skylar picks up his stuff and puts it on the couch, going to the fridge and pouring herself a glass of milk and sitting opposite Lucifer at the table, sipping it.
Lucifer continues to eat his fried rice, finishing every piece and dumped the bowl into the sink, without rinsing it.
He lands himself onto a comfortable couch and took out his laptop, but realizes there is no plug near the couch.
Lucifer: "Hey Skylar, where's the plug?"
Skylar: "Umm.. I think its just behind the couch.." *takes the laptop wire and plugs it in, turning it on and then getting her laptop and doing the same, turning it on and browsing for anime*
Lucifer plugs his computer, and was about to listen to music when he groaned.
Lucifer: "Aw crap! I left my headphones at Maou's place. I guess that would mean I'll have to listen my music out loud..."
He turns up the volume, bopping his head and snatches a bag of chips from your pile of favorite snacks without your permission.
Skylar fights sighing and crosses her legs up on the couch, resting her laptop on her crossed legs and keeps searching up anime, occasionally opening up a text document to write the anime names in. Half listening to Lucifer's music while she finds anime/browsing anime merchandise.
Lucifer bites on a potato chip.
Lucifer: "Hey Skylar can u get me these?"
He turns his laptop to you and continues to eat.
Lucifer: "I gotta get more trackers, new headphones, and a TV. Maou is such a boring person, and Ashiya always bugs me. I gotta distract myself when I go back home tomorrow ya know!"
Skylar: "Okay. Lemme have your laptop for a minute, and I'll buy them."
Skylar takes his laptop and buys the stuff, passing the laptop back and going back to her own.
Lucifer: "Sweet!"
Lucifer realized that even when Skylar isn't that rich, she still buy him such expensive things.
Lucifer: "Hey Skylar, aren't you gonna be in a debt?"
Skylar: "Probably. But I'll be fine.. . maybe. I've just got this online job where anime makers pay me to advertise their anime or something. It's working out so far, and plus, I find a lot of anime I might watch..
"Lucifer: "Huuuuh that's really decent. Well anyways I hope they get shipped by tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."
Lucifer gets up but then pauses.
Lucifer: "Wait, Skylar, let me ask you...."
He approaches her and placed his hand on her head.
Lucifer: "Why aren't you acting all mad and upset like Maou? I'm literally wasting your cash and you're totally cool with it.."
Skylar seems surprised at Lucifer's touch and looks up at him.
".. Well, as long as I have friends and a family member that love me, money doesn't mean anything. I can go bankrupt, lose my job and become homeless but I'll still have you, Maou, Ashiya, Emi, Chiho and maybe even Sariel as long as he stops being some weird perverted angel.. So yeah. That's why I don't care if you waste my money."
Lucifer: "Huh...."
Suddenly, he smirks, a very not-so-Lucifer smirk.
Lucifer: "I pity you, you know."
Lucifer then transformed his appearance, revealing that he is none other than...
Raguel: "It's me! Perhaps this might explain who the mysterious split personality trigger huh?"
(By the way, Raguel is a Canon character in Part Timer. Just at the light novel though :P hataraku.wikia.com/wiki/Raguel)
Skylar seems surprised but smirks back.
"Ah, I guess that does explain it. I was getting a little worried about him, there, I never guessed you would have been the one to do it. Long time no see, Raguel. Then again I guess I haven't been in heaven since I was what, five? Time flies. .. But why would you pity me? I'm curious."
She stops smirking and tilts her head, with a quizzical expression on her face, a little bit of amusement showing too.
Raguel's wings flutters against the air of Skylar's living room, as he floats in midair with a slight giggle.
Raguel: "Ah, I am one of the many angels sent here by the name of Ignora; I am certain you recognize that name?"
He turns his back on her.
Raguel: "I mean, she's your mother. There is a reason why we want him back~"
Skylar: "Hmm.. I guess you could have him back.. . But I wouldn't just give him to you ya know. I'm not the type of person who just gives away their brother.."
Raguel places his feet on the floor, his wings stop flapping.
Raguel: "Well if that's the case, I'm surprised you haven't panicked over the fact that your brother's missing.."
Skylar: "Hmm.. I was getting to the worried he's missing part.. . kind of getting over shock..."
She starts to get up, and puts her hand in her hoodie pocket in case she needs the dagger she always keeps in her pocket in case she needs to threaten Raguel with it.
"So tell me exactly where he is or else."
Raguel starts to fly towards the door.
Raguel: "Haha....about that, honestly I'm only a pawn that serves Ignora. While I don't know specifically where Lucifer is, I think..."
He pauses and suddenly zooms out the door.
His voice echoed in the night.
Raguel's voice: "Catch ya laterrrrrrrrr.."
Skylar: "You think..?"
Skylar sighs and sits back down, taking her hand out of her pocket and taking her phone out of her other pocket, looking for Maou's number.
She finds it and rings it, waiting for him or maybe Ashiya to pick up.
Maou picks the phone up almost immediately.
Maou: "Oh god Skylar, it's pretty late. Ashiya is telling me some crazy stuff about sensing some wrong auras...how come I can't?"
Ashiya: "My lord I beg of you! This is not usual!"
Maou: "Perhaps Lucifer's split personality is active? R u OK?"
Skylar: "Yeah, I'm fine, but speaking of Lucifer, I'm pretty sure he's been kidnapped by angels so they can take him back to Ignora. That Lucifer we were dealing with was Raguel as him, I think? Hence the multiple personalities. "
Ashiya: "R-Raguel? That would be an explanatory reason as to why chills have been going down my spine!"
Maou: "Oh crap...if the Lucifer we handled back at the school was Raguel the whole time, that means...."
Maou calculates the amount of time Lucifer was gone inside his head for a few seconds.
Maou: "Skylar it's been more than 12 hours! We need to find him now! I know it's late again, but if you could, please meet me here."
Skylar: "I'll come, I don't mind. I'll be around in maybe 5 minutes? Cya then."
She puts the phone down and pulls on some shoes, running (YOLO!!) to Maou's.
Maou opens the door as soon as he heard the loud thumping on the staircase.
Maou: "Gee Skylar, I didn't know you get loud over the stairs..."
Ashiya: "My lord, this is no time to bicker! It is our duty to find where Lucifer is..."
Skylar: "Pfft, well do you want me to suddenly stop at the stairs and walk up them calmly and tiptoeing all quiet after running all the way here? Anyway, Ashiya is right. Lucifer's missing! Some angels stole him for Ignora... I think. I'm not really taking Raguel seriously..."
Maou: "Ignora? Why that..."
Maou begins to go through the room to grab props and tools needed for the search.
Ashiya: "I recognize that name. It is the name of Lucifer's mother. Miss Skylar, did Raguel tell you any useful information?"
Skylar: "He said he doesn't know where Lucifer is, he's one of the many angels sent here by Ignora, that surely I should know the name Ignora because she's my own mother, him pretending to be Lucifer explains the personality change and... oh yeah, there is a reason they want him back.."
Maou: "Ignora is your mother...I have a vivid memory of that angel gradually unveiling her dark side and dull personality after she realized what Lucifer had done.."
Ashiya: "Lucifer's past is what you consider a tragedy; somewhat for his parents and the division of angels and demons."
Maou: "Anyways-"
He finished packing and pushes bags in front of the trio.
Skylar: "Yep. . well, let's go then, I want my brother back!"
Ashiya: "My lord..."
He yawns.
Ashiya: "Are you certain that...we cannot postpone the search till the morning? If we were to scurry off at such a posthaste at the wee hours right this instant, I do not know if our human bodies can manage..."
He yawns again as Maou looks to Skylar, giving her a look as if he doesn't know whether they should go now or later.
Skylar: "Hmm.. I guess we could start in the morning. . yeah, sure."
Maou grumbles.
Maou: "If I knew we would start by tomorrow, I wouldn't have to pack everything up so quickly..."
Ashiya: "Well I say, my lord, you were the one who acted without thinking the options we have."
Maou: "I guess. Well I'm gonna nap. I might not have work tomorrow, but I'm still very tired."
Skylar: "Yah, I'm tired too. Imma just take my regular sleeping corner and be dead to the world. Night."
She goes to the corner of the apartment she always ends up sleeping in and falls asleep nearly instantly after curling up.
The next morning, Ashiya is the first to be awake. Looking around, he noticed Maou is missing.
Ashiya: "Miss Skylar AAAAAAH!! Please be awake this instant! My lord is missing!!!"
