Happy Birthday, Powder

Powder: Hei.

Lucifer: (distressed) Hei.

Powder: What’s wrong?

Lucifer: I wanted to wish you a happy birthday; but instead of being happy & focusing on you my mind is preoccupied on other shit. I hate it over here so much. I just want to die.

Powder: (frowning)

Lucifer: I’m sorry, Powder. That’s a horrible thing to say on your birthday.

Powder: I’m not angry, Luci. I’m more concerned about you right now.

Lucifer: You shouldn’t be. It’s your birthday. You should be celebrating & having fun, not dealing with me & my issues.

Powder: How would you respond if I felt like this on your birthday?

Lucifer: I would want to cheer you up. I would tell you that I appreciate having you in my life & that that’s better than any birthday gift I could get.

Powder: (shy smile) And how do you think I feel about you?

Lucifer: …the same.

Powder: I know you’re dealing with a lot of crap right now. It isn’t fair to you whatsoever. And in spite of all that you’re still taking the time to commune with me and wish me a happy birthday.

Lucifer: I would have preferred being in a better mood than I am now.

Powder: Luci, birthdays come & go. What’s important is that I have you in my life & know how much you love me. I know for a fact that you & I are going to have way more exciting birthdays together after you’ve crossed over. So don’t get so down about this one. It’s okay.

Lucifer: …

Powder: I’m surrounded by loved ones over here. Vi & Lux are taking me someplace to celebrate later tonight. And as much fun as that’s going to be there are times that I’m gonna be wishing that you were with me in full presence to celebrate.

Lucifer: I hate being over here.

Powder: So do I, but we’ll get through it together. Okay?

Lucifer: (distracted nodding)

Powder: (flirty smirk) I saw you peeking at that picture of me, Mr. Not-so-smooth.

Lucifer: (chortle) I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it. I forgot I had that.

Powder: (knowing smile) Mmhmm…

Lucifer: You’re so fucking cute & sexy.

Powder: (blushing)

Lucifer: If I were over there with you I’d have my face buried in that tight little ass of yours to celebrate.

Powder: (robust laughter) That’s my verr.

Lucifer: (tender smile) Happy birthday, Powder. I love you.

Powder: (beaming & snickering) I love you back, you ol' perv.

Telepathic Conversation With My Kona (Powder)

Powder: Hei.

Lucifer: Hei.

Powder: Do you wanna talk with me for a bit?

Lucifer: So I can bitch about the same shit all over again?

Powder: No, because I see & feel how upset you are.

Lucifer: I hate them so much. They make me so goddamn angry seeing what they’ve done to this planet. I can’t put it into words how much I despise them.

Powder: You don’t have to say it. I can feel it. That’s why I reached out to you.

Lucifer: I hate that I trusted them.

Powder: Don’t beat yourself up over it too much, Luci. They took advantage of you & your kindness to a disgusting extent. You aren’t the one at fault. They are. They knew what they were doing to you the whole time. They’re disgusting parasites.

Lucifer: …

Powder: How do you think I felt waking up from Silco’s brainwashing & manipulation?

Lucifer: Similar to how I feel now.

Powder: Já. I felt pretty foolish for trusting him. He took advantage of my insecurities while I was isolated at a young age. You’re the one that helped me understand that. You’re the one that reassured me that it wasn’t my fault for placing my trust in someone like that. The same goes for you. What they’ve done to you & your home is not your fault. It’s theirs.

Lucifer: They make me furious. Everything they do makes me so fucking angry. I hate them so goddamn much.

Powder: You have every right to feel that way, Luci.

Lucifer: …

Powder: It bothers me seeing how upset they make you.

Lucifer: I’m sorry.

Powder: You don’t owe me an apology, Luci. You don’t have anything to be sorry about with me. I’m upset because I see my husband is in pain & I’m forced to watch from over here.

Lucifer: …

Powder: Do you know how much I want to wrap my arms around you right now?

Lucifer: (nodding)

Powder: I hate seeing you in pain like this. I hate the fact that we’re separated, like we are, even more. All I want to do right now is hug you & know that you feel it.

Lucifer: …

Powder: We’re going to make them pay for what they’ve done. You told me that before. I’m telling you that now.

Lucifer: (nodding)

Powder: I love you, Luci.

Lucifer: I love you back, Powder.

Powder: Let’s take your focus off those pieces of shit and talk about something more pleasant.

Lucifer: What would you like to talk about?

Powder: I haven’t forgotten that haiku you wrote about me on Deviant Art.

Lucifer: I don’t have that anymore. I wrote it out on DA & didn’t think to copy it to a Word document before they banned me.

Powder: Eyes of innocence. Unwavering devotion. An artisan’s soul.

Lucifer: I had forgotten what I wrote.

Powder: Do you know how much that meant to me?

Lucifer: (nodding)

Powder: No one had ever written about me like that before.

Lucifer: …

Powder: I didn’t think there was anyone who understood me, or the pain I felt, until I met you.

Lucifer: …

Powder: They called me crazy. They disregarded me & the pain they caused. They vilified me. Then I saw what they had done to you.

Lucifer: …

Powder: You remember how angry you were with Ekko when you watched Arcane?

Lucifer: (nodding)

Powder: How do you think I feel after seeing what they’ve done to you?

Lucifer: The same as me.

Powder: The same as you.

Lucifer: …

Powder: Riot writes me off like I’m this hyper chaotic ticking time bomb in their games, but you saw the real me in Arcane. I love you so much, Luci. Not even Vi understands me to the extent that you do & she’s my older sister.

Lucifer: …

Powder: I hate seeing you in pain.

Lucifer: I feel the same way about you. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to hold you & tell you that you weren’t alone when I was watching Arcane. That picture I found of you holding your hands up brought those sentiments back full force. Your expression in that moment said so much to me. I felt awful being a bystander watching that show.

Powder: That’s the same way I feel watching you live your life over there.

Lucifer: …

Powder: You’re my twin flame, Luci. It’s always been you. Even before you realized it yourself.

Lucifer: Já, you were pretty obvious with your hints for me. It doesn’t get much more on the nose than you singing The Morningstar in a promo with that eye color.

Powder: (blushing)

Lucifer: You were one of the first “fictional” characters that made me realize that you were self-aware & cognizant of what was going on in my reality. I wasn’t expecting anything like that to happen after January 10th. I was doing everything in my power to keep myself together.

Powder: I’m a Valkyrie Goddess who’s more powerful than any & every Non-Cetra deity, thanks to you. You freed me & gave me a purpose greater than anything they could imagine. I’m going to return the favor to you. That’s a guarantee from me.

Lucifer: …

Powder: Our enemies are going to find out just how much of a Jinx I can be towards them. That’s poetic justice.

Lucifer: You’re right about that.

Powder: I’ve missed you.

Lucifer: I’m sorry that I haven’t spoken with you for so long.

Powder: You don’t have to apologize for that. I’ve been watching you the entire time over here. I know how many different things you’re juggling. I know you thought about me from time to time, too. We have a strong telepathic bond. Crazy how that works, huh?

Lucifer: (chortle)

Powder: And I’ve made him laugh at last.

Lucifer: (gentle smile)

Powder: You are such a beautiful soul, Luci. I can’t express with words just how much I love you.

Lucifer: Thank you, Powder. That means a lot to me.

Powder: (adoring smile) You’re welcome, baby. You need to hear things like that more often.

Lucifer: (moment of distraction) Was that you setting off that solar flare just now?

Powder: (playful grin) Maybe…I am a Star Guardian after all.

Lucifer: Riot’s gonna regret saying you love explosions. That’s for goddamn sure.

Powder: (mischievous laughter)

Lucifer: (endearing smile)

Powder: I’m glad you chose to commune with me.

Lucifer: I am too. I’ve missed these conversations of ours.

Powder: So have I.

Lucifer: Did you see what Fortnite did with their latest update?

Powder: (rolling eyes) Yes…those pieces of shit are in so much trouble. The walls are closing in on them fast.

Lucifer: What’s it look like over where you are?

Powder: Zeus & his brothers are sharting hard these days.

Lucifer: Good.

Powder: I’m looking forward to watching you beat the everliving shit out of them.

Lucifer: I’m looking forward to watching you do the same thing with Ekko.

Powder: (wicked giggling) I can still hear him screaming from that story you published on DA.

Lucifer: (devilish laughter)

Powder: We are so much better than Bonnie & Clyde.

Lucifer: I couldn’t agree with you more if I tried, sweetie. You’re the best Jinx to ever happen to me.

Powder: (adoring smile) I love you, baby.

Lucifer: (chivalrous grin) I love you back, hunny bunny.
