Lockdown preplay

[seaoftroubles]

I can post the whole write-up so far if you'd like, or we can just roll with Evi showing up in Hell. You've seen the episode, Evi tries to get answers for Duke because she feels guilty, gets shot, and dies in his arms. We've added a bonus bit of Evi using a kid's trouble to try to remind Duke of how much he'd loved her, only for it to backfire and get Octavia her Blodreina catharsis instead. I'm thinking Evi's Hell is a replay of that.

The format we used for Eleanor seemed to work, so let's do that again! Evi talks to Lucifer in Hell, then the demon heads to Haven to yell at Duke (while he's locked in a jail cell because I am meeeeeean).

"What you are doing here appears to be getting locked in jail cells to protect you against your own suicidal impulses," Murus said, sounding bored. "I do not understand why Lord Morningstar bothers to invest such resources in watching you at all, but it is not my place to question it."

Nobody wanted to end up the way Dromos had for the past two thousand years.

"This is one time --" Duke brandished his finger in Murus's face -- and found himself looking in those cold, dead eyes. He flinched back violently. "I don't expect you to understand." He'd have hoped Lucifer would understand, but apparently that was too much to ask of the King of Hell. "Fine. Message received you can go tell Lord Morningstar that the guy who ditched his favorite human is still an idiot."

He was railing at a demon. Murus's kind wasn't exactly known for empathy or understanding. Or figuring out when their boss was hiding 'frantic worry' by barking orders.

"I don't know how you humans get anything done with all these irrational and unnecessary emotions," Murus said.

Then Evi's body crumpled to the floor.

“Yeah. Me neither.”

Duke crouch led down to arrange Evi with a bit more dignity. He considered offering her a few words but — she was in Hell. Getting what she deserved.

There was nothing more to say.

He stood and went to go find Nathan.”
