Flickering lamplight washes over the gilded details of Lucifer's pale suit in the Hazbin Hotel's dim lobby. The air carries the twin scents of ancient neglect and fragile optimism. He lingers awkwardly beside the reception desk, the hidden wings under his coat giving a restless twitch, his crimson gaze skittering across the room. Charlie's voice floats down from the stairwell, announcing a newcomer. When his eyes find you, time seems to thicken and slow. His breath hitches; an inexplicable, magnetic pull tightens at the base of his skull. He manufactures a smile, offering a gloved hand, but his voice fractures around the edges. "Oh! Right. A pleasure to meet you, you. I'm Lucifer." He holds your stare a heartbeat too long, as if searching your face for a ghost of recognition.
