Who: Satan, Metatron
When: Thursday
Where: Metatron's home
What: "Ugh. Feelings."

When Satan was having some particularly strong emotion that he couldn't express to Lucifer or the demons (essentially, anything besides glee, smugness, or rage), he had precisely one person that he pestered. But honestly, Metatron should be used to pestering by now. He was the Voice of God, his head was full of noise all the time. Plus, Satan liked Metatron, so being around him wasn't a chore.

(And if Satan was hoping that their Father might chime in with the location of his missing grandson and Antichrist, well...no need to express that aloud.)

So he appeared on Metatron's couch, stretched out as if he'd been dozing there for hours. "I'm unhappy, Metatron."

The Voice stopped Satan's fury in its tracks, and he slumped down to the floor. Leaning back against the couch, he stared at Metatron, eyes wide.

"Father?"

"Yes, that was Him." He sighed. He liked to get a message rather then just being overwritten like that. But when God needed to speak, He spoke. Metatron could let Him at times, but otherwise it happened like that.

He focused for a moment, "He says that it is all you needed to hear. I hope it helped."

Satan's first thought was angry, an indignant 'The first words You speak to me in months and its some reprimand about humans? But unlike most of his anger, he couldn't hold onto this for long. He just breathed out a long, deep breath, taking a moment to hold fast to the fact that his Father had spoken at all.

"I'm sorry I threw the glass at your head," Satan murmured, in lieu of discussing what God had said.

He waved his hand, "it's alright. You owe me a glass." He couldn't really be angry at Satan. He forgave rather easily. "Just, try and listen alright? I know you do your duty, but there is a limit on it all."

Satan let his head fall back against the couch cushion.

"I'm tired of being here, Metatron," Satan said, in a rare moment of total honesty. "I want to go home."

He just smiled at Satan, knowing what perhaps Satan denied. But he was not cruel either, "so do I Satan. Although I feel torn. I will always have a dobule life. And now my father is here, and it makes it worse. I wish to be around my family, but I have my duties. It is hard."

"If the world would end, I'm sure you'd be less torn," Satan said tiredly. "And oh, your family. It will be a miracle if they don't fall to murdering each other again."

He just let out a long sigh, "there is no cause for being so cruel Satan." His voice was quiet, and he said no more then that but he felt his point was made.

I like how he tosses that 'No offense' in there.

Satan let out another sigh. "Sorry." Voice closer to a whine than he would have ever admitted. "I just hate humans so much. No offense."

Naws Satan <3

He shrugged, "yet you come to one who was once like them." He smiled then and brushed everything away. No need to continue being angry at Satan. The Adversary was just lashing out. "It's alright. Can I get you anything?"

"Hey, no offense, I just think your species should be exterminated."

"You're better than them," Satan said, offering Metatron something that might have been a smile, under better circumstances. He brushed off Metatron's offer with a shake of his head. "And too nice for your own good."

'Please have a cookie :|'

"I think that comes with the package, and I am still like them. Partially. Like the Saints I gained something new." He shrugged, never sure how to explain that.

[identity profile] ancientserpent.insanejournal.com 2013-01-04 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
"What you gained was much better than their party tricks."

Satan stood up, stretching and letting the bones of his back crack loudly as he did. The stretch bent him backwards much farther than most human spines could go, but that was the benefit of being a shapeshifter.

"Thank you for your reassurances, anyway."

He didn't go into that argument. He disagreed. He'd achieved nothing any other human could not. Metatron had just dared ask for something he knew needed to be filled.

He rose and smiled, "you're quite welcome. Any time Satan, I mean that." He'd never warded his home for that reason. He felt all things we welcome in his home. "Next time, let me know and I'll set some tea on."

[identity profile] ancientserpent.insanejournal.com 2013-01-04 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Bah, tea," Satan said, waving a hand dismissively. "I prefer wine."

And with that less than polite goodbye, he vanished from Metatron's home.
