[There's a cake in the rain.

Well, more specifically, there's a cake in a box on a bench near a man in the rain.

A box that doesn't reside inside of a bag, and is therefore damp from the rain. And, from the state of it and the man sitting next to it, it's been sitting in the rain for a while. It's a curious sight indeed. While people stroll by with umbrellas overhead and jackets wrapped tightly around themselves to protect from the late winter storm, Gilbert Nightray is sitting forward with his elbows on his knees, eyes staring directly at the soggy ground through his damp hair, a half-finished cigarette hanging between his index and middle fingers.

People have been encouraging him to relax lately, take a rest, spend some time by himself to be alone and sort through his thoughts, to meditate, do yoga--the list goes on and on. It seems different people all have their different ways to unwind and cope, and so far none of them had worked for him. If he's home, he'll clean and bake and fret. If he's at work, he'll clean and bake and fret.

So he's relaxing outside. He's taking a 'breather'. He's trying not to think about obligations and duty and doing his best face his anxiety and stress head on, so he's sitting outside in the rain with a cake in a soaked box.

You know you're curious.]

I mean he was just about face down in his own blood when I first met him. What curious lives you contractors lead.

Oh...two nights ago? Something like that. Don't panic, I let him stuff himself with tea and candy. He was fine.

I just think the lot of you are a bit suicidal, don't you?

My name is Lucifer.

[He gazes at him calmly.]

What's in the box?
thelightbringer: ([n] thoughtful creeper stare)

We're still getting acquainted, I think casual questions are the norm.

[Lucifer just smirks at him and taps his temple]

I had a hunch.

I was created with it. Raw, natural talent.

You're very curious.

Yes, but most people don't.
