So is now one of your busy months or do you actually have time to write?

Of course. At the same time, our sensibilities are pretty compatible.

I meant to say "Tell me about it" but apparently my phone had something different in mind

We probably need to collaborate on something one day, considering we feel better in different areas. You can weave the plot, I'll do the characters

Reklam me avoit it

We should brainstorm a way to avoid the frustration

Yeah, but it's always those busy months that the best ideas pop into mind

Yeah, it can happen with bigger projects like that. I can relate

It's a bit of a shame you didn't do individual brackets for the summons

I tend to be the opposite of that. Most of my stories are character-driven and thus I have very distinct voices for them in my head that are sometimes really hard to transfer to paper. Still, I think my main struggle is that half of my narration sentences are basically "As I did X, Y was happening." I'm working on that though.

As for Lucifer - where do I begin? First of all, his appearance - he looks like a pretentious hipster with an undercut and a curled mustache and a tattoo sleeve. He also starts off far less imposing, although there is an eerie aura about him.

So basically, he starts off as a Lucifer who is like "smurf it" after so many attempts to overthrow God and he decides yo spend some time on Earth mingling with humans. He's pretentious, hedonistic, and kind of a troll, but also has a very magnetic personality. But later on, as he notices the potential in the protagonists, he decides to try to seize this opportunity and do the usual thing for him. So he's kinda very out of character at first, but there's a reason for it, and then he kinda develops back to his more standard persona.

Although the big stuff with him won't happen until much later, he'll be present throughout the story from pretty early on. The brothers will encounter him both in the regular world and the Dark Realm, which will be their first clue to who he really is. He gets along very well with Jack, the Summoner (who is a bit Chaos-leaning from the start), from the very beginning, but Benny, the kinda sorta half-demon brother (who starts out Law-leaning), is repelled by him from the getgo since he's pretty averse to demons in general and can see right through him, but they still keep bumping into him and he's often a valuable, if enigmatic, source of knowledge.

At least, that's what I have in mind for now - who knows where all this goes in the long run, if it takes off at all!

I also have Louis Cyphre planned into the story. Of course, it's a completely different take on the character, one that I think might be controversial for fans, but I think it fits what I need him to be

I used to feel I did good dialogue, but now I kinda cringe looking back. It's really hard to get right. Though I think everything around dialog is even worse in that regard
