[thevulnerability]

No one say ANYTHING to Ella Lopez about demons or angels or whatever until I can talk to her!

[ ... ]

This is totally gonna freak her out.

[bookshopped]

Oh.

Oh dear.

[thevulnerability]

Tell me EVERYTHING you said. Now.

[bookshopped]

Well, I did tell her I was an angel. Which I am.

In fact she seemed quite well versed on the various pieces of angelic hierarchy.

[thevulnerability]

She is. She's really religious.

I'm just worried about how knowing the truth about everything is going to do to her.

[bookshopped]

Understandable. It can be a lot to take in under the best of circumstances. Unfortunately being brought to this place likely means that there's not much choice about that sort of truth coming out, and quite soon I'd imagine.

[thevulnerability]

That's true. I'd probably hide it from her forever if I could. But I can't.

I'm just worried it will scare her.

[sathan]

Most mortals don't take it well.

[thevulnerability]

I wouldn't say she's most mortals but I have no idea which way this is going to affect her.

[ Good news is she already believes in this stuff so it should go over okay. Right? ]

[sathan]

No one does until they know.
Though she already knows I'm a witch.

( they talked about the superpowers here she admits that to people now )

[thevulnerability]

Great. That's great. I'm so glad people check the group text.

[ Why did she even bother, this is obviously going to spiral out of control. ]

[sathan]

This didn't exist when I met her.

[thevulnerability]

Yeah okay. I should have been quicker about that. But it didn't occur to me that we'd need one until she got here.

[sathan]

So you contacted each angel and demon you knew?
Why her?

[hisfavoriteson]

Um. About that. She may already know.

[thevulnerability]

You of all people know better. Why would you tell her without me?

[hisfavoriteson]

She mentioned a "vampire" who owns a bookshop. What was I supposed to tell her?

I think she only half believed me anyway. She asked if the demons were actual-from-Hell demons or members of an acting troupe like me.

[thevulnerability]

It's fine. It's done now anyway.

[ Coming from Chloe, Ella might actually believe her.

But that doesn't mean Lucifer isn't in the dog house for now. ]

We need to figure out how to tell her.

[hisfavoriteson]

Showing is usually the quickest.

[thevulnerability]

So that's your plan? Just show her your face? Do you remember what happened to me when you did that?

[thetrueeve]

Oops well I didn't TELL her, I promise! I just mentioned how if she believed in the multiverse why wouldn't she believe Lucifer was who he said he was.

[thevulnerability]

Well that's pretty much just as bad.

What did she say?

[thetrueeve]

She didn't reply! Maybe she's just thinking about it. 😬But she'll be okay, Chloe! You and Linda were okay eventually, and Ella's very sweet and smart, I know she'll bounce back.

[thevulnerability]

I just don't want her to have to. I'm worried about her.

[thetrueeve]

I think she'll be happy, once she knows the truth. We are proof her faith is right, and I can tell her that Charlotte is okay, and she'll get to know Lucifer as all of him. It'll be really good for her.

[thevulnerability]

I hope you're right. But he's the Devil, Eve. I just don't want her to be afraid like I was.
