[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.

[sathan]

Most mortals don't take it well.

[thevulnerability]

Tell me EVERYTHING you said. Now.

[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.

[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]

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.

[thevulnerability]

She is. She's really religious.

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

[sathan]

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

[hisfavoriteson]

Um. About that. She may already know.

[thevulnerability]

She's my best friend. And she believes in all of this. I'm worried about how she'll take it.

[sathan]

( ugh a believer in the false god )

If she already believes it exists it won't be too surprising.

[thevulnerability]

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

[thevulnerability]

That's not the point. Believing and knowing aren't the same thing.

[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.

[sathan]

Did you believe?

[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.

[thevulnerability]

No. I never believed in any of it.

[ She hesitates in sending the next text, but she does anyway. ]

I didn't believe but I think a part of me knew.

[sathan]

You knew?

[hisfavoriteson]

Showing is usually the quickest.

[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]

Part of me. Somehow. I can't explain it.

I just knew Lucifer wasn't lying, but I didn't want to hear the real truth.

[thevulnerability]

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