[It's not their birthday but Lucifer is too old to care about such things anyway. The things that he considers sentimental and special aren't based in age-old traditions, not anymore anyway.]
Alright, let's sit down. Let me think for a moment...
[Shoves a bite of tiramisu into his mouth, contemplates... what tales can he tell that are appropriate for teenagers? Nothing involving Asmodeus too heavily... oh, but there's—]
Back at our, er, other school, before I came here... there was once a time we had to put on a musical for a book series that Leviathan is particularly fond of and that was, rather ironically, also written by a friend of ours. This naturally required those of us with no musical experience to learn how to sing and dance, which was the majority of it.
Mammon, being the best dancer among us, had to grill us on dance routines... I'd never known him to be such a hardass about things until the moment he was given the freedom to instruct us all in dancing. I believe if I tried it now, I could still do the splits. It's been a while.
Halfway through the production, we had a cast member not from my immediate family leave the production, and the script had to be rewritten slightly. It could have been a disaster of untold proportions had those of us remaining not re-learnt all of our lines and roles practically overnight to prepare for further rehearsals. I had to get in a sword fight with Leviathan for one of our scenes, and Levi can be... I don't want to say a bit of a pushover, since he used to be a navy admiral, but he's not quite as physically strong as I am.
[Lucifer, casually: Yeah my brother was the admiral of Hell's Navy back in the day don't worry about it.]
I wasn't trying to make it into an actual fight, but I don't skimp for realism either. Oh, and... we had to do that entire thing while singing. I've been in sword fights before, but never while dancing and singing...
