BOOK I The Divine Chronicles: The Time Turner

Writer's Dimensional Blockage

Marie was sitting in front of her computer and sighed in frustration.

The cursor on her screen continued to blink incessantly.

She was trying to think of the reasons why she was still suffering her writer's block after receiving a barrage of different visions--only to forget almost immediately as soon as she sat in front of her keyboard.

"Hey," murmured Tanu while he watched Marie in curiosity. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing much," she muttered. "I need to change the way I'm thinking."

Tanu chuckled and tousled her hair playfully.

"Tell you what," he offered. "Why don't we go do something else for a change."

She thoughtfully pondered it while Tanu waited on her answer.

"What do you have in mind?" she inquired before leaning back in her chair.

She spotted Tanu folding a piece of paper into a paper plane before throwing it up towards the ceiling in sheer boredom. He soon caught it and threw the paper plane back towards the ceiling again.

"Oh, I dunno. Too bad you can't play Madden," he joked.

"I also don't have the game," she grinned before catching his plane in her mind and throwing it over his head before he caught it effortlessly with a smile.

"You wouldn't know what the hell you were doing anyways, baby. You know you be spamming them buttons," he laughed.

"I also don't know half the shit you do about football--"

"You don't know shit about football, woman!" cracked up Tanu before throwing his plane at Marie.

She tossed it back to him and stifled a bored yawn.

Marie then leisurely spun around on her chair before a thought came to mind.

"Wanna smoke a bowl?" she grinned.

He laughed.

"We really don't know what to do with ourselves, do we?"

"Ninth gate duty sucks," joked Marie. "Libido is gone. There's no cares in the world. Everybody else is either at training exercises, or on duty or--"

"--Spending a grand of our money on Halloween costumes. Goddamn, woman. I'm gonna need a second job if we keep having all these kids in the astral," joked Tanu.

Just then, another energy telepathically cut in quite humorously after Tanu threw his paper airplane out the window.

Tanu's eyes immediately turned white while Marie giggled. Because she knew who was coming through.

Lucifer: All of that money spent for just one night of the kids begging strangers for candy. And not even the good kind. Why do you think most of us are putting in over-time?

Marie: Hi baby! Mwah!

Lucifer: Hehe...you can do better than that, love. I can feel your kiss from a distance even though I'm at an undisclosed location.

Just then, Marie closed her eyes and kissed her hand.

He immediately felt her warm lips over his and touched his mouth.

Lucifer: That's more like it.

He grinned and kissed her back telepathically.

Marie: Hmm...thank you. Hey, is Michael with you?

Lucifer: Yeah. He's fine now. He got the photos from the kids, trying out their Halloween costumes, and it changed his mood back to normal. So now he's just an asshole instead of the obnoxiously inconsiderate asshole he's been for the last few days. How DO you know how to piss him off like that, woman? I tried to get a rise like that out of him for centuries and all I got from him were snide remarks.
