Gabriel sits there with an uninterested look, as everyone messed around he was stuck there wondering how he was stuck here celebrating a holiday on a figure he wanted to overthrow...Quite embarrassing indeed, yet he just assumed this was for some episode or fan story, meaning after today the people here would forget they were ever buddy buddy with him and he can go back to his job...At least he hoped. He decided to interact with the other humans that were at the party, just to learn a bit more about them.
He examined the place a bit before stopping in front of a room where Adam scolded Jonah, probably for some stupid joke Jonah pulled. "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU SAYING IT'S A DAMN JOKE, IT'S NOT FUCKING FUNNY, JUST LIKE YOU." Jonah only laughed as Adam punched him in the arm. Evelin quickly rushes to shield Jonah while trying to calm Adam down. "Adam calm down...That wasn't a nice thing he did yet the last thing you need to do is get violent with him..." "Why shouldn't I get violent with him? He doesn't listen to words so maybe he'll listen when he's almost knocked into a concussion.."
Mark peaks his head into the room with a calm yet serious look, he had been in the kitchen helping Cesar and his sister Sarah cook food. "You guys...No fighting in my house..." They all turn over to Mark and nod in unison. Gabriel continues to walk around the place aimlessly, not really knowing what to do...He wasn't nervous or shy, far from it, he just found this awkward...He could tell Mark did too as Mark watched him leave from the hallway with a nervous look.
Mark soon approached him and spoke in a low tone of voice. "So...Let me get this straight...You're Lucifer...Straight up the man himself against God...?" Gabriel looks down at the nervous teen before nodding. "Indeed I am...I know you're just as weirded out as I am...This isn't really the type of setting i'd want to find myself in. Especially since Christmas is a day of celebrating the birth of God's son Jesus...At least to people who believe in that..." They stand there in silence, observing each other as people in the house talked and laughed.
Cesar walks beside them and speaks up. "The food is done guys, I already called Sarah's friends and the others to come and eat." Cesar turns over to Gabriel and awkwardly chuckles. "If you want, you and your alternates can eat along with us...!" Gabriel squinted his eyes at Cesar. "Strange of you to offer Lucifer himself to eat with you...Very well then...Seems like some of them like being here anyways." Cesar chuckles again, side eyeing Mark as Mark stared with a slightly confused and nervous look.
"Yeah...Some of them REALLY like being here..." Gabriel noticed how nervous the two got the second they approached him, yet he didn't blame them... "You referring to the alternate mimicking you?" Cesar nods. After the short conversation all of them head to the dinner table where the rest were. Dave, Ruth, and Jonah were the main three at the table cracking the jokes and laughing, Adam, Thatcher, and the Intruder were making small talk and mainly staying to themselves and Sarah was with Evelin and Preacher talking about the current state of the county.
Since Mark and Cesar were the only two that interacted with him the most and the only two humans he was comfortable with he decided to sit next to him. He sat in silence as the others ate and talk, yet a calm voice from behind him snapped him out of his silence. "You didn't get anything to eat?" He turns over to see Toonbriel in the corner with a calm smile. "The main question that should be asked here is why are you in the corner? It's not like there isn't any seats for you to sit in.." Mark turns his attention to the two winged beings. "Yeah, you aren't a bother to us at all, have a seat." Toonbriel waves his hands in front of them and chuckles.
