Lucifer:...How long would you be gone, exactly?
Kane:However long it takes to track down Claire's dad.
Lucifer:I see...and where exactly did you live, Claire?
Claire:O'Fallon, Missouri.
Lucifer:Never heard of it...is that anywhere near Saint Louis?
Claire:About a forty minute drive away, so pretty close.
Bea:Why does that place sound familiar?
Lucifer:I've heard from Azrael that it's-
Kane:The oldest running Catholic church in America? I've always dreamed of visiting that place.
Zeke:...You know what, I don't want to know why.
Kane:I'm gonna burn that place to the ground, and it'll be glorious!
Nova:Nova wants to join!
Kane:Abso-fucking-lutely, Nova!
Nova:Yaaay!
Lucifer:(This is perfect. I can get some peace and quiet with those two not bothering me.) You know what, sure thing. Do you need some funds for the trip? I have some money to spare.
Kane:Sounds good to me, man.
Lucifer:Lovely. Take aaall the time you want. Let me know when you're ready to leave.
Zeke:Hang on! Y-You can't be serious! These two are far too unstable to go back!
Abby:I'll go with them. I'd like a change of scenery.
Claire:I'll go too since I actually remember what my dad looks like.
Zeke:Seriously?! I can't be the only... *sighs*Fine, I'll go, but only to keep these two in check.
Nova:Yaaay! Zekey wants to spend time with Nova!
Kane:Let's get packed, Nova. We're going on an adventure.
Nova:Adventuuure!

Nova and Kane ran off while everyone else stayed in the living room. Kane poked his head into the living room, then pointed at Nyx.

Kane:Don't think I forgot about you getting all cuddly with my sister. I've got my eye on you, dude.
Nyx:...Huh? But only my eyes on me...in me...wait.
Claire:It's an expression, Nyx.
Nyx:What is expression?
Bea:...Sooo, is it just gonna be me and Nyx here for a bit?
Nyx:I'm going with Pretty Lady.
Claire:Sorry, Nyx. The people up there are scary and don't like us. You stay here so you're safe.
Nyx:But I go with Pretty Lady.
Claire:I promise we'll cuddle more when I get back. You just behave for Beatrix, alright?
Nyx:Aww, okay.
Zeke:...Beatrix, do you have anything i could use to keep myself discreet? I don't want to be recognized.
Bea:Don't worry. I've been working on an outfit for Kane because he wants to look cool...okay, multiple outfits.
Zeke:You do realize I'm taller and have a bigger build than him, right?
Bea:I have cloaks and stuff.
Zeke:...That'll do.
Bea:And if you'd like, I could dye your wings black so it's not suspicious.
Zeke:Uhhh, no thanks.
Bea:You sure? (It would definitely hide the black feathers that have been getting more prominent.)
Zeke:I'm certain.
Nova:*faintly*Zekey! Help Nova pack for our trip!
Zeke:...I'm not helping her.
Bea:She's definitely into you, dude.
Lucifer:Please, take her. Maybe you could actually...I don't know, tame her?
Bea:Oh, I forgot that you were still on call.
Lilith:*faintly*Lucy, be nice!
Lucifer:I am!..*sighs*Just tell me when you're all ready.
Zeke:Will do.
Bea:...I'm not gonna lie, I'd honestly love to tag along, but I'll wait until you all go somewhere more scenic.
Zeke:Noted. I'll let you know when Kane wants to cause more mayhem upon the world we used to live in.
Bea:Sweet. Take some pics for me while you're up there.
Zeke:...I feel like you guys ignore what I say.
Bea:We don't. It's just more fun when we don't do what you say.
Zeke:Isn't that pretty similar?
Bea:*shrugs*Maybe.
Kane:Alright, I've got mine and Abby's stuff. She's just getting her robe on.
Bea:Wanna try on any of the stuff I made for you?
Kane:Are any of them done?
Bea:Duh...one of them.
Kane:Aight, lemme try it on, and I'll wear that.
Bea:Go right ahead.

Half an hour later

Kane stepped out of the house wearing a dark gray cloak that looked singed around the hem of it, along with a black, inverted Celtic cross in the center. The armsleeves had a similar look, along with orange upside-down crosses around the rim of the sleeve. Under the cloak was a gray dress shirt and black jeans. Kane chuckled, then pointed at himself with his thumb, a cocky smirk plastered on his face.

Kane:Check me out, bitches! I'm looking Christian as fuck.
Zeke:...You watch too much anime.
Bea:I think he looks cute in it. What about you, Abby?
Abby:*nods*I like it. It's out of place and straight out of a TV show. It's perfect for him.
Kane:Yeah, that's right, baby. I'm...wait, what?
Nova:Nova hates this thing on her!
Zeke:Well, you have horns and look like an actual demon. It's either this or you get attacked on sight.
Nova:Nova will eat the angels!
Zeke:No! Don't eat the angels!
Kane:I feel like I was just insulted.
Abby:I-It was a compliment!
Kane:Really? I'm gonna hope so, cuz I love this.
