#LitHodgepodge Virgil is quite prepared! His magic lighter gives him magic and invulnerability. He's quite a weaselly trickster too! He may have a *minor* 👀 thing for a certain angel, though. What bait would you use? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

A four panel comic title "Hell is Work". First Panel - A possessed man and a priest. The priest says "Get Thee Hence Demon". Second Panel - A man in a suit enters and knocks on the door saying "Sorry to interrupt." Third Panel - The businessman says to the priest "I need my expense report approved" and the priest replies "By this poor man? The Devil has him!" Fourth Panel - Businessman says "Of course not! The demon." to which the demon replies "Hey Virgil.”

#Octember I think Geni would consider it tiresome, but Kallista would actually love it. ... a rare instance of something I haven't already planned to have happen! But it inspires me to make it happen 😁

The Oracle. It’s not possible to fight him. He just isn’t where you were aiming. Virgil is, much to my and most other character’s annoyance, almost always right. Except about himself. That’s where the Oracle wins. That and there’s a type of scope The Oracle has no one else has.

I think my Bard/Barbarian (Bardbarian) character in "Talismans" would *love* it. He'd be all about singing Christmas carols, giving gifts to children, and kissing Mommy (and Daddy, if Daddy's into it). Oh, and the milk and cookies, too.

#Octember Bolton is the only one handling this situation with any sort of grace. He's already got a "taking care of everyone" complex, he may as well be responsible for every kid's yuletide cheer, too. But he's dragging everyone else along for sure

#AwesomeCharacters I read this as “Most Correct” and in my head Virgil and The Oracle started a fist fight over it. 🤣 In terms of aim? The Lord of the Flies and Files, Beelzebub (or Bubby to his siblings & Virgil), Director Infernal Technicians. It’s the frog tongue. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

What a WONDERFULLY SILLY question! Peyton has zero interest in being Santa. So let's give this question to Nick Sisco... who'd immediately ditch the naughty/nice list, making all gifts Fae contract-based instead! All mortal children should learn real early that nothing comes for free! #Octember

Here's a maybe slightly out-of-date picture of Nick circa 1888ish, when he spent some time out west in the Americas. As a Tzelanit (shadow fae), he can become incorporeal like cloud of dark grey smoke, but his 'mortal' form is a 5'5" Venetian man (who essentially just passes for Italian-American in the modern day) with long scruffy black hair, stubbly goatee, a cat-like too-wide grin and unnaturally sharp ears. Here he is wearing a cowboy hat, large brown leather duster jacket, white vest and jeans tucked into cowboy boots with spurs. Whilst in the 90s to the modern era, he's probably most comfortable in business-chic and has somewhat tidied-up the unkemptness he assumed whilst on the run in previous centuries.
