Hyacinth's Journal

April 1st 2023

Yesterday was apparently transgender day of visibility. Apparently there's a surprising amount of support for trans employees, even if their genders might be ones I've never heard of half of the time.
Also though, I noticed Lucifer was wearing a trans flag patterned tie. He usually doesn't let anyone know about that, though I guess the occasion inspired him or something. He also got me a matching bowtie, which is nice I guess.
If there's one nugget of goodness about him, this would probably be it, though I've heard water cooler talk about how he supports trans wrongs in addition to trans rights. Who knows.
I still need to be prepared for april fool's day.
Also, Nick. be careful with that game you're working on.
The other week, I had to help Lucifer set up for a video conference and I'm pretty sure I heard some familiar voices on the other end of that call. Main thing is just how big his ego is, wanting to disrupt earth c bullshit for the sheer infamy factor, as if he didn't already have enough. I wouldn't be surprised if something gets sent your way in the case that he's not depicted as he wants to be, but who knows. I have a feeling most of it was for show, because even after he got cussed out by June fucking Egbert, he wasn't even mad like he'd usually be.
I'm willing to be he's got a trick up his sleeve. Stay on your toes.

Yesterday was... interesting. Queen Mab showed up unannounced to Lucifer's office and just started absolutely roasting him for his frankly unbusinesslike attitude. After figuring out she was the queen of air and darkness, (and apparently in competition with voidco somehow?) he went a lot more formal than usual. After the meeting, he took the rest of the day off and went back home. When my work for the day got wrapped up, I found my boss asleep on the couch with an almost empty pint of ice cream (cookies and cream flavor in particular), making a melted mess on the carpet. It wouldn't be the first time he's been hit this harshly by criticism, but damn.
I made sure the place was all cleaned up by the time he woke up.
Also of note, Queen Mab also gave him a one time token to visit her court. If his desk didn't have cameras, biometric alarms, and electric shock bullshit on the drawers, I could have grabbed it and used it.
Maybe it's for the best that he uses it though, so he can get destroyed again. Then again, I think Lucifer is too focused on his presidential campaign to want to get grilled again any time soon.
Speaking of that, I've heard reports about that hired assassin group. Apparently they defected yesterday after facing off against a cognitohazard? Be careful out there.

Lucifer has been diagnosed with temporally inconsistent influenza, "time flu" for short.
On one hand, I'm glad he's currently too sick off his ass to boss anyone around, but on the other, I need to make sure he survives this-- for my own sake.
Doctor says that he should have a clear patch on Wednesday, so that's when the upcoming debate has been moved to. Nobody's quite sure where he got it, but Lucifer is deciding to show up to the debate in person, just in case it winds up being korosian in origin.
Looking up vanilla timeline pandemic bullshit from the past few years, I think it'll important to get everyone over there to wear a facemask and use hand sanitizer.
Who knows how many other weird ass diseases he might also have...

It seems things are back to usual over here. Lucifer is fucking pissed about losing the election, especially with such a wide margin!
I gotta say though, everyone that showed up handled that dragon mech like a champ. It was so satisfying watching the fight on TV. I wouldn't be surprised if some department that works on TV shit requests for more televised attacks like that, just for the sheer ratings that it brought to the station.
In case you weren't aware over there, channel 666 is owned and operated by voidco. They sometimes show reruns of a reality TV show that focuses on a bunch of furthest ring refugee players, like the way the lost pawns used to be.

As for Thoren, congratulations on becoming the president of Korous. I hope they don't give you too much shit for fucked up reasons over there, though I guess you must have gained their trust to sweep so much in the polls.

I've received the request in the newsletter. I have a feeling that this mission is going to be the hardest and most important one I ever complete while I'm here. as a result, I'm going to need some time to plan and find a good opening. This is a company practically made of dark secrets, after all.
Also, I can confirm that the Jo-baddies are giving Lucifer a hard time while Johnny is out on forced break.

August 1st, 2023

So, I heard Charles somehow confessed to attempted murder recently? It was in an irc style chat log sent to the top so I'm not sure how much of it was fabricated. Did that have to do with that report about them being hospitalized after threatening Johnny with a sword?
Speaking of things that made Lucifer laugh, he's been wearing a haughty cape with his suit lately, and he's got a DM screen set up at his desk. He's told me that he intends to play dungeons and dragons for real, whatever that means. Apparently it was also delayed by a couple of weeks?
Considering how much involvement he tends to have with voidco dungeons in general, I'd be careful over there. Granted, I know some of the group already has dragons and Thoren was literally considered a Power in another dimension once, but this is worrying me more than usual. maybe it's the sheer nerd factor? Maybe it's the recent rumors of multiple separate trials of a behavior modifying thing out in the field? I'm not even sure at this point.

September 12th, 2023

The past few days have been a fucking mess. Lucifer started taking questions from random-ass people online to fuel his ego and more bullshit than usual has been happening since. Right now he's out of the office after I almost burnt it down, but I'm almost certain he'll be back soon.
Also, what the fuck is his desk made out of? it's entirely intact! I was hoping I could break into his locked drawer but it looks like it still requires security clearance to open.
I can only hope he doesn't hit The Button on me when he returns-- I still haven't found the secrets I'm looking for.
