"Interesting request, but sure." Scipio made his way to the hot springs. "How the hell did a frog even get in here?" He caught the frog and brought it back to Lucifer. "So are you wanting to keep this, or…?"
"Interesting request, but sure." Scipio made his way to the hot springs. "How the hell did a frog even get in here?" He caught the frog and brought it back to Lucifer. "So are you wanting to keep this, or…?"
"Dunno, I thought you might want it. It'll give you something not to kill. That damn frog is a pest. He always gets out because no one does shit about it. So you take it." Lucifer didn't look up from his work.
"Uh… alright, I guess." Scipio looked down at the frog. "Is there something else I'm supposed to do or just the frog thing?"
"Tell the cooks to make me something. Then go to your room or the springs. I don't care." He shrugged. "Just don't do something violent."
"Cool. Bye, I guess." Scipio waved and went to the kitchen, relaying the message before heading to his room to figure out where he was supposed to house this frog.
The frog stared at the human who captured it the whole time, staring at it with its toady eyes. It croaked slowly– confirming that it was a toad, not a frog– almost squinting at the human but not moving.
"Hey, man." Scipio set the toad on the dresser. "So like, can toads talk in hell? Do you have a name?"
The toad croaked slowly again, hopping a little to get comfortable again. It looked kind of upset that it was taken from its new, warm home in Lucifer's personal springs.
"Guess not… Oh well. Apparently I'm supposed to not kill you, so it's your lucky day." Scipio watched the toad curiously.
The toad seemed to be croaking at a regular pace, now, because every so often the silence would be broken by its angry croaks. It jumped down from the dresser, suddenly, landing fine and hopping over to the door quickly. But to its dismay, the door was shut.
Scipio went and picked up the toad again, setting it back on the dresser. "I'll have to get a terrarium or something for you… Do you need to eat or are you like, a dead toad that doesn't need to eat?"
The toad squealed like a fucking Demon incarnate as it was lifted up, looking angrier when it was set back down. It hopped back down, but only flopped into Marcus' chest. It glared up at him with his angry toad eyes, not really able to answer.
Scipio picked up the toad again. "Angry little fucker, aren't you? Well, you've met your match. Don't try anything because I'm not afraid to kill you."
The toad wriggled in Scipio's hands, squealing even louder, which made a concerned servant walk in.
"You alright man? Oh, Lucifer made you get the toad out, huh? Well, there's no use trying to keep him. You might as well return him."
"No, I'm dedicated now. This little fucker better get used to me, cause I'm more stubborn than he could ever be." Scipio maintained eye contact with the toad, asserting dominance. "You got a terrarium or something? Also, do you know if he needs to eat?"
"Damn man, okay. He definitely needs something to stay in, but nothing too small or he'll get suuper angry and I think he'll break it or something. The size of your dresser would be good. And he eats flowers every so often," The servant informed, as the toad glared at him right back.
"Alright. He can stay in here for now." Scipio put the toad in an empty drawer once it had blinked, refusing to put him down until he won. "I'll find something better later."
"Come on, man, he'll suffocate in there," The other said, walking over and taking it out. "Look, go put it back until you find something better. Just tell Lucifer you're looking for somewhere to put it. He might be in his springs when you go in there, though, so be careful of that."
"Hmm… I'm not very familiar with keeping things alive. I'm far better at killing them. I'll try, anyways." Scipio shrugged, taking the toad in his hands. "Where's Lucy?"
"He's still in his room. I know he just scheduled for another human to be sent in tomorrow, so he might be relaxing before he has to deal with it," The guy said, shrugging. This particular servant's name was Orion, by the way. He was a typical Greek-looking guy with olive skin, pretty broad shouldered and thick in the facial features.
"Alright. What did you do to become a servant, by the way? I'm a psychopath mass murderer, so…" Scipio examined the angry toad curiously.
"Oh, I committed a lot of tax fraud and did a lot of stuff against the government I'm not allowed to say." He shrugged, watching them. "Anyway, I'll let you go at it with Lucifer." He walked out of the room.
"Alrighty." Scipio left the room and found Lucifer's, knocking on the door. "Yo, Lucy? Got a question for you."
Lucifer's voice answered from his springs calling for him to enter, where he was just slipping in. When Scipio entered he rose his eyebrows at the toad.
"What?" He asked as he sat up out of the water, showing off his chest and hips.
"So, you know the toad?" Scipio held it up. "Orion says he'll suffocate in my drawer, so, like… where do I keep him?"
