[ given you all were having a party he sure as hell is not inside the bar itself for a while. but anders can find him there much later when people have cleared out and everything's quiet again. there's no music this time, just a god with his wings out and back to the door, arms folded over his chest as he stares at nothing in particular with a cigarette in his mouth. ]
Hello, Anders. [ does not turn around. just seems to know the guy's there. ]
[ ... well. treating him like normal actually seems to work because he turns around and reaches into his pocket to pull out a carton. taps out an extra cigarette and offers it to him. ]
[ he's god, effectively, but he still looks pretty impressed with the little palm of fire. ]
Pretty sure I wasn't invited, man. I don't gatecrash anymore. [ he did just evict himself from his own house for several hours so people could party without having to think about his presence and finally just came home. ]
I'm fairly certain an invitation from Yves would include everyone, including this so-called Satan, if they wanted to show up.
[ but he gets it. feeling a little awkward at the moment. ]
... It was nice. I don't attend many parties. And then here, we seem to have them fairly regularly. A strange thing to experience after already being dead.
[ he can hear things people say to each other around the neighborhood as god, and so he can. absolutely hear the vibes of others. even yves can't save them now. ]
If Yves can get in touch with Satan when I can't, I'll be impressed. [ annoying... but his expression does soften a little with that. ]
... I'm glad though. A strange experience, but at the same time just because you're dead I don't think that means you stop making memories. The afterlife still has the word "life" in it. Parties are good that way.
[ he would beam the invitation to hell with the power of true love. ]
I suppose in a sense, no matter what happens in regards to Saturday, I will remain "dead." At least the version of myself that existed before. Everyone I've ever known that wasn't here will consider me dead. The world will consider me dead.
[ nodding along because yeah... mood. but he's taking a drag before asking an important question. ]
So how do you feel about that? If everyone thinks of you as dead, you have no moral obligation to go back to a place that didn't treat you well. On the other hand, it was still home.

You didn't want to join us? Have someone say Never Have I Ever Been God and force you to drink?
