All right, it's share time. Here's some "get to know you" questions. Feel free to answer any or all. Then ask each other new ones you come up with.

1. Who is one person you admire from your world? Historical figure, celebrity, friend or relative - anyone. And why?

2. What's a fond childhood memory you have?

3. What's your hidden talent? The thing you're good at that others might not be aware of.

4. What animal would you be, and why?

Have fun!

I've always had friends.

[dealwiththe]

Ever have a best friend?

[smugreport]

Yeah. Vaughn.

[dealwiththe]

What sort of person is Vaughn?

[smugreport]

Is this information gonna be used against me later? I want a disclaimer or something.

[dealwiththe]

It won’t.

How would it be used against you, anyway? “Oh that Rhys, you know his friend named Vaughn, and…” then what? Everyone makes fun of you for having a friend?

[smugreport]

I don't know, maybe you'll print a foam version of him if I give you too many details, and have it make that noise whenever I have an idea you guys don't like.

[ You know. That noise. And then he'd give Rhys that look... ]

[dealwiththe]

I think one foam person is one too many foam people on board this little vacation liner.

[smugreport]

Alright...I better not wake up with foam Vaughn's watching me sleep.

He was

A lot of things? He was my main wingman, and my hypeman, and my yesman. And I don't know what happened to him.

[dealwiththe]

He sounds like someone you relied on for a lot of things.

Why don’t you know what happened to him?

[smugreport]

I mean, he relied on me for a ton of things too! I was the front runner of our little operation back on Helios. He would have never gotten as far as he did without me.

[ He'd also not have gotten into the deep amount of shit he did without Rhys.... ]

Uh, it's a long story. But last I heard from him he'd escaped being some bandits hostage. Then a lot of stuff happened and I didn't know how to contact him, or if he's even still alive.

[dealwiththe]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[ That last bit is actually potentially some useful knowledge - but not to use against Rhys. Lucifer wonders vaguely what Rhys would be willing to do for information about his friend. Good things obviously. ]

I'd be upset, if my best friend was in trouble and I didn't know how to reach her.

[smugreport]

He's probably fine. He was a trooper.

[ He most definitely wasn't. Vaughn could be scared of his own shadow on a good day, and even with his washboard abs the dude wasn't a trained fighter. But its a better thought than imagining him dead.]

[dealwiththe]

I'm sure you're right.

[ Lucifer has no clue, of course, what sort of person Vaughn is or if he'd be capable of getting himself out of trouble, but that sounds like the most reassuring thing to say. ]

Maybe there's a way you could make sure he's okay.

[smugreport]

If I couldn't find him when we were on the same planet, how am I supposed to find him when we're probably in different galaxies?

[dealwiththe]

The Navarch could probably do it. But that would require you confiding in a warden, I suppose.

[smugreport]

I'm already talking to you, aren't I?

[dealwiththe]

If you’d like me to, I can bring it up with her. I can’t promise she’ll actually be willing to help, but I can ask.

[smugreport]

That would actually be pretty cool.

[ He could use some good news. But if Vaughn's dead...]

Don't tell me if it turns out he's dead though.

[dealwiththe]

So noted. I'll give it a shot.
