[ the real tragedy is that nick probably could have found him, with a scrap of faith in his own abilities, but he absolutely hates to try anything he might not naturally be good at. instead he lazily wanders the halls with the snake guiding his way, and by the time he's turned several halls nick is feeling quite fond of the whole system. maybe he'll try to figure out a way to recreate it.

at any rate, it doesn't take long to track lucifer down. nick twists his hand, watches the snake slither along the skin of his fingers to always point towards its north star, before he approaches with an easy smile. nick already sells faintly like weed and magic, something of a default state for him, but fresher, more recent, a dead giveaway for what he's been spending his afternoon doing. ]

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who gets lost here, because so many people seem to have a system I was starting to think I was the only one.

[ a.k.a. hi, hello, et cetera. ]
