Ah, yes. Hello. I'm told you are Lucifer's superior? I'd like to know how I might contact The Maker. Andraste would suffice. I'm afraid there's been some sort of mistake.
Hey. Hey. Is this God? Sup. So like, I don't do this a lot... but hey, I can keep it up all day. AND LOUDLY. So you'd better answer. Let us both get back to more important things, yeah?
[ Maybe unlike others usually trying to reach out, he's not exactly interested in the whys and whatnot. He knows why he's in Hell. He honestly has no argument against it. He also can't really complain about "dying" young because that was always going to be his fate. No, what he wants is information. ]
I just want you to tell me more about Lucifer. Y'know, one of your children? The hot one? Anyway, I was wondering what he's getting out of this. What exactly is it going to take for you to let him out of here?
Hey! I know you're listening! Hey. Pops. Come on. HEEEEEEEYYYYYYY. Answer me!
[The video is literally just a half hour of Dean Winchester flipping God off with both hands. He says nothing, but in his facial expression, it's very clear how mad he is. And yes, he really is that petty that he stands in front of a camera for half an hour holding up two birds.]
Look...I don't know how much I can really have faith in anyone that thinks torture is a proper way to redeem anyone, or change them. In a lot of cases, I'm pretty sure you're just gonna make people worse.
I mean, look at Lucifer. Do you really think punishing him like you did changed anything? Helped anything?
My God is trying to kill my world. Or maybe he already did. Maybe you can answer what Lucifer couldn't. Is my world gone already? Do you even give a shit?
Poe Dameron and Rey. They're good people, and I don't believe that they belong in this place. Everyone's done wrong, and I understand repentance, but their crimes don't suit this punishment. They don't deserve this.
What can I do to get them out? Is there any agreement we can come to?
[ No, he doesn't believe this is legitimate or, if it is, that this God can or will help at all. But Finn's going to try. ]
[He falters in the video, hands coming up to scrub his face.]
You know I'm angry. I'm sure you know that. I know too that I have sinned. I am trying to fix all I am. And I know that I am the true reason that I am here. And I am grateful for the chance to redeem, as I am for that chance being given to others.
But this is wrong. Some of the people here, they don't deserve what pain they have been given. Their sins are results of- of being trapped and having no other way out. You can't ask them to be perfect for what it would cost them. You can't punish them like this when they need your mercy.
Padre, please. I know I have not been faithful as I should have been, but you are still the only father I know. I am begging you for an answer. [His hands come together in prayer.] Please. Please say something. The people here need you, Lucifer needs you, I need you.
Tell me I'm wrong... show me you really do care... please give me some sign that you're not...
[Not just any other cruel being twisting them all to their favor.]
You are not my god, but I am told that you are merciful and good. I do not know if that is true or not. I only know you by your actions, and here there is little mercy and less justice.
The punishments you inflict upon us speak more to your nature than ours.
So if you are good, now is another opportunity to show it. If you wish us to be our best selves, then show it with growth and understanding and compassion rather than violence.
Because if violence is the only language you understand, you are not merciful at all.
And you have no place sitting in judgment on people who would try to be better.
[She knows this is a long shot, all the same, but she's going to try. She doesn't know anyone who has received a response, but they were not angels. Maybe an allowance would be made for one of his own.]
I know that I have made mistakes. That the facade did not understand what was being asked of her, but I wanted to reassure you that I do. If you release me, I swear that I will take my place in the Garden, as was appointed by my father before me.
[That is all that truly matters, isn't it? That she is willing to play her role? She leaves the prayer there, and longs for a response, even if she does not hope for it.]
[After the Mare's attack, Atem recites this prayer every morning.]
I make adoration in God's name I shall declare his power Herald him to those senior and junior Herald him to generations now and still yet to come Herald him to those who knows him not and those who knows him
You are God, the Lord of Heaven Who comes and forgives us at this plea I call to you as I am distressed May you come and forgive us You are God, Righteous Father Who forgives us in the cauldron of hell For you are one who is merciful when you are called upon By the King, Menkheperatum, justified
I make adoration in God's name So great is his might I lay supplications before him In the presence of the entire land By the King, Menkheperatum, justified
Just as man is wont to commit sin So the lord is wont to forgive May you come and forgive us As you endure, you will be gracious By the King, Menkheperatum, justified
I shall pray in your name So I say to you, may you hearken to me You are a lord who can be called upon Content with the Holy Truth, Lord of Heaven By the King, Menkheperatum, justified

[ While he's using deferential language, L.L sounds confident, not servile. This is a man who considers himself Lucifer's equal being incredibly polite as a guest in someone else's kingdom ]
Lord Lucifer, I have some designs for the suit I owe you in payment for my sewing machine. I would be happy to attend to you at any time you deem convenient to take your measurements and let you choose what you wish for me to construct for you.

I make adoration in God's name
I shall declare his power
Herald him to those senior and junior
Herald him to generations now and still yet to come
Herald him to those who knows him not and those who knows him
You are God, the Lord of Heaven
Who comes and forgives us at this plea
I call to you as I am distressed

You are God, Righteous Father
Who forgives us in the cauldron of hell
For you are one who is merciful when you are called upon

I lay supplications before him
