[ Sharon hadn't meant to sleep for so long once the hallucinations had become easier to handle, but she's feeling decidedly better than she has in days. Not necessarily hopeful - she's still keenly aware of the totally shit situation they're all in. She also knows that her face might not be the one people want to see. Those people, however, can suck it. Sharon's made bad decisions before. That doesn't mean she's going to allow herself to be defined by them. ]

Don't worry. I'm not making this as another invitation to an escape attempt. I just wanted to check on everyone and see how everyone's doing. If you have any friends here, I'd appreciate it if you could check in with them. I'd also appreciate it if you guys could check with either myself or the far more personable [ was that a joke? ] Coulson.

If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to let me know. I may not have any bullets left, but I've still got some blades. I also want to know how long you think you'll last with the limited food supplies.

[ Public appearances are important, right? That's why she starts off with this message open, a vague attempt at a smile even. If anyone's paying attention they'll notice how forced it is, but on face value it's just a nice, pleasant enough message. ]

In the wake of the hallucinations people seem to be getting better quite rapidly. Not noticed any permanent injuries so far, but people might be keeping them quiet for now. That's all I've noticed.

[ Except not really, and she switches to private to continue. The cheery demeanor is dropped in favour of a much more abrupt manner. ]

It's getting worse. More people have disappeared. Another one of the people I know, Dean Winchester. I've heard mentions of others too. Food's low, there's a woman screeching on about new escape attempts, and well - [ Pause. ] Lucifer is here.

[Sharon, too, starts off public. Whoever spies on them will find that this is a very dull, short conversation.]

That's the best we can hope for right now, I think. Keep me updated.

[And then she switches to private.]

I've heard that Dean is missing. A girl named Laura is also missing. And no one has seen Coulson or Barton around lately, either.

[There's a slight pause, and her tone is sharper when she next speaks.]

What do you mean, Lucifer. As in, Big Bad Lucifer? Satan Lucifer?

Things seem to be getting a lot worse, a lot quicker.

[ She's a little hesitant to continue, she knows Sharon's world isn't the same as her own, but if there's anyone she thinks needs to know, it's her. ]

Yes, as in Satan Lucifer. Me and- [ whoops backpedal backpedal ] I spoke with him. We seem to have come to an arrangement to ensure the safety of the humans here, provided they don't provoke him. I don't know how strongly we can rely on that, though.

[Sharon's lips press into a line as Anna notes that things have sped up. Sharon suspects that part of it is because of her escape attempt. After all, most of the people are ones she knows; some have helped her. She hates to presume that it's all about her, but it feels a lot like a reminder of what their captors can do.]

Yeah, I imagine humans can provoke anyone. [Her tone is wry. And even though she isn't going to talk about the "we," Anna, rest assured that she heard it. However, bigger fish...]

Is that all there is to the agreement? Humans don't piss him off and everyone lives happily ever after?

In his eyes, yes. He hates humanity, hates everything they represent to him. He blames them for his Fall. [ Details details, though. She's not about to launch herself into the complicated history of her family, and she doubts Sharon wants to hear it anyway. It doesn't change anything, he's still a threat. ]

Lucifer tends not to lie. I know that's not much to go on, but for what it's worth it's true. The problem is I don't know what 'provoking' entails. His idea might be very different to mine. But yes, essentially. Don't wind him up and we should be okay. He has an agenda here, but he wouldn't divulge that kind of information to me.

[Sharon listens, occasionally nodding as Anna tells her more about Lucifer. It's easier to consider the situation without thinking of him as a mythical - no, biblical- enemy. He's like Loki. Powerful, but he still has weak spots. Sharon will just have to root those out.]

So... Lucifer... Which mythology are we going with here? Devil's Advocate to God, or Fallen Angel out for revenge?
