 Lucifer's Lottery
comment
Theology student Hudson has just won the lottery, but not just any lottery—Satan’s lottery. Only eleven people in all of human history have been so honored since Lucifer’s fall from Heaven in 5318 B.C. All Hudson need do is say “yes,� and he will receive an all-expenses-paid tour of Hell, and his tour-guide is the damned soul of H. P. Lovecraft, the greatest horror writer of all time…And into the Abyss, Hudson ventures, to witness carnal pleasures that boggle the mind and horrors piled upon horrors within the smoking, screaming metropolis that is now Lucifer’s domain. But will Hudson make the ultimate choice and disavow his salvation to become an aristocrat in Hell?A spinoff of City Infernal.

The Corruptible
 Lucifer's Lottery / int_13ba53d3
comment
The Corruptible: The purpose of the Senary is to show that everyone can be corrupted, even the saintliest of people. So far it's worked perfectly.

Rivers of Blood
 Lucifer's Lottery / int_1bc2eeb7
comment
Rivers of Blood: The Gulf of Cagliostro is a sea of blood and sewage. In fact, there is barely any real water in Hell at all - there is a plan afoot to steal a large quantity from Earth.

Deal with the Devil
 Lucifer's Lottery / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: Hudson is offered one; as a completely pure and good person, Lucifer is willing to offer him an eternity of unimaginable luxury in Hell if he freely and willingly turns his back on God. Subverted in the end, as it turns out that Lucifer has no intention of honouring his side of the bargain.

TheVillainWins
 Lucifer's Lottery / int_4fce1b9e
comment
The Villain Wins: In some of the subplots, albeit not all of them. Hudson submits to the Senary, continuing its winning streak, and is Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves. The attempt to steal six billion gallons of fresh water from Earth goes off without a hitch. Favius ends up on Earth, where he will go on to do the Devil's work in Lakehouse Infernal. That said, the Demonculus ends up hijacked by Gerold who's going to use it to stomp around and wreck up Hell for the rest of eternity, which is undeniably a setback for Team Lucifer, but still, two out of three ain't bad.

Women Are Wiser: Of the eleven existing Privilati, only one is female. Howard claims that women are "more concrete about their notions of sin versus redemption."

comment
Noble Demon: Favius is genuinely brave, conscientous, selfless and lives only to serve the glory of Lucifer. While everyone in Hell takes care to claim as much, it's implied that Favius is rare in that he's actually sincere; Buyoux claims that Favius is the only person he can genuinely trust.

He-Man Woman Hater: Lucifer hates all humans, but he hates female ones especially much and tries to make sure they suffer especially much in Hell. He ordered his entire palace built from severed, still-living female heads for this reason.
