Lust had never slept before.  So she never experienced waking up either.  It was something completely different that what came before it.  The first three seconds were really the best.  In that moment, that insignificantly tiny speck of time she forgot about everything. The past was gone, ideas were shaded in the darkness of her eyelids, names, faces, her favorite positions and toys even her identity as the sin of love was completely foreign to her.  It was utter emptiness and it was wonderfully terrifying.

Then, everything starting coming back like a stream from a water cannon pulsing through an old wooden door.  Her skull throbbed with the information and she felt like the pressure behind her eyes was going to cause them to pop out of her skull.  Two completely new and enjoyable sensations in a single day?  She couldn't remember the last time such an even occurred but it couldn't have been for at least a thousand years.       

God spoke to them.  God was always speaking to them.  For some reason, pride, hate, something in between, God never shut up. Sure, sometimes it said something interesting, even exciting like announcing the creation of the garden of Eden and the human beings who'd call it home, declaring war against the fallen angels, stepping up to the front lines to do what its army wasn't capable of and sentencing Lust and her partners to hell for all eternity, but since then it's really been nothing but reminding everyone how they screwed up.  Which got boring, fast.  There were only so many times you could be reminded of how careless an action was before the words lost all meaning.  Most of the time Lust didn't even hear god any more.  She just heard fuzzy thundering all around hell.

This last time it was different.  When God spoke to her it caught her attention right quick and in a hurry.  There was something new coming to them as maybe god himself overestimated the effect of living in a realm of torment would have on his naughty little children. Not that he'd admit to such a thing, because god, like pride, wasn't one who'd miscalculate.  So they'd go somewhere different, somewhere more fitting, really fitting, as in they'd go to a land which only existed because of a single demon's jealousy. For their next punishment the seven deadly sins would be sent to Earth so they could see how hard it was to be humans, during the most difficult times of their lives.

"Uh."  Lust coughed as she sat up.  Her throat felt like sand and her neck creaked when moved as if it would fall off at any point.  So of course she made a point of moving her head in every direction to see how much sensation she could work out of the situation.  The light in the room made her eyes hurt, which was wonderful, but she kept having to blink.  The human body had automatic defenses against self harm, didn't it?  What a shame!  She'd have to work around it.

Lust used her hands to hold open her eyelids while she gave the room they were in another once over.  She noted the other sins, who didn't look anything like their old selves.  She could tell who they were though on account of body languages being one of her specialties.  "I see I wasn't sent her alone then."  The corner of her full lips bowed for a moment before springing up into a smile.  "Fantastic!  With you guys around I'm sure things'll will quickly get interesting!"  She showed her teeth in an attempt at smiling, but the action came off more like a bear's warning that things were going to get bad if everyone didn't just turn around and walk away.  She would've continued with words of excitement but noted that Pride and Wrath looked to be having one of their moments again, and didn't want to stop them.  The fights with the two were always the most enjoyable things to watch because they never went the same way twice and one really could never know who'd come out on top until one of them was literally limp at the other's feet.

"Hmmm?"  Lust's attention slightly shifted towards Greed, who was focused on something sleek and shiny like a hell bug's carapace but flatter, and probably not as enjoyable for use as food, or a sexual partner, but which might exceed the species as a piece of decoration.  The thing did have a look to it that pulled attention like a black hole pulled light, or god's love caused cancer.  "That?"  Her hands released her eyelids as she looked around for something on the ground.  Thick streams of tears flowed down her cheeks as her human body rushed the moisturize her eyes so as not to become blind and thus susceptible to a quicker death.  "I'm not sure, but" she scanned the ground and picked up something long and black with various rubber squares sticking out.  She held the item out towards Greed.  "Try poking it with this thing as see what happens."  She gave a nod.  "If nothing happens it means you aren't poking it hard enough.  Really get in there until things start cracking."  Another smile.  A bird on a nearby window saw it and laid an egg a days earlier than scheduled.   

"Huh?"  The demon of desire blinked down at what used to be a thick black armored limb.  "So I've got a new body too, huh?  Should be fun."
