I think women would have an easier time letting go of makeup if tumblr didn't act like you'd be exiled from society for not wearing it. In my personal experience, nobody gives a shit. Like, I just went to Arby's high as fuck in my pajamas with zero makeup whatsoever and nobody yelled at me. I do think culture has a role in this but you can't expect people to unlearn things while convincing them they're basically gonna die for doing it.
i mean, i don’t think anyone argued going to an arby’s without makeup would be a big deal. but there are some situations and events where women are expected to wear makeup. i definitely wouldn’t consider going to an arby’s or any other fast food chain among those situations

New place
Despite that angels don’t really need to work as they can use powers to do their job good, the psychological support is still important for most of them. Her job was not the easiest one, but she chose it for herself. And yet, if with angels she has great experience, she had zero experience with demons. Nicole’s experience with King of Hell is a separate one as it was Michael’s request.
Nicole: It’s almost time for our session. Ugh, why do I have a feeling that he will use this trick again on me? Well, guess this is my price for accepting such request. Still, not every specialist has a chance to gain such experience, talking with King of Hell himself. Not even mentioning that he can be...someone else than just a "demon". I’m still surprised that no one besides Noel knows about it. Maybe it’s for the best.....I wish I could interact with more demons.
She looked at the clock, then felt an energy flowing in the room. It was a sign that he will appear soon. Nicole prepared her papers and pen as turned around to see that her client was already here.
Nicole: You're not late this time, sir Lucifer.
Lucifer: And you're still being formal as usual~
Nicole: You know that it's a neccessity for my job. Therapist and clients should have neutral-
She couldn't finish her sentence as she looked at Lucifer, who was wearing the lingerie, then she looked at herself. Her face got stunned as she covered herself.
Nicole: Are you kidding me??! Not again!!
Lucifer: What? It's more comfortable like this~ Plus, I thought that you got used to it~
Nicole: Ugh, you're impossible.
She snapped her fingers and both Lucifer and her were in casual clothes. The demon made cute upset face.
Lucifer: Awww, again these boring clothes. Well, guess I have to stay like this for an hour.
Nicole: As it should be. Now, shall we start?
Lucifer nodded as they both took a sit and they began the session. It was another usual session, just topics vary from time to time. But most of them were about the confidence. It's surprisingly how King of Hell himself can't be confident sometimes. Well, when you have to guard the nephilim from someone who tried to lure him to their side and then almost kill him, then your confidence sure will stagger. Lucifer didn't tell about Ghemora and Nazeel to Nicole, tho about the last one she could have some guesses. Still, coming to her for help was one of the best suggessions that his beloved made.
Nicole: Well, i can only suggest to sort the problems and situations.
Lucifer: Sort? Like trash?
Nicole: Well, that's not the best comparison, but something like this, dividing them. For example, those that you can handle yourself better solve now. Those that require a help from the closest people can vary from not neccessary to very neccessary. The key point here is communication.
Lucifer: Do i have to talk to myself if i'm solving things alone?~
Nicole:....*sighs* If it helps boosting your confidence, then sure. Comments can organize your thoughts and steps.
They kept talking untill the time of their session was coming to its end. Time flies fast as mortals tend to say, but when it's about Heaven, Purgatory or Hell, it's almost like if the time wasn't actually here.
Nicole: Well, it's time to finish our session.
Lucifer: Seems like it.
Nicole: Hope this conversation helps you, sir Lucifer.
Lucifer: Again with formalities~ Just Lucifer is enough, really~
Nicole: If you say so, Lucifer.
He smiled as looked down for a moment before getting up and getting ready to leave. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Nicole.
Lucifer: Look, Nicole.
Nicole: Yes?
Lucifer: I was thinking about something recently. Would you like to work in Purgatory as a therapist both for angels and demons?
Such suggestion made Nicole stunned, but also curious as she tried to stay professional.
Nicole: In Purgatory?
Lucifer: Yep. There angels and demons come across quite often and most of them will be glad to have a psychological support like you. Well, at least I think so. Plus, it can be quite an experience for you as a therapist.
The angel thought for a moment, trying to find any trick behind it. But surprisingly, he was looking right into her eyes, nor she could sence any demonic energy. Still, she couldn't help, but wonder.
Nicole: Why do you suggest me such thing?
Lucifer: Are you doubting me?~ Hehe, no surprise, I'm a demon after all~ But my intention was to thank you for the support you gave to me for such long time. Maybe it's strange for divinity to ask for help a therapist, as, you know, we are so poweful and so. But reality sure gave a huge slap to my face, showing how brutal it is and how things can be for real.
Nicole: I would actually replace slap onto punch. It sounds more brutal.
Lucifer: Hehe, yeah. Anyways, I thought that maybe with new place you can accomplish your goal: to help everyone, not only angels. And maybe learn something new.
Nicole looked down in a thought. It was a great opportunity for her to understand the angel and demon psychology, how they can be different from each other, or even have something in common, and maybe how they can co-work with each other. Plus, it was a chance for her to see Purgatory herself.
Nicole: Alright, as a thank you, I will accept such suggestion. But as far as I remember, lady Lilith is in charge of Purgatory. Will she accept me as a therapist of Purgatory?
Lucifer: I'm sure she will~ We can even go and talk to her right now~
Nicole: Wait, now?? But-
She couldn't finish the sentence as they both were teleported to Purgatory, to the meeting room, where right now was Jikan. He jumped a bit from the surprise, but seeing that it was Lucifer, sighed with relief.
Jikan: My King, it's surprising to see you here. Did something happen?
Lucifer: Oh, not really, Jikan~ I just wanted to chat with my Queen. Is Lilith here?
Jikan: Yes, she is. Let me tell her that you're here.
And he went quickly towards the way Lilith was. Nicole stood still, a bit stunned by sudden teleportation. The waiting was not destined to be long as Queen of Hell came to the duo.
Lilith: Oh, Lucifer, i didn't expect to see you here~ Are things going well? And who is it with you?
Lucifer: Things are doing like they usually do~ And this is Nicole, angel therapist that helps angels psychologically and is interested in demon psychology. And also a therapist who helped me during some...tought times.
Lilith: Oh, I think you have told me about her once. That's surprisingly nice of her~
Nicole was frozen for a moment, fixing her glasses and looking at Lilith. Unlike Lucifer, queen was more dressed and polite, which surprised her more. She bowed.
Nicole: It's honor to meet you, lady Lilith.
Lilith: No need such formalities, Nicole~ I don't bite~ It's first time I hear that such angel like you is curious about us demons, not to mention helping Lucifer mentally.
Nicole: Umm, it's more for gaining experience. Plus, a personal request from sir Michael.
Lilith: Right~ So, let me guess, you suggested her to work in Purgatory and you want to ask my approval?
Lucifer: Yep.
Lilith: I see. Well, I'm fine with such idea~
Nicole: Wait, r-really?
Lilith: Of course~ People here will be glad to have such mental support like you~ Plus, you can gain more experience here~ Tho, some demons don't neccessary need it, but to give it a try is never bad.
Nicole took a moment to think of everything. Doubts crowled on her back. Won't it make her relationship with her sister conflicted? And what Noel will think of her? It was a chance for her to understand demons more, and she couldn't let it go like this. Her face looked upset for a moment, but quickly shifted to the working one.
Nicole: I'm so sorry if I sound selfish, but if I accept this offer, will my workplace in Heaven still be active?
Lilith: It's up to you. You can have both cabinets here and in Heaven. Maybe even one in Hell if you want~
Nicole: I see. Well, then I accept this offer, but under one condition. Everyone, who comes to my place should wear clothes.
Lucifer: Aww, really? Even in Purgatory?
Lilith: I can agree to it~
Lucifer: You too?? Man, you women are evil sometimes.
Lilith: Sorry not~ Anyways, want to talk about it at my office? We can discuss the time and place and other stuff that is required for you.
Nicole: Sure. But before we go, I want to express my thank you for the suggestion, sir Lucifer.
Lucifer: It's fine. Just doing what is the best. Tho i'm still not glad for the condition.
He made an irritated face as Nicole and Lilith giggled. They said goodbyes to each other before going to their own paths. Who would've known that such opportunity will knock on Nicole's door. She wasn't expecting it either, but if it means to achieve her goals, then this chance should not be missed. And Nicole will sure not let it go away.
