I'm setting up communal clotheslines here, for anyone whose bedding is waterlogged. Bring as much strong wire or string as you can if you can find it.

We work best when we aid one another.

Social structures aren't all that meaningful. Humans change them every hundred years or so.

The permanence of something doesn't actually have anything to do with it's meaning. As lasting or transient as they may be, a great deal of human existence is spent invested in navigating social structures. To us, they are very meaningful.

[He leans back on one hand.]

Enlighten me. Which structures do you promote?

From: [identity profile] mister-hatter.livejournal.com
I personally don't.

But I do inhabit them.

My current house is a little commune.

And your future home?

If you helped me build it you could come visit?

How far off the grid are you going?

From: [identity profile] mister-hatter.livejournal.com
Not far. I'm still stupidly- not self-sufficient.

No one here is.

But peanut butter helps. [He's speaking from experience now.]

That and carrots.

What is the first thing you ever remember eating? Can you remember? Do human minds... [gesturing vaguely] allow it?

From: [identity profile] mister-hatter.livejournal.com
Human minds don't tend to, no. Most of us have a first food memory, but that's the first time we remember food, not the first time we had it.

I remember being given sweet corn, right off the cob, at a city festival.

All angels know what things taste like. It's not the same as tasting them with a vessel.

There was a plant, millions of years before humans were created, that had white and pink berries the size of your hand. The taste of it was indescribable; I could say it's like melon and banana and raspberry jam, but it wasn't. Not really.

I used to sit under the leaves and watch the fruit grow. But I wonder now what it would have been like to truly taste one.

Could you bring one here?

[He is all powerful, and whatnot.]

From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
[mulling this over] It's been so long, I don't know if I would get it right.

You'll never know unless you try. Just don't make them poisonous!

Oh I can't promise anything, Xerxes.

[That's his version of teasing: threatening to poison you.]

Give it a day or so. I want to see if my brothers remember it.

Lucifer, try. What's the worst thing that'll happen? It'll take a little too much like melon?

[Nudging him with an elbow.]

I want to try it. I haven't eaten.

[It shouldn't come as any surprise to learn that Lucifer is a perfectionist, in the strictest sense of the word. But he also knows he paid more attention to the plants back then than his brothers did; it wouldn't help to ask their opinions.

He sighs, and as he exhales a deep green leaf big enough to cover both their laps appears. In its center, growing up from a pale green stem, is a white berry the size of Break's fist.

[He holds out his hand- can't see it, obviously, waiting for Lucifer to give it to him.

He doesn't bother to keep up the act around him any more, staring straight ahead rather than keeping his face angled towards him.]

From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
[Lucifer twists it deftly off the stem, and sets it in Break's palm.]

Its skin doesn't seem thick. Just bite.

[And once bitten into, the fruit tastes of apricot nectar and watermelon, with its own cedar undertones, the way young mango tastes vaguely woody.]

[He breaks it in half with a twist, smiling as the juice slides down his fingers, and offers one of the pieces to Lucifer, before taking a bite of his own.]

thelightbringer: (smirk)
From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
[His first thought is a sort of mash up of incoherent pleasure. His second is that he needn't have worried, it's the plant. An exact version of it, plucked from Creation and not his memory.]

Well. It's nice to know I haven't lost my touch.
