maddest | [video] rebel without a cause

Entry tags:

What an exciting week!

In light of all the discussion, Adstringendum, let's chat- who would you trust to nominate as ombudsman?

From your perspective. I'm the bug on the dissection board in your little hypothetical.

You've already been to a smaller version of Hell. Twice, right? I'd be beating a dead horse to stick you back in.

[Break is startled into genuine laughter.]

Something like that.

[Lucifer smirks at him, relaxed now, pig pen or not.]

And your goals for life here?

Survive as comfortably and happily as I can.

Oh, you're ambitious.

Topple an evil police force. Collect the complete set of angels.

It wouldn't change your mind if I told you the police force isn't evil.

I wouldn't believe you.

You won't find a higher authority on the matter, Xerxes. They aren't evil. They're selfish and power-hungry and stupid. It's not the same thing.

Semantics.

Are important.

You're so boring.

Oh, that's why you keep making me tea?

Of course. Only terribly boring people drink tea.

Clearly. [Looking at him. Pointedly.]

I've got to go cause more mayhem. Dinner later?

I'll take the mayhem instead.

Then eavesdrop.

[He proposes, flicking back on to the feed.]

[Lucifer is content with this. He takes his cup of tea, and stands just off screen, sipping as he listens in.]
