[video] rebel without a cause

[maddest]

What an exciting week!

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

I'm not sure. I trust your judgement absolutely, but- I'd owe you if you'd keep it in mind. They'd use you if they had half the chance.

[thelightbringer]

Use me?

[Lucifer laughs softly]

They might paint me as a monster, as a common enemy. But I already did that on my own, didn't I? Well--me and the Bible. If they want to use that, nothing I say or do will sway the people. You know that.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Unless they send some bright little boy bouncing up to you to throw a punch.

[thelightbringer]

And you want me to be a pacifist.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Nonsense. I want you to duck.

[Popping a sugar cube into his mouth.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer sighs, pacing now around Break. He pauses behind him.]

And you would owe me.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Not carte blanche.

[thelightbringer]

Why don't you tell me what I could cash in, then.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'll watch over Castiel.

[Sipping his tea, watching him closely.]

[thelightbringer]

You're working with him so that's a given, not a reward.

[Besides, Lucifer intends to watch out for his brother anyway.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Ah, ah, anything good I have you already get. My tea, my cookies-

[thelightbringer]

--and the like. [He waves a hand, not-quite-laughing.]

You'll have to offer something else, then.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[His fingers drum on the PCD. He concentrates.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer waits patiently behind him still.]

[A quick wink.]

Pineapple upside down cake.

[thelightbringer]

Better bribery for you. Besides, pineapple doesn't grow where the Animus are.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Sex-in-a-pan.

[Proposing, instead.]

Sock it to me cookies. Whipped cream.

[thelightbringer]

[He has no idea what two of the three are, Break. So he gives him the trademarked angel head tilt.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

They're delicious.

[thelightbringer]

'Delicious' is such a relative term.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

You'll like these.

[thelightbringer]

[He considers telling Break he has no use for food--but instead he nods agreement]

On the condition you feed Castiel, and keep me informed on everything he will be doing.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes sir.

[Saluting.]

[thelightbringer]

And all I have to do is duck?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

You don't even have to do that. You just have to be on the lookout for provocation and deliberate attempts to make you look frightening.
