[video, voice] what goes around comes around

[maddest]

[The device flicks on. Static.

Then, purple- only purple. White. Break's coat, the beautiful off-the-shoulder, white one that he lost almost a year ago during that episode with all of the blood. It's back in one piece.]

What-

[Then the feed flicks off. On again, very briefly, as he bangs it on the table. Sound.

Then to video- there's Break's elbow, Emily's dress.

On. Rap rap rap. Someone's knocking it against a table to see if it can be broken open.]

-why does it keep chirping, Emily?

[This is almost exactly how he arrived, nearly two years ago to the day. And here we are, come full circle, about to smash the PCD on a table corner in idle, non-technologically oriented curiosity.]

Just don't move. I'll be there soon.

It's easier I find you, hm? There's a large-ish oval button on the device, if you press it it will let me know where you are.

[He settles down to wait.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Shape is a better indicator than colour. He presses it right away this time.]

[Katara will arrive on the scene a little while later, hands folded across her stomach a little uneasily.]

Hey, there.

[exarmatio]

There isn't much you can do about it, unfortunately...

[al_truism]

[God. Dammit. And he made the mistake of letting him know that he hated it. So he'll just resign himself with a sigh.]

... my house is a bit-

[He hesitates, a little pain in his voice. Tell Break about the recent death, or no?]

... it's nice outside, we could stay in the garden for a bit. The way is a bit tricky, I might need to show you.

That must be why it's the Language of Love.

So, who's offered to take you in?

[Offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

No one. You're misremembering me.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

All right. What do you need me to do?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon.

[Grinning.]

[thelightbringer]

Mmmno, no, you see I'm not the one who's had his memory polished clean.

[expunger]

Other than Lucifer, Gabriel. There are two others, Anna and Castiel. All of them my brothers.

[Beat.]

Siblings.

[Look, it's habit, okay?]

The people who did this?

And yet-

[Shape is handy when eyes aren't always reliable.

It's not that long before an odd humming could be heard, along with that odd little jingly that came with him.]

You might be such the busy man for the next few days, Mister Break. It's odd what people will come to grasp for once they've come to care.

[How's that for a Hello?]

[waterbends]

[The smile relaxes her slightly -- and maybe it shouldn't, but she closes the distance between them regardless, reaching out to try to grab one of his hands.]

Break. I'm glad to see you.

[al_truism]

There are two buttons on the right side of the device. The second one down is yellow, press it and it'll give me your coordinates.

[Notice how he gives the directions, Break.]

[thelightbringer]

Give it time.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

At the risk of false modesty- why is something like you talking to something like me?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

All right, Al.

[You just won yourself a name. And his coordinates.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

And I suppose I'm glad to meet you.

[Dragging his hand away in surprise, though.]

Katara, wasn't it?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Break smiles. Really smiles.]

I'm suspicious of how I must have earned the honour.

[Offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. How do I know you?

[Offline]

[thelightbringer]

I think you were hoping I'd kill you at some point. You invited me over for tea, conversation...things.
