[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.]

[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.]

Who else should I be braced for?

[expunger]

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

[Beat.]

Siblings.

[Look, it's habit, okay?]

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

[expunger]

That sounds like a dreadful idea.

[expunger]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

That people will try to protect me, house me, befriend me.

[expunger]

He is right.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Blink.]

Oh?

[expunger]

You made friends in your time here.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Including angels?

[expunger]

Yes.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Well.

I shall endeavour not to be a disappointment, this time around!
