[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.]

[Oh, oh, this is the man, isn't it? The one Lucifer adopted. He's back. Nightmare's first reaction is torn between the impulses to shove her face in his and take him apart, or run and tell Lucifer to cushion the inevitable reaction.

That reaction won't be a good one, either- this human won't remember him, will he? Oh, it might actually be fun to watch. Especially since he seems to be insane, talking to someone who isn't there.]

Do I look like an Emily to you?

[She doesn't look like anything to him. He drops the PCD- then picks it up again, with the camera pointed at his toes.]

Emily, now it's talking-

You keep abusing the poor thing, that's why~

[And laughing.]

Abusing? I'm doing no such thing!

And anyways, it likes it.

[Ugh. New people.]

There is no Emily. Turn the thing the other way.

[For a few moments, Lucifer just...watches.]

[Turning it. Break's face is in the frame now, albeit upside down.]

She's right here.

[Patting the little doll.]

Wherever here is!

[dryly, carefully, in Nick's voice of all things--shut up, Allen, don't think too hard about it]

If the chirping bothers you this much, you'll love all the chickens around here.

[Sigh.]

It's upside-down now. Try not be a complete idiot.

[Silence, on Break's end.]

Uh oh!

[Right side up. But whoops, facing the wrong way again!]

[He lets it linger, and when he speaks he keeps his voice butter-soft and purring]

Did I lose you somewhere?

...Seriously? You're joking. Nobody is this stupid.

[Hang the fuck up. Nightmare doesn't have the time for this.]

[He clears his throat.]

I'm here. Chickens?

I don't know what you meeeeean-

[It finally rights itself.]

If that's the strangest thing about all of this for you, I'm impressed, Xerxes.

... welcome back, Mr. Break.

Who are you? How do I know you? Where am I and what is going on?

Why thank you, Eggbert.

[Guessing a name. This must be a voice he can't place- might as well get a comical correction.]

[Sputter!]

Ah... it's Negi, actually. Negi Springfield.

Well, close enough. Have we met?

[A long, long pause--at least it seems that way.]

I don't really want to waste my time telling you things you're going to hear a dozen times from other people. It's a quirk of mine.

Then I'll get it just once, out of you.

You were here once before. I doubt you remember me very well, though.
