[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.]

There's already enough sugar in there, Mister Break.

[Finally seating himself, snapping into one of those gingersnaps.]

Cake? Strawberry chocolate was managed.

Sounds perfect.

It's the begining of October, the weather is going to grow far colder soon.

Your home has a fireplace-- I do believe we found it worked. It will be warm. I've given you a scarf and matching mittens around the winter holiday last year.

People here know how to prepare for hard winters, and I've food store to spare.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I hope most of it is in my home.

There will be fresh pork during winter.

We have a pig?

[makemehrrr.livejournal.com]

Winged, we went hunting for them. You suggested catching another to try for a breeding pair.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'll help with the care, then- if not the feeding.

[offline]

[makemehrrr.livejournal.com]

We'll manage to keep it well fed and taken care of.

How's the tea?

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Delicious. You know how I take it.

[He can't help one of those odd purry giggles at that.]

The two of us have taken tea enough times, I suppose. It's something I had to blend together from what leaves I have.

This place sounds rather short on supplies- particularly luxuries.

[offline]

[makemehrrr.livejournal.com]

In a way this place looks as if it survived a major catastrophe-- lucky there's anything standing or things to scavenge.

[Keeping himself from chuckling with his own tea.]

Some of us are far better at making use of what's found, along with finding and hunting, than others.

Well, some people have obstacles, don't they?

[offline]

[makemehrrr.livejournal.com]

Some are also not human.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Well, that has been obvious from the get-go.

Angels, demons, gods of death or whatever name those are given, talking ponies, witches, wizards-- dear little Adstringendum has quite the selection of inhabitants.

Some humans aren't without their own little quirks.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

And let me guess. While I fall on the 'mostly human, albeit monstrous' end of the spectrum, you're a little deeper~

[makemehrrr.livejournal.com]

I've my own quirks, you'll remember where I fall along sooner or later.

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I can't wait.

[makemehrrr.livejournal.com]

Patience is a virtue- hurry up, hurry up, I want some now~

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Want what? The tea, the cake, or secrets about me?

[offline]

[makemehrrr.livejournal.com]

There's a time for telling secrets and a time for cake-- which do you think it is?
