[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.]

Problem solved.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

And what will you do now?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Settle in. Find a little food, find a little water.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Good luck with it.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

How did we know each other?

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Relatively well, in a sense.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Friends, then?

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't call it that.

But I dissected you, and I don't think you ever got over it. Stubborn. Still, it didn't keep you from coming back.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

You did what?

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Dissected you, is your hearing gone too? Well, vivisected, you were alive the entire time. I'm a scientist.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Why precisely didn't I kill you?

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

You couldn't. Without your chain here, there's little you could've done. Though you were still interesting without it, rest assured.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Without my-

I see.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Has that changed? I always thought I'd been missing out on an interesting experience.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Come find out. I'll give you a new experience, one way or another.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

...You have me curious, but I have no intention of dying.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Dilemmas, dilemmas.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[Is still only at half-power, and more paranoid for it.]

Isn't it? But would you actually use it to answer a grudge I had to remind you of?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Do you not know me very well?

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

I know you're rather unpleasant.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Chortling.]

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

-Is it that amusing?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Maybe not quite yet, but the day is about to get better.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

You're tempted.
