[maddest]

[The PCD catches Break singing has he manages the dishes.]

Twelve for the twelve Apostles
Eleven for the eleven who went to heaven,
Ten for the ten commandments,
Nine for the nine bright shiners,
Eight for the April Rainers,
Seven for the seven stars in the sky,

[Up to his elbows in soap, voice pleasant, but wheezy.]

Six for the six proud walkers,
Five for the symbols at your door,
Four for the Gospel makers,
Three, three, the rivals,
Two, two, the lily-white boys,
Clothèd all in green, O and
One is one and all alone
And evermore shall be so!

Shh, it's fine. Trust me. Would I lie to you~?

[That first cookie really didn't last long.]

Your timing never disappoints, Xerxes.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I know.

[After everything, after Rhode, he needed it.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer, no surprise here, isn't great at genuine gratitude. He rarely has cause to feel it. But he gives Break a very small smile and takes another cookie; this one he cools off first, lightly blowing on it, his breath icy.]

Alphonse is worried about you.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Why?

[Curious.]

[thelightbringer]

Your lungs.

[He watches Break closely, still nibbling on the cookie.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

He switched bodies with me.

It's disconcerting to feel, even just at this stage.

[thelightbringer]

I know.

I switched a few times, too. It wasn't like sliding into a vessel, though, it....

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Is the event still going?

[thelightbringer]

If it is, I haven't noticed it.

How many times did you swap around?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Oh dear- Al, Gabriel, Urahara, Raphael-

[thelightbringer]

Raphael?

[Looking at him abruptly.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Ow.

[Is his mild observation.]

[thelightbringer]

Ow.

[Agreeing, but with a touch of amusement.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

How did you fare?

[thelightbringer]

Better than that. No one here was painful to trade with, except that most of them were too...cramped.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

And are any of them twitching and drooling?

[thelightbringer]

[He hides a smirk behind the cookie]

Maybe a few.

You think I'm that bad~?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I don't think you're that bad, but I think you feel that bad from the inside.

[thelightbringer]

We're lucky we didn't trade, aren't we?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I wish we had.

[thelightbringer]

If I knew how it worked, we could see if it's still happening. My sister thinks it is--but then, she's paranoid about other things, too.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

We'll just enjoy our cookies and wait and see, then.

[thelightbringer]

[He takes them up to the balcony, and lounges against the railing. He looks at Break and puts on his best "teacher" voice.]

Now, what did you learn this week?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I learned-

[Finally nibbling the edge of one of the cooler cookies.]

-that I disconcert people.

[thelightbringer]

It's one of your more charming qualities.
