[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!

I know, I know, human scum.

[thelightbringer]

Oh, yes.

[He roughs up Break's hair and sprawls in the chair beside him.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

What are you going to do now?

[thelightbringer]

Wait for the next shoe to fall.

[With Michael and Rhode both gone in opposite directions, he no longer has any idea what to do. He can't go with both of them, and he has no chance of persuading Michael at home.]

What else can I do?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Want to start a gardening project with me?

[thelightbringer]

[...Actually? Yes. He does. If nothing else, it will help him get a better feel for this world.]

What plants?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Break knows his pet devil.]

We have to scavenge for seeds- but whatever we can find. I have a few saved.

[thelightbringer]

The plants won't last long if I use my power to help them. [Part of the whole being damned thing.]

I've never grown anything the old fashioned way.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Then we'd better pack a snack, but start walking.

[thelightbringer]

We have one.

[Cookies! Angels have no concept of nutrition.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

All right, all right.

[thelightbringer]

[He waits for Break to be ready, in no hurry himself.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Cookies packed away, he moves to join him.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer touches him, and flies them instantaneously to the wastes]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Break yeeps.]

You're so alarming.

[thelightbringer]

[He smirks, keeping Break steady]

It's better than walking.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

[thelightbringer]

Well, what's your preferred method?

[He's sure Break won't fall over and break a hip now, so he begins looking for seeds.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

There's a gardening store in the mall district?

[thelightbringer]

And what do they take as currency?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Nothing, ridiculous angel, we just steal things.

[thelightbringer]

And this is why you all insist you don't need societal order. Well, it's nice to know you all still see the value of a hard day's work.

[Teasing, flicking dead seeds at him.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'm not one of the insisty people.

[thelightbringer]

Xerxes, I distinctly remember you opposing the idea.

[Because he wouldn't have taken any notice of the police force if not for Break.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Oh- I misheard you, sorry.
