I've never seen it this bad before.

[thelightbringer]

Too late.

[Rolling his eye.]

Tell me about this plan of yours.

[thelightbringer]

[He leans back on his hands, thinking.]

It's more of a theory at this point. But we think it's possible to leave the worlds open--we could travel back and forth between this one, and home, and yours.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

How? How is this plan different from the others?

[thelightbringer]

Originally we were going to find a way to send us all where we want to go, then shut the doors to be sure the Animus couldn't take us back.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

That isn't what I mean.

People have been trying to break out of here for years.

[thelightbringer]

And it's going to take years more but we all have to start somewhere. But I don't plan on leaving the Animus alive.

[He presses a finger over his mouth, shaking his head.]

[thelightbringer]

What?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I don't want to discuss that.

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer has his own doubts about all of this. But there's no other option for him; he would rather die trying to get what he wants than simply take what is given.]

What do you want to discuss?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

What about efforts to rebuild?

[thelightbringer]

I haven't kept up with any of that.

There's your home, I saved most of the Chateau. Those are the only buildings I have an interest in.

Castiel will run himself ragged fixing things.

[thelightbringer]

[He sighs.]

I know. I talked him out of trying to rebuild the whole city. If I go and get food for the refugees, he told me he would only work on repairing the Temple.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Good.

[thelightbringer]

Which brings me to you.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

What do you need from me?

[thelightbringer]

First of all, I brought you Rhode's supplies. So I want you to use them, for yourself.

And secondly, when I do have a more concrete plan, I want you in it.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

We'll see.

[thelightbringer]

About the plans, yes. About the food, no. You are obligated to use it, Xerxes.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Lucifer, there's far too much here.

[thelightbringer]

No there's not. It will last you a few months at most. And most of it is for desserts.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Lucifer.

[He's still blinking, awed.]

[thelightbringer]

Keep it and use it.

[Softly, but firm.]
