I loathe you all marginally less than I did in my last post.
Apologies if I seemed out of sorts!

[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.]

I'm out of sugar.
You just volunteered to help me scavenge some.
[Yes, you, whoever is listening.]
I'm looking at you in particular, nephew.

[Video] starlight star bright
Dec. 5th, 2010 07:17 pmI wonder how long this has to last before you all get twitchy?
[He muses, a tiny bit snide. Sun aside, Break hates the winter. He's in a bit of a mood- and lashing out at the PCD feed seems like a perfectly reasonable way to pass the time.]

[A few hours after this, Break's PCD is jostled on.
It's a video feed, yes, but all that's visible is the inside of Break's pocket. From the sounds of things, he's still in the streets, propped against a building, wheezing for breath. A few coughs, and he spits blood onto his white coat sleeve, sinks to the ground with a groan.
Not a good day.]

voice: time turned backwards
Sep. 21st, 2010 06:41 pm[Finally, in the middle of the night, his voice floats over the PCD. He hasn't slept. He can't focus.]
How did I get this complacent? I've been- been just living here with you horrible people!
I have to get back to Emily-
[Kevin (because he's no longer Xerxes Break, not really) chokes on the name.]
Albus? Albus, can you hear me? If you're out there I'll do anything, please, just take me home. I have work to do and I don't have time. It's counting, I'm running out of time. Please, Albus.

[Accidental Video]
Sep. 7th, 2010 07:05 pm[No staircases for Break.
He somehow goes ass over teakettle out of his open window, where he'd been sitting on the sill, landing in the soft garden outside with a rather surprised yell. The PCD in particular tumbles out of his hands, and lands in the grass, while Break lies on his back, blinking in shock.
That was unexpected.]
Really.

[There is no video feed this time. Just the grind and grit of gravel shifting, the dripping sounds of water and Break's laughter. His voice misses 'merry' by a long shot. He sounds like he might be going into shock.]
What lovely, lovely, lovely hospitality.
[Whispering conspiratorially to the device. Every breath he takes hitches, catching in his throat.]
Though I must say, I wasn't even offered tea.
[Breaking silence this soon is risky, but Break might be desperate. He has nowhere to go, and won't last out here like this.]
