[It's been a day. Nothing's improved.

Still, Lucifer sounds remarkably calm--it's not possible to tell where he is.]

Gabriel. We need to talk.

[Well, calm. And also a little out of breath.]

Comments

[painhumbles]

Your new girlfriend not gonna bail you outta this one? [SO BITTER.]

[outsidewindows]

[Now he just wants to punch you in the throat. But he'll bite down on his wrath, just for a moment.]

I need to talk to you, brother.

[painhumbles]

Hm. Lemme think. Is it about how massively boned we are or how much massive boning you've been doing lately?

[Fear: It makes bigger dicks out of... Gabriel.]

[outsidewindows]

[He can't even be properly angry about this. But he does still have authoritative Satan voice.]

Be quiet.

[Enochian, because who knows if filters work]

If you're trying to prove me wrong, to prove that when I ask you for help you won't just twist the knife, you're failing.

I know you're angry with me but stop.

[wingsandwill]

Is there something wrong?

[He knows exactly what it is, of course. He just can't help rub it in a little, especially while Lucifer's powerless.]

[Video]

[outsidewindows]

[Shut up, Castiel.

Or don't. Lucifer laughs a little.]

Little brother, we become more alike every day. But you know that, don't you?

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

[...Damnit, Lucifer. And both the words and the laughing are unsettling, but he shrugs it off and mostly pretends he doesn't know what Lucifer's talking about.]

Everyone is like this, it seems. It appears to be an event.

Though I believe it has skipped me, this time.

[Guess who still has the very few and weak things he retained after the grace incident?]

[Video]

[outsidewindows]

[A slow smile.]

Lucky you. If you wanted, you could even have revenge on me.

Has it hit the others?

[marsfireignite]

[Rei doesn't often laugh at the misfortune of others, but she makes an excepion now, for the angels. How dare all of you use her vision as a reason to attack one of her closest friends. And, then, within a week, you all become bumbling humans just like the rest of them.

The irony is delicious.

But somehow, taunting Lucifer doesn't quite hold the same satisfaction as it does with Raphael. So instead, she simply watches. There's no sympathy, nor empathy. There's no verbal taunting or teasing or laughter.

There is only a grim satisfaction.]

[youllsayit]

[You can't say he doesn't seize the day. He's using this new helplessness to mend fences with his brothers--especially Castiel.]

It's funny; I still know what you're thinking.

[Video]

[marsfireignite]

[She sees and she hates it. It's just manipulation -- strategic manipulation -- and seeing Castiel fall for it is a lot more difficult than it looks. But she doesn't bother telling Castiel not to trust a single word out of his mouth -- she can do that off-camera, away from Lucifer's eyes.]

The three of you don't deserve an ounce of sympathy from me.

[Video]

[outsidewindows]

I don't want your sympathy, Rei.

[In fact if she had offered it, it would've been the last straw.]

[Video]

[knifetotheface]

[She doesn't need a damn nametag to know who the fuck you are. Luckily enough for Jo, she pays attention to her surroundings -- and the only angel left with a name to match that face would be:]

Lucifer.

[The 'you bitch' is silent.]

Welcome to the mortal world.

[Video]

[youllsayit]

[Without mojo he can't sense her, can't read her history or see her futures spread out like a map.

So he rubs his jaw and studies her.]

And you are...?

[Video]

[knifetotheface]

[She looks surprised, for a moment, before she snorts to herself.]

I'll let you figure it out on your own -- let you live in suspense for once in your life.

[Does she sound bitter? Because she is. Because she died so that the Winchesters could kill your sorry ass and here you are, in the flesh, living and breathing her damn air.]

[Video]

[outsidewindows]

I'm afraid I won't be thinking much about it. You humans are all so alike now...I wonder if that's why you're all so easy to work with.

[expunger]

So do we.

[outsidewindows]

[He's never been so glad to hear from you, Raphael.]

Yes, and it's best done in person. I'm with Gabriel. ...Can you find us?

[expunger]

[You're a son of a whore for making her admit this. Raphael grits every word out.]

Not. Without. Coordinates.

[You people are all goddamn difficult she hates you all sob.]

[outsidewindows]

[He agrees. Dad was a whore.]

I'll send them when we get there. [He has NO IDEA where Gabriel is taking him, to be honest.]

Have you seen Michael?
