[Rhode's expression bears a fixed and eerie smile.]

Allen~♪ Come here right now. [The tone in her voice isn't the usual petulence and demanding brattiness.]

[And that's all, she shuts off the feed.]

[Lucifer is up in the attic, sharpening a double-edged knife. He listens to Rhode approach, and opens the door before she gets there.

He's not sure what's going on, but something is amiss.]

[She stops in the doorway, looking up at Lucifer for a moment. There's this look on her face that hasn't decided whether it's fury or not, and so she doesn't step in.]

Brother. [It's not quite a question, not exactly a statement. Something in between.]

Rhode. [He's not sure why she's calling him that instead of by his name, but he hugs her, sensing her confusion and what he hopes will be rage. Rage, between the two of them, is always the catalyst to better things.]

What's wrong?

[Offline] dreams_are_mine February 21 2011, 05:23:27 UTC

[She leans into the hug, arms wrapping around his ribs, but pulling her head back to look up at him, still intent.]

Tell me about your family.

[Offline] outsidewindows February 21 2011, 05:26:32 UTC

[Now he really doesn't understand.] You're my sister.

And Alice and Raven are your nieces. They're on our side...for now. [The unspoken part of that is unchanged: if they turn on him, he will kill them.]

[Offline] dreams_are_mine February 21 2011, 05:28:42 UTC

[At the first part she finally begins to relax, only to stiffen again at the last. She takes a step back, letting go of Lucifer.]

How are we related, Lucifer? How did you come by such cute nieces? [That tone still, probing. Angry, but not so much at him, just a general, deep fury.]

[Offline] outsidewindows February 21 2011, 05:52:46 UTC

We're related because you're my sister. [This is said with steady, unswerving conviction.] We're going to destroy Creation together.

Raven and Alice are a result of my needing sacrifices.

[He strokes Rhode's hair, frowning now.] What's wrong?

[Offline] dreams_are_mine February 21 2011, 05:56:19 UTC

[Slowly she starts to relax again, small fists clenched at her side, shoulders still stiff. But she doesn't pull any further away.]

That's right. We are. But Lucifer, your little lambs weren't little nieces, yesterday. ♥

[That's what's wrong. Or part of it.]

[Offline] outsidewindows February 21 2011, 06:11:23 UTC

[What a peculiar thing to say.]

No, of course they weren't. They're my 'daughters'.

[Offline] dreams_are_mine February 21 2011, 06:13:16 UTC

[For some reason she'd decided if they were her nieces, they were his as well. Color her the jealous type, but thinking of Lucifer doting on any "daughters" really annoys her.]

They weren't your daughters yesterday either!

[Offline] outsidewindows February 21 2011, 06:18:59 UTC

[It probably annoys his kids that he dotes on Rhode more than on them; but then, they're not nearly evil enough for him to trust.]

What would you call them?

[Offline] dreams_are_mine February 21 2011, 06:23:59 UTC

[Under other circumstances she might decide the game is fun, little nieces to dress up and harass would be just like living dolls. But right now she's not amused. Because Lucifer doesn't seem to realize this situation is wrong, and that means his memories are edited too, right?]

Toys. [She snaps it, angry, upset. Afraid she's the only one who remembers things like they're supposed to be. And because she's intelligent enough to consider it, afraid maybe she's the only one who doesn't remember things correctly.]

[Offline] outsidewindows February 21 2011, 07:34:45 UTC

Toys. [He's agreeing, although he can't understand why she's so vehement about it today. He's always let her do whatever she likes to the girls--to anyone remotely human, in fact.]

[Offline] dreams_are_mine February 21 2011, 07:41:45 UTC

[Except there's no always. It all just started and she's angry and scared. But if Lucifer remembers they're siblings maybe the others will too. Tyki wouldn't forget her, right? Allen wouldn't either.]

[She has to believe that.]

Tell me about last week. What did you and your... The toys do?

[Offline] outsidewindows February 21 2011, 09:12:19 UTC

[Lucifer tucks her hair behind her ear, frowning in very real concern. It causes the shadows in the room to thicken, the animals outside to shy away]

They went out on their own, I assume. Other people take care of them now.

[Offline] dreams_are_mine February 21 2011, 09:21:53 UTC

[The darkness makes her take a step closer, reach up to fist a hand in his shirt, just like any little girl might, when terribly upset by something.]

How long? Have they been yours. Tell me what you remember.
