[The feed comes on, and stays on, as always happens when the System are contacting their Honoured Guests. The image isn't the same as anything it has been before. It isn't the inside of Praenuntius' cabin, nor is it the foggy Other Plain, instead all that can be seen is a white wall, with far too much light shining into the image, daylight it would

That doesn't look like it was a fun message to receive. You alright? Need a hand?

[foretelltheend]

It was not. I will be fine, but thank you. [A little smirk.] Enjoying your returned Grace?

[trickster_mk2]

I'm surprised you even had to ask that. Did you not receive the cake? I did make a point of trying to send it to you and yours but, well, I wouldn't be surprised if I couldn't get within 100ft of you even if I tried.

[foretelltheend]

Oh, so that was what flung itself against our window. [He chuckles lightly.] No, we received it. I somehow doubt Entity bothered with any, but I did. Thank you, Gabriel.

[trickster_mk2]

Entity is getting a reputation as a bit of a party-pooper, don't you think? We should do something about that...

And pah, it was all I could do. I mean, you got it back for me, right?

[foretelltheend]

Entity is a... party-pooper. Try living with it. I am sure it has told me to shut up more in the past week than it ever has.

My sibling and I came to the agreement that you had served your sentence. Contrary to popular belief, we are nice people. Well... we're not nasty, at least.

[trickster_mk2]

I don't know how you cope. I mean, I had Michael but.... [There's a shrug] Family.

I didn't think you were. It's not me that keeps accusing you. That's just the way it is.

[foretelltheend]

You also had Lucifer and Raphael, so I suppose there is a colourful pallet of siblings.

Oh, I had no doubt. I suppose they will come around eventually, or not at all.

[trickster_mk2]

Colourful is the word for it. Enjoyable and harmonious aren't.

This lot? They're stubborn and set in their ways. I doubt your current PR campaign is helping them like you any more than before. Try cake, or pie. Seems to work.

[foretelltheend]

That is, as they say, how families are.

[He laughs at that.] I shall pass the message on to Entity. Baked goods to quell the raging masses.

[trickster_mk2]

That or mass executions, those used to work. But you didn't hear that from me and I'm certainly not suggesting you try them.

[foretelltheend]

Oh, of course not.
