[Lucifer will just be sitting up on a roof. An extremely burned out, unstable partial roof. He's holding what looks like a violin, except he doesn't have the bow. And also he's playing that poor violin like a ukulele.]

I just want to say, all of this...? Not my fault.

[He pauses strumming a moment] Even when I had you all chasing your tails, I

[painhumbles]

Your opinion's been noted, Nero. [Gabriel sounds like he's been smacking his head against a wall in frustration for the past week.]

[outsidewindows]

Careful, Gabriel, you're starting to sound like a bitter martyr. Can't have that~ [He's far too cheerful about all this.]

[painhumbles]

I already did the martyr thing- didn't take. I'm back to pine-sitting.

[abrotherlikeyou]

[A small, wry smile] Well, while you're doing that, care to do it up here?

[hexyoutotuesday]

[Holding the bow.]

I think you forgot something.

[outsidewindows]

I thought you would have hidden that thing from me by now.

[But if you really want him to do another rendition of 'How Playing a Fiddle Sounds Like Skinning a Cat", he will. Happily!]

[hexyoutotuesday]

...........

[Aaaaand the bow vanishes in a puff of pink smoke.]

So, feeling up for a little terrorism later?

[abrotherlikeyou]

That depends on what you had in mind.

[eightshoutpoles]

So what did you do?

[outsidewindows]

I fiddled.

[And helped put out fires, and healed those who were caught in death loops, and did what he could to protect the Chateau. But you know, the important thing is that he's learning to play the fiddle.]

What did you do?

[eightshoutpoles]

You mean during that whole mess? Lots of things! I meant what did you do when you had everyone "chasing their tails".

[abrotherlikeyou]

Oh, that. An 'employee' and I wanted to see what the city looks like if everyone in it can't resist temptations. So...we tempted. People gave in.

[Castiel looks completely exhausted, but he sounds the same as ever.]

You are using that instrument incorrectly.

[A pause.]

Your assistance was appreciated.

[Video--Private]

[abrotherlikeyou]

[He's really not used to people being grateful toward him. Best to play it cool, right?]

Well, you know, all you ever have to do is ask.... I may not go running through holy fire to save an infant, but the rest? [A shrug; he can stomach it.]

But I have to say I am surprised you did ask. One would think in times of crisis, I'd be the last one to call. [Explain?]

[wingsandwill]

[He gives Lucifer a look for a moment, dissecting the comment and translating it from Lucifer-speak to try to figure out what he's really meaning by the comments.]

I asked you because I thought you might agree to help, which you did.

[It's that simple, even if it is a little strange even now that they're to the point where this can happen.]

[Video--Private]

[abrotherlikeyou]

[He laughs a bit at that--can Castiel be more straightforward?]

Yes, but going to me to help stop the end of the world? You never cease to amaze me, brother.

How are the wings...?

[greatcuppajoe]

Aw, now, give 'em some credit. They pull together pretty well when it comes down ta business.

The way you're saying that one could almost think you're an angel yourself.

[[ooc: Threadjacking without subject lines is... weird. So if this isn't okay, just say so <3]]

[greatcuppajoe]

[Video//Private//Unhackable (now and continuing)]

Is that what he is? [Thoughtfully.] Now isn't that interestin'!

I just don't want ta go stealin' anybody's thunder. Spent the weekend pickin' up strays, myself.

[feel_nevermore]

Yes. An archangel even.

Is this a 'yes' or a 'no'? [A bit too tired for guessing games right now.]
