[ The video feed begins in shadow, the outline of decrepit buildings spanning the horizon as far as the eye can see. A man stands poised on the edge of a rooftop, his back to the screen as the recording continues. ]

A world left desolate.

[ Smooth, cold, and yet strangely amused. ]

I honestly expected to see more fire.

[Dryly; he's in a bad mood, though you wouldn't know it from how he's been joking all damn day]

Be careful how you answer or she'll turn up naked with a bull whip, Slade.

Excuse me?

[Wow sudden anger and attitude.]

[youllsayit]

[Hugely amused; also he's just behind her, so two PCD's are on unnecessarily]

Oh, no, go on and offer the rest of yourself to him. I'm sure he wants it. What's your going rate these days?

[Two PCD's are on? Huh, well here's Jinx throwing hers on the ground and growling at him through gritted teeth.]

Would you mind repeating yourself, Lucifer?

[youllsayit]

[Still as calm as ever. He's just this side of jovial, in fact, smiling maddeningly at her.]

I would, if I was looking for a cheap thrill. But I gave my last two cents to Gabriel. I suppose I could put on a tin mask and have you do it for free.

[It is taking every ounce of will power not to claw out his eyeballs.]

He was my former employer. He hired my team when I graduated from the Academy. It's a formality which you obviously don't understand, you jealous, petty douchebag!

[This is Lucifer being hugely unimpressed. He examines some crumbs on the counter.]

Oh, yes, I forgot how much you care about rules.

[hexdontlie]

It's called respect. You'd get it if you had any.

[Amused]

If I got the sort of respect Slade does from you, you'd be rolling over and peeing on yourself every time I walked in the door so...I think I'll pass.

[hexdontlie]

[Yep. That's the last straw. Have Jinx's claws striking out across your face, Lucifer.]

What is wrong with you!?

[youllsayit]

[He manages to lean back enough she cuts his chin, rather than his cheek. He gives her a wholly unamused glower]

Take a breath, Jinx.

[She grabs his PCD from him, shuts it off, then violently chucks it across the room.]

You embarrassed me in front of one of the greatest villains to ever live and you called me a whore. I don't even want to look at you right now. That is not okay!

[This? This is probably the first time he's upset her like this. She can't even stop herself from getting all glowy.]

[youllsayit]

[He just folds his arms and Looks at her. Really? Really?]

You're worried about what a hairless ape wearing a tin suit thinks of you?

[No effort to hide his disgust.]

offline;

[hexdontlie]

That's not the fucking point! What is wrong with you? You can't just do something like that to me and expect everything to be okay.

[And that? Is the sound of things falling off the walls because she can't even control herself right now.]

I do everything for you! I'm always there for you, I put up with all your bullshit, and this? This is how you fucking repay me?

offline;

[youllsayit]

You do everything for me and yet you lick a corpse's boots. Flattering.

[hexdontlie]

If you don't fucking like it? Then it's a damn good thing you don't have to deal with it anymore!

[With the resounding scream from all of that, part of the wall cracked. She grabbed her PCD from the floor and turned to leave.]

Have fun in this big house all alone!
