It wouldn't have been such a big deal if the rest of you hadn't closed your eyes and pretended everything was just fine.
But no, in He comes and says 'look at this family of mice I found in the back of a drawer, aren't they cute; worship them!' Excuse me for thinking He was off his barnet.

[lotsoflaughs]

1. They're a bit bigger than mice. 2. He didn't just find them, He had them happening in mind in the first place.

Personally, I actually thought they were interesting. We all know what *you* thought, Raphael could take em or leave em, Michael mostly loved them because Dad told him to.

[angelfire]

1. Mice are smarter
2. He still made us first. Quit while you're ahead.

It was still four against one. I still don't really understand it; giving us free will and then not letting us exercise it. What exactly was the point?

[ Yes, he is sulking. ]

I'm bored of the phone now, Gabriel.

[lotsoflaughs]

Well, maybe you shouldn't have used it to make demons!

::Being bored with the phone was Lucifer's problem, not Gabriel's. Unless he decides to make it Gabriel's problem.::

[angelfire]

Oh pssh. What did Adam need two wives for, anyway? Talk about greedy.

Where are you, Gabriel?

[lotsoflaughs]

Hey, some people are into the polyamory thing.

::Oh no. He knows where this question is going.::

Somewhere on the planet.

::More specifically, in his current apartment in New York. Half a continent away from the Winchesters, making it hard for them to find him.::

[angelfire]

Is it so much that I want to give my little brother a hug?

[lotsoflaughs]

Given last time we saw each other, forgive me if I'm a bit nervous at the prospect of you being in the same state as me, much less the same room.

::Well, that should narrow down what area to search.::

[angelfire]

Such a familial, touching bond of trust you demonstrate in me.
Don't you want to make up?

[ BRB just flying end to end across America. ]

[lotsoflaughs]

I've got mixed feelings about that.

::No harm admitting that. While Lucifer is his favorite big brother, there's that whole stabbing thing. He hasn't really properly dealt with it.::

[angelfire]

[ Keep him talking. ]

That's what the making up is for.
What if I promised not to hurt you? I'd have to keep a promise like that.

[lotsoflaughs]

That would help. Not keep me from being twitchy for awhile, but help.

::He has the feeling that he's letting himself get talked into something.::

[angelfire]

We used to get along so well.
I promise not to hurt you. Oh, at least until the next apocalypse. How's that?
Now where are you?

[lotsoflaughs]

If I have my way, there won't *be* another Apocalypse. And not that you care about anyone that'd be caught in the middle, but I'm probably sure you wanna skip having another one because of Michael.

::He can't help having the feeling that answering is a bad idea, but...::

New York.

[angelfire]

It takes him a hot second to make himself known. Sure, there's quite the population to sift through, but an angel's grace is easy to find when he knows what he's looking for, and where. It takes one pass of the city to hone in on Gabriel's position, and then Lucifer alights gently on the floorboards with a rush of wings.

"Really, Gabriel? New York?"

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel manages to resist the urge to jump and sticks to a suppressed twitch. Then he stands to avoid his brother towering over him quite so much. "What? Lots of people and depending on where I go, no one's gonna notice one more person."

[angelfire]

"As though you're any more noticable in a small town as a large one. Humans have no interest in you or I--blink and you'd miss us."

He watched his brother stand, then cocked his head to one side. "Don't I get that hug now?"

[lotsoflaughs]

"You say to the guy that's sometimes had hunters on his ass for shit I did," Gabriel points out. No, Luci, you do not get that hug.

[angelfire]

"I know you didn't forget all the tricks I taught you."

He's folding his arms, looking deeply stung by this turn of events. Practically sulking. "Honestly, you stab a guy one time..."

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel just gives his brother a Look, folding his own arms across his chest. "One step at a time, bro. What do you want? Besides the hug."

[angelfire]

"Would you believe 'peace on Earth and good will to all Men'?"

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel makes a rude sound. "You know there's a snowball's chance in hell of me believing that, right?"

[angelfire]

Lucifer has to cover his mouth to stop himself from outright laughing, and meets his brother's eyes just a moment later.

"Did you really just say a snowball's chance in Hell? One of these days, Gabriel--one of these days." He shook his head, and took a careful step forward. "Okay. So maybe I'm just feeling a little lonely."

[lotsoflaughs]

"What? It's a popular saying." Gabriel keeps a careful eye on his brother, wings rustling nervously. He believes Lucifer about him having no intention of hurting him, but still. "I'm sure that you've picked up a few things here and there."

[angelfire]

"It's a stupid popular saying. Hell is cold, so far is it away from His divine grace. It gets right into you."

He shrugged. "A snowball would have such a lovely time."
