On future plans.

[reigninhell]

Wait. You're going to do what with me? ...mun, that's almost cute, but I don't think even you can... Well. Maybe you can.

Still, if you're planning on breaking me, know that I put up a hell of a fight.

Get it? Hell of a fight?

All right, maybe even Gabriel wouldn't use that one. But I bet it appeals to that tiny pea you call a brain.

[She's pretty sure no one will find that funny. But she at least keeps from mentioning that or grimacing. And that's a lot harder than it sounds.]

What's Your plan?

[reigninhell]

[Bless you, Ruby. Or not. The demonic version.]

Mun's planning to send me to that island she's so fond of, where she has the bird and the angel-snogger.

After Michael takes a crack at me.

[malleusmaleficarum]

Takes a crack at You?

[She wants to ask if He means the Fall or if he means Game Day, but that's a really awkward question to ask without offending Him. So, she opts not to ask and continue breathing.]

You'll have bested him, right? I mean, she's not planning on sending You here with nothing a Band Aid can't handle, is she?

[reigninhell]

No, I don't think I will have.

[And he's not happy about it.]

Evidently she's worried about me murdering everyone in the place.

[malleusmaleficarum]

[Ruby frowns.]

You only kill those that deserve it.

[A very long pause.]

On second thought, You would probably slaughter everyone there. I've thought about it once or twice myself.

[reigninhell]

[He cracks a smile, for her benefit, though he's mentally distracted.]

That bad, huh? At least I'll have someone to talk to.

[malleusmaleficarum]

[That gives her pause.]

I'm not really sure that'd be the smartest thing to do. The Winchesters haven't exactly been singing Your praises...

[reigninhell]

I won't look like this when I get there. Mun's finding me a new vessel who won't fall apart.

[Waves a hand.]

It would take more than the Winchesters to rat me out.

[malleusmaleficarum]

Some of Your brothers are there, Father. Gabriel, in particular.

[She's not doubting him being able to hide from most everyone else, but family's pretty hard to fool.]

[reigninhell]

[At that, there's a long pause.]

Gabriel's alive there?

...that complicates things, yes.

[malleusmaleficarum]

He came with You, actually. But after You killed a porter, he bound You to Your vessel. [She tenses a little. Not a bomb she really wants to drop.] Gabriel made You as human as You could get before dumping You somewhere else.

[reigninhell]

Did he.

[Well.]

How considerate of him.

[malleusmaleficarum]

And You should probably also know. This place is run by the Church.

[She says it with a slight smile though. It won't really mean much that they side with God. Still, important piece of information.]

[reigninhell]

The Church, in charge of an operation that large?

Who's pulling their chain?

[malleusmaleficarum]

That's what I'm trying to find out. I've got a few people helping me and I've laid down a few terms for a goody-goody angel who apparently is having a tiff with God.

[reigninhell]

[Hm.]

Sounds like you've been busy.

[malleusmaleficarum]

[It's been a struggle since day one for Ruby.]

I'd rather not get caught with my pants down.

[reigninhell]

I imagine so, if there's more of my family than Gabriel there...

[malleusmaleficarum]

Nobody I can't handle.

[Truth be told, Lucifer's presence will actually complicate things for her.]

I don't exactly get sympathy around here, but there's enough who choose not to get involved.

[reigninhell]

[He's considering.]

If I wasn't getting stir-crazy in this headspace, I'd rather not deal with it at all. Not my decision, though.

[Story of his life.]

[larker]

Wow, Lucy. Even I wouldn't use that one.

[reigninhell]

I've been in this headspace a while with nothing to do.

[Enjoy your side-eye, Gabe.]

[larker]

That's just terrible. Before we know it you'll be wearing sportswear and tagging everything with #YOLO.

[Seemingly oblivious to the side-eye.]

[reigninhell]

Do I even want to know what that means?

[larker]

Not really, but I will say it's like a human-made form of natural selection. I don't think even people would cry when those who use it suddenly drop dead.

[Shrugs, pulls out some candy to nom on as he keeps an eye on his brother.] So, mundane problems? Really?
