[After spending a good deal of the previous day and night heavily drinking, waking up to the sound of someone screaming was not what ne had expected so early in the morning.

Coming face to face with an animal instead of the suspected human should have been a sign ne'd had more to drink than ne thought in the first place. And wait...wasn't someone missing? Oh well.

That the animal spoke? Yeah, never mind this was just getting to be typical wasn't it? ]

[Hatter turns on the device so the City is offered a shot of the annoying thing.]

It's about time you woke up. You truly are worthless. There are better things to do than lay around all day unless you wish to take the Lord and Lady's place instead?

[Instead of responding to the bird, ne looks to the device.]

Still? Should One be happy it's only this day instead of both?

...My God it speaks.

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

I could say the same for you.

[That's who was missing.]

It appears so. And quite loudly.

Private

[worldofourown]

Is it the City's idea of a pet?

[ Alas. He got spirited off to Phantomhive manor. And handcuffed to Solomon. Damn weekends. ]

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

Daemon. Soul. Spirit. As if I would be anything so mundane as to be a pet to any.

A part of this One it is. So apparently not.

[Nothing says family time like bondage.]

Private

[worldofourown]

Quite the attitude. [ Well, this is the Satan of Pride. ] Would harm befall you if you accidentally killed it?

[ He's positive he'd strangle his own. ]

[Do you know how hard it is to change records on a phonograph with no hands? Crowley's feeling testy.]

This really is one of those weekends.

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

[There's a visible ruffling of feathers at the meer thought. Shame on you Karl.]

Did you not understand the word soul? We are one.

[And now that ne's a little more awake and thinking...]

As it says. [those feathers ruffle again] It seems we are connected too far for that.

[Not that killing it would keep you dead Karl.]

Video

[indecent_butterfly]

Cursed again are we?

[Ne just suffered other's curses yesterday.]

Not even a proper turn.

Private

[worldofourown]

I heard you fine, Prissy Miss Peacock.

[ Totally going to treat Peacock and Hatter as two separate entities. Just because. ]

...If it's your soul, is it hungover? Do Devils get hungover?

[ This whole concept is very fascinating to him, okay? ]

[valentineluke]

Interesting. For a bird, I would have guessed something from the corvid family.

It's not that there's anything wrong with being a snake, but if I were a bit larger, your... companion would look tasty. Do you think the feathers would get stuck in my throat?

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

[Lots of ruffled feathers and a quick flash of the full tail--no female here.]

You should open your eyes and see before speaking.

[Thanks Karl. Although, ne now wants one of the pretty feathers. Not sure how happy the bird would be about that. Ne reaches down and pets him instead trying to sooth it's frazzled...well pride.]

Hungover? No. Invented it and taught more humans about it than wanted to know.

[indecent_butterfly]

I am appropriate no matter what you would think.

[The bird gets a soft pat on the beak. Pride or not, manners.]

Odd enough to see at all.

Private

[worldofourown]

But the colors. They might blind me.

[ The peacock is fun to tease. He wants one of the feathers too. ]

So much the better. [ Pause. ] Going to lead that bird around on a pretty leash today?

Video

[indecent_butterfly]

And if you were a little smaller, I'd say the same. Though there'd be no problem going down.

One likes the feathers where they are. [Ne reaches down to pet the bird promising it that's where they will stay as well.]

Video

[itsjustafruit]

If I were the type, I'd have a comment about the ease of going down, but I'm better than that.

[Besides, the thought of eating Hatter's soul? Shudder.]

[valentineluke]

No offense intended. What is your name, peacock.

Not at all. I've experienced this one quite happily numerous times. Whenever Celeste reappears, I'll definitely introduce her to you both.

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

[May be, but he's not the only one getting annoyed. It's kind of growing on nem.]

It would serve you right if it did.

One plans on staying home until the day is done. And then much longer.

Private

[worldofourown]

[ Mock-pouting at the bird. ]

Cruel.

[ Pride's day in, hm? ]

Either way, I'll send you a little something in the evening. As a thanks for letting me sample that liquid cheer.

[ And for blowing him up? Because he enjoyed that. ]

Video

[indecent_butterfly]

Better still to remember your place.

Ignore him, his tongue is as sharp as the beak.

[Couldn't possibly be tasty, all spoiled and stuff.]

Video

[itsjustafruit]

I should have done in the first place. [He must be feeling young and impetuous.]

[dignity_misery]

I hate this curse.

[godoftricks]

A friend of yours?

[indecent_butterfly]

Hmm so you would say. Behellagh.

And what manner of creature is she?

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

[The bird cares not.]

Honest. You shouldn't think you deserve better?

A present? Perhaps this One should cover you in feathers more often.

[Ne knows.]
