[ She's always been a little less than composed when she addresses the network and she's not sure why. It's usually just initially, like she needs to warm up because she's talking to...well, a lot of people. And this may be seen as the dumbest idea ever, but hey, if she believes it's good, they'll believe it's good, right? ]

Hey there. So. I went away for a little while and now I'm back. Can't say I missed this place, but I'm sure you get it, right?

[ That, at least, she's sure everyone can relate to. Going home and coming back, realizing you're stuck again. Crying a little about it. ]

Anyway. It's nice to see all of you again. Kind of. Through this thing.

[ Get to the point, Patterson. She can almost hear Weller in her head. ]

So I was thinking about how nobody really has a birthday here, not in the traditional sense, I think, right? I'm sure some people have parties anyway, when they think of it, but. I was thinking - what about a birthday party for us? All of us? We kind of deserve it? And it would be retro-themed, so think Pin the Tail on the Donkey, water balloons, embarrassing games of Twister, ice cream cake. Just to name a few. I'm open to suggestions. Who's in?

I'm flexible on what to do about gifts for each other, so really, suggestions are totally welcome. On the subject of parties, what's the best party or birthday - or both - you ever had?

Ah, hello again, Wonderland. Did you miss me?

[Lucifer seems awfully chipper despite his rather ragged current appearance. There's a wide smile across his face, but his lips and cheeks are ravaged by what appears to be burns from the sun. Similar patches cover his shoulders and chest, which are bare despite the temperature outside. Though he still wears a pair of slacks, his shoes also seem to be missing.

If he's cold, he's hiding that fact relatively well. If someone were to look closely at the pattern of burns across his skin, they'd also notice that they're healing relatively rapidly.]

Of course, you did. As if there were any doubt.

[He starts trudging toward the mansion at a slow pace, though whether it's because he's feeling any pain, freezing, or simply not in a hurry is anyone's guess.]

I do hope everything is still where I left it. [He lifts a brow.] That means you too, Detective. And the bloody dog.

First Case.

Excuse me... I found this old phone on the ground.

[ And when he'd tried to dial a number for the police he couldn't get it to work, but it seemed to be working okay now..? If this feed was actually going to anyone, anyway. He sure hoped so. ]

I was wondering if anyone out there has a working phone? I seemed to misplace mine. I'd like to call a taxi if that's possible.

[ The last thing he wanted to do was spend the night in some weird large building. ]
