I've seen what you've done to Gabriel. I'd rather you 'put me back in the closet'.

... Why are you laughing?

Comments

[betterthisway]

Closets are dark. And lack essential details like... flowers and bees. Why... why would anyone want that?

[thursdaysangel]

... What's wrong with you?

[delightme]

You really can't be that naive, Cassy.

[thursdaysangel]

Balthazar. Why are you here?

[delightme]

Well, a fine hello to you, too. Did you knock your head against something? Or did you conveniently forget that we're brothers, giving me every reason to be around you?

[thursdaysangel]

You're meant to be stationed at the three-hundred-fifty-sixth seal. Why aren't you there?

[secondguessing]

[ Guess who knows what's funny but isn't telling. ]

They're a bit sadistic.

[thursdaysangel]

I'd almost go so far as to say 'a representation of humanity at their worst'.

[secondguessing]

Certainly their most self-indulgent. Er, I'd reserve 'worst' for other things, generally. Such as genocide.

[thursdaysangel]

They're torturing thousands of beings. Even if many of those beings deserve to be punished, it seems ... excessive.

[He's a bit prickly about torture right now.]

[machaseh]

It depends which one.

[thursdaysangel]

[Immediate deferring posture.]

Of course, Michael.

[Waitaminute. Cue confusion.]

... But there's only one Gabriel.

[machaseh]

I've learned otherwise.

[ He smiles, trying to put Castiel at his ease. ]

How are you, brother?

[diabolism]

How like a human to make such a crass joke.

[thursdaysangel]

[... Give him a moment to rein in that fight-or-flee reflex.]

I, uh, don't understand.

[diabolism]

[well it's a good thing he's patient then]

Really? You don't? How adorable is that.

[teenagebadboy]

...wow. That's not the best choice of words.

[thursdaysangel]

It was her choice of words to begin with.

... What was wrong with it?

[teenagebadboy]

You know of homosexuals right? Well, when a homosexual comes out that is called "coming out of the closet". Getting back into the closet means that you try to stop being homosexual. Got it?

[upstairsbrain]

They... like to laugh at us, Cas. Our misfortunes, and all that.

[thursdaysangel]

Why? What purpose does all this serve?

[upstairsbrain]

Entertainment for them. A lot of 'em are sadists.

[grace_optional]

Might as well get used to it. They don't listen, and they laugh a lot.

[thursdaysangel]

Anna. I need to get back. You--

[He stops, hesitates. It would be safer here for Anna, but at the same time part of him feels reassured that she might be nearby, after ... Uriel. In the end he says nothing.]

[grace_optional]

[Gently] I'm not sure you'll be able to get back, Cas. It's all up to your mun now.

[She pauses, regarding him somberly for a moment, then drops her eyes. This is painful. The things he doesn't yet know...and hasn't yet done. Maybe this one never will. She can hope there's at least one Castiel, somewhere, who wouldn't/didn't/won't.]

Me? Well, that's not vague at all... [She sighs.] Look, I want to help. All you ever have to do is ask.

[Admittedly, not treating her like a plague carrier or handing her over to Zachariah's goons would be good, too.]
