We're all just posing questions to each other for fun, right?

Then, is immortality wrong for mortals to experience?

This isn't my... true body.

This is just a vessel.

[banworthy]

[ ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ]

I didn't realize angels could do something like that.

Ah, how rude. I'm Vincent. And you are?

Ah! Could it be "Castiel?"

[messenger]

It's the only way I can be here with you.

Yes. My name is Castiel.

[banworthy]

Whatever.

[ He's making a dismissive wave of his hand.

Know what - he has to ask! ]

Are you having a go at me? Is it because I went too hard with the first joke?

[messenger]

Why would I want to "have a go" at you?

[ sorry, vince, he's not into you that way. ]

[banworthy]

For fun?

[messenger]

No thank you.

[ you can't see the way he's wrinkling his nose, but you can hear it. ]

[banworthy]

What?

What do you mean by "no thank you?"

[ Pfft. ]

CasTIEL, An anGel oF tHE LoRD. You got me.

[messenger]

I'm not interested in you that way.

[ what??? ]

What? I don't understand.

[banworthy]

What? What are you talking about?

[ WHAT. ]

Listen. I can accept a lot of things. I'm probably more accepting than most. Even in the situation that we're in, I went forward with an "okay." You wish for me to accept an angel of the Lord is so dismissive of his God? [ This is where his contention is. Valtiel would never! ] Perhaps, that is why you are slated to die when you return - you did mention that, but the fact that your God lets you live at all?

Please.

[messenger]

My Father abandoned me, abandoned the world — He doesn't care enough to kill me. Why bother? The world is dying.

[ like a switch has been flipped, castiel's demeanor, which was a moment ago naive and bumbling, becomes hissed and venomous. ]

But, yes. I'm a poor excuse for an angel. I appreciate the reminder.

[banworthy]

[ Well, that pain sounds real. ]

[banworthy]

Do you play the fool to make humans feel at ease around you, angel?

You needn't do that for me, I assure you.

[ Let's start there before they go anywhere else, hm? ]

[messenger]

No.

I don't.

[banworthy]

Well, I guess this returns to being a poor excuse for an angel and an angel inhabiting a vessel.

But either way, you still have room to grow. In the latter description, anyway.

[messenger]

Would you like to hear my true voice? I think that could be arranged.

[banworthy]

Will my head explode?

[messenger]

There's a non-zero possibility.

[ he's pretty pissed. ]

[banworthy]

I'll have to say "no," then.

I'm sadly not yet suicidal, even if I've already died.

[ :) ]

[messenger]

A pity you didn't stay that way.

[banworthy]

Honestly, I agree.

[messenger]

... You do?

1/2

[banworthy]

Yes.

[banworthy]

I'll share something with you, Castiel, since we're growing so close to one another.

I don't care if I end up saving my universe that I go back to being a corpse.

My faith is stronger than yours.

[ castiel halts.

considering this. ]
