meatsuits and vessels, and the ground in-between - PG, gentigriswolfMarch 5 2010, 23:51:22 UTC
None of them actually need meatsuits, of course. Bodies of flesh and bone and blood are useful for interaction with Father's lesser creations, but the final war will happen with or without them.
Demons enjoy wearing flesh. It's warm and cozy, and hearing the soul scream while the body does something horrific is such fun. Angels feel constrained, tethered and chained, but because it is necessary, they ask permission and take care to not damage the vessel too much, and then heal their host as they leave.
Michael’s first human vessel is named John Winchester. As he speaks to John’s son, he can feel John crumbling around him, weak and human and not enough to house the glory of God’s Weapon. But he is careful and ensures that John will be even better after the possession. And he knows that Dean will be able to take him all.
Lucifer’s first human vessel dies the moment Lucifer takes him, and the body doesn’t last much longer. Lucifer wears him without care; Nick is nothing except the means to an end, and Samuel will actually be enough.
Castiel talks to Jimmy, asks questions and answers queries. Whenever Dean says something that doesn’t make sense, Castiel goes to Jimmy for clarification. After the re-indoctrination, though, Jimmy refuses to communicate at all, so Castiel gently tucks Jimmy away and lets him sleep, dreaming of Amelia and Claire. And after Raphael tears Castiel apart, Jimmy is no longer there. Castiel is alone and so little makes sense, but Father has returned. Of that, he is sure.
As Michael and Lucifer spiral toward their true vessels, Castiel feels himself growing more human, his wings tattering while the body that was once Jimmy’s hungers.
Dean and Sam will never say yes, he knows. So why his brothers don’t just battle it out in their true bodies, he has no idea.
Of course, he thinks, watching Dean and Sam eat dinner, wondering if a triple bacon burger can possibly taste as good as he remembers it tasting, even Michael has his pride. Maybe the fact that Dean refuses to submit is the only reason why Michael still pursues him. And Lucifer merely wants Sam to fall.
“Here,” Dean grouses, handing over half his burger. “Quit givin’ me Sam’s puppy-eyes.”
Lucifer and Michael will fail.
Castiel bites into the burger and finds that, yes, it tastes just as good as it did beneath Famine’s influence. Maybe even better.
