[When the video feed clicks on, it doesn't show her face. The time is right around sunset. The view pans over the Wastelands from Jinx's perch atop the Great Wall of China. She's a lot quieter than she was in her first post and a lot calmer.]

What's out there and what happens if I just keep walking?

This can't be the only city on this sad excuse for

The wastelands are unstable. They shift dimensionally and therefore may not actually have an end. I have not been able to reach one.

[He's not certain why he's being helpful, but Jinx is somewhat interesting and he's curious. Not to mention that if she's an enemy of Raven's, he should keep tabs on her.]

[hexdontlie]

Fascinating.

[This only makes her want to jump off the wall and go explore the place more.]

What's it like out there?

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

[By all means.]

Tumultuous and populated by strange creatures.

[audio]

[hexdontlie]

[But she's a scared little girl. You're obligated to help. Angel code.]

Can't be worse than combat practice. Or LA.

[A soft hum.] I'll have to pick up supplies for the trip...

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

[Never got that memo, sorry.]

There are dragons.

What sort of supplies?

[audio]

[hexdontlie]

[You really need to check your email, Cas.]

Fire-breathing worms. That's definitely LA.

Water, food, better shoes, and I wouldn't mind sunscreen.

[That sort of thing's Sam's job. 8|]

All of those things will be in short supply.

[And because he's curious, especially with the constant use of audio only, Castiel's going to find her. He doesn't even have to look with his senses, considering her broadcast of the view from the wall is more than enough to pinpoint her location.

Suddenly, with a rustle of feathers, he appears next to her on the Wall.]

[Jinx is on the wall alone. She has been alone since she got here, really. This place isn't very populated and it's quiet, which are things she's not at all used to. So, when there's the sudden rustle and large presence beside her, she's not at all prepared for it.

Startled, she whips around to see what the hell just popped up beside her, maybe even punch it, but her platforms lose their grip on her perch. A gasp escapes her as she slips and, well, falls right off the wall.

Just her luck.]

[Well. That had never happened before, though it had been only a matter of time before he startled someone in a dangerous way.

As it is, when she falls, he doesn't even think about it and reacts on instinct. He flies again, catching her easily enough mid fall and then lands them both safely on the ground, all in an instant.]

You should be more careful.

[hexdontlie]

[Well, at least it's not too long a fall. If she were more prepared for it, she probably could have caught herself. But this is definitely a fall on yourself and hope you don't break something fall. So she shuts her eyes and prepares herself for impact.

However, impact doesn't happen. Instead, something touches her shoulder and she's on her feet. Shaky, but perfectly all right. Which angers her, apparently.

With an animal growl, she opens her eyes and shoves Castiel away from her.]

What the hell is wrong with you!?

[Offline]

[wingsandwill]

[He's not expecting a shove, so he actually takes a step back from it, not that it really bothers him. At her question, he tilts his head slightly.]

Nothing.

[Offline]

[hexdontlie]

[She laughs in the manner someone about to kill someone else does. She clenches her clawed fists and hisses at him.]

No. There obviously is, because people who aren't fucking retarded don't just sneak up on people like that! What the hell! Why are you here!

[Offline]

[wingsandwill]

[He tilts his head farther, curiously. Why was she laughing? She seemed angry.]

I didn't sneak up on you. If I had, I would have arrived silently.

I was becoming tired of the audio only communication. Video is limiting enough, and just audio is worse.

[Offline]

[hexdontlie]

I don't want you here! Go away!

[She takes a step forward and shoves him again. This time, her eyes start glowing as she does, and there's more strength behind that shove than there should be.]

[Offline]

[wingsandwill]

[He really doesn't care if she wants him there or not. Not only is he intrigued by her out of simple curiosity, but also because he wants to get an idea of what she's capable of.

One again he doesn't bother resisting the shove, taking a few more steps back, far more interested in that her eyes are glowing than anything else.]

Are you human?

[Offline]

[hexdontlie]

Do I look human?

[Does she really want him to answer that? She grits her teeth together and growls again, eyes still glowing.]
