It's Just the Nature of My Game

[the open feed turns on, showing Sam Winchester sitting on what may look like a throne of used cars]So, it seems that over the last few days, a few frightening images have come across this feed, and I felt that it was time that I come out to ease some of the fears you may have

I swear your last place was much better decorated, Sam-I-Am. This place... well, I just don't think it's you.

So, we're at an impasse. There's me, there's you and Deano, and then there's the goody-two-shoes feather-butts. No one fights a war on two fronts and wins. Castiel wants to get rid of both of us and make your brother all sparkly and human again so... I reckon it might be time to do some talking.

[he leans forward, hands under his chin. Because he really doesn't dislike Gabriel - for a feather brain he actually has a sense of humor - but Sam is tired of the damn games. And also doesn't plan on ever losing his brother.]

You have my attention, Gabby.

[The angel's lips twitch slightly at the nickname, but whatever. He's had worse.]

May I sit? [He waits for an affirmation before he does anything- he's in the presence of royalty, after all, but once he knows he's allowed, he snaps up a fairly standard brown leather arm-chair, and settles into it.]

Joanna-Beth came to bother me the other day. She wanted us all to get along like happy families, blah blah blah. We both know that ain't about to happen, right? Offer me a deal. But... I'm really not sold on her offer. You know, suffering now, milk and honey later? That's really not my thing.

And we've both seen what Castiel is happy to do here, who the hells were those bozos anyway? They didn't look like your guys. Whatever, he's going to drag everyone into a war that, okay, maybe no one can win here. I get that. This isn't the [open air-quotes]"time or the place"[close air-quotes]. And we all know how important that is to the story. But if he keeps on like this, someone is going to gank him just for disturbing the peace

[likely_evil]

Of course.

Castiel has been working the same angle with Dean as well, so I'm aware of their meddling. And you are correct, they weren't mine. You would think they would know that, but the do seem to have a very narrow field of vision when it comes to demons from any world.

[he leans back, smiling] I will admit, when I'm not trapped in the middle of one of your jokes, they are very humorous. What is it you're thinking of doing to him?

[trickster_mk2]

Hey, demons are demons. If you're not picky about it, then a demon is a demon is a demon, right? At least to us. Got to say that even your brother makes me feel itchy, and he's not even as bad as most of them. Good thing some of us grew to be more than good little marching boys, huh? [Because Castiel can't over-come those instincts, and that's a problem. You're not free until you can shake off everything that you were made to be, and take on your own identity]

To Cas? Depends. He didn't much like being stuck in the dungeon dimensions last time, but it's lazy to repeat a prank, right? Right. I might just trap his Grace in something, tie it here. Build him a nice little seraph-sized Cage. Dad isn't the only one who could do it, after all. [He shrugs, he's not decided yet, but he will, oh Dad he will.]

So, you and me, think we could form an... holy alliance? Just for the duration.

[likely_evil]

I don't see why not. However, that will be on the condition that you not even speak of your caged brother in my presence. That's the only thing I ask. Deal?

[trickster_mk2]

The only thing, Samsquash? Why do I get the feeling I'm getting off lightly?

[likely_evil]

Perhaps I am being light on you, but in all honesty, there are other things that are worse here that we both are dealing with and I can be tolerant of much in the wake of that. I just do not wish to have this turn into another scheme of yours to try and win me to becoming the vessel.

[trickster_mk2]

You know me too well, Boy-King. Do you think I'd really try anything like that? Or more importantly, do you think I'd succeed?

[likely_evil]

Try, yes. It's your nature. Succeed, probably not.
