62 [Video] Filtered AWAY from the list*.

Jun 28, 2011 01:12

[Rei is sitting on the steps of the Temple of Heaven, reading an old leather bound book. For the most part, her surroundings look fairly untouched by the flooding -- it's the perk of living in a building with a massive staircase leading up to it. You're fairly high up and safe.

It looks like the feed started a little early, for Rei's liking -- but ( Read more... )

someone's having a birthday, usagi is the sweet one, evil: who needs it?, shinto priestess by day, spams the network more than sasuke, stupid angels, trying to do the right thing, experimenting with holy fire, rei throws parties right, friends = family, overprotective is my middle name, being social, party time! excellent!, she's great at parties!

[Hope you were listening for wings, Rei. Have an angel RIGHT outside your designated personal space, just staring. Looking displeased.]

[... sob, she was not. Though her reaction is a little better, this time around -- Rei only jumps instead of the dropping of objects and yelping when Castiel appears.

Her expression of surprise soon melts into exasperation as she presses the book into her lap, tilting her head up a little to look at him.]

You have a PCD, you know.

[Then, Rei pauses, before she frowns.]

-- did something happen?

[Offline] wingsandwill June 28 2011, 05:47:55 UTC

[But why would he want to use it when he knows where you are and that you're outside and he can talk in person? 8| Also he flat out ignores the question, annoyed.]

You were speaking with Raphael.

[... frown.

Great. Now she has a pissy former archangel on her stoop. 8(]

I'm fine.

[Offline] wingsandwill June 28 2011, 06:01:11 UTC

[Frown frown frown and don't mention the 'former' thing he's seriously missing those souls right now, which isn't helping the attitude.]

At the moment.

However, I distinctly remember asking you not to talk to her.

[Offline] marsfireignite June 28 2011, 06:06:49 UTC

[She isn't dumb, srsly. :| She stares at him for a moment before scooting over.]

Did you really come all the way over here to yell at me? Sit down.

[Offline] wingsandwill June 28 2011, 06:21:47 UTC

[He prefers standing, especially when he's agitated, and so ignores the gesture and order.]

Not only were you speaking with her, but you were antagonizing her.

[Offline] marsfireignite June 28 2011, 06:26:55 UTC

[She is not getting out of this.]

... I spent a week trapped inside, surrounded by water, Cas, and she was mocking us.

[But because he's not going to understand or care about that line of reasoning, Rei continues, though it's with some reluctance.]

I lost my temper. I'm sorry.

[Offline] wingsandwill June 28 2011, 06:51:37 UTC

[She's right that the first part means little to him, but he does understand the second, and the apology. He calms just a little, but he isn't done, though he sounds more stressed than annoyed now.]

You know that if you and she end up in a confrontation, it won't be simply you, or me, that become involved.

[Yes, he's going to go the guilting route, though not intentionally. But not only would he come to her aid, but then so likely would Gabriel, as well as half the city unrelated to the angels, then the other archangels would join in as well, and it would be a disaster.]

[Offline] marsfireignite June 28 2011, 16:43:51 UTC

[She purses her lips into a thin line before she looks away. She knows it's true -- as much as she hates it, she knows full well that her friends and allies would come to her aid in a heartbeat should Raphael decide to do something to her. Which would only get them all killed. She seriously doesn't appreciate having it shoved in her face in such a way, but Rei can't quite find the energy to be annoyed over it, so she says, tiredly:]

I know.

[Offline] wingsandwill June 28 2011, 17:56:10 UTC

[Well, that about killed the rest of Castiel's desire to argue with her. Now he's just kind of concerned, frowning slightly, studying her to try to figure out what's going on; if it was just the topic that upset her or if there was something else.

Of course, he can't really tell, and he doesn't bother to ask. So he just stares at her.]

[Offline] marsfireignite June 28 2011, 18:11:25 UTC

[She doesn't really notice his staring until she looks back up at him, idly wondering where the arguing and attitude went, before she drums her fingers on the cover of the book in her lap.

Explain or not.

Rei rolls her eyes to the sky to think.]

...I'm really tired of this place and how I'm always waiting for the peace to end. That's all.

[If it's not Raphael, it's going to be something else. And the sheer frustration in just waiting is not in her nature. Neither is hiding. And while Rei understands his annoyance and concern and, no doubt, fear, as he isn't as powerful as he once was, it only makes her more frustrated, because it only reinforces the certainty that something horrible is going to happen.]

[Offline] wingsandwill June 29 2011, 17:03:52 UTC

[Castiel just looks at her for another moment at her response, then gives a small sigh and moves to sit down next to her.]

I am as well.

[He understands, and it's somewhat comforting that she does too. He's tired of fighting and being constantly ready for something to happen, though that's nothing new since he's been here; it's the same way at home. There's never peace, even for a short time. He was beginning to wonder if Balthazar had been right, when his brother had told him the fighting would never stop.]

However, we can't change that right now. We simply have to deal with it.

[Which was of course easier said than done, especially now that he had even less power than before.]

[Offline] marsfireignite June 29 2011, 21:59:05 UTC

We can't change that ever, Cas. There's always going to be some lunatic who wants to take over this world or kill innocent people or make everyone miserable --

[She huffs the hair out of her eyes, frustrated.]

I've been just -- dealing with it since I got here.

[She pauses in her tiny tirade before falling silent, her shoulders slumping as she stares into her lap. There's a few moments more of silence before Rei hands the book in her lap to him, a silent offer. It's the Bible.]

... Usagi asked me, earlier, if you guys were really angels.

I thought I'd try to understand where you all come from.

[Offline] wingsandwill June 30 2011, 06:34:19 UTC

[Usually, Castiel is the depressing (or realistic) one of the group. But it looked like Rei was beating him at the moment in that regard.]

I know, and I understand.

[He takes the offered book, glancing down at it. He knew every page, not just of this version but of all the major ones published, in every language it was originally written in.

He looks over at Rei at her comment, head tilted slightly. Normally, he didn't bother to prove what he was to anyone--he generally didn't care if anyone believed him, as it changed nothing if they didn't--but it did matter, strangely, for some individuals. Rei was one of them, though she seemed not to be questioning herself, rather just curious.]

We are. What is the reason for the doubt?

[He pauses a moment, then makes an offer.]

If you have any questions, you can simply ask. The Bible is not the most accurate of works regarding us.

[Offline] marsfireignite June 30 2011, 14:37:27 UTC

Because what we think about angels and what you guys are -- they're totally different things.

[She purses her lips slightly.]

I think she was just disappointed to find out that angels are just as human as we are. That's all.

[She doesn't say that asking the angels about whether or not they're actually angels defeats the purpose of asking at all, though she appreciates the offer.]
