no one ever seems to be digging instead they're looking up towards the heavens; action

[rehymenator]

[ A tax-collector-looking dude is standing at some corner, while vines twine up around one of his legs. He peers down as it grows, looking much less worried than is probably normal, and more curious than is probably wise. ]

[We'll just say Sam is tralalalala-ing down the street when he notices the holy tax accountant, and he starts heading his way only to stop when he notices what the angel is just...letting happen.]

Uh...Cas?

[You in there, buddy?]

[rehymenator]

[ He's only mildly distracted with his own thoughts. Everyone always seeming to talk of investigation and action and yet no one executing. Himself included. ]

Hello, Sam.

[ In case he didn't notice, Castiel points to bring Sam's attention to the angel's new green er, buddy. ]

Don't touch it. It possesses-- hmm. An electric current. I'd say 450 volts.

[srsbusinessk]

[Sam's not really sure what's more strange: the fact that the plant has an electric current or the fact that it's hitting Cas with 450 volts and the guy's not even blinking. But he remembers what it was like to have an angel's body, so he just frowns in discontent and watches it continue on its way up the angel's leg.]

You aren't gonna do anything about it?

[rehymenator]

[ Well, Sam does have more than a modicum of common sense, and Castiel is...also Castiel. He nods once, before crouching down to take a closer look. ]

I'm more curious about where it's coming from. Give me your knife.

Uhm... Castiel?

[Alexis decides to take action. Kneeling down beside Castiel, she starts carefully pulling at the vines around his leg.]

[rehymenator]

[ As soon as her skin grazes one of the vines, Alexis will feel the electric current buzzing through it. Castiel snatches her hand away to save her from whatever current is leftover after being absorbed by his vessel. Hopefully she won't be too harmed. ]

You should be more careful here, Alexis.

[ To further his point, Castiel rips one of the leaves off to demonstrate the tiny sparks that shoot out. ]

[alexis_castle]

[She feels that shock but only moves her hands away when Castiel physically makes her. Watching the sparks, she shakes her head uncertainly.]

What's going on?

[rehymenator]

The vegetation is revolting.

[ It's matter of fact, and a simple statement. He doesn't know Alexis all that well, but he finds not threat in her. His lack of verbosity is one of indifference, rather than caution. ]
