[ At first, there is nothing but static, flaring louder and louder, and the picture onscreen dissolving into fuzzy gray and black lines. It rises and rises, hitting almost ear-piercing pitches, until, abruptly, it stops. There is a faint rustle that may or may not be wings. There is a pause, and then Castiel clears his throat. ]

Hello.

[Well, look who it is. Ear piercing pitches and all. Jo offers Cas a big, warm smile and chuckles.]

If you're looking for your trenchcoat, I'm pretty sure the droids don't have any.

[A pause.]

Hey there, Cas.

[ kjalgsda what is this how is she... ]

Jo Harvelle?

[incaution]

The one and only. [She'd do a big bow, but it's hard to do that and record yourself using a datapad.]

Is the whole questioning tone thing because you're not sure it's me, or you're not sure how I'm alive? [Yeah, that's kind of direct but it helps figure out what time the angel is from.]

[ofinsurrectum]

It is...very good to see you.

[ getting right to the point. oh jo, this is why castiel likes you. ]

The latter.

[incaution]

Don't worry, being gutted by hellhounds and then blown up didn't stop me from waking up here. Here being Coruscant, which is in some other universe. Pretty crazy explanation, but at least you don't have to worry about why a dead girl is talking to you.

[Yep yep, this is all so casually spoken.]

It's good to see you, Cas.

[ PAUSE while castiel considers this. ]

It is very good to see you as well. I...had heard what happened.

[incaution]

Dying's not that big a deal. I even just died and came back here, like a week ago. Once you get dressed, I can come find you and show you around. We should probably talk about Dean. He's...not the same as you'd remember.

[ there's the rustle of fabric. and castiel just frowning in such distaste. man, he already misses jimmy's suit and coat. ]

I can find you, if you would like.

[incaution]

If it's easier, go for it.

action!

[ofinsurrectum]

[ surprise jo, castiel is just appearing beside you wearing whatever castoffs the droid had given him and a scowl. ]

Re: action!

[incaution]

[She's happy to see him popping in here like this. His face is a sight for sore eyes, and she grins and offers him a wave.]

Better wipe that look off your face. Finding out you're stuck here is the easy part.

action!

[ofinsurrectum]

I am uncomfortable.

[ he hadn't even realized that he'd grown used to jimmy's clothes. ]

action!

[incaution]

You get used to it. [Shrug. Jo's not sure what advice to offer Cas, except to just get him used to the fact he's stuck here.]

At least you still got the whole teleportation thing going for you, right? It'll be that much easier for you to keep an eye on Dean that way.

action!

[ofinsurrectum]

I do not believe Dean wishes for me to keep an eye on him.

[ since that conversation went...well. ]

action!

[incaution]

I live and work with him so it's not like I don't do a decent job keeping an eye on him. I just know it's your thing. Your angel job.

action!

[ castiel's jaw tightens. looking after the winchesters, it was practically an instinct now, something as automatic as the breath in his vessel's lungs. even waging war against his brothers and maintaining his partnership with crowley, he had not been able to shake it. ]

It is. And I will continue to do so here.

[ invisible and silent and discreet. castiel had been a guardian once in his lifetime. he could do that again. ]
