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.]

Popular belief is not always correct.

[He wants to continue and tell her that they weren't guardians, they didn't exist to cater to what was expected of them, they didn't really care if people liked what they were or not. But that's bitterness, especially at the moment, and he refrains.]

We aren't. We share similarities, but presuming that when we display emotion or fight amongst each other we are acting humanly isn't true.

[Because as human as he might be, especially him in particular, he was an angel.]

[She snorts softly -- you didn't have to tell her twice that popular belief wasn't always correct. She spent most of her life being told she was a witch. When, really, she was nothing of the sort. Witches are whores.]

Cas, that's all humans do.

The same can be said of nearly any type of creature or being, and that doesn't make them the same.

[Many times he's wondered if, should people stop expecting angels to act like humans, they'd have less problems. They were expected to react to things like humans did, to care about the same things, to understand things the same way. But they didn't, always. Sometimes hardly ever.]

[Rei opens her mouth to argue, but closes it, because Castiel is right, and she acknowledges it with something of a nod to herself. It was a good point -- humans expecting far too much out of beings that really had their own problems to deal with.]

I'm guessing you guys have bigger and better things to do than to cater to the masses, anyway.

[And she flashes him a quick smile, more to show that she doesn't hold anything against the disagreement, before she changes the subject.]

I'm going to test my fire on Gabriel today, if you want to watch something funny.

[Offline] wingsandwill July 2 2011, 05:34:12 UTC

Not necessarily, but the assumption that are supposed to concern ourselves with the issues of others simply because of what we are is trying.

[Honestly, though Castiel cared a bit for the population in general, aside from a few particular individuals he was protecting those here mostly because Dean cared. Castiel would fight to the death to ensure the safety of the individuals that mattered to him, but most of those present in Astringendum didn't fall under that. Putting himself at risk time and time again to ensure their safety was beginning to wear on his patience, especially when they seemed to think it was the job of the angels to look after them.

At her last comment, he looks over at her.]

He agreed?

[Offline] marsfireignite July 2 2011, 13:39:41 UTC

[Rei has always believed that if you have the power to do something to help people, it's your responsibility to do it. She would fight to the death to protect the people of the city -- and has, she thinks with a rueful smile to herself. But she can't really blame Castiel for feeling the way he did on the matter -- Rei knows it frustrates her when people take advantage of the fact that she will always be there to get them out of a mess they created.

His question snaps her out of her thoughts.]

After a lot of coaxing, yeah, he did.

[Offline] wingsandwill July 2 2011, 17:34:31 UTC

[He's moderately surprised; he'd thought Gabriel might agree eventually, but then again, the archangel was unpredictable and it was a big thing to ask.]

You will have to inform me of the results. I don't believe he'd appreciate an audience.

[Castiel wouldn't have, after all.]

[Offline] marsfireignite July 2 2011, 20:29:35 UTC

I will. I'm sure he will too. He thinks I'm going to roast him alive.

[In jest, of course, but it's still insulting. 8(]

[Offline] wingsandwill July 2 2011, 20:43:23 UTC

It's unpleasant to be trapped, and we usually are not for anything but dire situations. The last time I was trapped before your attempt, it was by Lucifer.

[Offline] marsfireignite July 3 2011, 01:35:23 UTC

[She's quiet for a moment.]

I can test incineration on Lucifer, if you want.

[Offline] wingsandwill July 3 2011, 07:31:44 UTC

As much as I would like to see such a thing, you shouldn't take such a risk.

[Offline] marsfireignite July 3 2011, 07:40:48 UTC

I could do it, you know. It's just expanding the fire into a column and tightening the circle. And it'd be hilariously ironic for Lucifer to die by fire.

[...She's only being half-serious. But seriously, who traps their own family in holy fire unless it is for the sake of science? It bothers her. 8(]

[Offline] wingsandwill July 3 2011, 07:44:39 UTC

Don't tell Gabriel that.

[Because the idea of that she could do that, not to mention the idea of how, is a bit unsettling. He doesn't for a moment believe she'd harm him or Anna or Gabriel, but still.]

And all it would do is anger him, once he returned. I'm not certain holy fire will have the same exact effect on him, either; I set Michael on fire once, and it only banished him.

[Offline] marsfireignite July 3 2011, 07:47:33 UTC

I owe him a year's worth of favors for even agreeing -- I'm not crazy enough to give him a panic attack on top of getting him to agree to the experiment.

[She does huff a sigh out, though, and puts her chin in her hands, looking over at him with arched eyebrows.]

You set Michael on fire.

[Offline] wingsandwill July 3 2011, 07:53:40 UTC

[Castiel just nods; he owes Gabriel quite a few favors himself. Seems like the archangel's collecting them, albeit probably unintentionally.

At her question, he nods once more.]

Yes, with a molotov cocktail of holy oil. It worked decently enough, and I was mortal at the time, so there were few options available as far as effective weapons went.
