[032] [Video]

[The feed turns on abruptly as the tablet collides with a wall. It drops to the floor, the clattering warring with the furious yell to be heard. Nothing is seen of Castiel, and the feed only shows the wall and baseboard.]

Leave me alone.

[There's another furious crash off-screen, then too-still silence.]

Castiel? Uh, can you hear me?

[It's a moment before there's an answer. The tablet is picked up, the video skewed, and, while Castiel never comes into view, the tone of his voice says enough. There's an anger there that he can't contain.]

Stop talking. I can't-- [He cuts himself off, drawing a deep, shaky breath. His voice is still lined with anger; he's trying to reign it in.] Wait. Voodoo. I can hear you.

[Pause. What's said next isn't directed at her.] I can hear her.

[voodooing]

Stop talking to it. It's not real.

[to_rebel]

[Snarled:] Real enough.

Cas? Castiel? Are you ok, man?

Castiel, answer me?

[Video::Locked]

[to_rebel]

Quiet. [The video jerks as Castiel grabs the tablet.] Not now. Just... not now.

[He lowers his voice.]

Where are you? What's happening?

[Video::Locked]

[to_rebel]

It wants in.

[Action] Thread locked to Harry and Kate

[Castiel's heading for the field west of the city; it's a place he's gone before, to flee toward when the cave's walls started pressing in on him. He doesn't have much control and his step is uneven.

He just needs to get away.]

[Action] Hey ho, shall we keep this order?

[applikates]

[ She's been watching the network since this event started, and it was all very... personal, really. People seemed to know more than her, and she hadn't bothered to say anything about these things. But the crash came through far too clearly while she was running.

Who the hell was-- Wait. That voice.

Kate goes to respond, but the feed is far too still. ]

Great. [ It's nothing more than chance that she catches sight of someone almost stumbling their way down towards the field. There's no real plan to this, but she's close enough to guess who it is and follow him.

How was she supposed to stop this thing, exactly...? ]

[Action] Good for me.

[hellsbellsharry]

[Harry's in pursuit, long strides eating over the ground. He's got everything he needs, his amulet, his staff, his blasting rod, his rings and his shield bracelet. He wished he has his old duster, but the fresh new one he'd just picked up would have to do.

Glancing to the side, he catches sight of a bright haired woman tracking Cas the same way. He might have help... or she might get dead. ]

[Action] \o/

[to_rebel]

[The all-encompassing anger is... brutal, to put it lightly. The demon is less than gentle, cruelly tearing at cracks and half-healed scars in his mind.

He senses them behind him and he stops. The demon wants a fight.]

[Tablet]

[chosefamily]

[Yeah, that doesn't sound good.]

Cas? Cas, what's going on?

[Of course, Sam's already moving. Cas, at least, he can tell where he is.]

[Whether he'll still be there when Sam gets there is another question.]

[Tablet]

[to_rebel]

[His answer is short and to the point. He does not want people involved in this; he'd hurt them. It would hurt them.]

Leave it.

[The feed is shaky; Castiel's moving.]

[...Why the hell did I write Tablet? I think I meant Voice. Silly morning brain.]

[chosefamily]

Because I'm so good at 'leaving things'. Where are you?

[... it's okay. I didn't even notice. Brain's not in gear yet, I guess.]

[to_rebel]

Nowhere you need to be. [It's clipped and angry and his voice is shaking. It might be with anger or fear or any combination of them.]

[Voice]

[will_end_you]

Cas? Are you all right?

[Voice]

[to_rebel]

No. [At least he's honest.]

[Voice]

[will_end_you]

[Well there's something to be said for that, at least.]

Where are you?

[Voice]

[to_rebel]

Stop talking. [It's savage. Snarled. This is... not really Castiel.]
