[ he's long since accepted his fate, though sending a message like this to a 'sibling' is another level of insanity. ]

I'm very sorry. My phone has been doing this since the blackout. It wont stop.

[angeloffriyay]

[ This place is special but somehow Anael thought there'd be limits. Apparently, she was wrong. ]

Sorry to hear it. ... I hope nobody got any weird texts from me.

Did you ... mean to text somebody else about the state of your vessel's private parts?

[nuntius]

It's entirely possible. They're being sent out with our names attached.

I didn't. I guess these messages are being created on our behalf. I certainly wouldn't have sent anyone a message like that.

[ not worded like that, anyway. ]

[angeloffriyay]

Wonderful. So nice to see my reputation tarnished before it's even a thing.

Do they reflect your true thoughts? I mean, I am aware that my vessel is pretty nice to look at for a human.

[ Is she just fucking with him? You betcha. ]

[nuntius]

I understand completely.

[ skdjhf he is so flustered. ]

It is very attractive but that isn't what I was thinking about.

[angeloffriyay]

I knew you would. Well, can't be helped, it seems.

[ She is enjoying herself entirely too much in the meantime. She's not even sorry. ]

Flirting really isn't your forte, is it? But I guess you have never needed to, Castiel.

What were you thinking about? Come on, you can tell me.

[nuntius]

At least it wasn't private photos this time.

I admit I'm not very good at it. There was never any need for me to try. And I wasn't thinking about anything sexual.

You're incredibly nosy. You know that?

[angeloffriyay]

Photos? Oh, what was in them? Some nice unsolicited dick pics?

You don't have to. You are charming in your own way.

[ And for some people - she's thinking of someone in particular if she's frank - that is far more than enough. Though she's sure that his flirting would be incredibly awkward and thus highly endearing, too. ]

I think I am credibly nosy, actually. You are my favorite brother, so - of course - I want to know what you are up to. That you are okay. Doing well. Making friends. Normal things.

[nuntius]

Among other things. And thank you.

[ He thinks. He's not sure if he's being made fun of or not, here. ]

I'm your favorite? [ Yes that's his takeaway. ]

[angeloffriyay]

Among other things? I need to be prepared for what might come my way, too, you know?

You're welcome. [ She's teasing him, sure, but she's serious as well. ]

You didn't know? I thought that was obvious even though we haven't seen each other in a while. [ From his perspective anyway. ]

[nuntius]

The drugs will affect you. It's best to be prepared to have intercourse with strangers.

I never realized, no. But thank you. You're...my favorite sibling, too. [ One of the only ones who haven't tried to kill him.

Yet, anyway. He only caught glimpses of the future, not the full picture. ]

[angeloffriyay]

There is no way to avoid them completely, is there? I will just see what happens, I guess. No use crying over what may or may not happen.

Mh, I didn't expect you to say that if I'm honest. There are so many others you spent more time with, whom you fought alongside. You and I ... Our areas of usefulness have always been very different. [ That is such a heartbreakingly low bar ...

He can't know that but she won't. Not just because she likes him - but also because it would end with her death instead of his. There is no way it wouldn't. Fighting has never been her area of expertise and her first instinct will always be to run rather than draw her angel blade. ]

[nuntius]

No, not really. I don’t like saying it’s best to accept it, because it’s all fairly dubious, but it is, unfortunately.

Most of our siblings have tried - or will try - to kill mr at some point.

Not that I particularly blame them. I personally haven’t made those mistakes yet, but I’ve seen enough to know I deserve it.

[angeloffriyay]

If there is no way to fight this - and there are so many people here, I am sure plenty of them have tried - then what's the point? I am just personally trying to make this as easy on me as I possibly can. Surely you are doing the same.

I know it's just my word but I have never attacked you, Castiel. I am not much of a fighter anyway, so it would only get me dead and I don't like the sound of that. I like living.

I like to think that you have always tried to do the right thing and to help. The same can't be said of all of them ... But you know what they say about good intentions.

[nuntius]

I am, yes. I can't pretend I haven't enjoyed myself, though.

I believe you. You've never been a warrior, not really. As much as they like to blame me for breaking the mold, there are others who have done it as well. You, Anna.

They pave the way to hell, I believe is the idiom. Or Purgatory, it seems. In my case, anyway - though that hasn't happened for me just yet.

[angeloffriyay]

Why would you want to pretend you haven't? What's wrong with having a good time?

No. I haven't. I've always ... Been trying to help. Make heaven better. But nobody wanted that. They wanted me to just listen and do what I was told. So eventually I left ...

Anna's way was too extreme for my taste and then look what happened to her. I wasn't there, but the things I heard ... It's just sad. So much of what happened.

They do. They really do in my experience as well as yours.

It must be confusing and strange for you to know that I am from your future. I don't know if it'd help at all and I am not privy to everything that happened since I was doing my own thing but. If you ever decide that you want to know something, you can read my memories.

[ It's not an offer made lightly. There is a chance he'd see their meeting on earth and her working with Lucifer and then think differently of her. But she wants to help him if she can and ... yeah, she is too much of a coward to discuss the Lucifer thing with him just now. Maybe one day. ]

[nuntius]

You know why. We weren't programmed created that way.

It's extremely strange. Dean is also from my future - he's told me some things, and several months ago some of us were shown visions of what was to come, and it verified what he said. I can only assume the other things I saw to be true as well.

...Thank you. I'm not sure I want to know anymore, it appears I make a great many mistakes. It's likely better if I remain here for the rest of eternity.

[angeloffriyay]

I don't care about what we were created to do. Not anymore. We deserve to have a life. GOD had a life. He just left and got one. Why not us?

If you ever do change your mind ... just let me know, Castiel. I will tell you, show you, whatever you need.

[nuntius]

Touché.

I appreciate the offer. When I’m ready.

[angeloffriyay]

😇😉

Whenever that may be. Take your time. I'm here.
