text; secret video

[strangelic]

Hello.

My name is Castiel, and I'm a healer. I'm pleased to tell you that I will now be available at the clinic for any purpose between healing a scratch and bringing you back from the brink of death. I would like to speak to anyone whose needs may be different from those of the average person, in particular if your physiology isn't human, or human similar. I can't heal my own kind, but it may be possible for me to assist others; I would simply prefer not to discover such flaws in an emergency.

Um. It's nice to meet you, if you're new here.

[ Unbeknownst to Castiel as he texts back to people his phone will also broadcast video of him as he texts with one of these two snapchat features auto-activated throughout the entire conversation. His text is also white. So fun. Want to tell him what's happening? ]

What did you see, Castiel? [If she's going to be involved in all of this, she thinks she deserves to know.

Even if the possibilities worry her.]

[ His attention slipped away from the ceiling, but now it went to his hands, which he squeezed firmly in his lap. He was nervous, unsettled. Speaking about Dean's emotions to anyone but Dean felt like it was mistreating him, somehow.

But more than that, he could still feel the despair of being in the Devil's Trap with that creature, pinned down, its breath on his throat, ready to kill him. ]

A demon. A demon stronger than I am; stronger than I was. It almost killed him. It would have killed me. [ Or worse. ]

[Jo goes pale. A demon. Stronger than Castiel...And it was still in the city? Wonderful. That was just what they needed.]

Where is it? Not in the caves?

[ Castiel hesitates, and turns his inscrutable gaze on her. Hadn't he been clear? ] It's inside him. It's what the fog showed us. His future, if he doesn't control the curse.

[He may have been clear, but she was hoping she misunderstood.

She hadn't. If it was possible for her to go more pale, she would, but it probably isn't at this point.]

So we'll stop it.

And if it takes him?

[ Castiel knows the answer to that, he just doesn't want to be the one who says it out loud. ]

[Jo doesn't want to say it either. She sighs quietly.]

We'll figure it out.

[ Castiel rose again, slowly, folding his arms across his chest. ]

I don't... [ Want to think about it any more. Want to talk about it any more. ] Is there anything else you're looking for? Food? Clothes?

action

[knifecollecting]

[Jo doesn't really want to talk about it either. The change of topic comes with a wave of relief.]

I found some food, but clothes are proving harder.
