I want to--Um...

I feel like life would be improved here if we all played more games, and... [ Kate, why are you making him do this? ] I-I wanted to ask if anyone else had any games that they could teach us. Party games, this time, not card games. Like Twister.

[ He glances off screen cautiously, then looks back, trying to seem more courageous on the subject than he is. ]

Kate thinks that life here would be much improved if we all played more together, and I have to agree with her. Play is important...for the well being of people, especially those who don't have anything else to occupy their time.

So...that is to say, if we could organize a...party, I suppose, everyone would be invited. We could hold it at the bar.

[ Yep, that's it. ]

How do you mean?

[ He needs a blow by blow, okay. ]

Well they wouldn't be hosted at a BAR. Parties (or balls) would have formal wear and if people did play games, they would be card games or word games, not whatever Twister is.

Oh, I see. Balls are much more uncommon than they used to be, but I remember the beautiful dresses. We only watched humanity, at the time.

This is a much...it's a less socially strict affair. You might find you enjoy it.

I doubt I will.

[ mostly because he's a stiff little man who doesn't know to have fun. But on another note, ]

If you watched humanity, then what are you?

[ One round of Twister that's all he asks. ]

I'm an angel. A seraph, to be exact.

Interesting. I don't think I've met a proper angel before.

[ just fallen ones...... ]

As opposed to?

[ How can someone not be a proper angel, that's the question. It's a very puzzling statement to poor Cas. ]

A fallen one.

[ wamp wamp waaaaamp ]

So a fallen angel is no longer "proper"?

[ Important questions first. ]

I'd assume you would think so. Besides, compared with the depiction of angels in the Bible and in art, they were hardly 'proper.'

There are different kinds of falling. Being ejected forcefully from Heaven, as Lucifer was, is the worst of them.

I am fallen, in my own way, but I still have my wings. They just aren't quite as theological art might present them. My feathers, if human eyes could see them, would appear quite black.

"When Lucifer fell, he did not fall alone." I know that much from my home.

So you are 'fallen' but not ejected.

No, he did not fall alone. There were others, those he drew to his cause, who fought beside him.

But yes, that would be accurate. I defied Heaven, and I am no longer welcome.

I dealt with some of those others back in my home.

I'm pleased to know you aren't of that sort.

[ because dammit, he doesn't want to have to deal with witches/vampires. ]

I think that those who absconded with him, where I am from, are mostly dead.

You know that Lucifer is here, don't you? A version of him.

[ wait hold on what. ]

I didn't know that.

He's really very nice. Not the same as my version. I think you'd be surprised.

I honestly doubt I will.

I thought so too, but I was incorrect. That, given that I was instrumental in Lucifer's reimprisonment in my world, and had every reason to see him as an enemy.

[ Says nothing about also being instrumental in his release. ]

In other worlds, you're slacking.

[ guess who still has to deal with Lucifer? :| ]

I'm sorry to hear that. Your Lucifer is... You've met him?

I've dealt with his followers more than I'd like to admit.

[ part of Victor's mind is all "what the hell? Don't tell people this!" but the other part of Victor's mind is all "I don't caaaaare, I've stopped caring, I don't caaaaare." ]

I understand very well how that can be. In my world the lines were not as well drawn as I had thought.

I'm pleased to hear that even an angel finds his whole situation a tad aggravating.

I could tell you stories.

Perhaps you could tell me stories as well. You're the newcomer working at the clinic, aren't you?
