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. ]

It's the first language of all angels, how we communicate with each other.

Um...vampires, I believe, you behead. Beheading tends to work for most things. Dead man's blood can also kill them.

You're an angel. [Even with his usual unflappable sunny disposition, even Elmer can sound incredulous sometimes. Like right now. At least his next question sounds more earnest.] An angel, and yet you're trapped in here too?

Huh. And here I always thought it was the reverse! Behead a zombie, stake the vampire. I'll try to keep that in mind in case one or the other ever show up here. Which, considering the rate new monsters like to show up, is a distinct possibility. At least now I'm properly prepared!

[See, he can put a positive spin on anything.]

Even angels can be trapped. Perhaps more easily, because of our magic.

[ Maybe it isn't the best thing to admit, but it's the honest truth, and Cas isn't in a hurry to avoid the topic, or lie unnecessarily. It just is. ]

You will be. Although perhaps...if you're not used to fighting monsters, it might be best to leave it to the professionals.

[keep_smiling]

And here I'd have thought you'd have the magic to get yourself unstuck. What a shame!

[Nope, not believing this guy's an angel. Magical, sure, but honest-to-goodness angel is a leap Elmer can't make.]

You have a point. I'm not much for fighting. I wouldn't say I'm a pacifist, exactly, but I am all about spreading smiles, not violence.

[strangelic]

I wouldn't wish to leave my friends here without me, even if I could.

[ Everyone is just so rude. If he was an honest-to-goodness unicorn that would be pretty easy to believe, right? But then, disbelief isn't novel to him at all, so he'll put up with it. ]

I only fight when I have to, as well. Spreading smiles is truly a fine vocation, however.
