Um... I'm Castiel. Some of you know me, obviously. I sometimes show myself at the clinic--I'm a healer. Well. [ He looks down into his lap. ] I try to be. The ailment that so badly hit us last month was beyond my ability to remedy, and for that I am deeply sorry.

However if there is anything, any scrape, any...broken leg, or incurable sickness... I should be able to resolve it. Should be. Given the state of my powers here, it does seem to be a game of chance. But I have healed far worse in the past. It's better, surely, to let me try than to live with pain and scarring when I might help with both.

But that isn't what I was here to say, not really. I wanted to... I want to...

I haven't been very clear, and I feel that it's important, given the way things were, and the way things will likely be again. I hear you, all of you, when you turn to prayer. It's impossible to avoid, and while I understand that it is private... I just wanted to apologize, either way.


[ ooc: Castiel doesn't hear all character's prayers since you can opt out of that on his permissions post, however! It's a fun way to make new CR with him if you're interested; just drop him a prayer in his IC inbox! ]

Dude, it's cool.

[ He pauses. ] Hey, uh. Do you hear any of the prayers from people outside this place? Or is it strictly just a 'here' thing?

[ He's maybe thinking about his sister. Maybe. ]

[strangelic]

I'm sorry. It's like the world beyond the walls of this cave simply doesn't exist. As for further, from home...it's all lost to me.

I'm sorry.

[fulminants]

What? Nah, it's cool! Just thought I'd try.

Hey, you doing okay?

[strangelic]

Yes, um... Very well, actually. I'm very happy.

[ God, Cas, cause it doesn't sound like it at all. Not even a little bit. ]

[fulminants]

[ ... huh. ]

I've seen people getting a prostate exam who look way more thrilled than you.

[strangelic]

I can imagine that prostate exams can be very exciting, if you aren't used to being stimulated that way.

[ Please. ]

[fulminants]

[ CASTIEL PLS

johnny's brows raise in amusement ]

No, that was a figure of speech! [ A beat, then. ] Wait, are you used to being stimulated that way?

[ Does God get prostate exams? Or health benefits? ]

[strangelic]

Yes.

[ Calmly, like he's asking for sugar in his tea. ]

Nethertheless I'm not certain that kind of excitement would be appropriate.
