[the first few minutes are spent cycling through the functions of his network device. there's a shot of his feet. now a few keysmashes. oh, it's the sounds of bees buzzing in the background. and another keysmash. and then-

hi, here's a shot of castiel. you may remember him from that time when demons appeared on the ship. or that time when soul-fisting happened. you may notice that this time, he's wearing a pair of white hospital scrubs under that trenchcoat instead of a suit. you may also notice that there's a huge smile on his face as he finally decides it's time to address the network as a whole.

good luck.]

This ship- Sometimes bad things happen here, but for some, this ship is a better place to be than our former homes. You get the opportunity here to meet others that you'd never meet otherwise. People from the past, or the future, or- Well, anywhere.

Did you know that there are people here- People who aren't human. There are people who'd be considered monsters back in the world I come from. But here, they're nice. Just because they're not human, it doesn't mean-

Well, some of them are better than some of the angels I've known before. I shouldn't-

[just a shake of his head, and he turns his attention to the box he's set out on the table in front of him. a moment to pick it up and he holds up a copy of the boardgame Sorry!]

Would anybody like to play? I never got to finish my last game.

[he turns the box then to take a closer look, a frown appearing after a moment.]

...it says two to four players though. But I suppose we could play in teams if there's more than four of us. Sometimes- Sometimes it's better to work with others. It makes it...easier.

[ The angel's back and Crowley isn't. It makes her want to scream. It's nothing against Castiel, but she never met him, never cared. She's still loyal to a long-gone demon and it's a sad state of affairs.

Of course, she's also still in medical, still bored, and he has a board game. ]

Would you consider coming down to medical and playing? They won't let me leave.

[ Her voice is still raspy, but she's in better shape than she was after the jump. She'll slip out soon. ]

[medical? won't let her leave? his angel-senses are tingling, and it leaves him staring down at the feed.]

You're hurt?

[tumbleweeds]

[ Oh wow he really is an angel. ]

I sat out as an insect during the jump -- shapeshifter, hi -- and my throat was all fucked up afterward because it lasted a month. Plus I'm having some issues remembering how to walk on two legs instead of six. Also I puked but only the one time.

So... not really?

[ HEY YOU SEEM SAFE AND NOT CHECKED OUT AT ALL!!! This obviously means Mike should bother you. Have a new face on the screen. ]

You have board games?

[rebelled]

[hi there, stranger. have a wide smile because you've brought up his favorite topic of the moment.]

I have three.

[and look. there's a shot of the other two. have some twister and uno tiles.]

[toasterprophet]

You've known angels? [Leoben arrived right after Castiel left, so this is new information to him. But he's intrigued.]

I don't think I've ever seen that game before, but I'm pretty good at picking up new rules.

[rebelled]

Uh- Yes? I haven't met all of them though. Some of my brothers- They don't like me very much right now. [not that he blames them. but oh well.]

All you have to do is turn a card and do whatever it tells you to do. I'll even let you pick which color pieces you want to play with first.

You wouldn't happen to have a pack of cards somewhere there, would you?

[He was originally going to ask about 3D chess but maybe some other time. Board games are good but cards are even better. More flexibility in game choices.]

permavideo;

[rebelled]

[pack of cards? but it's so much easier to stick to games with dice rolls, spinners, and set rules.]

The game comes with cards, if you want to play with those.

[ He's just casually listening to the guy ramble until he starts talking about people not being human and considered monsters, then he tenses. Of course, he does his best not to sound tense when he replies. ]

What kinda game is it?

permavideo;

[rebelled]

It's, uh- You have to get all your pieces to the end before the other player does, but the cards tell you what to do.

[which may be his favorite thing about the game.]

... People can be bad, too. Really mean and bad. But the people who are... um, who look like monsters--they can be really strong, so I gotta be extra careful. Monsters at home weren't nice to me.

[If that makes sense. The kid's trying to make sense.

SUBJECT CHANGE.]

Games? I dunno' what that one is...

[rebelled]

As long as you know how to tell the good people from the bad ones, then it shouldn't matter whether they're human or not.

[but you're also so small. you're not meant to have to worry about things like that.]

You should come and play with me. [yep. that's exactly what you should be doing right now. join the strange man who keeps staring at the image of you.] I can show you how.

[logicals]

Games are useless. Why? What is there to gain?

[texts. people keep using them here and he's definitely not a fan. which is why sherlock is stuck dealing with a video in response, regardless.]

Um, well- They're fun. Haven't you ever played a game before?

[text]

[yardbird]

What kind of monster could be considered better than angels?

[You'd be surprised, Murphy... you'd be surprised.]

permavideo;

[rebelled]

That...depends on the angel. Some of us are- Are dicks.

[yes, you have dean to thank for him using that descriptor.]

My friend Meg fought on our side when angels wouldn't. She's better than them.

[majestyofthethrone]

Did you find enough players?

[rebelled]

I'm not sure. Everybody seems to want to play a different game, but I've only got three and I can't make more.

[huff. and no one seems to want to play with each other. it's confusing.]

Nobody wants to play this one though. [a shot of uno wild tiles] Will you play it with me?

permavid & text.

[culver]

[something something angel wings this will probably end well]

Game?

[rebelled]

[well hello there. have a curious look as he tries to get a closer look at her...wings?]

Um, yes. I have a few, and I'm trying to find people to come and play them with me. Would you like to?

[ It's clear enough that Castiel remembers his time here, but Mason's not going to get his hopes up that the angel's going to stay. Considering how he disappeared and then how Anna showed up and disappeared even faster, thinking that he's going to stay will just get Mason in trouble. Even if he is strangely glad to see him. ]

You feeling okay, Cas? [ If the rambling and the smile wasn't enough, what he's wearing beneath that trench coat is worrisome. ]

video>action?

[rebelled]

[don't mind just how happy he is to see you right now, mason. he was kind of worried that he'd been sent back home too. he hasn't done a more thorough search of the ship since waking up, so he has no idea who's still left and who's gone home. nothing beyond those few he's spoken to already.

he may've been a little too distracted to do that check.]

You're still here. Well, obviously you are. But you- I should've-

[he'll just be...turning up to say hello now. enjoy?]

( permavideo )

[starked]

Didn't know you played board games.

[ internally peering forever at this because what castiel. ]

[rebelled]

They had them at the hospital, and Meg said that patients were meant to play with them, so I- They're enjoyable.
