[Well guess who's back on the network again. No, he's not looking for playmates this time. Instead, it's time to make a very important announcement. It's a video feed; though it's clear he isn't really focused on setting the shot up right. That'll come later.]

There were demons here- A long time ago. They were...dangerous. They tried to hurt people and turn you against each other. But that doesn't mean-

[Okay, give him a second here.]

Not all demons are like that. Some of them are good, even though they're not designed to be. Back home, one of them was my friend. She- She took care of me when I was in hospital, even though she had no reason to. And now she's here and-

[The feed breaks in to static now for a moment, before then turning to a shot of a dark haired woman folding a few towels and trying to -- not look annoyed by the sudden episode of Real World that is being filmed in her quarters. Meg turns toward Cas, a definite furrow of her brow and a lift of her eyebrow as she watches him. This is not on her agenda for the day.

His voice is softer now as he speaks. yes, he's a little smitten by her. go figure.]

This is Meg, and though she may appear to be angry most of the time, she's- Special.

Say hello, Meg. [And don't mind that he's pushing the camera far too close now.]

[Okay. This is likely to give someone a definite feel for how it is to be around Castiel when he's decided personal space is just a cute word. Her hands move to push him, gently, away from her a bit.] C'mon, Clarence, let the thing at least come into focus if you're gonna insist on becoming a reality TV producer.

[She shakes her head at him, not actually feeling like addressing the camera, but she knows that it'd make Castiel happy.]

Yeah, hi. I'm Meg and maybe... [This ambush is not fun at all... if she thought he could handle it, she'd get revenge on him for this little stunt, but no - she won't risk that.] Maybe, you can come play board games with us.

[There's a definite expectant glance that comes to Meg's face as she glances up to meet Castiel's line of sight and stop staring at the device in his hands.] Happy?

[You may not be able to tell by the droop of the camera, but that'd be a yes to her question. His huge grin is a dead giveaway.]

Perfect. [He...may not be talking about the quality of just her reply though.]


ooc; ...do i really need to say who's who?

Well, we have Sorry!, Twister, and an UNO game. [She's not going to introduce this girl to Twister, but Sorry! or a card game could be fine.]

Sorry! is a board game, you roll a dice and move your piece around the board. UNO is a card game. They're both pretty easy to pick up on. [If Castiel can learn when he's sharing headspace with Lucifer -- anyone can.]

[littleduck]

[She feels a little terrible, what with the Hunger Games and all, to be talking so casually about games played with cards and dice and pieces. It feels almost wrong. Her mouth forms a tight line as she internally debates with herself whether or not she should keep talking.]

No one gets hurt playing them though, right?

[blasphemous]

No, they're just for bragging rights and to give Family Night something other than awkward silences and eternal judgment.

[rebelled]

[AND FROM OVER MEG'S SHOULDER]

They're fun. You should- Play one of them. You can take one to play with your sister if you'd prefer it though.

[littleduck]

But we can just play for fun. [Awkward silences and eternal judgment don't sound like very much fun, Meg. But hey, other guy. What did Meg say his name was?]

You're Clarence?

I don't think Katniss would like games very much.

[rebelled]

[LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE MEG]

No, that's- [an amused glance toward a certain demon] My name's Castiel, but Meg seems to prefer calling me that.

[but more importantly-]

I was given a few different ones, so you could try them all with her. She might find one she enjoys.

[blasphemous]

[SHE DID NOT MEAN TO...]

It's a nickname and the games are for fun. You could try playing Sorry! with your sister. It's a good starter game.

I DID NOT SEE THIS BEFORE OOPS

[littleduck]

We do both have a lot to be sorry about.

[That's a joke. Kind of.]

I'll see if she wants to try, and let you know.

[littleduck]

Castiel, then. I'm Primrose. It's good to meet both of you.

[She's smiling now.]

I'll see if Katniss will let me come by soon, so we can try one of the games. But -

[She hesitates, if only because she doesn't want to know the answer if it's bad. But she needs to ask.]

What exactly is a demon? I've heard of them mentioned in a few stories, but I've never actually met one before.

[rebelled]

Did you know that primroses are edible. [oh wait. hold on.] The flowers, that is. I didn't mean...you.

[D: look he just doesn't want to be the one left explaining what demons are okay]

[littleduck]

[That response takes her by surprise and she's left gaping.]

I did know that. But I think, technically, I might be too. [But she hopes that no one ever tries to eat her that would be terrible.]

I will just hop down here!

[blasphemous]

[Alright, let's cut the talk about eating people down... Considering the habits of Leviathan, it just seems like a smart plan.]

Demons, for the record, come in a lot of different varieties. Most of them aren't the nicest people, but I am. It's just like people where some of them are nice and some of them are mean.

I've been taking care of Castiel back home and now that I'm here, I'll probably to the same thing.

[rebelled]

[well he's definitely relieved that meg stepped in. especially considering prim's response. no more human-shaped meals please.

he'll just be...sitting here watching now.

and maybe playing around with the uno tiles. look, meg. he spelled out "monster"]

[blasphemous]

[Oh... Clarence, that's a bit disheartening. She's going to wander over there and move the tiles to spell MENTORS instead. :|

Then back to Prim.]

If you want, you can always learn how to play the game with us and then take it with if you think your sister would like it.

[littleduck]

So demons are just like most adults. [Some good, a lot of them are bad. Sometimes even the bad ones can help out when they care about someone.]

I think you teaching me is a good idea. Just let me know when it's okay to meet you somewhere.

[rebelled]

[excuse you meg. he'll just be dragging a few more letters over. he sees you MENTORS and raises you a BRIMSTONE.

and then slowly realises, hi. prim is still there. don't mind the smile that creeps on to his face now that she's agreed to play too.]

[blasphemous]

Anytime you want to, I guess. We're not going anywhere for a while.
