009 | Anna Milton | [video & private]

[afallenstar]

It seems everyone's had quite the morning, so I'll keep this brief. If any of you think you might be the kind of powered up that can help figure out exactly what it is people are turning into, let me know.

In the mean time just...be careful, guys.

[[ Private to the Angelsibs and honorarysib housemate Chuck ]]

As someone [ see Gabriel, re: griping announcement earlier ] has mentioned already, there's something weird going on here. We're human now, completely, and Balthazar....
[ All in good time. ]

Obviously it's a little harder to keep in touch now, but are you all okay so far? No broken bones, stubbed toes, fatal injuries? Keep in touch, okay?

[[ Private to Fun Ghoul ]]

We have a bit of a situation here.

Comments

[enchangement]

Nope. They turned down the radio when they altered her schematic.

Funny, the parts missing are still gone.

[ Only, yanno, not funny at all. ]

[afallenstar]

[ Now that's problematic, and it occurs to her that maybe that's what this is, neutering the more perceptive of the bunch. ]

What did happen to you? A human, or...?

[enchangement]

Or.

[ River pulls the video away from her face and holds her arm up against a tree. The tree seems to absorb it. ]

A tree and a girl.

[accidental private video]

[servingmichael]

I'm not human.

[Clearly as he looks about three, with a diaper and quiver - and the confetti and glitter everywhere.

And the fluffy wings.]

[private video 5eva]

[afallenstar]

[ She stares.

...And stares.

...And stares a little more, until finally- ]

Raphael?

[ And she really can't help it when she lets out a small, muffled snicker of laughter, trying to duck her head out of the feed to be slightly more subtle. ]

[private video 5eva] (to angel sibs filter so. meant to say)

[servingmichael]

It wasn't funny when Gabriel laughed Anna.

[He flicks his wings and a tiny cloud of glitter follows the movement.]

This keeps getting in my eyes.

Private

[villainized]

While I'm just flattered by the consideration, don't lump me in with the rest of you. I am not human.

Private forever and ever (shush I'm lazy)

[afallenstar]

You're not?

[ She jumps quickly on Lucifer's reply, and as much as it should feel a little unpleasant that he's not been demojoed like the rest of them, mostly she just feels relieved. ]

I think you might be the only one, we've all been hit by...whatever it is that's going on this time.

[villainized]

I hate them. Why would I ever want to be one of them?

[ He sighs, rolling his eyes like he's the most put-upon person in existence. Maybe he is. ]

Maybe if you just stopped associating with them, you wouldn't catch their diseases.

Video-private to angelsibs

[tryingitall]

Balthazar...is not human. More's the pity.

[afallenstar]

And is Balthazar going to let us in on what that is, exactly?

video, private

[venatical]

I could probably make you think you were an angel again. I think. Maybe. I'm not really sure how this works.

[ And he's maybe not super excited about using his powers to that extent. He doesn't even like thinking of them as his powers. ]

video, private

[afallenstar]

That is...the least helpful offer I've had all day, thank you.

[ Normally she'd be a little more patient, but it's hard trying to keep up with the latest thing the people keeping them here seem to have thrown their way. Even harder trying to do it all as a human.

Still, after rubbing a hand over her face, her attention goes back to Dean. ] What happened to you, then?

( audio )

[rigging]

[ He just has to tell someone: ] Anna, holy shit, I can smell everything. [ He can smell the rabbits in the woods, that's how awesome this is. ]

( audio )

[afallenstar]

Jesse? Are you alright? [ Her mind immediately jumps straight to awful, naturally. It's not like these things are ever fun. ] What's happened to you?

Private

[godsprophet]

I, uh... I'm not human either.

[But he still looks human, and he's still acting like himself, so that's good.

...right?]

Private

[afallenstar]

Yeah? That makes one of us. [ It's lighthearted, even comes delivered with a slight smile and everything, but the way she keeps eyeing her surroundings carefully probably makes it obvious that she's not all that amused. ]

I can't....I can't tell what any of them are. Balthazar, something's going on with him, something bad.

[PRIVATE] [audio]

[tooghoulforschool]

A situation? [It's a good thing he only has the audio on, else Anna might think it's strange time to be wearing a smile.] You don't say.

What's goin' on, babydoll?

[PRIVATE] [video]

[afallenstar]

[ She's clearly stressed out when the reply comes, enough so that it doesn't even occur to her that the audio response is a little suspicious. She's just relieved - he sounds alright, after all, so he must be right? ]

Betting you've realised there's some serious stuff going down this morning by now, huh? [ She rubs a hand over her face - she looks tired, which in itself is a major indicator that something isn't right with her. ] I'm, well. Human. I forgot how easily damaged you guys are.

[ And it's not her proudest moment, delivered hesitantly and through slightly gritted teeth, but it's not like she can do it herself any more. The wound on her arm isn't exactly going anywhere now. ]

...How are you at first aid?

[ Video - Private ]

[happytobleed]

Balthazar is dangerous. Stay away from him until we figure this out. Even if you were still an angel, he would be dangerous.

[ He sighs. ]

I'm not human, either, but I think I'm... less dangerous than he is by a good deal.

[ Video - Private ]

[afallenstar]

Might be a little late on that advice, but thanks anyway.

[ And she gives him the most grim, tightly wound smile she can manage as she lifts her arm enough into view of the video to show the crudely bandaged bite on her arm. ]

Me and Gabriel, we're human. One hundred per cent Graceless. I think the only one left is Lucifer, actually.

[ And doesn't that just make things extra interesting. She lets out a soft huff of air to match Castiel's, casting her eyes upwards for a moment before shaking her head. Things sure got stressful fast. ]

What do you mean less dangerous? What's happened to you?

( private video )

[retrograding]

[ Maybe it's simple, but that's okay. Jet's a pretty simple person. ] Are you alright, Anna?

[afallenstar]

[ The video shows the face of someone who is clearly anything but alright. She hasn't slept since the event first hit so she's naturally exhausted by now, not to mention the events of the morning coupled with the shock of the injury have left Anna a shadow of her normal self.

Not that she's going to admit to any of that, because goddamnit she is not fragile. ]

Just fine, Jet. There's just, a few problems back at the ranch. [ She smiles, and she's so, so tired but she can't sleep yet. There's too much to do, too many painfully stressful conversations to have, and on top of all that she has to try and make sure that Balthazar doesn't actually eat anyone. Somehow. Without him actually eating her. ]

[ video - private ]

[foundacause]

And what magical candyland unicorn powers did you get, Anna?

[ video - private ]

[afallenstar]

Not the power to get people back to the right forms, so it doesn't really matter.

[ It's been a really bad day, Meg. Be nice with poor old Anna, she's all breakable now. ]

Dropping in for a courtesy call, or do you happen to be one of the lucky ones who didn't get completely neutered?
