Raphael | 002 | Video | Day 71

[servingmichael]

[ Raphael's post comes at near nine pm. He's sitting, not that the small camera gives much of that, but he's on the walkway at the top of the lighthouse. ]

My brother Lucifer is missing. If you think you are the last one who spoke with him, speak up.

[ His voice is cold and commanding. ]

Anna Milton is also missing, although that alarm has already been raised. That's two from my world. So those from it, pipe up. Dean I assume you are still hiding in your little attic, but if I need to come over to confirm it, I will.

[ The rest is locked to all the angelsibs. ]

Castiel, I would imagine you want to keep to your household, with Meg and Dean.

[ Why he didn't know. ]

But keep an ear open. I will come looking for you if I don't hear from you. The rest of you - House 11 is Gabriel's. I expect everyone there.

Why not?

[ He says abruptly, heat of the moment, pauses and rubs a hand into one of his eyes. ]

Guy was my friend. [ Like he needs another reason. He sits up a little, gestures irritably at the camera. ] And he was a hell of a lot nicer than his brother here, so why wouldn't I care?

He'd destroy your entire species in a heartbeat, if he could get away with it.

[It's said with a tinge of something that's not entirely identifiable. Nostalgia, perhaps, in a weird way, or maybe regret.]

If he cares about you one way or another, I'd be surprised. Still. It's nice that he's made a friend.

[Now that is pretty clearly condescension. No ambiguity there.]

[magnets]

Yeah. So everyone keeps tellin' me.

[ But Lucifer never hurt him, not personally, and the whole idea that he was Satan - actually Satan, the guy from the stories, harbinger and all that jazz - still hasn't really sunk in yet. To Jesse, he was just a guy, the guy with some real problems he hadn't really gotten to sorting out yet. ]

What's it matter anyway? He's gone, ain't he?

Not gone gone. He'll be back. Like Schwarzenegger, or genital herpes.

[What he'd said about people not coming back doesn't apply to his family, after all. They have to come back.]

[ He's catching onto your booshit, Gabe!! ]

So, what, he's a sure thing, but me, whoa, better not test it?

[hung_garian]

How long have you been immortal?

[magnets]

[ A pause, confused. ]

Uh, since never? I'm just a dude, yo.

Re: video

Then why assume you stand as good a chance of not dying as someone who is?

video

[magnets]

Cuz I'd rather? Otherwise, what's the point? We're all gonna die here anyway.

Re: video

[hung_garian]

And you sooner than others, if you keep up your habit of pissing in the archangel's cornflakes.

Re: video

[magnets]

Man-

I was just- tryin' to help. Like, fuckin' excuse me.

Re: video

[hung_garian]

You're excused far as I'm concerned. Raphael's the one you should be saying that to.

Re: video

[magnets]

It's like tryin' to talk down a brick wall. What's the point?

Re: video

[hung_garian]

The point in this case is you not dying. As points go, it's frankly of negligible importance, but it seems like if anyone were to care about it, it'd be you.

Re: video

[magnets]

[ His response is after a pause, and it's with a bit of leaning forward, rife with sarcasm. ] Suppose I oughta.

Look, man, appreciate the whole guardian angel thing and all, but what's gonna happen's gonna happen. We're all fucked here anyway.

Fatalist, I like it.
