Angel with a shotgun- wait, he doesn't have one

[thursdaywings.livejournal.com]

Characters: Castiel and all of you.
Setting: See under the cut.
Format: Prose or brackactions, I'm okay with anything!~
Summary: Castiel explores the new floors, being socially awkward as usual.
Warnings: TBA.


Floor Thirteen: Cathedral

The house of his Father, or at least, that's what it seems to be. Castiel takes a quick look around, taking note of the murmurs he hears. It doesn't seem like angel communication, since he can't make out what the murmurs are, but they are soft enough to make him feel like he's connected to his brethren again. Taking a seat in one of the pews, he closes his eyes, head bowed and hands clasped together.

"Father..."

Floor Twelve: Space

It felt like the beginning of time again, when his Father created the heavens and the Host. Castiel looks up into the dark sky in awe and reverence for his Father's creations, seemingly at peace. He's still aware of his surroundings; he's merely taking the time to praise the Lord in his mind.

Floor Eleven: No Walls

Castiel grunts when he feels pressure on his wings, as if an external force is keeping them inside his vessel. Glancing around, he notices the lack of walls on this floor, which, he deduces, could be the reason to his clipped wings. Everything in this room is strange, and the angel decides not to linger too long, unless he bumps into someone on the stairs.

Floor 11

Romeo likes this floor, because it is as close as he can get to being on a rooftop. He smiled politely at the man who was climbing the stairs, "Hello sir," he chased after Piccolo who had went to say hello, to make sure the weasel didn't fall off the side of the tower.

"Hello, child," Castiel returned the greeting, watching him run after the animal. After the blackout fiasco, the angel figured it would be safer to watch over the other residents of the tower, lest there be more unnecessary deaths, and stopped to watch over the child.

Romeo frowned a moment but then smiled politely, "I'm not a child! I'm eleven sir!" He scooped up Piccolo and let the weasel sniff at the man's feet.

"You are a human of eleven years," he said rather matter-of-factly, glancing down at the animal by his shoes. "Thus you are still a prepubescent human being: a child."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"What does prepubescent mean?" He held Piccolo back with a smile, "I'm not really though sir, I'm old enough to work! Are you not a human?"

[thursdaywings.livejournal.com]

"It means before reaching puberty." Shaking his head, the angel continued standing where he was. "I am Castiel, an angel of the Lord. I am merely inhabiting a human vessel."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"What's puberty?" Romeo blinked again but his question was completely blown out of his head at the mans next words. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. "You're an angel! Really!"

[thursdaywings.livejournal.com]

"It is the period during which adolescents reach sexual maturity and become capable of reproduction," came the elaboration as Castiel simply stared at the boy. "Yes. I am an angel."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo blinked, he didn't understand that at all but Castiel, the angel, had said it like it was obvious so Romeo decided not to ask anymore in case he got angry and to ask miss Spain instead because she didn't mind when he didn't know things.

"A real angel? Do you like in heaven?"

[thursdaywings.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Like in heaven."

Well, the kid asked, and he answered. Nothing much to it.

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"Wow that's amazing!" Romeo grinned happily but then his grin slipped as he realised something. "But... if your here," his eyes widened and he whispered, "Did heaven get destroyed too?"

[thursdaywings.livejournal.com]

"No." Castiel shook his head. "Heaven is still intact. I am here to raise the Righteous Man from perdition."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo smiled in relief, he had been worried. But he blinked confusedly at the mans words, "What does that mean mister Castiel?"

[thursdaywings.livejournal.com]

"It means that the Apocalypse will be stop and Lucifer will not rise, because of the Righteous Man." How else would he explain it?

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo sighed, he knew so much more than a year ago when he went to live in Milano but he hardly understood anything that this angel said. Angels were very inteligent, they knew everything.

"What's the apocalypse mister Castiel, Lucifer's the devil right? Are you trying to stop him from hurting people?"

[thursdaywings.livejournal.com]

"The Apocalypse is the end of the world, brought by Lucifer's rising." He shouldn't be wasting time explaining things to the boy though; there was more investigating he should do.

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"The end of the world?" Romeo blinked and frowned, "But hasn't that already happened? The apocolypse and everyone is dead except us," his voice cracked a little at the end because he didn't want to believe it, but the longer they stayed here and the more people saw of their ruined worlds. It was hard for Romeo not to believe that they were the only people left behind.

[thursdaywings.livejournal.com]

"No. The world is not destroyed." Castiel stayed firm to his belief, heading towards the stairs again.

Romeo nodded once even if he didn't completely believe him. "I hope it's not too sir," he said with a small smile and looked back up to the dying universe around him.
