asgardeventide | Romans 12:10 }{ VIDEO

[The scene opens to a rather ridiculous sight, as either Castiel or Jimmy--it’s hard to tell which, as they’re both in the frame--is pondering a somewhat beat up but still functional looking bike. That’s nothing particularly noteworthy, though; what stands out most is that said individual is wearing very improvised knee and elbow pads, made of what looks a combo of small pillows and duct tape.]

I don’t understand why this is a necessary skill.

[The voice gives it away; the perplexed and safeguarded speaker is Castiel, eyeing the bike with some level of suspicion as he directs his comment at his doppelganger.]

Because! [A girl’s voice rings from somewhere off-screen.] You’re finally old enough for a paper route!

[Jimmy busts up at the comment from off screen but calms himself in order to focus on the situation at hand.] Dammit Mary... [He checks the bike and its riggings to make sure it’s good to go. Once he gets in control of himself again he goes back to reassuring Castiel.]

Think of it as a right of passage. You’re protected, thanks to Claire. [He tries to hide his laughter and fails miserably, looking more like a kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar than anything else.]

I’m not afraid of injury.

[A bicycle isn’t scary... Really. But this just seems like a bad idea all around. Still, Castiel determinedly grasps the handlebars and then awkwardly tries to swing a leg over it, and manages to topple right over, bike and all.]

[Whatever the hell happens next is punctured by a-] Oh god, is he- [That dissolves almost immediately into unseen giggles throughout the rest of the scene.]]

[A tinier voice in the background makes a startled noise somewhere near the laughter that’s off camera.] Are you okay, Castiel?

[Jimmy reaches down to help Cas and the bike back up and grips the handlebars to help him find his balance.] He’s fine, sweetie. [Jimmy answers for him so they can get this show on the road.]

[Castiel glances back to give Claire a nod, unharmed aside from a few small scratches he dutifully ignores, intent on figuring this out. Jimmy holding the handlebars helps and he manages to actually get on the bike correctly, a foot on the ground for balance, the other resting awkwardly on the pedals. There’s a pause.]

What do I do now?

Just pedal, I’ll guide you. [A common lie every parent tells their child, but Jimmy grips the rubber on the bars tighter to reassure Cas. He still has every intention of letting go once he picks up speed.]

[Castiel gives Jimmy a clear ‘I don’t trust you’ look, but he does what he’s told anyway, beginning to pedal slowly, trying to figure out how he’s supposed to keep his balance and do at the same time.]

[Jimmy helps him along for a few feet until Cas starts getting the hang of it and picks up speed, he runs alongside him until it looks like he’s figured it out for the most part and then lets go.]

[Castiel manages great, if a bit wobbly, for approximately ten seconds, until he’s out of frame. A moment later there’s a massive crashing noise and what sounds like glass shattering.]

[Claire gasps and runs out of frame after her father who’s reassuring her that it’s okay and to remember her first time on a bike. Jimmy cuts the feed purposefully so he can help Cas back to his feet and pat his back for trying.]

Is it just a coincidence like the rest of them, then?

No. Jimmy and I are from the same world, and we look alike for a specific reason.

....... Is that reason private?

[He has to consider that a moment, and he locks the feed to reply.]

Angels must take a human host to interact safely with other humans. Jimmy was a compatible match for me, and he agreed to allow me to use him as a vessel.

This body is my own as of now, as I'm mortal here, but that is why we're identical.

[Oh.

Ohhhhh she's audibly very unnerved.]

... So Lucifer was really serious about that?

Serious about what?

Having to use a... host.

[Gross gross gross this is the worst subject ever.]

Yes. An angel's true form can be dangerous or even deadly to a human otherwise. But we cannot take a vessel without their permission.

[She doesn't sound all that reassured, unfortunately.]

I guess needing permission's a small step up from the Growers back home, but it's still creepy.

I have been told as much, yes.

[That it's creepy. But it's better than burning someone's eyes out whenever they look at him.]

Hmm....

So what's that metal contraption supposed to be?

They used to be Siamese twins.

Sigh-whatsit? What's that mean??

You know, conjoined twins? Twins who are born attached to each other.

What? Eugh, who would want kids like that? [Sounds pretty messed up to her.]

Edited 2012-03-28 05:12 (UTC)

Well, you don't have a choice! It just happens.

Jimmy and Cas were born charing a head. It was really gross.

[SHE'S TRYING TO PICTURE THIS AND FAILING MISERABLY.]

Were they sharing eyes, too? What about their mouths? How come they're still not sharing a head now??

Mary! Knock it off.

We're not twins.

It's actually a long story what we really are, but we definitely weren't sharing a head.

Then why do you two look the exact same?? [At least Mary gave her an explanation]

He's an angel and I let him use my body.

[Jimmy looks annoyed by having to explain it again, Mary's part not really helping his patience.]

[Oh.

Lucifer told her that, but she was hoping that wasn't completely right because things in her world give that all kinds of bad connotations.]

Really...? [She's suddenly sounding a lot less snappy and a lot more repulsed.] You honestly let him?

Ignore him- he's really embarrassed about it. Sensitive.

The doctors had to saw them apart. They both still have lumps on the sides of their heads from where they were fused.

Really?? I'll have to make Castiel show me next time I see him.

That might not be the best idea. Cas- he's sensitive about it, too.

And the lumps have gotten a lot smoother and less obvious as they got older.

That's why Jimmy's hair is so long- to hide it.

... Oh. [She's a little disappointed, but that's not something she'd push.]

That's too bad. How do Siamese twins even survive, though?? Wouldn't that kill them?
