012 [Audio]

[ofthursday]

[Castiel is using audio rather than video simply because he doesn't want the questions about how bad he looks after the last curse, which thankfully wore off this morning. He has a great deal of sleeping to catch up on, but there are important things to address first, the main one being a little awkward.]

A few days ago I was afflicted with a curse, and I may have... Injured someone, or potentially more than one person. I'm not certain who or how badly due to the nature of the curse, but whoever might have been, or anyone, I apologize. I hope whatever damage done was not too great.

[He really hadn't meant to hurt anyone; he isn't even sure he did. Everything was so mixed up and still is, and he's quiet several seconds before continuing with the rest of what he was supposed to address.]

I am attempting to compile a detailed listing of powers and what is possible at each level of strength. Those who are willing to provide descriptions of your abilities and how they have changed as your power increased would be appreciated.

[There's something else he's supposed to mention, but he's not sure about doing it at the moment with everything else going on. That and he's not entirely sure it's possible to filter away from the gods, which would be useful, and he needs to look into that first.

So instead he just ends the feed there.]

[She is half-asleep, the product of exhaustion, in one of the spare rooms of the hospital. Her bracelet lights up, as it always does when a new message appears, and she blinks at it before shoving her arm underneath the pillow, to ignore it.

The pressure, though, activates the device, and she immediately bolts upward at the sound of his voice -- and when she turns on the video feed on her end, she looks pale and sleep-deprived, but distinctly hopeful, even if her uniform is rumpled.]

I'm coming home right now.

[It's the first thing that falls out of her mouth, even though she wanted to say something a lot more profound and sensible -- it's the first thought that lodges into her brain and she is immediately up and out the door.]

[Video--Private]

[ofthursday]

[He lets her see video, greyish-pale and disheveled with dark eyes from exhaustion, but he's definitely himself and despite his looks, his gaze is focused and sharp.]

It will be good to see you.

[She has to stop, startled by how he looks -- but Daphne wastes little time in commenting on it. Instead, she shuts off the video after a brief smile so she can focus on heading back to their home. And once there, it only takes Daphne a few minutes of wandering around the house before she finds him.

She hesitates, but only for a moment -- because it is him and he looks aware, albeit worn down and injured, and the woman immediately closes the distance between them to wrap her arms around him tightly in a hug, burying her face into his chest, completely intent on staying there for as long as possible.]

[occulthymns]

Are you okay?

[What's possible at each level, huh? She knows a few things that should probably be made known....]

... Um, I learned something interesting about energy transfer.

[Audio - filtered]

[ofthursday]

I'm alright.

[He sounds tired, but interested at her next comment.]

What is that?

[text]

[holmes_fanatic]

I'm willing, Castiel-san! Though I guess you know most of what I know about Body Control already.

Ne ... is it okay if I ask you a few questions about what happened? It's 'cause a couple of other friends of mine were made to act unlike themselves recently too and I want to check if these are related or not.

[text]

[ofthursday]

I know much about your current level, but not as much how it differs at the earlier ones. What you were capable of at the first strength, and the second, opposed to the full power.

It's alright. It's unlikely it is related, however. This was something from my world, it seems.

[Not literally, but a copy of the same effects.]

[samantha_grey]

You too? Christ, that's got to really piss an angel off to get stuck with that rap. If it's any consolation, we didn't run into each other while you were cursed.

I can help some with the other thing though.

[ofthursday]

I'm not pleased with it, no. That we did not encounter each other is good, however.

It is appreciated. I know much of the details of the third level of your power, but the lower ones I have little information about.

[audio]

[whatagoodgirl]

... Castiel? Are you okay?

[And yes, her voice is deeper and more mature than he might expect, unless he saw her previous video post.]

[audio]

[ofthursday]

[He didn't, and he's a little confused.]

I'm alright.

[Just a little shaken and exhausted, but he'll recover quickly now that the curse is over.]

Your voice is different.

[video]

[suppressthedark]

...God, you too? Seems that whatever puts these curses on us likes to do it to multiple people.

[HE'S THINKING IT'S THE GOD'S FAULT. BECAUSE THEY'RE DICKS.]

As for the power thing, there's not much I can really say about mine. I just got faster.

[Well tbh a normal person would probably be able to actually kind of control said speed, but since Ichigo goes faster back home it really wasn't something for him to worry about in the first place.]

[Permaaudio]

[ofthursday]

Others were cursed at the same time? I believe it is indeed done by the gods, yes.

Do you know what speed you could reach initially, and what you are capable of now?

[whitelighting]

What was the curse?

[ofthursday]

[He pauses a moment, deciding how to explain it, before choosing simply:]

Hallucinations.

audio

[onebite]

There are curses in this world, too?

audio

[ofthursday]

Yes. They can be inflicted at any time, and vary greatly in nature and severity.

[gymnast]

Are you okay? [ She wasn't hurt by him and can't think of anyone who might have been, so she figures she'll check up on the person she can. ]

audio;

[ofthursday]

I'm alright. I'll recover quickly.

[Physically anyway; he just needs minor healing and some food and rest and he'll be back to normal in a few days.]

( video )

[predators]

[ cursed? color him curious...not that he looks it. ]

Are the gods who rule this city behind the curse?

( audio )

[ofthursday]

As we understand, yes. They cause them for various reasons.

[argentum]

The next time you have an episode like that, you might want to consider getting someone to put you in lock down.

[ Chris' lips pursed. ]

If you hadn't knocked me out, I wouldn't have hesitated to put you down.

audio;

[ofthursday]

I thought it had abated.

[Sam had locked him up as soon as he'd found him once it was obvious it hadn't, but that he been too late.]

Are you still hurt?

[He doesn't address the last part of that, because he doesn't object. He would rather be killed than hurt others unnecessarily.]

audio;

[hushedpenance]

Are you... well? Feeling normal? [He'll get to the 'powers' part later.]

... Is she okay? ['She' being the little baby girl puppy of course...]

((ooc: I know I have to get back to some backtags 8( some family issues blew up early this week, but I wasn't sure if we'd be handwaving Cas getting the puppy, so if the puppy was no part of it then feel free to ignore the second half of Karu's question! so sorry for any trouble /o\ ))

audio;

[ofthursday]

The curse is over.

[He doesn't feel well in the slightest, but what he says it true, at least. And he gets what Karu is asking in the second part as well.]

She's fine. I always saw her as herself, but Sam and Daphne took her after awhile regardless.

[They hadn't wanted to take the risk, and neither had Castiel.]
