018 [Video] | Joint post

[ofthursday]

[Hello Asgard, there is a familiar--to some--face on the network, which hasn’t been seen in awhile. Castiel is back from being grey, and he’s never taking off his bracelet again.

Okay, he totally will, but not without good reason.

Being grey hadn’t been bad, really, as he didn’t remember much of it, but that itself isn’t pleasant, and so he’s a bit displeased with life. Not to mention he’s been gone for a few weeks, and he’s certain that a great deal has happened in his absence.]

It seems we have been gone for some time.

[At least his voice is back, though it’s quiet and serious as he speaks.]

I am certain we have missed something of import. Is everyone accounted for? What happened?

[Where are their friends; are they still here, or have they gone?

Both of which are good questions, save for the fact that when Daphne appears on the screen, it doesn’t look like she was a willing active participant in the making of this film. Her hair is slightly messy and she looks sleepy, dressed in an overlarge shirt that hangs off of her shoulders a little. She hears Castiel speaking more than notices the recording and promptly drapes herself over his shoulders, kissing his jaw lazily.]

You should come back to bed.

[It’s said in a rather informative, but sleepy tone, and she rests against his back with her arms still loosely curled around his neck.

Castiel frowns back at her, not because he dislikes the attention but because he is doing something important. Also because he doesn’t like being affectionate in public.]

Daphne, this is not the time.

You’re the one who turned on the camera, not me. Now let’s see…

[She reaches out with a hand to adjust Castiel’s bracelet, smiling peacefully at the recorder from her position on her husband’s shoulder.]

Hello, Asgard. As you can see, we’re back -- and if you need emergency healing, please go to the Sigyn hospital. If the hospital needs us, then we’ll be called. Sam, Dean, and Jo can come by to visit in an hour, along with Arthur and Morgana and the rest -- but until then, we’re unavailable.

[And Daphne presses her lips against Castiel’s neck before inching her fingers toward the bracelet.]

Satisfied?

[And the feed clicks off as soon as Daphne finds the button on her husband’s bracelet.]

Comments

[marrying]

[Once she finds the button, Daphne buries her face into his back with a laugh, her cheeks flushed pink. It takes an odd amount of courage to be so open and brave on the network and she thinks she's filled her quota for the year, but it feels nice, in a way.

She's really just thrilled that she's back in Asgard -- and not only is she back in Asgard, but Castiel is with her.

She couldn't have more of a reason to be happy than that.]

Don't be mad at me.

[Once she's done laughing into his pajamas, her voice muffled as she circles her arms a little tighter in a hug.]

[ofthursday]

[Castiel is not all that pleased with the affection on the network, but he lets it go for the moment. He's certainly not going to be actually angry with her, though he doesn't know what she's laughing about.]

I'm not, but this isn't humorous.

[marrying]

I'm laughing at our good luck.

[She squeezes him gently before resting her chin on his shoulder, still content.]

There's nothing else that could make me happier than coming back to this place with you.

[foodshortage]

[ Well.

That public display of affection aside. ]

I was not in the city at the time, but Thiazi attacked.

[Video]

[marrying]

[live dangerously uther

and after aforementioned hour, Daphne has her own bracelet working and operational, though she's still in bed. Being grey for so long causes an unpleasant whiplash when you come back to reality.]

Is everyone alright?

[Video]

[foodshortage]

[ Let's not think about that hour. ]

Most are... coping, from what I can see.

[Video]

[ofthursday]

Do you know what she did?

[Video]

[foodshortage]

We were told she took over the minds of a few chosen ones and had them... kill people.

video.

[mulletrock]

[Okay. He's glad Cas is getting some action but that doesn't mean he wants to see it. It takes a few seconds to get over the awkwardness of witnessing it.]

Next time keep the PDA off the network and in the bedroom.

[That's as close as he'll come to praising Cas for finding someone. You have to learn to read between the lines with him.]

Sam's still gone. Starting to think he got sent back...

[He sighs, brings his palm up to his forehead and rubs.]

As for what happened, Thiazi poisoned a few people and everything turned into mass hysteria. No one was sleeping, everyone was on edge, a few people bit it.

[There's a pause, some reluctance before he switches the feed to private.]

[Private]

What can you do healing wise?

video. same filter. daphne>cas>dean.

[marrying]

We are in our bedroom.

[It's said simply as Daphne just utilizes Castiel's bracelet, frowning at the news of Sam, gently tightening her hug around Castiel's shoulders.]

I can heal anything. Castiel's powers are different than mine.

video. same filter.

[ofthursday]

[Castiel is not as at peace with the situation as Daphne is, nor is he all that fond of affection on the network; he's a closed off person, after all. However, it doesn't bother him enough to mention it.

And he's glad to see Dean's still here, even if he's worried about Sam.]

Hello, Dean.

I can absorb anything that is actual damage, though I cannot resolve illness. I can also drain blood loss, which the healing power cannot do.

What happened with Thiazi?

video; private;

[swedge]

[ well hello you two. jo actually laughs a little when she sees the video. that's one way to come back from being grey, for sure. ]

Y'all kind of missed the entire city going batshit, but what else is new?

[ guess who hasn't slept in weeks just guess. ]

It's good to see you back, though.

video; private;

[marrying]

[jo no :(]

It's pretty par for the course.

[With a slight smile, drawing up her legs against her chest.]

Are you okay?

video; private;

[swedge]

Something about Thiazi poisoning everyone. Making them go serial-killer insane. There were a lot of natives murdered, though.

[ meaning they don't just come back alive. something that jo honestly feels a little bad about. the guilt that comes with holing herself up for the time being.

jo shrugs a little, running her hand behind her neck. ]

I'm alive, and I haven't...killed anyone. That I know of. [ an important distinction to make. ] So I guess okay.

[ofthursday]

[IGNORING THAT LAUGH Castiel is not on board with public affection even though he won't ever scold his wife for such. He's a little whipped.]

That does seem a regular occurrence.

[A pause.]

You look tired.

video;

[tradingsecrets]

Well I was wondering what had happened to you.

[He raises his eyebrows and smiles with a small wave to Daphne and Cas both before leaning back.]

Most of us are trying to piece together what happened while we were gone as well. Some of us went to Vanaheim and then came back to chaos.

video;

[marrying]

It looks like we both lost our bracelets.

[Oops.]

video;

[ofthursday]

It seems much like usual, then.

[At least Asgard is predictable.]

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

[Though he looks a little tired still, Merlin seems to brighten up at the sweet display.]

You were missed, both of you. But it's probably a good thing you weren't around to see the mess.

[He's glad you weren't dragged into Thiazi's games, even if Dean was sulking within you.]

[Video]

[marrying]

So I've been hearing.

[With a quiet frown after that hour reprieve, still wrapped in her blankets in bed.]

Are you alright, Merlin?

[Video]

[ofthursday]

Hello Merlin.

[Castiel doesn't quite agree with the sentiment about it being good to not be around.]

Perhaps we could have been a help, had we been present.

[pratentious]

[ While everyone else is busy filling them in on the latest blight upon the city, someone has to take up the obvious bait there, okay.

I volunteer Arthur as tribute. ]

An hour.

[ Deadpan. Just. You know. Curiously specific measure of time. ]

[marrying]

You can do a lot in an hour.

[o:]

/jumps in

[dragonspeak]

Arthur! [Don't mind him sounding horrified as he hisses at Arthur over the bracelet.]

Don't ask her on the bracelet!

[ofthursday]

Daphne thinks we should rest before figuring out what has happened, and what to do.

[He's not on board, and totally ignoring the ways that comment about an hour could be taken.]
