[returning to text for this -- trolls seem to prefer it anyway, and he can't be sure about the other one just yet.]

I intend on participating in the coming mission, alone if I must. Before that, however, there are some people I would like to have a word with.

A man named Castiel, and a troll named Karkat Vantas. I would appreciate it if those two would please contact me.

Thank you.

It was similar in the past, but humans drifted away from their God and He from them. Now, the Angels see no reason to pity them when they believe the Lilin are simply usurpers.

[rebellious]

He has not turned His back yet. [ adamant; a strong belief, for him. how little he truly knows of Deadbeat Dads ]

[diedforyoursins]

Something to be grateful for. [bro y'all know nothing of Deadbeat Dads until you've met gendo ikari.]

Do you enjoy living as a human?

[rebellious]

[ god helpthem all the day he ever does. ]

... Yes. I do.

[diedforyoursins]

[let's hope he never comes here, god knows what he'd do without a giant robot/dead wife to obsess over.]

What do you like most?

[rebellious]

[ it would be horrible ]

The concept of "family".

[diedforyoursins]

[ok he has decided that he likes you.]

I am glad that you are happy.

[rebellious]

You have my thanks.

Why are you so gladdened by this?

[ this is not what any angel he knows would say. in fact, it is virtually the opposite. what u doin bro ]

[diedforyoursins]

[well, the conversation is already private and there's no point in trying to pretend it's still a secret...]

Because in a way, you are my sibling. I have never had a family in the human sense, but I think it is only natural to feel like this.

[and he's pretty relieved that angels are good guys where you're from, so. good feelings all around.]

[rebellious]

[ it's all in the eye of the beholder; most of castiel's brothers are a great bunch of jerks. ]

We are all siblings in our way, as His creations. It's only natural. Those closest to His throne feel that connection more deeply than humanity would.

[diedforyoursins]

[and most of kaworu's were eldritch horrors. that doesn't mean they don't love them.]

But you know what I mean.

wow DW what are you doing to my HTML

[rebellious]

[ too true. too terribly true. ]

I do. You desire a... kinship.

i saw nothing o7

[diedforyoursins]

If you would like to put it like that.

[rebellious]

[ it would be a good way to keep an eye on a factor otherwise unaccounted for. ]

... Very well. I see no real reason not to.

[diedforyoursins]

You sound so enthusiastic. [is it too much to hope that you understand sarcasm or...] Thank you.

[rebellious]

I am glad to have assisted in this matter. [ sarcasm isn't yet in his vocabulary. what u talkin about bro ]

[diedforyoursins]

[wow you are literally rei. good to know there's an adult male version of his sister/wife here.]

Do you go by the name Castiel normally? Or should I call you something else?

[rebellious]

It is the only name I possess; it will more than suffice.

[ none of these strange nicknames the mortals are so fond of. ]

[diedforyoursins]

[he just nods for a moment before remembering that the conversation is audio-only.]

Alright. I do not go by Tabris, so it seemed polite to ask.

[rebellious]

Those who have adopted mortal names are few and far between. I know of only one, personally. What has prompted your choice in taking yours, Kaworu Nagisa?

[diedforyoursins]

I could hardly have passed as one of the Lilin if I did not have a suitable name.

[rebellious]

I see. [ logical, and he can almost, almost see why. there's something to be said about humanity and its ways. ]

A voice and a name are often enough to work off of, but I would know your face if we should meet in person.

[diedforyoursins]

I see.

[and after only a brief second he switches to video, all pale skin and hair and red eyes for a moment before he pulls the mirror back to a more suitable distance.]

There. Will you do the same?

[rebellious]

[ it takes a little longer for Castiel to do the same, time taken to figure out how to work the mirror once more. when the video function does kick in, though, it's a little off-kilter, the image a little unfocused, as if he still isn't entirely certain how to manage the thing. but it's all there, dark hair, blue eyes, an expression seemingly fixed into one of permanent disapproval. ]

I thank you. It is good to meet you, Kaworu Nagisa. [ may you give him less trouble than his other brothers and hopefully less pain ]

[diedforyoursins]

[he's the slightest bit disappointed, having sort of expecting someone who looked more like himself or rei, but given all the other differences it was probably too much to expect to angel genetics to work the same way in this other world.

you sort of make him think of an older shinji though, so it's alright.]

How long have you had that form?
