A wry smile tugs at his lips. There’s an irony to it: he’s never felt normal, himself. A person, though? Yes, he thinks she’s helped him feel the same, in that. People, actively, made him not a person for years, after they took him from Akuze. For his rescue to be brought on by someone who had gone through the same initial mission gone wrong, both of them having assumed the other dead... and, now, to have been a part of her team through the Collectors, the Omega 4 Relay, and, here, in the height of the war...

The galaxy is going to hell, but he does feel like a person.

❝ You’ve done no less for me, ❞    he says. She’s come so far, since being that 23-year-old on Akuze. He touches her arm, eyes softening. ❝ I know everything is messed up, out there, but... I’m glad you’re the one leading us. It can’t be easy... but I have hope in our chances, because it’s you, at the frontlines. You’ve accomplished incredible things, Kat. I have absolute faith in you. ❞

Which planet?  Castiel stares, though this is not different from a moment ago. His expression doesn’t change, but he tilts his head to the side an inch, slowly. At least she speaks English? But what kind of a...

❝ We’re on Earth, ❞    he replies, cautiously, as he narrows his eyes. He had been reminded of an astronaut’s suit. But this person talks about location as if it was everyday for humans to visit different planets. He’s pretty sure he’d know if that were the case.

Life out there? Beyond what he knows to be true? It’s not an impossible thought; he’s long since quit trusting his siblings or his father when it comes to what is and isn’t possible. But she has a human soul, and humans surely don’t exist outside of Earth?

❝ Lebanon, Kansas, ❞    Cas clarifies. Pauses, before adding,    ❝ The United States of America. ❞

Maybe she’s just confused. Maybe she’s unwell. Or, maybe something happened to her, something that could be... his job to figure out. He’s currently alone, at the bunker (out to do some shopping; he likes to keep a fully stocked kitchen for Sam and Dean), as having quick access to all the lore they are storing can come in handy, in case the brothers need something and call.

He should help. Take her with him. It doesn’t really seem like she has anywhere else to go, anyway, and he’d like to at least find out if there’s something suspicious about her state. Still gazing at her, he offers,    ❝ Do you need help? A place to stay at, food, water, a cell phone to call someone...? ❞    His expression has softened into a concerned frown.

The man is... odd, she can't help but think as they stare at each other, a wry smile tugging at her lips even as she realises part of their current issue. It's easy to forget, while living in space, that not everyone has universal translators when it comes to the Earth or her colonies. Not that she agrees, given many of those who refuse to use the technology are doing so out of pure xenophobic bias, but she knows that's not always the case. She just hopes it's not the case with this particular stranger.

"Sorry about that. I wasn't sure which planet we're on, or where even on that planet, and I forget not everyone has universal translators. Galactic Standard is usually the safest bet to start with on most worlds. Guess it's not as popular here, though..." Maybe a remote colony? But which one?

Glancing back down at the still dead hardware from her suit in her hands, she sighs wearily as she realises she's going to need an external power supply to even hope to be able to revive it, and sets it aside before standing, offering, "Thank you, for the coat. I'm Isabela Shepard, Special Tactics and Reconnaissance."

There’s something  off about her,  though Cas doesn’t think it’s her, responsible for all these bodies. He doesn’t have time for a confrontation with an outsider. He could just let her shoot him; unless she has bullets made of melted down angel blades or such, he’d shrug the shot off easy enough. But something about her... a human soul, but strange, somehow. That, and if she’s an innocent in this, he doesn’t want her to get killed because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He’d rather convince her to trust him.

❝ I didn’t do this, ❞    he says, slowly putting his blade on the ground, eyes on her as he crouches and straightens up again.    ❝ I’m after whoever did. There’s a trail of dead bodies and I intend to put a stop to it. ❞

THERE WERE FEW THINGS IN THE WORLD that put her on edge. most of the list consisted of people she'd rather keep at least five mile distance from and hoped they never had to cross paths for the wrong reasons. the guy in the trench coat had quickly become one of those people. the bodies on the ground put aside, she felt like she was going to choke on the amount of power that radiated off the man.

" nope, stay over there, " she said with clenched teeth. death hummed under her skin, shaking its metaphysical cage to reach him. over her ( hopefully ) dead body. she held her gun up still, though she was sure they both knew it was for show at this point. " put the weapon down and start talking. "

He hesitates whether to offer any explanation as to why he doesn’t want to be called Castiel, long enough she’s moving the conversation along before he can make up his mind. It’s hard to know  how he’s supposed to feel about her.  Yes, he wants her to leave him alone, but... he’s curious by nature, of other people. He’s always felt like an observer rather than a participant, with fellow humans as much as with other species, different somehow, foreign, an alien among everyone. That feeling has made him interested in figuring people out. Maybe that is why he’s continuing to engage, rather than trying to wrap up the conversation and walk away.

❝ Cas is more my first name than Castiel ever was, ❞    he chooses to say, finally breaking eye-contact. Only his parents ever actively call him Castiel... and he either panics, or goes cold, every time he sees one of their names in his comms. After all this time.    ❝ In any case, Cas isn’t a nickname. ❞    Yes, he could just change his name officially. But his parents would never leave him alone about it, if they found out; they had named him and his siblings after angels and/or biblical figures for a reason. Anna and Gabriel, though, are much less obscure. Cas has had to answer questions about his name since he was a child.

He’s not going to say whether he’s all right with her calling her that, or not. It’s a little familiar, but no more so than most people consider their first names to be. In the Alliance military, it’s mostly always been Krushnic, or just his rank. He corrects everyone who says Castiel. Here, though, most of the people he hangs out with call him Cas; he believes Joker did so first, making up the supposed nickname before even knowing it was preferred to Cas all along.

Miranda gets points for how she handles his name, but that doesn’t mean Cas has to warm up to her. He looks at her, again.    ❝ Do you even know what they did to me? ❞    he challenges, a harsh edge to his voice, again.    ❝ Taking things too far? Is that what you call torturing someone for several years for? Is that what you call this? ❞    He brushes at his hair at a spot near his temple to both direct her attention and make the scar better visible, at one of the points he knows by heart, not needing to look for the little, circular scar, one of many around his head where they had drilled into his skull and directly fucked with his brain. With him awake, screaming.    ❝ How can you justify an organisation associated with something like that? Rogue cells? Seems to me they’re more the rule than the exception. ❞    Not just him and Toombs, not just Akuze, but every fucked up Cerberus experiment Shepard had had to stop, two years ago.

@serabellyms

Miranda could tell that Castiel was chafing a little under her authority. Regardless, she had to maintain that authority; she wasn’t about to let him push her around just because he didn’t like her. She was loyal and dedicated to Shepard so long as Shepard retained her dedication to their goal: saving human colonies. There were certainly aspects of Cerberus’ history that Miranda didn’t agree with, but they were not operations that she had any involvement in. Some things had certainly gone south… and while she’d yet to speak of it, Akuze was one of them.

But what intrigued her most was the way he responded to the name; she’d used his first name to be polite, but informal. After all, Cerberus wasn’t much for formalities, and she suspected calling him Cas wouldn’t sit well. But the way he asked was what caught her guard; he wasn’t upset, but he was polite about it. Interesting. There must be a reason, yet he understands I mean no malice by it. Her only response is a nod; she’ll do her best to remember it, at the very least.

“I’m sorry. I meant it to be… informal. Friendlier, I guess. Cerberus isn’t particularly keen on ranks; I figured calling you Cas would be too friendly.” Her tone was genuine for once; she’d meant nothing by her choice, only that she wanted to be friendly. After all, she wouldn’t let just anyone call her Miri, but she wouldn’t chafe if someone called her Miranda.

“Frankly, I’d be more worried if you were loyal to Cerberus.” It was an honest statement; she’d expect him to be wary, at the very least. “I won’t pretend that Cerberus doesn’t have a coloured history; I’m well aware of it. Some of it I understand; some of it I believe were certain cells taking things too far. Some I believe our intentions were… misinterpreted. And, well, it’s not like we’d have allowed you part of this mission without being made aware of ” She wouldn’t specify which; her opinions on those were none of Castiel’s business.

An Extremely Self-Indulgent Meme    /    ACCEPTING ↷

Castiel is so used to  being the observer,  that it takes him a moment to realise Dean is gazing back at him.

He takes a slow step back, remembering personal space, not quite sure how much of that he should be giving to make Dean comfortable. But he keeps his eyes on the human, piercing. Unsure of himself, on the inside, but on the outside perfectly unfazed.

He’s... Before all this. Before the Winchesters. Before getting Dean out of Hell. Cas used to be posted on Earth,  watching.  Before everything in Heaven became gradually more and more chaotic  ⸺  before God had left, he guesses. Some of his own memories are spotty; things missing, other things being blurry and tied together even when they were millenia apart... But he remembers centuries of just... human watching. Invisible, without a vessel, around the globe, watching. Occassionally reporting back, mostly just watching, in solitude... though it never felt like he was alone, so fascinated by humanity.

His siblings are wrong, he thinks. Claiming it was Dean who turned him  rebellious,  who made him  fall in love with humanity.  He’s always had questions and doubts; he’s always loved humans. It’s just that Dean was the first who got him to act on those thoughts. Perhaps they’re correct, then, in the end, his siblings.

Castiel gazes. Not concerned about any awkwardness in the unblinking eye-contact.

He wants to study Dean Winchester, to understand him, to understand himself.

❝ What is it, about you, specifically? ❞    he muses, though he’s not really asking Dean.    ❝ How did you make me turn against my own kind? ❞    He’s not accusing, not regretting; only searching for an answer he does not expect to find.

the “yes, and-” approach & why it’s important in rp.

i think most people are at least somewhat aware of the yes, and- approach, but for those who aren’t, here’s a quick rundown of it. the yes, and approach basically started out as a concept for improv comedy (but it is extremely useful for rp as well and we will get to that). the approach is basically that no matter what your fellow actor presents to you, you shall not negate it, but instead roll with it. now why is this important in the rp community? well, i’m sure we’ve all been there at some point, on one end or another. two people are rping together, but the thread doesn’t seem to go anywhere, and might even get dropped due to it. and it might look a little something like this:

muse one reply:  “hey, you don’t look so good. are you okay?” muse two reply: “yeah, i’m fine.” muse one reply: “are you sure?” muse two reply: “yeah. thanks though.” muse one reply: “okay, if you say so. i’m carla, by the way. what’s your name?” muse two reply: “kate.”

you probably get the gist, that muse two does not really engage in anything. they never ask questions, they don’t build on anything, they just reply to what has already been said. this way, all the focus is put on muse two, and none of the focus is put on muse one. this will get very difficult for muse one to work with after a few replies. a better way for muse two to write replies here, might be “yeah, i’m fine. i just got off of work, so i’m just a little tired. thank you, though. how are you?” or when muse one asks if they’re sure “no, actually, i got into a struggle” or something like that. this way, you have your muse build on the story and drive things forward and give muse one something to reply to.

you don’t necessarily have to have your muse say anything either, if they for various reasons don’t usually talk much. have them do something. think something. react to something. show something. anything that the other muse can then respond to.

but the yes, and- approach isn’t only useful in character, but out of character too!

when you want to interact with someone or just get to know them, it’s a good idea to use the yes, and- approach here, too. an example below of what happens if you don’t, which i’ve personally encountered a lot is this:

mun one: hello! wanna plot? mun two: sure, i’d love to! mun one: cool!

here, mun one is asking to plot, but when the other agrees, they don’t come with any ideas themselves, nor asks if the other mun has any ideas. i’ve seen this kind of interaction keep going for quite a bit, with mun two trying to make some effort, and mun one continuing to give one-word responses. this will make mun two feel like all the plotting responsibility is put on them. instead of simply writing short 1-5 word responses like ‘cool’ and ‘sounds great’ and ‘i’m down’, try to engage by following up with some questions, like: 1) what would you be interested in? 2) do you have a wishlist? 3) what verse and/or au should we have our muses interact in? 4) should we do something pre-established or do a first interaction? 5) how do you think your muse would react to xyz?

this way, you’re actively driving the conversation forwards. this is important that both muns do. after all, roleplaying, talking, as well as plotting is a two-way street. you kind of need both to put in some effort to get anywhere.

Holy fire.  Unable to step away, Cas follows the fire catching on the holy oil, forming the ring of an angel trap around him in under a second. He’s getting  really, very tired of becoming trapped.  Really, it happens way too often, so while certainly alarming, it’s also... annoying. It’s sigils, it’s angel-proof handcuffs or chains, it’s a plain old ring of holy fire. But who, this time...?

Turning around to face his captor⸺  right, yes, this gives him pause.

❝ This is new, ❞    he offers, facing his double, unblinking, as he studies him.

The other Castiel is an angel, so if this is a trick, it’s a complex one; Cas can see people’s species to the range of human, demon, angel, other, with only a glance. He tilts his head, narrow eyes piercing, as he assesses. The double’s behaviour checks out, at least so far: if Cas spotted himself sauntering about, his first instinct would likely be to capture him, as well. The double’s also managed to do so, and he is not easy to lure into a trap.

So he had done something unlike himself and  ran away  rather than stay to fight (whoever was an enemy of Cerberus, he’d be on their side, mercenaries or no mercenaries), and that had probably saved him his life... Usually not one to flee, years of being a subject of experiments; it had started with the thresher maws on Akuze, yes, but long since evolved into attempted mind control. He has old scars and new scars circling around his head, mostly hidden beneath his hair, where Naomi had pierced his skull and dug into his brain over and over again. He has old acid burns along his shoulder blades from thresher maw acid, from Akuze. His body is littered with numerous others; repeated needle marks on his arms, old battle wounds from before it all... and fresh injuries, the skin of his chest partially shredded from where he’d been slashed with an omniblade, by the turians he’d been so kindly (he always knew it was a trap, but anything was better than Cerberus) transported into safer territory by... So much running...

This isn’t one of his assailants, though. Cas sits up (too fast, reeling), assessing his surroundings. This is someone’s home... there’s medigel and a bandage over his chest.

But he’s escaped from Cerberus; nowhere is safe, and no one around him is anything but collateral. They’ll come for him.

❝ What year is it? ❞    he demands, voice raspy. He can tell it’s been several years, but he’s not sure of the exact date.    ❝ I’m Lieutenant Castiel Krushnic; I was a part of the Alliance Marine unit sent on the colony on Akuze in 2177. I need to... need to contact... ❞    He gets most of his words out coherent enough, but the effort makes his head spin, so he’s forced to trail off.
