[She hesitates. She doesn't much like how he refers to them as vessels, or how he doesn't seem to have an issue with just taking over someone's body.]

Are you planning on possessing anyone else?

No. Even if I were without a vessel, it's doubtful that anyone here would be of the correct bloodline. [So don't worry about it, CT.

And, because she seems worried:] Angels require the permission of the host before taking possession of a vessel. It's entirely voluntary.

[How reassuring. Or it would be, if she trusted him at all.

Of course, it's more than likely that he's lying and/or crazy and can't actually possess anyone at all. Whatever he really is, she doesn't believe he's an angel.

Still...]

What if you need a new one and no one volunteers?

I go without. [Which would be a huge problem here, but the Emperor seems protective of her people so Castiel is sure she'd come up with a solution.]

So you'd just float around like a ghost or something?

I'd exist in a state that burns out people's eyes and bursts their eardrums, but essentially. Yes.

...Right.

[c r a z y]

In that case, maybe you should line up some volunteers ahead of time, just in case.

It doesn't work like that. [lady are you not listening or something]

Why not? Shouldn't you have some kind of contengency plan?

[At this point, she's not sure if she actually believes any of what she's saying or if she's just trolling him. But hey, it never hurts to be sure.]

I don't think any of us really want you flying around burning people's eyes out.

Even if someone were to be capable of forcing me from my vessel, I'm sure the Emperor would have me contained safely to protect the lives of her people.

You think she'd do that? She hasn't stopped people from being killed here before. Or just disappearing.

[not that CT's bitter about all her friends just up and vanishing, or anything.]

If she doesn't intervene, I'll find a way to hide myself. Otherwise, there's nothing I can do.

And you really don't eat. At all.

I don't need to, no.

Do you sleep?

Not usually. [Near-fatal woundings excluded.]

[She narrows her eyes at him. Doesn't eat. Doesn't sleep. And he doesn't seem to be just doing this to fuck with people - this all seems genuine, all the way up to offering to give his money away.

But angels aren't real.]

What year are you from?

[...that's a difficult question to answer.]

The early twenty-first century, by my Earth's modern calendar.

[Well. The twenty-first century thing is weird, but he's far from the only one in this place who hails from far in the past.

The way he says it, though...CT raises her eyebrows at him, tilting her head.]

Your Earth?

Yeah. There's several dimensional versions of Earth, but no commonly accepted identifiers.

You're talking about the multiverse theory.

[Which...actually, given what she's seen here, seems like less of a theory and more of a fact every day. There's certainly no Superman in her world.]

And your Earth has angels.

Not a theory, but yes. It does.

[also other dimensions suck because they're dumb]

I guess it's not.

[Not anymore, not based on what she's seen. She watches him contemplatively, thinking. How much else is different? It's too early for aliens there, isn't it? Or even space travel?]

What else does your Earth have?

[um]

I could list all the animal and plant species, or summarize the events of the last thousand years for you. [Which could take a little while.]
