trenchcoatedly | 003 + THE LORD HATH HIS WAY IN THE WHIRLWIND AND THE STORM [video]

[Castiel is in the greenhouse.]

The demon Shendu has been smote and cast to oblivion; he won't bother this ship any longer, nor his host. I hope any sustained injuries have been taken care of. Thank you, jailor, for feeding my vessel while it hungered. And to Eddie and his associate, for freeing me from that cell. Its power was suffocating.

Does the cafeteria serve hamburgers and.. [he pauses, considering the the words] "root beer"?

[PRIVATE to the ADMIRAL]

All I know about you is your negligence and great strength, but I see no harm in requesting a number of. I can pick up a tree or bush of any size, weight or height and any place on this ship, so that won't be a concern. I suppose you'll probably ignore this. I won't be offended.

[Castiel details a lengthy list of plants that require all kinds of habitats and climates, from your classic chrysanthemum and wildflowers to venus fly traps, massive redwoods and parasitic vines. He knows all of their scientific names, of course. He's shooting for the moon here.]

[PRIVATE to ARTHAS]

You're no demon. Are you one of purgatory's children?

[PRIVATE to HOFFMAN and BUFFY]

I politely request you not banish me.

I'm a Death Knight. Undead, animated by magic.

Fascinating. You were born human, but became this?

Yes. Satisfied?

For now.

I should not inhabit this vessel for much longer. Years, less than a dozen. I can protect them until them.

And what does he get back for his twelve years?

Eternal salvation and peace in heaven, and the protection of an angel in life.

He wouldn't have gotten that before?

Perhaps the former, unlikely the latter.

How generous.

[He offers an unentertained scowl as a response to this.]

I suppose there would be no use in telling you what you're doing is disgusting?

I can't help but see the humor in an undead telling a soldier of Heaven he's disgusting.

I'm undead because things like you interfered with my life.

[dryly] Of course.

[His lip curls.] I was a "vessel" for something that took it upon himself to make some improvements to its host.

And no matter what I am, it doesn't change the fact that you're taking everything from the person you're borrowing and giving nothing back.

You know nothing of my goals, nor my agreement with my vessel.

I've spoken to both of you and the impression has been less than impressive. By all means, though. Explain.

I don't care what you think of me, creature.

I will leave this vessel as it was granted to me when I am done, and I will be done soon. You will always be a broken soul, and may my Holy Father have mercy on you if you are ever to truly pass.

You can't even defend your actions.

You've no idea what I've done.

I know you did this.

And if I've used this vessel to bring life where there was once death? To save lives?

Why couldn't you do the same in your own damn body? Make an empty one, use one that doesn't have a mind in it any more - this can't be the only way.

[Castiel closes his eyes and stretches his shoulders in a gesture of obvious annoyance. It's not quite a shrug or an eyeroll, but the attitude is very evident.]

If an option existed where I could do what I've done with my full might, I assure you I would gladly take it.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case, regardless of your presumptions of how my world works.

And what was so Light-damn important?
