trenchcoatedly[Castiel is in his room. It looks extremely sparse and unused, with a neatly made bed and otherwise very little else. By the way, the walls are his room are scrawled with mysterious symbols in both black and blood-red. Ignore the handsome gentleman in the screen. He is not in Castiel's room.]
I've located a prayer room on the ship. I'm curious if anyone would be interested in a service or a sermon? Bear in mind this would be to my Heavenly Father, the Holy Lord, He Who Watches, and no other gods that are worshiped. I'll also try to answer any questions about His Everlasting Majesty, though I can't promise my answers will be sufficient.
Interruptions and blasphemy will not be permitted.
It will be on Friday, and there may be a Sunday service.
[LOCKED to DEAN (and bcc'd to BUFFY)]
My recent actions were tainted by the flood. I apologize if I disturbed you.
[LOCKED to BUFFY]
Have you heard of the "shadow barge"?
[OPEN - added later]
The service will be moved. Does anyone have a particular place, or should the deck suffice?

Date: 2012-02-22 04:00 pm (UTC)I must show you a spell to banish me if it comes to that.
[Private]
Date: 2012-02-26 02:07 pm (UTC)Wait. You want me, who has already been pretty anti-you-possessing-a-guy if he's willing or not, to know how to banish you. [...] Why do you trust me so much? You don't even know me.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2012-02-26 04:00 pm (UTC)Additionally, the casting requires some.... fortitude, and it sounds as if you've seen your share of battles.
This spell won't separate me from my vessel, just so you know. If you banish me, he comes too. It's something I'd prefer to keep secret because being banished is... excruciating. Additionally, I'm not even sure I can find my way back here if I'm sent away.
[Private]
Date: 2012-02-26 04:12 pm (UTC)If you still want to give me the info on the banishing spell, I'm in. I've worked some magic before.. But how complicated are we talking here?
Re: [Private]
Date: 2012-02-26 04:15 pm (UTC)The spell is very simple.
[Private]
Date: 2012-02-26 04:29 pm (UTC)I can do simple.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2012-02-26 04:34 pm (UTC)[Wait, what?!]
A demon?
I saw you wield that weapon. You wouldn't have been able to unless you were a holy warrior, and certainly not if you possessed demon power. There must have been some part of the spell, some essence of the ritual that changed it. He is all-powerful, and such things would not, of course, be beyond His ability to grant to his servants.

Date: 2012-02-26 04:42 pm (UTC)[Buffy kind of rolls her eyes at him.] Different world, different rules, Castiel. No, we're not demons. But that's how they made us, made the Slayer line. We own our own power now.
[Slight eyebrow raise.] Still trust me?
Re: [Private]
Date: 2012-02-26 04:44 pm (UTC)And someone must know. You're my best option.
[Private]
Date: 2012-02-26 04:47 pm (UTC)Okay. Tell me what I need to know.

If I show you the sigil once, will you remember it?
Action
Date: 2012-02-26 06:26 pm (UTC)Probably. But I don't think we should leave something this important up to my memory. [She moves to grab a pen and notebook out of her desk.]
Re: Action
Date: 2012-02-26 06:31 pm (UTC)[He reaches for the pen and draws the sigil for her.]
Draw this in your blood, then press the palm of your hand to the center to activate it.
Action
Date: 2012-02-26 06:36 pm (UTC)AKA, she doesn't seem very impressed. She's fought basically invincible things and has beaten them all.
She wordlessly takes the notebook back and gives the symbol a look-over.] Blood, huh? It's always gotta be blood.. [Buffy looks back at Cas.] So if you turn evil, if we can't stop you, I'll get my blood magic on and kick you out. Is that the deal?
Re: Action
Date: 2012-02-26 06:39 pm (UTC)It's best used written on a wall or door, and the angel you're banishing must be in the same room as the activating sigil.

Re: Action
Date: 2012-02-26 07:37 pm (UTC)Yes.
]He seems to consider this question at length, putting his hands in his pockets and staring at the ceiling.]
I'm doing well. I was concerned I had exposed myself to Dean, but it seems that I didn't. [A beat.] I lied to him, though. [That's obviously not sitting well with him.]
I wish this wasn't so complicated. Not just Dean, just... this place.
Action
Date: 2012-02-26 07:48 pm (UTC)I don't like being dishonest with him either. Not like this. But you did the right thing. [Buffy looks at him again.] As for the complicatedness of this place? It doesn't get easier.
Re: Action
Date: 2012-02-26 08:03 pm (UTC)Nothing ever gets easier.
