70 [Accidental Video]

[flameandpassion]

[The PCD turns on to show an empty hallway of the Temple to Heaven, quiet and calm and free of disturbance. It’s swinging lightly, back and forth -- Rei is holding it as she walks down the halls, quiet and peaceful -- but she pauses, at a slightly open door, and her expression is curious as she pokes the door open with a slight nudge of her foot.

And then, the PCD falls to the floor, to show the inside of the room, which is covered in what appears to be bloody symbols along the walls.]

What are you doing -- ?!

[Castiel is inside the room, focused on the task at hand, fingerpainting across the walls in what is indeed blood. He's cut open a wide gash on his arm to do so, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him.]

Warding. They need to be redone every so often; these in particular are over a month old and will lose effectiveness due to simple wear.

What did you do to your arm?

[The PCD is kicked a little into the room as Rei enters the room, but she pauses before she looks at Castiel’s injury to look around the room at the freshly warded room, mouth slightly open in shock at all of the handiwork --

-- before she snaps her attention back to his arm.]

-- Cas, you can’t just draw on the walls in blood, are you insane, use ink!

[He glances around the room as she does, before looking back at her and giving her an incredulous expression]

We don’t have that much ink, and you need it for talismans. And, regardless, it is more effective if done in blood.

We can make more ink and you can’t replenish your blood that quickly anymore, idiot --

[And Rei grabs at his wrist to pull his arm towards her, to see how deep the cut actually is.]

You’re dripping blood all over the floor.

[He lets her pull him toward her without protest, other than a sigh. He’s a little irritated at her overprotectiveness, as he doesn’t need it. He might be mortal now, but he could still ward a room.]

I’m fine. And blood is imprecise; it is going to get on the floor.

I know it’s going to get on the floor.

[It’s said snappishly -- because, hello, Rei is not stupid, thank you very much. But after she examines it to ensure that Castiel didn’t cut himself all that deeply -- … no, she still doesn’t look all that satisfied.]

Is all of this in your blood? Seriously? Did they not give you paint in Heaven or what?

[He is actually being careful for the most part, and hasn’t overdone it yet, despite the multitude of sigils across the the walls. At her questions, he looks at her once more, and gives a completely deadpan response.]

Most of it is mine. The rest belonged to the cat.

[Who said he couldn’t use sarcasm?]

[There is a long moment of staring before Rei’s hand shoots out to smack Castiel soundly upside the head. The sound is delightfully loud -- pity him, Adstringendum.]

That’s not funny! Don’t use my cat for some weird angel --

[But you don’t get to hear the rest of the argument. Rei has stepped on the PCD in her fight to teach Castiel a lesson, which severs the feed.]

You two might as well cut to the chase and just get married already.

[flameandpassion]

He said he sacrificed my cat!

[IGNORING YOUR COMMENT FOREVER.]

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

Is that what happened to your cat?

[Video]

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

No.

voice;

[flameandpassion]

-- no.

But he's the reason the stupid thing was missing in the first place --

[She's reaching off camera to hit him again, don't mind her.]

...

[There are so many things wrong with this that it is actually quite disturbing. No point in saying anything about that because Hino would only shut down the topic.

Well. Fine.]

So he is good for something.

[Like lessening the cat population.]

[video]

[flameandpassion]

[Yes. She would. -- because he is, actually, doing something extraordinarily helpful and useful to continue keeping the Temple off the map for the various evil godmodes that want them all dead.

Not that she would admit that.]

... thank you, Toushirou.

[The most exasperated.

And her cat is fine, thank you.]

... [Not sure what all this is about--he can follow the conversation, and understands that well enough--but one of them is bleeding and it doesn't look serious but...]

Are you both alright?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Ion, leave them to their domestic violence.]

We're fine. -- I'm fine.

He's bleeding on my floor.

[sonny-delight.livejournal.com]

Cat blood is fine if you're into that, but it doesn't have the same oomph as good old-fashioned baby or virgin blood.

[flameandpassion]

Thanks, but no thanks.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

None of those three were necessary.

[hyuugahime]

HIno-san! Did he really ... ?

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

The cat is fine. I was not serious.

[flameandpassion]

...

[Sigh.]

The cat sleeps in his room, Hinata.

[ff_red_turk]

... Interesting artwork.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

It isn't artwork.

[eightshoutpoles.livejournal.com]

Okay, why are you freaking out? You know what paint is made of, right?

[Video]

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Pigment and a binding agent, along with other assorted ingredients depending on particular purpose and use.

I believe she was upset due to putting blood on the walls, though it was for a valid purpose.

Re: [audio]

[flameandpassion]

Not blood.

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

[/completely ignoring the whole thing about the blood and the cat for ~important things~]

What is more effective in blood?

[video]

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Many things, from my world. Particularly most sigils pertaining to angels.

Re: [video]

[flameandpassion]

Fingerpainting, apparently.

-=He's interested in the wards=-

Are there many things you must protect yourself from?

Video

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Enough. And some of these need to be applied over an area.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[A smirk.] You're getting good at this, Cas. [And yes, she means sarcasm and not wards.]

When you two are done killing each other, I'd like your opinion on something.

[Finally, someone who actually liked the cat joke. Geez. People tell him to try more humor and then they're all DON'T JOKE ABOUT THAT. He doesn't understand humans. 8|]

Rei has left the room for the moment. What is it?
