[ For a moment all that's heard is some grunting and probably a few obscene curses. He's still trying to figure the phone out, but that's because he's not familiar with it. Technology isn't Benny's strong suit in the slightest. He had a flip phone when him and Dean were talking, but he ditched that a long time ago. Getting anything fancier never really appealed to Benny. No need. This thing wasn't what he wanted to be shackled to at all.

Suddenly a fuzzy beard appears in frame and it's clearly speckled with spots of gray. There are a few more grunts as Benny finally arrives at the conclusion that this isn't just your run of the mill phone. Then again the only phones he's familiar with are the flip ones. This one's in a whole different league and dammit if it's not pissing him off.

He clears his throat quickly and finally becomes a little more visible on the screen. When he found this damn thing in his pocket he didn't know what to expect, but maybe he could get a hold of someone who could help him out. ] I don't think this damned thing is even workin', but if anyone's out there I could sure use a nudge in the right direction. A state would greatly appreciated. This house don't look too comfortin' and I'm itchin' to get the hell outta dodge.

Comments

Never mind me, I just noticed a really stupid typo that bothers me, sorry

[Castiel has resisted the strange urge to roll his eyes for quite a few past encounters. He is usually successful, but Dean in particular is pushing his metaphorical buttons (was it buttons? Castiel is fairly certain). Now, the vampire joins that elite rank. Castiel shakes his head a little.]

I'm from 2009 and haven't met you yet. My behind is not feathery, and my memory is perfectly intact for all events I have lived through.

[Not entirely correct, but Castiel is still several years away from finding that out.]

[exvampirate]

Don't get your panties in a twist, feathers. We're all friends here--eventually. [ Oh how he did sort of miss riling this man up. Rattling his cage when they were being chased by big uglies did give Benny some sort of satisfaction out there. It was just so easy to get under the little angel's skin when they were out there. ] Other than the beard I don't see much of a change. The beard was good. You should start on that.

[Castiel's expression is mostly stoic, with just a hand of puzzlement as he reaches up and touches his fingertips to his jaw. Stubble, there, no bear, and he's never had one. It seems like Purgatory will bring more changes to him than he'd known about.]

You're Dean's friend, not mine. And you association with him alone is what grants you safety from being eliminated for what you are.

[Yeah, Castiel sadly has not learned his lessosn in monsters being wortwhile, too. Or that there's a little bit of bad in him, too. Because hearing it from Dean is one thing, but emotionally living through it quite another.]

I have no inclination to let my physical appearance change. I'm an angel of the Lord. My powers preserve this vessel.

[exvampirate]

Elimination. That sounds final, feathers. Why you gotta go breakin' my heart like that? I thought we were close. I saved your butt from Levithans in that hell hole. You could at least trust in future you to know you made the right choice right? [ He's a little offended that he would think the future of himself would make horrible choices in who he chooses to associate with. Not that they had much choice, but they had a bond down there. Something to connect them. He's almost hurt about this.

He purses his lips when Castiel talks about changing his appearance. He probably should if it'll help him take that gigantic stick outta his ass. Damn. ] I almost miss my crazy aunt.

[freetobe]

[Oh, don't be too offended, Benny. Castiel has heard many stories about his future self, and none of them make him trust in his own judgement. He seems to have a penchant for taking the wrong path to the right goals. However, the last comment sidetracks him from replying.]

It's unlikely but not impossible your blood relatives would be here, as well.

[Yeah, sometimes Castiel is literal to the point of being annoying, sometimes it's just his sense of humor, but in this case, he's mostly earnest.]

[exvampirate]

Really? None of my kinfolk is runnin' 'round this place? [ Yeah. That's his genuine brand of vampire sarcasm right there, Castiel. He's definitely missed your inability to get his jokes. Now all he needs is Dean giving him a face while Benny continues to rattle this guys cage. It's starting to feel a little more like Purgatory now.

He almost wants to ruffle the guy's hair, but he'll just have to hold off for now. There's only so much he can throw at the little soldier before he starts getting testy and mouthing off about smiting him. ] Cleaner trench coat, but you still just as lost.

[freetobe]

I know perfectly well where I am.

[Castiel's frown deepens a little. It seems to him that the vampire might deliberatel try to provoke him. He simply can't determine why. From Dean's narration, he couldn't figure out what his own relation to the vampire was - the explanation involved a glare, a huff and thrown up hands, as if Dean had no idea himself. For now, the vampire puzzles and frustrates him, because Castiel knows he's supposed to see him as an ally. For now, he just fail to see why he should surround himself with such a frustrating being.

He lacks the perspective of knowing that no matter how the vampire needles them, he comes through in a dangerous situation. That, in turn, will be interesting and baffling to discover, once again.]
