wingsandwill[Castiel flips on the feed, once again in the safehouse he had broadcasted from with Jo. He looks worse for the wear this time, pale and splattered with blood, but there's also something much more subtly different about him.
Anyone with senses for the supernatural that could've picked it out amidst the rest of the chaos might have felt a surge of energy--similar to when Raphael had died, but less--about half an hour earlier.]
If anyone is in need of transportation, I am capable of moving myself and whoever necessary through the fire safely. Supplies as well; should anyone have large containers that might be used to transfer water, that will be of use.
I can be contacted through PCD, or through mental communication addressed to me. I will be able to find you in this manner, so if you are trapped or injured and cannot use your PCD, this method will be effective.
[Filtered to list*]
There is something occurring involving the death and return cycle. It is functioning incorrectly and too quickly; restoration is almost immediate but fatal injuries are not healed. If not interrupted, it simply leads to death being repeated seemingly endlessly.
Tell anyone you feel should know. This is filtered only to avoid potential panic.
[[ooc: *List being Rei, Raven, Jo, Al, Ed, Botan, Sango, Hitsugaya, Nathaniel, Lucifer, Gabriel, Unohana, Alexia, and Riza. Basically anyone taking a leadership role during this/anyone he's close with; if you feel your character might be on here and forgotten, just PM me!
Also, feel free to use this post for offlines/communication by prayer if you choose, just put the time/date in the subject if appropriate; his IC contact is also fine for this. He'll be available to heal anyone stuck in deathloops or otherwise injured, or simply to transport people. Hope you like angel flight~]]

I don't -- care if I die, I can't let this world fall apart, I won't let it get torn apart because I helped open Pandora's box, I need to find her and stop this and end it.

You need to think logically, Rei.

I damned this world. I damned it. All of this, all of this around us, is my fault. I could have stopped it, and I didn't, because I was stupid enough to think that fixing this world would be as easy as summoning something that's older than I ever will be and I can't fix this by just thinking about it!
People are dying, people I love are dying -- you just died and you expect me to just -- push that aside and ignore it, I can't do that! She cut me into pieces to prove a point, she took -- a sword -- and cut my spinal chord -- so I couldn't run away -- and then she put it on the network -- so that all of you could see it -- and now she's just killing all of you and if I died to save this world and everyone I care about in it, then that would be doing my duty more of a service than playing chess with it!

Date: 2012-01-09 09:08 pm (UTC)I am aware of all of this, Rei. I am also aware of how I acted after I discovered what I do in my world, for the same reasons you did what you have here.
Getting yourself killed would do nothing but assuage your own guilt. Your proposed course of action is nothing more than suicide under the pretense of assisting.
There are indeed logical approaches to this, and what will be of use is to put aside your emotion on this matter and think. If you cannot, then stay with someone who can, whether myself or Hitsugaya.
Being here to help when this is all over is a better way to repent than causing your own death.

Date: 2012-01-09 09:29 pm (UTC)No one is going to want anything to do with me after this is over, Cas. I'm only being put up with because I'm one of maybe three people in this city that can control fire without dying. The only grace the Animus granted me was not taking away my powers before I had an opportunity to make a bigger fool of myself in dying to stop them.
[It doesn't sound defeated; it sounds miserable. She knows, full well, that she has her place in the ladder of Adstringendum. It used to be very high. Now she's going to be lucky if anyone speaks to her at all once the chaos melts away, once they fix this. And the senshi is quiet, for a moment or two, to dwell on that -- her credibility is ruined, the faith the city had in her is ruined, her position on the police force is ruined, her entire life is now essentially ruined -- before she clears her throat with a cough, to try and dislodge the uncomfortable weight that has settled there.]
Toushirou doesn't need to know.
[Anything. About what she feels, or what she wants to do, or how hard it is to keep fighting, because he's already put enough on the line to keep her safe, and she refuses to burden him with one more thing.]
