001 + THY KINGDOM COME [video]

[There is an angel on the deck.]

[Well, not that you can tell. It's a man in a trenchcoat, a cheap suit, and a crooked tie. He's staring up into space, and then he looks over the long deck of the barge. Finally, he turns and faces the camera. He looks like he could use a nap.]

It's smaller than I expected.

It seems like whenever you sign up to do something......you're expected, immediately, to know how to do it, no matter what the scope. Maybe even the larger the scope, the less instruction you're given. Maybe that's intention. You should be expected to know how to live your life, but a simple ritual comes with easy instructions.

[He shakes his head, annoyed with himself.]

I....That was the wrong impression. My name is Castiel. I'm a warden.

What's smaller than you expected? It's a boat in space. How big can it be?

[Have a Richie staring at you out of boredom, Cas.]

[trenchcoatedly]

A boat in space could, technically, be extremely large.

[notafuckingnut]

Infinitely.

But they aren't. Most aren't even as big as a city.

[trenchcoatedly]

No, I suppose not. But knowing this boat to have so many options, I thought it'd be larger.

[notafuckingnut]

Maybe it's bigger on the inside. Or something. What's it matter?

[trenchcoatedly]

It doesn't.

[notafuckingnut]

Then why say it at all? It's a boat in space, it can be however big or small it wants. It's not like it's the Death Star.

[trenchcoatedly]

[Richie gets a flat look here. What's the Death Star?]

You don't comment on any unexpected appearances of things you see?

[notafuckingnut]

[HOW DON'T YOU KNOW THE DEATH STAR, SIR. IT'S ONLY THE MOST INFLUENTIAL EVIL SPACESHIP EVER. ...Besides HAL.]

Being on a spaceship's fucking weird enough to start with, size isn't really the issue.

[trenchcoatedly]

I suppose not.
