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.

[He actually pauses to consider this question.]

Eddie.

Short for Edward.

And Edward is short for Edward Nygma.

[trenchcoatedly]

Hello, Eddie.

[insolubleriddle]

I think we're a little past the greeting stage.

But hello, Cas.

[trenchcoatedly]

Are you a warden or an inmate?

[insolubleriddle]

That's an unusual question to begin with. Will the answer be relevant to how you treat me?

[trenchcoatedly]

How you act is relevant to how I treat you.

[insolubleriddle]

Now, that's what I like to hear.

[trenchcoatedly]

You didn't answer the question.

[insolubleriddle]

I thought you might have taken some initiative by now. My journal blatantly states what position I take.

I graduated an inmate, just a little over a fortnight ago.

[trenchcoatedly]

This technology is still new to me.

[insolubleriddle]

You'll catch on, in time.

[He points his finger over the private function, turning it on.]

[Private]

Keep that button in mind.

PRIVATE

[trenchcoatedly]

Thank you.

PRIVATE

[insolubleriddle]

You're welcome.
