026 + FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD OVERCOMES THE WORLD [video]

[trenchcoatedly]

[For once, Castiel is actually in his room. He's sitting on the bed. The wall behind him is scrawled with sigils (not counting the gentleman in the suit). He takes a deep breath, steadying himself.]]

It is my great honor to announce that Richie Gecko has graduated. He's returned to Mexico and will be waiting for his brother there.

I, too, will be departing soon. I owe my vessel his freedom, as I promised, and my friends in my universe may need my help. I can't say when I'll be departing, but it will be soon. Afterwards, I will no longer possess a physical form. If you need help or aid, you can call for me, however, and I will help you as much as I can. It make take me a few moments to locate you in the multiverse, but I will come.

I should be in the greenhouse if anyone would like to resolve any old conflicts with me.

[LOCKED to ANYA]
Is it too late to apologize for my conduct?

THank you.

And thank you for all your help.

[trenchcoatedly]

He understood the flaws of his character, and in doing so took steps to correct them.

[She shakes her head.] Couldn't have done it myself.

You get so much more about people than you ever thought you did. More than I thought you did.

[trenchcoatedly]

Some things I understand better than humans. Some things I understand worse.

in danganland, "graduation" = "literally get away with murder"

[syouko]

That's what it's really all about?

your canon is hella strange yo

[trenchcoatedly]

Yes.

[surrenders]

It hit a point where you were the only one who'd get him, I think.

private

[syouko]

What if it isn't safe to try?

[trenchcoatedly]

Maybe it did. If so, I'm glad I was there when I needed to be.

[trenchcoatedly]

Sometimes becoming a better person is dangerous, but in order to self-improve, there are always obstacles to overcome.

[syouko]

[What is this "to grow it has to hurt" nonsense? It's like something she would have put in the mouths of one of her wise old men, and that means it isn't true. He's implying she's selfish, isn't he?] It isn't safe for anyone else here.

[surrenders]

[So is she, since it came about around the time she started to have so many other people to watch, but she'll just give him a look to thank him.]

Should have trusted you from the start.

[scarlet_discord]

[It honestly takes her a while to reply. Every time someone who came her crueler or crazier than her gets out before she does it causes jealousy. She found someone to talk that out with before contacting Castiel.]

Hey, congratulations.

Look, uh...can we talk before you go? I just want to clear the air. I sort of figured something out.

[trenchcoatedly]

Thank you.

And I'd like that.

[trenchcoatedly]

Trust earned is better than trust given.

[surrenders]

...I guess.

But there's a lot I did I should have helped you do. I didn't trust you and it didn't have anything to do with anything you did.

[trenchcoatedly]

Life isn't safe.

[trenchcoatedly]

It's fine. My feelings aren't hurt. I simply hope you will make better decisions in the future.

[scarlet_discord]

So, uh...meet you up in the greenhouse maybe? Fozzie will behave.[She's shy, because she knows she was bitter with him last time, but this is important if he's really going.]

[trenchcoatedly]

I'm there. And I like dogs.

[nolongerhollow]

Success then! Ah, but you are leaving us. Good things do come to an end eventually, I suppose.

You have my thanks, and you will be in my thoughts. When we meet again I hope to have started building a new reputation for myself.

[trenchcoatedly]

I will always be watching over you, and if you are in need of a shield, all you need to do is call for me.

You've already started.

[syouko]

So you don't care what happens to someone else as long as "good comes out of it".

[surrenders]

Sometimes you got to talk to people.

[trenchcoatedly]

I find that an effective solution for many problems.
