[ Okay, it's not just checking up on him. It's been one of those days that she's been poking at people, seeing if she can dig up anything useful since the mansions been so quiet recently. It makes her uneasy.

And there he goes, poking at the thing she didn't want to talk about. She shouldn't be surprised. ]

Sure did. Good memories, can't wait until it happens again.

[ She purses her lips as she sends that, and then rolls her eyes before sending another. ]

Woke up in my bed about a day later, pretty as you please. Good to know they weren't lying about that whole 'coming back from the dead' crap. Still had blonde hair, though. Lucky me.

[ She took care of that soon after she woke up and got her sword back. ]

[It's an interesting tidbit of information. Unlike Daryl and Dean, Meg doesn't seem to have suffered any side effects after her revival. That likely has something to do with the fact that she's a demon, and demons are used to suffering all kinds of damage to the bodies they possess.

It wouldn't seem right to offer condolences or to act too protective toward her, and so Castiel thinks better of it, asking instead a much simpler question.]

Have you changed that now

[Not that it's in any way up to him, but if he were asked, Castiel would have to admit that he prefers the dark hair to the blonde dye. It shouldn't even matter, as physical appearance is irrelevant to him, and yet he's come to realize he has an opinion. It's strange.]

Damn straight I did, you think I want to run around with Crowley's mark on me?

[ Hell no. She should have done it earlier, but she couldn't be fucked with it until she took a trip into the land of the dead. She's hoping if she happens to run into the wrong end of something else she doesn't wake back up with blonde hair again. ]

Gonna take a wild guess here, but you didn't kick the bucket when the hounds were around, did you?

[Castiel could ask her why she hadn't dyed it before in that case, but he doesn't see much point in that.

Not to mention the fact that Meg's quick to change the subject. Chances are that if he had died, Meg would have heard about it, the same way that news of her death had come around to him. From the most unexpected person, but that's beside the point.]

No. I havent died here.

[Whether or not it happens in the future remains to be seen, but he would easily take a metaphorical bullet to stop Dean from dying a second, third, or fourth time.]

Lucky you. Give it time, I'm pretty sure everyone's pushed up a few daisies here at some point.

[ Then again he is an angel. There isn't much that can kill them, is there? Angel swords and...that's about all she knows. She was surprised the hounds managed to take her down, though, but then maybe Wonderland doesn't want a demon around who's body wasn't fully in tact, who knows. ]

You think it's even possible? Not a whole lot can penetrate that angel armor of yours.

[There are a few other things that can kill angels, most notably leviathans, but the fact is that Castiel doesn't concern himself with it overly much. For the most part, it's siblings who've killed him. First Raphael, then Lucifer.

But if he hadn't put much thought into worrying about death before, that's even more the case now that he knows for certain he'll come back.

Granted, that had happened back home as well.]

I have a few siblings here.

One who you claim to serve. He is sometimes problematic.

[Thankfully, Lucifer hasn't bothered him much. Castiel doesn't want to be blown into pieces again if he can avoid that. And he doubts Gabriel would ever go that far. He truly isn't like the other archangels.]

[ Yeah, there is that. Having Lucifer around has been...strange. It feels her with a manic energy that all demons seem to get around his presence, because he's Lucifer. Their Father, the one who made the first of them and decided how the rest would be molded.

She spent many years as devoted as a demon can be, but once she thought he was gone for good she put it behind her. Now it's just been more uncertainty piled on top of her confusion about her place in the world.

All of this, though, isn't something she's exactly jumping to spill about. ]

Yeah, can't say I saw that one coming. Don't run into him much around here, though, pretty sure he's busy.

[ She also may possibly be avoiding him. Mostly because she hasn't figured out a way to reconcile herself now with herself back then. It's almost like being human all over again, and she's not too pleased with it. ]

Problematic's a cute way to put it. Is that what you say about me? Or is it more of that abomination talk that really gets me going?

[ She's actually kind of teasing. Even if he does go on about abominations and what not, she's not too bothered about it. To angels, yeah, that's what she is. Doesn't mean she can't hold her own. ]

[Having Lucifer around may be strange for Meg, but that applies to Castiel as well. Strange wouldn't even be the right word for it. Castiel literally has no idea how to handle that situation, and so he's been avoiding the Devil just the same.

Seeing how Lucifer's been quiet since his arrival and hasn't even spoken to him about the tablet, that's been a simple enough task. But he can hardly shake the feeling that at some point, something's going to snap or shift and then they'll all be in worlds of trouble.

If Lucifer is busy, Castiel has no idea what with, and that alone is a worrying thought.

While Meg's teasing is always difficult for him to deal with, he does have the benefit of speaking through text, at a distance, which gives him time to formulate a response.

Maybe texting does have one upside.]

You are an abomination. Lucifer is in his own category.

[There. Perfectly detached.]

[ She just smirks down at her screen. Good ol' Clarence. Her feelings aren't bruised at all, she likes this back and forth between them. It's weird to even have something resembling a rapport with an angel, and just like her status of straddling the line of being 'good' and being 'bad' she's not sure how well it sits with her.

Doesn't mean she won't roll with it. She'll do what feels natural, it's the only way to go. ]

That's sweet of you, Clarence. You know how I love it when you get all affectionate. Anymore nicknames you got for me?

[ Lucifer is certainly in a category all his own, and one she doesn't want to put a label on. She can't predict his reaction to her lending a helping hand to the Winchesters, and she doesn't want to test that unknown. She's happy keeping her activities quiet. ]

[If it's weird for Meg to have a rapport with an angel, it's even stranger for Castiel to have a rapport with a demon. It goes against everything he's ever been taught, but the fact is that he can't put nearly as much stock in Heaven's teachings as he once had.

Which doesn't necessarily justify what he's doing, but nothing has been right in years, according to what he should be. He's been twisted and changed and altered so many times that is it really that much surprise that he's found one demon he maybe gets along with?

No, even when he thinks of it like that, it's still odd. But he's willing to go along with it. And once again, the distance makes it easier.]

Its not a nickname, its what you are. Your name is too short to shorten.

[Plus, he doesn't do nicknames.]

You know what they say about abominations, don't you, Clarence?

[ There is, in fact, no saying about them, but making it up on the fly is good enough. She gets a kick out of messing with him. It's not actually done out of maliciousness on her part, either, something she refuses to dwell on. ]

They're the best lay you'll ever have. Wanna give it a go sometime?

[ Oh, she remembers that little conversation they had before skipping off to open crypts and snatch tablets. She was serious about that suggestion, because he's been twisted from his original flavor. There's something about that, it really catches her interest. Regardless if he's interested or not. ]

[In a way, Castiel's been expecting this. Both of them remember that conversation, of course, so it had only been a matter of time before Meg brought it up again.

And he still doesn't know what to do with it. The immediate reaction is that fornicating with an abomination is a terrible idea, but he can hardly deny that there's a part of him that's curious -- the same part that had decided to kiss Meg back when she'd made that first move.

But he can't, especially not here. He has siblings here, and while he doubts that Gabriel or Lucifer would care all that much, he would feel the judgment. And imagine Lucifer's gloating if he found out that Castiel had become intimate with one of his creations.

No, it isn't possible. Maybe... maybe if things had played out differently back home, but not here.]

This isnt the time or the place.

Pretty sure anytime is the time and place. Just gotta find a vacant room and get down to business.

[ There's a part that's slightly disappointed. She can't be sure if it's because it would break up some of the monotony in this place - because it sure as hell gets boring around here - or if there's some other underlying reason. Curiosity, maybe.

She doesn't care to put a name to it, because then that could really complicate things. She prefers keeping it simple. ]

You change your mind, you know where to find me. Don't worry, I make sure to treat you just right.

[ She can bet he's not worried about that. ]

[Castiel has no need for semantics, and he imagines that Meg knows perfectly well why this wouldn't be a good idea. Not here, not in this place with so many of the others here, with people from their pasts that would hardly be able to understand how an angel and a demon could...

No, it can't happen. Meg can make any advances that she wants, but Castiel has to hold steady on this.

He imagines that a demon would be good with that kind of thing, as sex is one of their chosen vices, but he doesn't need to dwell on that thought process for any extended period of time.

In fact, it would be better if he ended this right now.]

Noted.

[ She knows when she's managed to drag all her jollies out of text time with Castiel. She'll be sure to make it a habit, though, because it turns out it's more fun than she originally thought. ]

Catch you later, Clarence. Don't get into too much trouble, someone might think you lost your halo.
