.voice test. in which Cas asks The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything

[trenchcoat]

What does it all mean?

Comments

[descending]

You should be more specific.

[trenchcoat]

[aaand cas wasn't expecting that, n-not that it shows or anything. you know, much.

guilt suppression go, stoic demeanor get.]

It. ...Everything.

[there's a soft sigh and the brief sound of his palms rubbing together.]

God's will.

[descending]

Maybe the meaning is solely in the search for it. Wanting the answers is the only answer you'll get, Castiel.

[huntersdaughter]

That's a helluva way to start things out.

[trenchcoat]

I figured I should [how does the saying go?] 'make an entrance'.

[pause for comedic effect. enter, crickets.]

Hello Jo.

[huntersdaughter]

It seemed to do the trick. You feeling okay?

[sent_farfaraway]

Big question, Wings. Sure you want an answer?

[trenchcoat]

From you? No.

[awkwardly]

Oh... uh... I'm not the one to ask. [scratches the back of his head. clears his throat.]

That's... way over my pay grade.

[trenchcoat]

Luckily for you we do not pay you to answer such questions.

[only to write them, which is a little annoying if he's honest, chuck!]

[hadaweekend_off]

The 'hell are you doing askin' a dumb question like that?

[trenchcoat]

I apologize if my question has made you uncomfortable, Bobby. It was not my intention.

[badassmotherhunter]

It means you should sit your ass down and just take things as they come. No sense in tryin' to figure it all out, Cas.

[trenchcoat]

But then what is the point of a question if it is only to go unanswered?

[tell him ellen, he really needs to know.]

[hulksmashitude]

Ours is not question why; ours is but to do until we die.

OH LORD ALL THESE EDITS

[trenchcoat]

[now that certainly sounds familiar. but he does not know this... individual. hn. curious.]

I do not know who you are, but it seems as though we are born of a similar creed, you and I.

LMFA IT'S ALL GOOD BABY

[hulksmashitude]

[She raises an eyebrow, and her eyes flash that creepy red and black for a long moment before going back to blue.]

All scans indicate that you're a charmingly squishy organic being, so I can assure you that we were born of different circumstances. But as a reference to our philosophical approach to life, perhaps you're correct.

[thebeatofherheart]

Forty-two.

[trenchcoat]

[that- ...what? i imagine cas would be very confused by a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.]

I... do not understand [that reference.] Sorry.

[thebeatofherheart]

[she laughs]

It's a movie. These beings built a machine to provide the answer to that question. And the answer they got was forty-two.

[hasperkynipples]

You start askin' that, you're only going to wind up with a headache. Trust me.

ahem

[trenchcoat]

[already there dean, he's already there.

cas sighs through his nose, pinching it.]

I believe I am starting to understand why you [pauses very briefly. he was going to leave it at 'you', but thinks better of it.] humans [emphasis on the 'humans', yup, he was generalizing all along] constantly feel the need to distract yourselves with things of a more...fatuous nature.

[hasperkynipples]

Or maybe we just don't care.

[imnot_likeyou]

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosphy." Or something like that.

[trenchcoat]

[no sam.]

That is not an answer. [but he does like that quote. mentally cataloging it for later use to wow you all with his grasp of your 'pop-culture'.]
