Both. You seem to have a sharp enough mind. I would appreciate the insight.

[ He doesn't say 'for a human'.

He only thinks it. ]

[webshoots]

You could tell all that from a look?

[webshoots]

I think it's difficult for anyone to grow much over 20 years if they don't have the stimulus, and being trapped somewhere like here as a 17 year old... I think she's still a kid. A kid that's had a rough time of it and probably had to make some awful decisions. It's difficult to say at this point how much of a say she really has.

I don't think she's malicious, if that's what you're asking.

As for here. It's a pocket dimension, right? That's about the long and short of it. Contrary to semi-popular opinion, I DON'T think the way out's going to be on a boat. I don't even think the boat serves as much more than decoration and a convenient vessel.

[freetobe]

The boat is unlikely to be more than a focal point of entry. If you wish to take subjects from their designated point in their designated universe, you could take care to seamlessly integrate them into the point of destination on a metaphysical level to varying degrees, or you could merely find a specific point to push them through. The former requires a lot of ower and attetion to detail. The latter is much more time and energy efficient.

[ Castiel, it seems, agrees with Peter. ]

You've had experience with the existence of other dimensions, pocket or otherwise?

[webshoots]

Theoretically speaking, sure. I'm a scientist.

...And I know a few people who've had less than theoretical experiences.

Beyond that? Not really. I've barely left New York.

[freetobe]

I was under the impression human scientists were surprisingly unaware and close minded of the larger cosmic forces at work, despite their efforts.

Well done.

[webshoots]

I can only speak for my Earth, but: we're aware.

In spite of our efforts, maybe.

[freetobe]

Humans have an exceptional talent for rationalizing and overlooking some things that appear obvious to outside perspective.

It's a fascinating quirk of how your minds work.

[webshoots]

There's a saying for that, you know -- "can't see the forest for the trees".

Which means as far as backhanded compliments go: that doesn't even hit top five.

[freetobe]

I assure you, unlike many of my kind I value humanity greatly. For all your flaws, you've brought countless wonders to the world. My kind was meant to be divine perfection, and I've found us lacking in comparison.

[webshoots]

I value the interest on my savings account, is that the same thing?

[freetobe]

And how many times would you die to defend your savings account's right to a continued, free existence?

[webshoots]

I'll be honest with you, my savings account is pretty much DOA, so it's not an entirely fair comparison.

[freetobe]

And yet, many among my brothers would say the same about your kind.

[ WOW




wow ]

[webshoots]

What happened to loving thy neighbor?

[freetobe]

Heaven and Earth are not placed in that kind of relation to one another.

[ Have fun figuring out if he truly didn't get it, or is being a little shit on purpose, Peter. ]

[webshoots]

I don't buy it.

You took a guy as a vessel.

[freetobe]

I also took female vessels. The gender hardly matters to me.

[webshoots]

[ THERE IS A DELAY. ]

What is your understanding of 'neighbor'?

[freetobe]

[ Castiel blinks at the screen. Slowly. ]

We were talking about my vessel. Is this still about the positions of Heaven, Hell and Earth within the cosmos relative to one another?

[webshoots]

I mean, people don't usually borrow things from people they're not neighborly with.

Sugar and TP are usually the top two, but bodies probably deserves an honorary mention.

[freetobe]

I have no need for sugar. I don't eat.

[ Yeah it's entirely possible that Peter has somewhat lost him. ]

[webshoots]

Okay, I get it. You guys don't practise what you preach, it's fine.

[freetobe]

We're not your neighbors. However, I will concede that I believe we were supposed to love you more than we ended up doing. The Apocalypse was never the answer. The Host has grown fanatic and resentful in Father's absence.

[ Of perhaps, blasphemous as it may be to think... perhaps He'd always intended for them to be that way.

Castiel yet refuses to believe it. He believes they were meant to be guardians and shepherds, not jailors and executioners. ]
