Our Lady of Fandom, Friday night

[scruffnfeathers]

Castiel was busy ensuring that Angelbane had a nice comfortable nesty sort of thing to lounge around in, while she halfheartedly swatted at his wings. It took him a moment to figure out what the strange buzzing sound was, and by the time he located his phone, whomever was on the other end was already finished.

And left a message.

Castiel frowned. He looked down at Angelbane.

"I can think of a great many words that start with L. Even just in English."

Angelbane rolled over slowly and meowed petulantly at him.

Chuck had wandered away from the park at some point in the evening due to boredom and instead of going back to the dorms like he should have, he ended up at the church. Somehow he managed to make it all the way there barefoot too. He was not putting those heels back on again, thank you.

"Hellllllllllo?"

[scruffnfeathers]

"Chuck," said Castiel. "I can think of a great many words that start with L."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"That's awesome!" Yeah, he had forgotten about his message already. He skipped like a girl moved closer to where Castiel was, grinning like a drunk idiot. "L is a good letter."

[scruffnfeathers]

"Yes, you seemed rather fond of it in your voice message." Castiel looked down. "When I was female, you didn't approve of my barefootedness."

"I had shoes on. But some guy said I should take them off before I hurt myself," Chuck said, looking down at his feet. "I have cute toes."

[scruffnfeathers]

"I have little to compare them to. But they seem very nicely shaped."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Thank you. Maybe that guy wanted my shoes off because he likes feet." Chuck wiggled his toes once before looking up at Castiel. "A lot of guys were hitting on me but they didn't know I was really a guy so I thought it would have been mean to try anything dirty with them."

He also didn't want to get punched once he turned back into a dude.

[scruffnfeathers]

"That would seem rather unnecessarily deceitful, yes. It's too your credit that you chose not to do so."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I also didn't want to get pregnant." What? It apparently happened to him a lot in other universes.

[scruffnfeathers]

Castiel glanced down at the cat. "It does appear to be a rather . . . uncomfortable condition."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that, and you get fat." Because that was clearly the worst part of the whole thing. Chuck swayed slightly and held out his hands a little to keep his own balance. "I think I'm gonna sit down. Here. On the floor."

The floor looked comfortable.

[scruffnfeathers]

"Okay," said Castiel. "Are you quite alright?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I'm drunk," Chuck said happily. "This body can't handle it's liquor. Lightweiiiiiiiight."

[scruffnfeathers]

"You seem to be on the average- to thin side for your height, age, and sex."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"It's a metaphor. It means...it means..." Chuck had no idea what it meant at the moment. "...I'm drunk."

[scruffnfeathers]

"But you just said you're drunk. Why reiterate it?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, I just did. I can't help myself from saying things," he said. "Alcohol makes you say things that you don't want to."

[scruffnfeathers]

"Then why do people get drunk?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Because it makes you feel better," Chuck said. Spoken like a true borderline alcoholic. "You've been drunk before. Didn't you like it?"

[scruffnfeathers]

"It was . . . not disagreeable. I don't recall that level of loss of control."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Because you didn't drink enough!" Chuck declared. "There's different levels of drunk. I...am on a very high level at the moment. I've been drunk dialing. Like a desperate sorority girl."

[scruffnfeathers]

"Is that why you left me a voice message? I wasn't certain the system would work."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I left you a message?" Chuck asked. The light bulb went off in his head after a moment. "I did! I like your voicemail."

[scruffnfeathers]

"I figured out I had to speak, this time."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"You haven't really gotten a hang of the button pushing thing, I noticed." Looks like they wouldn't be texting each other any time soon.
