Dear fellow wayward orphans,

         I joined this group in May 2013, at the invite of the warm, enthusiastic darling that is Christina (Sookie/Peter). So it's almost been a year. Wow. At the time that I joined, I'd been going through some toxic, work-related legal and mental issues, but this group here... It's not a stretch to say that you guys have helped me plow through.

         Now, I know I haven't spoken with some of you, or not that often at least, but I kinda lurk. I read your threads, so I know you guys can be nice, cool, fluffy, sexy, badass sons-of-bitches and angst-buckets - with unique and inspiring writing, and darkly beautiful personality... You're all that and more.

         Thank you. For being here. For bringing this apocalyptic world color. For bravely sharing your special take on your character(s) even if you might secretly fear you're being OOC or whatever. For reminding me through your multi-paragraphs and metaphors and even snippets of real life sometimes that there's more to life than just dealing with the hand you're dealt with. You guys come up with really creative stuff and that is freaking encouraging.

         And if you don't believe that just message me and a certain blue-eyed angel will come shove you into a brick wall a few times or a red-eyed demon will stab you with a spiky clue-stick that sometimes glows, and I will go into detail about how I finally filed papers against my boss, got out of an awful work environment that I was too scared of leaving, took a longass soul-searching sabbatical — Gishwhes with Sydney (Anna/Nate) helped too — and finally found a new direction. And maybe a promising career change as well...

         Anyway, as I understand it, this blog, along with its ooc blog and chat, will remain accessible to those who want to keep RPing and or stay in contact with one another, so I just want you guys to know that I'll stick around. I'll be happy to continue existing threads, start new ones, or just to chat. There's also indieDemon!Cas that I hardly ever got around to playing with, too.

Love, Nova (Crowley/Castiel)

Day 17 What's your character's desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy?

"When I was a soldier, I worked wherever the host sent me, so all of Father's creation could - in some way - become my workspace... As long as I did not over-extend my grace, I could move through multiple dimensions of time and space...

"It came with being a multidimensional wavelength myself. Upon receiving revelation, I would move to expend my grace, carry out what I believed to be God's work, and then go about replenishing said grace. Rinse and repeat.

"I'd like to think I was as neat or messy as was... required. Now, it's good enough to me to be relatively clean, if not still pure, but... The thing is, I... made a mess of so many things. I tried to enforce order upon the world, to neaten it, when I proclaimed myself the new God.

"It's not about cleaning up messes so much as it is about doing what is right... At least, that's what humanity is teaching me."

Day 16 Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides the immediate ones? Cousins, Uncles, Grandfathers, Aunts, et cetera. Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative?

"I'm an angel. All angels are, I suppose... siblings, but we are not related by blood.

"Technically, we don't have blood at all unless we are granted permission by a living human to use their body as a vessel. Once we take over, that vessel becomes imbued with our grace. If the two are incompatible, the human will eventually... break down, their body unable to contain the angel any longer.

"Compatibility is determined through what might be considered 'angelic bloodlines,' which can be traced back to the first humans... Jimmy Novak, for example, is of my bloodline. That is to say, under normal circumstances, no harm will come to his body in containing my grace.

"Were another angel to possess him...

"...I don't have blood relatives. In terms of cousins, uncles... relatives though, I do consider Anna my closest elder sister. All those in my garrison, I consider my 'immediate' family: Rachel, Balthazar, Hester, Inias... Even Uriel, who was an assbutt.

"The archangels are... bigger assbutt brothers I sometimes wish I never had... And the rest of the angels, outside of the garrison, are more akin to distant relatives. Almost strangers.

"We all know of one another, but... I can... barely tell one cupid apart from the next."

Day 15 Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl?

"These terms... I have come across them before. But what type of bird is an 'early morning bird...' Or is a 'night owl' not a bird at all? Human terms can be so confusing."

ooc: baby bird doesn't need to sleep when he's all graced-up; when he's human he doesn't know when to stop so he just sleeps whenever he gets dead tired.

Day 14 How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold?

"As an angel, I note the differences, but temperature changes don't affect me greatly. I feel them as energy filtered through the barrier that is my vessel and into my true form, which has its own changeable temperature that's based on how I use my grace... 

"I do however react more strongly towards temperature changes when I am... out of juice.

"The trench coat is ridiculously warm at times, but otherwise a very good thing to have when it is cold... and dark... and wet..."

Day 13 What does your character's bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep?

"Um...

"Sleep is difficult. I feel I should be familiar with it by now, with no shortage of dreams - mostly nightmares - that form when I inevitably fall asleep. But it's still... disconcerting to lose sense of time and consciousness. To wake up cold and wonder why the blankets have gone down past my waist. Or where I am. What time of day...

"When I wake up on a bed, the wrinkled sheets usually suggests that I have slept uncomfortably. The covers would often be kicked down when I am unaware, and I my head may not actually stay on the pillow.

"However, I tend to curl up in my trench coat and pull it up close. I suspect that if I only use it as a blanket without wearing it, it would be kicked down though. The coat is also especially useful when I end up sleeping without a bed."

Day 12 How is your character with technology? Super savvy, or way behind the times? Letters or email?

"I think I had only managed to grow familiar with my cellphone before the global telecommunications network shut down."
