[Look who finally figured out that maybe he should make himself known. It was probably Elsa or a nudge from the Ringmaster that got him going that he needed to start gathering some people for his work. Good thing he had worked with cellphones before, enough to grasp the idea of the device.]

For those unaware, I am not Jimmy Novak. He is my vessel, but I am not him and he is not me. It's difficult to explain and even more for others to understand but please don't throw yourself at me for a hug or ask that I bring you food. I am an angel, and those of demonic origins can find my presence unsettling or painful. I would like to avoid anyone being hurt or frightened if they try to embrace me thinking that I am Jimmy.

[There's an exasperated murmur in the background, probably someone keeping Cas on track or reminding him that not everyone knows who he is.]

Nametags? Why would I wear a nametag? What is a nametag? [More murmurs and Cas finally speaks into the device again instead of to the other person.]

Oh, yes, I am Castiel. While I have been with the Carnival for some time, I have rarely been with all of you. It was better that I be out in the world getting the things we needed. I have been promoted to the Acquisitioner position. I am in need of others to fill out the roles of helping me gain what the Carnival needs. I would also like to have lists of what is needed from the other Supervisors or people within the Carnival. I don't think the note I got that everyone needs a fluffy kitten is a legitimate request. Nor is fifty percent less material on performance costumes. That would be something to request from your own Supervisor or the Ringmaster herself.

Hehhhh...so it'd be like if Aslla was here from when he had my body all to himself...

Except instead of demons it's angels for you!!

WOAH!!!

[cellphoneangel]

I'm not sure I understand the reference, but you could be right.

[insidescoop]

Oh!

Well, before we ended up in the Netherworld, Aslla Piscu was able to just take over whenever he wanted! I couldn't do anything about it, so if he was there, it was like I wasn't there at all!

But well, it was still my body, and sort of my voice, except for how he carried himself...

So you and the other guy being here would be like if I was here at the same time Aslla was here while possessing my body!

[Does this make the reference make sense?? Probably Not]

[cellphoneangel]

Demons can and do often do that. The human within is pushed to the side while the demon controls everything. We angels do the same although we ask for and have to be given permission first. Demons simply take.

Yes, that would be it. I am glad to see him restored though.

[He thinks, at least, if this 'Netherworld' is like Hell. He's never heard of a demon named Aslla Piscu, but some demons do like strange names.]

[insidescoop]

W-Well, technically, Aslla Piscu had to ask me to make a deal before he could do it too, so...

That's sort of like asking permission?

[To be fair, while the Nether is definitely Hell, Aslla Piscu is technically just as much 'god' as he is 'demon'.]

[cellphoneangel]

Demons often work through deals. Souls have to be gained by them in some manner other than just sinning.

Contracts with demons take advantage of the free will humans have. If you believe that's the same, then it could be.

[An angel saying they're anything like a demon is never ever going to happen, so Castiel is settling for evasiveness instead of calling out what he sees as an abomination. It's the kindest he can be with his limited understanding.]

[insidescoop]

Hehhhhh so that's how it works...

Well, either way, we're just talking about seeing the same face here!!

[cellphoneangel]

Yes, we are. I don't mind the mistaken identity, but if the other is a dark spirit, demon or any other kind of being that reacts badly to a holy presence...

I thought it was best to offer a warning.

[insidescoop]

Oh!!

That's really thoughtful~ ...I don't know if it does anything to me, but it's nice to not learn the hard way...!
