As I write this down [OPEN]

Who: Castiel, OPEN
What: Arriving in Tokyodisa~
When: July 20th, around noon
Where: The hotel lobby
Rating: Probably PG at most


Once the sky had gone dark once again Castiel had picked a random direction and re-entered the forest, unsure of where he was and which way to go... And then suddenly he was somewhere completely different. He looked around rapidly, confused, turning in place a few times; the room was completely unfamiliar and his first thought was that Metatron had transported him somewhere, but he was alone.

The room was quiet, clean and inviting but at the same time cold and impartial, and oddly he could see daylight through the window; it had been the middle of the night last he was aware. He took a minute or two to explore the room, all nerves on edge and just waiting for someone or something to appear and break the supposed tranquility, but it never came.

Once he'd figured out that he was truly alone and there was nothing overtly dangerous in the room, his next concern was whether he could get out; when he tried the door and it opened without issue it was something of a surprise, as he'd expected to be locked in. It was, at least, a welcome surprise that he wasn't. Stepping out into the hallway, he glanced back at the door to take note of which one it was, and the sight of his name on the door was also unexpected and slightly disconcerting. He obviously hadn't ended up there on accident, and he needed to figure out how and why he had, and he set off cautiously down the hall.

It became apparent quickly enough that he was in a hotel, and that set him a little more at ease, because at least hotels were something familiar to him. Still, it was surreal in a way--the entire day had been--and he wasn't quite processing everything yet, moving on autopilot, nothing having quite sunk in just yet. As Castiel wandered into the lobby his steps slowed, cautious and on edge once again while he looked for someone who might be able to tell him something about where he was.

Figuring that out was the first step to getting somewhere else.

Meg peered down at the notepad as Cas scrawled a question, then looked up to meet his expectant gaze.

"Just an hour or so maybe, I'm not sure. What about you?" She answered.

As shocked as Meg was that Cas was currently mortal, she didn't feel anything less for him. If anything, she felt immediately protective, as she had, deep down, when she had watched over him the previous year.

She read along as he wrote his answer, and was completely taken aback by the fact that they'd arrived almost simultaneously. She'd always believed in destiny - that was the point of everything she had lived for for most of her existence. And that part of her couldn't ignore the fact that, once again, she had crossed paths with this fallen soldier of heaven. Her counterpart.

"I passed by a door with my name on it on the third floor, but I didn't bother to go inside. I kind of just wanted to get out of here." Meg lowered her voice. "Don't get me wrong, it's better than hell... but this place makes me uneasy."

"Not yet. Just walked around and had some... interesting... conversations. But I was headed that way, if you want to join."

Meg nods her head towards the door and raises an eyebrow.

Meg was already missing their usual banter, but there was something to be said for the strong, silent type. She turned and slipped her left arm through his right, giving him a small, encouraging smile.

Meg felt him press into her and couldn't help biting her lip slightly at the memory of their steamy encounter. She enjoyed the warmth of the steady contact as they walked silently for a while, just taking in the sights of the bustling streets. Tokyo was somewhere she'd actually never been before, and all the different sights and sounds and smells caught her attention. Meg never needed to eat, but the hell if she was going to pass up on fresh sushi while she was in Japan.

She sensed that Cas just wanted to walk for a while, so she waited a considerable amount of time (for Meg, at least) before saying anything.

She gently squeezed his arm, as if to remind him that she was still there. "I'll make this easy and just ask you simple questions," she said. "Just nod yes or no. Are you... you? Mentally, I mean. Last time I saw you, you were a bit of a hot mess."

Meg stopped short when Cas did, and nodded back, a smile creeping over her lips. "No more crazytown, huh? How's your memory?" She looked down and smoothed her free hand over the cuff of his trenchcoat.

Meg gave him her best come-on-you-know-what-I'm-talking-about look, but humored him - always so stubbornly literal.

"In respect to me, dummy. You didn't think I actually cared about anything else, I'm sure." She punctuated the joke with a gentle elbow nudge.

Meg smiled. She didn't want to push too far since he'd clearly been through quite an ordeal, but she got the sense he was enjoying himself and that a little flirtation wouldn't be unwelcome.

"Everything, huh?" She asked, with a come-hither face that she'd bet even an angel couldn't say no to.

Meg never quite knew what to make of Castiel, but she supposed that was intrigued her so much. She could tell that at the moment, the small gesture of affection was a great effort for him, and appreciated it accordingly. She even felt her meatsuit blush a tiny bit.

She laced her fingers through his and resumed their silent stroll, lightly resting her head against his shoulder, letting him set the pace.

"You just about read my mind, Clarence. I can't pass up on fresh sushi in Japan, and you actually need to eat now. Come on," she tugged at his hand and walked towards an empty table on the patio.

Through a series of hand gestures and pointing at pictures on the menu, Meg managed to order a spread of different sushi as well as some teriyaki beef and rice in case the raw fish was a bit much for Cas' new palette.

It had been quite a while since Meg had indulged in a meal, or really done anything quite so nice. Present company certainly didn't hurt either. She sighed contentedly and leaned in, catching Castiel's far off gaze.

"I got us a little bit of everything so you can test out different flavors. Not a bad choice for your first meal as a human... but promise me we can get pizza next time? Can't put my finger on why, but I'm just dying for a slice."

Meg watched Cas carefully. She never really cared about anything, but she was starting to - worry? Yeah. Probably that - about him. Being human wasn't the worst thing imaginable, but the adjustment was going to be rough. Couldn't this guy catch a break? She kept her ear to the ground pretty regularly and was always at least vaguely aware of big cosmic events, and he had certainly had a bad run of luck getting caught right in the middle of them.

At least she had gotten a little smile out of him. She had a feeling those were going to be few and far between for a while, but she liked the idea of sticking around to help with that.

A few moments later the waitress re-emerged with a large tray, and Meg smirked as she watched Cas seemingly marvel over the taste of water. If he thought that was good, he sure was in for a treat.

Cas looked slightly bewildered at all the choices in front of him, so Meg explained each dish, warned him to go easy on the wasabi, and served up plates for both of them. She couldn't help laughing as she tried to teach him how to use chopsticks.

The first bite of tempura was crunchy, delicious goodness. Meg closed her eyes and made a satisfied little noise, thinking she really ought to do this more often.

Meg could all but see the wheels turning in Cas' head. His inquisitive blue eyes kept flicking back to meet hers as they ate in silence, and she'd be lying if she said it wasn't doing things for her, but the hint of sadness when he looked at her was... unsettling. He seemed to be enjoying himself, but it was noticeable. She wanted to chalk it up to the considerable loss he'd just sustained, but the tiniest sensation of self-consciousness gave her the gut feeling that it had something to do with her.

She stared at him, took another bite of sashimi, then licked a drop of soy sauce from her thumb. Resisting curiosity had never been a personal strength of hers.

"Why so blue, Clarence? Besides the obvious. What's up with you?"
