[ they don't really do the family group chat thing often. not without dire straits or gabriel committing an atrocity against celine dion. but sometimes. sometimes spooky shenanigans occur and you hallucinate silly little terrible things in passing reflective surface. and you hear silly little whispers of a voice you'd condemned to the darkest recess of repressed memories.
it's a bad time when michael and satan are your sanity check meters. ]
Neither of you have recently seen or heard... Chuck. Have you?
[ in appreciation that it would be entirely possible for their father to arrive in this world and immediately scramble any one of their brains for shits and giggles. he'll accept the dysfunctional family bullshit for the sake of verification. ]
[Of all the people who could contact him this way, Castiel is not the one he's the least interested in hearing from. That's not much of a compliment though: of the three of them, there's only one he half-likes.
Ignoring the message would be easy and not out of character, but he answers for the same reason Castiel was willing to reach out in the first place. Flock calls. Call and answer, just to see who else is still out there.]
If one of us were to say yes, would you have any solution to offer?
[ no one likes a family meeting, but sometimes you just have to check in. dad showing up in their secret pocket universe will spoil the fun for exactly all of them, so there's a mutual interest somewhere in there. ]
We did happen on a reasonably effective binding spell in the pit.
[ that cas and some hallucinating, mushroom-brained friends broke, after being ritually flesh-melted and licking some statues. shut up. ]
One that you think would be capable of holding our Father?
[No one on the continent cares for Chuck, but respect where it's due. Their father isn't a threat to be treated lightly; Chuck is very much a being you shoot once because you won't get a second chance. The power of the Singularity and the local pagan gods trump even Michael, but there's god and then there's God.]
A spell I'd be absolutely confident could hold him doesn't exist.
[ Besides Jack, the only thing he's ever met with more power than God is perhaps the Singularity, and that's debatable. It's able to toy with archangels, and one would assume, if Chuck were brought here, that might mean the Singularity can manipulate even him. But there's no knowing for certain. There can't be. ]
Formidable as the Singularity is, do you imagine it could overpower him?
[As catastrophic as Chuck overpowering the Singularity would be, even a version of their Father leashed by it would still be dangerous. It's best if Chuck never makes his way here. Michael never wants to see him again.
(That's a lie. He'd like to see his Father again, but not as He was. Michael longs for the Father he thought he had—the one with a Plan, the one who cared about His creations.)]
Since you're asking—you've seen him?
[Odd to reach out about this particular topic at this particular moment. Michael can only think of one reason why he would.]
a secret is that he truly misses gabriel's committing atrocities against celine dion]
It's not him. I've seen something like this before, when I first arrived here. [It's not the same but boy is he trying to convince himself that it is.] It's not him. I refuse.
[ we all truly miss gabriel's atrocities against celine dion. rip in peace, sweet prince. ]
But you have seen something.
[ fuckery like this isn't out of the realm of expectation, but neither is a legitimate visit from dad in his highest OP asshole era, so. we tread lightly all the same. ]
