[ and now for something completely different, and also devoid of cake. today the community has hacked into the CCTV in a seedy storeroom somewhere. mr looks-like-a-model and mr clearly-a-moose are reprising their roles from previous glimpses into Cas's life, and Cas himself...

... well, he's. uh. he's being very enthusiastically bearhugged. by a slightly corpulent, completely stark naked man. who may be crying a bit. while the other two men present look on in extreme uncomfortable awkwardness. the community also appears to really hate Cas today because it's hacked the CCTV so that it picks up really tinny, shitty-sounding sound as the naked bearhugger babbles out some inane nonsense. ]

"Love is more than a word to me, you know? I love Love, I love it, and if that's wrong, then I don't wanna be right!"

Yes, yes. [ and Cas just. awkwardly pats the guy on the back. he is so out of his depth. ] Of course, I, uh... [ ... ah, screw it. ] I have no idea what you're saying.

[ as the love-obsessed naked guy pulls back from what has to be one of the most uncomfortable hugs in the history of everything, the footage fizzles for a minute or so before refocusing itself just in time to see Dean punch the guy square in the face. ... and get some bruised knuckles for his trouble while the guy suddenly vanishes with a look like a kicked puppy. ]

"Where is he? Where'd he go?"

I believe you upset him. [ duh. ]

"Upset him?!"

"Dean, enough. You just punched a Cupid!"

"I punched a dick!"

[ and on that salient announcement, the community's connection fitzes out for good and vanishes. ]


(( ooc: assume all answers from Cas start from about 2 hours after this post. for extra shiggles, at some point I will be rolling the RNG for the comm's Valentine's event! because yeah, guess who has other things on his mind than the community's silly cupcakes today 8| ))

Why would you punch someone who was crying already?

[loyalbound]

That moment was posted? ... never mind, of course it was. He'd stopped crying by that point, if it helps. The community appears to have missed things from its footage.

[heavenscorpse]

It still seems mean. Though I don't usually think punching people is good anyway.

[loyalbound]

Dean's parents came up as a topic of conversation. It was almost inevitable, albeit an overreaction.

[heavenscorpse]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[loyalbound]

All things considered, it could have been worse. Physically speaking, that punch did more harm to Dean than it did the Cupid.

[notasinglelady]

Why did your boyfriend punch Cupid? Poor man.

[loyalbound]

[ ... kurt. kurt wat. ]

He heard something that upset him.

... Also, Dean and I aren't together that way.

[notasinglelady]

[It's a perfect valid question!]

It wasn't because the other guy hugged you?

No?

[loyalbound]

[ yes but. where you got that from. he does not see it. ]

A Cupid's... hug, if you can call it that, is more like their handshake. I wasn't the only one.

No.

[notasinglelady]

[Kurt has a six sense.]

Are they always naked too? I imagined cupid to be younger. He hugged that dean guy too?

Why? God won't let you?

[sorry Cas, River is just giggling.]

[loyalbound]

[ file that under things that he's come to half-expect by now ]

Was it really that funny?

[descry]

Just window glimpses. The muscular realignment. It was very funny. Did you solve the mystery?

[loyalbound]

We discovered it's not the Cupid causing the problems in this town. But we're still not sure what is. I'm making some enquiries.

[reloadfromsave]

What was that?

[loyalbound]

A Cupid. Technically, a cherub, third-class. Apparently, Dean didn't see eye-to-eye with him.

[reloadfromsave]

I thought they were babies.

[loyalbound]

No, that's just a common human misconception. Taking the form of a baby would be impractical.

[reloadfromsave]

That makes sense.

...

Why was he hugging you?

[whisperingsaint]

Punching him seems excessive, but...about fifteen showers would be appropriate after being hugged by a naked man.

[loyalbound]

Why would that be necessary?

[whisperingsaint]

He was naked. You weren't...grossed out by this random naked person?

[loyalbound]

I confess I was somewhat annoyed, but not particularly.

[whisperingsaint]

Well it seems like your...um, friend? He looked more annoyed than anyone else.
