Where are you? I hear fireworks and you've gone missing. I'm sure that is no coincidence.

[wayward_angel]

I'm not missing. I'm right here.

[tryingitall]

Cas. That wasn't meant for you, sorry.

Wait, when did you get a cell phone?

[wayward_angel]

After I made the boys invisible to angels.

How did you get this number?

[tryingitall]

Presumably you gave it to me. Or one of my vast network of spies wrested it from your wary grasp?

Or possibly I just stole one of the boys' phones when they weren't looking.

[wayward_angel]

I see. It's not a bad way to reach me. Did you need me for something?

[tryingitall]

No, there was a girl I was trying to reach. A 'Cassie', interestingly enough. Short for Cassandra? Not sure. Anyway, wrong name.

Since I have you, though, do you want to hear a joke?

Possibly he's a little drunk...

[wayward_angel]

There's a long pause, as Cas wonders a little over Balthazar's current mental state, and how to respond with honesty.

If I say no are you going to tell me anyway?

[tryingitall]

Yes, absolutely. It's a matter of whether you prefer to continue through text or to have me pop in on you in person, and you may not want to know what I'm wearing right now.

[wayward_angel]

I would prefer to view your joke over text.

Well that was a much quicker reply.

[tryingitall]

Very wise.

Right, so an angel walks into a bar and asks the bartender how much he charges for a gin and tonic. And the bartender says to himself, 'This guy's probably never been to earth before, he doesn't know the monetary system. I can double my prices and he'll never know.'

So he says, "That'll be $15.00."

The angel thinks about it a moment and says, "How much for a beer?"

"$10.50."

"I'll have that."

So the bartender gets him a beer, and he pays and has a drink. The bartender watches him a minute and says, "You know, I've never had an angel in here before."

The angel says: "With prices like these, it's no wonder!"

There's a long pause.

...

...

And then he smites him.

[wayward_angel]

There's an even longer pause at the other end. but Balthazar can probably picture the expression of bewilderment. Castiel has never, ever, in more millennia than humans can reckon for, been good at jokes.

Are you done?

[tryingitall]

Yes, and I'm going to pretend you laughed, since I can't see otherwise.

[wayward_angel]

Okay.

Was the last part important?

He can't help trying to dissect the joke, despite himself.

[tryingitall]

Not especially. You see, part of humor is surprise. The story came to a logical conclusion, and then I threw that bit in to startle you.

[wayward_angel]

Usually when I am surprised, it isn't funny.

[tryingitall]

Hm. Well, did you find that one amusing at all?

[wayward_angel]

I liked the first punchline better.

[tryingitall]

Really? I'll keep that in mind next time.

Apparently you're not much for amphibian-based puns, either...

[wayward_angel]

Some things are just funnier in Enochian?

[tryingitall]

Agreed!

Ah. And I seem to have found the girl I was looking for. No fireworks involved at all. Yet. Shall I call you later?

[wayward_angel]

Yes. Later.

He really doesn't want to know anything else about Balthazar's plans for the evening.
