You know about the Horn of Gabriel? That'd draw Lucifer wherever you want him.
Maybe.
Sam and Dean requested my help in private, but I assume they told the rest of you, yes? I'd like this to go without saying that my involvement and Dorian's need to be kept quiet. I don't doubt that this is the right thing, but it could throw the general amnesty agreement into question if it's public knowledge that I helped prep a cage for someone who hasn't technically committed a crime yet.
Dorian and I are going to be helping Gabriel build a cage in the Fade and reinforce it with binding spells. I can't say how long this will take; adapting magic is difficult between realities, and though Dorian is brilliant, he's also on at least two other projects at the moment. Thankfully, I recently accepted a promotion and left prison duty, so if I can come up with a vaguely important-sounding reason to disappear, I can duck away to help without causing suspicion. I know of a cave relatively nearby where we can set up shop for it.
How you manage Lucifer in the meantime is up to you. I won't interfere if I can help it, but if you get into any public fights with him or threaten him "unprovoked", we still have to treat him as a citizen of Mt. Weather and defend him. Try to take care that he doesn't possess anyone else while he's here. The whole situation is too dubious to buy that any consent given is genuine, and letting that pain spread around can't happen.
Can someone please explain to me what we actually DO down here?
Cas ain't Cas anymore. We've been sitting on it for a few days to figure things out ourselves, but Cas is riding shotgun with Lucifer. (The real Lucifer, not Police Officer Lucifer.) Something happened, his memories updated and the rest apparently updated with him, and in the future, we fuck up so bad that Cas thinks he needs to let Lucifer in to help us.
Whatever he tells you, he's twisting the truth or he's just lying. Cas may have consented to being possessed, but it's bullshit. The consent doesn't have to be good. He could've easily been tricked into saying yes, or he thought he was saying yes to something else and Lucifer got in on technicality, or Lucifer promised he could do something he couldn't. The bastard hates humans and is one bad day away from scorching the earth. He may play nice for a while, but he'll get bored.
He needs to get out of Cas and get locked up somewhere where he can't hurt anybody. I get that you have your amnesty bullshit going on here, but this isn't some bellyaching anti-hero with daddy issues or a demon with their balls in a vice. Lucifer's been locked up for a reason, and if you don't do the same, we're fucked.
I'd tell you why I'm writing, but if you're as smart as you think you are, you probably already know.
So.
Cas, huh?
Since I haven't gotten any porn from you, I'm guessing you're still alive out there somewhere.
So... I might have just been hit by a Cupid. Or possibly something weirder, but given the timing, the fact that it was gold, and looks like an arrow, I'm going with Cupid.
Any of you seen any strange naked men flying around?
