[Locked from Tom Riddle/Unhackable]
[Raphael, even from the first frame of the video, is clearly not a happy camper. There's too much tension around her mouth, her jaw gritted too tightly, like she's one annoyance away from punching somebody.]
Adstringendum, I have a question for you. [Deadly serious, even compared to normal.] What do you know about Tom Riddle?
[Locked to the angels/unhackable]
[Her demeanor changes further- tense, the annoyance erupting into obvious murderous anger that she doesn't even bother trying to hide.]
Hello, brothers. My first encounter with this event was on Sunday morning, when I was switched with Tom Riddle.
[The kids watching at home might notice a distinct lack of a chain around her neck, meaning a distinct lack of Castiel's Grace. She shifts her shoulders like an angry cat and continues.]
He has taken Castiel's Grace and, with it, made a declaration of war. He saw fit to inform me that any attempt to take back what is not his would serve as such. [Lip curling slightly.] He called it our only warning. Evidently the city needs to be freed of us.
I do not know much about him, only that he is extremely dangerous and twisted. His soul did not feel intact. I have full confidence that he will do something disgusting to it- weaponize it, most likely.

angels and rei~;
If you want Castiel's Grace in any condition but mutilated and used as a prop in his magic, then I suggest you not obstruct us.
angels and rei~;
[Viciously.]
Don't you dare use his Grace as a bargaining chip with me when all of this is your fault. No one would be in this position if you and Lucifer and Michael had kept your hands to yourselves, idiot. And who's going to pay the price for all of this if it is mutilated? Because it sure as hell isn't going to be you.
And trust me, if his Grace is in any condition past what it was in when you took it, you're going to have a much larger problem on your hands than Tom Riddle.
angels and rei~;
You aren't helping, Rei. Now, you can either tell us something useful, or hang up and make sure Castiel doesn't do anything dangerous.
angels and rei~;
[Viciously.]
Like how I'm going to seal your mouth shut for the rest of eternity with fire if you act like Castiel is a four year old who needs guarding ever again.
This is just as much your fault as it is Raphael's. Don't rush in the caring older brother when you had just as much a hand in this as she did.
The same warning goes to you as her -- if that vial of Grace is mutilated, in any way, I am going to make you pay for it.
angels and rei~;
You forgot to include anything actually useful. Keep Castiel safe, because right now he's mortal and you're a soldier who claims to care what happens to him.
[And for once, he hangs up on her.]
no subject
But she definitely punches the wall.
Because you are not, and you will never be, her commanding officer, you disgusting sack of shit.
And if Castiel wants to go get his grace back, for himself, and on his own terms, then Rei is going to help him to it.]
angels and rei~;
His Grace will be in the condition it was before. I will make sure of it, but not out of obligation to a mouthy maggot.
angels and rei~;
[Rei's banter and insults are usually just that -- banter and insults. But there is something different, this time -- her eyes are cold, her jaw is set, and she is deadly serious.
If that vial of Grace is in any way less than perfect, Rei will make Lucifer and Raphael pay for it, with ever fiber of power that she has.]
angels and rei~;
Keep him safe. If this effort proves for nothing I will carve it out of your hide.
[And, in true big brother/big sister fashion, she hangs the fuck up on Rei, too.]
