[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.

[And for once, Raven will be answering a question from Raphael. Doesn't it feel like Christmas? ...There's most likely another reason than the Archangel's benefit for her to be doing that.]

What exactly do you want to know about him? And why?

Raven, you are friends with Castiel.

[It's not a question.]

You should be deeply invested in this question.

We need to know exactly what he is capable of.

[ooc: this is reasonable for her to know, right? I can't remember what all she's said to Raphael in their past conversations, and what's been viewable to the public ;_; ]

[Raven blinks and quirks a quizzical eyebrow.] What does my friendship with Castiel have to do with this?

[Her eyes narrow.] Did he do something to him? [And if he did then why is it Raphael asking this and not Castiel himself or Rei? ...Just wait for the shock on her face as realization dawns on her.] Where's your necklace?

[[ooc: I'm totally okay with her knowing this. She could have found out during the fail!filter event. And Lucifer and Gabriel know of her friendship with Castiel too. So yeah, that's totally reasonable for her to know. ;)]]

That would be the question of the day.

[[HURRRR derp um. I forgot to edit the filter before you replied, I was gonna make it not viewable to Cas.]]

[Raphael's answer is pretty clear at least.]

You swapped bodies with Tom and he took it.

[Raven ponders this a moment.] It'd be hazardous to attack him. He might destroy Castiel's Grace if he feels threatened.

[Another pause.] I doubt he's interested in keeping it, though. Do you have something he might want in exchange?

[[ooc: Let's assume you did. Raven'll tell Castiel about whatever he won't see anyway... Except if Raphael finds a very good reason to convince her otherwise.]]

I have his wand.

However, I have very good reasons for suspecting he intends to weaponize or somehow pervert it for his own uses. His attempt to convince Castiel to trade it for the wand failed. [A small, dark smirk.] Tom miscalculated.

[Straightening again.] What do you know of his capabilities?

[His wand? Oh. But the next part sounds much more intriguing.]

Castiel refused? ...Why?

[Raven pauses.] If I help you and you manage to take the necklace back, will you give his Grace back to Castiel?

No.

[Welp, she's honest.]

He will get it back when I see fit. [Which, let's be honest, is more progress than she's shown yet.] Tom will mutilate it. I am certain. He is a twisted creature.

[Raven frowns when Raphael avoids answering her first question. But that's alright, she'll just ask Castiel about that. Her frown deepens at her answer to her second question, though.]

He's not the one who killed you. He didn't deserve to be ripped off his Grace.

[Raven doesn't object to anything Raphael says about Tom. He is a twisted creature and it's even an understatement.] Fine. Ask me exactly what you want to know about Tom's abilities. If I know the answer, I'll give it to you.

He killed me, and helped to send the most important person in my extremely long life falling into Hell.

[That conversation is over.]

I switched bodies with him. I could tell that he has a great deal of natural power. Do you know about his fighting style? His magical habits? Can he attack the spirit, or simply the body?

Offensive spells. And I've heard he's able of wandless magic.

Both.

[Mmmf. Not the answers she wanted, but the answers she expected.]

Then I know what to prepare for.

I don't think you do. Unless you've already have a wizard from that world cast one of those spells at you. And even so, he's one of the most powerful of his world.

[She's being helpful. Because for once, you're the lesser evil.]

Take it back. ...Please.

Tom Riddle will regret ever laying hands on what is ours.

If it is damaged or tampered with in any way, I assure you he will pay in blood for the indecency.

[And this would never have happened had Raphael not ripped Castiel from his Grace in the first place. Those words are on the tip of her tongue but Raven knows better than to let them out. Because this is Raphael and because it would gain nothing. The three remaining archangels are Castiel's best chance to get his Grace back in one piece. So again, she just nods.]

Don't underestimate him. It might be wise not to come at him alone too. ...Pretty sure your brothers take this as much to heart as you do.
