[party post] come sail away with me

[varymydays]

You've come through a door, and you are on a boat. Specifically, you're on a cruise ship in the middle of some giant body of water. You've come through the door behind you which is attached to nothing and may now be locked. It's relatively empty as giant as it appears to be. The only other passengers that are here appear to also have come through the door for the most part and it is not nearly enough to fill up this entire cruise ship.

Also, who knows who the hell is driving this thing since all of the employees appear to be either ghosts or holograms...

Is this your first time here or your hundredth time here? Do you want a drink or a dip in the pool? Is it day or night? Do you stumble on your room or some other situation either fun or painful within its many rooms, shops, and facilities? Do you run into someone you know or a complete stranger?

The possibilities are unlimited!

Look out, Cassie, you're about to be puppy-tackled.

Castiel and Jo had gone through the rift together, intending to continue on together. Saying goodbye to all of his friends in Chicago is one of the hardest things he ever had to do, but in the end it was the right thing. He began in Chicago with Jo, he felt it was only right it should end there too.

However this ship is not where he expected to land, and he has yet to find Jo, but Gabriel is at his side - up until the moment that he isn't. He catches the scent of something and goes bounding after it too quickly for Castiel to stop him. He huffs, annoyed, before quickly disappearing from view.

Gabriel comes first, bounding down the deck and barking excitedly, coming to a bouncy stop when he finds Cassie. He pushes up on his paws, spinning in circles, just is generally the most excited adorable dog in the universe because he did it, he found her, he found her.

The flutter of wings comes soon after and if she was looking behind her at the moment, she could see that he was smiling.

"Hello, Cassie."

sob im sorry this is so late

[ohstarryeyed]

At first, Cassie doesn't register the sound of a dog barking in the near distance, the roar of the ocean below and the crashing of Chicago rings in her ears and leaves her with little room for anything else. With a shaking hand, she wipes at her face, the tear tracks marking lines through the dust on her face. She doesn't know where she is, she doesn't know where Aaron is and--- why does that dog sound so familiar?

She turns her head just in time to find a very familiar puppy coming to a quick stop beside her and bonding and spinning with excitement. She stares for a few seconds, mouth hung open in shock. She knows this puppy, she knows him very well.

"Gabriel?"

And then that achingly familiar flutter of wings, the blur of trench coat in the corner of her eye. Her heart skips in her chest and she suddenly feel like she can't breathe. She almost doesn't want to turn round in case it's not real, that she's imagining it, that it's just a cruel trick.

She doesn't want it to be a trick.

Moving her head, she looks round and up - a fresh bout of tears forming in her eyes. It's him, he's there and there's that smile. She lets out a breath, feeling it catch in her throat and she gives a little shudder of relief. "Cas."

She scrambles to her feet, stumbles toward him and quickly wraps her arms around him and buries her face into his trench coat without another word. She's still for a few moments before she utters a small sob. "You're here, Cas."

[toomuchheart]

His arms come around her easily - one of the few people in all the worlds he can hug with ease. It's hard to know what to do with hugs, when all is said and done, but here, he knows exactly what's needed. He slips his arms around her, pulling her tightly to him, and letting her hold on for as long as she wants.

"It is good to see you again."

Which is an understatement, considering he thought he never would. When all is said and done, it's good to have his best friend back.

[ohstarryeyed]

Cassie knows Castiel has found it hard with human interactions. She tries to teach him things when she can, but she feels that his hugs are something that she doesn't care about if they ever change - they're perfect. They're the best hugs. And each and every one of them she's grateful for.

She lets out a sound that's a mix of a sob and a laugh. "I never thought I'd be able to see you again," she mumbles into his trench coat. "And you're here."

She's quiet for a while, because she can't still take it all in. Chicago is gone, she's somewhere else, Cas is here and she's lost--

Aaron isn't here.

She stiffens, her breath hitching in her throat. Oh, god, what does she do?

[toomuchheart]

He can catch the hitch of her breath, and he's been around enough humans to know that it isn't a good one. He pulls back, just slightly so that he can look down at her and frowns.

"Is there something wrong?"

[ohstarryeyed]

Cassie takes a long time to answer, she can feel a panic rise in her chest. Aaron isn't here. They were supposed to leave together, start anew, try to change this and maybe... just maybe, they could've been friends.

But her Guardian... he could be anywhere. Worlds away, and Cassie doesn't know what that'll mean, for him, for their bond.

"I've lost my Guardian." she says, worry sinking in her face when she looks up at him. She doesn't even know if Cas found out about Aaron, she barely had time to process it herself with it being so close to the end of days. "He should be here with me. I think the Rift took him away."

This is really bad.

[toomuchheart]

That is very bad. Castiel met a few guardians in Chicago, and while he doesn't understand how the bond works completely, he knows enough to know that being separated from your ward is not a pleasant experience. He nods, acknowledging her concern, before glancing to the rest of the boat.

"Perhaps this place functions differently than Chicago did."
