[At the man saying 'knock knock' right after she'd already answered the door, Irene raises an eyebrow curiously. What is this? After a long pause she smiles.]

Macbeth, is it?
[She makes her voice a bit deeper] 'Who's there, i' th' name of Beelzebub?'

I guess it would be closer to acting, since it isn't my intention to deceive anyone.

But if the audience understands that I'm acting, won't they still know that I might not find the joke amusing?

missthewoman May 23 2011, 04:15:33 UTC

Depends how good an actor you are!

deansangel918 May 23 2011, 04:38:50 UTC

This seems like a lot of trouble for a job I didn't want in the first place.

missthewoman May 23 2011, 04:44:36 UTC

Perhaps so, but you should make the best of it. Why, if it gets you to practice smiling, it's expanding your life skills!

deansangel918 May 23 2011, 04:57:14 UTC

Why is smiling so important?

missthewoman May 23 2011, 05:12:17 UTC

[*blink*]

Might as well ask why breathing is so important, dear. Is it not an important way in which we relate with each other?

deansangel918 May 23 2011, 05:17:33 UTC

Breathing is necessary for your bodies to function. As far as I know, smiling is not required.

missthewoman May 23 2011, 05:30:30 UTC

[*blink blink* 'Not required?']

It is a natural expression of how you are feeling. Do you mean to tell me that you never feel happy?

deansangel918 May 23 2011, 05:37:07 UTC

I said that I don't often smile, not that I never had.

[He decides to explain ...which will probably not help.]

In my true form I don't use facial expressions to convey my feelings. I've been in this form for several years now, but sometimes the nuances of human behavior still confuse me.

missthewoman May 23 2011, 05:48:43 UTC

[Give her a moment as she runs that through her mind a couple times. (Okay, maybe three.)]

Smiling is hardly a 'nuance'.

[Well, let's have it then. With a slight curtsey she introduces herself.]

Apologies for the late introduction. Irene Adler, human, singer. A pleasure to meet you.

[She raises an eyebrow. Your turn.]

deansangel918 May 23 2011, 05:54:43 UTC

[He inclines his head in acknowledgment of her somewhat formal introduction.]

My name is Castiel. I'm an Angel of the Lord.

missthewoman May 23 2011, 06:25:13 UTC

[Are you now? Seriously? ...No, of course he's serious - it would indeed be quite against an angel's character to lie. Hence the dislike for deception.
She can't help a quick, suspicious look behind him - no wings?

...For a moment, she doesn't quite know what to say. Then, she grins.]

I wonder if I might convince you to come sing in the chorus, Mister Castiel.

deansangel918 May 23 2011, 06:33:35 UTC

[He knows exactly what that look was about. Everyone asks the same thing, might as well get it out of the way.]

Yes, I have wings. No, humans can't see them. No, I do not have a halo.

As for singing...that was never my position in the Heavenly Host. I was a soldier.

missthewoman May 23 2011, 06:58:42 UTC

Forgive me for being so indiscreet. [But it's certainly not every day one meets an angel, even on this insane ship in the stars.

So, a soldier. Yet certainly not all soldiers are so humourless.]

And did the soldiers not have battle hymns?

deansangel918 May 23 2011, 07:06:27 UTC

Everyone asks about my wings. I'm used to it.

[Battle hymns? An interesting question.]

We did not. At least, my garrison did not.
