"I've never tried anything besides the 'human made stuff' although given what it did to you, that may not necessarily be a bad thing." Castiel lays back on the bed as well.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Hey, it took a lot to get me there. I don't usually drink that much. If nothing else, because it makes it really hard to pretend to be just another demi-god at social crap if I'm smashed."

[beees]

"I imagine that's true. In vino veritas." In wine there's truth. Castiel nods. "Plus, even if you didn't out yourself, so to speak, I'm sure there would likely be awkward rumours about how Loki cannot hold his liquor."

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel snorts. "I can hold more than everybody else. So it'd be more about how it takes several more bottles for me to become useless."

[beees]

"Somehow, I'm not surprised. Is there anyone you can't out drink?" He's curious, but he has his doubts there is anyone who can drink an Archangel under the table. With perhaps a few exceptions that he'd rather not give too much close consideration to.

[lotsoflaughs]

"I'm pretty sure that if I tried for a drinking contest with our oldest two brothers, they'd win. You know, assuming we could get either of them to bother." He tilts his head slightly in thought. "Well, I might have been able to coax Lucifer into humoring me."

Gabriel probably brought up the ones Castiel was trying not to think too much about.

[beees]

Yup. Those would be the ones. Castiel contemplates drunk Michael and drunk Lucifer, and makes a face. "I don't think a drinking contest with either one would be very enjoyable for anyone." Although he might be a little biased.

[lotsoflaughs]

"They'd probably be cranky drunks, yeah," Gabriel agrees. "Particularly Michael."

Given that he's been on the wrong side of their tempers, it's easy to see how he would be.

[beees]

"I imagine Michael would be a very cranky drunk, yes," Castiel nods. Although under the right circumstances, he's not entirely pleasant either.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Assuming one or two other things that comes to mind that he probably wouldn't let you live to tell others about doesn't happen instead." He can't imagine that Michael would want to risk Castiel telling anyone about him spending time wailing about their Father abandoning them if he went for depressed drunk instead of angry drunk.

[beees]

"I don't think anyone who stumbled across Michael drunk would live to tell the tale regardless of the circumstances." Except for the other Archangels, of course.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel snorts. "If he's blotto enough that powers don't work right, whoever finds him might have time to go hide somewhere before he sobers up."

[beees]

"I suppose that's true. Then they'd simply have to worry about him tracking them down after the fact."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Might take him longer to find them if the angel in question gets over the obsession with this planet and goes to the opposite end of the universe."

[beees]

"I don't have an obsession with this planet." Even if he would shatter every rule in the book, and no doubt some unwritten ones as well, to save it.

[lotsoflaughs]

"I wasn't singling you out, bro. No need to get defensive," he says, looking over at Castiel with a raised eyebrow.

[beees]

"I'm not being defensive." Well, not intentionally, at least. "Anyway, drunk or sober, if Michael ever gets out of the Cage, it would probably be a good idea for me to stay away from him regardless."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Given that he'd want to take his own turn at killing you, yeah." Not even just for the molotov incident. Gabriel's betting that he's not too pleased about Castiel helping out the Winchesters with foiling his plans.

[beees]

"Yes, most likely." Between the molotov incident, helping the Winchesters, and all of the things he's done since, Castiel is positive nothing good could ever come from Michael being released from the Cage.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel has the feeling that by now, Michael's heard enough from Lucifer that his ass would also be grass if he ever got out. So best for everybody if he stayed put.

He hums for a moment as he looks at the ceiling. "You about ready for me to let you get back to anything you might have been doing besides text me before I showed up?"

[beees]

"Well, I wasn't really doing anything that can't wait, but if you need to go, then go. I'm fine. You don't needto stay on my account." Castiel sits back up, watching his big brother. "But, Gabriel, if you decide you'd like to talk about whatever is bothering you enough that you got that drunk last night... You know I would do whatever I could to help, right?"

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel smiles thinly. "I don't think there's anything you can or should do. Thanks for the offer though."

[beees]

"All right. Well, you know where to find me, regardless," Castiel nods, with a slight smile. "Most of the time, at least."

[lotsoflaughs]

"When you're not hiding from potentially incoming noogies or the like?" Gabriel ribs Castiel as he sits up.

[beees]

"Exactly." He figures if he ever learns to consistently keep Gabriel from figuring out where he is, he'll be able to hide from just about anything else he might honestly need to.
