[Castiel really isn't used to having this much free time.

In his world, he spent most of his existence following orders. After that, his life had consisted almost entirely of running or fighting--or both--but since arriving in the Castle there's pretty much only been peace. That had been incredibly helpful as he tried to adjust to being human, giving him the time and opportunity needed to come to terms with things, but now that he's back to his usual self he doesn't know what to do with all this free time.

His spell had failed before, depositing him into the pool two weeks earlier, and so he's spent awhile trying to research other methods in the library and finding frustratingly nothing about this place. So, after exhausting his patience for the subject for the moment, he's focusing on learning about a different subject.]

For those of you who are human, what is it you enjoy most about being so?

[He's gotten the basics down, but other than trying different kinds of food he isn't yet really exploring any of the fun things about being human. Other than the freedom to make his own choices, he really doesn't quite know what the perks of being human truly are, and he's curious. He knows this will probably out him as not human, but he's confident enough that isn't as much of an issue in this place as he'd initially worried.]

Don't know, really. I suppose everything seemed much simpler when I was human.

[ofthursday]

You are not anymore?

[Castiel's experience is the opposite; things were simpler as an angel, and being human is confusing.]

I don't know really. I believed myself to be human, once. But perhaps I never was. Not truly.

I don't know. I imagine those things are mostly the same as what most people enjoy about being alive, but maybe there's some perspective I'm missing out on.

What are those things? What is it about being alive that you, or most people, enjoy?

[She really only has to think for a moment]

Family and friends. Spending time with them, sharing big moments in their lives, or remembering things with them later.

Pie.

[If you thought he would take this seriously, you were wrong. Or at least, that's what he's letting on in front of everyone.]

Somehow that is not a surprising answer from you.

Dictated forever

[lovemesomepie]

Well, what can I say. Got my priorities. Pie and Magic Fingers.

[i_got_this]

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But mostly sex and drugs. Well, I guess booze more than drugs, it's easier to come by.

[ofthursday]

Those do seem things humans like to indulge in often. I know that drinking is enjoyable.

[But that's the only one of those Castiel has tried.]

The most important thing in my life is my son, so that's what I enjoy most about being human -- being his mom. [Since she had given him up for adoption when he was born, it had taken him ten years to find her again, but once he was back in her life, she was really glad that he was there.]

How old is your son?

[Having children is something completely forbidden for his species, though now that he's human he supposes it's an option. But it's something he's never thought of, really, and the bond humans have with their children is something he's only ever observed from afar. It's something he's always found fascinating.]

[lucre]

The art of conversation.

[ She could say talking or singing but that would be too obvious, even if she does mean to be cruel. ]

[ofthursday]

What do you find so enjoyable about that?

[Castiel's never been big on talk even when he was capable of it.]

[bezazzled]

Bouncy houses. And ball pits. [Ooh!] Bouncy houses WITH ball pits!

[ofthursday]

What are those?

[He's not sure if they're what they sound like or this is some term he doesn't know of and it's kind of both.]

[honeytoes]

Good liqour.

[ofthursday]

That is something many species enjoy, I have found.

I don't know. The food's good. Some kids are cool. Art I guess. You can't appreciate that shit if you're a dog or something.

Sex.

[ofthursday]

Most of these seem popular answers, though you are the first to mention art.

[Though it's a good answer.]

[littlebityeah]

And you're... not human. I'm assuming.

[ofthursday]

I am now.

[ voice ]

[peacockherald]

That... is a difficult question. Considering the number of similarities between those of us here, singling out one thing that makes us "human" and calling it the "favorite" is not so easy...

Though, I know what I have enjoyed most about being alive and here, if that is what you mean.

_{[ Hi again, Castiel. Feeling better? Not that he asks that aloud, but it was a mild concern for him, remembering what the other had been attempting before. ]}

That's essentially what I meant. I know each person will have different answers, but I'm not always certain where to begin.

[He has so many things to learn and try, so he needs ideas of where to start, and also what things to really take note of so he doesn't take them for granted. And yes, he's feeling much better.]
