[ Silva has been nowhere near the castle since he gathered supplies and information regarding his revenge plan on Meg. The risk factor is far to high.

However he will be back at some point soon. He has far to much unfinished business with people there. But for today he is hiding out in a small cottage in the countryside.

He moves around from day to day. Always thinking on his toes ... always keeping his enemies guessing. But after a time he still likes to stop and preach take stock on events]

Tomorrow it will be the most jolliest and most commercial of holidays ... christmas.

I trust you have all been good boys and girls this year? Otherwise Santa Claus will not be bringing you any presents this year. But this poses the most excellent of questions does it not?

What is the point of gifts in a place that grants you whatever you desire?

So think of this as a charming little mental excerise. If you could be given anything that is not already available here ... what would it be?

Do have a think long and hard about this one. It could be anything from a weapon to a cherished childhood keepsake.

Surprise me Paradisa.

[Oh, look. Castiel's favorite person.]

I would appreciate my sword.

I needn't explain why, I'm sure.

[There may be a hint of smugness behind his words.]

Isn't there a law against angels being wrathful?

It hardly seems very Christian.

[Written forever!]

[ofthursday]

We do many things we're not supposed to.

Being wrathful is barely considered undesirable, let alone prohibited.

Voice forever and ever

[hasmommyissues]

How fascinating to know angels are just as flawed as us mere mortals.

[ofthursday]

We are very similar in many ways.

[Private]

What exactly had you been hoping to accomplish? Was it simply revenge?

[After the last few days of living in a postcard, Spike is too familiar with the commercial side of Christmas. But then, he didn't intend on answering his question anyway.]

It's a little late to be asking for gift ideas.

[hasmommyissues]

What can I say? I've been a little too preoccupied with work to hit the shops as it were.

[gottaknockhard]

They say homemade gifts are more personal.

[hasmommyissues]

Not everybody appreciates them though.

[Sighing.]

Nobody believes in the old adage "It's the thought that counts" anymore.

[gottaknockhard]

Maybe I'm old fashioned.

[well_assembled]

That is a beautifully crafted question, seems so innocuous but it can be insightful. Could be turned against people so easily.

[hasmommyissues]

Thank you.

I've often been told I have a way with words.

[well_assembled]

Oh you do, more so than most of the people here probably realize.

[hasmommyissues]

But you've noticed ... haven't you?

Why is that?

[well_assembled]

Maybe because I use people and information in the same way you do.

Dictated; Not super late at all

[putuporshutup]

Your guts for garters would be positively lovely.

Come join the party

[hasmommyissues]

[Oh it's his new BFF.]

Oh are we not laughing about that little incident of ours yet?

[putuporshutup]

[Total besties.

Oh, he wanted laughter? Good. 'Cause he's getting it. It's just so damn entertaining how much he stepped in it.

It's airy, genuine, and carefree. And very amused.]

Of course we are. You really have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?

[hasmommyissues]

I'm aware of what you are now darling ... Somebody who is not to be underestimated.

I hope you will extend me the same curtosy?

[putuporshutup]

[She would question his logic, but it's obvious that he's simply insane enough to think that any mortal is a match for a demon or an angel - in this particular case, both. He's probably a masochist to boot, and Meg knew from her time with Alastair that the best way to break those was to stroke their ego, feed their delusions, lull them into a false sense of security - superiority, even.

And then? Then you hit them with the kind of pain that even the very worst of mortals can't conceive of.

She did always enjoy the part where she got to egg them on so much.]

Forgive me for playing Devil's Advocate here, [She chuckles] but you really think because you found a couple of cute little tricks in a book and made things a little messy and personal, you're gonna be able to hold your own here?

[originalcopy]

The castle can't give me what I really want, so I'll just take what I can get.

[hasmommyissues]

And what do you desire young man?

[originalcopy]

Since I can't have it, it really doesn't matter does it?

[He wants the people he's lost back.]

[hasmommyissues]

Not really.

But this is more a mental excerise rather then a wish list. It'll help satisfy a need I have to be surprised here.

Hmmm tell you what? How about I tell you mine?

[originalcopy]

Surprises aren't something you'll have to wait too long for around here.

Meh, why not? What would you want?
