[John's voice sounds... shaky as he talks, which isn't really normal for him.]

Guys... [He lets out an unsteady laugh.] Guys, you will never guess what just... There was this guy, he said his name was Castiel, and he... I have no idea how he did it, this is crazy, I have to show you guys this. It's really him... It's really really him...

[ Crowley's warning is firm in Oz's mind as he opened up a private channel, curiosity getting the best of him. ]

Castiel? What did he do? [ and just who is it this guy is talking about? ]

[pranksterheir]

He put my dad's voice on my phone.

You mean in a...

voice mail?

[ he headscratches ] So I take it he's not in the city then? [ he feels for you, sort of. But what a strange gift to receive indeed. ]

[ voice | private ]

[pranksterheir]

Kind of.

No... and he's dead back home.

[his_own_will]

[ oh ]

I see... [ a dead father, huh? Was that worse then a living one who wanted nothing to do with you? Who denied one's very existence? ] It... It must be a comfort then, to have his voice. [ If Gil died, he'd like to keep a piece of him. He just always thought it'd be a picture. ]

[pranksterheir]

Yeah, it really is. I never thought I'd get to hear him again.

[ there's a smile in his voice as he speaks up again ] Then I'm glad he did something good for you although...

You may want to make a recording of the recording. You don't want to lose it a second time! [ he's lived with Gil too long. One mispressed button and the whole thing could be gone ]

[pranksterheir]

That's a good idea! Thanks for the tip.... Uh, what's your name? I don't think I know you.

{ Oz's voice immediately brightens up ]

It's Oz, Oz Vessalius! I don't think I caught yours. [ since they're on the subject... ]
