Good evening. :)
Hi everyone, my name's Jolinar, and I play Jimmy Novak.
It's weird. I really like the characters, but I'm iffy on the show itself. Too many writers, too many questionable decisions, too many passes with the idiot ball? Who knows.
But, I was catching up on what I'd missed, and my creative muse (in all her fickle, fickle glory) latched onto the story of this one poor bastard that had signed on to help Castiel and gotten stuffed in the fridge. He got an episode when Castiel screwed up enough to get dragged off to Heaven, and a mention in the episode with Famine, and.... that was it. No closure, no mention that Jimmy'd been shuffled off to Heaven, nothing.
Now, granted, in the meta sense, I can understand that. Writers only having five seasons worth of episodes to work with, a writer's strike throwing everything up in the air.. But I felt that Jimmy deserved at least a little more than what he got. And thinking about him spiraled out into a very important question:
.... What would six years with Castiel do to a person. How would it have affected him?
My first thought was 'Trauma ahoy!' In canon, it's stated that Jimmy remembers fragments, impressions, nothing specific. And he's spent six years with an angel that's descending into madness, culminating in Castiel's dealings with Crowley and the Leviathans. Finishing with Castiel walking into the water to dissolve.
Which is where I came in. This is an AU of Jimmy, since it's never explained what happened to him (to my satisfaction, anyway.) And picks up with him arriving in Taxon after a week's layover in Atlanta, Georgia. He doesn't know how or why he's back among the living, but he's going to try again what he was trying to do before.
Get away from the angel and get home. Or, more realistically at this point, make a new life for himself somewhere.

Anyway, hi, I'm Relia. I play:
* Horst Cabal, a chatty Victorian vampire
* Rosalind Lutece, a smartass quantum physicist
One of them likes to make friends, the other is basically a snob and a glorified internet troll. :D

Good to see another 'Like the world, don't care for the show' fan. :D
