[The SFC turns on, and it shows Jacob sitting quietly in the middle of his cabin, his black chocobo beside him. For some reason, she seems nervous, and keeps trying to jump up and run around, but every time she's stopped by his hand on her head and she calms down. The man himself seems to be staring off into the distance, not quite looking at the camera at all.]

If a person is made to change into something different...does this change them who they are as a person?

[There's an intake of breath from him, and then suddenly, without warning, the candles around the cabin go out, one by one, even though Jacob doesn't move a muscle. The man continues to speak as if nothing is happening.]

It's odd, really. You don't think that it would, but suddenly, you're seeing the world so differently, through someone else's eyes...

[It's now pitch dark. The chocobo lets out a nervous cry, and then the candles blaze ferociously on and off, showing the shadows of what seem to be two large wings coming out of Jacob's back.]

[And then the whole sight is gone as fast as it was shown. Jacob continues to sit, but this time he looks at his hands, as if making sure they're real. His chocobo, way too nervous by the affair, walks off screen, and Jacob doesn't stop her. When he speaks again, he actually sounds a bit uncertain, which is not a tone you hear Jacob use very often.]

I think...I think I'm an angel now. It's very strange. I'm me. But I'm not me.

I'm just something else now.

[ooc: Jaocb is a Supernatural angel for this curse, if you haven't figured it out by now. Here is all the info about them.]

I think it's fitting for you~

[A slight huff.]

Honestly, I don't think it is. I'm no angel.

[He's no angel, and now that he is one is something that he isn't sure he ever wanted to be.]

Mmm....Angels are supposed to protect people though, right?

You protect people, Jacob. And you love everyone just like God's supposed to...I think 'angel' is perfect.

[You're his angel. :c]

[He looks faintly uncomfortable with the praise, because Johnny doesn't know how many deaths he was responsible for, how much blood was on his hands.]

I wasn't always one, Johnny.

[Johnny's expression turns sympathetic. He just can't understand why Jacob doesn't see what he sees.]

So? How you used to be doesn't matter to me, it's who you are now. It's how I see you.

....aren't you the one who's always telling me I'm redeemable? If I am, you are too.

[There's a long pause.]

I guess. But once upon a time, Johnny, I was just a simple human being, Still am in some respects. I made a lot of mistakes that I regret to this day.

Don't worship me as an idol. I'm nowhere near that.

...I won't worship you, but that doesn't mean I'll stop looking up to you.

The you you are now.
