third hunt ⇝ video

[mulletrock]

[When the feed flickers on Dean's figuring out how to angle it right over his shoulders so it's not too close or too far from him when he starts talking. The whole video thing's still new to him, and he's not sure how to turn it off half the time when he's talking to someone on it.

For a split second you get the image of a folded up assless hospital gown, Mary's apartment and the subtle sigils on the wall, then it's on him.

His hair is still wet from a shower and he's in a black t-shirt and jeans, the amulet looks like nothing but a small flicker of gold before he's got the receiver positioned upright.]

For those of you just joinin' us death's not permanent here. [He should've figured that out when it came to his dad but he just figured that it'd take a lot more than a bullet to the brain to kill him. He had to go out swinging.

Dean just looks tired. He's in nowhere near the same amount of pain as he was in before croaking but he's still riding some out. Not as pale but irritated and not doing a very good job of hiding it. He shrugs.] Doesn't mean you should go Berserker but I thought some of you could use the intel.

[Dean's about to turn off the feed when it hits him.] Anyone know what day of the week it is?

[TFW filter. Including all friends. None of the enemies. Screw you Meg, Crowley, Ruby, Zachy, and the rest.]

Sorry I checked out.

I feel like I got hit by a freight train and then Sam got some hoodoo priest to lay some mojo on me.

[Forget that both have sort of happened. He's not gonna go into how literal that metaphor is.]

Anyway, not sure how long I've been gone but at least I'm not some creepy night monster.

[Willow Rosenberg]

How 'bout that beer?

Comments

[mulletrock]

No, I died for the first time.

Didn't make it out of the hospital like I planned. Can't believe I wasted away without even so much as some dirty paperview before hand.

[inthejunk]

You should have asked. There's a whole stack of confiscated magazines in the back.

[mulletrock]

Really?

You guys carry any Busty Asian Beauty?

I'll pay top dollar for some.

trololo

[momchester]

Yes.

1/?

[mulletrock]

[Dammit. She wasn't supposed to see this.

He's about to say that or at least apologize when her comment hits him.]

2/2

[mulletrock]

[You can see the completely uninterested traumatic look on hisf face even in the dimly lit video.

They needed to make a pact or something. Not to discuss this shit. That was the last frigging thing he needed to hear about his mom.

He wouldn't be touching Dean Jr. for months.]

3/3 - I lied.

[mulletrock]

Thanks for the mental image.

Don't know how I ever survived without this kind of trauma growing up.

[momchester]

I found a pile in the on-call room once, taking a wrong turn to the bathroom.

[Not laughing her ass off right now may be the hardest thing she's ever done.]

Use filters, Dean.

[mulletrock]

Don't worry I'm not makin' this mistake again.

[momchester]

[Okay, she gives.

Time to laugh her ass off. Momma loves you. ♥]

[mulletrock]

Glad you find this so damn funny.

[Dejected? Maybe a little. He's also really embarrassed. He doesn't handle these two things well.]

[momchester]

It's a good day. Everything's funny.

[Sure, she's still a little sick, but screw everything, her son came back from the dead today.]

[parentingfail]

So that's where all my copies went back home.

private; bc he remembered this time. love is black mailing your family.

[mulletrock]

This doesn't need your support.

So, shut the hell up before I let mom in on the fact that Sam's not really the little brother in our family anymore.

damn dean

[parentingfail]

[John kind of just....stares at Dean in shock do a solid half-minute.

Then, amazingly, he laughs.]

Too bad she already knows. Good try though.

he has feels he doesn't know what to do with. deadcat.emote

[mulletrock]

Sonuvabitch.

Just- back off.

I have enough to deal with. That? It's way too much information. More than I'll ever need t'know. Take it easy with the innuendos.

Re: he has feels he doesn't know what to do with. deadcat.emote

[parentingfail]

[God Dean, your dad's happy you're here again and it put him in a rare good mood, and this is how you treat him? Worst. Son. Ever.]

Jesus, who pissed in your cornflakes?

[mulletrock]

No one. It's just... [Dean scratches a hand down the back of his neck and sighs.] Cas told me Sam's gone native again. No one can find him. [He didn't need this right after revival.]

[inthejunk]

I'll check for you on Saturday. If they have it, you'll return the favor, right? I don't really need money, but I have something else in mind.

private; NOW he does it

[mulletrock]

What'd you have in mind?

Re: private; gj deano

[inthejunk]

[You're probably expecting him to ask for beer or something, right? ...Nope.]

Paintball. For my birthday, I -see I made a bet with my friend- anyway, it really has to be for my birthday. But parties of more than five need a deposit, and they won't let me put it down until I'm seventeen. But by then it's too late! So, I need you to do that.

[If you think he looks embarrassed? It's 'cause he is. This is such a stupid problem. He rubs his face and sighs.]

I'll buy a round of paint for you too, if you want. But I can't let that jerk wi...I mean. It would make my birthday a real success!

Re: private; gj deano

[mulletrock]

[He thought he was going to get asked something hard. This actually sounds pretty sweet.]

I can do that. Seems like a pretty kickass way to celebrate. I wish those places had been more available when I was growin' up.

Re: private; gj deano

[inthejunk]

Great!

[He actually does a goofy little hop before he can check himself. Oh, right. That's not cool. Cough.]

In that case, I'll sneak you out as many as I can fit in my schoolbag without someone noticing. Oh. And you can bring someone if you want, I don't think I'll need all 30 spots. But leave your Mom at home, okay?

[Thought he didn't see that, didn't you?]

private; gj deano

[mulletrock]

[That actually earns him a laugh.]

I'll find someone to bring. Put us both on your team and there's no way you can lose.

[Yeah, and he caught that so you're even.]

As many as you can sneak out sounds awesome. After dying there without so much as a decent meal I think I deserve a few. I won't tell anyone.

Re: private; gj deano

[inthejunk]

But the gelatin wasn't half bad, right?

[He winks, although considering how out of it Dean had seemed by the time he was admitted, chances are the guy hadn't had time to notice that he didn't get stuck with the lime.]

I work at the Cat's Eye tomorrow after school. Just ask for my section and don't open them in the bar or my boss will put me back on K.P. for the rest of my life.
