† ONE [voice] - backdated to Friday morning

[upstairsbrain]

[ Hello, world. Meet new arrival, Sam Winchester. But you might not know that it's him, because he's not showing his face yet, and: ]

This is Agent Murdock. [ He clears his throat, pausing a moment. ] If anyone's out there, and can hear me, or needs help... just let me know. I'm sort of at a loss, here, and I'd like some information. If this thing is even working, that is.

[ He's confident in his tech abilities, but something's definitely up with his phone. ]

... Thanks.

[ Finally, he switches over to video, despite the expression on his face. ]

Wait--

[ No. ]

Michael and Lucifer? ... They're here?

[Video/Shitty Private]

[She also flips over to video. She looks a tiny bit older than she was when they fought War. But most of that seems emotional age. After all, Ellen is eternal, right?]

Listen to me, Sammy. They're here. Along with Crowley - self-proclaimed king of hell or something. Castiel is here too. But you be careful of Lucifer and Michael. They're playing nice, but I don't trust it.

Michael looks like your father did, a long time ago. And Lucifer is running around in whatever poor bastard he found.

[upstairsbrain]

[ Crowley, Lucifer, Michael... he's happy that Cas is with them, but the weight of having the other three around crushes any of that. Sam just listens, forehead wrinkled in concern. ]

Like my dad? [ That's news to him. Why would he do something like that? ] ... This is--

[ But he heaves another sigh, scrubbing his face with a hand, unable to really say what this is. ]

[ellen_harvelle]

Trust me, I know.

[She wishes he would come around and have a drink with her so she can hug him.]

I wish I could say it was a joke, but I'm pretty sure the joke's on us.

[upstairsbrain]

[ Then she'd be the second person to offer him a drink today. But, he just needs some time right now, to process everything. ]

So, Dean, Cas... my parents, Crowley, Michael... Lucifer. Is there anyone else I should know about?

[ellen_harvelle]

[She thinks for a moment.]

Jo's here.

[A pause because she's not sure she wants to say this.]

And Meg.

[upstairsbrain]

[ The first part lightens the load of negativity, but then, there's Meg. And it sinks again. ]

... At least you've got Jo.

[ Trying to be optimistic here. ]
