for kumiko — tdm continuation

[impersonal]

( continued from here

when she returns home. he used to like an optimist. is that part of him dead and buried? )

You have a favorite?

[musicalheart]

Girl Crazy.

But I really like Flashdance, too.

[ Kimiko doesn't entirely get that's not exactly a musical, yet, but she was in the process of watching 80s movies back home, before coming here. Her "catch up on movies" thing will have to wait. ]

You have a favorite movie?

for castiel — tdm continuation

[impersonal]

( continued from here

He can only imagine how much Cas' head isn't buzzing anymore. )

No more angel radio. All FM all the time.

( And, he assumes, Cas is alone with his own thoughts now. )

[nuntius]

No more angel radio.

[ He can hear others sometimes, but more often than not, it's his own thoughts rattling around in his head. It's odd. ]

I won't keep you. I'm sure my counterpart is very glad you are here.

[ And won't be needing Castiel as a placeholder anymore. ]

Dean— Ah, fuck. Dean is— the other Dean is gone. And Cas is—

[ he moves the phone away to curse again, softly, under his breath. his voice is shaking. ]

—If you could get down here to public housing. Please. I need your help.

un: hallie parker | private | voice — action

[impersonal]

( he picks up the call because he still feels - he doesn't know what to call it, an obligation, a kinship in what they went through, something that has him listening to cas' frantic stops and starts. )

Cas, slow down, Dean is -

( he says 'gone.' and he pauses again, or pulls the phone away or something. )

Cas.

( he swears under his own breath, considers it for a split second and hangs up. he's not going to be any good over the phone like this. he pulls on clothing, going over it in his mind. dean's gone. which -- could mean, if he followed orientation -- he's arrested, he's dead but not staying dead, or, he's gone altogether and gone home.

he doesn't know what he'd want for the guy, considering he assumes things turned out less apocalyptic for him. he was never able to ask or get any answers. never able to know if he needed them.

coat on, he uses the stairs, and hightails it to the Up edge, to the elevator. there's a bigger line than he anticipates, probably an 'end of the night' sub thing he didn't pay attention to. he should brush up on those rules.

it's another ten-twenty minutes that he makes it to the Down housing for the first time. it reminds him of some of the shittier motels he and sam stayed in. but, once he's there and he realizes there are hallways and rooms, he dials cas again. and when cas answers: )

I'm here, which room?

hey, you should take a look at this

there's a written timeline of the city and other notable events. some pretty messed up implications here.

text, un: lindsay lohan | private forever

[impersonal]

Did you just give me homework?

( but he'll scroll. and bookmark for when he has the time. cause he figures he should get a lay of the land that way. timeline and all )

voice ★ un: rowena

[magike]

We should talk. Again.

( don't mind the fact that she sounds a little tense, dean, she's trying to deal with it )

voice ★ un: the other dean

( last time, they ended it on 'if you ever need anything.' )

Here's a secret, Santa's not real. Or, here, he's probably stepping out on Mrs. Claus.

Backdated to Christmas

I could do with a drink.

voice ✁ un: the other dean

[impersonal]

( the timing is something. he leaves a voicemail for Cas and sees he gets a message of his own. )

You and me both. You and me need to have a conversation.

text; un: the other shoe

[nomoreleftshoe]

Happy birthday, Dean.

1/2

[impersonal]

Thanks, Sam

text ✁ un: the other shoe (during the storm)

[nomoreleftshoe]

Hey, where are you?

text ✁ un: M1911A1

[impersonal]

Still at The Scratch. Safe. Sara went out in the storm and hasn't come back yet.

Where are you?

text, un: barton

[westcoasts]

( he doesn't know if sara's reached out or will reach out, all clint really has to go on is how he'd reacted after he'd died, and bobbi (kinda sorta, even if she didn't actually die), and nat, and barney, and— well, all people with poor coping mechanisms for the most part, and he's under no illusions about sara and how well she fits in amongst that classification of individuals.

(he'd refrained from letting anyone know he was back. bobbi had pulled away from everyone. nat had kept her distance and hadn't let anyone know. barney had been barney.)

so, stands to reason — he thinks — that sara'll probably just turn back up at work like nothing had happened, and given everything, it's only fair enough to let dean know that she's okay — or, well— )

sara's alive.

( he doesn't imagine they're going to have a big conversation about it — dean doesn't strike him as the sort, and clint typically only has conversations like that with a very select number of individuals, but it's the courtesy. )

[impersonal]

( she told him how hot he is. well, she criticized the city's choice in Gifs. same thing. )

I know

You good?

voice ★ un: rowena

[magike]

Did you remain safe, Dean?

( she sounds 90% herself, much less shaken than she has over the past few days. trying to pull her mask over tighter to hide the last bit )

[impersonal]

( Dean answers the phone, having finished his shift. He's in a quieter part of the Scratch, by the unused craps table. )

Safe and in one piece. Did DTF shake you down, too?

private; un: the other shoe

[nomoreleftshoe]

What the hell is a "People Zoo."

private all the way down; un: M1911A1

[impersonal]

It's blue collar jail for subs. I was in white collar jail.

Is this your way of telling me you're in blue collar jail, Sam?

private group text; un: M1911A1

[impersonal]

( for Sam, Castiel, and Rowena

ignoring the elephants in the room, how quiet Dean was, how he was taken and how now they're all taken. again. maybe Dominance at Love Island caught on, maybe old habits just don't die. )

looks like Temptation Island was cut short in favor of Degrassi Duplicity-style. sound off here if you need anything or if you got shafted in the roommate lottery. seems harmless, but it's best we play along and go to "classes"

private to dean only; un: Taurus99

[nomoreleftshoe]

Doing my best.

un: Taurus99, voicemail

[nomoreleftshoe]

[When Sam speaks, his voice is tense.] Hey, when you get a second, could you call me back?

We gotta talk about something.

[impersonal]

( They do, don't they. He went through the motions first in school and then at the "job fair," now that he's the new owner of The Neptune, but shit's still shit here. He's dodged him up until now, dodged everyone...

Despite it, he places the call back after listening to his voicemail. )

un: unregistered ; audio

[dirtytrenchcoat]

We need to talk about Sam.

; audio

[impersonal]

( He knows. Rowena gave him his shocking stone, but he found him thinking he was talking to Dean. )

Let me guess, Sam's telling tall tales about what I told him to do? Lucifer's burying himself deeper and using me to get to him.

Voicemail

[nomoreleftshoe]

Hey I think I got a lead on something that might get rid of you know who. It's a guy who's got experience with his own Hell that has a couple ideas it wouldn't hurt to try.

Caliban? Not sure if you've met him.

He, uh. He said burning me with hellfire could work.

And I know. I know how that sounds. But we don't have a whole ton of other options and. Well. He's getting more insistent. So. Yeah.

I say we take Caliban up on his offer.

Anyways, call me back. Let me know what you think.

Private Voice Note (Like a Mail, Essentially?)

[impersonal]

( Props for trying to do something, but hellfire definitely has him on the fence. )

Hey. I've seen Caliban around the network. Name screams demon, so his Hell credentials are probably legit. He walk you through the hellfire and brimstone? If he can get us from point a: hellfire to point b: you not losing your mind, I'm for it. I want to know if there are any side effects.

Call me back.

text ★ un: rowena

[magike]

I'm worried about Samuel.

How often does he actually try to sleep?

( she knows, she gave him her potion, but she doesn't know if and when he uses it. and from some of their texts he hasn't been )

text ✁ un: M1911A1

[impersonal]

Cas and me are, too.

A demon named Caliban offered two solutions. Not that we negotiate with terrorists. But, we have to try something.

What do you know about Hellfire?

a gift delivered

[magike]

( she has her magic leave the small box on his bed, not wanting samuel or castiel to see it and ask any questions, even though she knows that dean would be suspicious about having something just left on his bed.

it's a simple black gift box, tied with a soft, red bow, and a label that simply says-- )

Dean.

From Rowena

( in her scripted handwriting.

inside the box is a small, celtic-inspired pendant on a chain, and a folded piece of paper )

I enchanted this amulet with a simple spell. Hold it and relax, and it'll project your consciousness to a safe landscape. Your mum will be waiting. It'll work only for you.

I only met her briefly before she was trapped in the other world, but the me back in our world is getting her back again for you. She's a wonderful woman, and you should have the chance to see her again.

Thank you, Dean.

-- Rowena.

[impersonal]

( he leaves Cas (vaguely, I don't know from where, but there is a heart to heart of sorts) and heads back to his bedroom.

he spots the box as he closes the door behind himself. he reads the note first. he doesn't know how he feels. he holds the pendant on a chain in his hand while he reads, then dangles it in front of himself as he contemplates it.

he's not ready. he's shut down. but maybe the first part, getting sam back, thaws him. and the second part, castiel's olive branch.

either way, he sets the pendant back in his box, sticks it in his bedside drawer and shuts it.

it doesn't mean he's not grateful.

it means he's not ready,

(not worthy. not enough. not good enough.)

how do you accept something you don't deserve? )

text ★ un: rowena

[magike]

( she sends a pin drop to her new address, followed by the message-- )

If you need me.

( and a few minutes later )

Or for a drink. You'd be welcome.
