Dean Winchester | 008 | Video
Well, welcome to the other side.
[ Dean's been laying low since this place decided to turn into an episode of This Is Your Life, featuring some of his least favorite angels of all time, but after their stint in the tunnel, it seems kind of dumb. They know he's here, even if they didn't talk, and Dean knows they're here, and what the hell ever.
He's got stuff to say, anyway. He spins around in his chair, revealing the wall of monitors behind him, some of them showing feed from the Cape. ]
Now we get to see what life's like over here. Ever wonder what those cameras were hooked up to? [ He grins tightly. ] Found it. Lots of seats up here too to make it nice and cozy.
[ Dean's pissed, and it's thinly veiled, but he breaks off from that to look away and then back again. ]
Has anyone seen Charlie? Redhead, big nerd, game for miles. Tell her to call me.
[ She probably just got lost in the shuffle, right? (He can't even fool himself that much.) ]

[The smile she shoots him is sympathetic. Yeah, she'd been feeling that, too.]
Felt pretty grim there for awhile, but the kind of panic that incites will usually got a long way towards keeping you alive. Not the first time I've been trapped in a place like that and it probably won't be the last. At least there was a distinct lack of murderous lamia this time.
[Seriously like one of her least favorite stories.]
no subject
Lamia. Rough stuff. [ That hadn't been a good couple of days for him, either, though at least he wasn't walled up with one in some tunnels. ] Had to make a flamethrower out of the gas line of an oven for that one.
no subject
[She knows it must have taken real effort for you to ask that in earnest, Dean. She's proud of you.]
Sounds efficient. Wish I'd had that option. [She makes a face, wrinkling her nose a little.] Got poisoned. That a laugh and a half.
[Until she found out that tickling sensation had been her organs turning to mush. There aren't many days that she's thankful to Jean-Claude for giving her the vampire marks, but that was one incident where she would have died without them.]
Can you believe I didn't get to kill her? She works for my-- [Ugh. No. Let's not say 'boyfriend.'] -- a friend decided she was more useful alive than dead.
no subject
What was a lamia doing hangin' around -- you're not from Greece, are you? [ The only reason Dean and Sam ran into one was because of Eve. ]
no subject
[She's still butthurt about it, it's true.]
St. Louis. She was an import. Belonged to an ancient vampire that came to the territory. Snakes were his animal to call, so he had control over her. Not as much as he thought he did, but enough.
no subject
[ It also sounds really intriguing, and he's kind of surprised he hasn't run up against something like that. Or has he? Shit, sometimes, it's hard to remember. ]
no subject
Wouldn't you know it, some vampire executioner took his head. Shucks.
[Illegally, yes, and it got her in big trouble with the Vampire Council later on, but that's another story for another day.]
The Master of St. Louis has his pet lamia on a leash now. She's one of the star attractions at the Circus of the Damned. Like every freak show you've ever heard of times ten. Monsters on display or performing for human tourists. I can't believe how much money that place actually makes.
[Personally, she thinks it's kind of horrifying.]
no subject
So the freak show made a comeback?
[ He guesses that's one way for a bunch of legal monsters to make a living, but it sounds really sketchy and also dangerous. That many people shuffling in and out around monsters? ]
How do they keep those guys from going nuts on people?
no subject
[It kind of puts anyone who went through all the hard work to earn a college degree and choose a profession to shame. Pretty awful, actually.]
The Master of the City keeps a pretty tight leash on his people. ... the previous Master, not so much, but the current one likes being an entrepreneur and for the most part wants everyone working for him to do so within the confines of the law. Now and then there's a slip.
[She's caught most of them.]
But a lot of them are more afraid of me than they are of the cops. That's probably pretty smart of them, to be honest. The police aren't properly trained to deal with them yet. The department apparently thought cross-shaped tie-tacks would be enough.
no subject
They'll learn quick, once they start realizing they're getting nowhere fast. [ And then, suddenly, he's reminded of Henriksen. ]
Some of 'em might turn out to be good hunters. Who knows? [ He's more wistful than he was a second ago, but he tries to shake it off. ]
no subject
[But he's right about some of them making good hunters.]
I would kind of love to see the Sergeant take on a vampire with a sawed-off shotgun, personally. Man's all business. The vamp would be shaking in their designer boots.
mind if we wrap this up? <3
Sending people in without training is dangerous. I hope they get some money sent their way.
By all means! <3
[Helps when she has to behead chickens, but that's a story for another time.]
I hope so, too. Sooner rather than later. I've probably kept you long enough, though -- I'm sure you've got friends and family to check in on, considering we're all still getting settled over here.
