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.) ]

Good. Glad to hear it.

[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.]

Alec and I both got through just fine.

[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.

One of the rawest deals of my career, I'll admit.

[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.

[She smiles wryly.]

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.]

Yep. And since vamps have been legalized, people romanticize them. You can imagine the amount of business they do.

[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.

The Spook Squad itself does good work. They're a task force put together specifically for the purpose of digging into preternatural crimes. Most people get bumped to it as punishment or because they pissed someone off a little higher up, but the guy they put in charge decided to take it serious and do what he can to make sure his men are able to do the job. That's Sergeant Storr. He calls me in a bunch. I help them prep where I can, but it's the rest of the force that's making it hard for them. No funding, no proper training.

[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.

By all means! <3

I like keeping one on hand myself, actually.

[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.
