Kevin Tran | 001 | Accidental video

[vates]

[ Kevin's been working for a few days without sleep on the tablet, so when he wakes up, he figures he must've just passed out from exhaustion. He gets all the way to sitting up before he realizes that he isn't in the bunker.

When the feed switches on, it starts first staring up at the ceiling, while in the background, someone is very clearly laying waste to the bookshelf in their room. Kevin steps into the frame as he swings the shelf he'd ripped out to use as a weapon, and he decides it's acceptable before he sets it down. He has a bunch of papers, and as he puts them into an empty pillowcase, the cuneiform symbols can just be seen for what they are -- that is, ancient and unreadable.

He reaches for his shelf again, and now his face fully comes into frame. He looks like a guy who hasn't slept or eaten real food in a few days, with an added couple layers of complete panic. He has no clue where he is, who might've kidnapped him, what they want to use him for, but beneath the panic there's determination.

He made it this far; he won't let them win now.

Once he realizes the phone is broadcasting, he curses loudly and switches it off.

This plan would probably have gone a lot better if he hadn't been Skyping it. ]

You must be Kevin.

[ Hello little prophet! ]

[lightgunhustler]

[Holy crap. That kid looks like he needs a sandwich.]

Whoa, whoa, come back.

[Come on, turn your phone back on.]

You okay?

[notrosesshadow]

[Martha's a doctor. She's extremely concerned about this kid who looks like he's about to keel over.]

Hello? Hey! Do you need food? [Answer yes... Or water?

Or medical attention?

[Kevin will find the next doorway he tries to pass through blocked by a serious-looking man in Winchester-style layers; Michael hasn't bothered to snap up the typical suit and tie that most angels prefer. The faint sound of wings beating the air explains his sudden appearance, if Kevin is paying close attention.]

Kevin Tran, isn't it?

[It's the cuneiform that first caught Michael's attention, but face to face it's all but impossible for an angel not to recognize a prophet.

And, since Raphael already has custody of Chuck, that makes this one his.]

[ Sam's current condition is awful. He's got dark circles under his eyes, his hair is only somewhat tamed and he feels like he's been run over back a semi truck.

This doesn't keep him from reaching out to Kevin, though. Considering the fact the prophet seems intent on destroying the entire facility with a bookshelf, it's probably a good idea to get his attention.

Shooting off a text should be quick enough, and it's hard not to make too many typos considering how badly he just wants to pass out. ]

Kevin, it's Sam Winchester. Calm down, give me a call. I'll explain what's happening here, but you're safe.

[ After he sends that text, there's a small frown and he quickly sends another: ]

Safer than back home, anyway.

Whoa, whoa, dude. Going Rambo on that shelf might be a mega stress reliever, but probably not as helpful as you'd imagine.

[ she waving and trying to get your attention, kevin, pick up the phone. ]

[toldinthebook]

[ Well that- That did not look good ]

Hey, kid.

[ Even if he isn't quite a kid so much but. Whatever. It works, and she doesn't have a name ]

I'd stop a moment.

[foundacause]

The Winchesters haven't got you killed yet? I'm surprised. No, really. I think this must be a new record for them.

[ Hi Kevin! ]

...

...

... What did the bookshelf do to you? Did it give you a funny look?

[blackmagus]

Darling, I can appreciate your taking an initiative, but that's a terrible idea at present.

[She's talking about the shelf, of course. With the angry way people are acting, no one should give other people an excuse to attack them.]

[Oh dear, that's a face Samandriel recognizes, and while it's a bit of a shock to see Kevin so suddenly, he's quick to respond for fear of the little prophet hurting himself or someone else with that bookshelf.]

While I understand your fear and wanting to be prepared for an attack upon waking in an unfamiliar place, that's not a particularly wise idea.

[There's a fairly serious look on his face, but it's marked with concern. Poor Kevin doesn't look so great, and yeah, the angel is a bit worried.]

Are you alright, Kevin?

[Steve knows panic when he sees it. That and a desperate fight for survival. He's impressed at the weapon choice, given the limited options.

He obviously needs some help. Steve can't hear anything happening off screen to indicate an immediate attack, but it's clear that he's getting geared up for something. Or maybe he's just getting prepared.]

Son, you look like you could use some help.

[It's a default slip. Everyone feels so much younger than Steve, even if the age difference isn't obvious. Son is everyone under 25 by default.]

Why don't you take a second and tell me what's happening. I think I can help you.

[happytobleed]

Kevin.

[ There isn't a lot of friendliness from Castiel. He remembers their last interaction and he can't say that he feels bad about it. In fact, he's still annoyed at Kevin's fear and inaction as it seems to continue here.

But then he also sees Raphael reaching out to him and annoyed as he is, Kevin is still important, both because of what he can do and who he is and because Dean seems to care about him a good deal. ]
