[ Private video to Jo Harvelle ]

[ Remember how much older and more tired Sam looked when you first arrived, Jo? Well, he looks a whole lot worse now. Don't take it personally. The last few days have been hard for him. ]

Hey... You still up for that drink?

Comments

[knifecollecting]

[They weren't always like that. She doesn't point that out in favor of reaching for her refilled glass.]

At least there's a chance.

[lost_my_shoe]

[ Sam downs the contents of his glass in one go. ]

You know... I'm sorry. I ask you for a drink and I'm just burdening you with all this crap that you don't need.

[knifecollecting]

I'm a bartender. That's what guys usually do.

[lost_my_shoe]

Doesn't mean I should do the same. So, enough of my bitching. What's on your mind?

[knifecollecting]

Mostly how messed up this place is.

[Heaven was kind of lonely but it was still better than this.]

[lost_my_shoe]

I get the feeling that's one of the most common complaints around here. But hey, at least we have more experience with the messed up than most these people...

[knifecollecting]

I'd prefer the messed up I already know. [Getting to know this crazy messed up is not very fun.]

[lost_my_shoe]

Better the devil you know, right? [ poor choice of phrase, Sam. ]

[knifecollecting]

[Oh, Sam.]

I'd rather no devil at all.

[lost_my_shoe]

You and me both.

[knifecollecting]

Things will get better.

[They have to.]

[lost_my_shoe]

Yeah. Let's hope so.

[knifecollecting]

Are we going to keep drinking?

[lost_my_shoe]

I vote 'yes'. Pretty sure our livers can take it.

[knifecollecting]

Fill me up.

[She slides her glass forward so he can pour the drinks again.]

[lost_my_shoe]

[ He refills their glasses. Once refilled, he picks up his own and clinks it to hers. ]

To a life less sucky.

[knifecollecting]

To life.

[It's all good.]

[lost_my_shoe]

To life.

[ He can drink to that. ]

[knifecollecting]

Why don't you go ahead and tell me about the other people here?

[lost_my_shoe]

I haven't met that many of the locals yet. There's Meja. She's pretty awesome. Fortescue, she's kind of a flirt but pretty awesome too.

And there's Benny. He's from our world. He's a vampire. But we're on a strictly no-kill deal with him. Long story.

[ So, that's Meg - a demon, and Benny - a vampire, and the Winchester aren't killing either of them. Oh, and last Sam heard Ol' Yellow Eyes was around too. Good times. ]

[knifecollecting]

Are there any monsters here that you two actually worry about?

[Because hell, this is worrying.]

[lost_my_shoe]

Seems the Center is good enough at throwing trouble our way without us having to pick fights with the supernatural beings.

If they misbehave we'll deal with them.

[knifecollecting]

Still.

[She's not comfortable with this.]

[lost_my_shoe]

Benny's one of the good guys. I had my doubts at first too, I wanted to cut his head off the second I met him. But he's a decent guy.

And Meg... Meg's Meg.

[knifecollecting]

I'm not planning on getting friendly with either of them.

[She's just going to be honest.]
