[ video ] - Day 231

[lost_my_shoe]

[ One minute Sam was getting things together to summon Crowley and the next he's waking up in his room back at the Cape Kore Science Center. Talk abut a major mindfuck. He could really do without this crap right now.

It takes him a few minutes to figure out where the Hell he is and he's not happy about it. ]

Damn it! Not now!

[ Poor Sam is not a happy Moose right now. He reaches for the device and sends out a video. ]

Hey. So I guess I'm back. Anyone want to fill me in on what I've missed? How long was I gone?

Sam!

[lost_my_shoe]

Hey Jo... Guess this place decided to bring me back again.

You okay?

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

Better now that the extra monsters are gone.

[The extra is important to her.]

Are you okay?

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

I noticed the rooms are back to their usual fluorescent selves.

[ He sighs. ]

I'm... not so okay.

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

You wanna meet up? I'll listen.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

I'm not exactly good company right now. It was one thing Cas telling me Dean was going to die... but living through it?

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

If you want to drink alone you're welcome to, but I'm here if you want company.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

Thanks Jo. I appreciate it. Maybe later I'll come find you.

How long was I gone?

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

Weeks. I kept looking for you.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

Sorry. Dying wasn't exactly on my agenda. Just kinda happened.

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

I'm not blaming you. [That's not why she said it...]

I was just worried.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

Hey. I'm a Winchester. I've been through worse. [ His attempt to crack a joke kinda fails. ]

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

And you're the one who's telling me you'll drink alone.

[That's not okay.]

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

Not so sure this place has enough alcohol for the both of us...

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

You could ask the machine nicely.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

[ That drags a laugh out of Sam, albeit a tired one. ]

Touché.

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

You know how to find me if you want to talk. Or even just have someone around.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

Thanks Jo. I appreciate it. Maybe once I've showered and reacquainted myself with the place I'll come find you.

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

Take it easy, okay?

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

Yeah, you too, Jo.

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

Don't worry about me. [She's going to sleep now. Probably.]

[video]

[wolfofmidgard]

[And here's a Valkyrie with a very wry smile.]

Welcome back. [For what it's worth.] I'm sorry to hear about... how you left.

[She'd been researching at the time. Things had fallen through the cracks, it seems.]

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

Hey Meja. Thanks.

You managed to survive unharmed, I hope? [ He'll feel really rotten if she got hurt because he was too busy being dead to help her! ]

[ video ]

[wolfofmidgard]

More or less.

[Compared to death, being bitten and scratched up is nothing. Especially for a Valkyrie who can heal herself right back.]

It was an... interesting experience. I can't say I ever thought I'd end up in a place like that.

[Part of her feels sheepish, now that she knows where it came from. Even though that's a little ridiculous. That whole thing wasn't of Valkyrie design, or even human design.]

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

Wish I'd had more time to explore before... y'know... getting my skull caved in. The libraries looked like they could be pretty interesting.

Please tell me you researched enough for the both of us?

[ video ]

[wolfofmidgard]

I think I read enough for all of us, in that place.

[Meja smiles wryly.]

Enough to figure out what it was, and then some. A lot of the books were more like gossip magazines than anything else.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

I'd love to hear what you discovered sometime.

[ He can't help being a nerd. ]

[ video ]

[wolfofmidgard]

[Nerds need to stick together. She chuckles, soft. It's nice to have Sam and Anita around for discussion purposes.]

We can meet somewhere, if you'd like. I can bring something alcoholic along, as well, if you need to douse away a few memories.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

[ They should have nerd parties. Nerds only. Jerks need not apply. ]

Yeah. I'd like that. Maybe once I've reacquainted myself with this place I'll look you up.

[ video ]

[wolfofmidgard]

Please do. I never mind company.

[And she can nearly always be found in the hydroponics lab, or the library, given the fact that she doesn't sleep. Though she does retreat to her room a few hours a day, usually with a book, to keep the machine from getting grumpy.]

Everything else all right?

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

... Let's just say I'd rather get my skull crushed in again than have to deal with what's going on back home.

[ video ]

[wolfofmidgard]

That's unfortunate.

[She offers a sympathetic smile.]

Anything I can do to help?

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

I'll be okay.

I'll come find you later, okay?

[ video ]

[wolfofmidgard]

Ja.

[Meja will be around, and easily found. The Center likes her, apparently.]

Take care, Sam.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

You too, Meja.
