[ Feed flickers on and it's just showing the sky...and the curious sniffing nose of one of Logan's dire wolves. From the looks of it, he's just at the edge of the woods and just laying on the ground like it's any thing to do. But it's fucking cold...and Dean's not wanting to put up with this shit. His communicator shuts off for a moment before he's...sitting at the gazebo instead of staying at the house. ]

So...I'm guessing I missed the Christmas party? Anyone seen my brother? Anybody know what the hell happened? [ He'd stopped at the house but...Sam's stuff wasn't there. There wasn't really a sign that anyone had been there in a couple days.

It didn't really help none. ]

[ Anna's response is quick, almost immediate actually, but not exactly sympathetic or kindly in anyway. When her feed flicks on she has a very serious expression on her face, and her voice is sharp and curt. ]

Dean, are you alright?

[ That's apparently enough small talk, because she presses on quickly. ]

Where are you, we need to get you somewhere safe.

[plaidsamurai]

Yer a sight for sore eyes, kid. I thought... anyway, I'm glad yer back. I see Heckle, or is that Jeckle, found you.

Haven't seen Sam around though, sorry. Laura's gone missing too. You've missed some great fun though [all the sarcasm]. The bar's been empty without you.

[noblexcompanion]

Dean?! You had us worried. Are you alright? [ What? The eye candy must be protected from harm! ]

I haven't seen your brother though. Sorry.

Looks like your brother eloped with mine.

[What are you talking about, making bad jokes about it is the most healthy reaction.]

private;

[manofiron]

You lost someone too?

[ He pauses, considering what else he's seeing and hearing. ]

Where've you been?

[audio]

[rigging]

[ Normally he wouldn't respond, but for whatever reason, he feels like he should. ] What's your brother look like? and whattaya mean, "what the hell happened"?

[shesamarshmallow]

You did miss the Christmas party. You were deeply missed. [ Sarcasm level? Low. ]

Your brother is that moose-looking guy you hang out with a lot, right? Like, giant moose?

[video]

[saltline]

[He peers down at the communicator...is he alright? What kinda question is that?]

I've never been better. You know, missing time and all brings me back. [Not really.] Where's somewhere safe exactly,Anna?

[saltline]

[ He smirks a bit at the sight of Logan...well, at least he was still there. ] It is...one of the wolves. [ He can tell them apart at this point...but he wasn't really paying attention as the animal pretty much settled next to Dean under the gazebo. ]

Laura...your mini-me? You okay? [ A pause. ] I bet. I brighten every room I'm in.

[saltline]

[ At least she's not asking for him to relocate to somewhere "safer". He shrugs. ]

Been better, but then again I still woke up in this place again.

Not a problem, Donna. Nothing bad happen while I was gone did it?

[saltline]

Well...he could do worse.

[ He has done worse. Not that joking helps any. ] Wait...who's gone on your side? Cas or Balthazar?

private;

[saltline]

Yeah, my brother.

[ He scowls, running his hand down his face. ]

I dunno...guess I took a little siesta that I don't remember going on.

[hung_garian]

Balthazar. So if wants to do worse, he might have to make a concentrated effort.

[Although playing 'let's mock Balthazar' is a little less fun now that Balthazar's probably being tortured by mad scientists, or something similarly awful.]

Castiel, on the other hand, is still on the market, so don't get your delicate little panties in a twist.

[plaidsamurai]

Yup, that's the one. [He's trying to keep up the light teasing, but there's no way the worry in his voice will escape Dean.]

I'm uh... [yea, there's no good answer to Dean's question]... I'm looking. Nothing yet. But I'm glad you turned up. One person off the list of missing.

[video]

[afallenstar]

Safe is a relative term. I'll do what I can.

[ She frowns slightly though, and at least that is some kind of reaction, right? But she certainly doesn't have the patience for Dean's smartass comments at the moment, which is why they largely get ignored. ] you didn't answer my question.

[audio]

[saltline]

[ He doesn't recognize the voice...but at this point any help is good help. ]

Tall, shaggy hair, kinda looks like a guy you would see on the cover on a trashy romance novel. [ A pause. ] I guess I just got back from a vacation from this place.

[video]

[saltline]

I'm not looking to be safe right now. That's actually the last thing I want.

[ He knows he can take care of himself. ] I'm the best I can be in the place I'm in right now. Your...brother told me about Balthazar. You need help looking for him?

[saltline]

Well, I'm deeply saddened I didn't get a chance to spike someone's eggnog. It was on my bucket list. [ He smiles. ] I have a pretty lame bucket list. [ Sarcasm is always good...especially in times when you're confused. ]

Yeah. That's the guy.

[saltline]

Pretty sure it's Tweedledum. [ He's just on the look out for the other one as he tries to ignore the worry in his voice. ]

How many people went missing while I was gone? [ Wasn't anyone keeping track of this? ] I'm annoying...the white coats probably sent me back just to get rid of me.

[saltline]

Difference of opinion then. When did he disappear?

[ Same goes when it comes to his brother. He's hoping it's like before and not...permanent. ]

I figured I needed to do a role call before everyone I knew suddenly just dropped off the map. He's not at the gazebo...or my attic, so it's cause for a little concern.

[plaidsamurai]

Five... maybe six people? You, Laura, Bal-somethin', another kid. Y'know who'd be better to ask? Stark. He's been gettin' details and forming search parties. Kinda reminds me, I should probably offer him a helping hand now that I can again.

private;

[manofiron]

Seems like that's going around. Can you give me a description of him? I'm already looking for a couple others, I can add him to the list.

Do you remember what you were doing before you fell asleep?

[noblexcompanion]

You know, the usual... Regular crazy with a side of missing persons...

[shesamarshmallow]

That is... really lame, yeah.

I haven't seen him lately, but I've also been on the blind side of life. I'll poke around.

[ For just a moment, she seems serious, and her tone of light banter after sounds somewhat forced. ] But you know, with the way people go missing around here, they probably took him.

[video]

[afallenstar]

What is it with you self-sacrificing types?

[ She hesitates at the mention of Balthazar though, and after a moment she gives a small, short nod. Because that's what all of this is about, really. Making sure she doesn't lose anyone else that has made her shortlist of 'people she gives a damn about'. ]

I'd appreciate the help. We can look for your brother too.
