Dean Winchester | 004 | video late Day 84

[venatical]

How do I get in touch with Mr. Sandman to tell him to get out of my freaking head?

[ Good evening, Cape Kore. Dean's been talking to some of his housemates and has put enough together to know that something weird's going on in Dreamland. ]

Whoever's snorting the dream dust, knock it off. And none of you are invited to my head, so keep out.

[ Running around in Charlie's dreams not too long ago was too much like what's going on now, though one weird thing sticks out. Well, weirder. ]

Whose fault is that city made out of rock candy? [ Or crystals. ] Can't you dream up people with faces next time?

Comments

[venatical]

Knew something was up when the juiced up Cas was having dreams. What do you think?

[justrunsasaloon]

I think I'm going to have another drink.

[Because, yeah.]

[venatical]

[ Good point, but not quite what he was aiming for. ] I mean, what do you think's doing it? And is this even what it is?

[justrunsasaloon]

Hell if I know. Not the angels. They wouldn't bother. Djinn? Maybe, but it's one more powerful than I've ever heard. Demons? Sure, I'd believe it.

[venatical]

[ He nods, licking over his lips; he's not convinced by any of this. ] It's not a djinn. And I checked for sulfur, but I don't want to rule any of that stuff out.

[ But his alarm bells are sounding, and what he's really afraid of is what he's about to say next. ] Could be them. The scientists. Messing with our heads like when they messed with our bodies.

[ Which means he's starting from square one trying to keep them out. Demons? Yeah, he can take demons out, he knows how to handle that. Djinn? Sure. But the scientists? ]

[justrunsasaloon]

[Dammit, leave her her illusions. She wants to be able to fight this.]

Could be. Might be able to counter it. Specific hex bags. I don't remember them, but maybe something will jog the memory. I'll go scour the library, see if I can find anything.

[venatical]

I'll meet you there, we can work together. You got anything on an antidote to djinn poison? Grasping at straws here, but I'm ready to throw anything at this to see if it'll stick.

[ Because in the end, it's about more than keeping their dreams to themselves. It's about keeping the scientists out. Can they do it? ]

[justrunsasaloon]

[Ellen really has to dig back into her mind. Djinn aren't something that are seen on a regular basis. At least not in the states.]

Not that I can remember. Don't have any of my books with me either.

[Damn she misses Bobby.]

Lemme check the still, and I'll head over to the library.

[venatical]

We got it from Samuel -- Oh. [ He stops and makes a face, then shakes his head. ] You don't want to hear that story. Anyway, I can meet you there.

[justrunsasaloon]

Samuel?

[She's going to get that story, eventually.]

I'll see you there.

[She'll check on the still and then hit the library.]

--> action

[venatical]

[ He's thinking hard about that djinn antidote, if they have the resources to put it together and give it a shot or not, when he heads into the library and looks around before he calls out. What? It's not like some librarian's going to tell him to hush up. ]

Ellen! Yo, Ellen!

[justrunsasaloon]

Boy, I know you've got better manners than that.

[No but Ellen will. She puts a pile of books on the table. There isn't much, but there are herbals, and some fairy tales.]

[venatical]

[ He gives her his innocent face, and then flips open one of the books, not that he's reading it. ]

There's gotta be something in one of these books that'll at least help keep things outta our heads, right?

[justrunsasaloon]

[That innocent face stopped working on her a long time ago. Still, she hooks a chair with her foot and drags it over to sit down.]

I'm hoping something will jog my memory. I know that garlic, ginko, and a few others that the modern hippy types are adopting do work, but I remember thistle, bay, marjoram, nutmeg, lavender and nutmeg.

[A lot of them crossover, but that's what she remembers. And she's willing to admit it's probably wrong.]
