2nd Drink | Video | Day 85

[justrunsasaloon]

[Ellen's kicking back in the bar. She looks relaxed, considering the dream shenanigans going on. She sips coffee - or something that looks like coffee - out of a mug in her hand.]

I need some volunteers. Prefer people I know aren't going to go blind easily.

[She sips her mug again.]

Cas, if you wanna step up, I'll trust you.

First batch out of the still is ready. Who's up for being a guinea pig?

I'd offer my services, but you'd probably give me seawater that hasn't been through a still on purpose.

[She just raises her eyebrows.]

I promised Dean I'd play nice. Stay away from me an' Jo, and I won't exorcise you.

[Of course, you know the difference between alcohol and holy water on sight, right Meg?"]

[foundacause]

Lookit Dean getting everyone to play nice together and all hold hands. But I have no intention of going near Military Barbie. Daddy always taught me not to play with dead things.

[ Maybe she should stick to sealed bottled for the foreseeable future? ]

[justrunsasaloon]

Well, then I won't have to worry seeing you around the bar any time soon, now will I?

[Because guess where she's living?]

[foundacause]

Never know, might have me a date with Jack...

[Balthazar's free hand is already raised with the video feed comes on.]

Oh, pick me! I've just gotten over a bout of blindness, but since those were extraordinary circumstances, I'm willing to take a chance.

[justrunsasaloon]

Got the first batch here at the bar. Just want to make sure it's fit for human consumption.

[tryingitall]

Believe it or not, I should be able to make that judgment. Shall I come down there now? [Volunteering to help should always be this easy.]

[justrunsasaloon]

Sure. It's just me sitting here.

[happytobleed]

What do you need me for?

[ Whatever it is, he'll probably be happy to help, especially if it can get them home or even explain the dreams. ]

[video]

[justrunsasaloon]

First batch came out of the still. Need to know if it'll send the humans around here blind. Rather have angels test it so that I don't poison the humans.

[video]

[happytobleed]

Alright. I can try it, then. I'd rather no one get hurt, either.

[video]

[justrunsasaloon]

I'm at the bar; I've got a few others coming. Thanks Cas, I appreciate it.

[hexappeal]

You'll have to be more specific on what I'm testing first.

[justrunsasaloon]

Moonshine.

[Yes, she's smug.]

[hexappeal]

Never been a fan of the taste, but it'll do.

I'm in.

[justrunsasaloon]

I'm at the bar.

Take it you don't die so easy?

[plagiary]

Not that I want to go blind but you are suddenly my new best friend. Congratulations.

[justrunsasaloon]

[She's not impressed and raises her eyebrows.]

Because I can run a still? Pretty low standards, don't you think?

[plagiary]

It's the key to power, naturally.

[ She who runs the alcohol and all. ] Anyone who's been suffering these odd little nighttime invasions will immediately flock to you like you're the mother theresa of this little town. Heal the sick minds and all.

[justrunsasaloon]

It's something I'm used to.

[She snorts at the comment.]

I'm nicer than her. I'll actually give people things to anesthetize brain cells.

[Video]

[lightgunhustler]

Does that leave me out of the running?

[Jo raises an eyebrow.]

Good thing we've got all sorts of angels floating around who'll probably be willing to give it a shot.

[Video]

[justrunsasaloon]

Yes.

[Because, Mama protects.]

Got more than one volunteer. They try it out, we can have it with dinner.

[Video]

[lightgunhustler]

Good. I like the sounds of that. I could use a stiff drink.

[This place really makes you want to hit the bottle.]

[justrunsasaloon]

I put beans on. Should be done about sundown. I'll throw some beer in 'em, spice 'em up a bit.
