[intraining]

[ when the video comes on, it's on accident, and there's a moment there where the feed shakes around a bit before it jerks - almost as if someone hit it, before it tilts back to a head full of red hair and a very unamused look. ]

Not sure on what planet these kinds of kidnapping-and-drugging shenanigans are even legal, but hey, I can take a joke. You did a great job setting this up, but genre clash? Doesn't start till next month. And this whole Silent Hill thing - what did you call it, Cape Kore? - while really cool and thought out and overall A plus for effort, still not okay. Not a game, here! [ and wow, okay, flashback. why are there so many weirdos who take this game too seriously? she's really done getting kidnapped, and there's no hot fairy here. so immediate negative points. ]

The wrist communicator is really cool. Feeling a little Might Morphin, just without the ti kwan do or spandex suits. Not that I want the suits, but just, if you're going to go half-way might as well go the full way. Go big or go home. Right? [ and at this point she's just kind of babbling. someone's starting to feel really, really nervous. ] I'm serious, guys. Not funny. I just- home? Yeah? Please?

[ there's a moment where she bites her lower lip, looking off and around her - seeing only a cape and a lighthouse and totally unable to drop that 'Big Brother is Watching' feeling creeping down the back of her neck. after the moment is over, she closes her eyes, as if she's finally convincing her to say something she'd been worried about saying.

and, with her eyes closed (though her left does peek open to the camera), she continues. while she is secretly hoping no one answers this last bit because that would not be good. really really not good. ]

And Sam and Dean, if you two are here...help?

They did, huh? Good for them. [He's sure it doesn't mean everything's gonna be sunshine and rainbows, but it does beat another Apocalypse. Besides, he's not exactly keeping up-to-date on the future. He was interested initially but since then everything seems to have -- not necessarily gone downhill, but at least not substantially improved.] Probably woulda been good if they'd managed not to fuck everything up in the first place, but at least they didn't completely screw the pooch.

Not to blow my own trumpet, but yes, I expect it is. I'm happy to do autographs, if you got something you'd like signing. [He waggles his eyebrows suggestively. Ah - asshole to hitting on the newbie in the space of just a few minutes, and somehow without actually stopping being an asshoe. Go figure.] Loki's the current favourite. Course, you can call me whatever you like.

[intraining]

They're really not half bad. You might have a prior grudge with them due to the whole Apocalypse thing in the first place, but they try. A for effort, right? [ why is she trying to argue with an angel who she only knows via fanfiction, again? who really knows. ]

I'm not really the autograph type. [ which is a complete lie, but that road was steering towards a ball-game that charlie does not play for. sorry, bro. ] But it's always good to know there's an angel hanging around. Good luck, right? Or at least a party, if the books were anything to go by you totally know how to throw one. [ girls and candy? SIGN HER UP. ] I might stick to Loki, then. Though you are missing the horns, and the hair, and the whole green and gold kind of color scheme but I guess I can let that slide.

[hung_garian]

A for effort, sure, D for actual effect. Guess which impresses me more. [Of course, he's generally on the Winchesters' side where it counts. He just enjoys bitching about them, and Dean in particular has been seriously in his bad books lately.]

They are and I do. Alas, not everyone here is as enthusiastic about ice cream and orgies as I am, but I'm working on winning some more folks over to my way of thinking. [He's not, or at least he's not having much success. That being said, he thinks there might be enough interested parties to actually get around to organising an orgy at some point. He makes a mental note to suggest it as loudly and publicly as he can.] And don't feel obliged to stick to Loki if you can come up with something more creative. I'm also currently going by Pendragon, Gwydion and Britney Spears. Possibly a few others too - it's so difficult to keep track.

[intraining]

Harsh man. [ but whatevs. she can handle character hate. lord knows she has to get up in arms about enough of it online. ]

Well, if the girls are hot count me in. [ wow charlie you talk a big game here. but she can pull it off with one of those nonchalant shrugs. and then a curious eye-brow raise. ] More creative, you say? Because I could come up with something. Don't know if you'd actually be interested in it, but- [ well, the man angel did say he was going by britney spears. ] Oops I Did it Again Britney or Toxic Britney?

[hung_garian]

Who d'you take me for, Hodr? Of course the girls are hot. Everyone's hot. Best thing about this place is whoever brought us here is extremely shallow. [Well, perhaps it's coincidence. But it's difficult not to notice that the people here are predominantly very attractive... not that he's complaining, not in the slightest.] I think Toxic's more me, don't you? But I'll go with whichever Britney isn't bald and crazy. Not sure even I could pull off that look.

[intraining]

Best thing or only good thing? Because there's a difference there. Can't say I'll complain about either but still.

[ charlie's seen a bit of it, yes, but she hasn't really gotten the full effect of who is here. little wrist communicators can only do so much. ]

I wouldn't want to assume, but Toxic was a good era for her. You could pull it off, with a little more hair and some sparkly skin suits.

[hung_garian]

Oh, there are other good things. No Apocalypse, plenty of alcohol, real strong community spirit...

[Plenty of angels who don't want to kill each other and are inexplicably willing to forgive him, but that's not the sort of thing one mentions to strangers.]

I'll keep that in mind, sugar. Sparkly skin suits can go on the bucket list, though thinking back to the eighties, I'm not sure they're entirely flattering.

[intraining]

[ strangers? and here they're talking about having orgies together. rude. ]

Oh. Good. So at least I can drink away the fear and horror and feeling of constantly being watched. And you never know - the eighties are making a comeback. Though whether or not they should is a question for the ages.

[hung_garian]

Well, you can until your pal Willie Stokes drinks the bar dry. Should take him at least another day though, if you leave time for him passing out at some point, so you've got a little while. And FYI, the eighties ended for a reason. Let's give 'em the respect they deserve by letting them stay gone, hm?

[intraining]

Just enough time to get settled, perfect. Might even be able to make a grocery run before I get there too. And whoa, hey, I'm not saying I am bringing back the eighties. I prefer my technology sleek and my hair tame, thank you.

[hung_garian]

You sure? I'm not wearing a skin suit without backup, honey.

[intraining]

Both of us can't wear the skin suits.

[hung_garian]

I guess not. How embarrassing would it be if we both showed up wearing the same thing, right?

[intraining]

It wouldn't be awful. Think of the fans. It'd be like a bad episode of Glee.

[ not that she...watches that. or anything. ]

[hung_garian]

Or, as we civilised people say, an episode of Glee.

[intraining]

Whoa, whoa. [ she will fight this fight if she has to. ] Seasons one and two were great.

[hung_garian]

Sure, if you're interrogating a prisoner who just won't crack - unlike the cast's whiny pubescent voices - and you need something more painful than plain old thumbscrews.

[intraining]

Faithfully was television gold, so I don't know what planet your tastes are from.

[hung_garian]

Mars. Not Venus.

[intraining]

That's obvious enough.

[hung_garian]

Then my views on Glee should come as no surprise.

[intraining]

[ sigh. ]

Alright, I'll call truce here. But only because Glee is the greyest line of television you can draw. You have been spared.

[hung_garian]

Your mercy knows no bounds, majesty.

[intraining]

[ regal bow. ahhh she missed that title. ]

I do what I can for the good of my subjects.

[hung_garian]

[If only Gabriel knew she was Queen of Moondor. He'd be unstoppable in his... well, some people might call it mockery, but y'know, it'd be the affectionate kind.]

I'm sure you do.
