[ 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?

[ well crap. thanks, charlie's face. you are literally the sole reason charlie can get absolutely nothing done. ]

Oh! Uh...kind of. [ alright, think through this one. ] Did Dean ever mention Carver Edlund to you? Like...ever?

The author, right?

[She purses her lips a little. She might not know every detail, but she knows enough.]

Wrote those really invasive 'Supernatural' books, didn't he?

Ding ding...ding?

[ we have a winner! though charlie's going to wait and see if jo can put this all together without making charlie sound like she's a total creeper. ]

He stopped publishing them a while ago, but he kept writing all up through the Apocalypse. Ended up on the internet and...yeah.

[Jo winces without meaning to. She can guess where this is going. She'd never really taken the time to probe around and ask if she was in those books, but if they went into as much detail as she'd been lead to believe, then...]

So that's how you know my name. I'm hoping it was a flattering portrayal, at any rate.

[ cue charlie freaking out a little, her hands waving in front of the screen. ]

No, I mean. It was. Totally. You and your mom were some of the most badass hunters in those books. [ because calling them her favorite characters is kind of creepy, right? ]

Really?

[She raises both eyebrows, giving a satisfied sort of smile in reply.]

Glad to hear he hit the nail on the head with the characterization.

[ ~~I totally had a huge crush on you~~ ]

Yeah, by far the best chapters in the series. So I'm definitely fangirling a little right now.

[ well Charlie at least you tried to not sound like a total creep ]

You're kidding, right?

[Forgive her, Charlie, she needs a moment. She's never been a fan-favorite before. She's caught somewhere between flattered and skeptical.]

Well... happy to meet a fan, I guess. Never thought I'd hear myself say that.

I don't kid about fandom.

[ she tries to be really serious with that line, but the fact she breaks into a little smile right afterward kind of ruins it. ]

If it weird you out, I don't have to be a fan. I could just be...a person. Who appreciates your badassness. Through relatively confusing means.

[Jo might not be all that up-to-speed with fandom life and what it entails, but something about the way Charlie says that amuses her all the same.]

Think I like that better. Easier to become friends with people than it is with fans. So I hear, anyway. You know. Once you're a celebrity, they say nobody treats you like a person anymore. We don't have to go that route.

So we're friends?

[ the eyebrow waggle is supposed to let jo know charlie is still kidding around, if she even notices it. not that charlie really minds. she's currently joking around with one of her favorite ~~fictional~~ now real life characters. ]

Yeah, no. I'd rather not be looped in with those crazy celebrity stalking...crazies. [ online stalking is totally different. ]

[Kidding or otherwise, Jo still cracks a smile in reply.]

Sure. Why not? Not like we can afford to do anything but stick together here, anyway.

[With a few notable exceptions. She's still refusing to work with Meg, thanks.]

If it's any consolation, you don't really strike me as the stalker-type.

[ you see this grin? this is a good grin. ]

Sweet.

[ seriously though, jo. she's on your side with the whole meg thing. makes it hard to look at dean sometimes but she'll get over it. hopefully. ]

Really? Oh, good. Good. I work really hard to stay away from the stalker-vibes.

[Thank God, someone who understands where she's coming from. Charlie, you just got promoted from friend to potential best friend.]

I'd call it a success.

I should let you get settled in, but -- you need anything? Any blanks I can try to fill in for you?

[ CHARLIE LIKES THIS PLAN ]

I uh- actually think I'm heading over to your mom's bar. At the moment. [ or will be soon, whoops. ] But I'll let you know.

Yeah? You are?

[Well, that's convenient.]

All right. I'll see you around, I'm sure. Probably sooner rather than later.

She didn't give me much of a choice?

[ oh ellen. ]

Like I'd say no anyway. But yeah, definitely. Will. See you around. [ THE SMOOTHEST, CHARLIE BRADBURY. ]

[She has to smirk a little at that.]

Yeah. That sounds like her.

[Mom doesn't give many people much of a choice in anything.]

Take care out there. You're in good hands.
