[Her blindfold's turning an unappealing vaguely purple hue from teal tears soaking the red fabric--but she's totally stopped caring. Really. Honest.

...

Stabbity. Stabbity-spider.]

I am calm! The only ones that are calmer than me in here are the dead guys. I'm just waiting for someone to implode.

_{[Oh great, another one that looks like she's in even worse shape than all of these idjits combined.]}

I heard one of 'em yelling about a retcon so it don't look like that will be how it ends for ya at least. Honestly I don't understand like ninety percent of what any of these boys are goin' on about.

_{[He's just gonna hold out his bottle of whiskey and an old but clean handkerchief so she can try and pull herself together a little before the blindfold gets any grosser.]}

[After a moment's hesitation, she takes the offered items.]

TH4NKS?

[What's this stuff? She blows her nose on the handkerchief (now it's teal too, teal is just going to get everywhere today) and sniffs at the bottle.]

It's not convincing when you say "I'm calm" and there's spit coming out.

Back up a little bit.

Makes the pain a little less noticeable.

_{[And it looks like she needs about a gallon of it or so. He'd tell her to suck it up, that everyone dies, that's just the nature of things, but he doubts it'll help a damn thing.]}

There is not spit comin' out.

_{[Grumping and would-be-subtle wiping of his mouth.]}

Right.

Okay, let's start at the beginning.

What beginning? Everyone in here that's grey all simultaneously flipped their damn lids, half of 'em got some shiny new puncture wounds, and there's a couple kids younger'n you arguing about what happened to 'em all. Somethin' about doomed timelines and a condescension and damned if I can get one of 'em to sit 'n explain any'a this shit to me.

Well, cept this jesus-lookin' one. He seems more'n content to sit n' talk until he's blue in the face.

_{[Loud shrugging.]}

Guess that's what I get, bunkin' down in this damn loony bin.

It's probably safer in there, Bobby.

Trust me, there's some nasty stuff going down on the outside. Get this, there are these "games" that are dedicated just to...

[Uncomfortable clearing of the throat.]

Well, let's just say Dean would be very happy in some of them.

Because they're idiots. Don't you know idiots tend to flip their shit at everything? [ Yeah she knows cursing is something that the age group she looks wouldn't normally do, but let's face it she's not human and really doesn't want to pretend to be.]

Sounds like some sort of battle happened there. They'll get over it at some point.

[ At the last question Skuld giggles. ] For the info guy Hunters tend to refer to the most you aren't that tech savvy are you Mr. Singer? Upd8's are the loser way of saying Update. You can't kill it. You just have to wait it out and hope that the mun doesn't do it to you. Usually they're not that great. [ She debates how much to say and decides leaving it there's better than letting it slip about his future. Seeee not all supernatural beings are dicks. ]

And I'll just assume you're part of the wierdness around here. Never met a Sam that wasn't at least a head taller'n me.

_{[He's staying far away from ALL OF THE GAMES. There's already someone in here going into The Box. He has heard some shit.]}

She probably doesn't drink the same kind I do. Try n' pace yourself a little n' you can have that. Just don't kill whatever passes for your liver before you get outta this cluster.

_{[Uppity little goddess, ain't she? Of course, it's not Bobby's problem just now. No muse-killing unless it's in actual threads. Mun has forbidden it and for all intents and purposes, mun is god that's just about as reckless as a certain angel.]}

I wouldn't call 'em idiots, just children for the most part.

I'd rather stick to my books, thank you. I don't go near what I've been informed are "fandoms" because I saw what happened when the boys encountered their own fandom. If that's Supernatural I hate to get anywhere nearer what counts as...

Homestuck?

...

Yeah that fandom.

[ Aw Bobby you're missing out on fun. But then again Skuld's mun's head's a scary place at times, more so without chocolate. Best thing pups come back from the dead, kinda like revolving doors. ]

Is there a difference?

[ Skuld actually shudders at the fandom name. ] I am SO glad that my mun can't get into that one. Bad enough she's into some really creepy shit, like one involving zombies running around. Disgusting creatures. But Homestucks... give me migraines.

[ If she wasn't worried she'd get stabbed in the back she'd give Bobby a sympathetic hug. ]

Believe me sister, I'm gettin' one just bein' with these kids myself. You wouldn't believe the sheer amount of internalized screaming when this last thing dropped. Lots of punctuation being slung around. It was not pretty.

But they ain't all that's in here, they're just the majority. Got a couple zombies in here myself. Ones that function a little differently from one-another even. Kid one can speak n' think n' all that good junk, other one looks like your traditional movie shambler. Kid tends to avoid him. Too uncanny valley for his liking.

_{[Shrugging. He's doing a lot of it lately. He also probably wouldn't immediately respond to being hugged. It's not a thing he's used to anymore.]}

[The would-be cackles half-resemble choked sobs... it's a work in progress.]

Keeps the poison from killin' you outright, in humans.

_{[His brow is creeping up the longer he listens to her. Man, even for someone like the rest of these yahoos, she seems to be particularly hard-up. He reaches out and pats her back.]}

Wouldn't suggest it until you know you wouldn't set yourself on fire. I'd show ya how but last time I ever tried I nearly caught my beard.

I'd say liquor helps, but you might be immune to it's bonuses by now just dealing with the tree and yapper dog. [ The Sam she shares head space with is probably face palming at that description of him and his brother. ]

Don't have any, just a soldier that deals with them and one... well not sure what the hell she is anymore all I know is the girl's not exactly human. It's just they get into a mess with zombies and they bring that dead smell in.

[ She risks it, poor guy seems like he needs one and not like she's being threatening. She leaves that for Fluffies (angels) because getting their feathers ruffled's fun. ]

[Apologetic half-grin.]

Yeah basically. Also makes cholesterol, blood clots and stores vitamins. Pretty useful, all things told.

_{[And yet here he is, systematically killing his with, you guessed it, all this whiskey.]}

Better to be steady when you're dealin' with fire, you're right about that.

...

Got a clown in here askin' that you don't grill him up though.

_{[He can't help but chuckle a little at that description. Accurate, all things told.]}

I got a stash of stronger stuff around here somewhere, just gotta dig it out n' make sure one'a these idjits doesn't make off with it. Heard tell he had a bad history with alcohol for a while there. Ain't my place to pry in that mess though.

Pretty sure that dead smell from the older guy ain't gonna come out any time soon. At least the kid was preserved well enough that stink ain't much of a problem.

_{[Except Henry's giving him that withering look again. He's pretty sure the kid knows he's a monster-killing kind of guy.

...well, he certainly was getting hugged. By a Norn in the shape of a little girl. He wished he could say that was the strangest thing that had happened to him lately. Have a pat for your trouble.]}

[Welp, someone just reopened the sluice gates.]

[She quickly sticks the bottle back in her mouth.]

Might wanna slow down on that 'fore it makes you puke, kid.

Nah, this one in here looks like about the sorriest mother I ever saw, mopin' about shit he did.

_{[He's starting to get the feeling that he needs to expand his library a little more to include the trolls' mythos as well, just so he's up to speed on what the hell anyone is talking about.]}

1T C4N DO TH4T?

[Then what will stop up her mouth and keep her from making an even bigger fool of herself? She's just going to... sit down. Sit down and hide her face in her knees, even if everyone does already know she's crying like a wriggler.]

t3ll h1m 1m sorry too

Been talkin' at these guys a little, now it ain't so weird, n' he's got a hell of a lot on his mind n' even more on his shoulders. Sacrificed himself to try and make up for all that awful shit he pulled once. Now I dunno about you, but I think it's better off left alone. Don't give your demons the satisfaction of acknowledgment.

_{[Because hey, even if that doesn't work for him personally, not everyone was in the same situation he was, just like not everyone knew what she'd gone through, but it's written all over her body language how much it hurts.

He sits down and takes the drink back before she can make herself sick off it, then pats her head, then unties the blindfold and tosses it.]}

You ain't got a damn thing to be sorry for, sweetpea. Survivor's guilt's a bitch though.

[She startles and makes a half-hearted grab for the blindfold when he takes it, but... well, it is getting kind of gross from the tears. She'll alchemize a new one later. She doesn't fight losing the coughbeverage. It hadn't been doing a whole lot for her.]

_{[Just give it a minute to sink into your sponge, kid, you'll wanna fall over soon enough.]}

Alt...? Oh, the timeline stuff. Yeah I dunno, there's just one in here and even if he's not exactly indicative of the whole lot of 'em, he does seem remorseful. I can't imagine he's all that great an actor.

Anyway yeah. Might not happen just like yours did, but the outcome seems to be about the same when it comes to mental state. There's a reason they got wards for this kinda thing.

[...]

Was that a dig at my shoes? You know I can't wear high-heels, Bobby.

Yeah yeah, you'd look better in workboots anyway. Really though, you ever met your guy counterpart? Kid's a friggin' tree that needs a trim.

Oh. Right.

[She's heard of this whole "universe where she's a boy" thing. From the sketchy trenchcoat guy.

...it's unsettling.]

So you're from that world, huh?

[Fall over? Is coughbeverage like soda but for humans? At least it's got cool fire-breathing properties, unlike that gross faygo shit.]

Yep, I'm from that world.

So if you're all...y'know, you, what about Jess?

_{[He has no problems with it if Jess is still a pretty little blonde girl, he's just legitimately curious about that whole thing.]}

Depends who you ask. I ain't ever seen 'em do much good though. Mostly they tend to pump people full'a drugs n' make 'em talk about things they just wanna forget. But they also keep people from hurting themselves so that's somethin'.

[The bitch face is even more extreme in this incarnation.]

What about him?

_{[And now he's reluctant to finish that thought.]}

What, so is everyone switched around? ...am I some grumpy broad?

No. You're just a grumpy...guy.

I suppose I should feel better about being a universal constant.

What can I say, Bobby? You're one of a kind.

That's kind of unfair. I swear the jarheads in here keep finding my stash and moving it. I'm older than them and they still won't even let me have a beer. [ Slightly huffy ]
