((AU Nexus [musebox] Dean is awake and aware now.))

[born_a_ramblin_man]

Great. Our resident dragon pal just might get her friend back. We'd like the extra help. I'm sure he's got to be an interesting kinda guy, having to make a pact with her to save both their lives to take on a massive as hell cult army... [Even though it didn't go so great in their favor.]

Way ahead of you, Mun. We'll have to explain everything about the Terminator Messiah and his freak shows. Absolutely. He'll get it.

Right now, I have to ask; could you get that fox with the headphones to listen to you better? Not that I hate him giving you music ideas. They're not always great ones, but seriously. [He starts looking more serious now.]

This crazy war's not gonna end all by itself, and we both know it.

So, how 'bout you hurry your ass up and let me out more? Put your foot down, and take charge.

He doesn't listen to all of us. I've had to drown out that techno with some real music. [Not that he doesn't mind cranking his own favorite tunes every now and then. It's just that most techno music, to him, is crap--no matter how much Mun would disagree with him on the subject.]

Dean don't mess with your mun when it comes to music...mine had to work out a compromise with me...and I'm still hearing "Row, row, row your boat" in my head because of it.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Say what? Okay, that's even worse, and causes him to raise an eyebrow at.]

Dude, seriously? [He grins, because he visualizes something amusing. Likely stupid, but still amusing.] Of all things, it has to be a kid's song?

[notarambler]

She works with kids man, she has to listen to kids music to pick songs and it's hard to do at work since she gets interrupted all the time. So she has a kid's song playlist on her phone and Youtube. She once hummed the Smurf's theme for a month.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

Oh, so she's a babysitter. No wait, uh, daycare person? [Yep, that's right Dean. Okay, so it's not exactly on some dumb and silly torture thing he's going through. He's both glad and disappointed on that at once.] Mine was for a little while, until the parents stopped bringing their kids over for some reason.

...Now mine is probably thinking of a stupid punk song she knows about the cartoon. A school friend of hers was in a band. [Punk rock isn't all that great to him either.]

[notarambler]

Librarian actually it's why picking me up was so easy. She reads books to the kids and stuff.

[Sam laughs.]

Aw come on punk isn't that bad.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Yeah? Well, why his mun found it easy to pick Dean is still pretty much a mystery to him. Not that they have a lot in common. She also only like a third of the music he likes.]

[Dean isn't going to mention those times Mari kinda tricked him into like Audioslave, and one song by The Offspring. Nope, that would only give both Sam and his mun leverage to get the one up on him. All this he's aware of.]

Dude. I think it sucks. Some of it is mixed in with pop, which sucks more. Punk mixed with ska's really lame, and that's the kind of music Urban Sombrero did. [He shakes his head.] It's not even all that great of a name for a band.

[notarambler]

Sometimes I think you like complaining about music just to complain Dean.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

At least it takes my mind off the cold, harsh reality we're in. [He sounds a little more serious there.]

[notarambler]

Point taken...though compared to where I came from this is down right boring. Even with the dragon.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

Dude. A really weird sentient world gone tropical island with insanity goddesses, a dragon, a Terminator lunatic, and magic users? That's the exact opposite of boring, Sammy... [What the hell has his brother been smoking? There's never been a dull moment as far as Dean has known, even when it's gotten down to just hangin' out with their friends.]

[His brows rise upward slowly, as his expression would read, Huh, well that's interesting.] Seems like Angelus will be seeing her pact partner buddy again after all. My mun just confirmed it.

[notarambler]

[Sam grins, Dean really has no idea what his life was like between dealing with Mari popping in then back out, Nathan poking his nose into things and the body swapping which has yet to be fixed. Never a dull moment.]

Good does that mean she's gonna be less cranky now?

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Dean really doesn't, but then again, would he want to know?

He's hoping Mari's still all right. That she's handling herself, and not walking into any problems she won't be able to handle.]

[Dean gives a look that says, I doubt that.] Mun says, "maybe not anytime soon". Meaning no.

[He wonders if Sam somehow learned from his other self on why the dragon doesn't tend to trust or like many humans.]

[notarambler]

That's a pretty big no then. Like a really big Bobby style no. I hate those kind of no/s

[born_a_ramblin_man]

It may be some time before she likes anymore of us... Mari and Zuko are better than nobody.

We still have one of the two peacemakers, and I hope that's not going to change anytime soon.

[No worries Dean, it won't. Better yet, you should hear it from Cloud, Jack or Joseph later on what Nexus, through Rosso the Crimson, has said.]

[notarambler]

Dude you know you just cursed us by saying this right? Think about our muns and what they do every time they get together? Then punch yourself hard.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[He pauses, and gets what his brother's saying.] Okay. I'll take back the very last thing I said.

All that's left now is to wait. Mine still has to set accounts for the fire and earth bending kids.

[Okay, maybe Sokka too. He's only good for amusement, as well as hunting and cooking dinner. Dean can't predict him coming up with strategies to all their current problems.]

[notarambler]

Really? The benders...that's a pretty cool cartoon. My mun watched that for a while.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

Yeah, The Last Airbender. Mine says she has most of that series...

[notarambler]

Mine really used to like that show.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

Used to? [Not so much anymore?]

[notarambler]

Yeah she stopped watching after book two school and stuff kept he busy and she forgot when it was on.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

My mun says you could catch up online. She could probably find whatever site it was she found that helped her catch up on book 1 of Korra.

[girlwithsecrets]

Real music? I have to ask....what kind? (She is a bit amused by his rant.)

[born_a_ramblin_man]

Metallica. Motorhead. Foreigner. AC/DC. Pink Floyd... Y'know, the classics. [He got his music taste after listening to a lot of what his dad had liked listening to.]

Her Mortal Kombat remix is kinda cool, but I can't say I care for the rest of what she's finished and is still working on.

[columblind]

So whaddaya think real music is?

[as for him, his whole wardrobe's very grunge; two guesses what his music tastes are, and the first don't count]

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[He'll name some of his favorite groups that quickly come to mind.]

[He'll give you a curious look before he say some favorite groups that quickly come to mind.]

Rolling Stones. Whitesnake. Bad Company. Foreigner... [He grins a bit.] Can never go wrong with some B.O.C. either.

[His younger brother calls it Mullet Rock. Dean calls it the classics. It's such a shame there aren't many people he knows who enjoy the same things he does. (He puts up with Mun partially because she likes a third of what he likes.)

He may like one Offspring song and Audioslave through Mun and one his close friends--but he'd never stray far from classic rock.]

[columblind]

[he's nodding along until you get to BoC. then he makes an exaggerated grimace]

Dude, ambient and electronica? [he shakes his head] Guess I can forgive ya for that, 'cause rock's cool. But come on. [he grins] Ya can't beat Kurt Cobain.

[he lucked out that his mun likes Nirvana too, but she's more into alternative/pop rock, chillwave, ambient, and yes, even the dreaded...techno, ugh. someone shoot him. again]

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[He'll just assume you are talking about his mun. DUDE, "Don't Fear the Reaper"? "Burnin' For You"? "Godzilla"? Blue Oyster Cult is freakin' awesome!]

Her music taste just isn't as simple as mine. She's into the corny music too. Y'know, show tunes. [Disney, and that Seussical one. He's even encountered a muse from the latter. As cute as she looks, Dean doesn't like it when Mayzie sings!]

Oh, and anime music. [Eye rolls.] She doesn't even know much Japanese to begin with. It's crazy.

[Haha, don't bash too hard Dean, or she might be tempted to put you into the RP Crack Meme.]

[Ugh. Dean has to frown when you mention Nirvana, kid. (Doesn't she have a book about that band? He can't really remember about that right now.)] I'm not into them. Mun sure as hell is, but not me. How can you understand what he's singing?
