Dusting off an old muse

[hasthateffect]

[Aggrivated hunter here.] I don't care. I don't care how much time you do or don't have. The boys need me. Mary needs me.

Make this happen.

[Bobby's just going to throw holy water in your face John.]

[hasthateffect]

[Oh good. It's you. Look how excited he is, Bobby, as he mops water off his face.] We gonna need to run through the whole list, Singer?

[notyourpromdate]

[The excitement is equally reflected in Bobby's face as he hands over the flask. The SILVER Flask because he might be saying no to going through the whole list, he's still going to do it. For shame John, you should know him better than that.]

I'm satisfied. Have a drink, I promise that one's the whiskey.

[hasthateffect]

[He unscrews the flask and tips it back. Grimacing, he hands it back.] Still buying the rotgut and spiking it with holy water. Some things never change.

[notyourpromdate]

Better t'be safe than sorry.

[He takes the flask back and takes a drink himself.]

Now, what the hell are you doin' here?

[hasthateffect]

Hell if I know. I was asleep. [Resting. Finally. Then his mun had to go and talk to Sam and wake his ass up because the boys were having a rough go of it.] Next thing I know, here I am. Dusted off and from what I can tell, getting ready to get sent.. somewhere.

Damned if I know where.

[notyourpromdate]

...I could make a suggestion. Me, th'boys and Mary are all there.

[hasthateffect]

And where's that? [Because Mary being there? All but seals the deal.]

[notyourpromdate]

A little place called maisondeportes.

[hasthateffect]

[A sharp nod.] I'm on my way then.

The boys.. they're all right?

[notyourpromdate]

As well as they can be. Life's been pretty damn tough on all of us last few years, but we're doin' the best we can.

[hasthateffect]

[A pensive nod. It's been rough on all of them.] I know.

At least some of it.

[notyourpromdate]

Some is better than havin' t'explain it all.

[Which he probably won't anyway there are far too many details you don't need to know.]

[hasthateffect]

Cryptic and a pain in the ass. That hasn't changed either.

[notyourpromdate]

Still expectin' me t'spoon feed y'everything y'need t'know.. That hasn't changed either.

[Have a bit of smile. As much as he's surprised to see you, he is sort of glad to see you.]

[hasthateffect]

[And have a grudging sort of smile. You're a pain in the ass, Bobby. But that doesn't mean he doesn't like you.]

Doesn't sound like much has changed for either of us.

[notyourpromdate]

[They have that much in common then. He shrugs and offers the flask again.]

You would not believe the shit we've been through.

[hasthateffect]

So start filling me in. Hit the high points. The rest I'll find out as I go along, but I don't want go flying blind in there.

[notyourpromdate]

Awhell, y'got a chair? Want me t'put on a pot of coffee? This could take a while.

[hasthateffect]

[A wry snort.] I'm back from the dead, Singer. I've got nothing but time.

[notyourpromdate]

Fair point.

[He scrubs a hand over his face. And queue Bobby giving John the TL;DR version of what has been going on the last few YEARS since he's been gone. And because his mun is lazy we're just going to do it the magic RP way. Then he's going to sit back and just let it all process.]
