[ Dean's got his device set up so that this isn't all Blair Witch Project (thank god) but he's got a jar of his own, which he's... gently shaking around a couple of fireflies in. Not like Sid and his toys or anything here, considering they're still alive, but he's cheerfully giving them a rock and roll. ]

I don't get the bug thing, I really don't--

[ After which he sets the jar down with a slight clatter, where the fireflies can finally carry on flitting about. ]

I mean, this is like crack to kids, right? Catching these things, watching 'em fly around? Never understood the appeal. [ Says the man with fireflies in a jar but he's curious okay, don't judge. ]

And then with the warm and fuzzies... I mean- C'mon. Never known a God to offer that up without some kinda hand being played.

SURE IT IS.

[hollowly]

( well at least that's ... something. just gonna have to try harder. )

Thanks.

So back to YOU and your aversion to lightning bugs.

I know it's weird, and there's a good chance that things'll get worse once they're gone, but what's wrong with a little mood boost?

( under his breath, only to himself: )

You need it.

PERFECTLY!!

[kickingand]

[ are you trying to say something about his mood, sam. is that what this is?

IS IT? dean just hums a quiet sigh to himself, tapping on the glass of his jar and quirking a smile to himself. ]

i dont have an aversion

and theres nothing wrong. until we have to start payin for it

YEAH OK.

[hollowly]

( what are you kidding he would never say something about his big brother's mood. never in a million years. that's just silly.

he sighs to himself, because dean's just made an incredibly valid point, but the fight isn't out of him yet. )

Maybe we won't, this time. We've already been through enough, maybe karma will start being nice to us.

( sam. come on now. you're never going to be that lucky. )

:3

[kickingand]

ok and thats happened exactly how many times before?

[ C'mon, sam, you know he's right on this one. even if he doesn't turn out to be right, he's still.... going to be right. ]

you little shit.

[hollowly]

( yeah yeah he knows he's right don't rub it in.

he's just trying really hard to stay positive.

it's taxing. )

... So we don't exactly have a good track record behind us.

Things could change.

( bless you, sam winchester. )

i know.

[kickingand]

[ Sam, when has being positive ever worked out well for them. When!! Dean's just going to sound exasperated now, even in text format.

Your positivity is hard work sometimes. ]

and your banking on that because of fireflies??

[hollowly]

( look, just because being positive doesn't have the best track record with him doesn't mean that it won't eventually pay off. because being negative never helped anybody.

so you can just go ahead and hush.

be exasperated in text format. )

I didn't say it was JUST because of the fireflies.

[kickingand]

then its because were stuck in a cave?

[ therein making the point that, uh, how can you be positive considering the situation they're in now.

negative or not, so far things aren't exactly looking up. ]

[hollowly]

( HANDS IN THE AIR WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SUCH A NEGATIVE NANCY, HUH.

all you get is hearing a sigh through the wall. )

[kickingand]

Really, Sam? Really?

[ That's all you got, a heavy sigh?

FINE. Maybe he'll just... go for a grumpy walk, then. Grumpy grumpy. ]

[hollowly]

Why can't you just accept the thought that not everything is always gonna suck for us?

( yeah, he's finally deigning to speak up and yell through the wall.

but you go on that grumpy walk. and get all the grump out before you come back.

grumpy. )
