[ 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.

( so guess who's totally in the next room over, sees this, and decides that he needs to weigh in.

through the network.

and not face-to-face. )

Dude.

Stop being rude to the bugs.

( you can probably hear him chuckling to himself through the wall. )

oh for fucks sake sam

are you being seri

[ ahem. AHEM. give him a second because this is a ridiculous game and god, he's not going to laugh okay!!

stupid fireflies! ]

-- I can hear you!

( abrupt silence from the other side of the wall! but damn it, he's still grinning like a motherfucker. )

I'm an advocate for insect rights.

You're being unfair.

( help this isn't going to last very long but he's going to try his damndest to take it as far as he can!

also there's another jar of fireflies next to him, so ... yeah, that might be adding to this situation juuuust a little. )

[ don't even sammy, he can still hear you BREATHING.

... except not really, that's not true, but he'd like to believe it is by way of big brother intuition or something fancy like that. ]

how??

is it cause theyre nightlights with wings

[ He hates this infernal device, really he does but this deserves a comment all the same. ]

Thank you! Finally someone else sees the obvious.

[ Aw yeah, now we're cookin' with gas. That happy moment when someone agrees with you. And he's guessing you aren't agreeing with the 'fireflies are silly' business. ]

glad to know someone agrees. this sorta thing isnt usually handed out for free

( dean that's creepy.

even if it is big brother intuition or something ridiculous like that. )

It's not their fault they're here.

( you're about to start arguing with someone that could have had a full ride to stanford law. do you really wanna do this. )

You seriously never caught any when we were kids?

[ Clever lad. ]

Isn't usually? More like isn't ever. There's always a catch and they love to lay the hooks in the sweetest enticement.

[ While it's true that Lucifer knows a thing or two about temptations, he's usually fairly upfront about his dealings. At least, that's what he'll say about the matter. ]

Glad to hear you aren't buying it.

[ it's not creepy shut up.

and what are you even talking about, when doesn't he take a prime opportunity to argue with sam? ]

Are we really having this conversation?

[ it's not so much shouted as it is... y'know, kinda shouted at the wall sam is hiding behind. ]

[ He tries. ]

theres probably one god out there thatll make the argument that they just do it to get their jollies but ill believe it when i see it.

but yeah no, this? i dont believe for a second that it isnt coming with some kinda strings attached.

( it's kinda creepy.

now, if only dean could see him peering at the wall that separates them, just short of laughing himself stupid.

it's these damned fireflies. )

Looks like it.

( he was so close to opening his mouth. so close. )

More than a few actually

[ Conversation for another time. ]

That is a constant since the beginning of creation. The ones who offer hope are particularly given to that trick. Easier to lure in mindless sycophants when you promise them what they want to hear.

[ why does he even associate you is the real question here. ]

didnt know it was a rite of passage

( because he's family and you love him and you'd be a broken mess without him and you know it, dean winchester. )

I didn't say it was but now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure even Dad caught fireflies in a jar when he was a kid.

[ that is a bold faced lie!!! ]

oh dont pull that one on me

[ Tell him more!! ]

sure except its real easy to get addicted to that kinda crap yourself.

Which? Sycophants or hope?

sycophants, but you could probably make the same argument for hope

Oh! Yes, gods love to collect sycophants, it's like that mortal game about collecting all the ... well, you know what I mean.

On the other side you have mortals and their desperate need for hope, often times grabbing at any available straw without fully vetting what it entails.

[ Oh he's going to eat those words. ]

Anyway ... long story short, good on you for being suspicious of our little insect infestation.

( are you sure it's not an italicized lie? )

What? I'm just saying. There wasn't a whole lot to do back then. He had to entertain himself somehow.

that mortal game?

[ Buddy you just outed yourself. Like, twice over. ]

but yeah i know what you mean. be pretty ashamed of myself if i wasnt suspicious.

[ Outed himself? He never lies about it. People just usually don't believe him when he tries to explain it to them. ]

Yes, you know the one with the odd little creatures and you ... never mind.

Is that why you have a collection of your own then?

[ it could be any of the above probably. ]

you know he was listening to shit on the transistor

yeah yeah i know. i dont play it, but i know

the fireflies? sure. wanted to see what the fuss was about.

( i'm appalled that didn't even get a pity laugh, that was golden. )

I forgot about that.
