So uh... Hey everyone. Again.

[He could probably get a better opening line, but whatever. Moving on.]

I know like, a bunch of people just arrived so... Welcome, I guess. We're still working on the newbie's guide to waking up in a cave-city run by gods, but until then like, if you have any questions I can try and help? Also uh, it's probably safe at this point and we're just being paranoid, but you may want to avoid eating any meat products you find here. For reasons.

[MOVING ON.]

Also uh, sort of related, but I was thinking that maybe before next month we should really... Plan some way to help out? I mean, people just sort of show up and half the time there's monsters too, and... Maybe some sort of organized thing for helping the new people not get like, eaten or whatever would be a good idea.

[This is not exactly his area of expertise, so if other people want to take charge on this he's more than happy to let them, but otherwise he'll try and figure something out. It really seems like something important to get established.]

In uh, a rare moment of good news though, the whole coffee thing worked out. So if you want coffee there's some at Delight's bar now, though you'll have to like... Be kind of patient with me and the others being possibly terrible baristas. Still kind of getting the hang of the whole thing.

[But surely coffee itself is well worth any less-than-practiced customer service; they're at least pretty good at making coffee, including somewhat elaborate drinks, and as far as Chris is aware they're all trying. That's what counts, right?

Right?]

I think that's about it, except for that like... If anyone's curious, the handheld games from the arena this month are just normal games. I thought maybe they'd be some sort of weird alien-versions of them, but I guess not; I took one apart and it was all the expected stuff inside it.

That said I'm totally betting I can beat anyone's high scores.

More people should learn to take it black.

[ Helpful opinions with Dean Winchester. He'll get to the rest of this.... momentarily. ]

[thechoiceisyours]

Well, if there's like, no other choice, sure.

[He's not a huge fan of black coffee unless otherwise necessary and may or may not be that guy who orders ridiculous sugar drinks that cost like seven dollars at Starbucks.]

[kickingand]

[ One day the world will see it his way. One day. ]

Oh c'mon, it's not bad. You learn to like it. [ Says the man who's cool with terrible Motel 6 coffee. ]

[thechoiceisyours]

Dude, I've 'learned' to be vegetarian in this crappy place; I'm not giving up stuffing my coffee full of sugar.

[He will have this luxury damnit.]

[kickingand]

[ Oh god the biggest groan. ]

Don't remind me. Still not over that one yet.

[thechoiceisyours]

[Ah, commiseration.]

Yeah. I mean geez, it's like insult to injury here.

[kickingand]

First they kidnap you, then they take away the burgers.

[thechoiceisyours]

That's like, about as rude as you can get as a host.

[kickingand]

Tell me about it. And i've been to my fair share of shitholes.

[thechoiceisyours]

Are you uh... One of the people here that have been to other dimensions before?

[Or does he mean just other shitholes in general.]

[kickingand]

Other dimensions? No not, ahh- exactly. Not that i'm entirely sure what you mean.

[thechoiceisyours]

I mean like, places like this. Some of the people here ended up in some other world besides their own and then were super unlucky enough to show up here after that.

[kickingand]

Right, then- nope. Never been to a place like this before. This is a new one for me.

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah. Same here.

[Really new.]

I mean like, alternate dimensions and whatever was all sci-fi stuff back home, but then again so were monsters so...

[kickingand]

Best part is once you know they're real? It's something you never.. unknow. Can't brain bleach that one outta your head.

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah.

[And worse, now he wonders if there are more things like the wendigos in his world; why would it be just them, after all?]

My friends and I, um... We found out wendigos existed the night before we got here.

[kickingand]

So they're real in your world, too? Back home? [ Interesting. ] Wendigo's ain't too much fun for monster virgins.

[thechoiceisyours]

[He manages a small grin at that, because it's not really funny but the way Dean put it is.]

Apparently, yeah. The um... The wendigos that were--or are, I guess, since the spirits are probably still around--here are the ones from my world.

[Or at least work exactly the same way, but that's probably more unlikely.]

[kickingand]

You're serious. You think they followed you here?

[ Because hoooo boooooy that could be bad fucking news if any ol' monster's allowed to come creeping through the door. ]

[thechoiceisyours]

I don't know. I mean, there's me and three of my friends here from my world and there's been three more at different times, but um... None of us arrived the month the wendigos apparently got here, I don't think.

[So he's not sure if followed is the right word or not, but the Door definitely seems to like his world at least.]

I'm not sure if like, any of the other monsters here are from anyone's worlds though.

[kickingand]

I'm thinkin' it might be worth asking around. Because if we've got shit comin' in from anywhere, people better start fessing up about what we might have in store.

[ Because right now, all Dean can think of is the Leviathan. ]

[thechoiceisyours]

Probably a good idea, yeah. I was talking to um, a few people here who were planning like, a centralized source of info on the all the monsters that are here so you might want to talk to them? It was Sam and Ciri.

[kickingand]

[ ... snort. ]

Course it was Sam.

[thechoiceisyours]

Do you know him already?

[Connect the dots for Chris here so he can become aware of the dynamic Winchester duo.]

[kickingand]

[ Don't you mean Dastardly Dynamic Duo. ]

Only just his entire life. He's my kid brother.
