So I got a question.

[ He drags a hand down his face; he's tired and not entirely sure why he has to be the one to ask this. But apparently he has to be the one to ask this because he's worried and people should be informed.

But seriously, this is so far out of his comfort zone that we're in the Andromeda galaxy, so just... give him a second. He's not used to talking about this to the mass public. ]

How many of you've had something shitty from home show up here? [ .... Sigh. Okay. Too vague. Try again.

-- Once again, he does not like this. ] And by something I mean a creature, a being, some fucker you never wanted to see again. Not some person you've decided is the scum of the Earth- [ here's lookin' at you, Ruby. And yes, he means that rather purposefully ] - because i'm not up here to ask you about that chick you didn't like that one time who's made an entrance.

I mean monsters. Shit that does more than go bump in the night. Because if we all start bringing this kinda crap from where we come from, we're gonna have a problem and not nearly enough people are gonna know what to do with it. I mean, just counting what could come outta my own world-- [ grumble grumble. ]

So what I wanna know is if this's happened more than once. We already got enough here to keep track of, I just wanna know if anything that people know more about's followed you here.

If you wanna get real theoretical, or uh- theological, maybe, you can ask yourself how creation itself turned out so goddamn different in two alternate worlds. Because that's a weird one.

[ Because in two worlds were Lucifer exists in both-- yeah, Dean's not expending that much energy thinking about it. Nope. It's just too miserable. ]

But sure yeah, here's hoping.

[ Gansey shrugs. Getting theoretical is his specialty. ]

Well, assuming that there’s something to intelligent design, maybe the Creator had different ideas for how creation might look, and as a result, we have alternate universes.

I can’t imagine what the Church would have to say about that, though.

I can imagine a whole lotta things the Church might wanna say.

Are you involved with them? With the work you do, I mean.

Yeah, no. The Church and I haven't seen eye to eye since, oh... forever.

They don't approve of what you do?

They don't know about what we do. And if they did- pretty sure they'd be kicking themselves in the ass for it.

I would have thought it would be their business to know. I also thought that demons had to be exorcised, and that a Priest would need to do it. Am I wrong?

[ Dean does one of those awkward half-coughy laugh sort of things. ]

Ohh, buddy- wrong where I come from, at least. If we had to call a Priest every time we up and exorcised some punk ass demon... well, just say, it ain't happening.

[ Drily: ]

Hollywood has obviously steered me wrong. I thought you had to be ordained to make a spirit listen to you like that!

That said, I know witches dabble in taking control of demons. It's dangerous for them. I imagine it's dangerous for you, too.

[ He snorts. ] Don't believe everything the movies tell you. Even Anne Rice got her shit wrong.

And yeah- witches are a whole 'nother deal. But we don't usually take control of demons, we just.. try to get rid of 'em, where we can.
