I want to--Um...

I feel like life would be improved here if we all played more games, and... [ Kate, why are you making him do this? ] I-I wanted to ask if anyone else had any games that they could teach us. Party games, this time, not card games. Like Twister.

[ He glances off screen cautiously, then looks back, trying to seem more courageous on the subject than he is. ]

Kate thinks that life here would be much improved if we all played more together, and I have to agree with her. Play is important...for the well being of people, especially those who don't have anything else to occupy their time.

So...that is to say, if we could organize a...party, I suppose, everyone would be invited. We could hold it at the bar.

[ Yep, that's it. ]

I would hope so. But you seemed nervous.

Video

[strangelic]

I am. A little. I'm concerned that I might upset my friend.

Video

[benumbing]

Does your friend have something against fun?

[strangelic]

Our last game of Twister didn't go so well.

[Jack clears his throat gently, really just trying to cover up his urge to laugh. He can see that Castiel is taking this very seriously.]

Did someone end up in the hospital?

[strangelic]

[ It's serious. It's very serious! Who said it wasn't serious?! ]

No, I--not that kind of not well. Uh. It doesn't matter, it's enough to say that he wouldn't be immensely fond of the reminder. It might be more respectful for me to have forgotten that the game existed at all, but Kate insisted.

Explain to him that you're just the messenger, and that it's in poor taste to shoot the messenger - which I'm sure your friend wouldn't do anyway.

Video

[strangelic]

He is very trigger happy, I wouldn't out it past him.

Video

[benumbing]

Have you considered new friends?

Video

[strangelic]

Yes. I'm trying to make new friends now.

[ Obviously. ]

Video

[benumbing]

I hope he's not the jealous type.

Video

[strangelic]

[ He thinks about it for a second. Is Dean the jealous type? It occurs to him that he doesn't really know.

So he opts for: ]

I don't think so. If he were, how would I know?

Video

[benumbing]

[He thinks there'd be a body count, for one thing. But he doesn't actually say that.]

It would show in different ways. He would be a bitch to your new friends. He might even give you the cold shoulder. Demand more of your time. Is any of this familiar?

Video

[strangelic]

Well... that would depend on what "give you the cold shoulder" means. The others don't sound like Dean. He's always very friendly.

Video

[benumbing]

Ignoring you, basically. Pretending that you're not even in the room.

Video

[strangelic]

Oh. Well... I suppose recently he's been avoiding spending time with me. Is that... Does that sound right?

Video

[benumbing]

It sounds suspiciously close. Did he give you a reason for it?

Video

[strangelic]

No, but as I say, our last game of Twister didn't go so well. First and last, really.
