[ We’re going a little Blair Witch here with the shaky handheld camera as Dean moves through his apartment, turning on his device and squinting at it with all the spite he can manage. No really, dude looks unhappy as fuck.

Public service announcement incoming in three… t- ]

For those who knew him, Sam’s gone. [ Granted, names aren’t really a top priority around here, so that might not be the best method of delivering this message. ]

Better known as Sasquatch? The Jolly Green Giant? L'Oreal superstar? Call him whatever you want, but he’s out. Figured i’d pass along the info just in case he offered to help anyone paint their ceilings.

[ Stupid jokes make Dean feel better, but that’s all he’s got to say on the matter, which is why he chucks his device onto the couch, still turned on, flashing the blur of a symbol on the ceiling for a moment. Except--

Just when it seems like the device is going to time out, it is righted again by the sudden appearance of Castiel in the video feed. He looks worried, apologetic, his eyes flitting off screen. ]

-- Dean, you were supposed to offer them our help, if they find themselves possessed, or pursued by these demons. [ Offscreen a grunt can be heard, noncommittal and unbothered.

Cas looks back at the screen. ] Dean is a professional demon hunter, and I have been fighting them all my life. We both know magic that seems to be effective on them, and we are willing to teach others how to fight back. For example, this is a devil's trap. [ The camera scrolls around to show more of the pattern on the ceiling from earlier. It's shaped like this. ] If you draw one on the ceiling or the floor, even if it is concealed, it should trap the demon--supposing you can trick them into entering it.

[ Since Dean is busy finding liquor off screen… ] And I think it would be good for Dean to keep busy, considering our recent loss.

[ Buuuut now Dean has returned, peering over Cas’ shoulder into the device- ] I can actually hear you, you know. [ After which he plucks it from his hands and finally turns off the feed. ]

[ooc; dean is black, cas is blue! expect tagbacks from both boys! ]

What else did you expect when you threw the thing away while it was still on?

[ Kanda's not going to offer sympathies, because it's not going to get anything done, or make anything better, or bring anyone back. To him, it was a waste of breath. But still, he couldn't resist the light jab, because honestly.... Yeah, you left it on, you subjected yourself to that hijacking, Dean. ]

[kickingand]

[ Oh hay bro. And really, he's not actually looking for sympathies in the first place, straight up honest. It sucks, but what're you gonna do about it. Besides, it's not like he's incapable of being without his brother - life goes on. He survived a year in Purgatory without him, nbd. ]

Kinda hoping it turned itself off.

[ Sup, how's that alcohol working out for ya? Not that Kanda ever wants to drink enough to experience another hangover. God his first one hit him like a truck...

But anyway, life went on, it was time to move on with it and not dwell over it, which he can see Dean was eager to do. Kanda's giving a slight shrug though, reaching for his own water to sip on. ]

Not so lucky with that this time. It could have been worse.

[kickingand]

[ Hey now, he's off the booze....... okay that's a lie. Dean never really ever stops drinking, no matter what, but at the very least he isn't guzzling it down right now. There are bigger concerns and while it sucks ass that Sammy's gone, he can't be too upset that at least he figures he's gone back to where he's supposed to be in the first place.

But Dean still snorts at that, looking somewhat ambivalent. ]

It could always be worse, but I dunno- you thinkin' i'd drop some private conversation here instead?

[beanstalk]

[ Hey man, he's not judging. People do how they do, Kanda never bothers to question it. Especially here, because this place was its own special kind of twisted. But that's what Kanda figures too, that people just go back to where they belong when the Door decides to take them back. Better than ending up dead, in any case.

Kanda's just offering a shrug at that. ] Who knows, shit happens.
