20: [Video/Action] Open Arms

Feb 28, 2011 21:24

Dean is slumped in one of the easy chairs in his room, seemingly completely oblivious to the camera he's left on the bedside table. It's at enough of an angle that half his face is obscured by the shadows in the dimly-lit room, and the only sources of illumination are the floor lamp off in the far corner, and the soft electric glow of the radio's ( Read more... )

Is there somethin' in the water? 'cause damn, everybody's gotten mopey lately.

And the Journey, really? It's a decent enough band but I'm beginning to wonder if this band ain't just the magical key to men that I've somehow been missin' all this time.

[Sigh.]

Anyway, what's got your goat? You need to talk any?

[Dean has absolutely no idea who this woman is, where she's from, or how she even decided that talking to him in the first place was a good idea, but he's actually grateful for the voice breaking the echoing monotony of Steve Perry's tender, heart-tugging tenor tones in his head. Now that he's been listening to it for two hours, it's hard to get rid of.

Dean chuckles a little.]

If I coulda changed the channel, I would've. [He shifts a little in his chair, turning to look at the communicator and furrowing his brow a little.]

Who else's been mopey?

usskickass March 1 2011, 04:29:37 UTC

[It's only at this point that she realizes she never asked that guy his name.] Uh-- some guy about your age. I didn't talk to him much, though.

[And now she's going to ask his name before she forgets or gets brushed off.] I'm Shannon Beiste. What's your name?

dashboardlite March 1 2011, 04:37:30 UTC

Dean. [He takes another swig of his drink.] Dean Winchester.

[Guy around his age, huh? Staring dejectedly at his empty bottle for a moment, his expression of slight contentment faltering, Dean addresses her again.]

...Was he dressed like some kinda tax accountant?

[The Medicine Seller is still out hunting enjoying a pleasant stroll through the woods, but he's got time to take a break and make unimpressed faces at the camera. Just for you, baby.]

[Video] dashboardlite March 1 2011, 05:15:46 UTC

[Please excuse Dean, then, as he stares right back in a "Well screw you too, buddy" sort of way, because he could clearly use a little company right now but it isn't masculine by any means to seek it out.]

...It was you... advising me to be cautious.

Was it not?

[Video] 1/2 dashboardlite March 1 2011, 05:51:59 UTC

[He grunts, straightening up in his chair.]

Yeah, so? What's that got to do with anything?

Journey? Really You couldn't pick something better to sync your drunken stupor to?

[Perhaps he shouldn't be so harsh on Dean when he's so clearly upset, but 1) Kurt's pretty sure he knows at least some of why Dean is upset, and 2) Journey. ...Secretly it has Kurt nostalgic for Mr. Schuester's Glee Club, but Dean doesn't get to know that. Instead, he gets tough love.]

So, why are you attempting to give yourself alcohol poisoning this time, Dean?

[Video] 1/? dashboardlite March 1 2011, 05:57:23 UTC

[Wow. Kurt is the last person Dean wants criticizing him when he's in this situation. Getting a big, fat "I told you so" is not on his to-do list. So yeah, he sounds a little bitter.]

You'll have to excuse me, Princess, for not being able to change the channel on the damn magic radio.

[He sets the bottle aside and cradles his head in his hands.]

...I'm sorry. I'm...I'm just a little...confused...right now, is all.

[Dean sounds somewhat broken.]

[Spencer can't ignore this. Not when Dean was one of the ones to help explain this place]

What's wrong? Or is sitting in near-dark in some sort of morose stupor just something you do?

[Video] dashboardlite March 1 2011, 14:39:09 UTC

[Spencer has a point. Occasions like these have grown more and more frequent as of late. On the upside, she doesn't really know Castiel, and she doesn't have any warped notions about who he is already. Unlike the singing kids from Ohio. Maybe she'll bring some fresh eyes to the problem.

...You ever like someone you know you're not s'pposed to? And I don't mean platonically.

[Video] scary_enough March 1 2011, 18:21:27 UTC

[There's a reluctant pause before Spencer answers]

...Maybe?

[Video] dashboardlite March 1 2011, 19:50:30 UTC

[He might as well get an unbiased opinion while he can.]

So, uh...hypothetically-speaking...say there's somebody you didn't think you'd like, for a whole mess of reasons, but then you ended up pushin' to second base with 'em before freaking out and running the Hell away. And...this person didn't seem opposed to it at the time, but now you're not talking with them and you're worried you fucked things up.

...what do you do?

[After spending a few hours trying to figure the cameras out, Sam finally manages to hit the right channel.]

Dean? You there?

[Video] dashboardlite March 1 2011, 15:41:26 UTC

[Dean shifts a little, turning to look back at the camera. Oh. Oh. Shit. He wobbles for a moment, rolling off the chair and scrambling over to the communicator. Pulling up the desk chair and settling on it, he stares (somewhat blearily) at the screen.]

...Sam? Yeah, Sammy, 'm here. What's up?

[Video] demon_bitch March 1 2011, 15:48:59 UTC

Uh...nothing really. I just- [Pause.] Are you...ok?

[[ooc: Sorry I haven't been on the past day. Being sick sucks.]]

[Video] dashboardlite March 1 2011, 19:56:20 UTC

...could be worse.

[He groans, pressing the heel of his hand against his temple.] Could be better, though. [Dean shifts a little, narrowing his eyes at the screen. He can already feel Sam's worry, and he doesn't like it.]

...I'm fine, Sam.

[[ooc; Don't apologiiiiize. Feel better! <3]]
