74th Hunt [Video]

[dude_imbatman]

[Dean flips on the video as he's emerging from building 7. He looks rough, unshaven, exhausted and dirty. He is tired, exhausted and ready for a shower but he's grateful in some ways to be back. He didn't find any of the answers he wanted, just more questions so on the whole, while he's glad he went, the trip was largely unsatisfying.]So we're back

[She just kind of wants to tuck him into bed and let him sleep as long as possible then make a big meal for when he gets up. Maybe he'll let her.]

I'm here. Do you want me to come pick you up?

Re: [Video || Private]

[dude_imbatman]

[That look on Dean's face is absolute gratitude and relief.]

Yeah, if it's not too much trouble.

[angelsrwatchng]

Of course it's not too much trouble. I'll be there soon. [The look on her face says anything she does for her kids is never trouble before it turns off.

About ten minutes later she pulls the Impala up as she'd recognized where he was. Not only is the car in the same working order he'd left it in but it's also completely and utterly clean, minus a few details. Cleaning the car had been stress-relieving for her and she'd taken a vacuum to it though she'd left all of the little memories of the boys' childhood alone. Once Mary had put the car in park she steps out.] You look exhausted.

[While he's waiting for her, he sits down on the curb, getting to his feet slowly when he sees the Impala.]

I think I could sleep for a week. [He's got his duffle bags with him. The one filled with weapons is still pretty heavy but the other one, the one that held ammo, is empty. He walks over to the back passenger side and tosses the bags into the backseat.]

Car looks good.

So... how did it go?

Re: || audio

[dude_imbatman]

I don't know. Kinda crappy. There was a lot of friggin' desert and nasty, weird monsters.

[He's glad to hear Jill's voice.]

[sempreadagio]

It's a good thing you know how to handle nasty, weird monsters.

Re: || audio

[dude_imbatman]

Yeah. I did alright and there were a coupla other people who knew what they were doing on the boat.

Things good here?

[shifts]

Anything useful?

[dude_imbatman]

It's one giant friggin' rat maze.

[shifts]

That's useful.

[dude_imbatman]

Yeah. 'Cause rat in a maze is always a good feeling.

[No offense meant, Eames. He's tired and disappointed.]

[dulcisnuntius]

[Less than a minute after posting the video something small and feathery and pink slams into Dean.]

Hi!

[dude_imbatman]

[Sorry, Dean doesn't have much time to recover and really he just barely keeps them both from falling down. Just barely. His arms do go around Dulcie, either from self preservation or because he wants a hug. You choose. Also, he might sound a bit out of breath, like she knocked the wind out of him when he speaks.]

Hey Sweetheart. Good to see you didn't go anywhere.

[dulcisnuntius]

You're back!

[Which may be an obvious statement, considering she's still clinging onto him for dear life.]

Was it awesome? Did you battle any sea monsters?

[dude_imbatman]

There were a couple of sea monsters. Mostly it just sucked being on a boat, away from everybody.

[And then a grin.] Okay, so yeah the giant, rock like sea monster was pretty cool. And there were sirens. They were kinda awesome.

[totallyinaband]

Good to see you in one piece, man.

[dude_imbatman]

Yeah. Thanks. You too.

Things alright here?

[totallyinaband]

The same as usual. You missed Michael Jackson and Lady GaGa battling in the City square. That was intense.

[dude_imbatman]

Dude...seriously? [And then a pause]

Which one's Lady GaGa?
