( ONE : VIDEO )

[ since waking up in the pod, dean's had quite the eventful time. between people telling him he's been here twice before, some nut job hiding behind a red smiley face, and cas being anything but the angel he remembers from home-- well, needless to say dean's feeling a little like someone who had the rug pulled from under his feet.

that, and the now clear memories of what went down back home on top of it all make for shit storm he's not quite ready to deal with yet. if ever.

but speaking of home, there's something that's been bothering more as he's watched the network ever since the jump had landed him in this mess. so today finds him poking this very problem. ]

So, about people going home.

I don't get it. What's the big deal? Ain't it a good thing when someone gets a couple post stamps slapped on their forehead and then shipped off back to whatever factory they popped out of? I'm not saying whatever's waiting back home is all sunshine and puppies for everyone 'round here -- [ it's no paradise he's ready to kick some ass for either. ] -- but settlin' like this place is some kinda home doesn't seem right. Especially if the things I've heard 'bout our ride're true.

[ he gets that things haven't been exactly a breeze on the ship, really. ]

Just sayin'. Sounds like an awful lot of people gettin' too cozy 'round here.

[ and with those deep and meaningful thoughts, dean cuts the feed. ]

Woah, man, you're getting way too into the idea that I'd actually do something like that. [ he wouldn't...........unless it was the last resort, which, let's face it, in this place can quickly be. ] Maybe I have other ways.

Such as what? If you have them, I should be glad to hear them - not least because the suggestion of them would be less condemnatory of your character.

Dude, even if my way was the most eco-friendly, and nicest buddy-buddy approach that included hugs and kisses? I'd still not share with you.

Mr. Winchester, I quite doubt that. One does not hide something that is good and righteous.

Good or bad, trust goes together with the whole sharing and caring business. [ and he sure as hell doesn't have any to spare for this guy. ]

...Then I shan't trust you. I suppose that's a simple enough solution.

Great. Are we done now?

We are not. There are a great many other things to discuss. For example: why is it you think you can find who was responsible, when no one else has been able to?

[ FRUSTRATED SIGH. ] Awesome.

I don't know, I have a freakin' knack for these things or something, okay? [ no he doesn't. ]

A knack. Well. Naturally. I do recall - when we were hiring new prosecutors, that would always be our first question. "Sir or madam, do you have a knack."

That will not get you far.

Good for you guys. [ he sounds amused, though probably not for the right reasons. ]

S'gotten me this far, and it'll get me further, too.

This far. This far being...what? Stranded on a spaceship with everyone else, with no idea of where to even start investigating? Yes, a marvelous skill you have.

No, you asshole. This far bein' to this day in one piece. What's one space journey on top of it all, really?

Of course. And I'm so impressed, looking over your biography which I'm holding in my hand at this given moment, by what you accomplished to this point. A piece of advice: when you speak, bear in mind the information available to your audience.

I don't really give a rat's ass if you don't know shit about me or what I've done, y'know. I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do it my way and you're gonna just have to deal.

"This" being...? Finding a way off the ship, I suppose.

What else?

Do not get me wrong, Mr. Winchester: your determination, while charmingly naive, is not something I want to discourage. As I said, I myself am working on a way off the ship, and I do not hold to what some others believe - that it is impossible. That said, I must question your optimism.

You don't have to question anything, man. You could just, you know, mind your own business. [ l: ]

I'm perfectly aware that option is open to me; I choose not to. You've no solid plan, is that correct? No solid plan, no actual leads - not least because through your words you will have alienated those who have information you can use.

And still I can't seem to alienate the one douchebag who I really don't need around. [ one guess who that is, edgeworth, one. ]

Oh, no; you have. I'm quite disinclined to give you any information at all.

And you still expected me to share and care with you? Gees.

I would have been perfectly willing to share, had you been forthright.

Yeah, right. Guess neither is goin' away with any new info then, s'damn okay with me. [ he'll force information out of people later, if he has to. ]
