( TWO : VIDEO )

[ hello, tranquility. you remember dean, right? yes? no? either way, today finds him planning something stupid. at least act surprised. ]

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm not looking forward to climbing back into that pod-thing for another jump. [ nope, not one bit. not if it means there's a chance he won't wake up for another month again. ]

Does anyone know what would happen if I skipped out on that? I mean, I guess turnin' into space dust's worse than pullin' another act of Sleeping Beauty, but if there's any way 'round that… Or if you have some gruesome tale 'bout how your buddy Joe tried it and got eaten by a space dinosaur, let's hear 'bout it.

[ let him know. or something.

a beat later, and on an entirely different subject; ] Also. Who the hell does a guy have to get cozy with 'round here to get somethin' more... fun in his locker? [ do yourself a solid and don't ask what's fun is. the smirk on his face should speak for him. it's gone with the next bit though; ] ...'cause not for nothing, but aside from people dyin' and monsters lurking in the dark, not a lot seems to happen 'round here. Almost like home, y'know, except for this bein' some sci-fi nerd's wet dream.

[ okay, maybe that's a little unfair considering he has to physically stop himself from losing his shit every time some iconic pop culture character decides to show up. ]

[ private to sam winchester ; encryption 50% ]

You choke on space salad or something, man? [ AS IN HEY BRO HOW'S IT GOING DEAN'S BORED so let's go do something reckless. ]

Threaded | Flat

Now you've done it.

[Edgeworth suppresses the very vicious urge to link him to the footage of what happens when you do that. Instead:]

No space dinosaurs, but the results are very gruesome. There's video demonstration of the same. You will not, I think, want to see it.

Hotspur.

[And unlike Edgeworth, she just sends the link. Enjoy them screams.]

You're going in your pod.

[sorry bro. you don't get a choice here]

Dea—

[ BACK UP, we are NOT about to start on eating habits. ]

Dean, another passenger died playing hookie with the pods.

I know you wanna accomplish somethin' useful, but I can tell you right now, that ain't the way to do it, stayin' outside the pods. Better to risk a long sleep than a permanent one.

Are you offering sex for stuff?

Still looking for pie, huh?

I'm pretty sure getting back in the pod is better than staying out of it.

You really wanna end it all, pal, find a way that ain't as messy, yeah?

Far's I can tell, gettin' the goods in your locker's random. Sometimes it's a good deal, sometimes it ain't.

I don't want to go into the pods, either. I don't wanna not wake up again.

And here I was worried about space ax-murderers. Space dinosaurs hadn't crossed my mind.

Until now.

[She sounds more amused than anything, at least.]

What, being face to face with the fourth wall isn't good enough entertainment for you?

You'd be better off doing what everyone else does and getting in the damn tube. [ He's squints a bit. ] And it's not like you're the only one who doesn't get anything good after a jump.

Learn to deal with it.

I like the cut of your jib, friend. You'll be sorely missed when the ship splats you on the walls like you're interior paint.

[ No pretty face for you today, Dean; October's feeling (and looking) completely worn down. Has been for a while, but now she's actively trying to hide it when and if she can. Not that she necessarily excepts Dean to worry about her or anything - they hardly know one another, after all - but why bother risking it? ]

You'll end up dying. A little more permanent and WAY shittier than getting stuck for a month. And for the record, if you even try it, I'll drag your ass to the pods and toss you in myself.

Only works if you can turn into a bug and don't mind breathing in blood mist for however long the jump lasts. If you're lucky, less than a month.

Though honestly, yeah, I'd rather try that again than get in. But that's because I can do that.
