( THREE : VIDEO : HELLHOUNDS 101 )

[ when the feed turns on, you're greeted by one hunter+angel combo, namely dean and cas. dean looks alive!! the same as he always does, arms crossed and ready to dish out his lovely personality.

and today's subject? let him clear his throat. ]


So. Hellhounds.

[ yeah, no wasting time today, this shit is serious. ]

Some of you might know 'em as demonic sons of bitches from Hell, meant for hunting and draggin' souls downstairs. There's nothin' cute or cuddly 'bout 'em unlike some people seem to think. [ trust him, those fuckers are not pets, not unless you're a demon. ] Which is why we think it's only fair everybody on board knows exactly what's takin' this space cruise with us. [ why yes, there is a hellhound on board the tranquility. it's not only space monsters that thirst for fresh blood and souls around here. ]

So if you ever find yourself needing to gank one of 'em while it's trying to turn you into meatloaf, we've got a couple tips for you on how to avoid your chew toy fate.

[really now dean. wouldn't it be better to focus on the more important parts of this transmission instead of just trying to scare everybody?]

There are a limited number of ways to protect yourself from attack. Those of you who were here during the demon invasion may remember [us] me telling you about the uses of salt. The same is true of Hellhounds, to an extent.

[ throughout the entire transmission, castiel's attention is only half on the camera. given dean's personal history with hellhounds, he's doing his best to try and monitor the other man.

…and if anything, cas' staring issues have dean's expression turning harder as he huffs his next words. ]


If you don't have salt handy, there's always your good old herb option, a little somethin' called the Devil's Shoestring. It'll keep those mutts at bay for a tick-tock. [ or rather, until the clock hits twelve and your time is up. good times. ] Dunno if our space rain forest has any of that, but there should be something equally useful growin' in there.

Goofer Dust is also an option, though it requires a combination of ingredients to create. [the largest of which involves a little dirt theft from a certain dead girls grave. he knows it's an idea that won't go down well with the people here, but when it comes to the safety of the people trapped here, castiel is willing to take that chance.] I will do my best to attempt to recreate it. But until then, it would be wisest to rely on the previous two suggestions to keep it from approaching you.

Not that it's gonna slow down or bite any less if you're its target. Monsters are like that. [ you can pretty much expect to die at that point, if you ask dean. ] But better buck up and all, never know when Lassie from Hell's gonna flip out.

[there's a slight delay between dean finishing and castiel picking up the explanation. most areas have been covered, but there's still one important fact to point out.]

Hellhounds are invisible to most. The can only be seen by those close to death, angels, and demons. [well, bar a few exceptions.] They're stronger and faster than any dog you may have seen before, and there are very few weapons in existence that are capable of killing them.

Consider them a vicious, invisible, and near-indestructible harbinger of death who wants nothing more than to tear your soul from your body after ripping it to shreds. [okay, so perhaps he knows how to be a little more graphic than necessary sometimes too.

yeah, okay, castiel gets another look from dean at that, this one more surprised than anything. a beat later though, he turns back to the screen, an oddly smug smile on his face. ]


Yeah, what he said.

[ all the more reason to try turn the already on board hellhound into an invisible rug. ]

Now that you all know exactly what you share your everyday environment with, maybe you'll think twice if you see a floatin' collar around. Don't say we didn't warn you.

( ooc: as you may guess, dean is green and cas is blue. )

[Thanks for the heads up, boys.]

Oh, this just made space that much better.

[Good thing she has her lovely silvery pretty spike of holy doom.]

If it's provoked, maybe, but that dog's as happy as they come. What could possibly make it turn on someone, other than them doin' stupid shit like tryin' to hurt its master?

[ what a comforting psa. hellhounds don't sound like much of an enemy — for buffy, at least — but the issue of safety in regard to the passengers incapable of defending themselves is a significant one. the distribution of information to passengers is kind of admirable, really, but that's not what she remarks on. ]

So. Not man's best friend, huh?

He hasn't hurt anyone and he isn't going to.

[ Howly's got his head on her lap, collar-free at the moment, and he whines once as Jaye's voice increases in pitch before she smooths her hand over his head. ]

Just leave him alone.

If they haven't figured it out by now, then they're stupid. They deserve what they get for not paying attention.

Dunno, for bein' a "vicious monster" he seems pretty damn well-behaved.

I guess we can't agree on everything. [ Like they've really agreed on anything?? He shrugs. ] But I'm pretty sure the only one we've got on the ship isn't gonna do much anyway.

Don't think anyone here's claiming it's tamed, but luckily it's smart an' well-treated an' has everything it needs. Maybe it's got a new purpose now.

Besides, if any place deserves to be called Hell, we're already in it.

What are you going to do if a werewolf slips up, or a vampire? Same thing? Just going to hunt down all the "monsters" on board? You know people volunteer to let the vampires feed off them? Going to kill them because those people "don't know"?

He listens to me. If I say stay, he stays. He's saved my life, which is more than I can say for either of you. [ Her fingers curl into the hound's coat, arm shaking slightly. ] If he were to act up, I'd deal with it. My roommate's a Slayer and it's not like I don't have my own tricks up my sleeve. But if that never happens? Leave him alone.

I think I'd know if there were more. [ There's a pause, and he laughs. ] What, the little dog's got you that scared, huh?

[ He wanted to say something, but still Sam-squinting at 'who wants nothing more than to tear your soul from your body after ripping it to shreds.'

Thank you for that image. Bless you.
