Soooo... hey. I'm Sam. You guys probably met me before - I've lost a few years, and, uh. I guess I don't remember the last few trips here. So if anybody'd like to fill me in about - whatever the hell I did around here, I'd love to refresh my memory.

[Not that he could, either way. He's a babyface (who still looks a bit like he got into a barfight).]

Actually, I wanted to ask - anybody got any useful books? Outside of this place, I mean. Anything with actual - information. Nonfiction stuff, old age books, whatever.
 
[It's been about a week since Sam got aboard the ship, and really, he's mostly been trying to find anything to occupy his time in the library. Yeah, yeah, he's a nerd or whatever; Dean's probably said anything you could say about his bookworm stuff. But he's not too content with the selection, and as he's scanning through the holographic consoles; the green-glow plays off his face as he sighs, leaning back to talk to the comm. Hi everyone, I'm a moose, how's it going.]

 I'm not really finding anything remotely helpful here - not much of a surprise, considering everything else I've read on the network about this place... [He squints up at the hologram, shaking his head.] A ship like this without anything helpful in the library? I guess everyone's pretty much already guessed something got rid of anything important here. Now all you've got is...

[what the hell is this - he half-laughs, throughly amused and repulsed as he reads the passage aloud]

"Captain Haroldo set his phasers to love as the exotic alien princess ran her hands down his glistening abs..."

[He trails off, and whatever he reads in his head after that is clearly beautiful enough to make him laugh aloud.]



Dude, gross. Look, Dean, this stuff was practically made for you. 

[:)))))]

[Not much later, he includes a quick little encryption - it was kinda interesting, to mess with. Go technology. More importantly... there's someone he wants to - meet? Re-meet? He's not even sure what to call it, but he knows that it's better to have a chat sooner than later.]

[To Jo Harvelle // Encrypted 50%]

Hey, uh... I hope I'm doing this right.

Jo?

[ he starts with voice because he's busy with other stuff. ]

Sorry dude. Only book I've got is some kind of werewolf erotica and uh, equally gross.

[ well. he has a laptop full of pdfs and resources on the supernatural, and the notes meg gave him, but they're not books so he's not gonna mention them. ]

[avengeful]

[ DAMMIT STILES GIVE ME THOSE PDFS??? ]

... Werewolf erotica.

[he blinks and shakes his head, like he's snapping out of something.]

Shedding and chewing on carcasses - sounds sexy.

He likes that kinda thing?

[METAPHORICAL SPITTAKE

he can't even stop himself from laughing low and amused]

He likes to confuse everything with porn, sure. I was mostly joking.

[note that he says mostly

mostly]

[phew, okay, no

stop being mean towards your brother, fight the temptation]

They take out all the necessary info, leave in the badly written romance novels? Did the old crew actually read this crap?

[Tersely:]

A man named Claudius keeps a small library of physical media.

[Sam very easily slips into that more serious aura Edgeworth's got; he's dealt with a lot of serious college professors. So time to trade that kiddie humor for something a little softer and refined.]

Thanks for letting me know. Do you know where I could reach him? Ask him about his collection?

[seered]

Not a fan of that particular genre, I see.

[avengeful]

Not my most favorite, no.



I just hope nobody was paid for this.

[majestyofthethrone]

Settling in all right, Sam?

[avengeful]

[oh hey seraphim

The question is, should he use text to be on equal footing, or would that seem rude, like you can't have voice from him? He's never really spoken to any mute people before... How is that, in a job like his? Huh.]

Yeah - yeah, definitely. I still have a little vertigo from... everything, but I'm adjusting. Just wish there was more reliable information aboard, like I'm sure most people do.

How 'bout you? Doing alright?

[faithlessly]

...Wait, what's the name of that thing?

[ because you know..... ]

[avengeful]

Dean, don't kill your reputation all in one fell swoop.

[maybe he'll just keep the title locked in his heart

just to watch you suffer]

I have Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey series, but they're of similar quality to what you've just read out loud.

[...no, he can't say that about a series he unironically enjoys.]

Actually I'd say these are better.

voice;

[avengeful]

Iiii'm not familiar. With either.

[He's just barely from the cusp of Twilight's publication.

But someday, someday, he will have to deal with that bullshit. Literally deal with it.]

But if they're like this — no thanks. Maybe if I need to fix a wobbly table.

Had you on security, last time.
You tried the introduction documents they put out?

[avengeful]

The 'welcome' entry, with the deets on smiley, the hallways, all the stuff in-between? I got that one.

[sweetbreads]

Non-fiction is a rather vast subject.

[avengeful]

I like to cover all my bases.

Besides, this place doesn't seem to bring in a lot of actual books to start with. Figure there won't be a lot to even go through.

Sam?

[ guess who has been majorly busy an somehow missed out on this piece of information. course, she's still not doing too hot, and if it was anyone else she might have ignored it, but this is Sam ]

When did you get here?

[AWKWARD SMILE

Hi, Jo. I'm betting a million dollars my brother has hit on you more than once.]

That'd be me. I showed up a week ago, on the last jump.

But — this is sort of — technically — our first meeting.

[is that clear enough 'i haven't met you yet']

[unparental]

I can't tell if that's better or worse than the incomprehensible space standup.

[avengeful]

... Space standup?

[Should he be afraid. He sounds concerned with his well-being.]

You're welcome...?

Books are a rarer commodity here than you'd imagine. What little we have is what has been given to us by the ship. I believe Murphy Pendleton has several texts that he might be willing to loan you, though I can't speak to whether or not they would be to your taste.

[ SO STIFFLY POLITE because winchesters and their beef with supernatural creatures, it's a thing. ]

voice;

[avengeful]

[it's definitely a thing

what with it wiping out the people he loves and trying to kill innocent civilians and all]

Murphy Pendleton. If there's anything helpful at all to spend a little time on, it's worth it. As much as I like the whole 'progress in technology' thing the ship's got, I'd prefer my books to be... actual books.

[makedo]

That's some whiskey tango trailer trash literature you've got there.

[avengeful]

[Dude, try to be a little politically correct here, man, he's conditioned to be that way. And yet he chuckles anyway, because - man, this stuff is just awful.]

And it sells apparently.

We're on a pretty technologically advanced ship, but this was important enough to keep in the databases, I guess.

[rebelled]

Sam.

[:D :D :D

okay, yes, there really is a smile on his face. though not as big as the emotes. instead he just looks more relieved than anything, even with the time difference.]

It's good to see you again.

[avengeful]

[Headtilt. He smiles back, but it's more curious and uncertain than a familiarity.]

... Sorry - I don't remember anything from my last stop here. They dragged me back a few years behind on everything, I guess.

[Look at him, Castiel, look. He's not quite so moose-manly yet. Not so much misery, it's fab.]

Did we meet here on the ship?

[still, sorry bro]

video;

[inspirited]

Yeah, unfortunately there isn't much outside of those type of books here unless you find them appear in your locker.

[avengeful]

And is that a rare thing, on top of it?

[purrfectlycute]

[ She's been able to show her face to Winchesters before without getting shanked in the face, so hopefully this time won't be different. Gotta laugh at that passage though. ]

Yeesh, whoever left things on the ship must've had poor taste. I think I've read better stuff on the internet written by six sweep olds! [ Like herself... ]

Unfurtunately I don't have anything in way of books. Are you looking fur things about other universes or just this one? Beclaws I have plenty of tales to write about my own, and have you talked to the people from Westeros?! Talk about a fantastical world!

( video )

[avengeful]

[he mostly just... stares

the whole time she talks

and then shakes his head to recuperate]

Yeah - I, uh. Sounds good. Learning about just about anything, I'm game for.

video

[in_the_blood]

Well, I haven't met you before.

And hey, careful, that sounds like quality fiction you're riffing on there. I'd offer to do you a public service and take it off your hands, but I don't exactly have anything to trade in exchange.

[Cassie's got her mom's Book of Shadows with her, but she's not about to go mentioning that to people.]

video

[avengeful]

At least that's one person new to meet.

[But he shakes his head, looking sure of himself.]

Oh, don't worry, you can have this free of charge. Take it before my brother finds it and tortures me with passages.

[blasphemous]

[She smirks.]

Surprise, surprise. The Winchester is looking for Lore.

[avengeful]

[His expression dips. He doesn't recognize the face, but — Dean let him know she was here. She's just lucky he doesn't know about the possession thing, or the fact that she used his body to not only hurt Jo, but his brother; still a more raging, vengeful person, this Sammy.

He pauses, considering that maybe she's just someone he met here before. Forgot — no, not forgot. She's a future memory, perhaps. Time is really confusing here. He wanders a guess, anyway:]

Meg.
