First things first - Initiative? Really? Come on, couldn'tcha be at least a little original? I mean I'm having a serious case of been there, done that. And for the record? Not really looking forward to doing it again. I've had the tour, I've seen the shinies - and I'll say again. Not interested. Opposite of interested. Me and freaky government strongholds go way back. We had a very hot and heavy relationship, but we're seeing other people now, and both of us are better for it. So, second thing? If you could just, you know - help a girl out and point me toward the nearest exit? That'd be real peachy. Failing that? I'm not your strong-arm. You can't control me. Don't even try.

[ It sounds like she's done, but then there's rustling, and she comes back. ]

Oh, neat um -- neat weapon thingy. By the way. Looks like it might be stolen tech from someone very unsavory. But you almost had me drooling. I'm watching you.

[He frowns, trying to follow]

What do you mean when she actually existed?

[defending]

Dawn wasn't always... Dawn. She used to be a big ball of energy, called the Key. Long story short, she isn't really -- I mean, my parents didn't make her. My mom didn't give birth to her. This group of monks were trying to hide her from the Hell-God - her name was Glory - so she couldn't rip universes and dimensions apart. If she got her hands on the Key, she would open -- did open -- a crack in all dimensions, they'd bleed together, and all worlds everywhere would end. So... This group of monks, chosen to protect the Key... They made her. Out of me. And sent her to me, to protect. In the form of a sister. Memories and everything, fabricated. She always felt like my real sister. She felt real to my Mom. And she really is my sister. But she didn't always exist. So our connection... It's physical. Sort of. Because she's a part of me. Like, big on the literal. [ Then she realizes that she's just babbling and spilling her guts and she bursts out in awkward laughter. ]

Like you really care all that much. Sorry.

[bikininspector]

No - no, I do. I'm not sure I entirely get it but - that had to be rough - if you have all the memories...to learn that they weren't real -

[He thinks back of all his years with Dean - Dean telling him how to hit on girls, Dean making him dinner, stealing Christmas presents for him, dressing his wounds, driving him to school dances, helping him with his homework...all the good times...they were there weren't they? He didn't just imagine them. Even though things are bad now - there were good times.]

[defending]

It was hard. Really... Really hard. It took some serious getting used to, once I found out. Things were rough. But... it turned out okay. And we don't really talk about it anymore. And I generally don't think about it all that much. Because she's my sister. And after my mom died, she's my responsibility. So.

[ Yep. You're lucky all of yours are real. ]

Plus, the last few years have all been real. And it all feels real. Like it really happened.

[bikininspector]

[Suddenly all he wants to do is call Dean back - or better yet just go over to his place - and talk it out. Find a way. Because they're brothers, right? That's gotta be all that matters. They've been through a lot of crap together and yeah ok, Dean's been through some extra crap on his own. But that doesn't mean they can't bridge that gap. It can't mean that.]

She's your sister. [He nods] When it comes down to it, that's all that matters.

[defending]

I'd die for her. Have, actually. [ She'll give details later, or if he asks, but for now that's sufficient enough information she thinks. ]

video. private.

[bikininspector]

[While they have been sharing an unusual amount of feelings they did just meet so it doesn't feel like his place to ask about it just yet, even if she did bring it up.]

Definitely know how that feels.

video. private.

[defending]

Wait, you've died?

video. private.

[bikininspector]

Uh - no. Not yet anyway.

video. private. we should probs decide if this happened before or after coffee lolol

[defending]

Oh. Sorry. Big misinterpretation on my part.

video. private. yeah I was just thinking that too um.

[bikininspector]

[ooc: ran out of room - I'd say after cuz otherwise he'd be a ball of nerves over his fight with Dean...]

No, it isn't that big - I get how you got there. What I meant was I'd die for him - in a heartbeat.

video. private. i was thinking after too! c: yay so that works.

[defending]

I think it's a thing only siblings and other siblings could level with. Which, hey. We're pretty good at leveling.

video. private. yay for being in sync!

[bikininspector]

Yeah, and only siblings who've had to risk themselves for each other. Think we're pretty good at risks too.

[He doesn't know what happens exactly when he stops the apocalypse. But pretty sure that the only way he's able to go through with it...is thinking of saving Dean. Screw the world.]

video. private. BEST FRIENDS 8DDD

[defending]

Risks, risks, and more risks. We're like a Riskapalooza.

video. private. FOREVAH!

[bikininspector]

You'd think we'd at least get good music out of it with a name like that but no - my brother still plays the greatest hits of mullet rock on cassette tapes.

video. private. :'D /HAPPYTAI

[defending]

Mullet rock. [ SNORT. ] Cassette -- do you ever stop having headaches?

video. private.

[bikininspector]

That would be a no.

[defending]

Must be how Giles feels about my music.

[bikininspector]

Giles -- don't think you've mentioned him.

video. private.

[defending]

My Watcher. He's like a father to me, but... Watchers Watch the Slayer. He's trained me and helped me learn and research -- he's basically the brains. An expert on everything that I need to know and do.

video. private.

[bikininspector]

[He smiles] I've got one of those, only I call him uncle instead of watcher.

video. private.

[defending]

[ She smiles right back. ] You'd like Giles. But he has kind of a book fetish.

video. private.

[bikininspector]

Then I'll definitely like him - so do I.

[defending]

Sometimes there's drool.

[bikininspector]

[AND THANK GOD DEAN CAN'T SEE THIS.]

Well sounds like the kind of guy you wanna have backing you up with the occult.
