[ When the feed clicks on, you're met with the confused but guarded face of Dean Winchester. He's seen these kinds of tricks before, but the setting has changed. ]

Okay, what the hell is going on? If this is some shitty trick then I ain't laughing. [ He's used to all sorts of crap but this is pushing it. ] Honestly, this bullshit about being in the future and fighting some battle? I know you're the creative type but come on.

So, answers. Give 'em to me before things turn ugly. I ain't sittin' around quiet and pretty this time.

[ Cue arms crossed. He's waiting. ]

action okay?

[gained_a_level]

[ A familiar sound of displaced air and the distant flutter of many feathered wings, and an equally familiar sound of Castiel's voice does more than simply suggest the angel's presence.

You know, just a few feet away. ]

Dean.

[ The angel stands there... a wary, if expectant, look frozen on his face. Wary because... while pleased to see Dean again, he is not eager to discover that this Dean remembers nothing of the last year. ]

action; you know it is~ 8)

[ganking]

[ Dean isn't expecting to hear the familiar flutter of wings at all -- he hasn't let himself think about what being in a completely new world could mean -- so he does, for once, jerk back a little at the sound.

Guess old habits come rushing back when things change. ]

Cas? Jesus - [ But instead of frustration, there's relief in his voice. ] Man, it is good to see you. [ Beat. Or is it? That expression on the angel's face has him looking right back with the same amount of wariness. ]

[ Blue eyes drift away from Dean, a brief flicker of uncertainty in them as he grasps at words or actions to more effectively break the ice, so to speak. It would of course be easier to simply ask, but the topic was a dangerous one, and words must be chosen carefully.

And even Castiel knew words aren't exactly his strong suit.

But he does have something. Something that would encourage questions if Dean didn't know what it meant, and if he did... ]

...The feeling is mutual.

[ Carefully, cautiously... Castiel pulls the bull head pendant from around his neck, but doesn't remove it. His eyes lift to Dean's, watching his every move. ]

What has been told to you is the relative truth, though sugar coated so they look better.

Do you have any more specific questions?

permatext;

[ganking]

Sure. Who the hell is this 'they' exactly and where can I kick their asses? I've got other places to be.

[boughtabookstore]

The Initiative. They can be found in the hold. But I don't recommend going to kick their asses. It won't turn out well.

And it won't get you home.

[onemoredeath]

It is the truth, at least some of the truth.

Do you have specific questions we can better answer?

[ganking]

[ Peering at the screen. Who the hell are you... ]

How do I get outta here? I'm not about to put up with another kidnapping scenario.

[ Your roommate, cause he is sitting in the dimly lit living area that is more or less where he tends to sleep because passing out over his netbook is a cool thing to do. But what he sees for now is a rather pretty face and that kind of casual messy dress that screams 'I naturally look this cool'. ]

You can leave the borders of this land, but the people beyond it will only catch you and bring you back. The United Earth sees the ability to be an individual a threat and rather we are kept contained, if they don't decide to just kill you outright.

As for returning home... That is a feat none of us has managed to do. I sometimes wonder if the Initiative only knows enough to bring us here but not enough to send us back.

[majoring]

You just arrived, right? You sound like you know who you're talking to.

[ganking]

The same douchebag I've been talking to for a year now -- Arawn. Just 'cause he redecorated doesn't mean I'm about to buy this bullshit story he's tryin' to feed me.

[video]

[thleepy]

Uhm.... but there is a battle! It's real it's not... [ oops can't bring himself to swear ] ...not fake.

[ he lowers his voice to a whisper: ] It's a really bad battle....

[video]

[ganking]

[ Have some staring, weird looking little dude. ]

Great. Bad battles are my kinda soup. Doesn't mean I'm always gonna stick around for one though. So how about you point me at an exit, okay?

[withouthumanity]

[ Loki hasn't really picked up on all of everything that's going on, but he knows enough, and he's got some serious social research to do.

So have some asshole on your netbook screen. ]

Not a trick. No, something even more misguided.

[ganking]

[ Have a dumb jerk right back. ]

What do you mean by that? Details, dude, give 'em to me.

video;

[insecrets]

It'd be a pretty involved joke, don't you think? All of these people here being in on it and whatnot.

video;

[ganking]

Sure, but who says any of these people actually exist? I've seen some pretty grand scale illusions in my time.

[video]

[vestigiaflammae]

Hey, calm down! It's real. I mean, this isn't even my world!

[video]

[ganking]

[ You kids with you weird hair these days.... ]

Awesome. Doesn't mean I'm just gonna roll over and take it though, I'd like to damn well go right back to my own world, after all. [ B( ]

voice;

[district7]

Yeah, we're creative enough to hold ourselves captive and stage this all for you.

voice;

[ganking]

[ Attitude. B( ]

Wouldn't be the first time some dick with wings or whatever has been bored enough to.

video;

[hellodeadpeople]

Yeah, definitely missed the boat on both quiet and pretty.

[ganking]

[ Huffing. ]

Glad I didn't ask for any opinions then, ain't I?

[doctorly]

[well everyone has their own kind of reaction to all of this he supposes]

It's not a trick, or a joke, everything is every bit of real. After months you just get use to it. [sometimes it's strange to think he's been here that long] The Initiative has found a way to bring people from any time here and they intend to use us to fight for not just one war, but many wars.

Sorry, wish I could provide better news.

video;

[ganking]

Don't need any better news. Just gonna make sure these Initiative people know I'm not about to fight in any wars anytime soon. [ He's got plenty of shit to fight back home, and despite having a year free from that crap, he's not about to start up here again. ]

All I need is an exit -- and I know there ain't one. Gotta make one though.
