entranceway | first hunt 🔪 video

Awesome.

[When the camera pans around at first all you see is jeans and boots before he's got it up and focused on his face. Dean flashes the receiver an unimpressed look, whatever this was he didn't want to be in on the joke.]

As far as abduction sequences go, the digs are nice. I'll give you that. Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered, but I so don't do Stockholm.

[Zachariah might want him to sign up and put his body on layaway for the apocalypse but he didn't have any plans to go belly up. As far as he was concerned, there was still a shot, and he'd only consent to Michael if he didn't have any other choice. He was a lot of things, but letting someone else do his dirty work wasn't his style.]

Whatever sick twisted things you had planned, I don't go that way. ...No matter what you've heard.

[Dean takes a minute to scratch the side of his cheek, and then sets his jaw and squares his shoulders. The usual off-the-cuff sarcasm is still as confident as ever, but he's over the showmanship. Broadcasting wasn't his bag.]

And anybody else that wants to feed me another line of crap about mirrors and royalty, don't waste your time. The creep I'm looking for has Fifty Shades of Douche written all over him.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Anyone who shows up making it clear that they don't plan to drink the koolaid, is exactly the kind of person that Rose bothers to turn on her device for.]

You might wanna get used to it cause at least half the people around here have the, Why Wonderland isn't so bad speech, memorized.

Yeah, because being brought anywhere against your will is a good thing.

[There's no hiding it when he rolls his eyes. He's had to go toe to toe with places like this before, but this time, he's not interested. He needs to get back, there's too much going on.]

I've never been the kind of person that just bends over and takes it. There's gotta be a way out of here.

Hey - never said I was one of them.

[You're preaching to the choir on this one Dean. She's heard all the reasons for being pro-wonderland but the whole lack of choice is what she can't swallow.]

Let me know if you figure that out cause in three months? I can't find anyone who has the first clue about doing so.

Just because the exits aren't labeled doesn't mean there's no way out.

[The indifferent shrug makes it pretty damn clear he's not about to let this one go. Dean's had to deal with mystery spots before and he's not a fan. Sure, this one hasn't killed him half a dozen times yet but he's not about to give it the opportunity either.]

[It's like having a conversation with herself three months ago.]

You think you know who's behind all this though... The... Fifty shades of douche?!

Yeah, I was pretty damn certain.

[After a talk with Sam, now not so much. If it really is Kings, Queens, magic and bullshit Dean still doesn't want any part of it.]

My track record for being wrong's not on the high side, but I'd almost take Ugly to whatever the fuck this is.

[And Zachariah isn't exactly known for being charitable. Last time they squared away, he almost killed them. If Cas hadn't shown up they'd be goners.]

And you haven't even seen the best of it yet... [Nothing in her tone suggesting the 'best', is in any way a good thing and nothing about those words, particularly comforting. Rose doesn't do gentle welcomes so much as she does reality.

She could have done with a bit more of that on her first day here.]

They do a good job of making this place seem like a cozy vacation but then all hell breaks loose and you remember a prison is still a prison, no matter how nice the sleeping arrangements might be.

[Gentle welcomes don't work for Dean and he'd rather have that dose of reality than smoke blown up his ass any day.]

Finally, somebody has a head on their shoulders. Way too many people are way too comfortable with this place. I'm Dean.

[She nods slowly in agreement, Dean nailing her major problem with Wonderland.]

Rose. [Approval in her eyes.] And just be grateful that you didn't get scrapbooked. [A beat.] Don't ask.

[In Mabel's defense. She's twelve. In Rose's defense. She'd just been kidnapped.]

I'm guessing everyone else gave you the magical everything rundown? Cupboards, wardrobes, weird happenings?

All I got was a basic rundown on the situation with the mirrors. I take it people don't really like to discuss what's wrong with the place.

[This is the kind of conversation he needs. Somebody that'll actually tell him the truth instead of glossing it over with a bunch of happy bullshit. He gets it, people can get comfortable in a shitty situation, but he doesn't want to be that kind of person.]

Yeah everyone's bent out of shape because the mirrors are reversed. It's one thing knowing some freak has your face but seeing it...

[Yeah like she isn't just as unsettled.]

From what I've seen in the short time I've been here? Wonderland doesn't exactly let you get too comfortable. Every couple of weeks or so, things go haywire. Sometimes it's zombies, other times they start screwing with your head.

[From the way she speaks, it's the head-fucking that Rose appears to be more uptight about.]

People around here like to lead with the good. [Skeptical that there is any.] Not the truth.

That's a calming technique. It works for some, just not for me. I'd rather know what I'm getting into ahead of time.

[After spending some time around the mansion one thing was for damn sure, this wasn't normal, and the whole thing put him on edge. Sam was different, Mom was different, and everything else was off. He needed a stiff drink and a good night's sleep. With any luck he wouldn't wake up here.]

Mind-games. Gotcha. I guess that's par for the course when you've got mirror clones playing dress up.

We've been kidnapped. If that kind of thing calms somebody down, they've got bigger problems than this place.

[Clearly Rose went to the Dean Winchester school of dealing.

Yeah. About that.] More like, mind altering. When I first got here they did... something. It was like having your emotions dialed up to a twelve and then when you couldn't take it anymore, you went full on sociopath.

Uh... what?

[With a gesture of his hand Dean makes it pretty damn clear that he's not on board for going out of his gourd. The first part he totally agrees with, there's no reason to comment on that because he already made it pretty clear.]

Nobody gave me the memo about going American Pyscho.

Edited 2016-06-26 11:31 (UTC)

Yeah well that doesn't really fit into their pro-Wonderland pitch.

[File that under warnings Rose wished she'd gotten.]

If people around you start acting crazy? There's a good chance Wonderland is to blame.

Thanks for the heads up. I owe you a drink after I get settled, okay? Don't let me forget. You've been the most helpful person to reply so far, I should at least return the favor.

[That, and she's easy on the eyes. He wouldn't mind having her as company while he threw a few back.]

Well the only bar here happens to be on the same floor as my room so that should be easy enough. [And yes, she was going to hold him to that.]

But I should probably be thanking you. Sane people showing up isn't that common around here.

I'm starting to get the picture. I got some stuff... to look into, but we'll call it an IOU. And you better believe I keep my promises.

[Between his family being here and then rest of the goons from home, Dean's got a heavy list of things to keep him busy for a little while. If he was gonna have drinks with a pretty girl he didn't want anything else on his mind when it happened. That way he could actually enjoy it.]
