[ For a moment all that's heard is some grunting and probably a few obscene curses. He's still trying to figure the phone out, but that's because he's not familiar with it. Technology isn't Benny's strong suit in the slightest. He had a flip phone when him and Dean were talking, but he ditched that a long time ago. Getting anything fancier never really appealed to Benny. No need. This thing wasn't what he wanted to be shackled to at all.

Suddenly a fuzzy beard appears in frame and it's clearly speckled with spots of gray. There are a few more grunts as Benny finally arrives at the conclusion that this isn't just your run of the mill phone. Then again the only phones he's familiar with are the flip ones. This one's in a whole different league and dammit if it's not pissing him off.

He clears his throat quickly and finally becomes a little more visible on the screen. When he found this damn thing in his pocket he didn't know what to expect, but maybe he could get a hold of someone who could help him out. ] I don't think this damned thing is even workin', but if anyone's out there I could sure use a nudge in the right direction. A state would greatly appreciated. This house don't look too comfortin' and I'm itchin' to get the hell outta dodge.

[Clearly, sarcasm is the best way to greet someone.]

Depends on what you think of as a comfort. If it's a big creepy house that likes to play mindgames, ding ding ding! You're in luck.

That certainly ain't my idea of comfort I'll tell you that much. [ He's not at all familiar with this man's face, but he looks pretty human. Then again Benny is the first to understand that appearances can be deceiving. ] Houses playin' mindgames huh? How's that work?

Every so often, things change around. Or it makes you see things that aren't there. Or it changes you.

[He shrugs.]

And there are people in the mirrors. Like all of us, except... opposite. Or just damaged. It's a trip and a half.

[ That's definitely not what Benny thought the man was gonna say. He knows of at least a half dozen things that can make you see things and a few more are linked to witch craft and things like that. It's the people being in mirrors that kind of throws him for a loop.

He lets out a heavy sigh and glances over his shoulder at the house once more. He can't quite pin down why it makes him uncomfortable. Exactly details are extremely fuzzy, but it doesn't leave him feeling happy. ] I'm Benny. What's your name?

Loki.

[Sooner or later, someone's going to shatter his cover. It's probably just a matter of time, with everyone crammed into one house — even if it's a giant house. But for now, he's milking his cover for all it's worth; he's still recovering, even if he can more than handle himself again.]

Someone give you the 411 on this being Wonderland? I don't think it really has states. ...states of insanity, maybe, but no Michigans or Colorados.

[ He's got no reason to believe this guy is who he says he is. Still though he's gonna be on the lookout. This place ain't exactly on the up and up, but he'll keep his eyes open. If something seems off then he'll notice real soon. ] From what I understand--from the two folks I've spoken to before I'm trapped huh? [ Benny clicks his tongue and then smiles at the screen of his phone. ] No Michigans or Colorados huh? So I shouldn't be expectin' to see a Louisiana anytime soon?

Don't get your hopes up. It's just disappointment from here on out.

[Sort of. Gabriel supposes it depends on how you've come in.]

Unless you like closets that can give you anything, and a four-strikes-you're-out death rule.

Well, I'm pretty good at dealing with disappointment. Had a whole string of bad luck recently. Before the whole kidnappin' incident. Disappointment ain't so bad. [ Closets that can give you anything? The hell does that even mean? ] Four in general or just here? [ Benny's got a few deaths under his belt and he'd rather not ring the final bell in this place. ]

Just here. [He hopes. He's got one strike, too, if it counts elsewhere.]

Guess you should be right at home. Supposedly if you die five times the place takes something from you, but that's just a rumor.
