[ Just like that, he's back in Wonderland and memories come flooding back. This is the first time he's truly left and come back and it's even more jarring than he'd expected.

For a moment, he just looks around his room, examining things and checking that all of his belongings are just where he left them. When he gets to his dresser, he pauses at the drawer with the false bottom. It's not until his fingers are sliding over the little vials of blood that he registers what he's doing and he slams the drawer shut with an angry bang.

Then he finally steps outside of his room and into the floating void that contains chunks of Wonderland. ]

Bollocks.

[ He pulls out his device with a sort of haste reserved for near-death experiences. ]

Not sure how long I've been gone, but you seem to have gone to pieces without me.

[ Oh, he is hilarious, isn't he? ]

Is anyone out there or is this some sort of cosmic irony? Because irony's only funny when it's not happening to me.

[ Private message to Sam Winchester and Castiel ]

Boys, I'd like a word if you're still alive.

[ Private message to Blake ]

I need to talk to you.

[ And then he sets about floating himself from chunk to chunk and looking for signs of life as he waits for a response that may never come. On each new chunk of mansion, he walks with a caution that speaks of endless possibilities--none of them good. This could be an event, but it could also be the end. For all he knows, he's even further along than the people who came back from the future. ]

[ Oh goodie! Just the demon she hoped she would never see. She hadn't really thought it was worth bothering much with the King of the Crossroads back when she was in the pit, but his obvious disdain for how Hell and hierarchy was supposed to work has rubbed her in all the wrong ways.

And there are a lot of wrong ways to get her.

Luckily for Ruby, playing nice for the humans and halo-wearers doesn't mean being nice to this guy. ]

Oh I don't know, I'm having one big laugh over here.

[ When he responds, it's after a while and delivered tersely. ]

After last time? Forget it.

[ Besides, he's a little busy with the small expanse of world he's currently occupying. ]

[Adam's lips twitch slightly. He might not consider himself in alignment with anyone from Below (except for his Crowley, of course) but he always appreciates terrible puns. And really, if he has a choice between an over-achieving demon and Lucifer, he'll take the over-achieving demon every time.

Studying the self-appointed King of Hell for a few seconds, the boy finally responds casually as though it's perfectly natural for reality to be in itty, bitty, floating pieces.]

There's folks still about. Not sure how many are going t'be if this keeps up for long,, and if everybody's still here since you were here last, but for now there's still plenty who're about.

[Castiel might have been able to celebrate Crowley's disappearance from the mansion with some fanfare if he hadn't also been trying to track down Dean at the same time.

The whole place falling apart like this has only made it more difficult for him to search for Dean, as trying to find his room is more or less impossible in these circumstances.

When a message comes through on his phone and it's the person he least wants to hear from, Castiel sighs heavily and calls back.]

Why would I not be alive?

[Crowley should know by now that Castiel comes back with the same tenacity as a cockroach.]

[Aziraphale is in the library ~~of course~~ when Crowley makes his way there. He is back to shelving a new batch of books he has collected, but with one marked difference: his wings are out. They are huge white feathery things with little black spots on them, vaguely reminiscent of a snowy owl. When he hears footsteps he turns to see who has arrived.]

Oh! Crowley!

[ Define "alive." ]

Still here. Where and when?

It's not just you. Everybody's laughing at this one.

_{[Hey, Crowley. This is Adam's way of trying to say "hello" and "I haven't forgotten you hung up on me" and "oh, you're not dead" at the same time, not that he'd actually noticed with all that much awareness that Crowley had vanished. He's not that great at keeping track of people in between lunatic murderers, Michael, and now the world... well, literally falling apart.

He'd been alive long enough to see previews for that 2012 movie with John Cusack. This is a lot like that, and it's a tad distracting, though you wouldn't be able to tell from his collected tone of voice. He's dealing, nothing to see here.]}

Do demons have little bat wings to fly around with?

[Amy is relieved to see Crowley's face on the screen. While she's had the mechanics of Wonderland explained to her, she doesn't know yet if she can trust them.]

It's been a while. I wasn't sure you'd be coming back to us.

[She tips her heads as she looks around her, pieces of Wonderland floating in the distance.]

Although you did pick a hell of a time to return. Are you somewhere safe?

[Unlike him, Bela lacks the ability to float, so she has pretty much settled from hopping from each piece to piece - well, the ones that were close together at least. Eventually, she finds herself a piece with a wardrobe and requests a few much needed supplies.

If Crowley comes across her, he'll see Bela sitting down and sipping from a flash of tea, legs drawn up to her chest. She looks slightly miserable.]
