[ figuring out how to use the device isn't the hard part, no, it's swallowing the fact that either purgatory changed on him in what could only be described as seriously trippy as shit way, or he's in yet another new dimension. so have dean, wonderland, covered in dirt and grime from head to toe. it doesn't take squinting to notice the obvious splashes of blood either, though all of it's dried as if he hasn't changed his clothes in a while...

in his hand is a massive weapon; axe-like in shape, with a blade made of something unrecognizable but decidedly dangerous. ]

Alright, listen up. This is how it's gonna go; whoever thought this-- [ he gestures vaguely around with the tip of his weapon. ] -- was a great idea? Hand up now. You and I are gonna have a couple words, and how pretty they end up bein' depends entirely on you. [ a threat is laced in every single word. ]

Or I can always just start demandin' answers-- [ you know the violent way. purgatory kinda rubs off on you after a while. ] -- 'cause you know what? I don't have time for this. Not today. [ not when one minute benny had been going on about something or another and now the vampire isn't anywhere to be seen and his search for cas is interrupted.

which leads him to adding, after a pause; ]

Cas, if you're here for some messed up reason, lem'me know. Same for you, Benny.

[ end feed. ]

[ Ruby rolls her eyes right on cue, looking thoroughly unimpressed with his threats. She's heard them before, alright. But she's kind and she let's him rant and rave as she munchies on another Cheeto, making a show of licking the fake cheesy powder off her finger tips. Don't need them to turn all orange, after all. ]

Please. If I knew I'd rented another re-run I wouldn't have bothered walking into the video store. Try another line, will ya?

[ She tilts her head to the side. ]

You really think I'd be so lame as to go with a whole villain speech and everything? Give a girl a little credit where it's due. I saved your ass enough times to have earned it by now.

[ganking]

Wrong, the only reason you ever saved anyone's ass was to color yourself with every possible shade of fake good guy. [ fake good guy is really the best he could come up with right now, pls excuse him.

but then, that leads to the next question, one he's almost not too eager to ask. ]

If what you're sayin' is true and Sam's really here, why the hell're you even alive? Even he's not gonna fall for the blonde dye.

[ sam should have no reason to spare her, none. ]

video;

[fiendfries]

[ Yeah, she is thoroughly unimpressed with that comeback. ]

You're off your game, Dean. Usually I can at least pretend to be hurt.

[ Playing nice or not, they never really got along. But Ruby shrugs to his question. It's a good one, after all.]

Why don't you ask him? Maybe he has a better understanding of things than you do.

[ganking]

[ not a whole lot of time for witty comebacks in purgatory, and even then, ruby has always deserved just that extra bit of something special when it comes to insults. ]

There ain't a single excuse he can give that'll save your ass.

[fiendfries]

You've got a lot of catching up to do, buddy.

[ Which is ironic coming from the demon who is technically a few years behind. But she knows how to gather her resources and recover information quickly. She's figuring out who is reliable and who isn't, who is malleable and who isn't worth the time. ]

For the record, big villain speeches aren't my thing. That should've been your first tip off. You'll have other things to worry about here, though, so don't let me get in your way.

video;

[ganking]

You sure about that?

[ smirking, finally, and with something dangerous etched into it, something he's perfected during his stay in purgatory. ]

Oh, I always have time for you, Ruby, really do.

[ especially given your interest in sam, which is something dean can't allow, not again, big villain speeches or not. ]

Now how long you have? That's entirely up to you.

video;

[fiendfries]

[ Well then. That's a face that she hasn't seen on him before. Intriguing. ]

Alright, Dr. Lecter. I'll let you take a bite. Just make sure you don't take off more than you can chew.

video;

[ganking]

Don't worry, you're small fry.

[ it's on, no matter what sam might claim later. ]

video;

[fiendfries]

Then you'll have plenty of time to chase your tail. This almost sounds like a vendetta.

[ Crunch. ]

[ganking]

[ once he's done skinning you he's stuffing that bag in your mouth ruby!!!!! ]

You know, it kinda is. You did screw us over pretty nice and good, after all.

video;

[fiendfries]

Yeah, that's what I keep hearing.

[ She's unimpressed with the revelation, but she already has a new angle she's working. She doesn't expect Dean to jump at the bait, however. ]

Are you expecting me to start jumping for joy?

video;

[ganking]

I don't know what to expect with you-- except a whole lot more bullshit with every word you spit out.

video;

[fiendfries]

You seriously think I'm gonna try to deny what everyone keeps selling me as the truth?

[ How's that for bullshit, Dean? ]

video;

[ganking]

I wouldn't put it past you to come up with some kinda last minute epic fantasy story as an excuse.

[ she had weaved quite the tale before if you ask dean, after all. all about trust and kicking demon butt. ]

video;

[fiendfries]

That's sweet but even I'm not that great of a storyteller.

[ Lies and lies and more lies. ]

I'm a practical girl, Dean. I don't like to waste my time and if I hear over and over that I twist the knife in your backs? Weird as it is, I gotta accept it. Funny, I feel worse about Sam than you.

video;

[ganking]

[ RRRGHHH-- ]

You don't feel worse about shit. [ he's seconds away from hunting her down right now and putting an end to this. if only he wasn't in a completely new place with no idea what's really lurking just behind the corner. ]

Maybe you accept it? Doesn't mean you ain't gonna start plotting some new fucked up plan to screw us over. [ screw sam over. ]

video;

[fiendfries]

[ 0:) ]

Invalidating my feelings? That hurts.

[ She's not surprised. Laying the seeds of her story is all she needs. Dean wouldn't believe her if she said the sky was blue and he needed air to breathe. ]

Not that you care, but that's not how it started. Granted you're a pain in the ass to put up with.

video;

[ganking]

Good.

[ sorry, rubes, but you deserve a whole lot more than just some hurt feelings. ]

You're right, I don't care.

[ she could turn into a saint for all he cares, he's still no giving her a pass. ]

video;

[fiendfries]

No cheerleader in Dean Winchester. What a twist.

[ Your support or lack thereof doesn't change her plans at all, Dean-o. ]

Tell you what. How about we switch things up a bit; I'll play nice and you can draw your own conclusions--oh wait, that's what always happens.

video;

[ganking]

[ ugh. he hasn't missed you at all. ]

Funny how doin' that actually ends up with me bein' right about you and whatever it is you're doing, too.

video;

[fiendfries]

[ The feeling's mutual, pal. ]

Then tell me, Dean, what am I up to?

video;

[ganking]

Nothing good.

[ simply put. ]

video;

[fiendfries]

You're right. I should just let people fall to their deaths. How inconsiderate of me.

video;

[ganking]

[ dean rolls his eyes, another frustrated sigh escaping him. ]

Whatever. You know what, we're done here. You stay away from Sam or I'll make you regret ever gettin' a second chance here.

[ at breathing air. dean ends the feed with that. ]
