[ 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. ]

[ganking]

[ and through every haughty word, he kinda digs her more. still, waving hands in surrender!! ]

Alright, alright, so you know your scroll and book stuff? I got it, I got it. [ no need to get so scary again!!

except... ]

Though I guess one could count as a mistake-- I mean, that's what bringing back a three-thousand year old mummy kinda sounds like to me.

[video] HEHEHEHEHEH

[nascensibility]

[Evelyn wrinkles her nose and takes another deep breath.]

That...was...a mistake easily remedied. And who are you to judge?

[The second comment could be taken innocently or personally, whichever he likes, but through Sam and Philip she at least knows the Winchester profession.]

[video] <3333

[ganking]

Was it really, though? [ 'cause there's actually a story he'd like to hear. ]

I ain't judging-- just pointing out. [ c: ]

[video] he lp

[nascensibility]

[Oh my God he is just like her husband, it's almost infuriating.]

Well, if I told you, I'm not sure you'd even believe me,

[said with a haughty toss of her hair and that ever-so-prim accent.]

[video] lmfao jesus this thread

[ganking]

Hey, I'm pretty sure I got plenty of creative, imaginative, and accepting bones in my body. Just try me, sweetheart.

[ and do so with the accent, sure. ]

[video] it keeps getting worse, and by worse I mean better

[nascensibility]

[Evelyn gives him another scrutinising look for an excruciatingly long moment. She knows full-well that he's very likely heard stories like hers before, that he's taken on the undead and came out still swinging.]

...oh, all right.

[Since Dean asked so nicely.]

I funded an expedition where the goal was to locate an ancient and lost city because I was utterly convinced that a book I'd heard about when I was younger could be found there. I was right, of course- [of course] -and read from the book, and as it turned out the artefact had supernatural properties and brought a vengeful mummy back from the afterlife, who was of the opinion that I was the reincarnation of his three-thousand year old lover and therefore he had to sacrifice me in a ritual to-

[handwave, handwave]

-revive their lost relationship.

[She's definitely leaving out the part about the plagues of Egypt, if only for the time being.]

[video] forever better tbh

[ganking]

[ see that little story there? it gets something of a look. ]

You really managed to create kind've a mess just by lookin' for some diary, huh? Jesus, and here I thought I knew all about messing up real bad. [ well, he still does, but gotta give her a hard time for this, definitely. ]

Something tells me you didn't tie the knot with him or get sacrificed.

[video] weeps into hands

[nascensibility]

[That look of Dean's is hardly well-deserved. Everyone makes mistakes, after all, even if those mistakes cost hundreds of people their lives and almost brought about the apocalypse and despite it being averted left her with terrible nightmares for years afterward.]

Oh? What gave it away?

[Evelyn sniffs, feeling that this chastisement comes unjustly.]

It was nine years ago, I'll thank you, but if you think you can make me feel any worse about it than I already do, you've another thing coming.

[Honestly, how can anyone stand his bloody company?]

[video] are they gonna be besties or what

[ganking]

[ oh, there's a sniff!! a sniff that means he's on the wrong path. ]

I ain't tryin' to make you feel worse about it, trust me. Something tells me you do that to yourself already, plenty. [ he knows all about guilt, too. ain't his job to make someone feel even more guilty... even if he might be partly doing that right now-- but purely out of curiosity. ] It's just a story I haven't heard before. Sometimes I'm shocked I haven't heard them all.

And you fixed it all, so no harm done. A-plus and all that.

[video] definite besties material right here

[nascensibility]

[Frankly, Evelyn is shocked - the way Philip once talked about Dean, she would have thought him more of a film buff. She's from 1935 and even she has borne witness to the dramatised Mummy movie with Mssr. Karloff. When did it come out, again? Three years or so ago?

She's almost certain someone got the idea after her brother went gallivanting off with some film types on a drinking binge and probably gave them the plot for the venture (although it certainly gave them a fright when they saw it advertised on a board in London, as if any of them needed reminding).]

I'm so glad to have your approval, [It would sound fully sarcastic were it not for her sultry smile.] Do you think I could get it in writing for posterity's sake?

[video] awwwwyeeeee

[ganking]

[ there are good movies and then there are movies we don't talk about. guess which one the mummy falls into. that, and dean's too busy pushing buttons to connect dots at the moment.

there's something about that sultry smile, after all. ]

Gonna frame it too?

[video]

[nascensibility]

Mmh, and hang it over my bed.

[It almost sounds like a promise. Almost. Evelyn has long-since learned how to manipulate men of this variety - nine years of being married to one will do that to you - and gives him a cursory once-over before wrinkling her nose.]

...but I certainly don't want it scribed by you in that state. You need to wash up.

[And scrub behind your ears, young man.]

[video]

[ganking]

[ you know, this is all going so super well until she mentions him needing a wash. while the idea of shower sounds amazing, dean only glances down at his oh-so-grimy self and then grins back at her. ]

You really don't like it? I figured it has the whole camouflage thing going for it. Worked real long and hard to get to this state, too.

[ spilled many guts!! defeated many enemies!! manly stuff!! ]

[video]

[nascensibility]

Perhaps if you were attempting to blend in at a turn-of-the-century slaughterhouse, it might be apropos.

[Which...is probably not that far off the mark regarding wherever he came from before arriving in Wonderland. She won't ask questions about whether that's his blood or someone else's. Today.]

But no, I don't like it. Why, are you taking suggestions as to what I would like?

[Because she can make an extensive list.]

[video]

[ganking]

[ well then. that has dean pausing some, because yeah, purgatory could definitely amount to some kinda slaughterhouse, he's sure, and thought has him laughing a short sound a beat later. ]

Maybe I was?

[ maybe he liked it, too. ]

Sure, yeah. You could write it all down for me and then I can dig out my lighter... I'm sure you know how the rest goes.

[ shove the list idea, really. ]

[video]

[nascensibility]

Undoubtedly.

[And how rude to suggest she let her hard work and excellent penmanship go up in flames.]

...well. I'll leave you to it. I trust you can bathe yourself without assistance.

[video]

[ganking]

What if I can't? You wouldn't refuse a bruised and battered guy the help, right.

[ come on, evelyn, it could be fun! he could do with some of that right now. ]

[video]

[nascensibility]

[The more suggestive "some of that" is way above your pay grade, Dean. She gives him a wry smile.]

You're a big boy. I think you can handle it.

[video]

[ganking]

[ SIGH. ]

The welcome wagon here needs some tweaking.

[video]

[nascensibility]

We can work on that later. Get some rest, Dean,

[Evelyn states with no small hint of finality.]

[video]

[ganking]

Alright, alright. It's been a real blast, Evelyn.

[ he'll cut the feed with that. ]
