[Bela is standing in front of the camera, dressed in pants and shirt and a brown leather jacket-rather common clothing considering the eclectic pile of clothes behind her. If anyone cares for those kind of details they'll see a wide arrangement of clothing, from suits to cocktail dresses to waitress uniforms and even a maid costume.]

So. The closet? It's a very nice touch, I have to admit. I certainly wouldn't mind having one back home. Though seemingly free food, board, and clothing just means there's a hidden cost. So what is our benevolent caretaker charging us?

And what becomes valuable in a place like this? Is there a currency in particular items? Favors? Souls? [And there's a wry smile there to indicate that might possibly be a joke.]

Or does everyone here work on altruism?

Action A: Wandering Wonderland
[Not one to idly sit when her surroundings are so undiscovered, and therefore a little bit threatening, Bela takes to exploring the grounds with a casual step that belies just how uncomfortable she really feels. She can be found idly touching decor along the walls of the mansion, or grabbing something to eat in the dining room, or eyeing the titles of books in the library even if she doesn’t actually reach for any right now.

[ooc: This is your find her wandering anywhere you want to option.]

Action B: An unlocked room is an invitation.
[After exploring the more open grounds, Bela can be found roaming the hallways. It’s a seemingly innocent gesture by itself, except for the subtle jiggle of a handle here and there as she moves about. Just her way of...well, casing the place. Not that she’s planning on stealing anything quite yet, but she’ll feel more comfortable once she’s got a good map of the surroundings and people around her since it doesn’t seem like she’ll be leaving very soon.

Occasionally, when she finds an unlocked door, she casually opens it just to get a good idea of the room-and on the occasion that someone is actually in their room without bothering to lock the door, well, she smiles sheepishly and offers an embarrassed apology.]

Oh, I’m sorry. I have the wrong room. [Ignore the subtle sweep around the room before she tries to retreat.]

Action C: A locked one is just a challenge.
[She’s good. For a while. But after finding so many empty and unlocked rooms, she’s a little curious to see what’s inside a locked one. And just as curious to see how easy it is to pick a lock on these particular doors.

So she chooses a random one in a rather quiet hallway, listens near the door for any tell-tale sign of shuffling, and when she thinks she’s in the clear, she kneels down and jimmies the lock, before pushing the door open. If there’s no immediate reaction, she’ll take a step inside. Just a quick scouting mission, don’t worry, she’s not here to steal anything.]

That's certainly something we can agree on.

[And there's a moment of hesitation on her part.] ...Why did they want you dead?

Who, Lilith?

[ It's been so long that he takes a minute, brow twitching in thought. Had it been that she'd seen him as a threat? Or had that just been what he'd been told by Ruby? Ruby, the liar, the betrayer?

Should've known better than to trust a demon. Any demon. ]

I don't think she did. Not really.

[ How could she? Her plan was to revive Lucifer, and he'd been the vessel. The devil's first creation could never have really wanted him dead. ]

It's complicated. And it doesn't matter anymore.

[Doesn't matter. Well, that spreads a twitch of anger over her features before it's smoothed out easily enough.] I suppose a girl just wants to know what she died for.

[But if Lilith hadn't wanted Sam dead, either they had simply been toying with her or-] Perhaps Crowley did.

[But fine. None of it matters and she waves a dismissive hand. It's certainly preferable that way if the grudge is gone too.]

So what trouble were you getting into before coming here?

You died because you were involved with demons. I wish I could give you a better answer, but the demon you made a deal with was one of the worst, and she used you and lied to you before she killed you. That's what demons do.

[ It's harsh, yes, but he has no love for demons. Never has. After misplacing his trust in more than one of them, Sam's (hopefully) learned his lesson. ]

Crowley wasn't involved in all that.

[ No, not until later. Back then, it was just the queen bitch toying with all of them. Her and Ruby. ]

Oh, you know. The usual. [ More demon crap, actually, but nothing he wants to share with her. ] Can't change what happened back there by worrying about it here.

[ Not that that stops him. Ever. ]

[She rolls her eyes as Sam states the obvious. It's not entirely unexpected, but the young Sam she knew wasn't that harsh even in his cold truths. And there's a little bit of heat there.]

...Did you get screwed by a demon too, Sam?

[And she's not going to call him a liar, but come on, not worrying about what's happening back home? That's so not his or his brother's MO. So she just gives him a look.]

Usually. That's their M.O.

[ Even if he was going to go into specifics with Bela, which he wouldn't, he'd keep it off the network. The calls are too publicly available for any discussion of their home world, with her or otherwise. ]

Demons, angels. They're all about the same level of dick.

[Oh you did. That's cute. Not surprising though. She had managed to do it several times, a demon could probably get away with it too.]

...Angels. Are you being serious?

Sure. What, you thought demons were the only crap to exist back there? You know better than that.

[ She could've been a hunter, Bobby told them, except that she cared about herself way more than anyone else. ]

[She huffs slightly at that.]

I didn't think angels would bother in the petty affairs of humans. How did you cross one?

It's been way more than just one. [ The hunter scoffs, trying to think of the first angel they'd met, and- had it been Cas? ]

Some of them are here. You'll see for yourself.

Angels are here? [And her brow raises slightly in concern. She doesn't know anything about angels, except they probably aren't too keen on people who are lined up for Hell.]

How can you tell?

Yeah. [ Well, Castiel, and... are there any others? There were, once, but they've come and gone as fast as anyone else. Wonderland has power over everyone and everything, seems like. ]

How can I tell- what, that they're angels? Usually they're happy to tell you, since they think they're better than everyone and that they know everything.

[Duh, Sam. Keep up. Iron hissing, holy water melting, salt avoiding. The usual signs, you know.]

Preferably in some way that doesn't make me sound like I'm not capable of a decent pick-up line.

[ Well, that's a hilarious image. ]

Just don't worry about it for now. If any of the big bads show again, I'll let you know.
