someone nice enough to distract me from having a meltdown on a very public network bc i dont know what the fuck is going on and all these people know me that i've never met before in my life and it's freaking me out
no subject
That's never easy.
You're in the Trench, which is like a pocket dimension that tends to collect people. And some of those people are not very good at letting someone ease their way in.
They are the annoying crabs. Squids ink them and Wanda Fish wiggle their fins and make them disappear.
no subject
Can the ugly Dean squid and Wanda fish get together and make them go away?
no subject
[ be careful what you wish for, deano. ]
Where are you?
no subject
[ sljdkfh ]
In a big ass cabin this guy Raleigh says is mine. Going off the clothes and the car out front, I believe him, but it's a little weird.
[ the house of his dreams just HAPPENS to be here? and his car? ]
no subject
[ most of the time. perhaps wanda has more choice given her powers, but she wants to believe others do, too. ]
I will come via the lamp.
[ aka her powers. she's not going to lamp this shit when she can just teleport. ]
Do you think there are any fish traps I should be aware of?
no subject
No. I checked the warding. It's pretty powerful, but it's not geared towards any Sleepers. Just the monsters.
no subject
I'll be there with bells on.
[ and she is, in a nice cloud of red and lacking a very significant lamp. at least his home looks as it should, even if it feels empty. sometimes, wanda wishes she wasn't so sensitive to what was invisible around her.
she doesn't venture quickly to the front door. a part of her does want to give the impression it doesn't take a mere quick thought to travel. (gotta manage someone's overwhelming feelings, you know?) ]
Knock knock.
no subject
cool, see you soon :)
[ smiley faces, Dean, what is this, the 90s? Jesus.
He shakes his head, pockets the omni and gets a liquor bottle out in case she'd like a drink. He doesn't imagine it'll take too long - if she knew him before, she'll know where the cabin is and that there's a creepy lamp...thing out front.
When she texts again, he'll go open the door, flash a rueful little smile and move to let her in. ]
no subject
she smiles, ] You look very much like a squid.
no subject
Just Anakin Skywalker, apparently. What a fun one to have. ]
Yeah? It's the plaid, isn't it. C'mon in.
no subject
[ she chuckles and drops her hand after a moment. ]
So, how overwhelmed are you? A one? A fifteen thousand?
no subject
[ the plaid is charming, you know it is. ]
Uh, probably somewhere close to the fifteen grand mark. It's a little weird but -- I dunno. Kinda cool, I guess? Walk into a strange town and everyone knows your name. It's like Cheers, but with more monsters.
no subject
[ she remembers watching a few episodes of cheers when she was in sokovia and at the avengers compound. the bar seemed to be like a hair salon—they know everyone's business. ]
It'll get easier. They'll stop expecting you to be someone you're not with some time and some more plaid.
no subject
[ Just like that, actually. It's fucking with him a little, but so far there's only one person that he's been told doesn't actually like him. ]
Good thing I have a whole closet full of it.
no subject
No plain colours? It would bring out your eyes a little more if you settled on something like hot pink.
[ while wanda is a great stylist of the decades, she's a poor personal stylist. ]
Is it strange to have your things here? Or a comfort?
no subject
[ really bring out the green. ]
It's a little weird. Both, I guess. It's nice knowing I have stuff, my clothes, weapons. A...lot of weapons. But it's still kind of eerie. Like it isn't really mine.
no subject
but she can at least empathise with strangeness. she is, after all, the weird one. ]
Maybe you can look at it like you're safekeeping it for a little while. One day, it'll feel like your stuff.
no subject
[ A smart way to look at it. Looking back on the network had been a mistake, half his damn private life had been flashed all over the place, in several iterations. Weird. ]
It's weird having my car here, too. Like...where am I gonna use it in a place that has freakin' carriages and teleportation? I miss open highways.
no subject
[ she smiles, not quite sure if this will make him feel at ease. it had long ago, back when he had a better understanding of what he had to lose in the trench. ]
It's a very indestructible kind of car. [ she smiles and wiggles her fingers. ] I'm a bit of a mechanic.
[ a magical mechanic who can't tell what's up from a car, but, hey, she tries. ]
no subject
Indestructible, huh? You help me out with something?
no subject
I made it so that it might survive a little dent or a hundred. You'll see. Not a single dent on it or even a scratch.
no subject
Kinda noticed that. She's pretty pristine. Also noticed she doesn't...seem to need gas anymore. You do that too?
[ because when he'd first arrived, that had been a worry for sure. Where the fuck do you get gas in a place like this? ]
