The kind Loch Ness Monster (?) drops you off once the swamp comes to an end. The ground is dry and stable again, but the eerie fog lingers still. The old trees around you are covered in heavy moss, but you can tell you'll be soon out of the forest since the weak wind carries a smell of fresh air. One last push and you'll be out of here!

[ mission: don't get lost in the forest. ]

[smart ladies. just gives constantine a the lord is testing me face]

You got it. Demons are another story. Salt works, yeah, but it's kinda like getting a papercut. Stings but it ain't gonna slow em down. Holy water'll put hurt on them, give you a little time to get out of dodge.

[fitting slide back onto pistol...it's awkward mansplaining this]

Most likely you won't even know it's a demon until it's got its hands around your throat because they walk around in meatsuits. People like you and me.

[crotchbite]

[ this feels like an episode of x-files ]

That's reassuring. [ inspecting a spring ] And how are we getting holy water around these parts?

[ what even defines holy water? jesus? ]

[rhymeswithdesign]

Humans are unreasonable creatures bound by insufferable emotion and grudges. Still worthwhile to talk to them and maybe find out why they're suffering.

[gets misty-eyed at the mention of tea and biscuits, but powers through. starts rooting around in his pockets for his cigarettes.]

Most important thing to remember with demons is that exorcism usually isn't death. Unless you're unpossessable for some reason, make certain either you're in a protective circle, to keep the demon out, or it is, to keep it in.

[ONE AT A TIME]

[sawedoff]

You- [points a bore cleaner at him] -quit getting ahead of yourself. Or do you wanna take over?

[if you know everything, mr i get possessed like a doofus]

I get we're reading off different pages here with the whole different worlds crap but how about you save your comments until the end, professor.

[we havent even gotten to exorcisms yet we're still way back in holy water stop skipping chapters]

[rhymeswithdesign]

[wtf is that thing mate.]

Not at all. But things here work differently than either of our worlds, looks like. Just thought twice as much information might mean getting it right at least half of the time.

[this is constantine's serious face. lights the cigarette. possibly for dramatic effect.]

We're not just on different pages, we're reading two different books in the midst of an alien library.

[recurred]

[hunter babble]

[you guys done]

[can we get back to the interesting stuff]

[sawedoff]

[thank you constantine for alerting us of the obvious. now if you'll behave for two seconds. turns to hel again]

You can bless water yourself. Rosary, the right words, just add water.

[blasphemy is delicious]

[crotchbite]

[ she's with clara on this one. this bickering is getting ridic you two need to solve your issues ]

What, don't even need to be holding a Bible? [ kind of really amused because lol religion she can't take it seriously especially not after all of this ] That's handy.

[ looks at clara and then back at dean. what about what she was talking about ]

[rhymeswithdesign]

[shrugs.]

Doesn't work like that for me, but since "Jimmy" didn't seem like much of a priest I'd reckon whatever your system is works fine here.

If you've got time later I might be interested to learn your incantation.

[likes the idea of a demon-blooded professional blasphemer successfully blessing water.]

[recurred]

[scuse u hel i deleted]

[but i can ask it now]

What about the black blood?

[re: interrogation]

[sawedoff]

[nods at him and starts putting the cleaned and reassembled guns back into his bag]

Leviathans. Advanced class stuff. Haven't seen any rearing their uglyass heads around these parts yet so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

[rhymeswithdesign]

And I haven't a clue what that means, so cheers on fighting a beastie unknown to my Earth, mate.

[recurred]

[hard to lose sleep over them if you dont know wtf they are]

[crotchbite]

[ oops she had a psychic moment.

extra meticulous with the gun but with so many people around she's afraid someone might kick it so quickly puts it back together and straps it to the thigh holster

in stylized slowmo

clicks her tongue and glances at dean before tilting her head with a sort of smirk ]

You're fucked up. [ might be a compliment. might not. who knows! ]

[sawedoff]

[lol thanks.]

I'd say victim of circumstance but that might be giving circumstance too much credit.

[finishes packing it all away neatly and zips duffel up]

[rhymeswithdesign]

[a moment of silence for the Supernatural universe? all right. no questions from the class? all right.]

Don't make any promises to a demon you can't avoid keeping. Preferably don't make any promises, and certainly don't make any deals. Don't break any promises to a ghost, especially if it's predisposed to be vengeful.

[smoke ring.]

Do not fuck about with angels.

[recurred]

[this is all very christian]

Common sense.

[that sounds a lot like common sense]

[crotchbite]

[ why would you ever make a deal with a demon that just screams bad idea but well. maybe the price matches the reward or some shit.

whatever. halloween crap. ]

Anything else from preventing the holy ghost possession? [ that's what she's interested in to be fair ]

[sawedoff]

[dont fuck with angels is probably a good one to remember.]

Ghosts don't ride people much. Kind of a fluke thing. Have to be pretty pissed to get the juice to pull it off. If you're worried about somethin takin up residence again it's more likely gonna be a demon, in which case-

[makes an i really don't want to do this face but hooks fingers over his collar and tugs it down to show off the anti-possession ink on his chest]

We can get matchies. Demon free zone if you're sporting it.

[rhymeswithdesign]

Sometimes holy trinkets and saints' medallions repel ghosts, and sometimes, obviously, they don't. I find it helps to have an inside so unpleasant no bugger wants to share it.

[eyes dean's chest covetously, but not like most people eye dean's chest covetously.]

That really works? It's that simple? No wonder you don't bother with containment anymore.

[but what if i need to give something a lift? hm, maybe i could put one half on each forearm so it's only a complete symbol when i want it to be.]

[oh no wait that'd make me look like an arse.]

[recurred]

[kinda looks like you picked that out of a booklet but okay]

Does it have to be a tattoo?

[sawedoff]

[its functional not fashionable]

Tattoo, amulet, whichever you can get your hands on. Yeah, it works. Demon free since 2007.

[pulls jacket back up. all these little beady eyes on him.]

[rhymeswithdesign]

[well it's definitely not fashionable. still...]

I know what I'm doing when I get home, then.

[wait, dean's from the future? weird.]

[recurred]

[yeah ill pass]

So we got demons, ghosts, angels, and apparently leviathans. Any other nasties lurking about worth mentioning?

[like whats up with the redhead]
