Moss, moss, everywhere. Luckily the terrain is getting smoother, no more sharp rocks underneath the green moss, waiting to break your ankles. The forest looks like no one has been here for ages. No B&B for you. The good news is that the animals don't fear humans and you should have no problem catching yourself some dinner.

[ stops gutting and looks at him like bro ur fucked up ] That's cheery. [ raises eyebrows up. there's always time for peace and quiet, old man. ]

You think so? [ back to work, occasionally wiping his hands when they get too slippery. ] I mean, I know nothing about spells or whatever, but- [ rubs his nose on his arm ] -I dunno, man. From what I've learned from here it's that there are probably consequences.

[sawedoff]

Worse consequences than people getting spellnapped? Maybe never seeing their families again? Their lives screwed up completely? [not to mention the people that have died. or disappeared. or you know. gestures gory knife between them] I mean we don't even know how many people this thing's grabbed. It could be hundreds. We sure as hell aren't the only ones. Don't you think it's time we did something about it?

[anything? other than laying down and taking it. i mean sure, getting themselves out might be a long shot and they might have to play nice skipping along the yellow brick road but no one said they couldn't try to stop it from hurting more people]

[ stops his knife work while he speaks so he can look at him without cutting himself or something, frowning slightly with a small tilt of his head ]

It's not... really our job. [ not in a disagreeing tone, though, more like thinking out loud ] I'm not saying it's not worth a shot, we should look into it, but not if it jeopardizes our chances of getting back home. You know, in case it requires some [ air quotes ] quid pro quo, or whatever.

[sawedoff]

That's where you're gonna go with that? I say, let's try to help some of the schmucks in the same position as us and you say yeah but not if I can't get what's mine?

[raises eyebrows at him judgily before shaking his head and goes back to sawing at bambi]

Man. You people need to start looking beyond number 1. Anyway, don't get ahead of yourself. Just ask around. See what we can see.

[dices]

[ raises eyebrows up at him in judgement too ]

What's wrong with not wanting to risk getting stuck here? [ not everyone has hero syndrome ] I didn't say I don't want to help, I do, but [ points to the camp general direction ] Imagine if this-- spell or whatever calls for all of us to stay. I don't think we have the right to decide for them, you know? [ back to gutting ] You said it yourself, man. People have families to go back to.

[sawedoff]

I said don't get ahead of yourself, so take that tinhat off. No one's getting stuck here.

[wipes guts off on his thigh and gets up to get the fire back to life]

[dices]

[ hands go up again in a sort of white flag gesture ] All right, relax. Just making small talk.

[ wipes his hands in a rag and looks over to the camp again, smiling a little before shaking his head with a breathy laugh ]

I trust you to the right thing, man. [ sets the knife down for a second to scratch at his scruffy jaw. he figures after that little get sam home episode he's trying to make things right and all of that. might be wrong, but that's the impression he's leaving at least ] You're a good guy, Dean. Deep down. [ mocking tone like haha so deep down haha oh funny ]

[sawedoff]

[one of those fake you think you're so funny laughs. pokes at fire. live. breathe. be free]

It's not about being a good person, it's about doin what's right. Clean up after the joker that brought us here. Now if he hadn't gone and died on us right after we got here we could get some questions answered, but since we got squat for leads we might as well just start poking around and see where it gets us.

[ ur such a tuff guy my kororo goes doki doki u manry man ]
[ idk ]

[ arches his eyebrows up. you know who does the right things right? here's a hint: it's not the bad people. doesn't say anything about it though, watching him entice the fire ]

Shouldn't the spell have died with the guy? [ that's what happens in the movies at least... ]

[sawedoff]

[winchester logic nick get used to it]

Shoulda. Didn't. So either he wasn't behind it in the first place or it's somethin I never heard of.
