Good morning! Still enjoying the oasis, are you? Of course you are. You don't want to go when it's so lovely in here... Even if you can't fall asleep, it's wonderful. Suddenly it seems that the flowers are blooming everywhere and the colors are somehow brighter.

[ mission: players take a look at this and other similar articles. there's trouble in the paradise. feel free to keep exploring the oasis. ]

[ puts hand on swordhilt instead. ]

So. Were the bones at least enough to convince you?

[sawedoff]

We're not leaving just because some poor bastard kicked it here.

[inenochian]

No one has slept, Dean. Not one of you.

[ please. it's dawn and i swore i'd start dragging you all out of here. ]

[sawedoff]

So we find out what's going on-

[you know plan a]

[although he still has no idea why he's defending the idea of staying here]

[inenochian]

We looked. All night. All we discovered was skeletons, which suggests this place is not going to remain hospitable much longer.

[ fuck plan a we are on plan b somewhere else immediately. ]

Go find Clara and Sam. I'll gather up the new arrivals.

[sawedoff]

No, Cas! We're staying!

[ave maria plays in head]

[inenochian]

[ turns back to him, fists clenched. ]

It's pointless to keep looking for the reason this place is affecting you all, because you would still not want to leave. So I say we are going, whether you consent or not.

[sawedoff]

[i thought consent was supposed to be important to angels. you're a travelrapist. noncon leaving.]

I'm sorry, Cas. It's not happening. I'm staying with or without you.

[inenochian]

[ you said "no" but you really mean "yes." you humans like to tease. ]

... [ it's not really dean saying that, it isn't. it isn't. ]

Then you leave me no choice.

[sawedoff]

Don't even- Cas.

[he's a toddler right now and he will throw a kicky feet shitfit if you try to forcibly remove him he will and it will be embarrassing]

Why can't you just let me be? It's good here. We have it good. Don't screw with it.

[inenochian]

[ why do you make me do this. ]

[ grabby. ]

[sawedoff]

[no NOO]

[MOM I DONT WANT TO LEAVE DISNEYLAND]

[all elbows and knees of grownass man throwing a shitfit resistance]

[inenochian]

[ I'M SORRY SWEETHEART BUT THE HOTEL PACKAGE WAS PREPAID ]

[ yes taking that many elbows to the face/knees to the gut is unpleasant, and dean is taller, but mr. smites-towns-on-cardio-days isn't going to have a problem with holding on and letting dean wear himself out. ]

[ still, no reason not to crowd in close to protect the softer areas. ]

[sawedoff]

[gives up grappling with ironman when he's obviously not letting up. hands of defeat trapped between them]

Okay! Okay. Let me friggin go. God damnit.

[his sudden surrender is suspect but you know]

[inenochian]

[ trusts dean :) ]

[ gently eases up on his grip, torso moving away to arm's length very, very slowly. ]

Okay?

[sawedoff]

I said okay.

[fixes his clothes with the grouchy flair of a man emasculated twice in one day]

Let's go get the others. If you're not gonna let it go.

[he doesn't sound happy about it anyway]

[inenochian]

[ relieved sigh. ]

[ nods and lets go of dean's arms. going to feel much better when all of these fussy humans are safe and not so likely to become piles of bones under creepervines. ]

[sawedoff]

[trudging. and being a bitch about it.]

[leans down to start shoving shit back into bags when they reach camp and waits until his back is turned in true weasely winchester fashion to pull a knife out of his jacket, slicing his palm on it and making quick work of a sigil in the dirt]

Why couldn't you just leave it be, Cas?

[inenochian]

[ now where is sam to be our packmoose? ]

[ just finishing the knot in his coat's little leather ties when dean speaks up. ]

[ looks over shoulder at him and sees the blood. ]

Dean, wait, that's too far and you know--

[sawedoff]

I'm sorry-

[oh my god someone stop him he has no idea why he's doing this hE JUST REALLY WANTS TO STAY]

[slams hand down on the sigil]

[inenochian]

[ a scream and a flash of light. ]

[ supply pack spills on the grass. ]

[ good job, dean. everyone in the oasis saw that. ]

[sawedoff]

Cas?

[oops]
[looks at hand all whathaveidone]

-No. No, Cas--

[if he had bobby this would be a balls moment]

[idjit]

[look what you did]
