[Once he's had time to calm down (mostly) and wash off all the dirt from Purgatory, Dean focuses his attention on making the World Mobile do what he wants. Unfortunately, what he wants is to contact his brother, so he won't be finding much success.

But he does end up turning on the video function without realizing it as he fumbles around with the device.]

--piece of crap, mobile communication my ass! Call Sam.

[He pauses a moment, and you can hear a few beeping noises, like he's trying to dial a number, but it's no-go.]

Son of a bitch!

[Frustrated, he chucks the WM onto his bed, which also cuts off the video feed.]

[oooooooooh you said a bad wooooooord.]

Who's Sam?

Re: (video)

[michaels_sword]

[Dean says a lot of bad words.]

He's my brother. Tall guy, long brown hair... Seen him around?

[noodlegoggles]

[he shakes his head.] Nooo, I don't think so. I've seen a bunch of tall guys tho, but I dunno if they're your brother.

[michaels_sword]

Damn...

[He sighs heavily in frustration.] You know the way outta here at least?

[noodlegoggles]

[he shakes his head once more.] Nope. There's some weird looking train station, but-- I haven't gotten on it yet.

[nghoooh]

Unfortunately, these communication devices don't work as our old phones did.

[He's tried. Sorry bro.]

Re: [Video]

[michaels_sword]

Great. So how the hell am I supposed to get a hold of anyone?

[Video]

[nghoooh]

You're not, I imagine. That's one of the many horrors of this new location, unfortunately.

[michaels_sword]

And they expect me to work for them? [He shakes his head.] I'm not lifting a finger for this "World Mart."

[nghoooh]

I wish you the best of luck in resisting. Unfortunately, I doubt going on strike is going to have them send you home any faster.

action.

[ Shortly after his trek outside the building with Souji, he's strolling right back into his room with an empty bladder and a head full of questions.

Don't worry though-- outwardly, he's the very picture of an absent mind. The door swings open just on time to catch 'son of a bitch'. ]

Hey now, I'm sure my mother didn't mean whatever that she said.

Re: action.

[michaels_sword]

[Dean just pauses for a moment, giving Phoenix an "Are you for real" look.]

Uh huh. I'm sure she's a lovely woman. And who the hell are you?

[Cause I guess let's say Dean arrived while Phoenix was out!]

I think these things can only contact others who are also here. I've tried numbers back home but it doesn't work.

[ So, this "Sam" probably isn't here. Sorry, man. ]

Re: video;

[michaels_sword]

Great. Stuck in retail hell.

[He's almost starting to miss Purgatory.]

[tarotcards]

Tell me about it. The customers here seem almost hellbent on making it hard.

[ Think those human ones are bad? Wait till you deal with alien customers. Oh gross, don't touch me with your slimy tentacle SCREAM ]

[michaels_sword]

[He knits his eyebrows for a moment, thinking.]

You don't know a guy named Crowley in charge around here, do you?

[Current theory: This is actually Hell, and Crowley is in charge.]

[tarotcards]

[ Crowley? ]

Don't think so. As far as I know, we don't even have the name of the guy in charge.

[Fai calls him back because it is obvious he is new and confused and that just isn't a good way to be.]

Are you trying to call home? I don't think these phones have a very good long distance program.

Re: [Video]

[michaels_sword]

I can see that. You'd think I could at least send an email with this crappy thing.

[Yeah, Dean is new and really not pleased about his situation.]

[Video]

[celes_mage]

I'm not sure what email is but if it is anything like actual mail then it probably has a problem with the whole other dimensional..alternate world..thing.

[michaels_sword]

...You're kidding, right? Even old dudes at least heard of the Internet.

[Wince. Oh dear. Okay, whatever bad day Allen is having, it actually sounds like this guy is having it worse. Allen's bad day feels more like it's part of a series of unending bad days that have just become a kind of constant dull hum at the back of his head, so this whole being kidnapped thing sort of just seems like it's par the course.

He clears his throat cautiously, trying not to ask anything that might agitate things further.]

Is Sam someone you're looking for? Could you describe him? Maybe he's here too and someone else has seen him, or at the very least we can keep an eye out for someone matching his description.

[michaels_sword]

[More like a rough year for Dean.]

Tall guy, girly hairstyle, looks like he just walked out of a harlequin romance book cover. Don't let that fool you though. He's a huge nerd.

Sorry this is so late!

[excommunicated]

[I suppose Purgatory will that to you; no rest for them exorcist-types.

Allen is a little unsure what to make of that description, really. Or rather, the physical stuff is easy enough, but the addendum makes it hard to tell what kind of situation and relationship Sam and this person have.]

I'll...keep that in mind. If I come across a Sam fitting the description you've given, who should I say is looking for him?

No worries! I have my laggy moments myself, so all's good =P

[michaels_sword]

Dean.

[He'd give descriptions of his other friends, but they're all dead. Or at least, he assumes they are. There is one other thing, though.]

...You haven't seen any kind of employee parking or anything like that, have you?
