[Accidental video]

[michaels_sword]

[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.]

LA? What does that mean?

[michaels_sword]

Los Angeles. You know, Hollywood. Movies.

[excommunicated]

[That does help. In part, at least. Some of what Dean says is just jibberish to him, but overall it suggests a particular kind of relationship to possessions that Allen is at least partially aware of but never really found the appeal himself. All he knows is that there is a very fine line between endearing and obnoxious in this area, but at least know he has a bit a better understanding Dean is the former.]

Ah. Well, it sounds like your car does mean a lot to you, so if it's a comfort I hope the powers that be were able to bring it--her with you here for the duration. Which I hope won't be a long one for you. I imagine, like the rest of us, you have somewhere you'd much rather be right now.

[noodlegoggles]

[his eyes widen comically.] R-Really?! Wooahhh! That's so cool! What was it like?

[michaels_sword]

Awesome. Me and my brother even went on a real movie set.

[It was actually kind of awful, but Dean knows better than to tell a kid the true nature of his work.]

[michaels_sword]

Yeah. I've seen a lot of weird stuff, but never heard of anyone getting trapped in a bizzaro retail dimension. I'm not expecting too much, though. I doubt whatever sick bastard brought us here is the kind of guy who'd be considerate enough to bring my car.

[Maybe it is a little weird, but that Impala's the closest thing Dean's ever had to a home.]

video; late tag, sorry! midterms and all orz

[tarotcards]

[ He gives a nod. ]

Either everyone's good at playing clueless together or they don't know as much as us.

It's all right! Good luck!!

[michaels_sword]

Maybe I'll go out and do a little recon. Wouldn't be the first time I had to figure out a weird-ass situation, and it won't be the last.

[Video]

[nghoooh]

[There's a scoff at that.]

At least your roommate isn't a duck.

[Video]

[michaels_sword]

[Dean knits his brows and turns an ear slightly closer to the device, not sure if he heard that right. Or maybe "duck" is slang for something else where this guy comes from.]

A what?

[noodlegoggles]

Woahhh! What was that like? What kind of movie set was it for?

[michaels_sword]

Horror movie. The ghosts were pretty damn realistic.

[Video]

[nghoooh]

You heard correctly.

A bipedal fowl with a beak and feather... Who also speaks with a lisp and is quite a noise disturbance.

thank you! I actually just finished but now I'm sick, so haha orz

[tarotcards]

Every bit of help is great. I'm actually out in the city right now, so if you're fine with it, you can join me in asking around.

[ This city is huge so even if Souji has only been out here for an hour or two, he hasn't even covered half of the main area. Of course, that's mainly because these aliens are rather hard to, er, communicate to. Even with this magic translating thing, it's pretty damn difficult to stop them to give this strange human a moment. ]

[michaels_sword]

[Dean can't help but chuckle a little at that.]

Talking ducks? Sounds like something straight out of a cartoon.

eeeek, well at least the midterms are over!!

[michaels_sword]

Sure. Two sets of eyes are better than one, I guess. I'm Dean, by the way.

[This would be so much easier if Dean had his car.]

yes, at least!! goodbye midterms X(

[tarotcards]

[ A smile now. ]

Nice to meet you, Dean-san. I'm Souji Seta.

I can meet you at the front entrance of the dorms in a few minutes, if you like.

[michaels_sword]

...Just Dean's fine.

And sure. See you there.

video → action

[tarotcards]

[ And with that, Souji cuts off the video connection and shoves the phone into his phone. Alright, time to head right back to the dormitory and wait. He'll actually probably be late considering that he's somewhat far from the place, so if he is, he'll give a wave over to Dean as soon as he spots him but if he arrives first, he'll just wait patiently like a good boy. It's a good thing he's not hard to miss; who else has a bowlcut these days, especially grey grandpa hair? ]

action!

[michaels_sword]

[Since Dean is already in the dorm and doesn't have anything else to do before leaving, he probably arrives first. He doesn't mind waiting, though. It gives him more time to play around with this darn "World Mobile" and try to figure out how it works. He's not waiting long, anyway, before he notices Souji wave him over. Dean acknowledges him with a wave back and makes his way towards his new acquantance.]

Hey. You ready?

[noodlegoggles]

Woahhh! What did they look like? Did they have sheets, or--?

[michaels_sword]

Sheets? Hell no. They looked like dead people.

[noodlegoggles]

But how were they ghosts then? [he scrunches his face up in thought. unless--] Did you see them go through walls or something?

[michaels_sword]

It was just a movie. They had creepy makeup on.

[noodlegoggles]

Oooooh, okay! I see. I, uh, think.
