[Sam is sitting in a chair in the library, surrounded by all of the books, and he looks somewhat tired, but in good spirits. For the most part. Save for that whole 'he definitely hasn't slept' thing.]

Hey -- I think this thing's on... anyway, I'm Sam Winchester.

[Ordinarily he'd never give out his full name, seeing as they're on the run from the Leviathan and all that, but he's ascertained the big bads aren't around -- so a little honesty couldn't hurt, especially with what he's about to ask.]

Nice to meet everyone. I was wondering if anyone could give me a couple of answers to some questions -- you don't have to, and it's obviously not obligatory, but I'd appreciate it.

First, how many of you have any kind of supernatural ability that was taken away when you got here? It doesn't matter what it is -- telekinesis, the ability to fly -- if anything changed, I'd like to know. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but knowing what changed is important in knowing how we all got here in the first place.

[And, more importantly, how to get out.]

Second, I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find some chalk and some spices. Specifically, rosemary, allspice, or nutmeg. Salt would be good, too. I know there's probably a grocery store or something like that around, but any pointers would be great. And, uh --

[Sam pauses before clearing his throat, thumping his pen against the table for a few seconds before continuing.]

Hypothetically speaking, if you had a coat with a lot of blood on it, what would you do to get it out? And I need to know where to find non-blood-stained clothes that'd fit a normal-sized human being. ... hypothetically.

[Sigh.]

Yeah, that's Cas.

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing that's his trenchcoat you're trying to wash then.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

The one and only.

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. I can't help much with that, sorry. [ he doesn't do the washing in the group. ] But is he all right now?

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's fine.

[Not really. But he won't bleed to death, which is a start.]

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear at least. He was in a bad shape when I saw him and he said he didn't need help in any way so I was a little concerned.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he does that.

[Cas vomits blood and says he's fine. He's a tough cookie.]

He's alright, though. Thanks for looking out for him.

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

No need to thank me. I didn't do anything save offer him a handkerchief.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Did he take it?

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

He did, actually.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I hope he said thanks -- if he didn't, thanks.

I can wash it and give it back to you as soon as I can.

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

No problem.

And sure, take your time finding out how to remove blood stains from your coat first. The handkerchief can wait.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Coat might be a lost cause. I think I screwed up trying to get the stain out of it already.

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's definitely a pain. I'd suggest to just find a good tailor to have another one made.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping I can find one good enough. And cheap enough.

Money isn't exactly around in piles for me.

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

You could always ask the gods.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure mine isn't the give-to-the-needy type.

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

The stingy type or something else?

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Elitist asshole type.

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

That's tough. But good luck. Hopefully there's a tailor out there who gives out coats for free.

I'll make sure to tell you when I find one.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I appreciate that.
