[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.

It's better than being told to die, I guess.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Well.

... yeah, if you look at it that way.

[verifies]

Did Odin tell you anything?

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Not really.

He just acted like an elitist asshole.

[Like Michael, really. Same old song and dance.]

[verifies]

I guess that's just how gods are.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Yeah, without question.

[verifies]

Maybe it's a rule they have to follow.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

[That gets a laugh out of him.]

Well, if that's the case, then all the ones I've met get an A for effort.

[verifies]

The one I met was pretty good at it too.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Not surprising.

One day I'll meet one that doesn't piss me off in the first ten seconds.

[verifies]

The ones here aren't... as bad.

They haven't tried killing anyone, as far as I'm aware. That's a good sign.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Or it could just mean they want us for something worse.

[He doesn't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but. Well. Yes, he does.]

[verifies]

What would be worse than that...?

[ he can't imagine anything, but he does have a sinking feeling in his gut all the same. ]

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I haven't really had the best luck with deities.

I'm just being paranoid.

[verifies]

Being paranoid is probably a good approach for now.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

It's been the only approach that really works, in my experience.

[verifies]

What if you overdo it?

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I still leave the house and talk to strangers. I think I'm pretty good.

[verifies]

Not bad. As long as you don't start interrogating them.
