[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.

Your other?

[fanged_wings]

Mmhmm. Other half. It's like...if Akito was the light, then Agito would be shadow. He's my total opposite. [Despite this, he cares for Agito a lot, as probably evident by the fond tone] Two sides to the same coin. Together we make up this form.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

[Sam doesn't look all that bothered by the description.]

And he's still with you, right?

[fanged_wings]

Yup. We're still together. I guess we weren't considered to be too different to change. [He shrugs a little, listening to his other mutter in his head]

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

[Sam does look pleased about that, genuinely.]

Good. You're one of the lucky ones, then.

[fanged_wings]

[He smiles at that] I guess so. I'm glad too. I don't know what I'd do without Agito. He's too important to me. [Without Agito...he shivers a little. He doesn't know what he'd do without his other half]

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I think everyone has people like that.

[fanged_wings]

Yeah...though hopefully most of them are in one world. While Agito and I can't be separated, I don't think I'd recommend our arrangement with other people. There's times when having people with you in reality is good. [He knows this from experience]

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I guess there's a pro and a con to everything, including that.

But either way, it's good they didn't separate you.

[fanged_wings]

Yup. Everything had a good and a bad...

Mm, yeah. Still, I wonder how the house stuff will work...Agito's not in my house. [Eyes his bracelet curiously]

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

You guys are opposites, right? That makes some kind of sense.

Where is he?

[fanged_wings]

Yup. You think so? [He thinks on that]

He's in Hel's house. He has a different...powery thing from me, too.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

He's obviously staying with you, so I think that problem's already been answered.

I guess we'll find out more about what any of these houses actually mean the longer we're stuck here.

[fanged_wings]

Yeah, I guess so. I'll just have to hope there's no competitions or anything. Houses makes me wonder... [But he can hope]

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I think I'll stay out of them if there are.

[ -- of course, if Dean were here, it would be a no holds barred competition for anything awesome. 8|]

[fanged_wings]

Yeah...might be a good idea, neh.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Add competition to a tense situation and it'll just end in tears.

[fanged_wings]

I dunno, it could depend. Sometimes have a competition helps tension, so long as it's nothing too big and no-one really loses.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Some of the people in this city look like they have a lot of tension to release.

[fanged_wings]

[That makes him laugh, sheepishly and somewhat nervously] Yeah...just a bit.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

It's an idea, though.

[Sam isn't very afraid of the people in this city -- one of the most powerful people in his world is here and he's a mortal human just like everyone else on this rock. He's in a pretty good position to kick some ass if necessary.]

[fanged_wings]

Yeah. Even though it's weird to be suddenly here...I kind of hope they get their colour back soon. It's sort of sad, looking at a grey city.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

I think that's our job, to revitalize it. Supposedly.

[fanged_wings]

It'd be nice if we could help, while working on a way to get home. Since I'm sure a lot of people want to get home soon.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I have -- a lot to do.
