[Between Mary being very, very missing and everything he knows she's keeping from him, John's stressed as hell. And when John gets stressed, he likes to drink to cope.

And when John drinks, he stops being the nice, helpful guy he usually is.]

We don't have to fight their damn war, you know.

[Yeah, kinda like that.]

These goddamn gods yanked us here and they expect us to fight and die in some war we've got no stake in? Oh, where have I heard that before?

[There's another pause as he takes another drink of...whatever this stuff is. It's good. It's strong.]

This isn't our fight. Fuck them.

Oh, thank goodness!

[preparenting]

What're you so happy about?

[likethelight]

[Might there be a faint... slur? judging you just a little, mister

Regardless if there is or isn't, Allen's got incredibly keen senses for things like the way a despairing person might slam back a hard drink. By ear or not. So his voice is a little terse, if soft.]

Feeling sorry for ourselves isn't going to help anyone, either. [IT'S NOT THAT HE CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION—

But.] I don't think it matters if it's what they want or isn't. It doesn't change the fact that there are people that need our help, does it?

[There were a lot of slurs in there. He likes slurs when he gets mad.

He also likes getting mad at people who try to be nice.]

Don't patronize me, man. I know people need help, but it's not our job to do it.

[ ᴠᴏɪᴄᴇ. ]

[ Hearing all of the things she used to say come out of someone’s mouth was somewhat strange, amusing, and sad all at once - she could remember a time when she would say things akin to this, only in a less colourful way. How long would he last, she couldn’t help but wonder; would he, like herself, come to accept the inevitable or would he be someone who kept on fighting against the gods? That’s not to say that she, herself, stopped fighting. No, she just didn’t see the point in saying these things anymore. ]

You may not be saying that when the war comes to you. I do find myself wondering though, how long are you willing to deny everything and brush everything off as ‘none of your concern’?

[ ᴠᴏɪᴄᴇ. ]

[preparenting]

[He can't help but snort a little at this girl patronizing him. Jesus, why is everyone so hung ho about fighting this dumbass war?

What the hell does she think she knows about war anyway?]

I'll stop "denying" it when it when someone give me a good reason why I should die for these assholes.

[samantha_grey]

No. You're right. We don't have to fight for them. Hell, you ask me a month ago, and I'd have been right on board with this, but I'm not letting the giants plow in just because these 'gods' are dicks. There's people I actually like here, people who haven't... [given up on her even when they should have, and have stayed without having some twisted reason.] They can't just leave, and they don't deserve to be left alone when an enemy that doesn't care who it hits comes through.

These are the same people who sent a dragon to drop a plague in this town. Screw them. They pissed me off.

Well, good for you. You go and fight, but you can't expect other people to just go out there.

[hatesblindjokes]

Smartest thing I've heard since I got here.

voice;

[preparenting]

I'm surprised more people aren't saying it.

voice;

[volcanoes]

No one's ever suggested that before. [Iceland's being incredibly sarcastic.]

Re: voice;

[preparenting]

Man, if you've got a problem, just say it.

[likeanerve]

Aaaah, yeah. That's probably a lot easier said than done.

Re: audio;

[preparenting]

Yeah, says you. I'm not fighting.

[Jo knows an angry drunk when she sees one, or hears one in this case. And maybe it's the fact she knows Mary would be worried about him, or maybe it's because Jo can sympathize, but she's worried too.]

You plan on drinking alone?

[audio]

[preparenting]

[Sorry Jo, but those words from a girl coupled with drunkbrain logic equals:]

Uh, you know I'm married right?

[Video]

[ofthursday]

You don't have to fight, if you choose not to.

[He hasn't spoken to John yet, and isn't sure if the hunter has any idea who he is, but he understands this sentiment. He still feels it, a great deal.]

Re: [Video]

[preparenting]

Yeah, I'm getting that. Too bad everyone thinks they need to.

[timesnewroman]

That's true. They can't make us fight.

[ There's a brief pause in the audio which, if John could see it, would be filled with Rory frowning. Just frowning. This is a difficult subject, but he can't bring himself to lie. ]

But it is our fight too. I know it doesn't seem like it. At all. But the gods have already said--our worlds are involved as well.

[preparenting]

[Wait, what?]

What? When the hell did they say that?

[ video ]

[pratentious]

[ He's not alone in these sentiments, and they are hardly wrong, but neither are things quite so simple; Arthur doesn't think John's drunken state is quite so simple. How long has Mary been missing now? ]

You are a bit deep into drink, John Winchester. Perhaps you might slow your hand.

Re: [ video ]

[preparenting]

I'm fine. I only had...

[Wait, let's count the bottles..]

Three.

[ealdorsprince]

[While he agrees and wants nothing to do with this war, he sighs.]

Some of us don't have the luxury of being so open with how they feel.

[After all Will is living on borrowed time.]

[preparenting]

Why? If you don't want to go ahead and say it?

What, does you god strike you down or something?

[whitelighting]

It's nice to finally hear someone else say that.

[preparenting]

Glad to be of service.
