asgardeventide | 25 [Video] Day 367, post earthquake.

[This month has been a steaming sack of shit for Sam Winchester and it's beginning to show -- he's pale, has bags underneath his eyes, and looks like he hasn't slept in days. His home is intact, but he knows some other buildings in Asgard aren't, and Sam is beginning to develop a powerful migraine right in the base of his skull that he wants to attempt removing with a hacksaw.

Normally, Sam has a lot of patience for this kind of stuff -- panic and disarray is kind of the Winchesters' deal. But right now all Sam wants to do is lock his door and ignore everyone plus their mother, because right now, the closest people to him have done nothing but lie to his face about how everything is fine and dandy when in reality, Sam is falling apart at the seams.

Still, Sam has a point to prove -- and when he speaks, it's careful and calm, though a far cry from the normal gentle tone he carries when speaking to the panicked population of Asgard during times like these. He's overtired to the point of blind exhaustion and certainly doesn't have the strength to go around saving babies from burning buildings, but even though his entire life has crumbled to pieces, he's still a hunter.

People still need saving.]

Everyone who's injured needs to head the hospital -- and the able-bodied need to rally together and try to get to the people trapped in the collapsed buildings. The Citadel is a good place to get together, I think -- how about anyone willing to help out meet there? Bring water. The healers don't need to deal with heat stroke on top of everything else.

[Sam pauses for a few moments before drawing in a steady breath, releasing it slowly.]

Stay safe.

[Family first and all that.]

We need to do something to help -- as much as possible, anyway. I'm sure Arthur's team has got most of the search and rescue thing handled, but --

[Something is really bothering Sam and he runs his hands over his face, trying to focus his thoughts long enough to spit it out.]

-- did you see the natives' faces? They're terrified. I don't think something like this has hit them before. We also need to figure out how big the affected area is and whether or not the weird alternate dimension is responsible.

[There's another pause before he frowns and changes tracks altogether.]

-- does anyone have any sleeping pills?

you look the opposite of fine right now dude

It was a rough time in alternate Asgard.

I'll sleep it off as soon as I get the opportunity.

tell me about it

what would you tell me if i was the one working myself to the bone here?

To stop being an idiot.

That being said, I'm pretty sure I'm twice your age.

[or like

a lot older than that because of the whole 200 years in hell thing but w/e]

shut up

killing yourself is still a stupid idea no matter how old you are

I'm not killing myself. I'm perfectly rational, sane, and coherent. I have skills that can help the people of this city, so I'm going to help them.

Don't worry, I'm not going to drop dead.

[ -- today, anyway.]

whatever man

how can i help?

[don't sass me young man]

You can help by searching out survivors in the rubble. The native people here have no idea what just happened -- they're going to be scared. They need help.
