[ she doesn't want to see anyone. talk to anyone. she doesn't want to hear it at all in any way that anyone is sorry, or might know how she feels.

the bar's closed, if anyone ends up going by. she's inside but chances are she's not opening it any time soon. ]

for anyone who might be waiting on them
sam winchester, castiel, daphne and charlie all went home
no idea when they'll be back but they're gone


roadhouse is closed
for a while

[ after a moment, she remembers something and adds in a second bit to the message. ]

anyone need a room?
I've got seven open rooms
can't pay for them on my own

[That's...a lot of hard losses right there. Sam, Castiel, and Daphne all gone, all at once. But Merlin isn't going to say "I'm sorry" when he knows how little those words help when you lose the people closest to your heart, as well-meaning as the words are.]

I got worried, when I noticed you and Isaac were gone. Glad to see you made it back all right in the end.

[After, you know, being a spirit. But, details.]

I'm heading over to your place soon. What do you want me to bring--hot chocolate or that awful thing you lot call "beer"? You know how terrible I am at holding my drink, but if you need the company, I'll resign myself to an awful headache tomorrow just for you.

[ you're lucky you're you, merlin. otherwise you would have been shut right down with a text, rather than her switching over to video, despite her...current state of being.

she looks tired. exhausted, really. coming back from the dead like that is one thing, another when you come back to everyone being gone. she's already spent her time crying, breaking things, crumpled on the floor and cursing the gods. she spent that time, pulled herself back together, and this is what's left. pale, dark circles, red eyes. ]

Yeah, we made it back as ghosts or some shit. [ she cringes a little at that, at the whole situation, but just ends up shifting to try and cover it up. being a ghost is not a memory she wants to look back on. ] But we're okay.

[ there's a hint of a smile there when merlin mentions coming over, and she's shaking her head. ]

Really, I'll be fine. I'm not- I'm not going to be good company. Seriously. Wait 'till tomorrow.

I was the same, not too long after you two. I think.

[His memory is still hazy in some places, though that might just be the exhaustion talking.]

Since when have I worried about good company, anyway? I'm coming over.

[If Jo thinks he's going to leave her alone to her frustration, she must not know him very well.]

You think the gods are going to explain any of that?

[ not that she really cares, right now. but it's something else to talk about. think about. ]

Merlin- [ but he has a point, and she sighs. ] Food, I guess. There's nothing here.

[frothing]

[intelligently]

i'm making you that drink
it's not fruity

[swedge]

thank god
maybe by the time I have it I'll have all the rest of this out of my system

text.

[intelligently]

i'll just keep making drinks until you don't need them anymore

[emulation]

That's a lot of people...

[And Katie's never really gotten used to the idea that people can actually leave.]

Sorry.

[swedge]

Yeah.

[ there's really not more to say about that. jo's had people come and go since she got here, but this was...a lot all at once. ]

's fine. No one's fault.

[ which kind of makes it worse, really. ]

[emulation]

I think there's going to be a summer party soon. [beat.] You should come.

Do you want some puppies to cheer you up? I could lend you some from my pet store. They're good at making you feel better after a crappy day.

[swedge]

thanks, but I'm gonna have to pass
I don't think I could take care of a small animal right now

[mccallmemaybe]

Oh. I understand. It was probably a stupid offer anyway.

Sorry about the empty rooms. I hope you get them filled.

So Castiel left, hm. [ Satan tilts his head. They were not from the same world, but still, all the conversations with him were rather nostalgic ]

Are you from their worlds?

[swedge]

[ she does not want to do video, but she switches over after some time. ]

Yeah, sometimes after the last event. [ there's a pause, where she wonders if she should be suspicious. ] Yeah, why?

[granddevil]

Are you an angel? [ since in Asgard it's hard to tell. ]

[Garth had only just arrived here, and decided one of the first things he needed to do was figure out the bracelet. He was browsing through the videos and texts, when he saw their names. He paused, confused by it, but figured the only way to get answers was to go to the source.

Now he just had to figure out how to contact her.

A few jabs at the touchscreen, and he had it.]

Hi. Um..I'm Garth. You don't know me, but I saw your text.

[He cleared his throat.]

Sam and Cas were here?

[He wasn't sure what to say next, so with an awkward grin he ended the transmission.]

[ asgard brings all sorts of people to asgard at all sorts of times, so jo's never really surprised whenever she gets random people popping up in her posts.

part of her almost goes as far as to ignore it, considering how much she doesn't want to talk to some curious newcomer, but then he goes and asks about sam and cas and jo stops.

stares. ]

Yeah. Dean too, a while ago. Why?

Video;

[fizzlesfolly]

Dean?

[He thought the boys would have told him if something like this place had happened to them. He frowned, clearly confused.]

I know them. The Winchesters and Cas.

[He cleared his throat.]

They never told me about this place, but everyone has been a little preoccupied lately.

[In the back of his mind, he wondered if there was a connection between the others having been here and his recent arrival, or if it was all a strange coincidence.]

text; a bazillion years later

[ Isaac told her that he went with Jo on a mission, that the mission got hairy, that a lot of people died. He didn't specify names, but she gathered from the way he acted that he was one of them and she has a sinking feeling in her gut that Jo was one of them as well. She's really, really hoping that feeling's wrong, too.

Either way, she's glad to see Jo's still around, even if the message on the network isn't exactly one of happiness. ]

Isaac found my bracelet for me, so if you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know, okay? I'm here for you.

[swedge]

[ if jo's being perfectly honest, this is probably the one text she's actually relieved to see. the majority of this post had been just to let the population know - sam and cas knew plenty of people here. daphne too.

but when she looks over the responses and sees allison's name, she jumps a little faster to respond, feeling like she can finally take a breath after holding it for so long. ]

welcome back.
I don't need anything right now, but I'll let you know
when I get the bar back up and running I'll need some more hands
but that won't be for a few days

text;

[gymnast]

Thanks. [ Though being welcomed back here is still a little strange, even after all this time. ]

Are you sure? Even if you just want some company, or someone to bring you some alcohol and/or ice cream, I'd be happy to do whichever.

[ She's worried about you, big sister. ;; ]
