Who: Sam Winchester
Broadcast: TEXT. Fleetwide.
Action: N/A (but we can if you have an idea, just pm or plurk me!)
When: Today!
These masks continue to be a pain in the ass, huh?
But I guess the alternative is being laid up in bed sick — which I don't recommend, in case you're feeling brave, because seeing the people who took off their masks isn't inspiring any faith here. As for me, I'm needing a little break from travelling around down there in all that questionable toxin. Not exactly my cup of coffee, you know? Prefer more open roads, more green and, uh. An ocean I can smell and not go into coughing fits over.
Maybe I'll just spitball some stuff to pass the time while I question what I'm eating from these kitchens? I'm feeling nosy. Call it an acquired skill set, being nosy. Back in the other place I was trapped in, I mostly gathered information about our bestiary; monsters from all kinds of worlds would fall into the world with us, and I did my fair share of fighting some pretty rough creatures. Including the killer rabbits that would try to sabotage my garden. They're small, fast, and aim for the jugular, FYI.
Anyway, pick a number, any number —
1. Favorite fairy tale, ghost story, or piece of folklore.
2. Favorite thing about the other worlds you've been to? (Least favorite, too, if you're feeling like getting it off your chest? I'm a crappy psychiatrist, fair warning.)
3. Ever run into people who know you from a book, movie, or game? Or, uh... manga?
4. War games — which do you prefer, and why?
5. Magic in your world: real or fiction?
I figure I'm being totally transparent, but I'm a big fan of information gathering. But it's also... actually really nice to be in one place long enough to get to know people. How often do you have the chance to learn about alternate universes? Small pluses.

Can I ask what the name of the previous place you were? Mostly for my own nosiness, since I don't think I've heard of the monsters-falling-into-the-world thing before.
I'll go with 1-- I like the "Leviathan" story. It's a folktale that explains why the earth shakes under the city, and also warns people not to go too far down in the caves.
(Context: where I'm from, a lot of people live underground, so those two things are very important.)

... Ah.
I'm not fond of Leviathan. Different breed in my world, though. Probably.
text;
And is your Leviathan a giant fish-like lizard monster who tried to swallow the world? Because that's kind of how that one goes.
text;
And unfortunately, no. They're some of God's oldest monsters, but... they're... more like a black ooze that infects and transforms human bodies to their own desires. They kept human profiles so they could devise a way to make humanity their feeding stock.
Long story.
Metaphorical world-swallowing, I guess.
