Glitch | "Who wants to remember all that hell?" | OTA
Who: Sam and you. Also Hell!Sam.
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When: 1/25/17 and onward as he glitches.
WARNING for Supernatural being awful, so you'll find stuff here that will be very mental health oriented. Mentions of torture/abuse, potentially graphic in narrative, talk of hallucinations, hell, the devil, etc. Sam'll also be reacting as someone who has endured said things listed so if that sort of thing bothers you don't mind me (or if you're close CR lemme know and we can work around it). Sam's a hot mess 'de-aged' for a week to season 6 (~5 years ago in canon), where he hasn't been resurrected yet and thinks he's still trapped in hell. Your character may think he's canon updated into the future but it's quite the opposite! Luckily!
WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY. AFTERMATH, CONTINUED. Space Bar/Garden/Iskaulit. (aka anything you wanna do before he glitches)
[Sam has busied himself with helping with repairs; luckily things aren't quite so awful looking, and the debris and blood's been relatively cleaned away. The garden is one of his top priorities, actually, other than helping re-open the bar (which congrats, guys, we did it! just need some replacements but...), and he can be found carefully replanting and plucking dead leaves and sadly pulling any of his herbs that were too damaged to salvage. He also helps with the library and works on any damage the Bloodsport sustained. Everything seems to at least be getting back to normal. That's good. Really good. And as much as he wishes they'd been spared the attack — Aria's still out, even if she's not dead from her injuries — he at least finds a shitty silver lining in being too occupied to think.]
FRIDAY. LIBRARY. "who wants to remember all that hell?"
[And on schedule, per Sam's luck, he glitches.
He's in the middle of quietly reading in the library when it happens, like a punch. His eyes roll back and he's out for the count, slumping forward, unconscious — for a short while. Images dance behind his eyes, voices teasing him from afar. If you happen to find him here, practically comatose against handwritten accounts of what happened during the raider attack, you'll find he looks — bad. Pale pink scars have formed on his arms and neck and face, and he twitches in the throes of terrible images, eyelashes clumped and wet. Despite what it looks like, he hasn't updated to a new point; he hasn't gone to the future.
No, he's gone to the past. Down below, trapped with the devil himself in a cage. De-aged years back, before he was resurrected, plucked from hell by Death himself. An attempt to rouse him will give the visitor a surprise: Sam jerks like he's been burned, shuddering like he's been struck by lightning before he throws himself back from the chair, toppling it with him, a strangled NO flying from his lips as he blindly crawls back and away. He's terrified and confused, utterly confused.
... Good luck.]
GLITCH. Iskaulit. Garden.
[After he wakes up from the library, anyone who expected him throughout the day will find he'll absolutely miss any appointments. He can be found wandering the Iskaulit, actually. He's not all there — actually, he's trying to figure out where this hallucination begins and ends. Nothing makes any sense, but there's no way he's going to think he's out of hell. No, this must be some elaborate prank by the devil. He's just... waiting for the whole thing to fall apart. Sure, he hasn't seen any familiar faces, and usually things would have gotten violent by now, but... you know. You can't trust Lucifer and his new tricks. Always, new tricks. You can't torment someone for eighteen decades without mixing things up a bit.
The nervous figure rubs his hand along his burn-marked skin, over rough scarring, and looks nothing like the usually confident and good-natured man Sam usually is; he's flighty, and his eyes dart to any little noise like it may very well be the death of him. Er. Well. He's pretty sure he's dead anyway, but the... mutilation and reconstruction of his soul, if you will. He doesn't want to be found, but it's inevitable. His teeth chatter behind his lips and he passes like a ghost, gray-rimmed eyes and disheveled appearance unnatural on his figure.
Sometimes if he hears someone approaching, he finds a place to hide and wait it out. Whether or not the person in question doesn't find him is another matter entirely, but regardless, he'll look at you as if you're aiming to behead him and squeeze into the smallest hiding space he can in order to evade your destructive hands. Because you're probably Morning star, you know? Probably.
He revisits the garden, temporarily eased by the plant-life growing there. Lucifer always did love nature. One of the few pleasures he was allowed was to witness exquisite scenery sometimes, when the devil was feeling generous. It was always accompanied with some sort of terrible double-edged sword, but at least Sam could enjoy that much. He sits with his legs pulled up, long fingers awkwardly plucking at someone's plant — he's a bit confused, because even though he's completely sure he's in hell and has been and never will get out... there's just. Something off. Something different. When he breathes, it doesn't hurt his lungs. And his bones don't crunch when he walks. And there aren't any hooks, aren't any flames (yet, Sam, yet, don't assume anything).
Even so. He huffs tiredly, head rolling on his shoulders, and plucks off a small fruit, unsure if he's even capable of eating it.
It's not real, it's not real. It's not. It'll probably turn into razors in his mouth.]
... This cage isn't very hot.
[Or frostbite-cold.
It's quite... pleasant, this temperature.
Everything is different. The devil is probably enjoying his owl-eyed confusion.]

no subject
Just a little. Which is about the size of his smile.]
Alright.
no subject
Here you go. You, uh... I'll be outside, okay? [Standing around while he gets naked isn't really her thing.]
no subject
He doesn't feel great, and every inch of him feels dirty and achy, but the towels are nice.
Moving off old muscle memories from what feels like decades so, he turns on the tub. It starts to fill up, and when he puts his hand under it, it feels kind of nice. He peels the clothing from his skin until he's naked and gets in slowly, like he's traversing dangerous waters; the fact that this is kind of depressing is lost on him in the throes of his uncertainty and caution over a bath.
He sits in it and watches the water slowly stain dark with old blood and dirt.
It mortifies him in some way he can't really put into words, so he sits there in it in mild horror for, you know. However long before the water starts getting cold. Or until Nami wonders what the fuck is taking so long. Or both.]
no subject
The second time she comes back to the door and there's still complete silence-- the tap's been turned off, but everything's so deathly still-- she knocks on the door, hoping honestly that he's just fallen asleep.]
Sam?
Doing okay?
no subject
... How long has he been here? It's hard to tell the passage of time, as he is.
But. He's fine. Totally fine. Never been better. The water had been relatively cold when he filled the tub; it felt super good on his burns, and it wasn't anything like the cold from the Cage, you know? But as time passes, it's... colder than it probably should be.
He shivers a little, teeth chattering.]
I'm f-fine.
[Right? Nothing bad's happening to him. He's not getting bludgeoned or anything.
Seems like a victory to him.]
no subject
Dammit. Sure you're fine. She rests her forehead against the door a moment. This is not particularly an area she wants to tread. Least of all for the reason a traumatised Sam is unlikely to take it well.]
I'm coming in. Don't panic.
[Even so, she gives it a count of five before she opens the door. At least the jacuzzi is hidden with its own petition, so... she glances around for a towel on this side and snags it.]
You're cold. [Casually.] Water not warm enough? You can refill, you know.
no subject
Uh... Y-yeah. Guess it, guess it is.
[He looks at the water, ducking his head a little.]
It's usually a-always cold. This isn't that, um, bad.
[What a mess.]
no subject
The water's a mess, dark with dirt and old blood, and she has a suddenly thought of why he's just sitting there.] Here, stand up. Don't lose your balance, okay. [She waves the towel at him, glancing determinedly off to the side. Sam she loves you, but she has no real desire to see you naked, especially when you're so fucking vulnerable.] Use this to keep you warm. I'm gonna deal with this water, okay?
no subject
He watches the water quietly circle the drain, silent for a long time.]
... Nami?
no subject
Yeah?
no subject
Before I fell?
no subject
Before we met in the garden?
...yeah.
[She won't lie. But before you fell this time, this uncalled for attack by the Atroma on your memories?>] Pretty good friends, I like to think.
no subject
... Even after — you know.
Everything?
no subject
You made some mistakes, Sam. That's human. You fixed them too, you know?
[She wasn't around for the Apocalypse deal, but she knows enough. If anyone tried to tell her she would abandon him if she actually came from that world, she'd punch them in the face.]
no subject
He regrets it pretty much immediately, because it just gives Lucifer more power -- so he does thin his lips and try not to show his relief... but it's just. It's nice. He tucks his chin and nods, not quite meeting her gaze.]
... Thanks.
no subject
All right. Fresh and warm water. [Less dirty, that's for sure. She stands.] Wanna try that again?
[She holds out a hand for the towel, most distinctly staring the opposite direction.]
no subject
But it's a nice one, a pleased one; he leans back a little, closing his eyes.]
... It's good.
Not boiling.
[He's just got to fucking ruin anything, doesn't he.
But he does sound incredibly pleased.]
no subject
I've got my water temperature down to a fine art. Hey, you want me to bring you some shampoo?
no subject
[His cracked lips thin into a smile.]
Dean used to make fun of my shampoo. Said it was girly.
... Of course, he still stole it when I wasn't looking anyway...
[Funny, what springs memories so clearly here.]
no subject
My shampoo's definitely girly. By definition. But it smells nice. Kinda citrusy.
no subject
I'd like some -- if you really don't... you know.
[Asking for things is hard. When was the last time he asked for something?]
no subject
[Clean hair may do wonders in general. It's the most she can do - help him feel as clean and comfy as possible, really. She gets to her feet, padding into the nearby shower alcove to hook her shampoo and conditioner down from the shelf.
...it's really hard to return while looking anywhere but the bath, you know. :| But she'll hold out the bottles to him. There's a little stand on the side of the bath he can put them, at least.]
Here.
[She hesitates a moment.] I should probably leave you to it. But I won't be far if you need anything. Just yell.
