When: Now-ish!

VIDEO BROADCAST A.

[Sam has been mostly doing his usual thing - that is, collecting information about the new place, primarily the unnatural wild life. He even got a pet rock for shits and giggles, though he has kind of abandoned it on his little desk in his room, which he's finally sitting down at after a long day of working. He's humored himself in buying something more rocker-style, all thanks to some of the interesting shops down on the asteroid belts. With a grin he says -- ]

Well? Let's hear it: weird crap you've bought, go.

[He slides the pet rock box over, chuckling.]

... These were popular for a short time on earth, in the 70's. Some guy just... chatted with some buds in a bar about how hard it was to take care of actual pets, so he made these and sold over a million of them -- in fact, it made him a millionaire. Pretty impressively weird, right? Maybe even the most successful selling of weird. Unless you guys can top that.

At least Beanie Babies are kind of cute on a shelf. A pet rock -- who knows.

But now I can fit in with everyone who has an animal aboard. I bet you guys 20 credits mine is easier to potty train.



VIDEO BROADCAST B.

Demons. They can be a pain in the ass.

I guess this is mostly just something I tend to do from time to time -- um. Sigils, symbols, they're extremely important in my world. Some banish certain creatures, and some trap them. But the most important sigils you can learn are the ones to keep the supernatural out. Of you, that is.

[He holds up a hand.]

Now, before I offer this... Just keep in mind that demons differ from world to world. And some of them are surprisingly decent people. I'm sure a lot of you are thinking of Crowley, here. And Crowley is probably rolling his eyes at the thought people think he's decent. I'm not going to teach methods of killing them here or anything severe like that unless I have trust that you're not going to go ganking just anyone... but I want to keep people safeguarded if I can. Especially when I know at least one demon from my world has been here before [even if she is a semi-decent awful demon, xoxo meg], and the way demons from my world co-exist with humanity is by possessing their body against their wills.

[ATTACHMENT: SIGIL.]

This is an anti-possession ward. You put it anywhere on your person, and it effectively blocks them out from entering and controlling your body. There are a few others I could teach you guys -- mainly for keeping back creatures like wendigo and soul eaters, and I know a little witchcraft... nothing special. Um. If there's any rabid hell hounds around, I also know the method to dealing with those.

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

I don't know. I feel like I should be doing what I usually do at some point, I guess. Helping people out in case something tries to eat them, you know? And possession isn't a laughing matter. It's terrifying. But, you know, I also don't want to accidentally get anyone who isn't human killed or hurt.

... I got to admit, supernatural beings here are................ mellow. I'm usually expecting to them trying to eat my brain, or my liver, or my eyeballs. Or all of the above, with a bonus helping of soul. So, um. Bear with me.

[I learned a lot the last, like, three years in another universe. Good fun.

BUT STILL, A HUNTER IS A HUNTER IS A HUNTER.]

Well. That was really fucking rude. What have I done to you lately?

Video broadcast B;

[collegedropout]

Like that old song -- what have you done for me lately?

[:) he likes you at least, that's a rare thing, my dude]

I got to admit, you set a pretty good example of demonism.

Did you and Meg get along? Or have you not had the pleasure of dealing with her?

[onlyanapple]

Well, yippie skippy do for me.

[He isn't half as put out as he's trying to make himself to be. That much is clear in his tone. ]

We did, actually. She was one of those people who came and went to the castle a few times- different bodies, too. But we got on alright, when she was there.

This is the sign you put up if you want to keep Tyrion Lannister away.

Video

[collegedropout]

... That sign seems like it'd work for most hunters, actually.

[save_the_souls]

Thank you for the sigil. I'd been trying to figure out what my next tattoo should be.

[Might as well be something useful]

Video broadcast B;

[collegedropout]

Yeah, that's what I have.

[Um, but some traumatizing stuff happened and he had to get it re-done.

WE DONT... TALK ABOUT THAT SEASON.]

Tattoos a pastime for you, or just business?

video, A.

[paraclete]

A baby anything is cute, although I wasn't led to believe they belong on shelves. [...Yeah... Anyway,] I like it, the rock. That's not so weird, is it?

video

[collegedropout]

I guess it's not the worst, but, uh. Stuffed dolls of dogs or cats is probably more enjoyable.

Rocks just aren't very cute.

[proweird]

I might have decorated mine. [ She holds a pink rock up to the camera.]

[ As for the second broadcast. She listened, she absorbed and she's filing it away for later. ]

[collegedropout]

[Aw, shucks, you surprise a bright grin right out of him.]

I can complain all I want about how weird it is to sell pet rocks, but we sure did buy them, huh?

Looks like you definitely pampered yours.

little of a, little of b, who needs rules

[to_rebel]

[He bought a rock, too. Just hold it up so Sam can see it.]

I wonder who thought of it here.

[You're a wonderful friend, Sam, but please tell him that there's no holy oil in the fleet. And certain sigils can stay untaught. He'd rather not potentially find himself adrift in space.

It might be uncomfortable.] I didn't like liver. [Cas, did you just make a joke?

A terrible one, but still.]

[collegedropout]

[SNERK.]

Yours looks pretty cool, actually. I'm envious.

Your rock friend doesn't eat liver, does it?

Put it away -- before Steve sees it and decides he wants one. That's the last thing I need.

[ plague of her existence. ]

[collegedropout]

Aw, what? But imagine the easy maintenance.

[he's just bein a little turd]

[recipio]

This planet's pretty weird, but it's different. I got talked into this jacket.

[ He raises an arm for emphasis. It feels a little weird to wear, but it helps to blend in, right? ]

And I saw a pet rock and thought it was funny. [ He reaches off screen and comes back with a a pretty cool dude. ]

Other than that, got a bunch of what I think are sweet potatoes.

video A;;

[collegedropout]

[Heheh. Nice, Carl, nice.]

Wow, you and your rock are looking pretty sharp.

Are you going to get glasses to match?

Action because I can

[namisan]

[And lo, some time in the first days Sam picks up that rock, he'll come back to his room to find it has acquired a tiny orange wig (made from genuine orange hair GUESS WHO) and a lipstick line face with a little note tucked underneath it.

The note just says Seriously?

God knows who is guilty of this act. Certainly not the innocent captain peeling mikans in the kitchen. It's not like that's definitely her handwriting or anything.]

[collegedropout]

[.................

He calls out from his room:]

Hey, does anyone know what happened to Nami?

She's looking kind of frumpy today!

B!

[hollystrike]

[Give her a second and she'll send you a photo of a perfect reproduction of that sigil on a piece of paper. Excuse the circular beer-glass imprint on it. She's at the bar.]

Pretty good, I thought, given I never practiced. Not once in all these years. You'd think I'd have been smart enough, too.

[collegedropout]

[He sends her a picture of an A+ GOOD JOB written on a leaf of white paper.]

Probably should have, yeah.

But then, you totally stay out of trouble, right?

[halfbloodhatchling]

If rabid hell hounds are anything like ainmhí dubh, I know a few methods too. Most of them involve iron bullets.

[collegedropout]

... Irish Gaelic?

[He's thinking, anyway. He's pretty familiar with at least where the roots of words originate from.

He rubs his think thoughtfully.]

What are these creatures like?

Video

[goldenglasses]

That ward, when you say put it on I hope you mean with marker or like a tattoo. You don't have to... you know... burn it into your skin or anything do you? Like a thom-ah, um-cattle iron or something. At least I hope not, because that sounds rather painful if you do.

[Partly as Vash is considering very likely getting one hidden on himself. He'd really rather not have another scar.]

Video

[collegedropout]

... I mean, I guess you could.

I prefer a good old fashioned tattoo, though.
